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.

"Mom, Dad, me, and my brother. My family," I mumbled while reading it.
