"I'll tell you now. I'm actually a-" Zavier's words were cut off immediately when the sound of the house bell suddenly rang. He cursed in annoyance and looked at Shella with raised eyebrows. "Who?"
The girl simply flicked her shoulders indifferently and kept back her medicinal equipment. After that, he started to move from his place while staring intently at the man. Meanwhile, Zavier only chuckled small.
Shella took a quick step, leaving the man with a still hot heart. He opened the door and asked. "Who?"
However, those blue eyes suddenly narrowed when they saw a figure that was no stranger to him. Middle-aged man with almost gray hair, but still looks healthy and sturdy at his age. Wait a minute, don't tell me.......
"Daddy?" shella asked and was immediately shocked on the spot.
---------------------------
Due to her over-shock, Shella simply fell silent on the spot and continued to stare straight ahead. He stared in disbelief at the figure of the man who was now smiling with a thin smile. The man seemed to be carrying a suitcase and was still faithfully waiting for him to open the door immediately.
"Shella, don't you intend to open the door to your daddy?" asked the figure that made Shella suddenly blinked her eyes.
"Ah, yes. For a moment," said Shella astonished and rushed to run forward. "Why did daddy come here without telling me first?"
William, Shella's father, widened his smile even more. "I just wanted to surprise you. Surprise!" said the middle-aged man who made Shella immediately chuckle amusedly.
"Come in, Dad," said Shella after opening the gate. He then let his father in with a happy smile. After the man entered, Shella closed the gate again.
"Maybe daddy can put the suitcase first in the living room or-" Shella stopped her speech when she realized something. He suddenly stuttered in his place and tried to catch up with his father's footsteps. But his efforts were late, because the man had already entered the house.
He remembered that Zavier was still in his house. Damn, daddy must have been prejudiced against him.
"Dad. Wait for me!" shella said in a hurry and immediately rushed to follow her father. The woman entered the house, then found that her father was glued to the spot while looking at Zavier. Meanwhile, Zavier also looked towards William and was dumbfounded.
Die her.
"Who is he, Shella?" ask William and frown his forehead. He moved to put his suitcase on the floor just like that and immediately sat on the sofa opposite Zavier.
Shella subconsciously held her breath when she saw her father looking at Zavier's face for a long time. Then after that, the pair of eyes turned to look at the medicines and the water container placed on the table.
"Yes" said William and still with a frown. He stared into the face of the man before him, making Zavier tense at his seat.
"Dad, I can explain this. He just-" Shella's words stopped when she saw her father raise his hand, a sign that she was not currently wanting to hear any explanation. Shella just let out a heavy sigh and moved to sit next to her daddy hesitantly.
"You're Zavier?" william asked once more which made Zavier nod his head quickly. Shella who saw the funny reaction involuntarily immediately chuckled a little inwardly.
"Zavier's. Who yeah? It was like I had heard that name" William said, as if trying to recall a memory that had been buried in his brain.
Shella and Zavier simultaneously turned towards William, then furrowed their respective foreheads.
"Are you Clayton's son?" ask William again.
Zavier nodded his head slowly. "Yes, but how did you get to know my father, huh?" ask him politely.
"Gosh, you're this big? Unbelievable. Back then, when I met you, you were only 2 years old. I don't think you remember me anymore" William said suddenly. He glared in disbelief and looked at Zavier from head to toe.
"Umm... daddy knows her?" shella asked and kept staring at her father. He still doesn't understand.
"Yes. He's the son of daddy's friend. I didn't know that Zavier would grow up to be this big and handsome" William said, patting Zavier on the shoulder several times.
Zavier just smiled foolishly, while his brain was trying to twist to look for the face of daddy Shella that felt so foreign to him. As he remembered, he had never seen the face of the middle-aged man. Maybe Zavier should ask his own father later.
"Daddy has a question for both of you" said William, who suddenly turned his face into a serious one.
"Zavier, do you know my son? If so, how do you know him, and if not, why are you in this house?" william asked without pause and took a breath, making Shella and Zavier simultaneously stiffen in place.
Shella looked towards Zavier, while the man also looked towards Shella. They stared at each other with dead-end brains to explain.
