"Do.. Does...." Realising how shaky her voice sounds, Mo Ning takes in a deep breath before trying again.
" Does he want to meet me? " She asked playing with her fingers without looking up.
Her daughters insecurity was something she had never experienced before but it didn't take long for Mo Xiaye to come to terms with it. That was for no other reason but for the fact that she had once been there and so, she understood.
That overwhelming feeling of wanting approval from your father even over the littlest of things.
How could she not know the feeling? When she had tried so much to come first in every of her exams just so she could receive a word of praise from her father but he never even as much as glanced at her results and always throws her disdainful glares each time worst than the last shattering a young girls dreams and hopes.
And why the disdain you ask? All because she was a girl!!
How was it possible for a child to decide their own gender?
If he was so capable, why didn't he directly deposit a boy in her mother and then see if she was capable of carrying it or not?
But no he was incapable and so he decided to pour his resentment out on her.
If not for him, why would she go ahead and trow herself to the first man who loved her unconditionally and go as far as to drug him to be intimate with him despite how much she loved him? Even though she had never regretted that decision she knew dey down that everything would have been much better if she had a father to guide her and her daughter wouldn't have had to spend her childhood without a father.
Calming her thoughts a bit, Mo Xiaye cradled her daughter in her arms.
" Yes he wants to see you. He even wanted to come meet you the day we met but I declined because I needed to have a talk with you first. You won't believe it, he even brought a bunch of your pictures with him. " She said while giggling. " and when I asked him how he got them, he said he got them from his sister who started collecting them from the first day she met you and after collecting enough she asked him if he had a secret family that they weren't aware of? Even though he saw the pictures, he knew deep down that you were his but he was afraid, so after conducting an investigation to find out if I was married, he decided to come find us. " At the end of her explanation, Mo Ning couldn't help but to smile when she pictured the man fidgety over something like this when he signed huge deals daily without even blinking.
" Alright, I'll meet him. "
