Chapter 1281 Taking the Daughter Is NotAllowed

Algerone seemed to be able to guess her mood at the moment, hisvoice still full of patience. "Here's the thing, if you're planning to cometo Arkpool City for a visit, I can arrange for accommodations.”

He chuckled, "After all, we were once a married couple, and Monica ismy daughter too. Besides, Monica has grown up now; there's no needfor us to be at each other's throats.”

"What are you trying to say?" Belinda had no time for his ramblings."Can you get to the point?"

“The point is that I want to improve our relationship. After all, we're notyoung any more, and we should be more rational in our approach tothings than we were when we were younger, right?"

"What's happened?" Belinda asked bluntly. "Are you divorced?"

"..." Algerone was at a loss for words, not knowing how to respond.Belinda scoffed, "Now you remember how good your ex-wife was? Nowthat your child has grown up, you want to improve your relationship?Where have you been all these years?"

"Have you ever picked up our daughter from school even once?""Have you ever bought her a single piece of clothing?"

"Have you ever taken her to the hospital when she was sick with acold?"

"Have you ever attended a single parent-teacher conference at herschool?"

"Nothing! You've been absent all this time!" Belinda couldn't help butaccuse him. "Now that our daughter has grown up, become successful,and doesn't need our care, you want to improve your relationship? Areyou hoping she'll support you in your old age? Ask yourself, do youdeserve it?"

"No, you can't say that!" Algerone, both angry and wronged, naturallyhad to refute her. "I've always wanted to fulfill my duties as a father, butyou wouldn't let me contact her! I can't even make a phone call to myown daughter!"

"So if I don't let you contact her, you just won't? If I tell you to die, willyou die?"

Monica almost bit her fork, looking up at her mother.

"Can't you figure it out?" Belinda was exasperated. "Algerone! If youreally wanted to see your daughter, if you still had even a shred ofresponsibility, as long as we're both on this Earth, wouldn't you replace away to see her? If your heart truly wanted to fulfill your obligations,could I even stop you?"

"..." These words completely confused the middle-aged man's logic.At that moment, he was in his office, holding his phone in one hand andscratching his head with the other. "Belinda, you win!"

"Where did you get my number?" The woman said unhappily. "Let metell you, we're better off never seeing each other again. Thank you verymuch!”

With that, she hung up the phone.

Monica chewed on her pasta, thinking that Algerone was much easierto communicate with than her mother.

It was so hard for them to have a phone conversation, how did it fallapart like that?

Belinda put her phone down on the table, her gaze fell on herdaughter's face, and suddenly she lost her appetite. "Tell me, how didhe get my number?"

Her tone was interrogative, her eyes clearly suspicious.

"Huh?" The girl met her mother's gaze, "You're asking me?" Then sheblinked her big, innocent eyes, "How would I know?"

Belinda stared at her for a few seconds, then stopped doubting her.After all, this was her own daughter, whom she had raised single-handedly. Moreover, obtaining a phone number could be done throughmany means.

"Algerone’s purpose this time is too obvious; he just wants to take mydaughter away. After all, he doesn't have any children of his own, andhe'll need you to take care of him when he's old.”

It was a very practical issue.

"Belinda, I don't mean to criticize you, but what do you mean by “takingyour daughter away'? I am his daughter too."

"Did he give birth to you?!" Belinda frowned.

"..." Monica suddenly didn't dare to speak, reminding herself not to addfuel to the fire!

So, she slowly put down her fork, took a napkin and wiped her lips,"Actually, you don't need to be so hostile. How many years havepassed? Can't you let it go?"
