Chapter 784: IT WAS A SIN
Chapter 784: IT WAS A SIN
Anthony saw the little girl behind Keira and immediately guessed that it was Kia’s child. The child she was carrying when her family told her to leave the house for embarrassing the family.
How could Amber think like that when she herself married Lyle when she was pregnant with Daniel?
Even then, their family had not abandoned her and given her the support she needed. And now when the same thing had happened to their daughter, why couldn’t they do the same?
“Is that Kia’s child?” asked Anthony. He felt very enthusiastic when he saw his niece’s child.
It was just that, Keira didn’t open the door for him and still had the safety chain on the door, so Anthony could only look at Mika through the small gap.
The little girl blinked her beautiful eyes while looking at him in confusion and walked over to Keira, who was still standing in the doorway.
“I’m closing the door, if you’re trying to find Kia, maybe you can come back in a few days,” said Keira, blocking Anthony’s view of Mika.
Keira didn’t know what to do and wasn’t sure if Kia wanted one of her family members to meet Mika, because Keira knew very well how strained her relationship with them was.
But Keira was also a little confused because Kia never discussed anything about a family member named Anthony.
==========================
“Finally, you’re awake,” Kia said in a relieved voice, while Misha rubbed his face and sleepy eyes, the sun shining so brightly hurt his eyes.
“What time is it?” Misha asked in a hoarse voice.
“It’s already half past eleven in the morning,” answered Kia.
Misha frowned, he then reached for his cell phone to look at the time on it, which read that it was indeed half past eleven in the morning.
How could he sleep so soundly and only wake up now? He wasn’t awake until this late and didn’t even realize Kia was already getting ready.
She looked very pretty in the yellow dress and cardigan he had prepared for her. She looked very cute even without any makeup.
“Why didn’t you wake me up?” asked Misha as he rubbed his face. He had slept for so long, but he was still sleepy. He felt like he wanted to pull Kia’s body and hug her, bury his face in the crook of her neck and fall back asleep again.
“I’ve been trying to wake you up since half an hour ago, but you’re sleeping so soundly.” Kia looked restless, as if she wanted to say something, but didn’t know how to start.
“What is it?” asked Misha, he stretched out his hand and stroked Kia’s cheek gently. “Why do you look agitated?”
There were actually two things that were making Kia uneasy right now, but one of them was more urgent than the other.
“While you were sleeping, your father came,” Kia explained, which made Misha’s gentle and sleepy expression instantly turn tense.
“You didn’t meet him, did you?” Misha frowned and from the expression Kia was showing right now, he immediately knew the answer.
“How can I ignore someone knocking on the door when I know it’s your father?” Kia said with a depressed expression.
“Of course you can ignore him, you can pretend to be asleep,” Misha said, resting his head on Kia’s shoulder naturally, as if he had done this many times, without noticing that Kia’s cheeks were blushing with his attitude.
“I can’t pretend to be asleep,” protested Kia. She scowled. Her guilt and bad feelings made her inevitably have to go and meet Lexus Tordoff.
“We don’t need to go meet them,” Misha said after a moment of silence.
“I haven’t said anything,” Kia said with a frown. “But yes, your father asked us to have breakfast together, but because you were still sleeping, I said I would wake you up and ask you to contact him.”
Of course Misha knew what was in Lexus’ mind. How could he not know about this?
In the beginning, when he was slightly interested in business, Lexus happily handed over all the responsibilities to him slowly and once he saw that Misha was reliable, he immediately retired early to spend time with his mother.
It really sucks to be that old man’s son…
“Of course you can’t do that,” Kia protested. She didn’t want to have any deeper ties with the Tordoffs as she wasn’t still sure how her relationship with Misha would turn out later, but it would be impolite to just ignore them.
“You want to meet them?” asked Misha. He raised his head and looked at Kia intently. “Looks like you’re getting ready to meet them.”
“I’m not getting ready to meet them, but I don’t want to walk around with a disheveled face while wearing a nightgown,” said Kia, actually she was a little self-conscious when she saw how beautiful and elegant the Tordoff family was, even the aura that emanated from them was so rich.
Because of that, Kia felt a little intimidated and didn’t want to look unrefined, even though this might look ridiculous in Misha’s eyes.
“So you want to meet them?” Misha asked again because Kia didn’t really answer his question earlier and this made Kia twitch restlessly.
“Not really…” she muttered under her breath. “But, I promised to have breakfast together, only now it seems too late for breakfast.” It was too late to be called breakfast.
“I would love it if you wanted to eat with my parents,” said Misha, leaning his body and stealing a kiss on Kia’s cheek which made the girl’s eyes widen.
“Don’t think anything weird, I am not meeting them because I wanted to get closer to them or something, I just feel bad because I already promised,” Kia dodged while moving away from Misha because she didn’t want him to kiss her again and also to hide her blushing face.
Kia was annoyed because this man could still give butterflies in her stomach and his charm was hard to resist. Wasn’t that a crime and a sin?
