Chapter 796: MAMA DON'T CRY
Chapter 796: MAMA DON'T CRY
Kia panicked as Misha and Mika didn't come back yet. Various bad thoughts overtook her because she was too hasty to give permission for Misha to take Mika.
What if Misha took Mika away for good? What if he kept her daughter? What if he didn't want to return her? What could Kia do if all that happened?
Would she be able to get her daughter back if Misha did that? Misha had everything and he must be able to come up with a thousand and one ways to separate herself and Mika.
"Kia, calm down," Keira said softly when she saw Kia's face turning pale. "Sit down, you look pale."
Keira then pulled Kia's hand to sit down and gave her a glass of water. This must be because Kia had just talked to Daniel. Because of that too, she seemed more emotional and sensitive, so she couldn't think straight.
"Just call and ask where Misha is first, okay?" said Keira giving advice and Kia felt really stupid for not thinking about it first. How could she think of the worst thing possible?
"You are right…" Kia sighed heavily, because she felt her head hurt a lot, but then she took out her cell phone and called Misha.
======================
"See! I have clothes with pandas on them!" Mika showed Richard her clothes, while Misha sat on the couch, watching his little daughter.
He had a bit of a frown on his face because she was so friendly and cheerful while showing Richard the shirt before himself.
Didn't she know that he paid for all the clothes? Misha thought bitterly.
Meanwhile, Richard couldn't help but sigh deeply, because he was stared at very fiercely by Misha.
"If you put on an expression like that, how could your daughter come to you and show you the clothes she's wearing? Even I don't dare to come closer," Richard muttered. He shook his head helplessly. "Why don't you show him your clothes?" Richard nodded toward Misha, encouraging the little girl to do the same to her father.
The little girl tilted her head and shook her head before whispering to Richard.
"I am scared," Mika said in a low voice, but not so quietly, that Misha could still hear it, which made his expression even more gloomy and Richard grimaced.
"You don't need to be afraid, he is very kind," said Richard encouraging little Mika. "He bought these clothes." Richard said all the good things about Misha, because his career was on the line here.
Mika looked flustered and glanced at Misha and right at that moment, Richard mouthed. 'Smile! You must smile!'
Misha saw that and pulled his lips up into a smile, but it made him look even more unapproachable and Mika immediately shuddered.
Then a woman came over to Misha with the shirt Mika was wearing earlier and had the buttons repaired.
"Come here," Misha said in a gentle voice, waving his hand.
Seeing that her favorite dress was in Misha's hands, Mika couldn't help but walk closer to him and crept at his feet to take her clothes, but Misha lifted her up and sat her on his lap.
"Now your clothes have been repaired," Misha said while dropping the clothes into Mika's hands. The little girl's eyes immediately lit up with pleasure and without her noticing, she hugged Misha and kissed him, while thanking him very sweetly.
"Thank you," Mika said happily, but her words then made Misha frown again. "Uncle turned out to be a really good person."
"Uncle?" Misha furrowed his brows in distaste. "Can you call me a little differently?"
Mika tilted her head.
"Don't we have a little secret that you'll call me daddy when it's just the two of us?" Misha reminded her of their promise. He felt very silly, could this little girl remember that promise?
She was only three years old and there were a lot of things that interested her and a lot more that she would forget because she didn't know what was more important.
But, to his surprise, Mika remembered that.
"But, it's not just the two of us, there are a lot of people here," Mika replied, glancing at the people in the boutique.
Misha smiled cheerfully. "But mom isn't here right? When mom isn't around, it's okay. Try calling me that," Misha said in a coaxing tone.
On the other hand, Richard could only shake his head because he didn't think that Misha would go this far.
"Daddy?" Mika finally called him and made Misha smile. This time his smile didn't look terrible, but then he got a call. On the screen, it showed that it was from Kia.
