5. She tried to kidnap my son!

Chloe pulled the little body toward her, holding him tightly in her chest as her heart throbbed in fear.

However, in a haste move to save him, Chloe's feet slipped and she fall flat on her back.

A knock of air just forced out of her chest and for a good second everything was dark before her eyes.

She lay there on her back, still holding the little boy tight to her chest. Even after she fall, Chloe did not lose her grip on him. It's an instinct she grew over the years after losing something so close to her heart. Her only hope of light.

The place was pin dropped silent around for a split second. Soon, hasty footsteps and screams of a name made the place chaotic.

Chloe sat up, still holding the baby boy in her arms. The little boy turned to her and that stopped her breath for the time being.

He seemed around three years old. His gorgeous golden eyes were curiously watching her. Chloe's heart clenched tightly. Seeing this little boy, took her back to her dreaded past, where she craved something like this in her arms.

"You okay?" Her tone was softer and her eyes turned teary for no reason. The pain in her back vanished just by watching the little boy.

The boy stared at her blankly. But those eyes still hold the curiosity in them.

A few seconds later, he answered with a single nod. But enough for Chloe to be relieved.

The boy still watching her. His golden eyes were so much dull than other children of his age.

While watching him closely, His features felt so familiar. But before Chloe could think about it, a cold voice grabbed her attention.

"How dare you!?" It was Alexander. Followed him a few servants, including his Assistant and butler.

After kicking her out of the mansion, Alexander didn't feel like eating anymore and went to find his son. However, he only find his nanny talking on her phone and his son wasn't around!

Dark thoughts coursed through his heart as he hastily started searching for Leonor, ordering the maids to lock that nanny in a room for him to deal with later.

However, Leonor was nowhere in the whole mansion until the guard informed him, that new woman had once again entered the mansion and had been seen with the little master beside the pool.

The news proved true and his already ruined mood turned distraught at the scene.

He stepped forward and snatched away the little boy from Chloe. For a second, her chest emptied. The same feeling of loss crept into her, squeezing her heart. However, just like before, she was helpless.

Alex stood straight. "Report her to the police. She tried to kidnap my son!"

His cold tone fell as he turned around to walk away.

On the other side, Chloe was still sitting on the ground. Her mind was jammed and she does not know how to react to this situation. Now she realised why the little boy's features were so familiar! He is a carbon copy of his father!

But wait! What did he just say?! Kidnap? And her?

Chloe "...."

She was rendered speechless.

This man is proving his evilness in each action! For God's sake, she just saved him! And now, his evil father is forcefully blaming her as a kidnapper!

Is that how people get paid after helping now-a-days? Or this man just doesn't know how to show gratitude!?

Alexander on the other hand was furious. He did not bother about the intruder. He wouldn't even stop, but when he did not earn any response from his butler or Assistant. Frowning, Alex turned around and watched them staring at that dumb woman still.

Their eyes were wide in shock. They have witnessed an unusual that turned them speechless at this point.

"Don't you hear what I said?" He is turning even more furious. How dare they ignore his command!?

Butler Daniel composed himself first and turned his gaze to his master, still baffled.

"Master, didn't you notice?" He asked, doubtfully. Didn't he notice the unusual behaviour of little master? How could that be!? Does hatred make him so blind?

Alexander's frown deepened. "What do you..." Alex could not complete his words and paused when Leonor forcibly slipped from his arms and ran toward the woman beside the pool.

Chloe has lost her all hopes by then. Now, it's only her time to count death. She has never thought of her but her mother only. Because of her stupid fate, her mother and only family need to suffer.

As she was drowned in her sorrows with no way out, suddenly, she was hugged by a pair of little arms.

Blinking, she turned aside to once again be welcomed by those golden eyes. They seemed less dull at this moment while watching her.

"Mama." The only word Leonor muttered. Clear and Evident, making everyone freeze on their feet.

Chloe did not know how to react at this point. She stared at the little guy, staring at his expectant little face to get something in return. But, what could someone like her give him in return? And why even he called her mama!?

Her eyes darted up to the man, whose cold gaze was enough to freeze her to death. Her eyes roamed to the others and their expressions were similar to her. Shocked...

Chloe turned her gaze down again to the boy. "I... I am not your mama." She muttered the truth. But, why does it hurt so bad? She is just stating the fact! Why does it feel like her heart is ripped to think this boy is misunderstood?

But, no answer in return.

A glimpse of sadness crossed in those clear golden eyes. His little heart broke and that made Chloe so devastatedly uncomfortable.

She hold his face and kissed his little nose. Can't help herself to engulf what she craved for years. That guilt of times, she can't go through that again.

"But, you can call me, mama." She stated, not realising what she is doing, or what would happen in the next second. Chloe just can't break the little guy's heart.

Sorrows were gone and his golden eyes gleamed again. He is allowed to call her Mama! The excitement in Leonor's little heart was like fireworks.

As Chloe and Leonor were drowned in their own moments, the people around them were rendered speechless. And the most affected one was Alexander himself.

Yes, it's natural for a child to build trust in a person who saved them, but it's not usual in Leonor's case.

He is diagnosed with a rare condition of autism. Haphephobia. This is so extreme that Leonor does not like human contact. He lives in himself and the only person who could touch him is his father. Well, that is until now, before that strange woman walked into the mansion...
