Please Take Me Home Daddy by Mona Surrey

Chapter 16 

Laura’s eves widened in disbelief. 

Did this mean she had a home now? 

Laura nervously clutched the hem of her dress and spoke with uncertainty. “Although I’m not your child, you’re still bringing me to meet my uncle?” 

Antonio’s eyebrows twitched faintly, barely noticeable, as he averted his gaze with a touch of guilt. “Yes, your uncle will give you a place to live. You’re no longer an orphan.” 

Laura gazed at him blankly, unable to utter a word. 

Grace, on the other hand, cried with tears of joy and embraced her tightly. “Lala, this is great! You’ve finally found yourself a home. Make sure to take good care of yourself when 

this time. Please, please don’t come back here again!” 

Laura blinked, still unable to understand the situation. 

“I now have a family where I can see Mr. Smith?” she thought. 

you go back 

Laura’s eyes suddenly brightened with excitement, and she couldn’t suppress a delighted smile. Yet, she swiftly concealed it, anxious that Antonio might perceive her as complacent. 

Nevertheless, she was still happy. 

Antonio swept his cold gaze over her, initially not intending to make eye contact. However, a sudden warmth bloomed in his heart as he witnessed her reaction, and the tension instantly dissipated. 

It felt as if the snow had melted and spring had arrived, with flowers blooming in abundance. 

Jasper and the others wore solemn expressions but couldn’t say much, given their father’s decision. They could only prepare to welcome their half–sister into their home. 

Zayn quietly departed without a word. 

No one noticed him when he left. 

The boys trailed behind him and felt sorry for him when they saw him like this. “Boss, since you like Laura so much, why don’t you stop her from leaving? Why not stay by her side until she leaves?” 

Another boy scratched his head and said, “That’s right. You can’t just show up whenever Laura gets into trouble and leave once she’s fine. You two are good friends, so you should… share good food

Another one of Zayn’s companions rolled his eyes. “It’s called sharing joys and sorrows and

enduring hardships together. Can you not spout nonsense, you uncultured idiot?” 

With a trace of hostility in his eyes, Zayn sat on the slide gloomily. “All of you, leave. Stop lingering around me. It’s annoying.” 

The young boys‘ expressions changed in fear, and they dared not say another word. They quickly turned around and left. 

Inside, Laura remained lost in a daze. 

She turned around and glanced into the classroom. Jasper’s occasional glances in her direction and her two other brothers, who seemed uninterested in her presence, made her feel somewhat disheartened. 

“Where is Zayn?” she asked. 

Grace thought about it and shook her head, saying, “I have no idea. That brat might have gone somewhere to sulk. When your biological mother took you away last time, he didn’t eat for days but got over it after a while.” 

Laura frowned as she turned around and ran outside. 

Grace immediately called out after her, ‘Lala! Where are you going?” 

Putting down his phone, Jasper looked at Laura’s retreating figure gloomily. He then took long strides and went after her. 

Laura noticed Zayn sitting on the slide. 

Seated solitarily on the slide platform, he gazed contemplatively into the distance. The sunlight enveloped his entire form, creating a fuzzy golden halo around him. 

He looked warm and lonely at the same time. 

She felt inexplicably sad. “Zayn.” 

Zayn’s body stiffened as he heard her gentle voice. He glanced sideways. “What are you doing 

here?” 

Laura frowned. 

She didn’t know why Zayn always made a fuss when she had to leave. Softly, she uttered, “I want to thank you. Thank you for saving me. You were so cool just now, just like Ultraman.” 

Zayn’s brows twitched as his irritation grew. “What bullshit. If only I really were Ultraman.” 

She sighed at his words. “Don’t curse, or Ms. Mitchell will scold you again.” 

Zayn furrowed his brows and turned around, looking down at her from the higher platform, his tone irritable. “I’m not afraid of her scolding! I’m not afraid of anything. I fear nothing in the

Laura said, “Then why didn’t you bid me goodbye? Why do you always hide away whenever we had. to part?” 

Zayn paused, stumped by her question, and his face fell.. 

eyes. 

It felt as if a tiny part of his heart had collapsed, completely crumbling away in his “It’s none of your business,” he said before turning away. “I don’t want to bid you farewell.”
