"Okay, can you call me Dad now?"

Micah couldn't wait to hear the children call him Dad. He had never put so much effort into pleasing anyone in his life.

These days, his office was filled with parenting books, and he took time every day to study various ways to interact with children. It was real brain work. He did all this to make the three little children willingly call him "Dad."

"No..." Mia pouted unhappily, looking reluctant.

Noah and Nathan were about to speak but held back when they saw Mia's disagreement.

"Is there any other problem?" Micah asked cautiously.

It was really the first time in his life that he had been so cautious...

"The title 'Dad' doesn't sound good." Mia tilted her little head innocently. "I think 'Daddy' sounds better."

"Yes, yes," Nathan quickly agreed. "We call Mommy 'Mommy,' not 'Mom,' so we should call you 'Daddy.""

"Then let's call you Daddy," Noah declared finally.

"Okay, okay." Nathan and Mia nodded.

The three children glanced at Sadie and then at Micah.No one spoke first.

Micah covered his forehead, feeling the agony deep in his heart. It was really hard to hear them say "Daddy."

"Hurry up and call him," Brenda urged anxiously.

Sadie just smiled and remained silent.

"I'll count to three, and we'll all say it together." Mia waved her chubby hand, conducting like a music conductor. "One, two, three!"

"Hey, Daddy-~" the three children called out in unison, their voices clear and sweet, with a hint of cuteness.

Micah's heart was melting, and he immediately embraced all of them.

Micah wanted to imitate Sadie and give them kisses, but he wasn't sure how to go about it.

"Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, Daddy..."

The three children surrounded Micah, constantly calling out to him and leaning in to give Micah kisses on his face. Coco, awakened by the noise, fluttered its wings and flew up to Micah's head, joining in, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy!" Micah was surrounded by the children's fiery enthusiasm and didn't know where to put his hands...

"Haha, this is great, so great." Seeing this scene, Brenda couldn't stop laughing.

Sadie's eyes welled with tears as she experienced a happiness she had never dared to imagine. The scene unfolding before her seemed too good to be true, yet it was happening so swiftly.

She longed to grasp onto this perfect happiness, but suddenly, her right arm began to throb with intense pain once more. The sensation radiated up to her shoulder, gradually spreading throughout her body.

In an attempt to conceal her discomfort, Sadie reached for a cushion and draped it over her aching arm. However, the pain intensified, feeling as though thousands of ants were gnawing at her blood vessels, on the brink of bursting. Unable to endure it any longer, Sadie rose from her seat and hurried into the bathroom.

"Hmm?" The children were stunned, turning back to look at Sadie. "What's wrong with Mommy?"

"She's probably just too happy." Nathan climbed onto the sofa and lay on Micah's broad back, saying, "Daddy, carry me!"

"Okay." Micah's attention was completely focused on the children, who were not really paying attention. He just said to Brenda, worried about Sadie, "Brenda, can you check on her?"

"Sure." Brenda nodded repeatedly, getting up with a smile. "Say-Say must have been too excited and secretly went to the bathroom to wipe away her tears."

"Mommy is crying..." Mia wiped her eyes with chubby hands, imitating Sadie's crying, "Just like this!"

"Mia, that's bad. Don't imitate Mommy," Noah scolded.

Mia stuck her tongue out at Noah and crawled into Micah's arms, saying, "Daddy, carry me!"
