Chapter 33

I was completely taken aback by Aria's question.

"Handsome Uncle?" I inquired with a look of deep bewilderment.

She responded, "Yeah, that uncle we met at the airport."

I was able to make out a bright smile and a look of excitement on Aria's face. Within me, I could feel a throbbing pain in my chest.

She was talking about her father!

I took a deep breath and replied,

"Aria, don't talk about that man again, okay?"

"Why, Mom?"

"My baby, he is a stranger. I told you that day, right? By the way, Mommy is going to pay a visit to another person who is in critical health."

She lowered her head and pursed her lips in a deep sigh. After a while, she showed that she was a good child by nodding her head.

I was fixated on her. Why did she keep bringing up Adrian in everyday conversation? Why could she not forget just one meeting?

Was it because he was her father?

I noticed Aria started drawing again. I ran my hand over her hair and asked,

"What are you drawing?"

When she turned to face me, she displayed her drawing to me.

Although I reached out my hand to take hold of the paper, my hand began to shake as a result of what she had drawn.

The sketch was a rough representation of a man and a woman, with the two other children. holding hands with them.

My attention was drawn to the title of the painting that she had written.
