Chapter 738: OVERDID
“I want to meet the manager 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.Those words of course not only shocked the woman in front of them, but also Richard. What did Mr. Tordoff mean? Was he so offended that he wanted to sue this place? But, that would be far-fetched, right?
The charges that would be made would sound unreasonable.
“What do you want to do?” asked Richard carefully, for he could sense that Misha was not in a good mood right now. “Mr. Tordoff, we better get back to the office, you have a lot of work to do.”
But, Misha pushed Richard aside and approached the woman, whose face was now red. Only now did she realize how handsome this man was. And, she didn’t even know who was in front of her.
Of course the Tordoff surname was very well known, but seeing this man’s handsome face up close made her forget everything.
“Yes, what is it about?” she stammered, no longer looking arrogant or even trying to threaten Misha, because she was in awe right now.
“What’s your name?” Misha asked in a demanding tone, but this only made the woman feel even more unable to resist the charm of this handsome man in front of her.
“My name is Grace,” she said in a low voice and Richard could only shake his head. How come Misha could always have this kind of effect on every woman?
But, then he thought of Kia and Mikaela, well, except for those two girls…
“I want to meet the manager of this daycare.” Misha explained briefly, but he didn’t say what the purpose of asking to meet the manager was.
“What for?” asked the woman named Grace. She had to know exactly what they were going to talk about first.
========================
Kia walked very fast when she finally managed to free herself from Misha’s grip. She did not expect that the man would come to the daycare where she left Mikaela.
Why was he there?
There was no way it was a coincidence. It was no coincidence since it concerned Misha, after all what business did he have in that cheap daycare?
There was no way he just happened to be passing by nor was it impossible for him to not know anything about Mikaela. Especially now.
Kia then looked at her daughter who was eating her lunch voraciously. Because of Misha, they were late for lunch and Mikaela was very hungry now.
“Mommy, who was that man?” Mikaela asked, she then reached for her glass and Kia helped her to drink, because this glass was too big for her. “Mika doesn’t like him.”
Kia grimaced when she heard this, but then she smiled at her daughter. “If Mika doesn’t like him, there’s no need to see him again.” She then wiped Mikaela’s lips with a tissue, while the little girl continued eating again.
“Mika’s hair is already long, do you want to cut it?” Kia asked, touching Mikaela’s curls. Actually, she was a little bothered by this child’s long hair, because it required extra attention which was not something she could afford now. She herself chose to cut her hair short, because it was much more practical and less troublesome.
Kia could save a few minutes of time doing other things.
But, Mikaela looked at her mother with a frown. “Mika likes Mika’s hair,” she said. “Don’t cut.”
“Okay, no need to cut it then.” Kia sighed. She herself liked her daughter’s long and curly hair, but since Mika was against cutting it short, of course she wouldn’t force her. “When we’re done, let’s go home, okay? Mommy has to leave for work early.”
As their needs grew, she also had to earn more money, so she took extra shifts at work.
But, with that, it became hard for her to spend longer breaks with Mika now. But, that was the consequence, wasn’t it? She must provide a decent life for her daughter.
Mika was silent for a moment then nodded, answering in a small voice. “Okay.”
After Mika finished their dessert, they then went back to their apartment, where Mika would stay behind with Keira, Kia’s roommate, while Kia would leave for work.
=============================
“Mr. Tordoff, I don’t think this is the right step to take,” said Richard after Misha finished speaking with the person in charge of the daycare where Mikaela was placed.
Richard had been holding himself back from giving advice, but once it was only the two of them in the car and no one else was around, he couldn’t help but say what was on his mind.
“This may seem out of line, but I think you need to hear this,” Richard said carefully. He then glanced at Misha through the rear view mirror, through which Misha was looking at him very intently now and this made the middle aged man feel the urge to swallow back the suggestion he wanted to give.
“What do you want to say?” Misha asked coldly. The image of Mikaela slapping his hand was still vivid in his memory. He didn’t expect his little daughter to do that.
Of course the hits didn’t hurt, but it left an imprint on his heart.
“I think you will surprise Ms. Kiandra with what you intend to do to the daycare,” said Richard.

According to him, it would be better to approach Kiandra slowly, establish a relationship with her and talk about Mikaela’s problems first.
And also according to him, Misha’s actions looked very forward and at one glance, Richard knew that Kia would not like what Misha did for their child.
Of course, Richard understood that Misha’s intentions were good, but their relationship was too complicated and things should be discussed before he took such drastic actions.
“I’ll see her again tomorrow,” Misha said calmly. “Now start the car and we’ll be out of here soon.”
Richard had already guessed that Misha wouldn’t want to hear what he was suggesting, so therefore, there was no longer any reason for him to say anything else. And so, he started the car and drove off immediately.
Misha would realize his mistake later when Kia had shown her fangs for what he did.
=======================
“What’s with your face?” Keira asked. She was watching the evening television show she liked, while Kia had just come home from work. She felt like her body was going to crumble from being too tired.
However, this was a good thing too, because she could stop thinking about Misha and the events of this afternoon. She hoped that her fears were unfounded and whatever strange reason he had for appearing in the daycare, it would be the last time for her to see Misha, because she really didn’t want to see him again.
“What about my face?” Kia asked while sitting beside Keira and taking a bite of the cake in her hand.
Keira was someone who worked in the IT field, where she had flexible working hours and was more often at the apartment. Kia was really grateful she met Keira three years ago when she had just given birth to Mika.
It was Keira who had always helped her and now the two of them have become friends, but unfortunately, within the next six months, Kia had to find another place, because Keira would move out of their apartment because she was getting married.
Of course Kia was happy that her best friend was happy, but even until now, she didn’t know what the future held for her. Because there would be no one else to watch over Mika when she wasn’t around. She had to think about it from now on…
“You look tired,” said Keira and this made Kia laugh.
Mika must have slept two hours ago after Keira read her favorite fairy tale book, even though the story had been repeated dozens of times.
“Of course I look tired, I just got home from work,” Kia said as she leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes. She was really feeling very tired.
“No, you look tired and upset,” she said, then turned her attention from the television screen to Kia. “Are you alright? Nothing happened today, right?”
Huh. Keira reminded her again of Misha with this question. Yes, indeed Keira was very sensitive, she would always realize when Kia’s mood was not good, but this time she didn’t want to talk about it.
“Nothing,” Kia replied in a low voice.
For a moment, Keira stared at her, but then she turned her attention back to the television program she was watching. “Okay.”
And with just that, Kia spent ten minutes together with Keira and then cleaned herself up before she lay down beside Mika and hugged her daughter’s small body.
She kissed Mika’s cheek gently so as not to wake her up, only then did she sleep very soundly.
The next morning, when Kia took Mika to the daycare, she had a bad feeling. She was afraid that Misha would come to Mika again, but she had no other choice.
Along the way, Kia thought about what she should say to the daycare when Misha reappeared, but it seemed that all the conversations she had imagined she would have had just been forgotten when she saw the state of the daycare.
“What was this?” Kia exclaimed with wide eyes. She was sure that yesterday the daycare wasn’t like this. So, what really happened to it now?
Kia even thought she had come to the wrong daycare and was about to walk back, but no, it was the same daycare.
Meanwhile, Mikaela’s face lit up when she saw this place. “Did we come to a new place?” asked Mika enthusiastically.
