Chapter 26: Unexpected Encounter
ATTICUS POV
"Damn it, Dad! I will never marry the woman you want me to marry because no matter what you do, my decision will be followed!" I screamed frantically at my father.
"You can't do anything because when you leave, you won't be blessed with any wealth that comes from our clan. Remember that I am only your guide and when you disobey my wishes even one bit, you will get nothing from me." He also answered me angrily, I wanted to yell at him because of anger but I couldn't.
"How long will you control the life that I have dad? I did everything? I grew the company well and made sure we were ranked second in the world but still not enough. And what are you saying that I won't get a single penny of my hard work? Maybe you forget that I was the reason for your rise, the moment I lose the management of your company I will make sure you fall." I promised him coldly and firmly.
I saw how he was stunned by what I said, knowing that he couldn't let me go because he knew the consequences.
"And if I do marry someone, I will make sure that I only present the woman I love at the altar!" After I said that, I immediately turned to go out but I was stopped when he suddenly spoke.
"Then I will give you ten days for you to present to us the woman you are proud of and love, if you don't do it, you will marry the woman I want to be your wife against your will!" After he said that, I didn't answer and immediately left his office at home.
"Oh, son, did you and your father argue again?" Asked Mommy who met me on the way to Dad's office.
"What else is new? If only Dad wasn't hungry for wealth, we wouldn't be arguing every day, I'm going to leave first, Mom I just wanna chill." I didn't feel like talking to Mom and immediately kissed her on the forehead and passed her to leave the house.
I immediately went down the stairs and walked straight to the main door of the house and went out.
I got on my motorcycle and immediately started it, I thought of just going to the orphanage because that's where I feel comfortable, I feel like I don't have any problems when I go to the orphanage because of the children.
If it wasn't for Adam, I wouldn't know about that orphanage.
When I started running my motorcycle, I arrived right in front of the orphanage, I noticed a car whose owner looked like she was rich, I just ignored it and immediately went inside, as soon as I entered, I saw workers who worked at this orphanage, I just waved at them until a child came up to me with a happy smile.
"Brother! It is good that you visit here again!” Sherra said, an angel girl who always welcomes me when I'm going to visit here in the orphanage.
"Hey, baby girl how's your day?" I asked her and ruffled her hair.
"It's okay brother, come on, go inside first and I'll just call sister Mary." She said with a smile and immediately accompanied me inside the orphanage.
"Just sit on the sofa first brother, I'll just call sister Mary." I just nodded before leaning back and crossing my arms while sitting on the sofa.
As I looked around, sister Mary suddenly came and what surprised me was that she was with the woman that Adam had been looking for a long time. I didn’t know that she was already here in the Philippines.
"Ms. Eleanor, how did you find this place?” I asked her because she was the only quiet one next to sister Mary.
"Ah, I found this orphanage 3 years ago." She answered sparingly.
"Really? Then can you tell me why are you here today?” I want to talk about her because I have something silly to do.
"Nothing, I just want to visit here with my daughter." She said.
"Daughter?" I asked her confused because as far as I know she and Adam only have one child and it's a boy.
"Ah yes, her name is Fiorenza Fia Aberra, my little princess." She answered my question with a smile.
"Your daughter's name is so beautiful, I'm now curious what's your daughter's appearance, can I see her?" I asked her with a smile.
"Yeah you can, let's go to the garden, she's there playing with the other kids." After she said that, she immediately stood up.
"Sister Mary, we will leave you alone, I just want to introduce my daughter to him," She said goodbye to sister Mary.
"Alright, I'll do something too, you take care of the children first." Sister Mary walked out of the orphanage after she said that, so I followed Mia to the garden.
I'll just call her by her second name because her first name is too long. We arrived at the garden.
"That's my daughter over there." She pointed to a girl who was happily talking to another girl, all I can say is that the child is very beautiful and I can't deny that this was Adam's child because she looks a little like him.
"Princess! Come here for a moment someone wants to meet you!” She shouted with his soft voice when she called her daughter.
"Mom!" She shouted happily and ran towards us.
"Princess be careful when you run you might get hurt." She reminded his little princess.
"Meet your Uncle Atticus." She said, the girl immediately looked up at me and smiled sweetly at me.
"Damn she's so cute when she smiles," I said in my mind.
"Hello uncle, I'm Fiorenza Fia you can call me Fia." She introduced herself tenderly, now she knows why Adam loved Eleanor so much because of her beauty and tenderness, not just because his youngest daughter inherited it.
"You're so cute, baby girl." I smiled and said to her.
"Thank you, uncle." She thanked me.
"Baby girl, can we take a picture together?" I asked her.
“Hmm…okay.” She answered with a nod, so I excitedly took out my cell phone and immediately came to her side and took a picture of the two of us.
"That's how beautiful and cute you are here baby girl, that one will surely be jealous." I laughed and said.
"Who would be happy?" They both said that stopped me, damn my babbling.
"I mean my mom because that one loves kids." I gave an awkward answer to both of them, they were mother and daughter.
"Uncle I'll be back to my new friends." She said goodbye and immediately ran back to the other children.
"Do you mind if I ask about her father?" I asked Eleanor who was by my side.
"Yeah," She promised sparingly.
"Where is the father of my child?" Even if I know who it is, I will still ask.
"He's already dead.” She said seriously, even though I wanted to laugh because she said that the father of her daughter which is Adam is dead, I stopped her because she might hate me, she doesn't know me as her wife's friend.
“Ahem…What killed?” I stopped laughing when I asked her that.
"He died flirting with another woman." I don't know but I laughed at her response.
"Seriously! I can't believe it, someone dies because of that?" I asked her while laughing.
I want to curse myself because if Adam sees me looking at the woman he's crazy about like this, he might bury me alive.
"Wait, why did you end up here?" She asked and turned to look at me.
"Nothing, it's just that the palms of my feet always itch when I don’t walk" I laughed at her.
"It's clear from your speech that you know what a mischievous person you are." She raised her eyebrows and said.
"Hahaha...my life is like that, I just need to be happy," I answered her while staring at the children playing.
"Aren't you even asking who and where I come from?" I asked her.
"No, and I'm not interested in other people's lives." She shrugged her shoulders.
"Then I'll leave you for now, I'm going to walk and go somewhere else," I said goodbye to her and s immediately nodded.
When I left the orphanage, I didn't say goodbye to sister Mary because I didn't see her. I immediately got on my motorcycle and drove it away from the orphanage.
While I was driving my motorcycle, a woman suddenly appeared and caused me to hit the brakes immediately and fall. Fortunately, I was not hurt.
"Ms. Are you going to kill yourself?” I asked her when I could build my motorcycle.
"You're the one who's about to get into trouble, you're the one who's angry!" She answered me back as she stood up and patted the back of her butt and looked up at me.
I was stunned because of the beauty of her face, her slightly round eyes, and her eyelashes were beautiful to watch until my gaze fell on her red lips. I just noticed that this was wearing a cap and a boyish t-shirt.
If Adam has an innocent madness, I have a boyish madness right now.Download Novelah App
