Chapter 5
A grin spread across Erika’s chubby face and she asked in her tender voice.
Sebastian looked down at her sullenly with his dark eyes. "Sit." He didn’t answer Erika’s question, but went on reading the financial magazine in his hands.
The assistant said at this moment, "little lady Joanna, how come you don’t recognize your dad after you came back? Look at this photo. Do you see how happy you look with Mr. Grant?" The assistant passed his phone to Erika as he spoke.
In the photo, a little girl in pigtails stood in front of a big and handsome man with a doll in her arms, but she was pouting angrily.
Erika couldn’t help but smirk. So this was how she looked when she was "happy"? Was there something wrong with the assistant’s eyes?
Just as Erika was about to taunt the assistant, she saw another little guy in the corner of the photo and exclaimed suddenly, "Isn’t that Lukas?"
No sooner had she finished her words than the atmosphere in the car became tense again.
The assistant took away his phone quickly and said in a nervous and guilty tone, "I’m sorry, Mr. Grant. I just wanted show little lady Joanna this picture, and I forgot that…"
Sebastian interrupted his assistant as his face clouded over. "Go back to the Sunshine Villa."
"Yes," the assistant replied at once and started the car.
Meanwhile, the look on Erika’s face became serious, her eyes fixed on Sebastian.
The little girl in the photo closely resembled her, while the little boy in the corner her two elder brothers.
What was going on?
Could this handsome man who appeared all of a sudden really be her dad?
With that thought, Erika looked at Sebastian and asked curiously, "Dad, can you tell me your birthdate?"
"Be quiet," Sebastian said, poker-faced.
Sebastian saw the injured look on Erika’s face, both his heart and voice softening. "What do you want?"
"I can give you a read on our relationship as a family," replied Erika.
Eric, who was driving the car, broke into laughter upon hearing that. "When did you learn to read one’s fortune, little lady Joanna? How about give me a read? I was born on 5th of April, 1985. How’s my luck financially toady?"
Erika stared at the back side of Eric’s head for a long time earnestly and finally clicked her tongue. "Awful. Since God isn’t on your side today, you’ll lose a fortune."
"Hahaha, I’m afraid you’re wrong, little lady Joanna The stock I bought lately almost went through the roof this morning. Apparently, I’ll make a fortune," Eric said, beaming with pleasure. He thought to himself. After all, little lady Joanna was still a girl of five, and she couldn’t be right. He would just take it as a joke. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Eric even started to comfort Erika. "little lady Joanna, it’s better for you so say something auspicious in the future. In that case, even if what you say isn’t accurate, people will still get happy."
Erika got upset and folded her arms over her chest, saying like an adult, "Maybe you wouldn’t believe it, but it’s destined to happen."
The moment Erika finished speaking, Eric’s phone rang. It was from his friend who also bought the same stock. As soon as Eric tapped the answer button, the man’s wail came from the other end of the line. "We’re done for, Eric! There’s something wrong with that stock which was going up rapidly, and that company was shut down. But one hour before that, we bought more shares and now, our five million is gone!"
