Chapter 97 - Do you believe in Fate? (2) (1/2)

”No, it's alright. He should be coming over now. Thanks though and it's good to see you, Hugh. I didn't expect to see you here.” April smiled.

Cefei scratched the back of his head. Didn't know if he stepped over an invisible boundary. ”Yeah, It's nice seeing you too. I didn't know you were from here. So please, don't think that I followed you. My family lives here and does business around England.”

April could see the awkwardness on his eyes. She chuckled. ”Oh, by the way. This is my son, Sky. Sky, this is mommy's friend. You can call him Uncle Hugh.” April gently pulled Sky to the front.

Sky's eyes were like a puppy, as Cefei finally focused his gaze on April's son. He could see the resemblance with him and his friend Alex. He bent one of his knees so Sky didn't have to look up. ”Hello there, little fellow.” He smiled warmly at him.

Sky looked at the man in front of him and then looked at his mom. April saw the hesitation on his eyes, so she nodded and smile to give him some encouragement. Seeing his mom smiling, Sky looked back to the person in front of him. ”Hello.”

Sky's voice was so small, he could barely hear. Yet that voice sounded so melodic, it made Cefei smile. ”Have you been a good boy to your mommy during the flight?”

Sky nodded. ”Sky was behaving.” he answered.

Cefei patted Sky's hair. He was already fond of this young man. ”That's good. Continue behaving and take care of your mom for me.” he smiled and got up.

”If you change your mind, this is my number. Call me if you still need a ride home.” Cefei handed April his card.

April accepted the card and looked at it. There wasn't anything else on it aside from a cellphone number. ”Thanks, Hugh. I'll see you around then. This is my business card.” April handed him hers.

There was also a cute tiny dog in a mug beside it. Cefei couldn't help but smile. ”Thanks. I'll see you around. You too little fellow.” He ruffled Sky's hair and turned around. Seeing that his boss was coming back, Tommie helps his boss get in the car and closed the door.

April looked at the card on her hand again, she sighed and pocketed it. She took out her phone again and started dialing Alex's cellphone. ”Sorry, the number your dialing is currently unavailable. Please call again.”

She bit her lips and sat down near a waiting bench. She helped Sky sat down and pulled the trolly closer. She waited and waited, hoping that Alex was just on traffic. 30 minutes past and still no sign of the man in question. It was now almost 8 in the morning.

”Mommy? where is daddy?” Sky couldn't help but wonder.

April patted her son's hair and pulled him in her embrace. ”Daddy probably is busy.” She didn't want to think about it. She didn't dare think that Alex had forgotten his promise to pick them up.

”Let's call Aunt Josie and see if she can get us. Is that okay?” April smiled at her son. Although she was disappointed at Alex, she needed to stay calm. There must be a reason why he didn't show up.

Josie instantly picked up the phone and said that she'll be there within the next 30 minutes. April sighed in relief and patted her son. Alex, where are you? she whispered in her heart.

”She is still waiting, Sir. Should we give them a ride?” Tommie announced. That's right, they haven't left the Airport. Instead, they had turned around and parked somewhere close yet hidden from view.
