He turned to Lily, who was in his lap.
"Honey, I don't want to be a possessive man who takes your mother's space and makes her feel suffocated, but I am so jealous whenever I see her surrounded by many men who are interested in her while I can't openly drive them away." London talked to Lily as if his baby understood his words.
Lily, who now had stopped crying, looked at him attentively. London became encouraged to keep talking to her. "You won't lose your mother. That is something I can promise you, love. We live close by, so you can be with her whenever you want."
Lily then smiled, showing off her toothless gum, making her father, who was sad, immediately feel happy. Lily's gray eyes sparkled. It was clear that Lily enjoyed her father's smile. Her tiny right hand touched London's dimples that appeared every time he smiled.
