105 Someone Special (2/2)

Sandra is more talkative, going into great details and telling me all about her days.

She didn't mention anything about the nightmares that keeps her up every night since her rescue. It comes and goes, and it has become less frequent now. She will get over it soon.

Lexi joins us some moments later.

It seems her fear of being alone in this haunted house helps her get over her memory. Her body is still shaken, as she has trouble walking properly. Still, she is trying her best.

”It looks like time is up, Honey. Let's see other places before we make our decisions.”

I suggest.

Lexi then drives me and Sandra to several more places for sale in total silence. She is no longer talkative and only response if I or Sandra asks her something. She didn't bother to sale-talk at all the places we are inspecting either.

”Is something wrong with the agent? She seems to be out of it.”

Sandra asks when we finally settle on an estate. It is quite nice and cozy, and it isn't overly expensive either. There is a nice yard in front and back of the house. There is no swimming pool, but the backyard is big enough for one to be built.

Like most houses on the market around this area, it comes with furniture.

”Probably. Umm… let me go and talk to her because we expect better services. Why don't you have a look around the house while I do?”

”Okay, but don't be long, Honey.”

Sandra gives me a kiss on the cheek before grinning. I chuckle and left the room to find Lexi. It didn't take long since she is waiting for a chance to talk to me. I have been glued to Sandra the whole time.

”You… you're my dad, Mr. Maxwell?”

Lexi questions. She still couldn't get her mind around my current age and appearance. I am actually younger than her, in appearance only. In age and experience, she is like a child in comparison to me.

”Hmm… do you want another demonstration?”

I question as I lean towards her.

”No!”

Lexi calls out and steps backwards repeatedly.

She would never want to go through all of that again. It is just far too terrifying.

”Why haven't you come and look for me? Where were you this whole time?”

Lexi questions when she has no room left to retreat. Her back is now against the large window, leading into the garden.

The sun is descending in the horizon, as it is getting late.

I am actually getting hungry after the whole day worth of work, but I could undo my hunger as easily with my power.

”Look for you, Miss Lester?”

I laugh out loud before stopping abruptly.

My face is right in front of hers. I could smell the expensive perfume oozing from her body alongside with her pheromones. I usually don't like the smell, but it is a nice fragrant, concocted by Infinite Health.

”You are not anything special.”

I spell it out for her before pulling myself back, standing straight.

My words are like a knife stabbing her heart, repeatedly.

Lexi has lived her entire life thinking she is special. It is the reason she runs away from home and finds her way in the world by herself.

And for someone like me to tell her otherwise, it just shatters her world.

Lexi is visibly shaken. Her legs weaken. Tears are pooling in her eyes.

I let out a sigh and give her an embrace.

It is probably the first time I give a hug to any of my daughters except for Antigone. Her slender hands slowly crawl up my back and shoulder. She grips my frame tightly, as if no one has ever hug her before – well, not sincerely and freely as I do.

The embrace last longer than necessary. I pull back and check her flushed face.

”If you want to be someone special, you have to prove to me that you are, Miss Lester. Now I have a date with your mother. Please don't interrupt us, okay?”

With that, I return to Sandra, who is waiting for me.

I really do enjoy my time with her.
