Chapter 420 - TWO YEARS OLD

"Ka… ce…" 

A big man was sitting on the grass with a little girl, blinking her eyes and tilting her head as she listened to him. 

"Ka… ce…" Kace reiterated his name, moved his lips exaggeratedly as he tried to make the baby followed his lead, but Hope just stared blankly at him and frowned. "Kace. Said my name baby." 

The big lycan was almost crying to teach his little mate to say his name. He had spent two hours just by doing this. 

"Don't be ridiculous, you idiot." Serefina's words were a mocking taunt for the Lycan's effort. "You should stop it."

"Why?" Kace whined in frustration. "She could say your name and Lana, but why she couldn't say my name?"

"Because you just meet her again and she is still confused with you." Serefina grumbled. 

The witch was sitting on the chair near at the terrace of her backyard house, where Kace was trying to teach the poor little girl to call his name. 

"Give it up. She will call you if she wants." Serefina added, drinking something from her tacky yellow glass. 

"But, why?" Kace howled childishly as he watched Hope walked away from him and raised her arms, asking to be carried when she saw Lana was approaching them. 

To be ignored like this… It was so painful…

"I think she forgets about you." Lana picked Hope up and carried her as the little girl buried her face on the crook of the girl's neck.

Lana looked slightly older than the last time Kace was there, not only that, she would definitely grow into a beautiful woman someday. 

But of course the Lycan didn't realize it because all of his focus was on his little Hope. 

Even now, he was burned with jealousy when Lana could be so close to Hope and made the little girl walked toward her for protection, instead of him and it was very annoying to see…

"How she can forget about me? I had bought all of those things so she could remember me…" Kace wailed and then he snapped his head toward Serefina, staring in accusation at her. "Did you spell her? To forget about me?"

Serefina rolled her eyes upon that absurd idea of his. "I don't have time for that." She said matter of factly. 

Lana threw a disdain look to the witch. What a pathetic excuse that she spewed. Serefina was literally, absolutely, had neglected her responsibility on taking care of Hope. 

If Lana wasn't there, she couldn't imagine how the baby would survive under that ignorance woman care. 

"Baby… why are you forgetting meeee….?" Kace wailed in despair, he rose to his feet and trudged toward Hope, but his expression made Hope startled and buried her little face on the crook of Lana's shoulder. "Huhuhuhu… my baby is forgetting me…"

"Shut up Kace!" Serefina snapped, annoyed by the wailing sound that the big guy produced. It didn't suit him at all!

Seeing the situation had turned like this, Lana took a deep breath. She thought, she was the one who would be so immature in this small group of weird people, yet, as it turned out, she was the one who mature enough to handle the situation. 

Especially, when the witch did nothing except yelling at the overgrown Lycan, who acted childishly upon the rejection of two years old toddler. 

"You can't startle her like that." Lana explained, trying to make the Lycan stopped wailing and pouting, as he looked at her in jealousy. 

"So, what shoud I dooooo?" Kace stared at the back of Hope's head as she clutched onto Lana's neck for dear life, just like a baby panda. 

He wanted in Lana position. 

"Let's get inside first." Lana led the way to go back to their house with Kace in tow, following her eagerly. 

Meanwhile, before the three of them entered the house, Serefina shouted. "I will go for awhile and return tomorrow," She locked her eyes on Kace as she added. "When I come back, I want you to leave this house."

Kace scoffed and let out a deep growl upon that harsh comment, "she forget about me, maybe I should stay longer here." 

"Well, it's alright. But, when your dear friend come to visit, I hope you know what you should do." Serefina shrugged her shoulder nonchalantly. 

"I have distracted them far away from this place." Kace retorted. "It will be fine if I stay for another one or two days."

He had tried to bring those chaser and hunter away, so far from this place and yet, he just had a day to be together with Hope?!

Serefina wouldn't know how much Kace missed his baby girl!

However, when he was here, his baby girl forgot about him! 

Ugh!

How ironic was that?

"Fine. If you really wanted to risk her life, I am good with that." Serefina's comment hit the right spot, as he couldn't find a word to rebuke her. 

Grumpily, the Lycan walked inside and slammed the door shut. He didn't say anything when he followed Lana and Hope into the house. 

Lana led him into another room that apparently was decorated as playground for Hope. There were many toys there and most of them were the toys that Kace would send here occasionally. 

Hope took a doll that as big as herself, it was a customized white wolf doll that Kace sent it here eight months ago, so she would remember him. 

"That is her favorite." Lana explained.

That explanation made the certain lycan beamed in happiness, washed away all the sorrow that he felt earlier.

Kace approached Hope carefully and sat down in front of her. "Do you like it?" His voice was very gentle and drew Hope's attention toward him.

She blinked and nodded her head, hugging her white wolf doll close to her. 

"May I know what is it?" Kace caressed her soft black hair as the white pendant shone under the sunlight. 

Hope grinned and answered his question. "Wuulf."
