"Seems like my little princess has already forgotten that she has another father who was craving for her attention here.." Mr. Smith said in a pouty yet cute voice..

Veronica turned her face towards father Smith and saw him sulking at her. Veronica laughed at his childish behavior and went towards him and wrapped her hands around his shoulder to give hem a big hug...

"I didn't forget you Dad. Don't worry, I love you more than I love your son." Veronica muttered, making Mr. Smith smiled in triumph as he wiggled his eyebrows at Reuben playfully.

"Heard that son? She loves me more than you." Mr. Smith teased making Reuben roll his eyes at him.

"Don't overjoy yourself. She just said so to keep this old man's heart. Nothing more cause everyone present here knows that she loves me the most." Reuben retorted back as he took a seat on the couch along with Neil and Henry.

Lucinda also walked towards her father and sat beside him..
