Zoe looked at him dully.
She blurted out the words as she was angry, but she didn’t expect that he would take it so seriously.
Feeling the pain from her chin, Zoe let out a light groan and said unhappily, “What are you doing? It hurts.”
“Answer my question.”
The man’s tone of voice was overbearing and cold lights flashed across his eyes.
Zoe was a bit scared by his stare.
She knitted her brows, “What do you want me to answer?”
“Who am I?”
Zoe was speechless.
Was he mentally handicapped? Why didn’t he know who he was?
Pitifully, she could only complain this in her heart. She couldn’t say it out.
Zoe curled her lips into an ingratiating smile and replied honestly, “You’re Henry Han.”
“Hmm?”
Zoe was speechless again.
Was it wrong?
She then replied tentatively, “Mr. Han?”
Henry was taken aback hearing what she said.
“Heh, come on, you won’t be asking me to call you Mr. Chairman, right??”
Seeing the quick change in the man’s tensed expression, Zoe knew that she had given a wrong answer again.
“Heh, I will give you the last chance. Give me a satisfactory answer, okay?”
Zoe bit her lower lip.
“Don’t bite your lip!”
When she bit her red lip with her white teeth, she just looked so pitifully beautiful, which stimulated his impulse to plunder her.
Hence, the man quickly pinched her chin to stop her.
Feeling the sharp pain, Zoe groaned with dissatisfaction.
Right at this moment, she suddenly had a light-bulb moment.
Seeming to figure out something, she looked at him in disbelief.
She then stammered an answer tentatively, “You’re my… my honey.”
Henry sneered.
“Remember this then. Although your words were unintentional, I don’t want to hear those words again!”
The man’s gaze was a bit cold and he said in a deep and warning voice, “Understand?”Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Although Zoe was a bit dumbfounded, she still knew better than to say anything more and just nodded her head.
Only then did Henry loosen the grip on her chin and walk to the other side of the bed. When he prepared to get onto the bed, he saw his phone that was placed on the bedside table.
He knitted his brows and shifted his gaze onto Zoe.
Zoe came to her own sense and hurriedly explained it, “You got a call just now. I’ve told you, but you didn’t answer me. I answered the call only accidentally.”
Speaking of this, Zoe became a bit guilt-stricken.
Henry didn’t say anything. He picked up his phone and took a glance.
“What did she say to you?”
Zoe smiled awkwardly.
“Nothing. Er… She’s your daughter, right?”
Henry turned around and shot a glance at her.
After two seconds of silence, he corrected her words, “She’s our daughter.”
Zoe really don’t know what to say.
Luckily, she wasn’t drinking water now; otherwise, she would definitely spurt out the water in her mouth.
However, after a second thought, since she and Henry were already officially married, of course his daughter was also her daughter.
Now she suddenly had a daughter. Initially, Zoe was dumbfounded, but now she suddenly became cheered up.
“That’s true. If that’s the case, seems like it’s not a bad thing.”
Zoe didn’t hate the idea of having a child at all. Moreover, upon hearing the voice from the other end of the phone, she inexplicably had a cordial feeling although she had never met that child before.
Zoe felt it fantastic. At a second though, she was a bit amused.
“I wondered whether she’s cute or not. Hmm… it would be the best if she don’t have your temper. You really have a bad temper. You’re so temperamental. It will be bad if the little girl is like this.”
Henry fixed his eyes on her, “Then whom do you expect her to be like?”
“Of course she should be like her mother.”
Come to think of it, Zoe suddenly realized that she even didn’t know who the little girl’s biological mother was.
She hurriedly asked, “Is she your ex’s child? Oh, had you ever been married before?”
Henry, “…”
Could he borrow Thor’s hammer from him?
After blurting out the question, Zoe also realized that it was impossible.
After all, if it was his second marriage, she would have known it when they came to the marriage bureau to apply for marriage certificates.
Zoe smiled embarrassedly. Henry didn’t say anything else. He even agreed to her opinion.
“Yeah. She’s quite like her mother.”
He paused and then picked up his phone and walked to the balcony, “I will call back.”
Zoe nodded her head.
She watched him walking to the balcony. In the endless dark night and under the warm, yellow lights of the house, the man, who was clenching his phone and standing straight, was talking into the phone gently.
Lying face down on the bed, Zoe held her cheek in one hand and studied the man carefully.
She suddenly felt that this man was not as cruel and merciless as he was in the rumors.
At least he was good to her. And she could tell that he was a responsible good father for the way he treated his child.
Zoe unconsciously curled her lips into a smile.
Henry spent lots of time on the call.
He had no choice as he pampered his daughter Anne a lot.
He didn’t answer her call just now. Although Zoe answered the call later, she didn’t say anything. So Anne was angry because she thought that Henry was deliberately ignoring her.
Henry put in good words to coax Anne. After a long while, this little demon finally forgave him.
Henry said in a soft voice, “It’s late now. Be a good girl and go to bed, okay?”
The kid’s cute voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Okay. But you must answer my call in the future.”
Henry rubbed his brows helplessly.
“Sometime when I’m at a meeting, I would mute my phone. So I can’t hear it.”
“I will call you when you’re not at a meeting.”
“Really?”
“Of course. Grandma has told me that Daddy is busy with work and it’s tiresome. She asked me not to bother you. That’s why I always call you in the evening.”
Henry didn’t expect that this naughty kid would also be so thoughtful.
He chuckled and replied in a soft voice.
“I see. I will not miss your call in the future.”
Only then was the kid satisfied. But soon, her voice was tinged with a trace of dejection.
“Daddy, actually I called you because I missed you.”
Henry paused.
It felt like his heart was gently hit by something.
Anne continued, “But Grandma doesn’t allow me
to come to find you. Daddy, when will you come back to see me? I miss you so much! Other kids have father and mother, but I have none. I’m so pitiful! No one likes me, awww…”
Henry knew that Anne was pretending, as he had specially flown to visit her when he was on a business trip not long ago.
However, hearing her soft and childish voice and her pretentious crying tone, his heart uncontrollably softened.
“Good girl, Daddy will come back soon.”
“Soon? How long will that be?”
Anne was a shrewd girl and she wouldn’t be fooled around easily.
“About one month.”
“Awww… Daddy, you don’t like me anymore. Are you going to abandon me? Boohoo…”
Anne, who was at the other end of the phone, cried miserably.
Henry touched his forehead helplessly.
Nevertheless, he had no choice as this was his beloved daughter even though she was spoiled by him.
He coaxed her patiently, “One month is already the bottom line. If you keep on crying, I will not come back one month later. Not just me, but also the mother I have found for you will not come back either.”
Anne immediately stopped crying.
