Chapter 737: SHE HIT HIM
Chapter 737: SHE HIT HIM
“What happened?!” the woman asked as she ran to Mikaela who was being hugged by her mother protectively. Her eyes turned to the strange man who appeared in this daycare and also another man who was briskly approaching them.Meanwhile, Misha still couldn’t find the right words he could use to greet Kia. Four years had passed and this was the first time for them to meet. He didn’t know the right words to say.
‘Hello’, didn’t seem like an appropriate greeting for a time like this. ‘How are you?’ didn’t sound right as the impression was very stiff. ‘Is that my daughter?’ No. That question should not be used as a greeting sentence.
Therefore, Misha didn’t say anything and just looked at Kia, who seemed to remember him and was now looking at him with disbelieving eyes. She was wide-eyed, but her jaw was clenched tightly.
Her expression was the same as all those years ago. Why didn’t she say anything? Was she going to leave again without saying anything now?
Why was she always like this? At the very least, she had to show that she was very angry and Misha didn’t even mind if this woman wanted to curse him. An opportunity that would not be granted for others. But then again, who would be brave enough to curse at him when that person would be scared shitless even when he just looked at him.
“Mommy,” Mikaela called, wrapping her small arms around Kia’s neck and hiding her face in the crook of her neck and shoulders. She looked so cute with her long, curly hair touching Kia’s face.
“What is this?” asked the young woman who had just come from the direction of the building, as she looked at the two of them. “Oh, Ms. Kiandra, you just came.”
Kiandra then turned her attention to the woman who had just approached her and gave her a very cold gaze.
“Where have you been?” she asked very sharply. She looked at the woman with eyes that could make you lower your head in fear. Kiandra was very angry right now. “How could you leave my daughter with a stranger?”
A stranger?
Misha frowned at the ‘offensive’ label she plastered to his face, even Richard grimaced when he heard it. Even he felt very bad even though it was not him that Kiandra meant.
This girl seemed fiercer than she looked. She could scold this woman while making Misha feel uncomfortable.
“Oh, that… I’m sorry, because you’re late and I have work inside that I need to do…” The woman didn’t have time to finish her sentence when Kiandra cut her off.
“Is that a good reason to leave my daughter unattended outside?” Kia asked sharply. She looked much fiercer than usual.
However, Misha couldn’t say that because he didn’t really know Kia on a personal level, because their relationship only lasted for one week.
“Mika is a very calm child, so I left her for a while,” said the woman again apologetically.
“Don’t you think this stranger could be a kidnapper and Mika would have disappeared by now? If Mika didn’t scream, then you wouldn’t know what’s going on here either, would you?” Kia was getting annoyed. She looked at the woman fiercely and made her look down in fear while muttering her apologies.

She became negligent because she found Mikaela very quiet and not a fussy child. She would be left in one place and wouldn’t go anywhere even if you came back a few minutes later, therefore, she became a bit lax with this little girl.
But, of course she realized this mistake.
While Kia, after a long time Misha had not seen her, she looked very fierce, her face showing how hard of a life she had to live the last few years. There was no shy smile or blush that she showed when Misha first saw her.
Instead, she looked like a very tough woman, who had gone through all kinds of problems in life and was still able to stay strong and stand strong.
“I don’t want something like this to happen again,” Kia said firmly, she glared at the woman one last time and walked away from her with Mikaela in her arms.
On the other hand, Richard couldn’t help but steal glances to see Misha’s reaction being referred to as a stranger continuously and was quite surprised to see the man seemed to be okay with the tag, although at first he looked quite surprised, even he was quite fascinated by how fierce Kia was now.
“Kia,” Misha called as she was about to walk away. He grabbed Kia’s arm to make her stop walking.
“Sorry sir, but looks like you have to leave,” said the woman, when she saw how much Kia disliked this foreign man. She wanted to win Kia’s heart again after the mistake she made.
After all, Kia was right, if this foreign man was a kidnapper, then things could be very serious.
Only, before she tried to stop the two of them, Richard had approached her and mediated the matter.
“It’s okay, they both know each other,” Richard said to the woman, blocking her from approaching Kia and Misha who were arguing now.
But, of course she didn’t believe him. “Do you know him, Ms. Kiandra?” she asked to be sure.
On the other hand, Kiandra glared at Misha. Coldly and without taking her eyes off the man, she replied, “No. Absolutely no idea.”
Misha frowned when he heard this. It seemed, the matter was far more complicated and difficult than he had imagined.
After that, Kia tried to release Misha’s grip on her arm, only, the more she tried, the tighter his grip became.
Misha didn’t say anything either, he just held it in and looked at Kia, as if he was thinking what to do and say next.
Meanwhile, Richard who saw the scene became more and more frustrated. Shouldn’t Misha have thought about the actions and words he would say later, why was this boss of his like sitting around, doing nothing?
“Let go of my arm,” Kia said so firmly, it even made Richard wince when he heard her cold voice.
“We need to talk,” Misha said at last, but he didn’t let go of his grip on Kia. He didn’t even realize that his grip had started to hurt her.
“I don’t know you,” Kia said in the same tone. She stopped struggling because her arm hurt and Mikaela had grown bigger, not to mention, she was very tired. Therefore, she didn’t have the energy to just talk or serve Misha.
At first, Kia was quite surprised to see Misha here, but now, the only thing she wanted to do was stay as far away from this asshole as possible.
“You know me,” Misha said forcefully. “We need to talk.”
“Get your hands off me,” Kia demanded. But, Misha didn’t listen at all. “It hurts,” Kia said again.
However, still, Misha didn’t let her go, because in his mind, if he let go of Kia now, this woman would soon leave his sight, which was exactly what Kia had in mind.
But then, Misha was quite surprised when a small hand gently patted his hand.
“Let go,” said the little girl in her childish but firm voice. Her cute face contorted as she glared at Misha fiercely. “Let go of my mommy.”
Mikaela then hit Misha’s hand which was holding Kia’s arm again, she tried to hit it with all her might, but Misha didn’t feel anything at all.
However, he was quite surprised that his daughter hit him like that and then let go of Kia’s arm and the woman moved away.
“Don’t worry mommy, I will protect mommy from that bad guy,” said Mikaela, before she buried her face in the crook of Kia’s neck again.
On the other hand, Richard felt like he was about to have a heart attack hearing what Mikaela said. The little girl was only three years old, but her vocabulary was already quite impressive.
Even more so with how she called Misha a bad person. Slowly, Richard then looked at Misha who seemed to be still in shock after hearing what Mikaela said earlier and stared at Kia leaving, without saying anything.
Misha just stood there silently, staring at Kia’s figure which was getting further and further away from them.
Meanwhile, the woman Richard prevented from interfering in Misha and Kia’s matters, broke this silence.
“Who are you really? What are you guys here for?” asked the woman suspiciously. She looked at the two men warily. “If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the authorities,” she threatened.
And of course that made Richard panic, because all he knew was; Misha didn’t really like to hear a threat against him.
It was just that, for now it seemed Misha couldn’t afford to pay much attention to this because he was now looking at the hand that had been hit by his own child, it seemed he was really in shock right now.
He didn’t say anything and just stood still.
“Mr. Tordoff, looks like we have to get out of here soon,” Richard said as he approached him and spoke in a low voice to him. “We can visit this place some other time.”
For a moment, Misha didn’t respond, but then he turned his attention to the woman and said in a cold tone.
“I want to meet the superintendent of this place,” said Misha and this was of course beyond Richard’s expectations. He didn’t know what was going through Misha’s mind right now.
