Chapter 1575 "Are you blaming me for causing you to misunderstand?" she retorted.
Edwin's inner response was an affirmative one.
However, at this very moment, he had no alternative but to comfort her. He said ingratiatingly, "Darling, you are the most significant person to me, and it is absolutely unjust to blame you. The one deserving of blame is none other than myself."
Edwin's soft attitude was an uncommon sight for Joanne. Biting her lower lip, she asked curiously, "Blame you for what?"
Edwin immediately realized that he must answer this question properly. After a thoughtful pause, he let out a gentle sigh.
"Blame me for not being perceptive enough four years ago, blame me for my irascible temperament four years later, blame me for my obstinacy, and blame me for failing our daughter and betraying your genuine intentions."
Joanne's expression soured upon hearing the mention of" four years ago". However, when she caught sight of Edwin's sincere gaze, her anger swiftly transformed into embarrassment.
His genuine admission of fault was truly a rarity. Once proud and aloof, he habitually looked down upon others. However, at present, he had cast aside all his arrogance and was willing to accommodate them. Even if she desired to blame him, the words couldn't find their way out.
"Darling, are you still angry with me?" Sensing Joanne's reluctance to sulk, Edwin finally relaxed.
Joanne bit her lower lip and complained, "It won't solve the problem at all. Look at how terrified Tail has become because of you."
Nestling in Joanne's arms, Tail sobbed and trembled, with her tears flowing ceaselessly.
"I was wrong, but I lack the experience to comfort our daughter..."
For the first time, Edwin felt a deep sense of defeat in his interactions with the little girl.
Joanne lowered her gaze, fixating on Tail's adorable face that resembled that of a kitten. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"I was cooking in the kitchen just now, not leaving you alone. Be a good girl and stop crying."
Tail raised her head, meeting her mother's gaze. With tears still streaming down her face, she tightly wrapped her short arms around Joanne's neck. Although she still pouted, the tears had ceased.
Joanne brought Tail into the kitchen. The porridge was almost done, and she only needed to prepare two side dishes.
However, at this very moment, Tail clung tightly to Joanne, refusing to let go of her.
"Tail, I need to cook now. You can't keep holding onto me..." Joanne attempted to negotiate with Tail. Then she nodded towards Edwin by her side and suggested, "Why not let him hold you?"
"No," Tail asserted adamantly, her eyes brimming with plea.
Joanne felt a headache coming on. Such an attachment from the little girl was entirely foreign to her.
"If you don't let him hold you, I won't be able to cook for you. Is your little tummy growling with hunger or not?"
Tail's chest, which had just stopped heaving, sank dejectedly. With a resigned expression, she nodded. "Yes, I am hungry."
"Honey, let Daddy hold you..." Edwin extended his hands just in time. He knew that Joanne had deliberately created an opportunity for him to draw closer to Tail.
His eyes were now overflowing with tenderness and anticipation, as if they were about to radiate brilliance.
Joanne continued to whisper into Tail's ear, "Actually, he is not a bad person. During the time you were kidnapped, he was the one who rescued you, wasn't he? We should learn to be grateful to those who have helped us. Since he longs to hold you so much, why don't you give him a chance?"
Tail's gaze fell upon Edwin. In truth, she did not harbor such a strong dislike for him.
But this man wanted to take Mama away from her!
Mama hadn't even slept with her last night...
At that very moment, the doorbell rang.
