Chapter 803: THEY WILL MONOPOLIZE HER
"Then mama will be sad too if Mika gets sick from not eating," Candice explained. She wondered if the words she used were too hard for a three year old to digest, because for a moment Mika didn't answer. She just stared at Candice with her big teary eyes.
After all, it had been years since Misha was a three year old kid and Candice couldn't remember how Misha was when he was three years old. It seemed that even when he was little, he never acted spoiled at all.
"Mika isn't sick, Mika wants mom..." Mika said, but she stopped crying.
"If Mika doesn't eat, Mika will get sick, didn't the doctor say last night that you have to eat regularly?" Candice then reached out and touched Mika's warm forehead. "Try to feel, your body feels warm."
Candice then took Mika's hand and let her touch her own forehead.
"See? It's warm, isn't it?" Candice heard from Misha that Mika was sick last night because she missed her mother, but it didn't occur to her to ask where Kia was. After this, she made sure to inquire further about the situation when it was just the two of them. "Now Mika has to eat, so she doesn't get sick."
Mika seemed to think for a moment, she was still clutching the front of Misha's shirt and resting her head on his chest and this sight made Candice want to take out her cellphone and take a picture of the two of them and then show it off to Lexus, only this wasn't the right time to do that.
Then, unexpectedly, Mika stretched out her hands toward Candice, asking to be carried by her, of course this small gesture made her heart melt.
A joyful smile tugged at the corners of Candice's lips.
"What are you doing?" Candice stared fiercely at Misha who distanced Mika from herself. He even turned his body away slightly so Candice couldn't hold her.
"She's already big and you will feel tired if you carry her, you better not do that," said Misha with a straight face.
"What?" Candice looked annoyed, but she had to control her facial expressions so as not to frighten Mika. This child! He really wanted to monopolize this little girl.
But, of course, Candice easily snatched Mika from Misha's arms and carried her back into the room, leaving Misha alone on the balcony and looking sullen.
Why did everyone always want to interrupt the time together between himself and Mika?
Inside the room, Candice sat Mika on her lap and started feeding her. This girl wasn't heavy, one could even say she was too light for a child her age and subconsciously, Candice started making a list of activities she would do with Mika.
"Here, open your mouth," said Candice in a coaxing tone, when she fed Mika, who still seemed reluctant to eat, but this time she ate her food well. "Good! If you eat well, you'll get well soon and you'll be able to meet mama soon, okay?"
Mika nodded and opened her mouth again, she was chewing her food well and even though she didn't eat much, she was able to take her medicine and spend the whole afternoon sleeping.
"So tell me what really happened to Kia? What illness is she suffering from?" asked Candice, when they finally had their late lunch together.
Now they were at the dinner table and Candice didn't cook anything for Misha because she wanted to hear more about Kia and Mika.
"Kia is currently in the hospital, she is being treated as she suffers from depression." Misha cut straight to the point.
One of the things that Candice liked most about her son was that he always said things without beating around the bush when it came to serious problems and would shoot straight to the heart of the matter, so she didn't have to second-guess in long explanations, when their conversation was taking place, because if she was being honest, Candice didn't have much patience for it.
"Depression?" Candice leaned toward Misha, to listen properly. "What happened? Was it because of you?!" Candice exclaimed angrily.
"Mom, if you keep getting angry, how can I tell you about it?" Misha said while leaning his body against the back of the chair and folding his arms in front of his chest.
Sullenly, Candice took a deep breath to calm herself. "Tell me," she said after feeling a little calmer.
Then, Misha started to tell everything he knew, starting from Kia's family and how she got kicked out of the house for being pregnant with his child.
"THAT'S INSANE!" Candice even got up to her feet, hitting the table and making Misha stop telling her the story, allowing his mother to let all her frustrations out.
This continued for about five minutes and during that time, Misha became an obedient child and listened to all her mother's frustrations.
It wasn't until five minutes later that Candice sat back down, her face flushed and she folded her arms over her chest to contain her emotions.
"Then? What happened after that?" Candice asked in a voice like she was grinding her teeth.
Misha then told how Kia lived her life, he knew this information from the data that Richard managed to get and also from Keira's side of story.
And while he was telling this story, he had to stop several times because Candice was very angry with him for abandoning the woman he had been dating and their child and even though Misha had said that he didn't know that at that time Kia was pregnant, Candice still didn't accept that reason .
She kept muttering; I raised you better than this, how can you grow into a man who doesn't respect women? You embarrass me.
Until Misha told about Kia's family, Candice turned to berate them and kept saying; how could a family be like that? Have they lost their minds? How could they kick their pregnant daughter out?
"I would never kick my child out if she got pregnant!"
"Mom, there is no way I will get pregnant, right?" Misha reminded her. He was their only child and he was a man.
"Huft!" Candice snorted in disgust and returned to scolding Kia's family. "I want to go to their house and scold them one by one!" she exclaimed angrily.
"Mom, you can't do that," Misha reminded her again.
"Yeah, I know, I was just saying," Candice grumbled.
And after that, Misha told some more details and also told what happened before Kia had a breakdown.
"I don't know what she talked to her brother about, but I think that was one of the factors that caused her to have a mental breakdown after that."
Candice was seeing things again at this point. "Why don't you just fire him and then make him unacceptable for any company?" she asked.
"Well, I did think about it, but I don't think Kia would agree no matter what." Misha did think about it and was even about to do it out of anger, but then called it off.
However, now that he heard his mother give the same idea, it seemed Misha's cruel nature came from his mother, not his father.
"Okay, I can't hear this anymore, I can get high blood pressure if we continue like this, we will continue this conversation later," said Candice, who immediately stood up from the bench.
"There's really nothing more to tell." Because Misha had told Candice everything he knew, but his mother didn't listen to him and just walked away from there.
Mika slept through the day and only woke up at night, but after eating her dinner and taking her medicine, she fell asleep again.
And at this time, Candice, who planned to only come to have lunch together with Misha, actually stayed there indefinitely, which didn't really matter to Misha. It was just that there were things that couldn't be avoided, namely; his mother told this to his father.
And that same night, Lexus came to the Tordoff residence and this made Misha, who was about to return to his room after finishing the pending work in his study room, have to facepalm himself.
"How could you hide your daughter?!" Lexus exclaimed in annoyance at Misha.
"I'm not hiding her," Misha answered helplessly, he started to feel a headache.
He planned to live quietly with his child, but this was what he got… ugh.
Luckily, his mother was sensitive enough to calm her husband down. "Calm down, you will wake up the little girl, she is sick."
"Sick!?" Lexus widened his eyes in disbelief. "And why didn't you take her to the hospital? What if something bad happens?!"
"Can you calm down first?" Candice said coldly and this was very effective in making Lexus calm down and he took a deep breath.
For some reason, Misha felt a bit nostalgic seeing this scene, as his mother very calmly and firmly calmed down his father's frantic temper.
Scenes like this were often seen when the two of them were still living in this house.
"If you want to see her, you can see her in the morning, but not now," said Candice, who then pulled Lexus into the living room. "Before that, I will briefly tell you about this."
Lexus then didn't say much anymore and followed his wife, meanwhile, Misha shook his head, living quietly with his daughter and getting quality time with Mika seemed like it would only be his wishful thinking, because his little girl would definitely be monopolized by the two of them.
