“It’s delicious, thank you.” Monique knew he was angry, so she purposely tried to find a topic to talk about.Henry sat lazily, and rolled his eyes. Was that a hungry ghost in front of him? She looked nothing like a woman.He was still furious. He saved her today, but she showed no sign of appreciation, and even avoided him, such an ingrate person. He looked at her with a sullen expression, and remained silent.The atmosphere in the room was eerie to the bone.Although Monique was still eating, his stare made her feel awkward to eat her dinner.“Why are you staring at me for the entire night? Do you like me?” She looked up with her almond eyes, the corner of her lips lifted. She mustered up her courage and asked in a joking manner. It was unpleasant when some words were hiding in her heart.“Like you? Why don’t you look into the mirror? How could I, Young Master Moore, be interested in you?” Henry sneered and ridiculed without even thinking about it.That was right, how could he
If Monique did not see it wrongly, the face of that man opposite from her was slightly red. Was he shy?“You’re so full of yourself!” She snorted quietly. She could see that he was not that angry anymore, so it was a good opportunity for discussion.She straightened her back and looked at him with an honest eye, then she said, “Henry, can you stop telling Little Nomi that you’re her daddy?”“No!” Henry rejected with a cold harsh voice and gave her a cold glare.She had a face the size of a palm, her brows were thin and long like a crescent moon, her lashes were thick, and her eyes were sparkling like a refined onyx. When she looked at him, there was determination in her eyes.She could feel the eeriness from him, even though he was only sitting there lazily with no emotions, but in her eyes, this good-looking man looked sinister, it was as if she would be eaten.However, this was not the time for her to be a coward. She mustered up her courage and looked at him, “I understand you
“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
