Just then, she noticed Jacob Steel and the bodyguard running toward them. Upon seeing her with Angela, they both stopped and took deep breaths.

“So, the young miss went after Miss Azar,” the bodyguard, Dante said.

Jacob, on the other hand, said nothing. He merely shook his head in disapproval at his daughter’s actions.

“Mommy,” Angela called again, making Soraya incredibly uncomfortable.

Why did I have to run into them again?’ she mumbled silently.

“Miss Azar, ever since we met you here last Monday, Angela kept pointing at the lights. We have been coming here for four consecutive nights. We thought Angela just wanted to see the lights again, but every time we arrived, she kept looking around.” Dante let out a long sigh, suggesting, “I think Angela has been looking for you all along.”

Jacob’s hazel eyes burned through Soraya’s frame as if blaming her for his daughter’s actions. He clearly wanted to say something but didn’t.

“Mommy,” Angela called again, looking at Soraya with pleading eyes. “I want Mommy.”

Soraya’s mouth quivered a bit. She said with a half laugh, “I – un Haha. I’m not your Mommy.”

Then, Soraya saw Angela’s hurt expression. The little girl looked like she was about to cry.

In a panic, Soraya turned to her sandwich and asked, “Hey, do you want to eat?”

Angela immediately nodded and touched her belly.

Minutes later, Angela was sitting with Soraya, eating the sandwich. As for Jacob and the bodyguard? They stood nearby, giving Angela a strange look.

Soraya heard every word the men said.

Dante: “Sir, this is strange. Angela has not eaten a proper meal for the past few days. Her nanny had reported the same, but she willingly ate Miss Azar’s sandwich.”

Dante: “Sir, did you see that? There was lettuce in the sandwich, but the young miss ate it. She never eats greens.”

Jacob: “I’m not blind.”

Dante: “U-okay. I wasn’t saying you were blind, Sir.”,

Dante: “This is really a miracle, Sir.”

There was a moment of silence before the men resumed stating their observations.

Dante: “Angela had never approached a woman before not this way.”

Jacob: “Soraya saved her.”

Dante: “Yes, of course. That could be it.”

Soraya understood what Jacob meant. Angela liked her because he had saved her.

At that point, she was torn as to what to do. Later, she turned to Angela and said, “Angela, after eating the sandwich, you should go to your daddy. Every good girl follows their parents. you understand?”

Angela glanced at Soraya with woeful eyes. She shook her head response before finishing the last of the sandwich.

Although Soraya did not like Jacob, there was something about gela she couldn’t say no to. Maybe it was her innocence or perhaps the way Soraya saw a tiny part of herself in Angela.

It could be the child’s longing for a mother or the pain that flickered behind Angela’s eyes. Whatever it was, Soraya was sure there was pain.

An hour passed, and Angela still refused to part with Soraya.

Jacob exerted his authority, “Angela, it’s past eight. You still have therapy in the morning. Let’s go.”

This time, Angela wrapped her arms around Soraya, her superhuman strength activated. “Mm. Mm. I want Mommy.”

This went on for a few more minutes. When Soraya could no longer hold back, she asked, “Mr. Steel, where is Angela’s mother?”

It was as if she had opened Pandora’s box. Jacob’s expression darkened as he said, “I told you already! Angela does not have a mother.”

‘Adopted? ‘she mouthed, only to receive a sharp frown from the man whose face now looked as hard as his last name Steel.

When Jacob tried to pull Angela away from Soraya again, the young girl cried, “No! No! Mommy!”

Angela’s body shook with her sobs. It was so real; Soraya could feel her desperate need for… a motherly love? ‘Why?’

Just then, a thunderclap rang out in the sky. Everyone looked up and saw the clouds looming above.

“Soraya, I’m sorry to trouble you. I’ll pay you anything. Name your price. Do you mind accompanying me to the car?” Jacob finally decided.

Unfortunately, Soraya did more than just bring Angela to the car. The little girl simply would not let her go. In the end, Soraya rode in Jacob’s Maybach while his bodyguard drove her car.

In the backseat, Angela clung to her like her life depended on it. The young girl eventually fell asleep in Soraya’s arms half, an hour into the ride.

Soraya could have just asked Jacob to stop the car, but the man said, “We are almost home.”
