I licked my lips and chuckled. “I am not a child anymore. I can do that on my own,” I said, and looked at the plate of food on the table. I had just taken milk since I ate yesterday in the morning. I was still so hungry.Dave chuckled. “To me, you will just be a tiny little girl,” he said and handed me the plate. “Here, unless you eat more and get some meat.“I chuckled again, but began eating with relish. I felt like someone who had never eaten since they were born!…After breakfast, Dave left for the company. He told me that I could call him when I needed anything. Zack was also not in the house, so, I felt a little relaxed.After staying in the room for a long time, I felt like I needed to take a walk outside. Auntie Benta showed me the backyard and told me that I could relax there if I wanted to.“The backyard is nice. It makes you relaxed,” she said with a warm smile. “Take a walk around, I will call you when lunch is ready.“I nodded in appreciation. “Thank you, Auntie,” I said

Dave held my hand and chuckled. “You think so?“ He asked teasingly. But I could feel like he was holding back some pain. “Stop talking too much!“ I said and began pulling his drawers. “What medicine do you take for that?“ I asked. It seemed like Becky was right all along. This man was allergic to sea food. But why was he so stupid to eat the shrimp? He should have turned it down.“Stop throwing things around,” Dave said, and and opened a different drawer. “I don't want my room as messy as yours is always…”I rolled my eyes as he took out two little boxes. He opened the first one and took a tablet, which he swallowed with some water.He opened the second one. It was a cream tube. I guess he was supposed to apply it to himself. But he creased his brows before returning it to the drawer.I raised my brows at him. “What are you doing? Aren't you supposed to apply that too?“ I asked. “Wait, don't tell me that you are scared because it might be itchy…”Dave chuckled again. “Why do you lik

For a moment, Fortune stood in place, thinking that his ears were playing a trick on him. But seeing his boss look at him, he realized that he might have heard it right.He opened his eyes wide as he looked at the man on the seat. “Boss? Why are you asking about this? Ah! Wait… don't tell me that you kissed a girl! Who is she? Is she beautiful?“ He talked hurriedly, trying to understand what could be going through his boss's head.Dave sighed. “Why are you talking so much? I only asked a question. And I did not say that I did anything…” he retorted. How could he just tell his assistant that he had kissed that young girl, who was his little sister?Fortune cleared his throat. “Boss, I am not bluffing. I just thought that I needed to know the relationship between the two of you to decide what it could mean…”Dave's expression turned cold as he looked at Fortune. “Don't think that I am a little kid that you could trick, Fortune!“ He roared. He knew that his assistant just wanted to know

I heard him chuckle behind me, and I furrowed my brows. “You came in when I was still dressing, Little sister. That could never be my fault!“ he said. Luckily, I could hear him opening the closet. “You are just shameless,” I said with a sigh. But I made a mental note to knock on his door in the future before walking in. What if he did not have the towel around his waist?Dave chuckled again before walking towards the bed. “You can uncover your eyes now, Little one,” he said, his voice teaseful. But I could not just trust him like that.I peeped at him through the opening between my fingers and only uncovered my face when I confirmed that he was actually dressed up.“Come here…” he said and patted the space next to him on the bed. He wrapped his hands around me the moment I sat down.And I could only sigh. “Your actions sometimes are scary,” I told him, but allowed him to hold onto me.He smelled so nice. I even wanted to ask him the kind of soap he used. But I shook that idea out of

I saw him pause in his steps, and I trembled even more. I stole a look at Dave, and he nodded his head at me, encouraging me to go on.“Dad… I am…” I wanted to apologize to him. I had been so rude by refusing to talk to him, right? But his expression made me nervous.I could not tell what was going through his mind. All I knew was that he looked something between shocked and scared. His gaze was focused on me as he took a step towards me.“What did you call me?“ He asked, his voice trembling. I even thought that he was mad at me. Could it be that Dave was lying to me?“I am sorry. I should not have given you the cold shoulder…” I decided to go on with what I had planned in my head.But the man stopped beside me on the table and looked at me. “Can you call me that again?“ He asked. He sounded like someone who was begging. And my heart ached for him. He was childless from the beginning. He must have longed to have a child.Even though I felt embarrassed, I looked back at him and opened