"Hello, we will be home soon, we didn't do anything." Feeling guilty because he asked Mika to call him daddy without Kia's knowledge, he blabbered out an unnecessary thing, which made Richard want to facepalm himself.
Misha looked guilty. He didn't have to say all those things, did he?
"…"
Misha cleared his throat. "We were at the boutique, Mika's shirt button fell off, so I asked them to fix it."
"…"
What Kia was thinking was the same as what Richard was thinking when she heard that.
"Where is Mika?" asked Kia finally and Misha quickly pressed his phone to Mika's ear.
"Mama!" Mika called Kia cheerfully and told her that she now had a panda shirt. "The panda is very cute and so soft, you should see it."
Mika then pointed the phone at herself, but since it wasn't a video call, of course Kia couldn't see anything.
Misha then changed the call to a video call and Kia was relieved that Misha wasn't lying and they were indeed in the boutique.
"Okay, but can Mika go home now? I miss you."
Mika laughed merrily. "I miss you too, mama."
And after that, Misha told Kia that they would be home soon now.
==========================
Kia couldn't calm down, therefore, she waited for Misha and Mika in the apartment lobby and immediately approached Mika as soon as she saw her little girl walking in through the lobby holding Misha's hand.
Kia immediately hugged her tightly and this made Mika laugh.
"You didn't think I was going to take her away, did you?" asked Misha who walked over to the two of them.
This question made Kia lower her head because Misha guessed correctly and this made the man speechless.
And after that, Kia carried Mika back to their flat, while the little girl continued to blabber about her experience today.
"And daddy bought me this shirt!" Mika exclaimed subconsciously using a title that should be a secret between their father and daughter duo.
"Daddy?" Kia frowned when she caught the word accidentally spoken.
"Daddy." Mika pointed at Misha, who was walking behind Kia.
Meanwhile, Misha stood stiffly, for some reason he was afraid to face Kia's reaction and could only stand there, especially when Kia stopped walking and turned her body around and glared at Misha.
"Daddy? I didn't know you used that word," Kia said coldly.
Immediately, Mika realized her mistake and covered her mouth dramatically. "Mama, don't be angry…" she said while nuzzling Kia's face, to appease her anger.
Kia didn't say anything and just walked straight to their flat and asked Mika to go inside. Together with Keira, she stood right in front of Misha with her arms folded in front of her chest, not allowing Misha to enter.
"Anything you want to explain about her claim?" asked Kia in a calm tone of voice.
Meanwhile, Richard who was walking behind Misha said that he would leave the two of them alone and quickly ran away from the place.
"Mika is my daughter," said Misha. He didn't deny it. Since Kia already knew, there was no use in him lying anymore. "She is my daughter, I do not want her to call me uncle."
"How do you know she is your daughter? I could have been pregnant by another man. You think I have only slept together with you?" Although in fact it was true, Kia did not want to admit it.
Hearing those words annoyed Misha. He had never imagined the possibility, but now that Kia said it, he wanted to finish off the man she had spent a night with.
"Then we can do a paternity test," said Misha in a firm voice. He looked Kia straight in the eyes, even though the girl didn't back down from the confrontation.
"I don't allow you to do a paternity test," Kia said in a loud voice.
"If you don't want to, I can force you to do a paternity test through court," Misha said angrily and immediately realized his mistake.
"Are you threatening me?" Kia gritted her teeth, while looking at Misha. Her emotions were still unstable since she just met Daniel. She tended to get emotional. "I'm not letting you meet Mika again!"
After saying that, Kia then went into her flat and locked the door. From behind the door, she could hear Misha knocking on the door several times and saying that that wasn't what he meant.
But, Kia wouldn't listen to him and just sat behind the door, her head felt like it was going to explode and she didn't know what she was feeling anymore, now she was in an emotional mess.
Mika, who saw her mother crying, immediately approached her and was about to cry too.
"Mama, don't cry," Mika said, sobbing. She did not know what was going on, but because her mother was crying, she also started crying.
