Chapter 9 Was his Cousin the Gigolo?
1083 Words
Laurel blinked and glanced at Logan to know what was happening. Wasn't he unwilling to be responsible for their Mom? How could he suddenly hug her?
Logan shook his head in disbelief. He was really smart, but that man's actions were too strange for him to guess.
Because someone suddenly hugged her, Amy froze at her spot. Especially upon seeing Steven’s face which was nearly the same as Logan’s, her mouth was wide open. An egg can be stuffed in the opening.
When she saw Mike that morning she thought that he was the man she was with five years ago. Seeing Steven confused her. Who was the father of her two little children?
Before Amy had a chance to respond, Steven affectionately said, "Boss, I finally found you."
‘Boss?’
Amy looked at Steven unbelievably. "You are... Steven Daniel?"
Steven nodded hard. "Yes, Amy. I am Steven Daniel, your Steven Daniel."
“Oh, I am also the man you were with at the Hotel North Beach five years ago. And we… we have children."
Bang! Amy's shopping bag hit the ground with a thud.
Was it Steven who she was with five years ago?
Logan and Laurel looked at each other. They were now clear about who their father was. It turned out that their father's dream lover, surprisingly, was their mom.
What a coincidence! Very interesting!
The window of the car was open. Mike could hear what Steven was saying. He knew Steven loved a woman deeply in his heart, that he called her ‘boss’. But he didn’t expect Amy to be her.
Mike clutched at his chest hard. He felt even more empty.
Steven never thought about that woman he was with because she was not important to him. At best, he wanted to provide for her. But if Amy was the mother of his children, it would be a gift from heaven to him.
He held Amy more tightly. At that moment he felt so happy as if he had received a big prize. He was so excited that he seemed somewhat incoherent.
"Where have you been all these years, Amy? Why didn't you contact me? You have become prettier. Amy, look at me. I successfully lost weight. Do you think I look handsome? Did I ever tell how much I like you? I think I am so happy. I feel so crazy now. And you are also the mother of my children. Amy! Amy!"
Steven kept calling her Amy time and time again. Amy was a little stunned. She felt it was all a dream. The little fat boy who always had a runny nose had become such a tall and handsome man. What’s more, he’s even the father of her children.
She struggled to come out of his arms with all her might. "I am a little confused now. Let me calm down." She said touching her head.
"All right, Amy. Calm down, calm down." He stepped aside like a servant and kept smiling at her. He always liked her. And she was always so beautiful.
Amy felt uneasy as he was staring at her. She tried to shook off the goose bumps and clear her head, "So you were at Hotel North Beach on June 8, 2012? Don't you have to take a paternity test to know if you are Logan’s and Laurel’s father?"
"No. Our babies and I look alike. They must be my children." Steven excitedly grabbed Amy's hand. These two kids are her children. It must mean they are his children.
"Amy, a single-parent family is not conducive for the growth of a baby. Can we get married quickly and give them a complete home?"
“Get married?” Amy felt her heart tremble. It started beating too quickly. She hadn't divorced her husband yet.
Before she could respond, Logan had already opened his mouth. "Mr. Daniel, don't you have someone you like? My mom has many options. She can’t marry you.”
"That's right,” Laurel spoke to him taking a guarded stance in front of her mother.
If it were someone else they would be ashamed of themselves. But not Steven. He was thick-skinned.
He looked deeply at Amy. With a handsome, evil face and an unprecedentedly serious expression he said, "Amy, I swear to God, the only person I like is you. My heart, my body belongs only to you."
Seeing that she is chewing her lips, he hugged Amy into his arms. He turned towards Laurel and said, "Baby, Daddy likes your mom. Daddy missed her for so many years. So he will take good care of you and your mom."
And then, he added, "Daddy will also buy you a lot of gifts."
"Gifts." Laurel took a gulp thinking about food. She was thinking about several chocolate bars waving at her. "Will you buy me chocolates?"
"Yes. Of course, I will." He nodded hard. "If you like, daddy can buy you all the chocolates from the world."
"Daddy, I love you so much. I want chocolate. Promise me." She gave a kiss to Steven.
Logan was speechless. “Laurel, how can you be bought for a few chocolates?”
“But daddy really like mom. And he admits he is our daddy.”
Steven did not think that Laurel would kiss him. He immediately felt so happy. He thought he might pass out. Does this mean that his children accepted him as their father?
He looked at Laurel, then at Logan, who was softening his attitude, and as well as the girl he loved for so many years. He could not help but feel happy for himself.
He was so happy that tears were coming out. He wasn’t dreaming.
Seeing the happy scene playing outside the car, Mike felt sad. He didn't know if he was sick or not.
Steven turned his face and saw Mike's dark eyes. They seemed to have been stained with thick ink. He then realized that he was so happy he forgot about the man who helped him find his lover and children.
He walked up to the car and said, "Mike, thank you for helping me to find Amy and my children.”
Mike? Could he be the same Mike she met that morning? She couldn't help but walk to his side and peek inside the car. She felt like her head would burst open when she saw Mike Parker sitting in the car.
Steven was talking to the impotent gigolo.
