Chapter 44

"WHO ARE YOU?!" Doris asked alertly to the man in front of us.

I almost turned pale when he turned his gaze to his baby. Shock already registered on his face, mouth hung with lips slightly parted and the vein popping hard in his temple.

"Uh, Doris please take Clarence go out first. We just need to talk about something."

"No, wait..." He stopped Doris from leaving. He stepped closer to the two almost wondering who he was.

My heart stop beating completely. I almost stiffened from the moment when he started to step closer to Clarence. He stopped and looked at the child still sound asleep.

"What is his name?" His voice became smooth and gentle. It unconditionally held the hand of the naive child.

Doris glanced at my me before answering. "Uh, his name is, Clarence Xander," she muttered lowly.

He clenched his jaw tight and turned his scowl face at me. I almost lost color because of its dark look.
