Just as autnt Mary finished speaking, a girl with long curly blonde hair and beautiful pair of ocean blue eyes came running towards them.
She was no other than ISABELLA PARKER."
She looked absolutely adorable in her little dress, glowing and shining like the sun.
Mia's heart skipped a beat on sighting the little bundle of cuteness running towards them.
The beautiful smile and charm that radiated from the little cutie was enough to melt anyone's heart.
Finally reaching her destination, Isabella took some time to breathe in and out before saying, "Hi, I'm Isabella."
Her voice was magnificently soothing to the ears. Mia couldn't believe that this was the daughter of the Almighty Evil CEO, smiling Mia answered, "Hi, I'm Mia. Nice to meet you."
She urged her father to come forward. Eden bent down to the height of his daughter and placed his ears towards her mouth to hear her little voice ask, "Is she my new mommy?"
Hearing that, a smile appeared on Eden's face and he answered, "Yes she is."
"She is gorgeous!" Isabella quietly whispered back.
"I know right, she is as pretty as little Isabella," The proud father complimented.
After the father and daughter pair had finished their secret conversation, Eden straightened his back.
Looking at Mia with admiration in her eyes, Isabella then asked, "I want to show you something, can you come with me?"
A little surprised, Mia didn't know what to say, she looked at Eden and saw him nod, so she decided to follow the little girl "S-sure!"
Hearing that, Isabella beamed, grabbing Mia's hands and they both left the living room, leaving Eden and Aunt Mary alone.
Coming closer to Eden, Aunt Mary asked, "So where did you hide the CCTV camera?"
Eden Chuckled at her question and teased, "How do you know me so well?"
"It's not about knowing you, it is just common sense. No one will believe that a man who never let any woman close to his daughter when he isn't there will let her be with his daughter in a private place."
"Ok you are right, it's common sense. You never fail to amuse me, Aunt," Eden laughed.
"Oh common, your mom might have given birth to you, but I was the one who breastfeed you and raised you, so I'm technically your mother."
"Ok then, let's go see what they are doing," Eden said, giving his bag to aunt Mary and they both went to his study room to watch the CCTV camera.

Meanwhile, in Isabella's bedroom, it looked like the two girls were really bonding.
"I'm so happy, I finally have a mommy. You don't know how many times I have pleaded with daddy to get me a mommy, but he always refused." The little girl said heartily.
"Isabella, I don't know much about your daddy, but what I know is that he loves you more than anything in the whole world. I'm sure that everything he does is for your good, so you should never complain."
"You are right, daddy is the best! But I'm still happy to have a mommy," Isabella agreed, beaming radiantly.
Seeing the little girl's excitement, Mia sighed and said with seriousness, "I know it's still a little weird for you to have a mother so suddenly, and I might not be your birth mother, but what I promise you that I will always love you. I don't want you to force yourself to do anything you don't want to do. So for now, you can call me Mia until you are more comfortable. I want us to take things slowly. I want to get to know you better, do you understand?"
"Yes, I also would like to know you better, Mia," Isabella responded with understanding.
This was just the beginning of a wonderful and happy family. They say a mother doesn't have to give birth to you, as long as she loves you with all her heart she deserves to be called a mother.
Inside Eden's study room, a laptop was placed in front of Eden and Aunt Mary. It turns out that they have been watching the interaction between Mia and Isabella, and they found no fault in it.
"She is a very nice girl. She looks like a very free spirited woman, but she still knows when and where to be responsible," Aunty Mary commented.
"Yeah!" Eden agreed with her before asking the next second, "Do you think she is good enough to be Isabella's mommy?"
"Well Eden, I'm not Isabella. Why not try asking the little girl what she thinks about Mia. After all, she is the reason you brought Mia here in the first place right."
"Hmm I think you are right. When I have alone time with my sunshine, I will talk to her."
"Great! Now that this is all settled, let me go finish making dinner, you should freshen up and come downstairs," Aunt Mary said, rushing out of Eden's study room.
Eden simply responded with a nod as his eyes were still glued to the laptop screen. He couldn't keep his eyes off Mia. There was something about her he loved; he was sure that was the same thing Isabella loved about her as well.
**********
All throughout their dinner, Mia and Isabella excitedly chatted together. Well, at least Isabella won't be disturbing Eden any longer, but he still missed his daughter. Now he really understood when his father said that, "Mothers always take the children's attention away from the fathers."
After dinner, Aunt Mary sent Isabella to her room, while Mia went to her room to freshen up.
In Isabella's room, Eden held his daughter by his side as he asked, "So… what do you think of your mommy? Do you like her…or…?"
"Yes daddy! I don't just like her; I love her. She is very fun. Finally, I have found someone who can keep up with me," Isabella remarked.
"What do you mean? I don't usually keep up with you?" Eden questioned.
"It's not that. It's just… she listens to all my gossip and even gives me advice on what I should do to anyone who bullies me, while daddy....." she paused and looked up to meet Eden's gaze.
"While daddy what?" Eden asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Daddy just says, don't fight; if you need help, report to the principal or teacher, or I will teach them a lesson for you."
"Ok, ok. I can see you love your new mommy a lot, just make sure you tell me if she does anything to you, ok," Eden resigned.
"Ok daddy," Isabella smiled warmly.
Seeing his daughter's happy face, Eden couldn't help but smile affectionately. She hasn't been this happy for a long time. Mia coming into her life seemed to be a good thing.
