Chapter 23: Arcade
ELEANOR MIA POV
Our eyes met, my hand suddenly got cold and I couldn't move while looking at him, I never thought we would meet in this situation where I didn't want him to know or see what I was hiding from him, I saw how the pain in his eyes and suddenly returned to the cold look.
"Honey, princess!" I heard the scream of the woman behind them, they turned around so I wasted no time and immediately picked up Fia and quickly left the shop, I didn't want to face him first, especially now that I saw that they both have a child of that woman.
"Mom, my dress." My daughter said, but I didn't pay attention to it and immediately looked for the elevator and got on it quickly when the elevator closed, I saw how he ran towards us but luckily the elevator closed immediately.
Even though I want to go home right away, I don't want to ruin my daughter’s happy day here, so I thought of going to the arcade so she could play there first.
"Princess, let's play first after that we will be buying a dress in that shop again." I smiled at her so she nodded and sniffed.
"By the way princess, what happened earlier while I'm not around you?" I asked her as she got up at the same time as the elevator opened, so I walked out of it.
"Mom, that kid just grabbed the dress I'm holding earlier, and she even pushed me." She said softly.
"How about the man beside that kid? Did he do something to hurt you?” I asked her.
"No mom, but he said that I shouldn't get someone's property." She took a deep breath when she said that and it made me even more confused.
"What do you mean?" I asked her in wonder.
"He thinks I'm the one who's trying to get the dress, without knowing that his daughter is lying, and that's why I cried."
"I thought he was kind but no, I don't want to see him again." I saw how his eyes darkened at the first opportunity. I didn't know that she has this attitude when she gets angry.
"Hey, I don't like how your face looks like, princess, it's creepy and you're getting ugly," I said to her seriously but it was just a joke because I want her expression to go back to before.
"I'm sorry mom." She said and hugged my neck before she kissed my cheeks.
"It's okay princess just don't make that face again, okay?" I told her and kissed her forehead.
"Okay, mommy." Her lively voice returned and her lively expression made me smile.
"Your so beautiful princess when you always smile." I calmly told her.
We arrived at the arcade of the mall and it was so big that all the games were there, now I'm more and more curious about its owner.
"Princess, Let's exchange our money into tokens first before we start the game you want to play," I said before walking to the exchange of tokens, I let her down as I lifted her to take the one thousand pesos from my bag to exchange for tokens.
"Let's go." I grabbed one of her hands after I got a lot of tokens and pulled her to the middle of the arcade so that I could choose what she wanted to play.
"Choose what you want to play princess," I promised her with a smile.
“Mom I'll try that one!” She cheerfully pointed to a machine where you had to pick up the little doll inside.
"Okay, let's go!" I happily pulled her over there and put three tokens in the machine because that's what was written there before I made her sit on a stool chair in front of the machine.
"Do you want me to teach you how to play that one princess?" I asked her, she nodded so I immediately told her the right way to play even though I know I'm not good at this.
Ten minutes passed but still, we didn't get a single doll inside, we almost both put focused on the machine but we couldn't get what was inside.
"Why this machine is like this, I can’t even get the toy!" It's annoying if you hold the control of the machine tightly because it looks like this machine is just playing with us.
"Mom, who's the owner of this mall? I'm gonna tell him to close this stupid machine!” She said annoyed.
"Let's leave this one and transfer to another game princess, 'cause that machine is making my blood boil," I said disgustedly.
“Okay, mom I'm just gonna break this machine!” I was surprised because of what she said and was about to hit the machine with his small palm when someone suddenly grabbed it.
"Baby, your hands might get hurt if you hit that machine." I was stunned when I saw him in front of us.
"Mister, do I know you?" My daughter asked bluntly and looked at her father intently, knowing that she was angry when she acted like that.
"Little girl, I know you already know me." He said calmly.
"No, I hate you! Hmmm” I saw how the pain passed through his eyes before he turned his gaze to me, and I saw how his eyes darkened which surprised me because I don't remember anything that I did to make him angry.
"We'll talk later." He said coldly and emphatically.
“Baby….” He gently kissed Fia, who now had her arms crossed with her back turned to him.
"Hey, I'm sorry, what do you want? I'll buy it for you.” When my daughter heard that, she immediately faced him and smiled widely.
“Apology accepted. But you need to buy anything I want.” Fia said using her cute voice that everyone's weakness.
"Okay, then what do you want?" As I'm watching both of them my heart aches and melts. I don't know if I will be happy or angry because, in the years that have passed, they have met each other.
"Let's play the first mister before you buy what I want." Fia excitedly said and held his hand. I can see happiness in his eyes while looking at my princess and his daughter.
"You can call me da-"
"You can call him uncle, princess." I cut him off right when he was going to say it because I don't want Fia to know that he is her real father and I can deny that he is not the father of my child, especially since I saw him as a family man.
"What do you mean?" Adam asked me bluntly, I swallowed and tried to stabilize my expression and didn't show that I was nervous because I might end up in trouble.
"Princess, you can play there. I'm just gonna talk to your uncle for a minute." Even though I was nervous I tried to smile at my daughter, I saw her smile and nod before letting go of her father's hand and starting to go to another game in the arcade.
"What are you doing here?" Even though I wanted to get angry, I forced my voice to be calm because I didn't want to make a scene inside this arcade. After all, there were too many people.
"I'm here for my daughter." He said coldly and looked at me with his eyes which made my knees weak.
"How can you say that? She's not your daughter.” I told him strongly.
"No, she's mine, so don't deny anything, and don't forget that I also have a son from you." He said calmly but his expression remained blank.
"No, you don't have a child with me. So don't try to come closer to us because we are happy without you, we lived without you, so live without us especially now that we are happy." I meant to show him my hand where there was a diamond ring that I saw at home this morning and it made me so beautiful that I put it on.
"Married?" He said coldly, I was scared by the quality of his voice but I will stand by my lie.
"Yes," I answered him sparingly and avoided looking at him.
"You forget that you're still married to me." I looked back at him when he said that.
"As far as I know you are married to someone else and not to me," I answered him coldly.
"Don't change the topic, you are still mine, your body, soul and even your heart are mine, so don't let me do something that can hurt you cause I won't hesitate to hurt you when you take my son and daughter away from me again.” My hands got cold and tears welled up in my eyes when I heard that from his mouth, who am I so that he can't hurt me?
"Can you just leave us alone? We are in peace without you so please just leave and never show yourself to us even your shadow.” I gently promised him because I don't want my anger to come out in this place especially since Fia is right next to us.
"I still didn't start my game, Eleanor, so don't give up easily." He said coldly and turned his back before walking towards our princesses who were happily looking at the children playing.Download Novelah App
