Chapter 2139

In the official residence.

Just as Rodney carried Dani over from the sitter’s hands, the baby started crying not long after.

He became annoyed. When he came in the morning, Dani cried as soon as he carried her. He kept
telling her that he was her father, but she did not understand him at all.

To Dani, Rodney’s scent had become unfamiliar. She did not like strangers carrying her. Rodney then
kept playing with her after she woke up from her nap in the evening. They managed to get a little
closer, but Dani still did not want him to carry her.

“Dani, I’m Dad. Don’t you recognize me?” Rodney was heartbroken. “When you were just born, you
liked me carrying you so much. I was the one who put you to sleep every night.”

Dani did not care. She kept pouting and crying. Her teary eyes glanced toward the sitter at the side.

The sitter sighed as she watched.

Heidi’s heart ached from listening to the child’s cries. She could not help but mock coldly, “Children are
forgetful, especially those who are just a few months old. They’ll forget people if they don’t appear for
one week, let alone you who haven’t cared for your child for more than a month.”

Nathan kept a cold expression and did not say a word. He thought Rodney deserved it anyway.
Rodney brought everything upon himself.

Rodney’s face was flushed red from being mocked. “I didn’t do it on purpose. There are a lot of things
going on in the company these days, and Sarah-“



“Yes, you’re busy with your company’s matters, busy taking care of Sarah, and busy preparing a
wedding for her. You don’t even have time to spare to accompany your daughter,” Nathan scolded
Rodney. “Dani might be young, but she can differentiate who’s more attentive to her. She’s your
biological child, yet she can’t even compare to anything else in your heart.”

Rodney opened his mouth reluctantly. However, seeing his daughter, who was crying pitifully in his
arms, a deep wave of guilt welled up in him.



“Oh, why is our Dani crying so badly?”

Ryan’s sarcastic voice came from the door.

Rodney raised his head and looked over in dissatisfaction. He saw Ryan and Freya walking side by
side. Freya was wearing a mask, and she had a scarf around her neck. She held a hot drink in her
hands. The two were of similar age. Ryan was competent with a good character while Freya had a
stunning figure and beautiful looks. They did not look like siblings at all. Instead, they seemed to be a
man and woman who shared an ambiguous relationship.

Yes, things looked ambiguous between them.

It seemed to be that way to Rodney.

Flames of jealousy burned in his chest.

Freya did not even care to look at Rodney. Her attention was fully on Dani, who was crying. She was
anxious, but she did not dare to carry Dani as she had a cold.

“Dani, my good baby. Why are you crying?” Ryan quickly extended his hands to carry her.



Rodney carried his daughter and avoided him.

However, when Dani saw Ryan, she kept stretching her tiny hands toward him, wanting Ryan to carry
her. When Ryan could not do so, she cried even more sadly.

Traces of depression and anger welled up in Rodney’s heart.

Why? Dani was his biological child, yet she would rather Ryan carry her instead of him.

“Rodney, can you cut it out? Can’t you see that Dani is crying? Children can’t cry for too long. It’ll hurt
their throat.” Ryan’s handsome face darkened. He extended his hands. “Give her to me. I don’t want to
snatch her because I don’t want to hurt her.”

“She’s my daughter. I can coax her by myself.” Rodney let out a hmph.

Freya got furious seeing his arrogant face. However, before she could unleash her anger, Nathan got
angry first. “If you could coax Dani, she wouldn’t be crying until now. If you really cared about her, you
wouldn’t have gotten involved with other women outside instead of staying at home to accompany your
wife and child. The child is crying. You might not be distressed over it, but we are.”

Rodney’s face paled.

Ryan took that opportunity and carried Dani away.
