SOME THINGS ARE MEANT TO BE

CHAPTER 93

“I wish.” Anton made a face of resentment. “But it is k********g people. Little girl,” he teased the little girl in his arms, “don’t run around with strangers, alright? Not everyone is as good-looking and kind as your uncle.” Upon saying those words, Anton put down the cute little doll in his arms reluctantly. He wanted to hold her for a little longer, but he would have to return her to her parents eventually.

He placed his hand on Raya’s head. “Remember, don’t listen to strangers. Don’t follow them and don’t take food from them—just like that ugly guy just now.”

Raya nodded her head lightly. “Okay. The ugly uncle is a bad person. Uncle, you are not a bad person.” She lifted her small face. Children generally like those who are good to them and dislike those who were bad to them.

“How do you know that Uncle isn’t a bad person? Maybe Uncle is?” Anton pointed to his face. He was rather happy to be described as a good person.

Raya’s lips cracked into a smile, and it lifted like jelly. “Uncle’s eyes look a lot like Aunty’s.”

The corners of Anton’s lips twitched. So this little girl meant that he looked like a female?

“Aunty is a good person so she looks at Raya like that.” She said slowly and patiently upon seeing Anton’s face turn blacker.

Anton rubbed her head again, almost messing her hair up into a bird’s nest.

He finally understood what she was trying to say.

He almost spat out blood. He was a true man—even though he was together with the guy. He did not look like one, but he was still a genuine man with three legs.

“Let go of her.” Anton was about to retract his hands when he heard a voice even colder than Harri’s.

A man walked towards them slowly.

Raya raised her head up forcefully. When the man got closer, her long eyelashes blinked once. She knew this uncle. He was the one from the hospital.

Toomas walked over and directly bent down to pick up the little one. She did not know how dangerous the situation was. If her mother lost her, she would never live.

Toomas held the child and turned towards Anton, both their eyes holding scrutiny of each other.

“Sir, you must be mistaken. We were just passing by and saw a man trying to take this little girl away, and we happened to lend a hand. We have no ill intentions.”

Anton explained calmly, retreating to Harri’s side. They did not do anything against their conscience, so they had no reason to feel guilty.

Raya nodded her head vigorously, but she placed her cheeks against Toomas’s body. Her mother had said that the man holding her was a good person, so he must be a good person. Her mother would never deceive her. Raya did not let bad people hold her, but good people could.

Raya’s actions made Toomas believe Anton’s words. They had indeed saved Raya. This child was much smarter than other kids.

“Thank you.” Toomas hugged the child in his arms more tightly, but there was an uncomfortable feeling in his heart. If not for them, the woman would probably have lost her child.

“Oh, no problem. Your daughter is very cute.” Anton chuckled, his stomach twisting. When he saw the little girl bury her face into Toomas, he automatically thought that they were father and daughter.

Daughter? Toomas raised an eyebrow calmly, but he didn’t correct him.

“Let’s go.” Harri spat out the words blandly and then turned and walked away. Anton waved at Raya.

“Bye, angel.”

Raya then raised her face from Toomas’s arms and reached her little hand out to wave.

“Bye, aunty-uncle.” A voice as sweet as sugar rang out.

Anton’s body jerked suddenly, and he almost fell. What kind of a name was aunty-uncle? He wasn’t a woman.

Rich male laughter shook his eardrums. He looked up to see the laughter in Harri’s eyes. He was making fun of him. He dared to laugh at him? He actually dared to?

This darn man. It was all his fault he became like this.

Toomas pressed his lips together and looked at the two men. He could even feel that the two men were not just friends.

If not brothers, then lovers.

However, this was none of his business. He had never shown interest in other people’s businesses, and now, the little one in his arms was more of his concern.

“Where’s your mom?” He looked down at the cutie in his arms. This child was really good-looking. No wonder someone would abduct her.

“Mommy went to send things, and she asked Raya to wait here,” Raya answered in a baby voice. This was different from her mother’s hug. This uncle carried her body weight completely, and she loved it.

Toomas went to the side without putting the child down from his arms, feeling a little displeased. That woman was not worried, but even if the child was obedient, it was hard to prevent people from trying to take advantage of her.

“Uncle, is my doll pretty?” Raya held her doll up and showed it to Toomas, the smile on her face as cute and lovely as a flower.

Her smile was extremely innocent.

“Very pretty.” Toomas was not stingy with his compliments. He touched the doll with his fingers. This was a limited edition doll, and it was extremely expensive. A woman who needed to sell blood for money could not possibly afford to buy such an expensive doll for her daughter.

“Who bought this for you?” Toomas asked probingly.

“It’s Mommy.” Raya hugged the doll to her chest like it was her baby. She was her mother’s baby, and the doll was her baby.

Sure enough, it was her. He leaned against the wall. He had better wait for the woman to come back to prevent the same thing from happening again.

This little girl’s body was soft and fragrant and seemed to be very fun. He was beginning to like the feeling of holding her.

...

Julianna wiped the sweat across her forehead. She started to run forward. She had to carry those things up six floors, which made her tired with no strength left. However, she was still thinking of her daughter and was worried. She really did not know whether leaving her there alone was the right thing to do, because she was still so little.

When she saw a man holding her Raya, her heart almost stopped.

“Raya!” Her hoarse voice sounded weak due to her breathiness.
