Chapter 1001


    “Seeing how patient you are, you’re definitely gonna make a great dad in the future” Ms. Simmons


    Charlie chuckled, but didn’t respond. He never expected to grow so fond of Kya. Could it be that he


    was getting old and developed the desire to be a father?


    Charlie found himself slightly ridiculous.


    Ms. Simmons said, “You mind looking after Kya for a bit? I need to go downstairs to do some grocery


    shopping. When Kya wakes up, I cook her something.”


    “Rest assured, I’ll take care of her. Go do your thing!” Charlie responded in a low voice.


    Ms. Simmons replied politely, grabbed her keys and purse, and headed out the door.


    The room quieted down, the afternoon sun warmed the room, creating a serene atmosphere


    Charlie looked down at Kya, who was sleeping soundly and peacefully. He couldn’t help but hold Kya


    tight. Her faint milky scent brought tranquility to his heart


    He gazed down at her for a while, until a phone call interrupted him. He frowned unconsciously and


    immediately hit the mute button.


    He checked the iing call, hung up and responded with a text message.


    After dealing with the situation, Charlie casually looked around the living room. The daisies in the vase


    were starting to wilt, indicating that thedy of the house must be really busy and didn’t have time to


    care for them.


    On the chest of drawers leaning against the wall was a music box shaped like a princess castle. The


    prince and princess, who were once dancing togethet were now separated, each looking at the other


    from a distance.


    Perhaps when the switch was flipped, and the music started ying, they would reunite and start to


    dance again.


    Looking at the delicate castle, Charlie couldn’t help but think of another girl


    Was she doing well? Did she ever think of him? Did she have a boyfriend?


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Being abroad, she needed someone by her side, so she wouldn’t feel alone.


    Charlie couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander. Soon his thoughts shifted back to thedy of the


    house. She had left her daughter with Estelle before, and now even when her daughter was sick, she


    was not at home. It seemed like she didn’t care about Kya atall.


    He heard that Kya’s parents had divorced. The woman must hold a deep grudge against Kya’s father to


    vent her anger on Kya


    Thinking about it, Charlie frowned, feeling even more empathetic towards Kya.


    After doing her grocery shopping. Ms. Simmons chatted with another woman who also had a kid,


    before heading back home. As she walked in, she saw a man leaning back on the couch, seemingly


    asleep, but still holding the baby in his arms firmly.


    The sunlight fell on them, creating a harmonious scene, like they were a real father and daughter


    Not wanting to disturb them, Ms. Simmons quietly slipped into the kitchen.


    Kya had been sleeping for two hours and Charlie had been holding her for the same amount of time.


    Although he dozed off for a bit due to the warm sunlight, he spent most of his time working and replying


    to messages on his phone.


    Kyas fever had subsided. Her forehead was sweaty, which had soaked a patch of Charlie’s grey-blue


    shirt. He didn’t mind at all and gently wiped her forehead with.


    a tissue.


    Around four o’clock, Kya woke up. She looked at Charlie in surprise, and then slowly smiled at him.


    At that moment, Charlie felt a sense of warmth in his heart, like he had acquired something he had


    longed for


    “Kya!” he called her softly.


    “Mister”””


    Kya’s voice was hoarse. She snuggled against Charlie and yawned.


    Charlie touched her little face. “Do you still feel ufortable?”


    Ky sat up, giggled on his shoulder and said, “I feel better now.”


    Charlie lifted up his numbed arm, his joy akin to the arrival of spring after a long winter
