She was fuming with anger.
As soon as she was done confirming things from the teacher. The woman went back to where the three was. Mira was definitely having a good time building their camping tent.
''Mom... look, daddy is so good!'' She exclaimed as soon as she saw the woman came back.however, she only faked a smile and Ethan was quick to notice that.
Damn! He's doomed. Does that mean that she already knew what he did? If not, why else does she has that kind of aura?
''Let's just finish this real quick.'' She snorted without looking at the man.
Ethan and Max stared at each other.
'' This is a family day event, I wonder why you're here and why did you even bring Max with you?'' She casually uttered.
Ethan jerked and was about to say something but the woman continued speaking.
'' This is not a business trip you know. And in case you wanna join, you shouldn't have brought max with you.'' She continued.
'' Mommy? Are you angry?'' The little child seems to understand what's happening.
'' No sweetheart. I'm just stating some facts.''
'' Please dont be angry at daddy... I was the one who asked him to come.''
Alex jerked. Eh? Since when did they had time to talk about it? Was it last monday when she went out for more than 30 minutes? Is it possible for them to be that close for just a certain period of time?
'' Originally, I didn't want to join this event but daddy...''
'' that's okay sweetheart... I'll talk to your mom first, okay?'' The man interrupted the little child who was about to burst in tears.
Then he cued Max to take the little child and leave them for a while. Max understood what he wants therefore, he took the child's tiny hand and distance themselves for a bit.
As soon as they were a distance away, Ethan went near the woman who was watching her child play with max and with some other kids.
'' Alex, I know what I did is teribble and you must be thinking that I don't have the right to interfere with your life nor your daughter's... However...''
'' You should know not to meddle with other people's affairs!'' She squeked.
'' Alex.....''
''Listen... I don't know what your thinking nor planning but I wish you'll stay away from my daughter.... pretending to be her father...'' Alex clenched her fist. '' Pretending to be her father... do you know how it will affect her? Even if this is just an act, you, as an adult should not instill a seemingly impossible hope on that kid!''
Ethan lowered his head for a while. He was thinking deep. Will he tell her the truth now? His not trying to give false hope, in fact, it's the other way around! He wants to give little Mira a glimpse of hope...
'' Alex... there's something I need to tell you.'' He went serious all of a sudden. Though the woman got startled, she can't hide the fact that what he was about to say is something important but she couldn't see his reaction since he is still wearing his dark sunglass. How she wants to see his eyes!
'' About Mira... his father...''
'' You!'' Ethan and Alex was interrupted when they heard an argument from the children. '' Take back your words or else!''
It was Mira who was about to hit a little girl and a little boy. Eh? They creased there brow and Ethan instantly search for Max. He thought Max was with Mira!
'' Bastard!'' The little boy yelled. '' my mom said you don't have a father because he doesn't love you!''
'' Say that again?!'' She pushed the boy and he fell on the ground. '' I have my dad with me today!'' She clenched her teeth.
'' He is not your true dad!'' The little girl intercepted. '' My mommy said he is not your dad!'' The girl stick her tongue out as if provoking Mira.
Instantly, Mira kicked the little girl's toes in anger. She must have kicked her hard since she cried loud and it catch their parent's attention.
'' Oh my! Carla, James!'' A woman who seems to be in her fourties run towards her children. '' You! What did you do to them?'' She shouted at Mira.
She looks monstrous enough but Mira's mixed emotion at the moment seemingly blocked the spirit of fear in her. She's not even scared at the big woman scowling in front of her.
'' Mira! Sweetheart! Why did you that?'' Alex immediately run to where her daughter was.
'' It was there fault for saying I am a bastard!'' She yelped then glared at the kids and there mother. '' and they heard from this big, fat, ugly woman!''her tone was filled with disgust as she pointed her fingers to the woman who was shocked at the child's description of her.
'' You!'' She was aggravated. '' Isn't it true? You don't have a father because he doesn't like you! He doesn't love you and your filthy mother!'' The woman blurted out not minding the other parents and their kids watching them.
Alex jolted at the woman's words and started to clenched her fist. They can insult her but to include her daughter is already an under the belt case. Now she's itching to kill the woman. Her eyes, dark shadows are starting to penetrate it. Her heart was beating fast upon seeing her daughter was about to cry.
