It's Hard to Control My Naughty Wife!-Chapter 751: ’YOU’, NOT ’WE’
Chapter 751: 'YOU', NOT 'WE'
Misha indeed realized that what he did in the past was a mistake and now he wanted to make amends for it, only, he didn't know how to do it and he still didn't understand how fucked up what he had done to Kia was.
Especially the life she had to live after that together with Mika.
It was true that Misha was here trying to make amends, but he approached them without understanding how much pain he had caused Kia first and it resulted in him ending up with a wrong start.
"We don't know what Mika wants, do we? So, why don't we just ask her?" Misha said. He looked at Kia calmly. "If she wants to look at her new room filled with toys or not."
Misha shuddered slightly when he saw how cold Kia looked when she glared at him in response, but then he turned his attention to Mika, because he knew the way he was doing this was wrong.
Just because he had more money and could buy anything for Mika, he was using his money to win their daughter's heart while it was always unfair to Kia that even to eat they had to calculate their expenses until now.
Misha then spread his arms, as if to hug Mika, while coaxing her to come to himself. "I have a room full of toys for you, do you want to see it?"
Misha made a gesture, asking the little girl to walk toward him. He was sure that this little girl would choose him, but instead of walking toward him, Mika walked toward her mother.
This of course surprised Misha. He blinked a few times in disbelief, but he didn't just give up and repeated his offer.
"Do you like toys?" Misha asked. "I have a lot of toys in my house and there is a special room full of toys, you want to take a look?"
However, Mika frowned and instead turned her face away from Misha and hid it in the crook of her mother's neck. She hugged Kia tightly.
Meanwhile, Misha was dumbfounded. He couldn't believe that Mika didn't want to see a room full of toys.
"Have you got the answer you wanted now?" Kia asked sarcastically, she hugged Mika tightly and looked at Misha fiercely. "Now that you have seen it for yourself and got the answer firsthand, there's nothing more you need to do for us and you better get out of here and never come back."
Indeed what Kia said sounded very cruel and too harsh, but this she had to do, considering who she was dealing with was Misha Tordoff.
Their meeting was brief, but that didn't mean Kia hadn't learned anything, even now this man in front of her hadn't changed.
On the other hand, Misha fell silent when he heard what Kia said, but then he replied with a grunt. "Isn't she still a kid and doesn't know anything? We can take her to my house and show her, then we will know if she likes it or not."
Kia looked at Misha fiercely, her eyes widened and this made Misha lean his back against the back of the sofa and fold his arms in front of his chest. This was his defensive stance and he would do this whenever he felt cornered, like now.
===========================
"Call Daniel to my room now," Misha said to Dania over the phone at his office desk.
Misha then stood up, staring at the large window that replaced one of the walls in this room, and allowed him to see the whole city landscape. This was a beautiful sight, if only the sky wasn't cloudy which indicated that it would soon rain heavily, even though it was still too early.
This made the mood a little bad and the same was felt by Misha. He had been feeling a little mellow since this morning because of this very unpleasant weather.
Not long after, someone knocked on his office door and as soon as he was ushered in, Daniel Lyrant faced Misha.
The young man looked cheerful, even in the current unfavorable weather. He exuded a positive aura that made Misha frown slightly.
"You called me?" asked Daniel in a cheerful voice.
"Sit down," Misha said, pointing to the sofa as he sat across from him. At first, he didn't know what to say, so he asked about the progress of the project Daniel was working on.
For a moment, Daniel frowned in confusion, because he shouldn't be the one explaining this to Misha and Misha should have gotten a full report on what happened from someone else in a higher position.
But, since Misha had asked, Daniel answered it with utmost sincerity. He explained some things and also added his opinion.
On the other hand, Misha actually didn't really listen to his explanation because what was on his mind was something else. There were other questions that bothered him, and nothing concerned this project that he was hearing about now.
However, Misha didn't know where to start, because there was no way he could ask such a sensitive question casually.
"It's like that…" Daniel said, ending the long and detailed report, while Misha only responded by muttering or nodding his head. Daniel became suspicious, did his boss really listen to him?
Meanwhile, Misha was trying hard to think of something, until he finally came up with a slightly absurd reason.
"You seem to have mastered this field well," Misha praised. "So how about I treat you to dinner, over which we can talk more about this matter?"
"What?" Daniel was surprised because he didn't expect this offer at all. "Dinner?"
"Yes, you can choose the place," said Misha. He then looked at the sky that was getting darker outside and felt very restless. He took a deep breath.
On the other hand, Daniel who saw Misha's behavior felt very strange, because his boss usually didn't take him to dinner somewhere. If he invited himself to dinner, why did his face look like a depressed person? Shouldn't he be the one feeling that way?
======================
Kia really got into trouble for not showing up for the final exams and after pleading earnestly and also submitting proof that Mika was indeed sick, they gave her another chance.
Indeed, this rarely happened, but not never, therefore, Kia was very grateful and very relieved that her efforts so far had not ended in vain.
While her exams were finished without any hiccup, she couldn't go home right away because the dark sky had been pouring cats and dogs since an hour ago. She also had to pick up Mika from the daycare. She couldn't stay on campus for long to wait for the rain to stop like everyone else.
Therefore, the only way was to break through the rain and pick up Mika, because seeing the rain falling so hard and the sky only turning dark by the minute, Kia wasn't sure that in the next few hours this rain would stop.
And after wrapping herself in a jacket, Kia ran to the nearest bus stop and waited for the bus.
Cold air wafted over, brushing her cheeks and making her body shiver with cold.
Usually it took about an hour to get to the daycare where she left Mika, but because of the rainy day and traffic jam, it took Kia longer to arrive. ƒ𝚛𝐞𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝓷o𝚟e𝘭.c𝐨𝙢
And once she arrived at the nearest bus stop, she had to run through the rain again, because the distance from the nearest bus stop and daycare was about two hundred meters.
Of course, when Kia got to the daycare, she was soaking wet. She was shivering from the cold, but at least she was here and the two of them could take a taxi back to the apartment.
Kia purposely didn't take a taxi when she came to save money and she couldn't find an umbrella either, because no one expected that today would be stormy like this.
"Mika, I am sorry, earlier…" Kia's words were cut off when she saw Mika chatting with Misha in her classroom, while the woman who was supposed to be looking after her was sitting on the other side of the room, clearly after allowing Misha to meet with Mika.
"Mommy!" Mika exclaimed, running toward Kia with a happy face.
The little girl was about to hug Kia, but she took a step back because her body was wet and she didn't want her daughter to get sick from getting her clothes wet, especially since she had just recovered.
However, what surprised Kia was why Misha was here. Her annoyance at the woman who was supposed to take care of Mika immediately disappeared.
Kia was annoyed with the woman because she kept calling her every five minutes, even though she said she was on her way.
"You are so wet, do you have a change of clothes?" Misha asked. He frowned when he saw Kia's very wet clothes. If she stayed like this, she would get sick.
"No," Kia said quietly, then asked. "What are you here for?" Her voice sounded a little displeased, but actually Kia was just surprised.
"I want to see our child," Misha replied, which made Kia frown. She didn't like Misha saying 'our child', because Mika was her daughter, hers alone.
"You can go now."
"Shall we go then?"
"I said 'you', not 'we'." Kia corrected Misha's words with a frown on her face.
