Question

How does the dialogue in this passage develop Dad's point of view?

Dad walked into the living room, craning his neck to look all around.
"Oh no! I've lost Devon!" he exclaimed, "Where could she be?"
He got on his hands and knees, crawling along the foot of the sofa.
"Nope, not under there."
He smiled as he passed the little toes sticking out from under the
curtains, but he managed to resist tickling them.
"Well
, she's not here," he said, ignoring a giggle. "I guess I'll have to eat
this macaroni and cheese all by myself."

A. It shows that Dad wants Devon to think that he really can't find her.
