Chapter 19 I Wish to Have a Father

• "Zoey, why can't we go up?"
• Zoey saw Elio and panicked. What if Mr. Jacquin sees him?
• "Elio, why are you here? Go back to the restaurant and wait. Otherwise, the restaurant staff would think I left without paying!" Zoey pushed him to leave.
• "Did something happen to my mother? I want to go upstairs and check on her." Elio reached for the elevator button.
• Zoey rushed to stop him, and the elevator door opened at this moment.
• "Zoey." Mia stepped out of the elevator with a smile. She was dressed in a pink and lacey princess dress.
• Zoey glanced into the elevator and was relieved to find it empty.
• "Mia, is mommy still upstairs? Why didn't she come down with you?" Elio held Mia's hand. His boyish face was full of concern.
• Mia chucked and fluttered her lashes delightedly. "Elio, people always say we are fatherless. I want to have a father too."
• Zoey was stunned. Is Roxana together with Mr. Jacquin… I hope she can find a more reliable man.
• It doesn't mean Mr. Jacquin is unreliable, but he is involved with too much tabloid news. There is always a rumor about him with different women, and he couldn't even remember how they looked. It is clear that he has low regard for women.
• "Mia, I wish for a father too, but why should we want one if he mistreats mommy? Once I'm older, I can protect you and mommy." Elio spoke like a miniature adult and patted Mis's shoulder.
• Mia pursed her lips for a while before nodding. "Elio, let's go and see mommy."
• "Sure." Elio reached for the elevator door again.
• Zoey panicked and reached for Elio's hand. "Elio, let's go home. Your mother will be fine."
• It would be disastrous if Mr. Jacquin sees Elio!
• Although they are not related, they look almost identical. People might think…
• But before Zoey could stop Elio, he had already entered the elevator with Mia.
• Meanwhile, in a luxurious suite on the eighteenth floor, Roxana accidentally bumped into Damien's embrace, sending her gentle and feminine fragrance into his nostrils.
• "I'm only asking you to write a proposal. Do you have to move around so much?"
• Roxana looked up suddenly and bumped against his chin.
• Damien did not wear a shirt. Since it was summer, Roxana's clothes were quite thin. Thus, being so close to him made her skin tingle.
• Damn it!
• "You are going to open your shirt buttons if you keep moving." Damien glanced down at her chest area.
• Roxana looked down, too, and immediately turned pale. It turned out her buttons had already loosened.
• Damien let go of her and expressed his suspicions, "You have fair skin on your body. Why is your face sallow?"
• Roxana turned away from him and buttoned her shirt immediately. "It's none of your business!"
• He is still shameless even after five years!
• Her words reminded him of someone, causing his gaze to darken.
• "Does this mean you will only let me go once I finish the proposal?" Roxana looked up at him. One could not bear to look away from the arrogance in her eyes.
• Damien leaned against the table with his arms crossed and answered unhurriedly, "Yes."
• "Can you put on your clothes? I find it distracting and affects my ability to write." Roxana glanced at him before quickly looking away.
• Damien sat in a chair and watched her doing research on the Web. The seriousness and concentration in her eyes made him forget her ugly face.
• Why did I remember her? Tyler said I have face blindness. Of all the women I've met, I can only remember my mother and …
• But why do I remember Wynter's face when I have only met her once?
• She is Wynter and not Roxana.
• "There is too little information on the Web. Can you send me the emails from the business planning department? There should be a lot of information there."
• After hearing her, Damien smiled and deliberately made things difficult for her. "What if I say there is none?"
• "None?" She laughed mockingly.
