At the kindergarten.
It was half-past eight in the morning. The children had just eaten breakfast, and they were jumping around in the playground as they did their morning exercises. Each of their small faces were filled with the purest and most innocent smiles that were not tainted in any way.
Stefan looked at them and frowned slightly. “The children are all adorable. Do you like children?”
Xavia nodded slightly. After that, she pointed inside. “Do you see that little girl wearing the white princess dress with two braids?”
Stefan looked in the direction that Xavia pointed at, and he saw Yulia. He had a gentle and soft look in his eyes as she said, “Mhm. She is a very adorable little girl.”
“Her name is Yulia, and she is my biological daughter.”
At that instant, the air froze, and it seemed as though the whole world had quietened down.
One second.
Two seconds.
Three seconds later…
Stefan turned to look at Xavia. His eyes were filled with amazement and disbelief. “Did I mishear you, or are you just kidding with me?” She looked like the young lady of a humble family, and she was so youthful and beautiful. Which part of her did look like someone who had given birth to a child before?
Xavia did not avoid his gaze, and she said seriously, “You did not mishear me. She is my biological daughter. I met with an accident in a hotel when I was eighteen years old, and I was forced to have sexual intercourse with a man. I became pregnant after that. So in the past three years, my daughter, Yulia, and I have been relying on each other. I only named Yulia as my elder brother’s daughter because I was worried about the bad influence that it would have on her, but there are still some neighbors who know about this.”
Stefan’s deep and gentle expression became unreadable under the sun after listening to this.
He would never have thought that Xavia would have been pregnant before and that she had given birth to a child. The child was already three years old…
He did not know what to say for a moment.
Xavia already knew the answer, and she smiled as she said, “Chairman Talton, the person that I will date does not necessarily have to be a very outstanding man. The only condition is that he will have to accept my past and be willing to accept Yulia. I am not worthy of you, and you are suitable for an even more outstanding girl.
“I have to go back and take care of Maison. Goodbye.”
After saying that, she turned around and called for a cab before she left.
Stefan’s slender and noble figure was reflected in the mirror as he stood in place for a long time, unmoving. Then, when the distance was already too far, Stefan turned around and got into the car before he started his car and drove away, leaving in a low-key and steady manner.
