My CEO Daddy by ELAINE MALLIN

When their eyes met, Kerr stared at the girl's pupils that were a little stunned. He was mesmerized as the pair of eyes closely resembled Nicole's.

As he continued to study her, he could discern a hint of panic on the young girl's face. He silently watched her, noting every detail of her unsteady physical movement like a frightened kitten. When she managed to pull herself up, she quickened her pace, and almost dashed towards the door. But she instinctively held back when she heard Kerr's distinctive voice. It was distant, and yet it sounded dangerously compelling. She couldn't help but stand frozen in fear.

"Don't make me say it again."

Kerr gazed at the door, and he realized what the surprise that Ken mentioned was. The girl in front of him looked like the one who escaped seven years ago.

The girl's legs were so weak that she wobbled and fell to the ground. She wordlessly stared at him with her watery almond eyes as if she didn't know what had happened.

"I feel so uncomfortable." Her words were barely a whisper. She didn't know what was wrong with her. She felt confused and frightened at the same time.

Scanning the girl's clueless and blushed face, Kerr subconsciously recalled the night seven years ago.

Kerr couldn't contain himself any longer, so he approached her. His face showed a complicated expression as he bent down slowly. Raising his fingers, he lifted her chin gently, fully revealing the girl's profile in front of him. She had a delicate face. Then he exhaled, suddenly realizing that he was holding his breath all this time.

She bore quite a resemblance to Nicole, but she lacked the elegance and confidence of the latter.

Squatting in front of the girl, Kerr suddenly reached out for an empty glass from the table behind. He then directly aimed and threw it at the crack of the door visibly emitting a glimmer of light.

Unexpectedly, in that very second, a beautiful woman suddenly pushed the door open from the other side.

"Ah!"

The glass knocked on Nicole's head with a loud thud.

As a reflex, she reached for her forehead and covered it with her hand. But the sudden dizziness in her head made her unable to support herself to stand firmly.

"Watch out!"

Kerr yelled, pushing the girl in front of him away. Then he raced past her to catch Nicole. His eyes eventually became dark while examining the wound on her forehead.
