When it was time to leave work, I went to Xin's office to take Little Lion. I had not been worried about him because I was sure he was fine.However, I tensed when I did not see either him or Xin. Where had they gone?“Um, Bella. Are you looking for Little Lion?“ Birdie asked when he walked into the office.I hurriedly nodded. “Do you have any idea where he is?“ I asked. “Yes, Boss left with him. He told me to tell you that you should not worry. Little Lion was safe,” Birdie explained.I sighed in relief, but I still felt a little angry. How could he take away my son without my permission? Still, I could not show my anger to Birdie. I smiled at him and thanked him.I immediately called Xin. I needed him to tell me where they were so that I could pick up my son.“Hello, Little Champ! Do you miss me?“ I heard his lively voice from the other side, and I almost chocked on my saliva.How could he still have the guts to joke when he had left with Little Lion?“Are you an adiot? Where is my

Xin was silent for some time. I also felt awkward with my own words. But I tried assuming that everything was okay.“Little Lion said that you were not seeing anyone,” he finally said. And I froze in my place. Little Lion had told him something like that the day he picked me up for work.I pursed my lips and looked back at him. “Because he is still a kid and doesn't know a lot of things,” I said. Xin did not have to know everything about me.He sighed and held my hand again. “Will you tell me the truth then? Are you seeing someone?“ He asked.I fell silent. I couldn't lie to him about that. But I still did not want to tell him that I wasn't dating. I forced a chuckle. “Why do you care so much? Whether I am dating or not, it has nothing to do with you.““I am sorry,” Xin said, and he began eating. Even though I didn't know why he was sorry, I was only confused by the fact that he could apologize. The man was always so full of himself.After dinner, he showed me the guest room, where I

Eze sighed and looked back at me. “And you just agreed to sleep in his house? Bella, tell me honestly, do you still love him?“ He asked.I was so shocked that I almost chocked on my saliva. I coughed awkwardly. “Love him? What are you talking about?“ I asked back. Did he know something?Eze sighed again. “Don't play dumb with me, Bella! I know who he is. He is Little Lion's dad, the man you had been married to five years ago..."“Stop!“ I shouted in fear. “Why do you care so much about my life? Didn't I tell you not to investigate me again?“ I asked angrily.I didn't like how he dug up information about me. Little Lion and Xin's relationship had been my secret for so long. Even my uncle and cousin did not know about it!Eze seemed startled at my words. “What? Are you getting mad at me because of him, Bella? Did you forget that he is the man who hurt you? What did he do to your company and your parents?““Eze!“ I called out sharply. “What is wrong with you? I asked you to stay out of m

I sighed and looked between the two of them. Xin had his hands in his pockets, and he was looking back at Eze so calmly.“Um, Little Lion needed someone to act as his dad,” I explained. I did not want Eze to have any misunderstandings.“What?“ Eze said. “Why did you go looking for a stranger when I was just around?“ He asked.I pursed my lips. Why was he making a big deal out of it? Xin had only offered to help. And also, he was the person the Little Lion had chosen. What was I supposed to do?“Hey, I am not a stranger to her. Little Lion wants me to be his…” Xin said it coldly. But I quickly shook my head to stop him from speaking.He rolled his eyes and held my hand. “We have to go back to work. Wasn't your leave supposed to be in the morning only?“I swallowed hard and nodded my head. “Eze, let us talk about this later on, okay?“ I said.We still had a lot to talk about. We had just met after he left angrily on Saturday. And I felt a little guilty that he did not know anything abou

When Xin returned to the office, he was in a pretty bad mood. The thought that Isabel was with that man was eating him up.And even after a few hours, the girl had not yet gone to work. He could not hold it in anymore.He summoned the HR manager to ask if Isabel had extended her off-hours. And when the answer was no, he felt more frustrated.He decided to call her. And he felt scared when he heard some struggles from the other side, as though she was fighting.But he felt his heart being sliced when he heard Eze's annoying voice. The two of them were together. And maybe they were doing some naughty things.The thought alone was enough to ruin his entire day. He was scared that maybe they had been doing all that stuff for the five years that they were together.What else could explain the movement on her end? Wait, was she also that kind of girl? Little Lion had said clearly that Eze was not his biological dad.He was surprised that even after threatening Isabel with her job, she did n
