It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!

Chapter 756: WE HAVE EACH OTHER

Therefore, this morning he asked Daniel to come to his office, as soon as he returned to work from the office, because for the past two days, Misha had to look after Kia who was sick. He spent time between working on his laptop and playing with Mika.     

"No need to say that, your business must be very important," Daniel said with his usual friendly smile.     

"Thanks for understanding, because it's true, the business I have to deal with is very important." Saying this, Misha looked at Daniel with judgment.     

And after saying that, the atmosphere in this room became a little awkward because Misha didn't say anything and Daniel didn't know what to say now, because he was the one who was invited to come and see Misha.     

"About the new project…" Daniel tried to restart the conversation, as the silence became awkward after a while, but Misha cut him off and asked something unexpected.     

"I don't want to talk about the project, but there's something else I want to say," Misha told Daniel.     

"Yes?" asked Daniel warily, for he did not know what Misha would ask him.     

Misha then sighed softly, there was a deep crease between his eyebrows when he started to speak. "I want to know about the second child in your family," said Misha suddenly.     

"Yes?" Daniel was very sure that he had heard wrong when Misha asked such a question. What did he mean? Why did he suddenly ask such a question?     

"I want to know about the second child in your family." Misha repeated his question again and this time he looked directly at Daniel, indicating that he had heard correctly and that he did not want to repeat the same question a third time.     

"What do you mean, sir?" asked Daniel, stuttering. He looked at Misha with questioning and mortified eyes when he saw how calm this man was. Did he know Kiandra? But, how did he know her? How did he know about Kiandra?     

Misha looked at Daniel and saw the change in expression on his face even though he said nothing but asked what the words meant.     

"I wonder why she ran away from home." Misha was not used to small talk and after all he had wanted to ask this question for a long time. He used the same method when he tackled a business issue.     

However, the problem was; as a Tordoff, Misha did not need to approach potential investors, they were the ones who would approach him, so he was free to say anything without further ado.     

However, in this case, it was a family matter, which also happened to be a sensitive issue, therefore what Misha did couldn't be justified.     

And what complicated matters was; Misha was not good with pleasantries.     

"Do you know Kiandra?" asked Daniel carefully. He looked at Misha inquisitively, although he kept telling himself that the possibility was completely unreasonable, but he couldn't deny that it could happen either.     

"Yes, I know her," Misha replied. He frowned. "You have not answered my question."     

Daniel opened his mouth and closed it again. He did this several times, but he couldn't find the right words to say to him, so he finally shook his head and said carefully.     

His voice trembled slightly as it was filled with emotion. "This is a problem within my family, I hope the boss can understand."     

Misha tilted his head and glared at Daniel when he heard his unsatisfactory answer.     

"Did she run away from the house or did you throw her out?" Misha asked this because he really wanted to know why Kia wasn't with her family when she had Mika.     

Wasn't it much better being in the family than her having to fend off herself with their daughter alone?     

Hearing what Misha said, Daniel's eyes widened in disbelief. If previously he couldn't find the words to respond to what Misha said, then this time he really couldn't hide his surprise, which told Misha that his guess was right.     

"Did you know that she was pregnant?" Misha didn't let this go by. Since he had already opened this topic, he would finish it too. He wasn't going to end this until he got a definite answer.         

"What do you mean?!" Daniel raised his voice and now he was standing. His hands were clenched at his sides and he seemed to be shaking slightly. His eyes stared blankly at Misha and his breath hitched. "What do you mean by all that?" He tried to swallow his saliva with difficulty.     

"You just have to answer my question. Is it all true? Is that what you guys did to Kiandra?" Misha asked, now leaning against the back of the chair with his arms folded in front of his chest. His sharp eyes focused on Daniel probingly. He wanted to know what efforts the Lyrant family had put in in order to push Kia away.     

"This is a family matter, you don't need to know about this." Daniel's voice was cold and barely audible. He didn't want to be reminded by that event that tore his family apart.     

Family problem? Misha thought in a mocking tone. Mika is his daughter, therefore, he is already a part of their family, right?     

It was not like he wanted to be a part of their family, because Kia and Mika could be part of Tordoffs, only if she was not that stubborn…     

"If you don't have anything else to ask, I will go," Daniel muttered. He needed time to digest this. What he learned just now was too shocking while Mr. Tordoff was being completely unreasonable.     

"Where are you going?" Misha asked when he saw Daniel rushing toward the door, trying to get out of this office as fast as he could. "I still haven't told you to leave," he said in an even tone.     

Hearing this, Daniel stopped in his tracks and turned his body. "What is the relationship between you and Kiandra?" he asked in a demanding voice.     

Misha tilted his head. "You kicked her out because she was pregnant?" he asked, but it sounded more like a statement and Daniel's response acknowledged all of that. "So that's what you guys did to her?"     

"You know her?" Daniel narrowed his eyes at Misha, while he was deep in thought. He didn't want to believe the crazy possibility that was running through his head, but he couldn't ignore the possibility after everything Misha had asked him and his current attitude. "Don't tell me…"     

Misha smiled when he saw understanding begin to come to Daniel, but before he could confirm his guess, Misha had stood up and walked over to his seat.     

"You can go now." No answer was spoken explicitly or stated clearly by Daniel, but Misha could deduce the answer from the response he gave.     

For a moment, Daniel wanted to argue, but then he decided to walk away from there with the confusion still shrouding him.     

=========================      

Daniel got a call from his mother that Alia had been admitted to the hospital again and her condition was deteriorating. The strange incident with the Tordoff heir was a little forgotten by him.     

However, when he arrived at the hospital, he found that Alia was fine, she was just having a routine checkup that she had to go through in the past few years.     

"Don't make jokes like that," Daniel grumbled to his mother and a laughing Alia. They both seemed to have an inside joke to prank Daniel, to find out how much he cared for his family.     

"Don't be angry, brother," Alia said in a sulky tone, she took Daniel's arm as they came out of the hospital, while his mother walked on the other side. "We were just joking, because you look very busy with your work."     

Daniel could only sigh when he heard this and let it slide this time.     

"We have to be strong as a family, after all the four of us only have each other, right?" Amber said in a melancholic voice as they entered the car.     

Four?     

At that moment, Daniel began to feel uncomfortable. If there had been no chat about Kia this morning, would he have noticed this small detail?     

"Mom," Daniel called, as he started the car while Amber and Alia were still busy putting their things away. "Haven't you thought about looking for Kia?" he asked carefully, but also in an attitude as if he didn't really care about this.     

It was just that, as soon as the question was asked, immediately the atmosphere in the car became very quiet.     

"If the four of us have each other, then what about Kia?" asked Daniel. He glanced at his mother and found the woman was silent, her face looked like it was full of pain.         

"If she realized her mistake, she would come home someday," said Amber, even though she didn't really believe what she said.     

But Daniel knew how unlikely that would be. He saw for himself what happened four years ago when Kia decided to leave the house.     

However, he couldn't really say that.     

"Later, Kia will definitely come home," said Alia in an optimistic voice. "Mom and dad will take her back, won't they?"     

Amber smiled awkwardly and nodded. "After she apologizes, we will consider taking her back," said Amber. She turned her head away and looked out the window.
