She's done preparing everything!
It's almost 2am when Alex finished preparing the stuffs that they will be bringing tomorrow for the family day.
Last monday night, Mira gave the note to her mother. It was a note about their family day to be held at their school. However, comes thursday, another note was given telling them that it will be a family camping somewhere at Mount Moriah. The place was known to be a safe place for family outing but Alex was a bit surprise about the sudden changes.
The school don't usually changes venues instantly. Relocating the event does not only mean having enough budget but it also needs the parent officers' permission. Although the kid's parents can afford spending more money for their children, but the changes is quite on the dot.
She doesn't know what happened since the teacher didn't tell her anything. She only notified her about the changes, that's it.
Family camping? She was actually hesitating to join the event but Mira had been convincing her each and everyday. However, Alex doesn't want her to feel unease by looking at children with their fathers so she was considering calling Clement to join them.
But there argument the other day was not settled yet. Will it be okay? She was thinking of asking him a favor when Mira spoke to her. Its as if she knew what she was thinking.
'' Mom... it's okay if we will go tomorrow without daddy Clement.'' She smiled.
'' What?'' How did the child knew what she was thinking? She was puzzled.
'' I won't be sad even if I see my classmates with their fathers as long as we will go together.''
That phrase from her child touch her heart. Ah, her little sweetheart, she does know how to comfort her mom. She's very proud of her.

After making sure that the things they needed for the camping was all prepared, the hotel staffs bid their farewell to Ethan who was busy choosing what outfit to bring.
'' Max, tell me, is this okay?'' He asked the sleepy man. '' do I look pretty stunning with this?''
'' Sir, just bring anything. Anyway, you look good with anything.'' He lazily replied.
'' Max, are you not going to help me with this?'' His tone hints annoyance.
'' Ashhhh!'' Max scowled. '' You do realized that you've been in the mirror for more than two hours already, right?''
'' I know, I know... it's just that I can't choose anything. I must dressed up for tomorrow but not as a business man, you know?'' He growled.
'' Well, if you want to impress a woman then just wear anything that'll show your toned body muscles! That way, any woman will drool on you.'' He was a bit pissed.
'' Why didn't you say that earlier?!'' Ethan lightly hit the young man on the stomach. '' that was actually a good idea!'' He chuckled before he dismissed the man from his suite.
Max rolled his eyes. Does love really makes even the most powerful man goes stupid? He sighed before leaving the hotel.
Ethan was busy packing his shirt and some extras when his phone suddenly rings. Grandpa? He creased his brow? Why is he calling all of a sudden?
'' grandpa, how are you?'' He asked when he answered the call.
'' Ethan, what's taking you so long? Why are you overstaying at Estrella City? You do know that you only have a few weeks more before you go to Paris, right?'' Master Omni blurted in one blow. '' Are you also planning to celebrate your birthday there?''
'' grandpa, I'm sorry. I still need to do something here. Don't worry I'll tell you everything as soon as i come back.'' Then he hung up. He knew that he won't stop talking once he started and will definitely thought that he might be punishing himself again for Aisha's death. He had enough of his grandpa's scolding so might as well surprise him soon.
At the moment, as soon as Ethan hung up, Master Omni got super upset. His grandson disconnecting the call just like that? Well, it only means two things; either he's busy at work or he's busy chasing someone else's tail. Therefore, Master Omni wanted to know which of the two so he dialed a number.
'' get me someone from Estrella hotel this instant!'' The old man ordered.
'' yes Sir.'' Then the call got disconnected.

Almost all the parents have already gathered at the meeting place. They have to make sure that all the children and their parents were all complete before heading to their venue. But aren't they complete already? Or perhaps, they're waiting for a special guess?
The head teacher kept looking at the entrance gate. And Mira seems to be looking for someone too. Well, maybe she's just searching for her friend.
30 minutes more to go before the program starts, however, they are still at the entrance site. After a few more minutes, a black car was heading on their location and almost everyones jaw dropped at the sight of an expensive car.
'' wait, is that a Bugatti la voiture noire car?'' One of the father's yelped in awe.
