Chapter 78
Moira pursed her lips and didn’t bother to argue with him. “I’ve already packed up. The only things to take are in those two boxes.”
Barclay glanced away and said, “I have the driver come up.”
He paused, then looked at her right call, which was still wrapped in bandages despite the cast being removed. “Can you come downstairs by yourself?” Barclay asked.
Moira was embarrassed. “I came upstairs by myself just now.”
Barclay’s hand paused suddenly, and he pocketed his phone, stepping forward towards hor
Moira watched him bend down and was greeted by his woody scent. She asked, “What’s wrong?”
“Didn’t you complain that I didn’t carry you up just now?” Barclay said as his hand settled on her waist.
Before Moira could react, he had already lifted her.
She never complained
Moira instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, her face flushing as she realized her father was downstairs. “Put me down. I can go down by myself,” she said.
He raised an eyebrow, looking at her, and said confidently, “I don’t think you can.”
With that, he carried her downstairs.
Just as Aiken finished his phone call, he turned around to see Moira being carried downstairs by Barclay.
Aiken glanced at his daughter and said, “Isn’t your leg almost healed?”
Moira’s face turned red as she said, “Yes, almost, Dad.”
But Barclay insisted on carrying her, and she had no choice.
Aiken glanced at Barclay and reminded him, “Her leg is almost healed. It’s fine for her to walk a little bit.”
He didn’t want his daughter to be spoiled by Barclay
Barclayset Moira down on the sofa and said, “Moira said her leg hurts a bit.”
Moira thought, “What? Don’t put the blame on me.”
Barclay grabbed a cu s h i o n and placed it behind Moira’s waist before standing up. Then he took out his phone and said, “I’ll call the drivers.”
After telling the lie, Barclay walked away briskly, leaving Moira and Aiken staring at each other.
Aiken glanced at Barclay’s back and said, “Moira, I know that Barclay cares about you, you should push your luck, Okay?”
Moira didn’t know how to explain, and only said, “I’m sorry, Dad,”
Aiken sighed, “It would have been better if you Had met Barclay earlier.”
Moira felt awkward. If she had met Barclay earlier, she probably wouldn’t even be close to him.
But she didn’t dare to tell Aiken that.

Chapter 78
Barclay quickly came back after making the call. He glanced at Moira and said, “I’ll go upstairs and bring down your luggage”
Aiken felt a bit embarrassed to let Barclay do all the work. “Barclay, just take a sit, I’ll ask Thomas to bring it down.”
Barclay rolled up his sleeves and said, “It’s Okay, there’s a lot of stuff, and it might be a bit heavy. I’ll do it.”
He was much more considerate than Alfie.
Aiken became more satisfied with Barclay. Before Moira left, he reminded her to control her temper and not to be harsh on Barclay.
Beside
Blushing, Moira nodded in agreement. Besides agreeing, she couldn’t think of anything else to say.
Barclay suddenly interjected, “Mr. Jimenez, I married Moira because I like her for who she is. Whether she throws tantrums, being coquettish, or however she is, I still love her.”
He glanced at Moira beside him and added, “I don’t need her to change herself. However she is, I like her that way. And I’ll be happy as long as she’s happy”
Aiken’s sadness for his daughter leaving him was overridden by Barclay’s touching words. Even Moira was impressed by him.
She realized for the first time that Barclay, such a dignified person, could also make touching remarks.
Aiken patted Barclay’s shoulder and said, “Next time you come home, remember to call me ‘Dad
Aiken didn’t say much, but he knew Barclay knew what he meant.
