Chapter 771: I AM THE FATHER

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

“A man of unknown origin?” For some reason, Misha felt very annoyed hearing those very ignorant words. He felt like a thug who had impregnated his naughty little sister.

“Kia even refused to reveal who the child’s father was. We’re sure she doesn’t remember herself.” Daniel frowned, he found it difficult to say this, but he remained firm with his original intention to warn Misha about what Kia had done.

“How about I tell you that I am the child’s father?” Misha said this calmly. He was uncomfortable with how Kia’s family viewed Mika as an unwanted child.

In addition to being angry at their family for treating Kia unfairly and throwing her away when she needed support, he was even more angry when they looked down on his daughter like that.

Misha held back his anger and thought clearly when they wronged Kia, but when it came to Mika, it seemed he no longer had any reason to hold back.

On the other hand, for a moment, Daniel did not understand what Misha said. He could only repeat the sentence over and over in his head.

“No…” he mumbled. “You must be joking about this, right? Maybe now you do love Kia’s daughter, but she is not your child.”

She’s not your child…

Those words brought Misha’s anger to the surface all of a sudden. Didn’t he see that he was so similar to Mika? How could he say that the cute little girl wasn’t his child?! This is an insult!

“She is my daughter,” Misha said, emphasizing every word in his sentence.

“I know you love the girl, but you shouldn’t think like that. The father of the child is a man of unknown origin that Kia met four years ago, I’m even sure that she herself doesn’t know who the man is so she didn’t tell her family,” said Daniel with certainty in his voice.

Hearing his words being twisted left and right, made Misha very upset. He wanted to scream in his face that he was the man of unknown origin that he was talking about!

Misha didn’t really understand why Kia didn’t tell them about their relationship, although it would have made things much better if they knew who the father of the baby was.

“Go away,” Misha said. He felt like he wanted to beat up Daniel and if he said one more word to insult his little daughter, he might really lose control and beat the guy up.

How dare he say that about his sweet little daughter. He really wanted to get beaten up, didn’t he?

“But, Mr. Tordoff…” said Daniel, he was trying to hang in there and get information about where Kia was and where she lived now.

“Leave.” It was just one word, but it sounded very cold and dangerous.

Hearing that, Daniel could feel a sense of trepidation and when he saw the look in Misha’s eyes right then, he immediately stood up and couldn’t say anything more than to resign himself from there.

He failed to know where Kia was and became annoyed with himself.

=======================

“What are you doing here?” Kia asked, her sharp eyes fixed on Misha, because she found the man was eating at the restaurant where she worked.

“I am here to eat lunch,” Misha replied with no guilt at all. He then accepted the plate of food that Kia served him.

“As far as I know, the Tordoff Company is far from this place, there’s no way there isn’t a restaurant you can go to.” Kia pointed out, putting down his drink.

“You’re wrong,” said Misha, smiling slyly at Kia. “The Tordoff Company’s branches are everywhere in the city, so you shouldn’t be surprised about that. I have a branch office just two blocks from here.”

“Are you showing off your wealth?” Just this morning they got along a bit and Kia even told him when he could pick her up, but who would have thought that this guy would actually show up two hours earlier than the promised time?

“Of course not,” Misha smirked. “I’m just in a bad mood and seeing you makes me feel better.”

Kia was shocked when she heard those words. She blinked for a moment. “Who taught you such cheesy lines? It doesn’t fit your character at all.” Kia shuddered and then quickly left before Misha answered the rhetorical question.

Well, Misha couldn’t say that Dania had been teaching him how to act in front of her and had become less rigid in front of women.

Seeing how Kia shuddered when she heard what he said, maybe the effect of the words Dania taught wasn’t quite what he expected, but he was quite happy that the girl seemed to be showing more of a side of herself and wasn’t always pushing him away now.

And after that, Misha spent two hours finishing his work on his laptop while waiting for Kia’s shift to end. He didn’t bother Kia and just sat there quietly.

“Who is that handsome man?” asked Nadia, whispering to Kia. She saw how the two of them interacted with each other earlier. “His face seems a bit familiar. Is he a celebrity?”

Not many people followed business news around this place, so even if they felt Misha’s face was familiar, their assumptions would be the same as Nadia’s.

“You know him?” asked Nadia, she glanced back at Misha with hopeful eyes. “He is very handsome. Do you know him? Is he your lover?”

Kia waved her hand. She didn’t really like gossiping with Nadia and wished she would stay away from herself.

“Yes, I know him, but I’m just getting to know him.” Kia then got ready to end her shift after stocking up all the equipment for the next shift, while Nadia was still following her like a headless chicken.

“You know him? Do you really know him? Can you introduce him to me?” asked Nadia excitedly. She didn’t even help Kia because she was so excited. Her shift would end at the same time as Kia’s, so she kept asking Kia to introduce the two of them. “Is he a rich man?”

“Yes,” replied Kia lazily while checking the stock up and after everything was done, she stood up and walked to the employee room to change clothes, while Nadia didn’t let go at all.

“Introduce me to him, okay?” Nadia whined like a child, even though she was two years older than Kia, her behavior now would even remind you of a five year old child.

“I can’t,” Kia said directly, she then took off her uniform and put it in the locker, Nadia did the same. She did it fast so she didn’t lose Kia.

“Why can you not?” asked Nadia with a disappointed expression, she looked at Kia expectantly. “Please, I promise I will do anything for you.”

“I can’t,” Kia repeated again, this time her voice was firmer than before.

“But, why can’t you?” Nadia continued to hound Kia with the same question and looked at the girl with pleading eyes.

Why can’t I?

Kia was also asking herself the same question. Why couldn’t she? She and Misha didn’t have any relationship, did they?

So why didn’t she just let it go?

“Because…” Kia furrowed her brows deeply. She was trying hard to think of a good reason, but suddenly her mind was stuck and she couldn’t make up anything. “Because he’s mine.”

The words came out of nowhere and Kia immediately closed her eyes, regretting what she had just said.

“What do you mean ‘he’s yours’?” asked Nadia in a voice that sounded doubtful and then she hit Kia’s back in a friendly manner. “You’re not serious about what you’re saying, are you? What do you mean by yours? Why don’t you say he’s your boyfriend or something, instead of saying he’s yours.”

On the other hand, Kia was still in shock from what she just said, so she didn’t respond to anything Nadia said after that. She just wanted to get out of there and tell Misha not to come to her work place like this again.

After Kia had finished changing, she then went out to where Misha was sitting, waiting for her shift to end at the same table. In front of him, was a meal and a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, while he was on the phone.

But, when he saw Kia coming, he waved his hand and asked Kia to sit across from him before pushing the plate and glass in front of her.

“Eat, I saw you worked too hard earlier, you must be hungry,” said Misha attentively, while he put on hold whoever was on the line with him now.

Because after saying this, Misha immediately continued speaking seriously to the person on the phone, so Kia couldn’t refuse it and ate the food that had been ordered by Misha while she was changing clothes.

From behind her, Kia could feel that many pairs of eyes were looking at her questioningly, they must be just as curious as Nadia.

“Hha…” Kia sighed tiredly. She was displeased with the situation, but Misha took this in a different way as he soon ended his conversation with whoever was on the phone and immediately gave his full attention to Kia.

“What is it? Are you very tired? Don’t you like the food?” Misha then held Kia’s hand.

Seeing that Kia didn’t say anything, Misha stood up from his seat and then pressed his knuckles to Kia’s forehead to check her temperature.

“Are you sick?”
