Chapter 1001
“Seeing how patient you are, you’re definitely gonna make a great dad in the future” Ms. Simmons complimented
Charlie chuckled, but didn’t respond. He never expected to grow so fond of Kya. Could it be that he was getting old
and developed the desire to be a father?
Charlie found himself slightly ridiculous.
Ms. Simmons said, “You mind looking after Kya for a bit? I need to go downstairs to do some grocery shopping.
When Kya wakes up, I cook her something.”
“Rest assured, I’ll take care of her. Go do your thing!” Charlie responded in a low voice.
Ms. Simmons replied politely, grabbed her keys and purse, and headed out the door.
The room quieted down, the afternoon sun warmed the room, creating a serene atmosphere
Charlie looked down at Kya, who was sleeping soundly and peacefully. He couldn’t help but hold Kya tight. Her faint

He gazed down at her for a while, until a phone call interrupted him. He frowned unconsciously and immediately hit
the mute button.
He checked the incoming call, hung up and responded with a text message.
After dealing with the situation, Charlie casually looked around the living room. The daisies in the vase were starting
to wilt, indicating that the lady of the house must be really busy and didn’t have time to care for them.
On the chest of drawers leaning against the wall was a music box shaped like a princess castle. The prince and
princess, who were once dancing togethet were now separated, each looking at the other from a distance.
Perhaps when the switch was flipped, and the music started playing, they would reunite and start to dance again.
Looking at the delicate castle, Charlie couldn’t help but think of another girl
Was she doing well? Did she ever think of him? Did she have a boyfriend?
Being abroad, she needed someone by her side, so she wouldn’t feel alone.
Charlie couldn’t help but let his thoughts wander. Soon his thoughts shifted back to the lady of the house. She had
left her daughter with Estelle before, and now even when her daughter was sick, she was not at home. It seemed
like she didn’t care about Kya atall.
He heard that Kya’s parents had divorced. The woman must hold a deep grudge against Kya’s father to vent her
anger on Kya
Thinking about it, Charlie frowned, feeling even more empathetic towards Kya.
After doing her grocery shopping. Ms. Simmons chatted with another woman who also had a kid, before heading
back home. As she walked in, she saw a man leaning back on the couch, seemingly asleep, but still holding the baby
in his arms firmly.
The sunlight fell on them, creating a harmonious scene, like they were a real father and daughter
Not wanting to disturb them, Ms. Simmons quietly slipped into the kitchen.
Kya had been sleeping for two hours and Charlie had been holding her for the same amount of time. Although he

phone.
Kyas fever had subsided. Her forehead was sweaty, which had soaked a patch of Charlie’s grey-blue shirt. He didn’t
mind at all and gently wiped her forehead with.
a tissue.
Around four o’clock, Kya woke up. She looked at Charlie in surprise, and then slowly smiled at him.
At that moment, Charlie felt a sense of warmth in his heart, like he had acquired something he had longed for
“Kya!” he called her softly.
“Mister”””
Kya’s voice was hoarse. She snuggled against Charlie and yawned.
Charlie touched her little face. “Do you still feel uncomfortable?”
Ky sat up, giggled on his shoulder and said, “I feel better now.”
Charlie lifted up his numbed arm, his joy akin to the arrival of spring after a long winter
