1189 Words
"Daddy, I miss you so much."
"They're gone. Are you sure you want to call me Dad?" Taran interrupted Luna's pretending. He didn't think the little smart girl would be embarrassed.
Luna was stunned, held by Taran. The two happened to be face-to-face with one another. She gave a sweet smile, "You are so handsome! "
Luna was very confident that her compliments was going to win his affection. She had been fascinating these adults over the years! But Taran only raised a slight smile.
"Mister, are you sure you still want to hold me? My mom said never let other men touch me. But you hugged me. I am your responsibility now."
Taran looked at the little doll in front of him; his cold face became a little warmer, "Little girl, your mom said the right thing. I should not let any girl touch me either. How are you going to make up to me?"
Before Luna could think it through, she heard him continue: "You hugged my thigh first. How will you explain this to your mommy? "
Luna listened to him and put up a smile. Mommy said, a lady always keeps her smile in tough situation.
For a moment, she suddenly moved her eyes and thought of something. She gave Taran a kiss on the cheek.
"Mommy also said, a kiss from me can always solve her problem. If one doesn't work, then kiss more."
Luna's words were so sweet that Taran couldn't fake his anger at all. A warm feeling rose in his heart. He just wanted to give the most tenderness to the girl. He did not have this softness before, even with Hayden.
Taran never allowed people to touch his body, especially close-distance physical contact. But when this little angel kissed him just now, he didn't want to reject it at all. Instead he felt warm and grateful. He also felt guilty about faking to be harsh on such a girl just now.
"Don’t do it to strangers, little girl." Taran came to his senses. When he caught the sly smile on Luna's face, he realized that he had been tricked by her, "Why are you alone in the mall? Where are your parents?"
"Hey, you keep calling me little girl! I have a name. My name is Luna." Luna's big eyes never left Taran's face. "Mommy's on a date, so I'm here waiting for my aunt to pick me up."
"A date?"
It was the first time Taran ever heard, a mother would leave her kid in a mall to go on a date. Although he often leaves Hayden at home because of work, but dating? This is way too over the line.
Taran somehow wanted to scold the mother for this failed parenting. How could this person qualify as a mom?
He wanted to say something, only to see Luna staring at the cream pudding store beside him, without blinking.
"Want to eat?"
Luna stared at the screen and licked her lips. She shook her head. "Mommy said, I shouldn’t have too many sweets. But I deserve a treat, after being scared by the bad guys."
It meant that she still wanted the pudding.
Taran chuckled. She is really smart!
Taran walked in the store with Luna in his arms. Ben Carter, Taran’s assistant, who had just rushed back behind him, was shocked to see this.
What is the boss holding a girl in his arm? Wait, is he laughing? He can laugh? Are we still looking for Hayden?
There weren't many people in the dessert shop, but all the attention was on Taran and Luna.
Taran's handsome face was like a prince coming from the castle. Luna was cute like a princess from a fairy tale world.
"Wow, what a handsome dad."
"That little baby looks like a doll!"
Ben was planning to go in and report on searching for Hayden. Hearing the whispers of others, he couldn't help but murmur in his heart. That's because you haven't seen our young master!
But when he saw Luna, his eyes never looked away.
So cute! But the little girl looked familiar.
Ben looked down at the photo on the iPad. The photo was Hayden Mill. At first glance, the two do look alike. It's just that the young master's face was very cold. The little girl in front of him was very happy and satisfied with the desserts. Her eyes were so lit up.
Could she be the boss's illegitimate child?
"Boss, who is this little girl?" he asked boldly.
Taran did not know either. He looked at Luna. For some reason, his appetite was better when watching her eating the dessert with so much joy.
With no answer, Ben stood behind him with a gloomy face. Hayden was gone and Taran was still staying with the little girl to eat dessert.
Luna buried herself in the pudding, glancing at Taran from time to time. She was very satisfied with this handsome man. It would be so nice to take him home. Mommy would be happy too. So she asked boldly. "Do you have a girlfriend?"
"Hm?"
"A girl that kisses you every day!" She seemed to think for a long time before she came up with such a description.
Kisses every day….Taran was lost in words. He had known how unique this girl was, so he would not be that surprised. But Ben, right behind him, choked on himself to hear this. How could a little girl dare to say this to his boss? Isn’t he frightening?
"You are watching too much TV." Taran preached seriously, but at the end he said, "No. I don’t have a girlfriend"
After getting the answer, Luna ate a mouthful of pudding with satisfaction. She murmured to herself, "Very good."
Taran didn't know if she was complimenting pudding or Taran.
"Please, can I borrow your cell phone? I'll call my auntie." After taking the last bite, Luna wiped her mouth with a tissue, very ladylike, and then held out her own chubby hands with impeccable grace.
Taran looked at the serious performance of the little girl and handed over the phone. He tried to make sure Luna was saying the right position when she was making the call. After that, she put the phone back in his hand.
"Thank you for your hospitality, Mr. Handsome. My aunt is here. See, that lady with short hair." Luna jumped off the chair and waved at Taran. Before he could answer, he continued: "I'm leaving. I can't let my aunt see me eating so many desserts. She will tell Mommy. But next time I will invite you to dinner. This is how I make it up to you!"
It wasn't until Luna ran to the hall with her short legs and disappeared into the crowd that Taran came back to his senses and couldn't help smirking: "That’s…..cunning."
Ben was stunned again. Did the boss just let a little girl tease him? And he gave away his private number that easily, after treating that fancy dessert?
Wow. That girl is good. Today is the best day ever.
