Chapter 824: ALIA IS WAITING FOR HIM

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Misha didn’t expect that they would come to his workplace. Especially Daniel, shouldn’t he be working at this hour? And his office was an hour’s drive from headquarters, how could he be here now?

“I think this is work time for you,” Misha said, pinning Daniel with an impassive gaze and Amber flinched involuntarily hearing the cold tone Misha used.

But, Daniel didn’t seem too affected by it. He looked directly into Misha’s eyes calmly, like he had prepared himself well for this moment. He didn’t look panicked at all.

“I have asked permission not to come to work today, in order to come here with my parents and also my sister,” said Daniel in a low and calm voice. “I hope you can understand this.”

Actually, Daniel didn’t want to bring Alia to this place. It was just that she insisted after she heard what the people sent by Misha wanted from them. She wanted to just give them her medical history.

It was just that Daniel and his parents saw this as an opportunity for them to talk directly to Kia, because after all, Kia needed the medical history to help her child. She definitely wouldn’t refuse.

Kia would definitely understand after she talked to her parents, to her family directly, therefore, even though they knew that this was the wrong thing to do, they still went for it.

Because they thought this was their only chance, even though Alia didn’t agree with the plan and asked them to back off and leave Kia alone.

Her older sister was having a hard time with her daughter. How could they make such a request?

Only, being the youngest child in the house, of course her words meant little to them and here they were now, facing Misha Tordoff.

On the other hand, Misha didn’t say anything when he heard that. He just wanted this meeting to end soon.

“So? What do you want to say?” Misha asked, his eyes sweeping over Amber and Lyle and then Daniel and Alia, who looked down as they felt intimidated by the man.

The man in front of them looked scary. Alia wondered how Kia could put up with a cold man like him.

“We are here to submit Alia’s medical history as you have requested through your secretary,” Lyle said. He took over the conversation since he was the head of the family, while his wife looked at Misha expectantly.

“But?” Misha got straight to the point, as he didn’t want the conversation to circle around roundabouts and trivialities.

There was no way they had just come to hand it over, when they could hand it over to the person Misha had sent.

Lyle knew that he couldn’t buy time with Misha and thus, speaking directly to him was for the best.

“We know that this is very inappropriate.” Misha snorted when he heard that, but Lyle continued his words. “However, we are very desperate to be able to meet with Kia. We don’t know how we can meet her anymore.”

Amber then added. “It’s not the right time to be doing this, but we love Kia very much and what happened can still be straightened out, we just need to talk to her.”

For a moment, Misha didn’t say anything, which turned the atmosphere in the room awkward and also made them all fall silent. They were waiting to see how Misha would react to the request.

“You know that you are very shameless and evil people, right?” said Misha at the end, after a long moment of silence.

Amber started to sob when she heard this. Lyle could only lower his head while Daniel clenched his fists.

He couldn’t answer that harshly, because he had to think about his career. He was indeed trying to apply to other companies, but none of them could offer the same benefits as that offered by the Tordoff company and if he had to change companies, it would be a setback in his career.

“We know that we have been wrong in handling this matter, but Kia doesn’t give us a chance to talk and explain, she always avoids us when we want to talk about this matter,” Lyle said in a low voice, he then raised his head and looked at Misha. “Let us talk and we’ll give you Alia’s medical history.”

Misha narrowed his eyes when he heard that. “Are you threatening me?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.

Lyle immediately shook his head. “Of course not, it’s just a request.”

“What if I told you you couldn’t meet her?” Misha looked directly into Lyle’s eyes.

“That…” Lyle never thought that Misha would ask such a question, because he imagined that Misha would immediately agree to this plan.

“Aren’t you guys going to give me that medical history?” asked Misha.

However, even before they answered, it seemed Misha already knew what was going through their minds, considering how they lowered their heads and struggled to come up with an answer.

It looked like their first plan didn’t go well and it was time to move on to the second plan without waiting any longer.

“See? Now you can see for yourself why I called you bad people?” Misha smiled harmlessly.

“We… we just wanted to talk to Kia for a bit and clear up some misunderstandings.” Lyle tried to find an excuse. “Kia always avoids us whenever we want to talk to her, so we have to properly straighten this out.”

“Avoids? Maybe she didn’t shy away, but really doesn’t want to see you guys anymore. Don’t you think so?”

“At least, give us a chance to explain.”

“You have four years, you have four years to get the opportunity, but why only now?” Misha asked in a cold voice.

“We know that you are in a relationship with Kia and are very worried about the well-being of her child, but both of Kia’s parents have the right to meet their grandchild.” This time it was Daniel who spoke up.

“What rights do you have after you kicked her out four years ago? You are talking about rights now?” Misha then leaned in. “If you think you have the right to meet Kia and Mika, then you are very delusional.”

“Mr. Tordoff, this is our family matter, Kia is our daughter and Mika is our granddaughter,” said Amber, “so please allow us to resolve this issue as a family.”

“I am Mika’s father, I have more right to decide this.”

They all fell silent, even Alia raised her head and looked at Misha in disbelief, because they thought that Misha had only been with Kia these past few months.

“You mean you adopted Mika?” asked Daniel carefully, he frowned when he heard that answer, because he still couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

“I am Mika’s biological father, we were together four years ago and Mika is my daughter,” said Misha, which made their eyes widen.

Lyle and Amber opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but they had no words left to say, because their shock was too great.

“No way…” they said in a low voice.

“Then why did you leave Kia when she was pregnant?” asked Daniel. His eyes looked much sharper. It seemed he found an opening to attack Misha and Misha had to admit that this young man was quite smart and could read the situation well and then strategies accordingly.

The reason Misha recruited Daniel was because he wanted to know about Kia and also because he was a smart man and fit the criteria for the position he got.

“I didn’t know she was pregnant. She had left your house and we broke up before finding out she was pregnant.” And that was exactly what happened.

Didn’t Misha’s betrayal automatically end their relationship right then and there?

“No way… you guys were together four years ago?”

“Haven’t you heard that Kia had a few weeks of internship at Tordoff’s company?”

Lyle, Amber and Daniel said that Kia never said anything about it.

“Maybe she didn’t say it, because you wouldn’t care, or she did say it, but you didn’t care.” Misha looked at them one by one. “Whatever it is, it looks like you guys are long used to ignoring Kia.”

Alia stared at Misha for a bit longer, before she lowered her head again and didn’t say anything, she fell silent again.

“So, you guys can go now,” Misha said, he then stood up and motioned for them to leave his room. “I still have a meeting I need to attend, so if you guys can’t help save my daughter, you can go and not waste my time.”

And after that, the four of them left without being able to say anything, it seemed the fact that Misha Tordoff was the father of the child Kia was carrying at that time was really surprising and now they were still trying to process it.

But, before Alia walked out, she gave Misha a quick glance and their eyes met.

Misha felt that there was something Alia wanted to say, but she couldn’t because her parents and brother were there.

But, Misha didn’t think much about it, it was just that his hunch proved to be right, because when he was about to head home from work, he found that Alia was waiting for him in the lobby.

Richard came into his office as he was about to rush home after finishing the day’s work. He was going straight to the hospital after he asked someone to prepare a change of clothes and bring them to the hospital, as well as Kia’s clothes.

“Alia is in the lobby, she said she wants to talk to you.”
