Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return

Chapter 17: A Beautiful Family

Arriving at The First Diamond Hotel, Samantha hurriedly distanced herself from Ethan Wright.

The idea of a girl in a sweatshirt walking with a tall and handsome man in a custom-made suit just did not sit well with her. She said to Ethan, "Excuse me, Mr. Wright, do you mind... If I get changed first before having the meeting with you?"

She gulped down her own spew right after expressing her words, fearing for what he might think.

"Why are you walking away from me, Miss Davis? We clearly came out from the same car and entered the hotel together. Why are you standing two meters ahead from me?" Ethan probed after seeing Samantha walk ahead of him.

He turned to John and asked, "Is there something wrong with my face, John? Miss Davis seems to be ashamed of me."

While John Garcia turned to Samantha with glaring eyes, Samantha reasoned, "Oh, no! It's not that!"

Samantha wound up chuckling and said, "It's really not that. You just look so great and I - I am sweating all over in my jogging attire. I did not want you to be bothered by it."

She immediately pointed to the lift and asked, "Can I go now and I promise, I'll just take fifteen minutes! Then, I'll be back!"

Without warning, Ethan walked towards her and nearly closed the gap between them. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. He said, "Your sweat doesn't bother me."

Following his declaration, time practically froze when the great Ethan Wright wiped off the wetness on Samantha's forehead.

Everyone else seemed to have zoomed in on them.

From behind the scene, John Garcia thought he was ready to faint!

The receptionists that were working that day, including the same girl who aided Samantha when they first arrived, Cindy, also saw the remarkable scene. They all had their hands over their mouths, seeing how their boss was being affectionate with the new chef!

Aside from the number of eyes that were piercing through her body, Samantha, on the other hand, felt her heart raced. Her eyes widened by Ethan's actions and she found herself gulping repeatedly.

Realizing what he had done, Ethan pulled back his handkerchief and swiftly turned in the direction of the lift, and said, "Let's go."

"Um... to where?" Samantha asked after returning to her senses.

"Let's go to your condo," answered Ethan. "I need to give Kyle his request."

"Kyle?" Samantha asked while hastily following behind Ethan.

While pointing out what John was carrying, Ethan explained, "Your son sent me a message in W******p, telling me how you need an updated windows version."

He glanced at the puzzled expression of Samantha and said, "I figured, you might as well get a new laptop."

Putting his hands in his pocket, he added, "Then, this morning. I thought, since you may be using this for work, it may be better for Kyle to have his own laptop. So I bought him his own."

Samantha practically heaved, covering her mouth with her hands, and said, "What?" After pausing, she stated, "Oh, Mr. Wright. You really did not have to! And since when did my son in contact with

you?"

"Since we met... In any case, I already bought them. The computer shop has a no return policy," said Ethan with his stern expression.

In front of them, John Garcia was utterly bewildered. Edgar never mentioned about a "No Return Policy."

John wound up attempting to correct his boss, "Actually, Mr. Wright, the computer shop - "

"There is a no return policy! I spoke to the owner himself!" Ethan cut off his words, seemingly understanding what John was about to say.

"Right. Right, Mr. Wright!" John's brows furrowed before he said, "Mr. Wright is always Right."

Everything was happening so fast that Samantha could not think of a way to counter the acceptance of the laptops. She thought, 'How in the world am I going to refuse this? This is just too much!'

"You are very generous, Mr. Wright, but," Samantha tried to object.

"Miss Davis, your son looks like me. He deserves to have the best," answered Ethan.

Samantha, "???"

"Damn, boss. I wish I look like you too," John said, but after receiving that usual icy glare, he took back his words. "But of course, I can't be as good looking as Mr. Wright."

Reaching her condo unit, Samantha reluctantly showed Ethan the way. She said, "You really did not have to come up with me, Mr. Wright. I am so ashamed."

"Miss Davis, it is my will to come here with you and deliver the goods ordered by your son... who happens to look like me. Please... say no more," said Ethan.

"Okay," Samantha answered before offering her hand. "I can give the laptops to Kyle."

Samantha practically saw how Ethan Wright's face turned red, seemingly displeased. She guessed he wnated to give the gifts himself!

She gulped, realizing her mistake but before she could say another word, Ethan replied, "Since you drank my water. Can I have a glass of water? I am very thirsty?"

'A glass of water? Doesn't he drink only expensive water?' She felt like she was trapped! She thought, 'Does this man really want to come inside an insignificant house?'

Still, she understood what she must do, and it granted her to open the door. "Of course, Mr. Wright. Please come right in to my humble home."

As soon as Samantha urged them to take a seat from the living room, Kenzie ran in their direction, calling out to Ethan, "Daddy! Daddy! You are here!"

"Hi, Daddy! You brought me the latest windows?" Kyle asked, also running in his direction. ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"I did more than that, buddy," said Ethan. "I bought you and your mom a laptop each!"

"Woah! Daddy is amazing!" Kyle exclaimed. "We'll share this laptop, Kenzie."

"No!" Kenzie turned to Ethan and asked, "Daddy, I want a barbie house doll! A really big one!"

Ethan turned to John and said, "Remember that."

"Yes, sir!" John happily nodded.

Samantha could feel her face flush completely. Even her ears were burning.

While she was so ashamed of how her kids were calling her boss their daddy, she swore she saw a smirk on the man's face! Before she could analyze the situation, however, they all heard a crisp sound of shattered glass and it came from Diana Turner.

"Oh... my... God," Samantha's aunt reacted after dropping a glass down on the floor.

"Um, Aunt! This is my boss, Mr. Ethan Wright," Samantha introduced. "Aunt, do you mind giving Mr. Wright a glass of water?"

"Daddy is mommy's boss?" Kenzie asked with her eyes twinkling as usual. "Oh, so that's why we are secret kids, right Kyle?"

"Right! That's what I've been telling, you Kenzie," answered Kyle.

The entire time, John Garcia was smiling from ear to ear. How his boss faked a thirst to get inside Samantha's home, to seeing the beautiful children of Samantha Davis call Ethan their daddy, completely amused him.

The best part was, Ethan Wright never objected to the children's assumptions!

John was utterly liking the idea of his boss, going down on his knees for a woman, and he felt it might just be Samantha Davis.

"Aww... What a beautiful family, you are," John remarked happily.

Samantha's mouth parted, but was unable to say a word at everything that was going on. After seconds, she instructed, "Kids, please make your daddy comfortable. Let me... take a shower."

She figured they were going to pretend to be a married couple anyway, she might as well use it to her advantage in front of her twins.
