I Am The Only One
Daemon fell silent at their pleas. Some time later, he asked, "Uh, did Uncle Zayn treat you well?"
"Yes, he is awesome!" Alpha nodded. "Uncle Zayn told us stories, prepared breakfast for us, taught us how to ride a horse, and even brought us to have fun in the woods!"
"We even took a family portrait with Uncle Zayn!" Beta chimed in. "When we got tired, Uncle Zayn hoisted us up to his shoulders! He's as tall as a mountain. We're not afraid at all because I can hold on to his hair."
"I held on to his ears so I wouldn't fall down, " Gamma said. "Even if we fall down, he'll catch us."
"Right!" Alpha nodded fervently. "Venus said they used to sit on Uncle Zayn's shoulders when they were young. They are used to it."
"Uncle Zayn's shoulders are wide, so I won't fall!" the children chattered excitedly. "Uncle Zayn has a nice voice. He looks handsome when he tells us stories. He—"
"Okay, okay. That's enough!" Daemon interjected. "Since it's nothing, go to bed. Children need to sleep more to grow up to be clever adults."
Though he seemed unfazed, he felt uncomfortable deep down to hear his children praising his arch- enemy happily.
Is Zayn Giblo really that great? Carla loves him, and now the girls have been conquered.
"Daddy! Daddy, you haven't said yes yet!" The kids didn't forget what their mission was. "Please help Aunt Carla find Uncle Zayn! Pretty please!"
"All right. Go to bed. I'll hang up now." Daemon cut the line without hesitation.
The children pouted unhappily in the dark as they whispered among themselves.
"Was that a yes?"
"I don't think so."
"I think so."
"Jeez…"
Daemon stared at his phone for some time before dialing Freda's number.
And that was how Freda had received his phone call.
Of course, she had no idea it was all the girls' doing. If it weren't for them, Daemon wouldn't have called her.
Though it didn't seem that Daemon was about to do anything, he promptly relayed his orders after ending the call with Freda. "Did you find her?"
"Not yet, Mr. Lierger. Dr. Feroma is nowhere to be seen after she sneaked away a few days ago. We can't contact her."
"Did she go to the kids? I know how much she misses them…"
"The kids haven't seen her until now."
"Well… Go find her. You must get her to come back."
"Even if I manage to find her, she may not come back with me, " Harrison muttered to himself. "You know how stubborn Ms. Feroma can be…"
"Just say that I need to talk to her." Daemon furrowed his brows.
"But she may not listen to me." Harrison seemed stumped. "Back when I went to her, she stabbed my acupuncture point and made me cry. I've never been humiliated in such a way."
"Wouldn't you put your guard up?" Daemon hissed.
"She was too quick!" Harrison's expression fell. "She gets irritated easily and takes action when things aren't going her way. Before I realized it—"
"She gets irritated easily? Says who?" Daemon glared at him, menace visible in his gaze.
"I-I mean… I deserve to get beaten up…"
"That's right. I'm the only one who's allowed to criticize her. No one else can say bad things about her!"
"Understood, Mr. Lierger!"
