Chapter 8: Ch. 8 Acting Daughter

A lovely little girl came to the airport with her mother. Her mother was an Asian lady with black hair and eyes, but this girl was nothing like her mother.

She had marigold hair and two different eyes. One was green, while the latter was purple. This girl had a heterochromia disorder which had two different eye colors.

The unique eyes and thick wavy hair framing her cute doll-like face captivated everyone. There would be no exception for child traffickers who come to the airport looking for their next target.

They have been eyeing this child since the girl came along with her nanny, without knowing the nanny was the girl’s birth mother.

Of course, they would never know, considering the nanny had this distinctive young Asian girl living here as a nanny of someone wealthy.

That’s why they believed the woman carrying the child would be unable to do anything if the girl disappeared from the nanny’s side.

They waited for a chance. When the nanny was too preoccupied with the crowds, the kidnapper made a move. Some rushed into the crowd, making the nanny accidentally let go of the little girl’s hand.

.....

As a result, they managed to separate the girl from her guardian and lead the girl outside the crowd.

“Mama? Mama!” cried the girl while looking for the figure of her mother.

“Hey little girl, I saw your mother there.” stated someone in common language.

The girl deliberately wanted to be reunited with her mother, so she let the stranger hold her and lead her the way.

This time the kidnapper got the wrong child, as the little girl was not your ordinary kid. Even though she had just turned three this year, she possessed intelligence that other children her age did not have.

The little girl immediately knew something was wrong with this stranger, and her suspicions grew stronger when she saw him heading toward an unfamiliar car.

In a single smack of force, the child freed herself from the man’s hold and then turned and ran back to where she had separated from her mother.

Alas, her feet were so tiny that in just a few steps, the bad guy had picked her up and trapped her, making the child scream in fright.

“NOOO!!!! Let me go! Mamaaaaaaaa!!” shouted the child as loudly as she could while kicking the belly of the person who was carrying her.

“Mamaaaaa!” Once again, the child screamed with all her might while in tears. She even grabbed the hair of the person who was about to kidnap her hoping this guy would drop her. But this man’s hold was firm and wholly ignored the pain in his head.

The man clasped her tiny mouth in a tight and rough manner, hurting her.

“Hey, that’s not how you treat a girl.” suddenly, a low and firm voice attracts both the girl and the bad guy.

The girl didn’t waste this opportunity and immediately moved her body frantically like a hurricane to escape. His sling began to sag, making the girl even more excited to struggle. And as soon as her feet hit the ground, she dashed in vain as her captor grabbed her hand.

“It seems she is looking for her mother more. Let the girl go.” said another person who had come along with the low-voiced person earlier.

“Mind your own business. She is my daughter.”

Well, if the man said so...

“NO! You’re not my father! I don’t know you!”

The girl’s protest brought a shock to the three men, especially the one who was about to kidnap her. When he was about to kidnap the child, he heard this girl always speaking the common language with her nanny, so he never expected the girl could speak this country’s tongue!

When Kendrich and Richard came to them, they talked in German while the girl was constantly struggling in English. They were quite surprised to hear that the girl understood their conversation and replied in another language.

“That kid already said it, dude. Let her go, or you’ll regret it.” there was a dangerous and threatening aura from Richard that made the kidnapper gulp.

The girl also felt goosebumps when she heard the terrifying cold voice. She sneaked a glance at Richard, and her mouth opened as soon as she saw a handsome princely man standing in all his glory.

His light brown hair stood out in the sun. His eyes were charismatic yet intimidating when the prince-like man sent a deadly glare at her captor. His nose was sharp and firm. Above all, this man was like a prince on a white horse like she often heard in a fairy tale.

This guy is so handsome! Right then and there, she decided to make this man her father!

“Daddy!” the girl directly sprinted to Richard and hugged one of Richard’s legs while looking at her ‘father’ with a pitiful look. “Daddy, where have you been? Do you know mama and Lori have been waiting for you for a long time?”

Richard felt like throwing up blood hearing this girl’s absurd words. On the other hand, Kendrich coughed as he choked on his saliva.

Since when did Richard have a daughter? That man doesn’t even have any lover!

Surely, if there weren’t any ‘kidnappers’ standing in front of them, Richard would have taken this child to the information center to find the girl’s parents. But because they are dealing with a child ‘kidnapper,’ Richard decides to follow this child charade.

“I’m sorry, baby girl. I just arrived today and had not told you and your mom. It wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you girls in advance, right?” said Richard gently after kneeling on one knee to look straight at his acting daughter.

“Did you ever miss mama and me?”

“Of course, I did. I’m here, now, aren’t I? I want to make up for the time we lost with you guys. Do you forgive me?”

Lori smiled broadly at that and nodded enthusiastically. In contrast, Kendrich gawked to hear his cousin was too serious in his role.

“So,” Richard stood up and glared at the child ‘kidnapper’ who had frozen in place. “Are you waiting for me to call the police for claiming my daughter to be yours?”

Without being asked twice, the person immediately ran away from them past the neatly parked cars. No one noticed someone standing in one of the cars watching and listening to all of their interactions.
