Chapter 392 - [Bonus ] GAME OF LOVE (02)
On the other side, Fraine walks into the hallway, pushing her small luggage. Most of her bags were already brought by a hotel boy, but she preferred to carry this luggage as it has important documents inside.
"Mommy Fraine!"
Fraine was surprised when a six-year-old girl rushed toward her and tightly hugged her waist.
"I missed you, mommy Fraine."
Fraine softened her gaze and squatted down to return a tight embrace to the little girl that was fond of her. "Hello, Sam."
Sam parted from Fraine; she looked at her with teary eyes as she asked,
"Mommy Fraine, when are you going home?"
Fraine was stunned for a moment.
She could feel a pang inside her heart upon seeing those tiny tears rolling down on Sam's delicate cheeks.
Fraine carefully wiped them, and before she could reply to the little girl, someone spoke behind Sam.
"Samantha, you shouldn't have done that. It's not nice if you suddenly run toward someone, and you can knock them down or startle them."
Fraine notices when Sam's body stiffens and slight fear flashes in the little girl's eyes. She looked at the man speaking just now. Fraine didn't hide her displeasure at Christian, but soon she replaced her expression with emotionless and averted her eyes.
Still, Christian only reminds his daughter of proper manners. Fraine stood up from squatting and straightened her back. On the other hand, Samantha turned around and lifted her head to search for her dad's face to see his expression.
"I'm sorry, daddy," Sam muttered, then lowered her gaze to the floor, staring at her pink doll shoes.
"You're supposed to apologize to Fraine, not to me."
Before Sam could turn around to face Fraine, she had already raised her two hands and gestured in the air.
"No. That's okay, and it's unnecessary. Besides, I am totally fine," said Fraine. 'He's putting pressure on his daughter!'
"Fraine, I am spoiling my daughter, but there are things she needs to learn and understand."
Fraine wanted to argue with Christian, but she had no rights over him as Samantha's father. However, it could not hinder her from coaxing the little girl.
She pursed her lips into a smile, then ran her hands over Sam's head.
"It's alright. You just missed me, right? I missed you too! I'm sorry if I haven't spent more time with you in the past two days."
When the Dale family arrived in Dream City three days ago, Fraine was actually hiding from the Lopezes, including Zayn and Rodney. Also, she doesn't want to bump into their mothers, so she stays in her hotel suite.
Instead, she worked on her reports to submit to her bosses before heading back to P Country.
"Mommy Fraine, I will not miss you like this if you will go home with us. I promised to behave!"
Drained has rendered speechless as after Sam said this, she strode toward her dad and tugged his hand.
She demanded, "Daddy, please tell mommy Fraine to come home with us."
Christian blinks his eyes in dazed as he tries to maintain his composure while staring back at his daughter.
Flashes of frustration pass in his eyes as he is unsure how to explain that Samantha would understand.
Christian lifted his gaze and cast an apologetic look at Fraine before responding to Samantha. He stretched his left hand and held his daughter's frail shoulder.
"Sweetheart, Fraine has a lot of work to do. She can't visit us just like that."
"Then why didn't she just leave her work and be with us?" Samantha pouted.
Christian stared at his daughter helplessly. He hissed inside his heart when his eyes caught his grandfather looking at him with a scolding look. The chairman's face was expressing, "Don't underestimate this old man's judgment! Now, look at you? I won't help you anymore!"
He could imagine his grandpa laughing evilly inwardly. Christian shook his head and shrugged at the thoughts.
Heaving a long sigh inwardly, he controls his lips, not twitching them in front of his daughter when she looks at him with so much expectation he will convince Fraine.
Samantha might have misunderstood him when he wore a scowling facial expression, which was actually for his grandfather, who is annoyingly grinning at him from a short distance.
"Miss Michaels!"
Christian regarded the two men walking toward them.
Fraine turned her head toward that voice that called out to her. Upon seeing them, Fraine instantly parted her lips into a smile and greeted them politely.
"Good afternoon, Doctor Ben, Doctor Derek."
"Hello, Fraine! It's been a while since the last time we saw each other!" Doctor Ben had his typical friendly smile to anyone he talked to. Probably because of the nature of his work, he developed such a warm attitude.
Fraine replied, "Indeed, Doctor Ben."
Doctor Ben Ryan is her private physician, while Doctor Derek Williams is the one who created her medicines and attended to her timely treatment.
He is a prodigy. A genius scientist who breakthroughs science, discovering medicine for a rare case illness that no human ever successfully researches for an advanced and effective cure. But of course, it comes down to such fortune that she works harder.
Fraine was very grateful to have these two doctors, who were charming and handsome, above all are wealthy men as well!
Rodney, who saw Fraine with Christian in the corridor, rushed in. But then, these two doctors approached Fraine.
He got jealous as Fraine looked at these men dreamily. Her eyes lit up, and even her lips pursed a smile that was too rare for her to show to him. Instead, Fraine only frowned at him all the time.
"See you next month, Fraine." Doctor Derek reminded Fraine of her treatment.
After that, he and Ben bid farewell.
"President Lopez." Doctor Derek nodded at Zaijan, who appeared behind Rodney, whom the guy stiffened his back and didn't show interest in looking behind him.
Zaijan nods at the two doctors before he fixes his gaze on Fraine.
The three men sneered as they grumbled inwardly, 'They were already married! So stop drooling at them, Fraine!'
Samantha looked around when the adults remained silent. Then she was elated the moment she saw someone hiding from her dad.
"Raine!"
Raine quickly pulled her hand from Zayn and met Samantha halfway, who ran toward her.
The two girls who hugged each other like two sisters didn't meet for a long time, whispering in their ears, then giggled after, causing the adult to be curious about what they were talking about.
However, the four adults were more concerned that it has an awkward atmosphere surrounding them at this very moment.
Fraine is bathing in a cold sweat as she shifts her gaze from Christian to Rodney and Zayn.
Meanwhile, Chairman Dale elegantly holds his teacup and sip on it demurely. His legs crossed as he leisurely lounged on the sofa while his eyes didn't leave the four people a few meters away from him.
"Hobert, you should also order some tart or cupcakes to pair with our tea." Chairman Dale nudged Hobert Lee, who was seated on his left side.
Hobert crossed his long legs, copying the chairman, leisurely resting his back on the sofa while he sipped his tea with sophistication.
"Chairman, if I left now. I might miss a beautiful scene."
Chairman Dale only grinned and didn't scold Hobert.. As excited as this assistant, he patiently waited for a drama to play.
