Episode 18

Zoey and the man had no idea that they were related. They just looked at each other without realizing how special their connection was.

The nanny, seeing Zoey crying, immediately approached the little girl. Meanwhile, Mirna, who saw Zoey's nanny walking quickly, became curious and went to see what was happening.

Meisya's older sister widened her eyes when she saw the face of the man she knew very well. Yes, the man was Ello, the biological father of the twins who had ruined Meisya's future. Although Ello had visited her house several times to look for Meisya every time he had a break from college.

Mirna had initially wanted to approach the man to keep him away from Zoey, but Rendy quickly stopped her movement. The woman could only look at her husband with a confused expression and a racing heartbeat, annoyed by what she had seen from Ello earlier.

"Are you going to follow him so he'll know that Zoey is Meisya's child? Zoey is already taken care of by her nanny, if you show up there, Ello will be able to tell from Zoey's face that she is Meisya's child," Rendy said before glancing at Zoey and Ello again.

Ello was seen stroking Zoey's hair and saying something. He also wiped away the tears that were wetting the chubby cheeks of the little girl who was his own daughter.

Mirna regulated her breathing. What Rendy said was true. Meisya had been avoiding Ello all this time because her wounds and disappointment were still too deep. Moreover, Meisya still felt hurt by Ello's parents' insult to her, so she didn't want to introduce Ello to their own flesh and blood.

"Where do you like to play? Uncle will come there later, and if we meet, Uncle will give you a replacement doll, okay!" Ello said while holding Zoey's hand.

The girl nodded faintly, unsure if she and Ello would meet again after this. Still sobbing, she looked at the doll that would never return to its original form after being stepped on by Ello.

Suddenly, Zio pulled Zoey's hand, holding two ice creams. "Let's go home. Daddy said we shouldn't stay too long with strangers we don't know, or else you'll be kidnapped!" Zio's gaze at Ello seemed like a war flag. He was behaving like an older brother protecting his younger sister.

Ello smiled at Zio's attitude towards him. "Uncle is not a kidnapper, alright? You just relax!" Ello said. He looked at Zio's innocent face, which was also looking at him with an expression of dislike.

The combination of Zio and Zoey's faces, which were a mix of Ello and Meisya, apparently made it hard for Ello to recognize his own children. Maybe if both children's faces resembled his, Ello would easily recognize them.

"Bye, Uncle. I'm going home!" Zoey said, then left Ello while holding Zio's hand.

Ello continued to watch the departure of the two twin children, which suddenly stirred his heart. There was a strange feeling when he looked at the two children from behind. He didn't know what exactly he was feeling, but one thing was for sure, Zoey and Zio had disrupted his current state of mind.

"The eyes of that child, it must be just a coincidence that they resemble Meisya. I miss her so much that I'm hallucinating about that little girl," Ello murmured, then sat in the spot where Zoey was earlier.

He took out his phone and stared at Meisya's beautiful face still stored in his phone gallery. "Sya, I'm back now. I will search for you wholeheartedly. Won't you meet me yet?"

Yes, Ello had just arrived in this country after completing his education and starting his career. He had already received project offers upon his return. Ello's name in the world of architecture was starting to be recognized, especially since he had a father who had been involved in this business for a long time.
