Chapter 774: I AM HAPPY FOR THEM

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

After leaving the room, Misha noticed that Mika’s facial expression looked unpleasant because she kept her small lips pursed.

But, the answer that Misha got was enough to surprise him when he asked her for one. He didn’t expect this little girl to think so.

Mika cupped Misha’s face with her little hands and muttered. “It would be nice if you were my father…” she said in a childish voice. “No one ever buys a nice dress for mommy.”

For Mika, seeing her mother wearing a beautiful dress and having someone buy it for her was a wonderful thing and she couldn’t help but feel happy, because she was happy that someone was paying attention to her mother.

“Oh, I’ll also be happy when you call me daddy,” Misha said while clearing his throat. He felt something get caught in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.

“Really?” Mika’s eyes widened in surprise and a very sweet smile tugged at the corners of her lips, which was so cute and it made Misha laugh, he felt her heart warm. A strange warmth because he had never felt this way before.

“Of course.” Misha nodded vigorously, but then he remembered Kia. He didn’t know what the woman’s reaction would be. “But, you can only call me that when it’s just the two of us, okay?”

Mika tilted her head and looked at Misha seriously. “So, it’s a secret, huh?”

Misha nodded. “Yeah, it’s a secret. Can you hold a secret?” he asked, looking at his little girl who then giggled and then bobbed her head.

“Okay,” she said in a low voice, whispering to emphasize that it was a secret.

“Good.” Misha nodded in agreement. “Try calling me ‘Daddy’.”

“Daddy!” Mika exclaimed in a loud voice, which made Misha widen his eyes. Didn’t they agree to keep this a secret? But, why was this little girl screaming so loudly?

But, on the other hand, Misha felt proud when he heard his daughter calling him right. His chest swelled with pride and if things weren’t like this, he would definitely boast about this to others and not stop talking about it.

“It’s a secret,” Misha said quietly, putting his finger to her lips and laughing at how cute Mika’s expression was when she realized her mistake.

But then they were both startled when they heard the sound of Kia’s bedroom door opening and there, the woman was standing in the dark red dress that perfectly matched her new hair color.

“Mommy! You look so beautiful!” Mika exclaimed while jumping down from Misha’s arms.

From the face that Kia made and the sharp look in her eyes, Misha knew that she heard when Mika called him ‘Daddy’ and instantly, he felt a little embarrassed because of being stared at like that.

However, this did not last long, because Kia was immediately distracted by Mika, who was gushing over her new dress.

“Mommy, you are beautiful like a princess from a kingdom,” Mika praised with her big eyes shining brightly.

“Thank you, honey,” Kia said as she crouched down and kissed Mika’s cheek.

“Come here, show this to aunt Keira and uncle Ben!” Mika exclaimed excitedly while tugging Kia’s hand.

However, Misha quickly blocked her. “Shall we try to see which hairdo fits this dress?” Misha persuaded.

There was no way in hell he would show Kia in this dress and look absolutely gorgeous on other men. He wouldn’t let that happen.

And luckily, their little girl could be easily distracted. She immediately nodded in agreement with what Misha suggested.

However, Kia could clearly see the manipulation that was being carried out by Misha, therefore, the man refused to look directly into her eyes and just pushed her into the room and immediately closed the door so that the two people in the living room were watching television would not pay any attention to them and interfere with this family event.

If only Kia could hear what was going through Misha’s mind right now, it was certain that she would flip out and glare at him even more fiercely.

But, for now, because Mika was very happy and Kia didn’t want to remove the smile on her little daughter’s lips, she kept quiet and didn’t chew out Misha, maybe later when she was alone with this man.

“So, what hairstyle suits Mommy?” Misha asked as he sat Kia down in front of her small dressing table.

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

Alia was treated for several days before she was finally allowed to go home and Daniel was the one to take her home because she would be discharged at night.

Daniel went straight to the hospital after his office hours, while his parents were preparing a welcoming party for Alia’s return home.

It was just a small party inviting some close relatives living in the same town.

However, something had been troubling Daniel for the past few days.

To this day, he still hadn’t seen Misha Tordoff. Every day he felt that the letter of dismissal from him was inevitable after what he had done when he boldly took the initiative to talk to Misha and also there was the relationship that the man had with Kia he had to think about.

But, even after a week had passed, nothing major had happened. Nothing actually changed either. So, he began to doubt his own fears.

Was it true that Kia wouldn’t exact revenge on her family by talking bad things about himself to Misha? She could have asked the man to fire him and she should have known that if he was fired from the company, this would disrupt the family’s economy and cost Alia’s treatment.

However, in fact what he feared did not happen and Daniel felt that everything was going very smoothly for him who had just argued with someone like Misha Tordoff.

Had Kia forgiven them?

It would have made more sense if Kia didn’t do those terrible things because she had forgiven them, but if she did forgive them, why didn’t she go home and reconnect with her family?

She also made no attempt to contact any of them and didn’t even ask about Alia’s condition at all.

Not once did Kia come to the hospital and visit Alia, even though she was her only sister and she knew very well how she was now.

Wouldn’t it be an exaggeration to say she had forgiven them all?

Why didn’t she take advantage of her position as Misha Tordoff’s woman? Or… why didn’t she return to her family?

“What are you thinking about Daniel?” asked Alia who came to him when Daniel was tidying his clothes and putting them in the suitcase. “You look like you’re thinking about something.”

Daniel turned his head and looked at his sister gently while shaking his head. “No, I’m not thinking about anything.”

But, of course Alia didn’t believe it. She frowned and pursed her lips as if to say that she would not buy that lie.

Seeing the expression on his sister’s face, Daniel smiled cheerfully.

“Why do you look so cute when you’re upset like this?” asked Daniel, pinching his sister’s cheek in exasperation.

Alia pouted and rubbed her cheek, but then she helped Daniel to tidy up his things.

“You don’t need to help, you should just lie down and rest.” Daniel took the shirt from Alia’s hands, but she insisted on helping.

“I’ve slept too long and too much, I don’t want to sleep anymore, my body aches from lying too much in the bed.” Alia then looked at this room one more time and then looked at Daniel worriedly. “Is it okay for me to stay in a room as good as this?”

Alia had been in and out of the hospital many times, therefore, she knew that this was not the type of room she usually stayed in and moreover she knew that they might not be able to afford this room for the few days she stayed here.

Their service was so extraordinary that it felt like Alia would feel at home here, but of course she would prefer to get well.

“It’s all right,” Daniel replied.

“Did you just get a raise so you can pay for a room like this? You don’t have to waste money on that,” Alia mumbled.

“I didn’t spend a dime, it is Mr. Tordoff who paid for everything,” Daniel replied in a low voice.

But, then he realized one more thing. That was right, this luxurious room was paid for by Mr. Tordoff. He bore all the costs.

If he wanted to, he could cut off all his favors and not have to do this. But, why did he have to do all this?

“Bro Daniel, what do you think is the relationship between Sis Kia and Mr. Tordoff? Are they in a relationship?” Alia asked as she stuffed her clothes into the suitcase, while Daniel was silent for a moment.

“Do you see it like that?” asked Daniel in a low voice.

“Of course, what would be the reason for Mr. Tordoff to help our family if it wasn’t for Kia?” said Alia innocently.

On the other hand, Daniel became quieter after hearing what Alia said. He had never thought like that before because he was constantly thinking negatively about Kia.

“What do you think if they were in a relationship?” asked Daniel curiously.

“I feel happy because someone is protecting Kia,” said Alia honestly. “There was no one to protect her back then when she was bullied.”

“Bullied?”
