Everly's face paled when she heard Henry's voice. She quickly took off the blindfold. The man standing before her was none other than Henry.
She stuttered, "W-WWhy … are y-you here?"
Henry smiled. "I've been missing you every day you've been gone, Ms. Hilton. It seems like you're having a good time on the island. Have you forgotten about me?"
The maids read the situation and quickly left. The two children didn't know what was going on. They stared at Henry with their bright, round eyes.
Under the innocent gaze of the children, Henry had no choice but to suppress his impatience and let go of Everly.
"You're Zack, and you're Alicia, right?"
The two children looked at him with docile expressions. Suddenly, Alicia blurted out, "Dad?"
Henry was amused. He crouched and picked her up. She was like a cute kitten looking for its parent.
"Dear child, I'm not your dad. Don't be mistaken."
Disappointment flashed in Alicia's eyes. Where was their father?
Henry played with Alicia for a short while. The affection in his eyes was apparent.
Everly looked at him in shock. She recalled a conversation she had with him when they just started dating.
She had asked him naively if he liked children, and his answer had been resolute.
"I don't like children. They're annoying."
Then, he put down the magazine he was reading and looked at her.
"Ms. Hilton, you're a smart woman. You wouldn't do anything stupid, right?"
He was smiling, but he had a threatening gaze. He didn't like children, much less children born from a lover.
