MOMMY, I WANT MY DADDY 20.
POPPY:Who is calling me at this hour? I grumbled. The incessant ringing on my phone awakened me earlier than I set my alarm to. It had been ringing nonstop. I was supposed to be dismissing it, but it wouldn’t fucking stop! The caller should be thankful he or she was not destroying Kelly’s peaceful sleep. If not…still, this person needed to receive an earful of scoldings from me. Popping one eye open, the ray of sunlight had not entered my room. Not the time to awaken, yet. The ringing won't stop and the caller also had no plans of dropping the fucking call!Left with no choice, I slid my fingers on the screen and answered the phone. “Who is this?” I answered groggily. What day was it? Weekends? Weekdays?Too tired to know the answer. “Are you still lying on your bed?”Wait. That voice seemed familiar!My drowsiness disappeared upon recalling who was on the end of the line. Sebastian Holding. The devil incarnate. The reason why I am suffering now.I glared at the ceiling. Now

POPPY:You…It wasn’t meant to cause me embarrassment. So why do my cheeks keep on flushing as if I was damn affected? I was certain Sebastian did not mean anything to it. That question was based on pure curiosity. He is waiting for your answer on the other line, Poppy. Right. He did. But there was no way I would be telling him the truth. “Y-You heard wrong, Mr. Holding. W-why would my child want me to marry you?”“That child obviously has a taste in men.”“If you’re talking about yourself, then I would rather that she remain a child than grow up and face men like you,” I answered, not even sugar-coating my words. That was my baby down there. I heard a sharp intake of breath on the other side of the line. “Women said I am a catch.”“Perhaps it’s time I question my sexuality,” I retorted. “You have a sharp tongue, woman.”I smiled even if he did not see it. “That’s because I got to face a lot of men like you, Mr. Holding. Can we drop this topic and tell me what you need? I don’t
MOMMY, I WANT MY DADDY 22.
SEBASTIAN HOLDING:Women are the most complex individuals living on this planet. I could not imagine how a simple coffee would make Olivia agree to our marriage. There was nothing extraordinary about coffee. You needed her, the other part of my mind declared. I gritted my teeth. Fuck it. This should be worth a shot and if not, I will get back to that woman. She suggested this. I should be working by now, but instead, I wasted my time going there at Olivia’s house.“Where to?” Wyatt asked the moment I arrived at the garage. He was standing, leaving the passenger seat door open. “Anthony Hills.""We will be visiting Miss Olivia?” He raised his brows, surprise on his face. “At this hour? You normally do this.”"You're not the only one who is surprised."I was amazed at how I agreed to this. Making coffee for Olivia, huh? "What changed?"Nothing changed. I needed Olivia in my life. I wanted the company. Olivia is one of the women I needed to achieve that ambition. “Poppy, that wo

POPPY:I was already done bathing Kelly and cooking our food as well as cleaning the house but my mind was on Sebastian Holding which I knew shouldn’t be. I was supposed to hate him, not be worried about him. I shifted in my sitting position while staring at the mountain of plates on the sink. Because of Sebastian, I could not manage to touch the dishes. What the heck was wrong with you, Poppy? I did my best and now it was up to Sebastian to do the job right. If Olivia had turned him down again, it was not my fault anymore. If he did fail, knowing Sebastian Holding, he would always put the blame on me while saying he had given me the money. I should do my best, and I should give him the right result he wants. As if I had a hold on Olivia’s heart. Still, I could not help but wonder what had happened on his visit to Anthony Hills. As much as I did not like him, I should give my all in helping him to make this end as quickly as possible. Did he fail or did he succeed? Ugh. The w

POPPY:Sebastian Holding was coming over. My body went numb and my breathing became erratic. Why did my heart jump all of a sudden as if I had done something wrong to that man or was I wanting his presence?I shook my head. No. No. Impossible. This is madness.It was still a few days when I met that man and I could not allow myself to feel like this. I had a child for Pete’s sake and my child was my focus, not some silly feelings or whatever you call this. You stop feeling as if you will be seeing your crush for a long time, Poppy. So what if he came over? I looked at myself. Still wearing my sweaty pajamas. I needed to shower and wear something decent before Sebastian Holding arrived. Decent? It was not a requirement to make myself presentable. We will be grocery shopping and wearing shorts this summer season is also acceptable. It was time to show some skin, but not that much to attract perverts. “Mommy?”I was brought back to the present and was reminded that Kelly was stil

POPPY:You knew the feeling where it seemed like your mother had found out that you had done naughty things and you were busted?That was what I felt now as Sebastian Holding was giving me an intense stare. His gaze burned a hole in the top of my forehead, making me shuffle on my feet. I felt like I was small under his penetrated gaze.“What is it, woman?”“N-nothing. I did not say anything to her. It’s only her idea. Why would I also tell her that something seemed to be going on between us? It’s not like I like you.”I held my breath upon smelling his seductive smell. Was this what billionaire people smelt like? Delicious.No! Not delicious. Sebastian Holding was not an appetizer. He was not food. “You better not like me. I will repeat this over and over again. Do not fall for me, woman.”My brows furrowed. “I won’t, Mr. Holding. You are the last person I would ever fall in love with. I don’t have any plans on allowing any man to enter my life. Not even my ex-husband.”"It's too ea

POPPY:No one wanted to tear our gazes away. Definitely not me who does not want to back down. Wyatt had been glancing now and then in our direction, which was dangerous since he could not focus on his driving. "Mr. Holding. My apologies if I made you feel as if this work is nothing. But I assure you, one hundred one percent that I want to help you with everything I want. I want you and Miss Olivia to get wed as soon as possible." "Prove it. Your words and actions are two different things. The more days passed, the more my time has been wasted."Putting both hands on my hips, I snapped, "I will, Mr. Holding."Wyatt cleared his throat. "Can we all relax for a moment?" he asked. I folded my arms in front of my chest and exhaled in frustration. How can I relax? If this man continued testing my patience?“M-Mommy?” Kelly asked again, this time pulling my hand away. "Stop fighting. You're making me scared like before." Her voice trembled, while her hand shook. As shameful as it sounde

POPPY:Oh, shot.I forgot that Sebastian was a public figure and that anyone might be able to identify him inside the mall. "He looked like one," another woman whispered. "I saw him on one of the leaked videos with Olivia Green. But that video disappeared.""He must have erased it. You know how the rich work.""He's a billionaire as far as I remember.""Really?"The two looked dreamily at Sebastian. With a nervous look, I looked at Sebastian still letting Kelly hold him, unbothered. Maybe he did not hear them?“Ahm…excuse me, Mr. Holding?”“Yes? Where do you want to go? What are your needs?”I was planning to go to the grocery section. We did not have any more meat and vegetables as well as spices. Need to restock for a whole week. A month's worth was already out of budget. But that can wait. I could not disturb the two looking like real father and daughter. I made a mental note to thank Sebastian for keeping up with Kelly. Until now, I had not yet heard any ill words from him.
