Denise’s eyes lit up while she stared at Kenneth’s handsome face. When she recalled that he might be her father, her heart was filled with happiness. “With you here, I’m not scared!”

She was so sweet that Kenneth wished for nothing more than her to be his daughter. “If anything happens in the future, call me immediately. You’re too young to know how evil the world is. Your safety is number one, okay?”

When Denise heard his advice, she felt like she was brimming with happiness. “Can I look for you anytime I want?”

“Of course,” replied Kenneth.

“That’s great! I have someone to protect me!” Denise threw her arms around Kenneth’s neck happily.

While Thea watched them from the side, an ambiguous smile played on her lips.

This girl is too good with words. It’s not that I’m treating this child as my rival, but there’s something about her that doesn’t belong to a kid of her age… And she has a familiar vibe too. I can’t put my finger on who she resembles.

“Who is she, Kenneth?”

“The child I met at the airport. I mentioned her to you before,” replied Kenneth.

“It’s her!” Thea smiled before looking at Denise. “Nice to meet you! What’s your name?”

Denise turned around and realized that Thea was standing there. After scrutinizing her from head to toe, she replied coolly, “Denise.”

“That’s a really unique name,” said Thea. “Where are your parents?”

The smile on Denise’s face faded. “I don’t have a daddy. My mommy’s not here either.”

“You don’t have a daddy? Why not?”

“A woman probably snatched him away,” answered Denise with a shrug.

Um…

Naturally, Thea did not know that Denise was referring to her. For a short while, she did not know what to say.

Kenneth interrupted, “Okay, let’s stop talking about this. Do you want to eat something, Denise? I’ll bring you to eat some food.”

“Okay!” Denise nodded.

Carrying her, Kenneth walked forward happily. While Thea stared at their backs, a strange feeling arose within her.

She walked forward and asked with a smile, “Denise, would you like me to carry you?”
