Chapter 74

74 Ch. 74 Anxia Is Sulking

Richard wanted to laugh out loud at his daughter’s excited, bombarded inquiries, but when Anxia glared at him furiously, Richard clamped his mouth tight. Unfortunately, he failed to hide the amused smile, making Anxia want to sew up the man’s lips.

“Maybe we have to wait for next year,” replied Richard, still trying to hold back his laughter, let alone seeing his wife’s furious face but instead, she looked blushing.

Aiya, his wife was so adorable when she blushed like this.

“Awww... Next year? Why not now?”

Richard ruffled his daughter’s hair playfully while Anxia pouted as if she didn’t get enchanted by her daughter’s deathly adorable expression.

Is it possible to give birth to a baby in one day? Anxia grumbled inwardly.

Anxia was irritated not only with her daughter but also with her husband. That day she decided not to talk to anyone. Not even her daughter!

Richard tried to embrace his wife again, but his hand was pushed back roughly. The girl didn’t even want to look at him and looked in the opposite direction.

Richard tried to get his wife’s attention by gently patting the girl’s petite shoulder, but Anxia didn’t respond. His wife acted as if she was sitting alone there enjoying the view of the sea and the lovely cool beach breeze.

.....

Ah, his wife sulked.

“Mommy?” Lori deliberately called her mother in the sweetest tone possible, but Anxia knew her daughter’s acting talent very well, so she didn’t fall into her daughter’s trap.

Realizing that she couldn’t soften her mother’s heart, Lori looked at her father with a pitiful gaze.

Richard bent his body slightly to whisper to his daughter. Anxia had seen the subtle movements of her husband as if the man was telling their daughter something secret. This made her curious, but not enough to melt her heart.

As soon as he finished whispering something ‘secret’ to Lori, Richard smiled broadly at Lori, who nodded enthusiastically.

“Calydta, can you accompany my daughter to play for a while?”

“Yes, sir.” Calydta immediately approached Lori to replace Richard’s position to help Lori hold the spool of thread which sometimes vibrated because it was attracted by kites flying in the wind.

Anxia took a glance to see what this person called Calydta looked like. But she hastily averted her gaze as Richard watched her expression.

She did feel curious and wanted to talk to Calydta about everything the head maid had told her daughter, but she insisted she didn’t want to see her husband.

Richard chuckled at Anxia’s adorable behavior.

After making sure Lori could play freely with Calydta and the butler he trusted, Richard took Anxia for a walk.

Anxia squirmed to escape from her husband’s grasp, but for some reason, her strength was much weaker than that man’s.

“Let go, let go of my hand,” Anxia finally voiced her objection wishing Richard would let go of her hand. But what came out of the man’s mouth left her speechless.

“Don’t wanna. Bleh.” Richard stuck his tongue out like a child mocking the adults and then pulled her hand, and they ran without warning.

Since when could this man act like a child? Wasn’t this fellow just as sullen and fussy as a girl yesterday?

Not finished digesting what was on her mind, suddenly, she felt wet from her feet. As her eyes shifted forward, Anxia saw the ocean waves coming towards them and hitting them almost in half, making their clothes drenched.

Not only was Anxia wet, but Richard, who was also standing beside her, was also wet, and now he was laughing crisply as if he enjoyed the incoming sea waves.

“You... How dare you!” no one knew when Richard’s laughter infected her heart and made her want to play in the water.

Anxia splashed the water at Richard with both palms, and Richard did the same. The two of them were now laughing like a young couple having a date by the beach.

Lori, standing some distance from the beach and still flying a kite on the dry sand, heard laughter from her parents. Suddenly she was no longer interested in flying a kite but wanted to see her parents laughing together.

“Caly, hurry up. Take their photo! I want to show it to Oma Meisya.”

Calydta laughed in amusement at this cute adorable child’s request and immediately reached for her phone to comply with the girl’s request. Skillfully, Cayldta took lots of good photos and recorded a video of her two employers together.

Lori’s purple-green eyes twinkled when she saw Richard carrying Anxia in his arm, walking further forward, making her mother scream while laughing with Richard.

Ah, how wonderful it is to see her parents getting along like this.

All this time, she did not know who her father was and never felt the love of a father. Now she meets Richard, her biological father, but her mother always tries to drive him away.

It seemed Lori had no other requests other than to see her parents living together and having fun like this.

“Young lady, you don’t want to join your parents?”

“May I join? But I don’t want to bother them.” Lori was eager to join her parents. Playing in the water like his mom and dad is so much fun.

But at the same time, she doesn’t want to interrupt their lovely time. It was rare for her to see her parents get along like this. Ah, if only she had a brother. If she had a baby brother, she would never interrupt her parents’ date and would play with her brother instead.

“I’m sure they will also be happy to play with you.”

“LORI!!”

Lori looked up to see her father waving at her. Lori smiled broadly and immediately handed the kite string spool to Calydta. Then she rose to her feet and ran on her tiny feet to catch up with her parents.

Calydta recorded how Lori ran, which looked very cute, and her mouth filled with a warm smile when she saw Richard holding Lori and lifting her high, creating amused laughter from the sweet child.

What a happy family they had.
