Chapter 820: THE WALLPAPER ON HER PHONE
It was a two hour journey. Misha took them to an island where there was a tall mountain.
Because Mika wanted to experience camping, then everything needed to be prepared and they would get the most effective camping experience there.
Even the area where they would set up their tents had been combed carefully, so as not to be discovered or encounter unwanted things.
Along the way, Mika looked very cheerful, she even sang happily, asked many questions and looked like she would never get tired.
Because the road to their tent location was impassable by car, they had to hike to their destination.
"I'll carry the bag," said Kia, because she saw that Misha was already holding Mika and also carrying a large rope on his other shoulder, which looked quite heavy.
"No need." Misha then held Kia's hand gently and led her to walk toward their tent spot. "You just hold my hand."
Mika squalled when she saw the two of them like that and her mood seemed very cheerful now.
"Uncle, will there be a bear?" asked Mika as they walked up the path and through the trees.
"Of course not," Kia said. She had never camped like this before and actually she was a little scared to spend in the wilderness like this. She had no adventurous spirit at all. "There are no bears here, right?" Kia turned to Misha worriedly.
"No, there are no bears here." Misha made sure of that. Moreover, this place wasn't even a bear habitat.
While Kia was able to breathe a sigh of relief, Mika pouted.
"What about snakes?" Mika didn't give up, she started asking about wild animals and when she got a final answer that they wouldn't find any wild animals, she looked sad. "Why are there no wild animals? Mika wants to be friends with elephants, tigers and lions."
Kia widened her eyes when she heard her unreasonable wish. "Why does Mika want to meet those animals?"
"Because they are good. Mika saw it on television. They are kind and helpful," Mika answered innocently.
Kia felt that she wanted to facepalm herself when she heard that answer.
"Looks like you should pay more attention to what she's watching, because she has such a big imagination," Misha said with a smile.
"Yeah, I know," said Kia, grumbling. She didn't realize that the wildlife shows Mika watched would make her imagine things like this.
"You want to see the animals?" asked Misha swiftly, before his little daughter grew even more disappointed that this camp was not what she had imagined it would be.
"Yes!" Mika exclaimed happily.
"So do you really want to see the animals or go camping?" Misha asked in more detail now.
"Mika wants to see the animals," Mika said without hesitation.
And at that moment, Misha and Kia realized that they both misinterpreted the wishes of their only daughter.
Only, it was too late to turn back and they had already reached where their tents were pitched.
"If you want to see the animals, we'll go to the zoo later, okay? But, for today we will be camping," Misha provided understanding to Mika.
"So there are no animals later when camping? No bears either?" Mika asked disappointedly.
"Later I'll take you fishing, how about that?" Near where they set up their tents, there was a lake and indeed this place used to be used as a fishing area but now no one was there.
"Fishing?" Mika looked happy again. "Mika wants to go fishing!"
"You can?" asked Kia with an expression of disbelief. She had a hard time imagining how Misha could have the patience for such an activity.
"My dad likes to take me to the forest and fishing and all sorts of things for our bonding time."
"It looks like you two are quite close, huh."
"I don't like it, I'd rather be in a comfortable room and have air conditioning and sleep on a soft mattress than be in the middle of the forest."
Kia grimaced when she heard this. It seemed like a place to be comfortable and have everything needed was much more enjoyable and she couldn't help but agree with him.
"But, dad kept pushing until finally he himself saw that I wasn't interested and eventually stopped doing that, especially since I was getting older and much more interested in business, but still, everything he taught me is still stuck in my brain. "
From the way Misha said it, it was as if he was blaming Lexus, but actually he was quite grateful to own up the skills he had been taught since it seemed their little daughter would rather be in this kind of realm.
They then finally arrived at the place where they were going to camp and Mika couldn't wait to run around in this beautiful place.
Their camp was at the foot of the hill, where there was a lake not far from there and around them were thick trees.
This was a very surreal sight.
As soon as Mika was set down, she immediately went around looking around her surroundings more carefully and came back to ask something she didn't know.
Even though the little girl was a bit disappointed because she couldn't find any wild animals, she seemed to be really living the moment and it was really fun to see how she was laughing so freely.
"Careful, Mika! don't run around like that," Kia said while taking things out of the backpack Misha was carrying.
Even though this was camping and Kia had never done it before, she knew that camping this time with Misha would be much easier than the usual camping, because they had everything they needed and they only needed to make a little effort.
"Okay, mom!" Mika cried, but she still kept running around, looking at what made her curious around the camp.
"Huft. She said she wasn't going to run, but she's still running." Kia shook her head. But, she wasn't too worried because Misha was with her. He would make sure to catch her before she hurt herself.
At that thought, Kia continued her work of taking all the things out of the bag before walking toward the tent. She went inside only to be stunned to see the tent's interior.
There were two single beds and a table, while the floor below the two beds was covered by a soft carpet.
The whole tent was really neat and minimalistic.
"I'm not sure if this is actually camping." Kia clicked her tongue. "I wonder if this kind of camping was also the one he and his father had…"
And just then, she took out her cell phone to check if any emails had arrived and realized she had no signal here.
"Hm, it doesn't seem to matter since we'll only be here for two days." Kia thought that even if there were emails coming in regarding the job applications she had submitted over the past week, she still wouldn't be late if she checked them in two days.
"When did you take that photo?" asked Misha.
Kia screamed when she heard Misha's voice so close to her and immediately turned her body. She found Misha with Mika in one arm standing right behind her.
"Mama, Mika wants to see the photo!" Mika exclaimed while extending her hand to Kia.
She immediately knew which photo they were talking about. It was the photo of the father and daughter pair when they slept together in Mika's room. They had the same sleeping style and it looked cute, so she took a picture of it and set it as the wallpaper on her cellphone, ugh! And now they saw this.
That was fine with Mika, but Misha…
"I want to see it, mommy!" Mika shouted while trying to get off Misha's arm and whining at Kia.
"I didn't know you took a photo of the two of us," Misha said with a smile tugging at the corners of his lips.
Kia then resignedly gave her cellphone to Mika, allowing her to see the photo and the little girl laughed happily, because she looked funny there.
"I took the photo because Mika looks cute here," said Kia, trying to defend herself, even though she knew that this wouldn't work because Misha could see that she was lying.
"Do I look cute too? That's why I'm in the photo?"
"You just happened to be there, don't get too cheeky," Kia grumbled.
"Actually, you could have cropped me out of the photo, but I'm glad you didn't, because it was so interesting."
Kia rolled her eyes then she approached Mika.
On the other hand, Misha still looked a bit disappointed that he didn't see Kia wearing the ring he gave her. Did that mean she didn't accept him? Did that mean he had been rejected? Should he ask for clarification on this matter? Should he ask her or let his assumptions do the talking?
Misha could indeed get an answer for many things, but he couldn't get an answer for this problem.
It wasn't for him not to be certain, but he was afraid to hear the answer, because once the cat was out of the bag, it would be like a nail in the coffin. A negative response would make him very disappointed, but he couldn't do anything at the same time.
"Uncle, uncle! Let's go fishing, you said we came in here to get a fishing rod?" Mika tugged at Misha's pants to get his attention.
"Okay, let's go fishing. You'll be coming with us too, right?" Misha asked Kia, who thought about this for a moment and then agreed.
Should Misha have asked about it later?
