Chapter 07^

"Where have you been? I was looking for you, don't you know that?" Steven said, his eyes almost filled with emotion.

"It's a very long story, if I tell you, it will definitely take 6 years. Ha ha ha ..." Achiera joked, and this was the first time Steven knew Achiera like this.

She seems so much better now than she was with Hans, Steven thought.

"Is it your new hobby now, which is joking? But if you want to tell every second of what you've been through during these 6 years too, I have plenty of time. I'm ready to hear you!" Steven replied.

"Ha ha ha ... I'm just kidding, who will tell you such details, I've even forgotten a lot of things. Oh yeah, I heard you are looking for an interior designer because you want to give your daughter a house, is that right?"

"Yes, there's no mistaking it, it is. The HQ company is well known for having a top interior designer, and I wanted to meet her to perfect my daughter's design, have I come to the right person? I mean, is this a very famous interior designer?" Steven teased.

"Ha ha ... actually being said as the perfect, it makes me scared. The proof is that your daughter who is still 6 years old can already design the structure design, is there anything more powerful than that?"

"I think she will surpass you, because it is a hereditary talent."

"Hahai ... Who is the lucky woman who has attracted your heart, and got married without a word?"

Suddenly Steven changed his expression when he heard the word married. "I'm not married yet," he replied softly.

"U-unmarried, but have children? Or ...?"

For a moment Steven was silent, he thought about what answer he would give.

Do I just admit it? But currently Aleeya's condition was still being monitored. Would it be good if Achiera knew about Aleeya's disease, Steven thought, giving him a deep dilemma.

"Hey ... what's on your mind?" Steven teased. "But it's true, as you might think, it's the kid from my one night stand with a woman," Steven replied.

When Aleeya's condition can be confirmed properly, that her disease will not recur, but has fully recovered, at that time I will say everything. I don't want to make Achiera hope again then later, that hope broke her defense because it didn't go as expected, Steven continued to himself.

"Pfff .... I could hardly believe you were going to do a one night stand."

"Ha ha ha ... come to think of it, I almost couldn't believe it, but the accident had happened accidentally, how could I refuse my own daughter, Miss Designer."

"Well that's true, sometimes we will make mistakes, and that's natural. Then what about the mother?"

'Emp ....' Steven thought for a moment.

"Well, there's no need to tell if it's not to be told. I'm just too presumptuous to ask that."

Steven touched the top of Achiera's head, "It's not presumptuous. But her mother was not with us, not even from the time Aleeya was born."

"Ha? Why is it like that? What happened?"

Instead of answering, Steven smiled mysteriously.

"You seem very curious, are you jealous that I have a child with another woman?" Steven teased.

"Careless! Ha ha ha ... Where did your thoughts come from?" Achiera joked.

"..." Steven was silent, and Achiera felt a little guilty.

"Eh, is there something wrong with what I said just now? I'm sorry," Achiera said begging.

"It's been 6 years, you still hesitate to me. Can't you just relax? Am I scary?" Steven protested.

"After all, you're quiet. I won't feel good."

"I was silent because I was thinking about you, how have you been during these 6 years?" Steven provoked.

"Phew!"

Achiera exhaled violently.

"Everything has passed, I don't think there is anything important to tell about it. Instead of telling the past and ending up remembering what happened, I prefer, enjoy what has happened now," Achiera said.

"Yes, you're right, and it's your right to forget it." Steven didn't want to force it either.

"Oh yeah, I heard the news that your daughter is sick and it's been going on for a long time, how is she now?"

"Since birth she was already sick, her mother was too weak to bear her. Sometimes ... she seems to show that she will survive, but sometimes that hope just disappears. However, I do not give up, she is my very strong daughter, she will get through all of this."

"Can I meet your proud daughter?"

"Of course, you will meet as soon as possible. Oh yes, how is your son?" Steven asked unconsciously.

"My son is fine, he is very naughty," Achiera replied with a smile remembering how naughty Hansen was.

However, soon Achiera was reminded again about where Steven learned about her son's news, was not the news of her death, which was spread throughout F country.

"Wait ... where do you know I have a son?" Achiera asked.

Oh Shit! Why did I even slip up like this? If it's this, how to answer, Steven thought, but soon the idea came to him.
