Mommy, Where's Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 18

Arriving at The First Diamond Hotel, Samantha hurriedly distanced herself from Ethan Wright.

The idea of a girl in a sweatshirt walking with a tall and handsome man in a custom-made suit just did not sit well with her. She said to Ethan, "Excuse me, Mr. Wright, do you mind... If I get changed first before having the meeting with you?"

She gulped down her own spew right after expressing her words, fearing for what he might think.

"Why are you walking away from me, Miss Davis? We clearly came out from the same car and entered the hotel together. Why are you standing two meters ahead from me?" Ethan probed after seeing Samantha walk ahead of him.

He turned to John and asked, "Is there something wrong with my face, John? Miss Davis seems to be ashamed of me."

While John Garcia turned to Samantha with glaring eyes, Samantha reasoned, "Oh, no! It's not that!"

Samantha wound up chuckling and said, "It's really not that. You just look so great and I - I am sweating all over in my jogging attire. I did not want you to be bothered by it."

She immediately pointed to the lift and asked, "Can I go now and I promise, I'll just take fifteen minutes! Then, I'll be back!"

Without warning, Ethan walked towards her and nearly closed the gap between them. He took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat off her forehead. He said, "Your sweat doesn't bother me."

Following his declaration, time practically froze when the great Ethan Wright wiped off the wetness on Samantha's forehead.

Everyone else seemed to have zoomed in on them.

From behind the scene, John Garcia thought he was ready to faint!

The receptionists that were working that day, including the same girl who aided Samantha when they first arrived, Cindy, also saw the remarkable scene. They all had their hands over their mouths, seeing how their boss was being affectionate with the new chef!

Aside from the number of eyes that were piercing through her body, Samantha, on the other hand, felt her heart raced. Her eyes widened by Ethan's actions and she found herself gulping repeatedly.

Realizing what he had done, Ethan pulled back his handkerchief and swiftly turned in the direction of the lift, and said, "Let's go."

"Um... to where?" Samantha asked after returning to her senses.

"Let's go to your condo," answered Ethan. "I need to give Kyle his request."

"Kyle?" Samantha asked while hastily following behind Ethan.

While pointing out what John was carrying, Ethan explained, "Your son sent me a message in W******p, telling me how you need an updated windows version."

He glanced at the puzzled expression of Samantha and said, "I figured, you might as well get a new laptop."

Putting his hands in his pocket, he added, "Then, this morning. I thought, since you may be using this for work, it may be better for Kyle to have his own laptop. So I bought him his own."

Samantha practically heaved, covering her mouth with her hands, and said, "What?" After pausing, she stated, "Oh, Mr. Wright. You really did not have to! And since when did my son in contact with you?"

"Since we met... In any case, I already bought them. The computer shop has a no return policy," said Ethan with his stern expression.

In front of them, John Garcia was utterly bewildered. Edgar never mentioned about a "No Return Policy."

John wound up attempting to correct his boss, "Actually, Mr. Wright, the computer shop - "

"There is a no return policy! I spoke to the owner himself!" Ethan cut off his words, seemingly understanding what John was about to say.

"Right. Right, Mr. Wright!" John's brows furrowed before he said, "Mr. Wright is always Right."

Everything was happening so fast that Samantha could not think of a way to counter the acceptance of the laptops. She thought, 'How in the world am I going to refuse this? This is just too much!'

"You are very generous, Mr. Wright, but," Samantha tried to object.
