Chapter 24 - Fate Brought Us Together (1/2)
Imagine his surprise when the woman who's been keeping him awake late at night was the one he saw when he stepped out of the elevator. Hero could tell she was also surprised to see him while Joanna stood next to her.
What was she doing here with his sister?
”Finally! I've been waiting forever, and you finally decided to show up!” Joanna huffed before pulling on Luna's arm to introduce her to Hero.
”I want you to meet someone. Remember the one I told you? The person Amber likes very much? This is her.” Joanna glanced at Luna before turning back her attention to her brother. ”This Luna Jiang. Luna, I want you to meet my brother, Hero Li.”
But Luna stayed silent, still surprised to see the man she met in the hotel room.
Taking advantage of her shock, Hero stepped forward and took one of her hands. He leaned down and placed a chaste kiss on it. He reveled at the smoothness of her hand against his.
”Pleasure to meet you, Miss Jiang. My sister told me good things about you. I hope Amber didn't give you problems recently.”
Luna snapped out of her daze and pulled her hand away from his hold. She noticed the amusement in his eyes and the devilish grin on his lips as he looked at her. Her breath hitched, and she could feel her blush spreading from her face down to her neck.
Why's he pretending like he didn't know her? There's no mistaking that he was the same man she'd slept with back in the hotel. Same eyes, same face, same scent that made her knees weak in his presence. She looked around, trying to figure out if there's a way to escape from his prying eyes.
Wait.
Luna's eyes widened when she realized she missed a piece of vital information. Didn't Joanna say this man was her brother? That meant …
”You're Amber's father …” she stated the obvious; but to Hero and Joanna, it seemed like she was asking a question.
Hero was taken aback. He dearly hoped that Luna wasn't bothered by the fact that he already had a child.
”I am,” he admitted. He would never deny Amber was his child in the first place.
