Chapter 212 - 212: Real Mother
Chapter 212:
"What are you doing here Arthur?" Evan"s voice was just as cold as his office. Sending shivers to one"s skin.
Arthur blinked once and turned to watch the clouds hovering in the sky through the gla.s.s wall in Evan"s office. It"s so close to getting dark, and just like the first meeting he had with Evan, the man"s face resembled an emotionless statue.
He has been watching him since he helped the twins to escape the bas.e.m.e.nt and until he and Daniella met. It was not a coincidence, the two met because of him and Kierry.
The organization which he started to join from the day he escaped the grasp of Roy Chu, the Black organization who was known by few people and was founded by Kierry"s father.
Unlike before, the organization was no longer under Kierry"s family. Instead, it had become a business. Some countries hired them to be a spy, kill someone or some were just waiting until they were able to finish what they had started and that"s to study and get the chip out of the twin"s brain.
Their goal was destroyed when Elise Su killed Alexandria Chen and when Danny Chen died in the fire, now Daniella"s chip alone was useless that"s why they needed her to bear a child. Her genes were different than any other human, the organization and the scientist working with them believed that her future kids will be able to survive if they have a chip in their brain just like Daniella.
Arthur balled his hands into fists, Evan was not very talkative and he was having a hard time reading his movement. He spent years studying people"s emotion and he could say that he was good at it but right now, the years he spent seemed to have been wasted as he cannot read his action.
Arthur slowly unclenched his fists, a relief sigh sounded from his lips when Evan smiled.
"Just like you asked, I broke up with Daniella. Why are you here?"
Arthur got up, he opened his briefcase and handed him another folder.
"Your friend Ken Chu a.s.signed some people to look after Daniella"s friends. And right now, they are being held captive in the warehouse."
Hearing that, Evan"s face flashed a shocked look. He opened the folder and scanned the pages; he didn"t know them but their faces were familiar. Then he glanced at the phone on his table and suddenly thought why Ken was calling him non-stop earlier.
He gulped hard, stretched a hand to pick up his phone but Arthur stopped him.
"Daniella will only be satisfied with her revenge by doing everything herself. So can you please ask Ken to step aside?"
Evan"s lips twitched, there was something that made him nervous. It could have been the thought of Daniella being in danger or maybe it was because he found out that Ken had someone to protect Daniella"s friends.
His instinct told him to refuse Arthur but no, his hand-picked up the phone and dialled Ken"s number.
When the man answered, he spoke with heavy breathing.
"Evan, where are you?"
"Funny, I was going to ask you the same thing."
Ken was breathing heavily on the other line as if he was running a marathon. By that thought, Evan"s heart pounded. Did Daniella get into trouble and Ken came to rescue her? Was she in danger?
His fingers tapped on the table anxiously, it only stopped when Ken spoke.
"I am in my house, exercising. Did you receive the email I sent you?"
Evan tilted his head in confusion. He peeked a glance at Arthur and cleared his throat.
"I will look at it in the meantime, please remove all the men you hired to follow Daniella"s friends."
Ken narrowed his eyes, he turned off the treadmill and wiped his forehead with his backhand. He didn"t go to the warehouse where Daniella"s friends were locked up as he wanted Evan to do it. Maybe, it will be a way for the two to get back together.
"Alright, I will remove them," he replied and ended the call. He was certain that Evan will go and help Daniella to save her friend.
He shrugged both shoulders and asked one of his men to withdraw everyone. When the man left, Ken took out his phone.
"Glen, can you meet me at Su Villa?"
"Why?" the other line sounded so exhausted and, in the background, Ken could hear Danny crying like a whale.
"Just meet me there and don"t bring Danny with you."
"And where should I leave my son, Ken? His babysitter is on vacation."
Ken went silent, thinking of a way to get Glen without worrying about Danny.
"You can leave Danny to my bar. Don"t worry, I have a bartender there and she knows how to please a man."
Glen"s face poker, he has been dealing with his son"s tantrums for a whole day and Ken suddenly decided to call him and ask him to leave his son to a place full of l.u.s.tful people.
"I will pretend we didn"t have this conversation," he was about to press the end b.u.t.ton when Ken suddenly mentioned the name "Daniella."
"What"s wrong? Is Daniella alright?"
Ken shook his head in disbelief. Seriously, his friends were acting like a bunch of stupid humans when it"s about Daniella.
"Go to the villa and you will know the truth."
Glen breathed out and ticked his tongue repeatedly. He looked at his son who was rolling on the floor crying like there was no tomorrow.
"Find a sitter and I will meet you there."
Ken gasped loudly, how could Glen request that when he clearly knew that he hated women.
"And where would I get a sitter!" he could not help but raise a voice.
Glen giggled, pretty much amused by how short Ken"s patience was.
"Alright, I will meet you there." As he said that, Ken ended the call without a goodbye.
He scoffed in disbelief. When his son yelled once again, Glen got up and stretched a hand.
"We will visit Daniella later. So go upstairs and clean yourself. You wouldn"t want to smell like floor when she hugs you right?"
The boy"s cry suddenly stopped and the whole house became silent.
Danny got up, he sniffed repeatedly and let his father carried him up.
"Can I sleep there?" he asked with a childish voice.
Glen walked towards the stairs, he brushed a hand on his hair and smiled at him.
"I am not sure. It depends on your uncle Evan," by the thought of his friend, Glen"s eyes gloomed.
He was so lonely that he decided to use Daniella"s egg to have Danny but now, the boy was longing for the love of a mother.
His heart gripped as he opened the bathroom door. He bought a big house for his son but despite all the expensive furniture, it still felt desolate.
One by one, he removed Danny"s clothes which were wet from his tears and sweat. He set him down onto the tub and turned on the tap.
"Daddy," his son"s voice drew his senses back. Glen plastered a sweet smile and reached for the shampoo.
"What is it?"
Danny flickered his round eyelashes, and Glen"s smile went broad. He did look like Daniella, especially when he twinkled those round eyes.
"Where is my real mom?"
Glen"s whole body froze, he stayed rooted kneeling on the floor with the shampoo in his hands.
"Is she still alive?" the boy tilted his head in confusion, the pure innocence shone in his eyes.
Glen nodded, and unhurriedly he put the shampoo on Danny"s hair.
"Yes, she is alive but we can"t meet her right now."
Danny scowled, he knew that there"s a reason why he couldn"t meet his mother, otherwise, she will be here, "Is she"s as pretty as aunt Daniella?" he asked instead.
Glen chuckled and nodded, "Yes, and she"s just as smart as Daniella. As sweet as her, and I am sure that she will love you."
Glen was skeptical whether Daniella will love Danny or even accept him but he asked Claire to keep it for now. She has an unfinished business that needed to be done and Evan swore him that they will tell her the truth at the right time.
