He's been pacing back and forth, his mind seemed to be in a haze for a moment.
He couldn't sleep although he wanted to. his sleepy eyes went to fully awake when he saw the young child at the woman's apartment. Her eyes, they definitely had the same eyes! Ethan is sure that the little kid was the baby on Aisha's womb three years ago. So she made it? ah, he wanted to cry.
Never in his wildest dream did he ever consider that the child survived the fall. And the report of his detective friend didn't include the information about the little kid.
He only sent him a piece of information but not much to trace where she originally came from and what had happened to her three years ago. It appears to him that someone was trying to hide the woman's personal records too.
The little kid… the way she stared at him… ah, she didn't just inherit his pair of blue eyes, she also got his childhood's brashness. He chuckled frantically but after a while, he fell on his knees and cried his heart out. it's too painful seeing your family but couldn't even claim them. how he wanted to embrace the little kid earlier. how we wanted to hear the child calls him daddy. Dang! he could feel his heart being shred in pieces. What will he do next?
Flashback:
"Mommy?" the little lad squeak confused. She must have been startled to see a man sitting beside her mother.
Is it her first time to see a man in the house?
the little kid came closer but halted when she looked at the man. they were intently staring at each other... bewildered. Seems like they have the same question running in their heads right now.
Who could this person be? Why do they have matching eyes?
"Who are you?" the little kid asked shadily.
"Baby! It's me your daddy!" ah, how Ethan wanted to utter those words. Oh how he wants to hug this gorgeous little kid! His spawn! His very own!
"Baby, why did you wake up? It's not morning yet." Alex stood up and went to her side.
"I was waiting for you earlier. grandma said you went somewhere." She grumpily pouted at her mom. She's definitely upset.
"I'm sorry baby, mommy had to work today. Why don't you go back to sleep first." She held her tiny hand and was about to go back to her room but she glanced at the man who was in trance while staring back at her in a corner. She halted.
"Mom, who is he? His eyes…we have ---''
"Mira...!" she lightly yelled. She needs to prevent what she's about to say. The room will definitely be filled with awkwardness once she spurts what's on her mind.
"Go back to sleep, okay? Mom needs to talk to her superior for a while."
Mira scowled and looked at her mom doubtfully. She's in a fume thinking why her mom couldn't even answer her simple question, therefore, she pulled her hand off her then run to her room and bang it in front of them. She went totally ballistic this time.
Alex was blown away as well as Ethan. What's with the crabby attitude? She winced.
"I'm sorry about that." she spun around and apologized to the man.
"It's okay, I totally understand." Ethan stood up and walked towards the door while in the state of bewilderment.
"I'll see you out." the woman suggested and was about to get her coat but Ethan stopped her.
"No, it's okay… I'm good." As soon as he exited the house, he leaned his back on the door for a minute, then after releasing a heavy sigh, he went back to the hotel.
Ah… Mira… did she say her name was Mira? Gosh! A beautiful pair of blue eyes, fair skin and a curly brown hair. She got her eyes from him but the rest was from her mother.
After shedding some tears for an hour, Ethan picked himself up and took her phone out. Then he called his friend was again. He needs to know who Clement is.
"I'm sorry that I kept bugging you, but I need a little help again." He voiced as soon as the man answered his call.
"Not a problem. I won't bother if it is you." the man replied. "Who is it today?"
"Clement…unfortunately, I don't know his last name. but I think he's a doctor by profession.
"Ah, I might have a hard time looking that up since where missing an important information. But rest assured that I'll work on this as soon as possible. I'll just send you their photos tomorrow."
"Okay, I'll tell you who among them then." Then he hung up.
Aisha said that the man saved her life once and she owes him her life. something isn't right with that man, his sure about that and he will definitely find out what that man was trying to hide.
Meanwhile, Alex had been knocking at her daughter's room. She just freaked out and had showed an attitude while her boss was around. She needs to talk to her heart to heart. After a few more knocks, she released a sigh. Well, she can't blame the child though. She stop calling her out and head to her own room. Mira is stubborn and a strong willed little kid so settling the matter now would be useless. Might as well do it tomorrow.
She can't bear to see her child gets mad at her because of trivial things so she'll try to explain everything to her comes morning.
***
It's Sunday morning therefore both Mira and Alex are free for the day. however, Alex couldn't even invite her daughter out since she was still upset for what had happened last night.
"Baby, are you still mad at mommy?" she asked while making her a cup of milk. However, the little kid seems to be ignoring her.
"Mira, sweetheart. I know I yelled at you last night and I'm sorry, okay? don't you want to go out with me in the park?"
"..."
the child still snubbed her. so Alex stopped what she was doing and sat opposite her.
"Baby, what is it that you want?" she asked radically.
"Who is that man last night?" she finally spoked. "Why do we have the same eyes?" she inquired sternly.
Alex was caught off guard. She can't even think of a reason as to why they have matching eyes last night, except if he is the father. But that was too impossible! How could a mere woman be acquainted to that great CEO?
"Baby, you should know and understand that there's a lot of people out there who has the same pair of eyes like you." she started explaining.
"But I haven't seen one before, ever!" the little kid yelped. "Is he my daddy?" her eyes were staring at her hopefully.
She gulped. "No baby. How could that be possible? That man came from another country. His not from this place." She explained.
"Even if you have the same eyes, it was way too impossible that he'll become your father." She furthered.
"Then who is my daddy, then? Where is he? Why was I the only one without a daddy? All my classmates have one so they kept mocking me!" she blurted. Tears were about to fall from her eyes.
Eh? What? she didn't know that her schoolmates were teasing her because she doesn't have a father. Are they possibly bullying her? Her lip twitched in annoyance.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
Then she looked at the kid who was about to shed a tear. "Sweetheart, are they bullying you at your school?" she vexed. Cause if that's the case, then Alex needs to confront the child's teacher then. She can't let her daughter be bullied because of such!
"T-they say I am a bastard because I don't have a daddy…" she softly uttered then a tear dropped from her eyes.
