Please Take Me Home, Daddy - Chapter 90: Chapter 90

The murmur of the discussion gradually faded away.
Antonio opened the elevator with a gloomy face and motioned for Laura to enter.
Neither of them spoke the entire time.
Laura had no idea why she would feel nervous standing next to Antonio.
Although she had participated in a variety show and met many older boys and girls, she would still feel nervous when seeing Antonio.
She always felt that Antonio was her biological father.
She always had such an illusion.
Therefore, Laura would act particularly reserved in front of Antonio, fearing that he would not like her.
Laura secretly looked up at Antonio.
Antonio was in a bad mood.
There was no other reason for his mood to turn bad. He could just let his assistant go downstairs to pick up the child, but he did not know why his body moved automatically to do that himself the moment he heard Robert had left her downstairs.
When he heard Laura mention her father was dead, his mood immediately sank.
That was why his mood turned extremely bad.
Yet, he could not tell how it caused his mood to turn sour.
Seeing that Antonio was unhappy, Laura felt a little scared. "Mr. Smith, do you not like me?"
Antonio was stunned upon hearing the question and glanced at the child.
Laura blinked her big eyes nervously. "I just spoke up for you because those people thought I was your daughter. I also clarified it for you and didn't cause any trouble. I said my dad is dead, so don't worry about anyone getting any misunderstandings. Please don't worry!"
Antonio frowned and turned his head away in frustration. "Your father is not dead. Don't say that again anymore!"
Even if her father was not dead, he might pass away on the spot after hearing the statement.
Laura's eyes lit up, and she asked expectantly, "Do you know my daddy? Have you seen him?"
Antonio was not in the mood to answer.
Laura stood on tiptoe and swayed the man's hand. "Is he tall? Is he amazing? Does he look handsome? Is he strong? Can he pick me up easily?"
Antonio's eyes darkened as he lifted his gaze, staring at his reflection in the mirror of the elevator.
He could say that not only had he seen Laura's father, but Laura was seeing him every day.
Laura waited expectantly for a while. Seeing that Antonio did not respond, she simply gave up.
She thought Antonio was really fierce, and the man's attitude even caused the child to miss Robert.
Then, the elevator stopped.
Antonio did not even look back at Laura and strode out of the elevator.
Laura ran behind him with her short legs.
Seeing them walking side by side, the employees passing by were surprised. They whispered among themselves, "Is that Mr. Smith's daughter?"
"They look so alike, but I have never heard of Mr. Smith having a daughter."
Antonio's face was gloomy the entire time.
Laura followed the man with an anxious expression on her face. "I'm not his daughter. He's not my daddy. My daddy doesn't want me anymore!"
All the employees of the company were confused.
Antonio kept silent.
Laura held her skirt tightly. Once an employee passed by and glanced at her, she would nod at them and say in a sweet voice, "Hello, sir. He's not my daddy. My daddy doesn't want me anymore!"
The employees were taken aback by Laura's greeting.
Antonio's veins nearly burst out. He clenched his fists tightly, enduring the situation.
The sweet and cute voice kept sounding in his ears.
"Hello, Miss. My daddy doesn't want me anymore. Mr. Smith is not my daddy!"
"He's not my daddy. My daddy doesn't want me anymore!"
"My daddy doesn't want me!"
"Daddy doesn't want me!"
The more Antonio listened, the more his facial muscles twitched. He pulled the child to his office and directly brought her to the couch.
He spoke with a tone so deep, as if he just emerged from the abyss. "Laura, stay here. You're not allowed to go anywhere as long as I don't take you out. There's a restroom in this room. Call me if you need anything, or tell the lady at the door. Okay?"
