Chapter 766: YOU SEDUCED HIM
Lyle was too focused on his chat with Kia, he didn't even notice his surroundings or Alia who had been crying behind his back because her older sister and father were fighting again. She didn't want this to happen to her family.
Therefore, when Misha spoke, Lyle was so surprised and stared at the young man with wide eyes.
"Watch your words," Misha said coldly. He didn't say anything when Lyle and Kia clashed because he thought Kia needed to express her anger too, only, Lyle's words about Mika were totally unacceptable.
So this was his business now.
Lyle gasped and immediately turned his head toward the source of the voice and how surprised he was to find Misha there. "You… Mr. Tordoff?" said Lyle in confusion.
They had met once at dinner the other day, but he had certainly seen Misha on various business platforms and magazines, his name was also familiar. Who didn't know the Tordoff family?
Misha stared intently at Lyle, his eyes sharp as if they could make him tremble with fear.
"What are you doing here?" he said confusedly.
"Let's get out of here," Kia said in a tired voice. She didn't seem like she wanted to be there and wanted to leave as soon as possible, so before this dispute got any bigger, she wanted to pull Misha away.
Misha need not get involved in her family matters, neither was this the right place to discuss such matters.
However, Lyle couldn't hide his surprise, especially when he saw how Kia touched Misha casually before how his daughter grabbed Misha's hand, and something clicked in his head.
"Don't tell me you're seducing Mr. Tordoff?!" Lyle's anger grew even more fueled because he thought Kia had been in a relationship with Misha Tordoff after she had a child with an unidentified jerk.
"What?" Kia was really shocked when she heard such baseless accusations. She didn't expect that her father would think of her so lowly.
Hey! If anyone here was flirting, it was Misha! He was the one who continued to cling to her even after he was blatantly kicked out.
"Mr. Tordoff, I'm sorry for the behavior of my second daughter," said Lyle in a hurry and what was on his mind was Daniel. His son's career could be affected because this was his son's boss that Kia had teased.
It was a pride for their family when Daniel was successfully accepted into the Tordoff company, which was a dream company for everyone, even people with good experience, it was difficult to be in Daniel's position at that time, especially his son who just graduated, but he succeeded and it was a matter of pride for them.
Especially after Daniel did so well and got a promotion and became so close to Misha Tordoff that he agreed to have dinner at their home.
Lyle certainly didn't want things to get difficult for his son. He didn't want to get his son into trouble, so the first thing that crossed his mind was to apologize.
"She's not a good kid, there shouldn't be any need to be in a relationship with her again," Lyle said embarrassedly because of Kia's actions.
He didn't know what Kia had done to get close to Misha Tordoff, but it certainly wasn't a good thing.
On the other hand, Kia looked lost for words and then glared at Misha. "Did you hear that? You better get out of my sight," Kia said sharply. It wasn't her who wanted this man by her side anyway.
"Kia!" Lyle snapped when he heard how rude Kia had been to Misha Tordoff. He was worried that Misha would be offended and give hard time to Daniel, knowing Kia was his sister. "You're talking too much!"
Unknowingly, he had raised his hand to slap Kia, as this was what he used to do to discipline his children.
"Father!" cried Alia in surprise because her father was about to slap Kia.
However, before the slap landed on Kia's cheek, Misha had held Lyle's hand first and stood in front of her preventing him from hurting Kia. His gaze was so sharp that it made Lyle flinch.
"Mr. Tordoff, you have no idea what my daughter has done, it's a shameful act." Lyle hoped this would save Daniel's reputation in Misha Tordoff's eyes. "There's a very strong reason why she was kicked out of the house."
At the same time, Mika also turned and looked at the old man who was about to hit her mother and hugged Kia's neck tightly. The little girl was crying.
Hearing Mika's sobs, Misha's gaze grew sharper, as if she was going to kill this man in front of him.
How dare he make his little girl cry…
"Misha." Kia pulled the hem of Misha's coat. She couldn't stand being here anymore. "I want to get out of here." Kia tried to calm Mika down, but her daughter seemed too shocked because she had never seen anyone raise their voice at them or been involved in a direct confrontation like this.
Hearing this, Misha took a deep breath and threw Lyle's hand away, as if it disgusted him and then wrapped his arm around Kia's shoulders, taking her away from that place.
But, Lyle didn't give up. He was determined to get Kia to leave Misha Tordoff. Who knew what she would say to Misha after this?
She could say bad things about his family, especially after what happened, she must want to get back at them, right? And get Daniel into trouble at work or even fired from his job.
"Wait, I still have to talk to you!" Lyle cried, he then grabbed Kia's hand and made her turn around.
But right at that moment, he saw the little girl whom he had neglected from the start because he didn't want to acknowledge the existence of the illegitimate child.
And how surprised he was when the little girl hit his hand that was holding her mother's arm.
Mika's punch wasn't hard, how could a three year old kid's punch hurt an adult, but from her angry expression, it was clear that she didn't like anyone hurting her mother.
The little girl did cry, but she wasn't afraid to fight the person who had yelled at her mother and upset her.
And not only that, but the little girl's face… the little girl's face was very similar to Misha Tordoff. Or maybe it was just a coincidence?
People who saw the two of them would immediately notice the resemblance between Mika and Misha. That was why Misha didn't doubt Mika was his daughter even though Kia insisted she didn't allow him to do a DNA test.
Only, Lyle hadn't had time to talk about it when something else happened.
"Dad, calm down… don't…" Alia tried to stop her father from making any more noise and stop hurting Kia, but she felt her chest tighten and her legs go weak. Before she knew it, she had fallen to the floor. She was struggling to breathe, as if something was choking her.
"ALIA!"
Forgetting everything that happened, Lyle immediately approached Alia and supported her.
On the other hand, Misha only glanced at Alia's body which fell on the floor and then turned his focus completely on Kia.
The woman's face didn't show any expression and this seemed to evoke memories from the past. He remembered exactly what this expression was.
This was the expression when Kia found himself with another woman. An expression that was completely devoid of any emotions. She didn't show any emotion at all, as if she no longer had feelings.
And rather than outbursts of anger, this kind of response was far more terrifying.
"Do you want to help her?" Misha nudged her shoulder to turn Kia's attention to himself before he waited for Kia's response.
=========================
"I want to go home now," Kia said, looking at Mika's sleeping face.
Because Alia fainted in the convenience store and had to be rushed to the hospital, they all got into Misha's car because his car was parked closer, while her father's car was parked quite far away.
Moreover, there was no way Lyle could carry Alia. She was no longer a child who could be carried easily and also Lyle was old and not strong enough to do that.
Therefore, Misha was the one who carried Alia into the car and accompanied them to the hospital. He also reserved a room for Alia and asked a specialist to examine her carefully.
But, of course it all happened because Kia asked him, if it was up to Misha, he wouldn't care if he had to walk away from there without feeling guilty, because after all it was not his problem.
However, Kia couldn't let Alia be like that. She knew how serious Alia's condition was and although her dislike for her family was great considering how they hurt her, Alia was not at fault in this.
Kia, in the past, had only been jealous of the attention Alia was getting from the people around her. She had even wished that it was she herself who was sick to get that kind of attention from her loved ones.
And also because they always reminded her that she was very healthy, so there was nothing for her to complain about.
"Let's go home," said Misha, as he then took Mika from Kia's arms.
Only this little girl didn't want to let go of Kia at all. She didn't even want Misha to carry her.
