Chapter 10

Daddy?

Sean paused.

Tony was stunned too.

‘How did he become somebody’s daddy right after he went downstairs for a meal?’

The elevator door shut and went up slowly.

Both of them looked at the little girl strangely.

Sean frowned and spoke up when he saw that the little girl was not taking her hands off. His voice was deep and nonchalant as he said, “Kid, you got the wrong person. I’m not your daddy!”

Claudia lifted her head up and looked at Sean upon hearing what he said. Her eyes had a sharp contrast of white and black, and they were clear and bright. She tilted her head and blinked her eyes as if she was confused.

Her eyes turned red the next second, and she said, “I... I didn’t get the wrong person. You are my daddy. I’m sure that you are my daddy!”

Her tiny hands grabbed onto Sean’s trousers, and she showed no intention of letting go. “Daddy, why won’t you admit that I’m your daughter? Is it because I’m naughty? I promise I’ll be good. Please don’t disown me!”

The little kid sounded pitiful while she said it in a piteous voice. Her tears were rolling in her eyes, and it was just heartbreaking to look at.

Tony spoke immediately, “Did this kid wander off? Has she mistaken you for her father?”

Sean knew what Tony was trying to say since it was obvious.

However, he needed to explain himself even though this little girl had mistaken him for her dad!

There’s no way that he would just admit it oddly like this.

“Kid, you’ve really got the wrong person. I’m not your daddy! Did you get lost? Do you remember which room you were staying in? I’ll get somebody to send you back.”

Sean looked downward and calmed her. It was rare for him to be so patient.

Claudia shook her head with a firm look on her face as she insisted, “I didn’t get the wrong person. You are my daddy! How could I get the wrong person? Daddy, please don’t chase me away. Are you going to abandon me? Waaah... Please don’t do that! My mommy went out, and I don’t know where my room is.”

Tony immediately arched his brows when he heard this.

‘Is giving birth to a child just a joke to people nowadays?

‘Is that what a mother is supposed to do?!

‘How could she go out and leave a child alone in the hotel?

‘What if something bad happened?

‘She’s too bold!’

“Little girl, do you remember your mother’s phone number?” Tony asked.

Claudia shook her head. She knew nothing at all. “I don’t know. I don’t remember...”

Tony was stumped!

He looked at Sean and let him make his decision.

Sean’s gaze fell on the little kid, and he said flatly, “Get up first. We’ve reached our floor.”

Claudia pouted and stood up reluctantly.

Tony pushed Sean out of the elevator.

The little girl followed helplessly and said softly. “Daddy...”

Sean frowned and looked at the little kid for a while. He had no choice but to order Tony, saying, “Let’s bring her back first and go find out where her parents are!”

They must’ve been the guests in this hotel since she could get in here.

They could be identified easily just by asking the receptionist.

“Yes!”

Tony followed his order and sent them back very quickly. He then left to find out about the background of that little girl.

After that, there were only Sean and the little girl in the suite.

Sean had always been a cold and quiet person. He did not have much experience in dealing with kids either.

Both of them were facing each other. When he looked up, he would see the little kid sitting on the sofa across the room, staring at him.

Sean could not hold it anymore and ask forcefully, “Do you want some water?”

Claudia shook her head.

Actually, she had been studying this man in front of her.

Although it was said that this man was still allegedly her daddy for now.

However, she had an extra pleasant feeling when she got close to him just now.

Additionally, he looked particularly attractive. There was a recognizable resemblance between him and her brothers if she looked closely... This man could really be her daddy!

She could not control her excitement anymore when she thought about this.

She had to complete her mission no matter what!

After being rejected by the little girl, Sean still went to pour a glass of water anyway. Then, he frowned and started hitting his legs.

His injured legs were sore from his bad sleep last night.

Claudia could not help but walk over to him heartily after seeing that. She said to Sean with her naïve and ingenuous voice, “Daddy, do your legs feel uncomfortable? I’ll help you massage them, okay? My massaging skills are very good!”

Without even waiting for Sean's response, her tiny hands were already on his legs as she massaged him gently.

Sean was shocked. He realized that the little girl’s method is quite structured even though she was so young. Even though her strength was limited, it was enough to soothe his discomfort.

He was surprised as he looked at the little girl uncontrollably.

‘She’s so young, but she’s so sensible and sweet. She even knows how to massage too. I’m pretty sure that she’d been specially trained to do this!’

His gaze softened a little when he was thinking about that. “Thank you,” he said.

Claudia flashed him a smile upon hearing that. “You’re welcome!”

...

At the same time, Molly was still rushing back to the hotel.

More than ten minutes had passed by the time she reached the hotel.

She saw two familiar little figures right after she got down the car. They rushed to her from the revolving doors and hugged her legs as they said frightenedly, “Mommy! This is bad! Claudia is missing!”

‘What?’

Molly could not process what the two of them had just said to her. “What happened?”

She had only left for a while. How did Claudia go missing?!
