Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 93

Chapter 93

Antonio held the child in his arms, rocking and patting her unconsciously.

It looked rather amusing.

The staff presented their quarterly reports in a low voice.

During that time, Antonio frowned and wanted to say something. He took a look at Laura in

his arms and said nothing..

The staff let out an indistinct sigh of relief.

According to the original script, they would have been scolded, undoubtedly. However, they

were unexpectedly let off the hook because of that kid.

They were all thinking, “She’s not a kid. She is our lucky star! Thank the heavens for giving the kid nightmares. Who would have thought that it’d put a stop to Mr. Smith’s anger?”

After a long time, Laura woke up in a daze, rubbed against him like a kitten, and murmured, “Mr. Smith.” Her voice was both sweet and soft, which melted people’s hearts.

Antonio looked down at her, hummed in acknowledgement, and said in a low voice, “You’re

awake.”

Laura nodded, rubbed her eyes, and recounted softly, “I just had a beautiful dream. I dreamt of my daddy, and we were out kite flying!”

When the meeting had adjourned, the staff tidied their things and got ready to leave. However, they quickly slowed their pace and listened in upon hearing the last bit of the

conversation.

With a deepened frown, Antonio asked, “Then, did you see what your daddy looked like?”

Laura looked up at him, smiled brightly, and answered, “My daddy looks very similar to you. He is super nice to me, just like you.”

Antonio was stunned, and the depression in his heart instantly dissipated. It was as if he could see the sun shining through the clouds, and all unhappiness was swept away.

At that moment, someone knocked on the conference room’s door and announced, “Mr.

Smith, Mrs. Smith is here.”

Antonio was panic–stricken at the announcement of Winnie’s arrival.

Winnie pushed open the door and entered as soon as her arrival was announced. She asked smilingly, “There is a banquet tonight. I’d like you to help me choose my evening gown. Do

you have time, Antonio?”

Winnie’s gaze fell on Laura’s adorable face as she spoke.

Winnie’s smile disappeared instantly, and she asked, “W–What are you doing there?”

Then, a profound silence prevailed over everything.

Antonio’s brain blanked. He subconsciously pushed Laura out of his arms and exclaimed,

“It’s not what you think.”

Laura was caught off guard, fell out of the former’s arms, and cried, “Ouch!” She felt the sudden pain on her palms and knees.

Antonio was jolted to his senses and wanted to help Laura subconsciously. But he thought of something and restrained himself by placing his hands behind him.

Puzzled, Laura looked at him and asked, “Mr. Smith?”

Antonio tightened his jaw and only glared at her.

She was baffled by his glare and didn’t know what to say.

Winnie strode into the room and quickly helped Laura up from the floor. “Ah, aren’t you

Laura?”

Winnie blamed Antonio, “How can you push the child to the floor? She is still a little girl. What if she falls and grazes her skin?”

Antonio was at a loss.

Antonio had always been indifferent when faced with various business settings. He was at a loss and felt he did not know how to handle it for the first time. “I was afraid you would

misunderstand me, so I…”

Winnie was speechless and asked, “What will I misunderstand? You mean to say I’ll

misunderstand that she’s your daughter?”

That remark took Antonio off guard. He looked away with a guilty conscience.

Winnie examined Laura carefully and meticulously.

Laura’s knee had been scraped, and blood was oozing out.

She was distressed and exclaimed, “Oh dear, you are badly scraped.”

A hint of distress was reflected on Antonio’s face. He restrained himself and took a step

back.

Winnie was furious, and she reprimanded Antonio, “If you don’t know how to hold a child, then don’t do so. How can a child be in your arms and still get hurt because you can’t hold her properly? How distressing it will be for her parents to know about that? How are you going to explain it to her parents?”

Antonio suppressed his indignation, lowered his head, and mumbled, “I’m sorry.”

Even he himself was uncertain whether his apology was meant for Laura or Winnie.