'' seems like it.'' The other says.
'' damn! That guy is so rich! Who's that guy?'' The other one spoke. They were all expectant to see who comes out from the car. He seems to be one of them since he parked his car not far from the others.
Alex was looking at the car too but she didn't mind it. She doesn't even appreciate luxurious car nor have any knowledge on them. Her simplicity sometimes labels her as someone stupid. Guess she didn't mind that description at all.
After a few minutes, the door to the car opened then a hot guy slowly came out. He was wearing black shades that accentuates his long nose and playful plump kissable lips. Ah! How they wish to see his eyes! And those great biceps and the tone chest with the stomach packed with rounded abs... ah, they could see through his plain white fitted shirt. all the women presents wanted to ravish the seemingly young bachelor but was trying to hold their thoughts since they were with their respective husbands.
'' Who is he?'' Murmurs started to spread everywhere. Alex, who was busy checking their bag averted her gaze to the person who had just arrived. Suddenly, her eyes widened and her jaw dropped in shocked.
What is he doing here? She creased her forehead.
'' Daddy!'' Everyone heard a tiny little girl shouted and run towards the man.
''Daddy?'' Everyone raised their browline when they saw Mira dash towards the man. The man picked her up and carried her with a smile.
Alex was more than shocked especially when she heard her daughter shouted ''daddy.'' What is happening? Why does she feels like this was planned in advanced. And when and how did they ended up becoming a father and a daughter duo? A lot of questions were running in her mind. But like her, almost all the parents and even the teacher were staring at her suspiciously.
'' Mr. Ethan, thanks for coming.'' The teacher greeted the man then finally faced the children with their parents who are still in daze. '' We're all complete now. we may now go to our designated place. Then she led the way. Some of the parents followed the teacher but some were stil staring at the man then to Alex.
As far as they know, the woman was a single mother and the child was just a product of the woman's coquettishnes. Then who is this guy? Maybe someone who she was trying to flirt too. Some parents didn't believe that the man was the child's father.
Ethan slowly walk towards the stunned woman with a smile on his face, while carrying the little girl.
But then she icily glared at him while folding her arms across her chest. '' Care to explain what's happening here?'' She doesn't look happy, in fact, she had a devilish aura around her.
'' calm down, hun. I'll explain everything later.'' He whispered then he grab the woman's hand and interlock their fingers. The woman jerked as soon as she felt the electric bolt coursing through her body. Dang! She's speechless.
'' let's go.'' The man smiled and pull the woman close to her and started walking side-by-side.
'' wait.'' She suddenly halted. '' I forgot the bags.'' She was about to turn back but Ethan stopped her.
'' Don't worry, max is here.'' He smiled and looked back. Alex spun around to see a young man carrying a lot of bags. Wait, are those Ethan's stuffs?
'' Are those things yours?'' She raised her brow. The man only chuckled and continued walking. As for Alex, she looked at the young man apologetically.
As soon as they reached the place, the other's started setting up their tents. therefore, Ethan ordered max to bring out their tent as well. Alex was perplexed. No one told her about bringing a tent! Why isn't she informed? Now, she started thinking suspiciously, so she went to see the teacher leaving Mira with Ethan and Max.
'' Why didn't you inform me about the things we need to bring?'' She yelped. '' do you really hate me that much?''
Then the teacher jolted in surprise. '' That's no true Miss Miran. I thought your husband told you about this already?''Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
''Husband?'' She raised her brow.
'' Yes. In fact, this outdoor family day was his idea and he gave a big amount to sponsor this event.'' The teacher explained.
Alex was dumbfounded and was a bit confused. Then she looked at Ethan who was having fun building the tent with Mira. Then she recalled how Mira stopped her from calling Clement and the changes of the venue and the less workload that Ethan gave her yesterday... so it means, it was him who planned all these alone? Now she's mad. Totally mad.
How dare him do such things without her knowledge? And how could he involved her daughter on this? This is an unacceptable behavior. Unknowingly, she clenched her fist and was ready to confront the man.
