“No way…” Monique wanted to reject him but she was cut short. Although her impression of Henry had changed for the better, sleeping with him was still too much to ask. “Are you sure?” Henry’s low and cold voice resonated in the air, the lack of warmth in his voice was like a demon pulling souls to hell. Every other woman would be jumping at any opportunity to sleep with him, yet she kept on rejecting him. This greatly damaged his overly proud ego. His ink-dark pupils were like a bottomless well that would suck one’s soul in. Monique trembled a little, held her breath. She wanted to ask for some time to consider it, but her rational mind told her she must agree before being dragged into hell. Since he saved them today, and that he agreed to keep his distance from Little Nomi, Monique took a deep breath and answered, biting on her lips, “Just sleeping, and nothing else!” Henry stood up. He placed one hand on the table and leaned toward her. He hated her look of disdain, he
“Hey you!” Looking at Monique who was curled to the far end of the bed, Henry’s lips curled up and called out to her. Monique heard his hoarse voice calling out to her, she remained unmoved and took a sneak peak at him. She saw a long silhouette by the bed, she shut her eyes tight and pretended to be asleep. Henry carefreely laid down on the middle of the bed, and fell asleep not long after. Monique stayed in this position unmoved for quite a while, until she felt the man had fallen asleep before she left out her breath. ‘Stupid man! He did this on purpose! Now that my hands and legs are numb!’ She thought as she turned to peak at the man, after making sure that the man had fallen asleep, she turned back and relaxed. She fell asleep not long after. Meanwhile, Henry was actually awake all along, he opened his eyes wide after Monique had fallen asleep. She looked at Monique who was curled out by the end of the bed that could fall off the bed anytime now, he reached out his
At one point, Mrs. Lee even suspected that Henry was not into women. The two maids behind Mrs. Lee, too, stared at Henry in shock. They rubbed their eyes at once, did they just see him smile? The man standing in front of them was at least six foot three, his chiseled jawline sharp like a man-made sculpture, the contour on his face beautiful and charming, his dark pupils cold and bold. He had already resumed his ordinary outlook by then. They must have seen it wrong. “Why’re you two still standing there?” Mrs. Lee scolded the two maids who were dumbfounded by the mysterious smile on Henry’s face. Henry had marched down the stairs elegantly by then, followed by Mrs. Lee behind him, and the two maids standing there transfixed. As Henry got down, he stopped and looked up at them with his usual cold and emotionless gaze. The two maids almost staggered as their hands trembled a little, was he mad at them for not following him down? “Mrs. Lee, why don’t you stay up there,
Little Nomi had not seen Monique since she had fallen asleep yesterday. She was worried about her Mommy. “Mommy is fine, she’s just tired. She’s still resting, don’t wake her up yet.” Henry reassured Little Nomi as he saw the look of panic in her eyes. He ruffled her hair as he spoke to her with a gentle and reassuring tone. “I see,” Little Nomi blinked her doe eyes, her lips curled up as she acted like a tiny adult which was very adorable. Her skin was so fair and smooth, her cheeks slightly pink, she looked like a doll when she smiled. When Henry carried Little Nomi in his arms, he had a strange feeling as if this adorable girl was his very own daughter. He would never have thought that he could become a father one day, and he did not mind that Little Nomi was not his actual daughter at all! If one day he woke up without that adorable cheeks of Little Nomi’s, without that baby scent of hers, he might feel something was lacking. Henry looked at her with a gentle and charming
Angel tilted her little head, revealing her pinkish small face, staring at Henry with a pair of teary eyes as her small lips were trembling, as though she had something to tell him."Are you really my dad?" Angel with her cute little big pair of eyes still fixed upon Henry."Of course I am." Henry, without a second thought, replied with a confident tone as he stroked Angel‘s soft silky hair.She was indeed Henry's biological daughter."If that's the case, why Mommy wouldn't allow me to call you Daddy?" Asked Angel, blinking her big and cute eyes.Angel felt down whenever she recalled her mother forbidding her from greeting the good-looking man that was right in front of her as 'Daddy'. It has been countless times that Angel disobeyed it but whenever she saw her mother's eyes swirling with sadness, it made her feel sad as well.But all she wanted was to have a father.Every other child had their father except Angel and she would often become a laughing stock to them."Mommy is s
"Really? Will you treat Mommy better?" Said Angel delightfully as she blinked those pretty eyelashes of hers."Yup, I'll treat you two well forever." Henry raised his eyebrows, a flash of complicated feeling was seen from his eyes that were like a bottomless pond.Henry had never participated in any of Monique's life events, from being pregnant to giving birth, even till today. He also had not had the slightest idea what she had gone through, the only thing he knew was that Monique had a hard time previously which he did not realize to be so bad. However, Monique still managed to take good care of Angel, educating her to be so obedient and cute.Whereas for Henry, he had never done his part as a father. He should bear the responsibility which was why he felt that he should treat her well.Seeing Angel’s chubby little face, seeing her so happy, Henry felt glad as well."What's your Mommy's preference?" Henry asked in an unhurried manner as his tall grandeur silhouette leaned agains
Despite all the servants in the Moore manor had changed the way they greeted her to 'young Lady', Angel still preferred to be called ‘Angel’. Besides, she sort of had a good impression of uncle Stone."Uncle Stone, just call me Angel will do.""Alright, miss Angel.""Great." Angel twitched the corner of her eyes, thinking this handsome bespectacled uncle was such an old fashioned!Henry who was glancing through the documents on his hands suddenly thought back of what Angel just said, claiming that playing all by herself was a boring thing to do.Boring! How could he allowed his daughter to be bored?"Come in." Henry made a call and ordered Mandy to enter his office room."Any request, chairman?" Mandy hurried in a very reliable manner as though the chairman had something urgent."What does a little girl like to play?" Eyes remained on the documents as Henry with his deep and attractive voice along with acold aura only a chairman would have, asked in a tone that was cold and fai
"Aunt Louise!" Angel who got down to the first floor immediately spotted the gorgeous Aunt Louise.She was as usual in her light purple office attire and her attire perfectly revealed her perfect body cut. Her mini-skirt housing her bottom opened up to her long fair legs. A dedicated small face was indeed pretty with a light touch-up.Louise heard a voice calling out to her as she turned around to face the direction of the cute little voice."Angel!!! How come you're here?" Louise was shocked and happy at the same time.Angel was waving her hands to Louise with a sweet smile craved on her pretty face.The other hand of hers was being held by another man who was wearing a suit, black spectacles on his attractive face. Louise was shocked to see that the man who was holding Angel’s hand was assistant Stone.However, she immediately came back to her senses, realizing that it was just natural that assistant Stone was the one who brought her downstairs since she was the daughter of the
