Sold To An Alpha - Chapter 119
Mr. Adolpho’s eyes dilated in shock, and he instantly stood up from the chair, followed by Amy and Jenny. They gazed at the maid in disbelief and raised their eyes to stare at the entrance.
The tall white door was pushed open and footsteps were heard. Two shadows first came into view before a couple dressed in white matching outfits walked in.
They halted and glanced around before their eyes fell on the family. The young woman being held by the waist smiled gracefully and proceeded towards the family.
“Good evening, father.” The young woman, who was obviously Leia, lowered her head in respect and then glanced at her sisters. “It’s been quite a long time, sisters. I missed you both.” She walked to Jenny and pulled her into a short hug, then turned to Amy. She stared at her for a second before yanking her into a warm embrace. “I missed you the most.”
She chuckled softly and stepped back to stand beside Adrik.
Adrik wrapped his arms around her waist and outstretched his other hand to exchange a handshake with Mr. Adolpho. “It’s nice to see you again, father-in-law.” He smiled behind the silver mask on his face and retracted his hand after a shocked Mr. Adolpho, responded to his greeting.
“We apologize for coming without informing you guys first, but we wanted it to be a surprise, and… it indeed was.” Leia grinned mysteriously as she apologized, and Mr. Adolpho’s eyes fluttered.
He cleared his throat and glanced around the living room, then smiled at them, “I don’t mind. After all, it’s been quite a long time since I saw you. Come on-” He gestured them to the dining area, “-Make yourself at home.”
Adrik turned around and began to walk towards the dining area, with Leia walking beside him.
Amy, who stood beside her sister, fluttered her eyes in shock and took a long, heavy breath. ‘This isn’t real, right?’ She questioned herself in her heart as she gazed at Adrik pulling out a chair for Leia at the table.
How did this happen? How did the story change this much in a few months? All these aren’t real, right? Her hands began to ball into a tight fist and her eyes twitched in anger.
She was supposed to be miserable! She was supposed to call on the phone every day and complain about how much she was suffering! She wasn’t supposed to be happy!! Amy screamed internally, and her breathing became unsteady.
That happy life was supposed to be hers! No one but she deserves it because she is the little daughter of the Adolpho mansion! The treasured child!
She shut her eyes and took deep breaths to calm herself down, then opened them afterward, only to see Jenny staring at her with raised brows.
“What?” She asked, and Jenny shook her head at her. She walked up to her and grabbed her by the wrist, leading her to the dining table. “Let’s go.”
They smiled when they arrived at the table, and Amy walked to sit beside Leia. However, Jenny took the seat first, and she groaned in annoyance.
Having no choice, she ambled to take a seat in the chair near her father, who was seated at the head of the table.
A deadly silence filled the room as they patiently waited for the maids to arrive with the food.
Leia abruptly cleared her throat, drawing their attention, and turned her head to stare at her father. “How have you been, father? It has been so long that I just realized how much I have missed you right now. ” She smiled charmingly, and Mr. Adolpho’s eyes dwindled a bit.
He managed to crack a smile and nodded at her. “I have been very good. Thank you for asking. I must say you look really stunning and-”
“Beautiful than when I was living with you.” Leia turned her head to gaze at him, and a smile emerged on her face before she burst into a giggle at seeing Mr. Adolpho’s blank face. “Please forgive me, Father, I was joking. You took good care of me and that was why I was able to attract his attention.” She turned to Adrik and tucked a strand of his hair behind his ear.
Adrik smirked behind the mask on his face and nodded his head in agreement. “You indeed took care of her.” He chuckled softly and grabbed Leia’s hand, squeezing it.
“Ha… ha… ha…” Mr. Adolpho nodded at them as he laughed awkwardly and turned his head when the shelf trolley with different foods placed on it was pushed into the dining area by the maids.
They arrived at the dining table and took a very deep bow, then began to carefully arrange the food on the table.
Mr. Adolpho nodded and waved at them to leave when they were done.
He turned to Adrik and Leia and smiled at them. “Please, help yourself.”
Leia nodded at him and picked up her cutlery, then glanced down at the food before her. A smile spread across her lips and she raised her eyes, which were glowing to stare at him. “Aww… how sweet of you to actually ask them to make my favorite food.” She chuckled softly and rolled up a few strands of spaghetti with her fork. “I thought you might forget a few things about me because it has been quite a long time since we last saw each other at the party.” She parted her lips and slowly chewed on the food.
Mr. Adolpho blinked his eyes and slightly nodded at her. “True, it’s been quite a while, but… It doesn’t mean that I would forget you or the things you love. ”
Leia smiled and nodded at him in agreement. “You didn’t need to say it because I, for one, know you will never forget me. I am your daughter after all. ” She wiggled her brow at him, and Mr. Adolpho smiled awkwardly.
This is really becoming uncomfortable for him. Wasn’t she supposed to be rude and hateful towards him? Why is she all-loving and smiling at him? His eyes fluttered in confusion, and he glanced at Adrik. “Mr.. Avalanzo, aren’t you going to take a bite at least?” He asked, and Adrik turned to stare at him.
