His Offer

CHAPTER 73

Elena quickly snapped her gaze back to Mark. Were they going to share Mia's responsibility now? She needed him to make things clear and she hoped that her facial expression was enough to ask the question.

As if reading her mind, Mark spared her a glance. "Mia is my daughter, and I have long accepted her. It is only right that I take responsibility for her existence. You can't do the job alone when I'm here."

Mark was particular about being a responsible father even though he was still in the process of coming to terms with the fact that he made a little human.

Sometimes, he wondered what his family and friends would think when they find out, but it's not like their thoughts and opinions mattered. Their reaction would be enough for him to take in.

Elena was quiet for a while before speaking up. She tilted her head to the side and said slowly, "Mark, I'm honestly taken aback by your offer. I-I wasn't expecting it."
