Chapter 93

Summer Frost POV

However, my smile disappeared when I arrived at the living room and found him with the little girl from the other day. What’s her name

again? Yes, Ella! His cousin.

The look on her face was unwelcoming as she glared at me displeasingly.

“Daddy, why is she here?” She looked up at Xander inquisitively while holding on tightly to the teddy bear in her hand. She was wearing a pinklong gown, and her hair was packed in two tight ponytails.

“You are here?” Xander looked at me with a smile on his face as he left her hand and came to stand in front of me.

“How’re

re you? You don’t look fine. Is everything alright?” He looked at me observantly, but I quickly shook my head and smiled at him.

“I’m fine.”

“Daddy, I asked why she is here. Is she not the same woman that slapped you the other day? Is she here to cause trouble again?” Came Ella’s voice again, getting Xander’s attention. He walked over to her and crouched down to her size.

“Don’t talk to her like that. I told you to always respect elders when you see one. He scolded her but more in a gentle manner.

“But she slapped you,” She pouted her lips as she reminded him of that day, and I scoffed.

“Come on, you should say hi to her,” He stood up then held her hand and turned to face me.

“Say hi to her,” He urged her, and she hesitated before she muttered a ‘hi‘ accompanied with an eye roll. Too much attitude for her age.

“Why is she here though?” She looked up at him and asked the same question once again, determined to know what was happening.

“Summer…” Instead, he looked at me with a smile on his face as he called my name. “Ella’s nanny went on a long break, and since Lisa is not always in the house, I had to bring her over here to stay with us for a while. I’m sorry for not telling you about it earlier, it was kind of urgent,” He apologised to me though he had no reason to. I mean, it’s his house, and it’s up to him what he wants to do with it, yeah?

“Us? Are you living together now?” She looked traumatised like she just heard something she never should have, and her reaction made me chuckle briefly and silently.

“It’s nice to meet you again, Ella,” I finally walked over to her and crouched down to her size.

“I don’t like you,” She told me honestly, her eyes didn’t fail to add to the sincerity.

“I know. For some reason, I don’t seem to like you either…” I paused and ruffled her hair briefly as I gave her a warm smile.

“Don’t touch my hair,” She frowned her face,
