ELEANOR MIA POV
"Uncle! You should be better at this than me!” I'm just watching them, I saw a different smile on my daughter’s face.
I saw how the joy in my daughter’s eyes increased, her smile and every laugh she had with her father I never saw every time I was with her who was her mother.
"This game is too annoying princess! Let's just try that game.” Adam suggested. I don't know why I just smiled because of his expression. His thick eyebrows almost met as he looked at what they were playing.
"But uncle, I don't know how to play that game," My daughter mumbled while looking at the game her father taught her. Even I don't know how to play that game.
"That game is simple princess, want me to teach you?" Adam smiled and said to Fia, while I frowned and approached the two of them.
"Don't tell me you're going to teach my daughter how to use a gun?" I felt bad for him when I said that when I got close to the two of them. Because the game that he wants to play is a game where you have to shoot the standing little robots and the prize will be a big teddy bear and I don't know how there is a game like that in the arcade.
"That's just a game Eleanor, Don't be paranoid and in fact, it's a toy gun, not a real one." I was silent because of the way he spoke as if I was just like air to him and he didn't even look at me.
I feel out of place as they start heading to the game they wanted to play, I just sighed and sat on a chair on the side where I could see the two of them playing.
While I was looking at them, I suddenly stopped when I saw how the woman who was with Adam earlier in the Dress Shop entered the arcade, and with her was the girl who had a dress fight with my daughter and if I'm not mistaken, I still remember that woman's name as far as I can remember, she is Kierra Natividad.
Even if I wanted to go to my daughter, it was too late because I heard how the child screamed while running to where my daughter and his father were.
"Daddy!" She shouted that making Adam and Fia stop playing and pay attention to the girl who was now running towards them and hug Adam in front of my daughter.
"Hey princess, don't run again you might get hurt," Adam said with a gentle voice, I can't believe how he can just ignore his daughter just because of that girl.
"How stupid are you Mia, of course, that's his child," I whispered to myself and turned to look at my daughter who was now just on the side while looking at Adam and the young newcomer.
My heart seemed to break when I saw the pain and sadness in my daughter's eyes, knowing that she would soon cry. I didn't think twice to approach them and immediately lifted her in my arms, I saw that Adam's attention went to me at the same time as Kierra arrived.
"We need to go home. I think my daughter is already tired and she needs to rest." I felt how my daughter's head was buried in my neck and I could also feel the pressure on my neck, knowing that she had cried silently.
"I still want to be with her." As he said that I glared at him.
"Why don't you just waste your time with your child instead of my daughter Reigo? Don't make my daughter feel out of place 'cause she's too sensitive and too easy to get hurt emotionally.” I told him strongly.
"Dad, who are they?" The girl beside him asked out of nowhere.
"Yeah Adam, who are they? Do you know them? And I noticed that you left us at the dress shop earlier just to chase them, do they have any connections with you?” Kierra asked.
"No, I just want to be nice to that little girl in her arms." My hurt almost exploded as I heard that from him.
"Really huh? Thank you for having a fun time with my daughter I appreciate it a lot and thank you for denying her, it satisfied me and gave me the courage not to introduce who you are to her, Adam Reigo Ashford.” It's said gently, but with a hint of sarcasm.
I turned and walked away from them while carrying my daughter, when I got out of the arcade, anger and pain mixed in my heart because my daughter and I seemed to be out of place when Kierra and her daughter came.
"Mom...you said I can see my dad, where is he? I'm jealous of the way Uncle called that girl princess.” Tears fell from my other eye when I heard my daughter’s sobs when she asked that question.
If you only knew, my princess, that your real father was with you earlier, you wouldn't have asked me such a question.
"Don't worry Princess just wait for a little time, you'll soon see your father but not now, please understand," I said softly and wiped the tears that fell from my eyes earlier.
"Mom, I understand." She responded.
"Do you want to eat?" I just asked her to change the topic so that she would forget, but knowing that my daughter is smart, I know it will stay in her mind.
"Do you want me to take you to the Jollibee? Princess?” I asked her again when I didn't get a response to my first question to her.
"That would be good mom, I'm hungry." She gave a weak answer so I started to go to the elevator to go down to the 1st floor because everything you can eat is there, including Jollibee.
"Princess, do you want to go to the orphanage later after we eat?" I asked her while we were riding in the elevator and there was no one inside.
"Yes mommy, I also want to find friends here in the Philippines." She said.
"Then we'll go later because I'm sure the children at the orphanage are kind and I know you can get a lot of friends there." I smiled and touched her hair.
The elevator opened so I got out while it was still going up until we got inside Jollibee I saw that the lineup wasn't that long so I couldn't wait to order.
"Princess, wait for me here I'm just going to order our food, Don't leave okay?" I reminded her and she nodded, I left her on a table before walking to line up and order I was third in line so I wouldn't get bored.
I will be the next one to order so I just ordered something that will fit both my daughter and me. When I finished at the counter, I took our table number and went back to my daughter's place to wait for our order, which the crew would serve later.
When I looked at my daughter, she was looking outside the glass wall of Jollibee, so my eyes went to what she was looking at outside, I stopped walking when I saw Adam with Kierra, who were between their kid while they were holding their daughter both hands.
I looked at my daughter who was still looking at them outside and my heart was triple broke, I never thought I would see my daughter this sad, if before she was so happy, but now she seems to have no appetite.
I walked closer to her and sat in front of her before smiling sweetly at her.
"Princess," I called her so his attention went to me.
"Mom." She replied.
"Aren't you bored waiting for me to come back?" I asked her, but she just shook her head in response.
"Why is my princess frowning again? Is there a problem?" I just want to ask her to see if she will tell the truth. I saw her turn to the glass wall again before speaking.
"Look how happy they are mom, Now I'm wondering how it feels having a father who can hold you like that." She said sadly.
"I told you, princess, you can call your Uncle Lux your temporary father until your dad shows up," I said to make her feel better.
"But Mom did you already forget what Uncle Lux did?" She asked innocently.
"All of us can make a single mistake princess, I want to be mad at your Uncle Lux but you know how close we are princess and I don't want your uncle Lux to leave us, Lux help me gain my career in state and even treat you and your brother as his child.” I smiled and said to her, I'll admit that I'm angry with Lux because of what he did but it's just a small thing.
I was just angry because I saw how my daughter could be scared because of what Lux did, I have a habit that when my children are involved, the anger will suddenly rise in my chest and I can't control what comes out of my mouth.
"Besides your Uncle Lux is kind, he even buys what you want, don't you like him as your father?" I joked with her.
"Of course Mom, I like Uncle Lux as my father,"
"That's right, should I call him and tell him to come here to the Philippines?" I asked her, I saw her nod and smile at me.
