Author's POV
The baby sat on the bench which had street lamp that just so happened to be shining vibrant orange on the baby's figure. The woman had wrapped the baby up in shawls so it was a bit okay?
Still sitting in the dark, the same car from which the woman with the baby came out from, passed him as though he wasn't there. The woman didn't see him but he saw her. Specifically her brown hair that was moving with the wind that came in from her side of the wound down window in the car.
She was looking sideways as if she was committing a crime by what she had done.
If it wasn't considered as a crime in Country Q.
After she was a few meters from him, he immediately stood up and walked towards the baby that was sitting still, observing it's surroundings with such a chubby face.
If one saw from afar, He or She would think he was a kidnapper in the dark judging by his lean figure and dark covering clothes.
He came to the bench and into the light and the baby finally looked up at him.
'Hmm...brown eyes, ' he thought.
Bringing the ice-cream cup closer to the baby's face, he scooped up ice-cream into the spoon and proceeded to feed the baby.
As the baby's eyes traveled from the man's face to the spoon held up in front of it's face, it smiled, showing little baby teeth and opening it's mouth to take in the ice-cream.
"Huh... So you know what ice-cream is?" He asked jokingly while raising an eyebrow at the baby.
The baby giggled and sure enough, it spoke, "Yes" with a smile.
At this point, he put the pieces together while feeding her different scoops of ice-cream into the baby's mouth.
The baby was a little two or three year old and could talk, possibly walk and interact friendly and, She was a female. This made him wonder what could make a woman, or perhaps her mother, drop her off on this stupid bench?
"Ugh, Stupid Mothers" He said irritatingly for the little girl to hear.
"Sniff..."
Eh? Had he made the cute little girl to cry?
"Mommy's not bad...sniff... She no good too" The little child said with sobs in between and her eyes were watery..
"Ssh, Ssh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, Ssh, don't cry..." The man tried to coax the baby girl but he was no expert with babies whatsoever.
He picked up the crying baby and tried to rock to stop crying.
For some reason, the child was well aware of her mother and her behavior and was probably insecure about it. He felt really bad for the little girl.
Still rocking her, the wind picked up and blew the scarf that was around the tall man's neck over his face.
"Little girl, what's your name?" He asked her.
They had started to walk away from the bench, because of the chilling breeze and decided to go to the man's shelter.
"Abby.... My name is Abby" The little girl said with a slight giggle.
"Hmmm.., Okay-Abby" The man said with a little smile as he put her in his arms while walking.
Though It wasn't just any shelter, it was a large luxurious penthouse that was designed to the man's taste.
As expected of the Jian family descendant in the Business circle of the modern world.
Except, this fearsome man was now cradling a baby as though he was the girl's father when he just met her a few minutes ago.
Well, Pride be dammed.
One thing was for sure-He wasn't just gonna let this cute child stay in the chilly night of Country Q, when he had a very warm and cozy place just right the corner of the main road.
