Chapter 84 Knowing Her Father 2
Ana bent down and hugged her “Baby, mummy missed you”
“I missed mummy” Thea's face widened in a cheerful smile. Nobody can tell that she cried so much yesterday until her mother put her to sleep.
Fernando looked down at her in the most loving way ever and smiled when she spoke in her cute voice.
Thea finally noticed someone standing close to her mother and looked up at him.
Her eyes blinked severally when she saw that it was that man. The man her mother said is her father. No wonder they both have the same eyes and nose shame. She was his female version.
Ana looked between both of them.
She had not wanted Fernando to come here but now that he was here she can’t stop him.
“Thea, this is your father”
Thea nodded and was still staring at him.
Fernando bent down to her level and touched her long hair “You are so adorable”
“Can I take you out for brunch?” Fernando asked her.
Thea nodded slowly
Fernando smiled “Can I hold you?” He asked again.
Thea hesitated before nodding. Her mother had told her not to allow strangers to hold her but he was not a stranger anymore he was her father.
Fernando was overjoyed. He hugged her and carried her up then held her school bag for her.
Thea felt overwhelmed. So now she has a father? She thought to herself and felt overjoyed inwardly.
Ana stared at both of them and she suddenly felt like an outcast.
The kids in her class widened their eyes when they saw Thea being carried by a man.
Was she her father? They have never seen her father come pick her up at school before.
Fernando walked her to his maybach and the bodyguard opened the door.
“What place do you plan on taking her “Ana asked since she wanted to make sure it’s not a place where his fiancee will be present.
“To a high class restaurant befitting a princess. You can come with us”
Ana contemplated if to come with them or not. She knows Fernando will take care of her and nothing will happen to her under his care; the only person she was scared for her daughter not to be around was Silvia.
“I don't know if I should since I still have work at the office”
“You should, she is not comfortable around me yet, so you should be there to make her comfortable” Fernando said.
Ana thought about it and what he said made sense.
“Okay, I will follow you behind in my car”
“Why do that when you can join us in same car”
“No I will follow you behind in my car” Ana turned to leave but he held her hand.
Ana looked back at him and her hand he was holding.
“I insist, I want you to join us,” he said.
Ana looked at her daughter resting on his shoulder and noticed she’d been sleeping. That was so quick.
“Fine”
Fernando was satisfied. They got into his maybach and the chauffeur drove off while her chauffeur followed them behind.
Fernando still held Thea placing her head on his chest as she slept.
Ana looked at both of them. She could see the happiness in his face. Fernando was someone that hardly showed emotion but here he was smitten like a child. Blood was surely thicker than water.
They arrived at the five star hotel and Ana was surprised to see that there was no one there.
“Why is the place empty? She asked him.
“Because I booked the whole place”
“Why would you have to do that?”
“To have brunch with my princess,” Fernando said.
Ana was flabbergasted.
They went to the top floor and sat down at a well decorated table like this was already planned.
Ana looked at him “You already planned this before now right?”
Fernando nodded “Yes because I already planned to have brunch with her”
Ana sighed
Fernando still held Thea closely.
The chef came himself to take their order.
“What will you have sir and ma’am ?” The chef asked.
“Ask her what she will like to order for her and our child”
Our? What he said rang in her brain. It seems she will try to get used to freely referring to Thea as their child since she had been the only parent for close to 6 years.
Ana ordered mashed potato and steak and other side dishes. She made sure to order what Thea would like to eat.
Fernando told the chef to give him the same.
The chef left to prepare their meal.
Ana brought out her phone to send a message to the assistant. She was supposed to have a meeting but because she came here now she has to shift the meeting time to tomorrow since it will be dark by the time they leave here.
Fernando kept his eyes on her as she typed on her phone.
He used the opportunity to stare at her as much as he wanted. She was sitting right opposite him so he had that opportunity.
He is glad she has not died and is happy his child is alive and well too. Even if he is still angry that he kept his child hidden from him he was still glad they are both alive and well.
When he wins the love of his child he will make sure to win the love of Ana and because he wants her back in his life. This time not as his fake wife but as his real wife and he is willing to do anything to make that possible.
Ana had felt his gaze on her that she looked up and they bought locked eyes.
She moved her eyes and looked at her daughter still sleeping peacefully in his arms.
She must have been so tired from school to be sleeping.
Something came to her mind and she looked up at him.
“Will you tell Silvia about Thea?” Ana asked him.
“Silvia?” Fernando asked.
“Yes Silvia. How do you explain this to her? How do you plan to explain to her that you cheated on her and because of that a child was born and that it’s with me?” Ana asked.
She was really anticipating his response.
Fernando stared at her for a while wondering what was going through her mind. That was long ago. Yes he had cheated on Silvia while she was still in coma and he did not regret it but Silvia doesn’t deserve any explanation from him because their relationship has ended.
Ana wondered why he was delaying to respond “She is your fiancee so of course you have to tell her?” Ana added. Her heart felt heavy as she asked this question.
Fernando raised his brow “ Fiancee?” He asked .
“Are you asking me that or isn’t she your fiancee? The whole country knows that fact” Ana said to him.
