Dominic had only just finished his second class and stopped by Drunk Elysium for a quick meeting, Little did he know that he would run into Chloe.
The moment Chloe called him Daddy, his heart skipped not just one, but two full beats, then kicked into overdrive. I felt exactly like lying down to sleep, only to have someone slide a pillow under his head. It was almost as if the universe had decided to deliver what he had wished for.

And just like that, a storm brewed in his eyes. His icy gaze alone felt sharp enough to freeze every staff member in place
“N–Nr. Lancaster…” one of them stammered, glancing nervously at the others.
So, this little girl was Dominic’s daughter?
Dominic didn’t even acknowledge them. He simply reached out and scooped Chloe into his arms before comforting her gently, “Don’t cry. I’m here.”

“Tell me if it hurts,” he said gently.
Chloe nodded but kept quiet. She used to handle scrapes like this on her own. It wouldn’t make her cry.
Meanwhile, Xander was already bawling. “Ow! It hurts! Sir, be gentle!”
Joseph sighed, helpless. He hadn’t even touched Xander’s wound yet.
Chloe shot Xander a look of pure disdain. “Stop crying!”
Xander blinked, then stopped. Now he was just sniffling in pitiful little hiccups.
Dominic looked at the bossy expression on Chloe’s face. It was just like Hannah when she got all fierce and feisty. He couldn’t help but smile.
But the moment Dominic realized Hannah had brought Chloe to a place like this, his expression darkened. “What was your mom thinking? Why would she bring you here? Where is she? That’s so irresponsible!”
What if something had happened to Chloe?