No one dares to make her child cry, unless she, as the mother, punishes her for her lack of discipline or what not. She was hurt within knowing that she had never considered her daughter as a bastard even if she can't remember what happen to her and as to why she have Mira. She can't remember anything about her past, and to say that she's a bastard... ah! she already made her resolve, she's going to tear the woman in pieces no matter what.
She evilly smirk and was about to stand up when she suddenly heard an icy voice.
'' What did you say? Can you repeat what you had just spoken earlier?'' His tone hints a murderous aura. '' Woman, I don't know how you were able to say that in front of me, but you should know how to be cautious.'' His stance was like that of a king.
'' And who are you? Did that wenched offered her body just to convince you to act as this child's father? Huh!'' She was filled with contempt. '' Young man, why don't you just save yourself from this cursed woman?!''
Ethan sneered. Wait! That kind of smirk... they have seen it before. The woman was thinking as well as the other parents. Then the woman's husband came to her rescue and immediately apologized to the man and to Alex.
'' I'm sorry... Please forgive my wife and my children for their rudeness.'' He kowtowed apologetically..
'' Why are you apologizing? Is it our fault that our children were telling the truth?''
'' Honey! Shut up! Your embarassing us!'' Her husband was trying to hush her.
'' Woman. If I can prove you that this little girl is my flesh and blood, are you going to take responsibility for your false accusations?'' Ethan twiched his brow.
'' Ethan... t-that's enough... you don't have to go that far.'' Alex softly uttered thinking that it will just cause him more trouble to fake their relationship.
Ethan had been wearing his shades for quite sometimes now, but then he slowly took it off and his pair of beautiful blue eyes were exposed to everyone.Find authorized novels in Webnovel,faster updates, better experience,Please click www.novelhall.comfor visiting.
Everyone was in awe. The big woman and her husband widened their eyes in disbelief as well. No! Their eyes! Both the little girl and the man has an identical pair of eyes! Blue eyes! They gulped.
'' D-daddy...'' the little girl helplessly uttered and went to hold Ethan's big palm. Even Alex was surprise to see her little girl cling into the man's hand. Then Ethan looked at the child who shed a tear. He stooped down and wiped her cheek lovingly.
Everyone who was watching from a distant were dumbfounded. They can't believe their eyes. Is it really true? Is he the little girl's biological father? Then murmurs started to spread around.
''Woman... will you apologize to my wife and to my daughter as well? Or would you prefer jail instead? You choose.'' He authoritatively voiced.
'' Momma...!'' The two kids exclaimed and showed fear for their mother as soon as they heard the word 'jail'. Of course they know what that means.
'' hun apologized now, quick!'' Her husband was urging her.
The big woman couldn't speak at all, she also looks pale seeing how things turned upside down. Is she doomed? But she doesn't want to apologized to the woman and to the child either!
'' Wait... isn't that man the great and powerful CEO of the Saphiro Ghentz Empire?'' One of the man was able to recognized him.
'' Eh? Really? Are you sure? Maybe they just looked alike?'' One of the parents stated. However, those statements stirred the whole assembly therefore they all took out their phones and searched his image online. To their surprise, it was really the great CEO from the Central State.
Who would ever thought that the father of the bullied child was the famous cold blooded CEO of all time? And the CEO of the First Estrella Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in the city?
'' So you mean, he is also the owner of 'that' hotel?'' One of the guy uttered unbelievingly.
'' Yes. You're right about that.'' They heard Max confirmed.
'' Mr. Williams! Please forgive my wife and my children for their rude behaviors!'' The big woman's husband suddenly fell on his knees, his head touching the ground. '' Miss Alex, Young Miss... please forgive them!'' He was trembling. Well, who wouldn't? Knowing that your family had insulted your boss.
'' Hun! Apologized quicky if you still want to protect your children!'' The man cued his wife who was in daze. '' Apologize to my superior now!''
'' Eh? Your boss?'' The big woman went paler that ever before.
'' The verdict will not come to me though... so you should please my daughter ... and my wife instead...'' he blinked an eye at Alex who was totally speechless since a while ago. Alex rolled her eyes but even so, Ethan could see gratefullness behind it, could this be the start of something new? Ah, he's hoping.
