Brian's mood was sour, but Alston seemed rather pleased.
A faint smile graced his narrow eyes, and he didn't even pay attention to Brian's words.
Instead, he lowered his head, still looking at Gladys, whose eyes were still red, and said, "Didn't you call me Daddy?"
Although Alston's meaning was unclear, Gladys nodded vigorously, even reaching out to grab Alston's clothes. "Yes! Daddy!"
Alston smirked provocatively, casting a challenging glance at Brian.
To be honest, it was the first time he found this little one so adorable!
For the first time, he reached out to pat Gladys's head, his voice even warmer than usual, "Do you want to see your grandparents?"
Gladys's eyes lit up, emphatically responding, "Yes!"
She was thrilled that Alston was getting close to her. When Alston reached out to touch her, she even leaned into his hand.
