Tears had passed, and 1 was certain that he must have forgotten the stand he’d once dinsisted so ellously,
kure enough, he appeared purriedl to hear my gratitude at first. But then, ha returned in his arrogant self in
Tered in my heart, complete oblivion? Even better?
Stretching my lips in a professional anile, I stared at him coldly with no intention of showing any sign of being affected by his cominanding presence.
Not long ago, I had publicly refused to work with Reed Aerospace at the airport. And now, here he was, with my daughter. One glance at his face, and It was evident that he was pissed off beyond words due to this public humiliation.
1 could clearly remember his controlled anger, the Eandliac expression of his pent–up fury barely contained beneath his profesional facade. But still, he appeared nonchalam, asserting his dominaiver with bis skill of matching his opponent’s energy
He returned my expressions and spoke, his indifferent eyes fixes on me.
“Ma’am, you’re overthinking. Your daughter insisted on coming home with my son to work on their rocket designs.”
What?
He had a son, too
My Jane’s energetic response to my phone call resounded in my head as a little boy emerged from behind Felix, halting my thought process.
His innocent green eyes, brown hair, and fair complexion made him look like a younger version of me; he hace a striking resemblance to my own childhood features-
The people around us noticed this as well, their eyes darting between our faces. Before I could decipher Felix’s reaction to this similarity, that little boy spoke, visibly upset.
“It’s not fair, Jane. I demand a rematch
His adorable pout melted my heart; however, my Jane looked bared, paying no attention to his tantrum. She yawned and then replied to him.
“No, I don’t compete with people who can’t handle losing. Let your dad help you improve instead.”
Jane’s statement riveted that boy to his spot, and after a few seconds, he barst into tears, much to the shock of onlookers.
Although Zoe, that little boy, was Jane’s competitor, she took out’s handkerchief from her small backpack and offered it to him.
“I apologize, please don’t cry!”
I patted Jane on the head. She was really a good girl. Zoe was receiving the handkerchief with thanks when a hurried figure appeared before my sight, pushing Jane aside roughly
Zoe also stopped crying all of a sudden, looking at the woman approaching as she questioned in her shrill voice.
What’s with all this noise?”
The impatience, the hourglass figure, and arrogance–she was none other than Melody
I stood there frozen, enslaved by the dark shadows of my naive era, but my Jane didn’t endure Melody’s rudeness.
She retaliated with full might and showed her back, using the strength of her strong arins,
For a four–year–old kid. Jane was way stronger because she was athletic, practicing with robotics and model rockets had increased her upper body strength and coordination
As expected, Melody didn’t consider my Jane a threat and nearly toppled over by the impact of the push. It was a sight to watch her dumbstruck face. My heart swelled with pride to see my daughter’s courageous side. Indeed, I had raised her right,

Melody couldn’t digest the taste of ber even medicine and stalked towards pane dangerously, pointing has finger at her:
“How dark you brat? banyu yana have any
Well, that wasnt for my patience, as I didn’t give her permission to shout at my daughter, Jane wasn’t that whimissive Orielle who bullying
Staring intently at Melody, I plked up my Jane; she quickly encircled her arms around my neck. My guards alt sensed this tension and surrounded Melody, all set to teach her a lesson if needed.
Melody’s eyes flickered with panic as her face became clulk white. She glanced at Zoe and asked nervondy.
“Who is she. Felix?”
As Zoe was just a kid, I spared him from the grown ups fend nisid responded to Melody
Tam Drielle.”
I smiled at her.
Melody’s lips parted in a silent scream as she took two steps backward, not believing her ears. Her face took a haunted look as if she had seen a ghost.
Well I was indeed a ghost for her, as she had brutally destroyed the old. Drielle. Relishing the multitude of expressions flashing across her face, I deliberately completed my sentence after a dramatic pause.
“Drielle Becker! An aerospace consulting expert Long time no see, Melody.”
Felix stared at me, his expression blank, eyes filled with a mix of shock and something that looked almost like regret.
Satisfied by their heart–attack reactions, I put my daughter down and turned towards Telix, giving him a piece of my mind before leaving.
“Mr. Reed, you should keep your family in check”
Felix grabbed my hand immediately, his eyes reddened. “You are so different now, I almost didn’t recognize you.”
I pushed his hand away in disgust and said coldly. “Then just assume that you have recognized the wrong person.”
Felix wanted to say something more, but was stopped, probably, by my cold expression.
Or rather, my completely new identity made them no longer dare to look down on me as they did before.
As I spun on my heels to leave, I heard Zoe’s cold voice from behind.
“She isn’t my mother!”
