“What's wrong? Aren't you happy about me being your foster dad for that day?”.
“That's not it. What about Jordan? He was really upset as well, also he was bullied by others. Won't you come for him as well?”.
When Zayn heard her words he was suddenly reminded of his responsibility toward his son, which he has neglected all along. He quickly put on a smile and said.
“You don't have to worry about him, I'll come for the both of you. We'll be one big family, isn't that great?”.
“Of course, it would be. Right, mommy?” Jenna cheered up and smiled at Zayn.
“I'll see you guys later, I still have a meeting. Be a good girl, alright?” Zayn said before he left for his meeting.
After making sure that he was indeed out of sight, Erica picked up her phone and asked Jenna to eat her food as she went aside to make a call.
“He's agreed to stand as a dad for Jenna. But I don't understand one thing, why are you letting him get close to Jenna? Don't you know the consequences of this?”
“Handle that and leave the rest of the matter to me”. The person on the other side of the line instructed and quickly disconnected the phone. Erica exhaled and returned to her seat.
Bethany tapped the back of her phone against her palm after ending the call, she stared at the space for a while. This was her plan all along. She didn't want him to ignore Jordan at all since that was his initial intention toward the little kid. She felt bad about the fact that Jordan was born to such worthless parents and felt even worse knowing that she lost a child before.
Just as she was lost in thought, her phone vibrated. She already knew who it was and wasn't surprised by it.
“I'm sorry, Bethany but I won't be able to come along with you to Fair age anymore, something urgent came up”.
“It's fine, Mr. Meyer, I'll manage on my own”.
In the next few days, she continued giving him different types of herbal soups.
On the weekend, Zayn realized that his shirt felt tighter than usual when he was changing into one. He soon realized that something was off and stood on the weighing scale. He went silent upon seeing the number displayed on the scale.
After a brief pause, he rubbed his temple and took off his shirt. He changed into a casual outfit and went out. Jenna and Jordan's new kindergarten was called Sapphire Kindergarten. Zayn arrived early. He waited by the car for more than ten minutes until he finally saw Erica and her daughter. "Mr. Meyer."
The little girl ran up to him happily after they got out of the car Erica was walking behind them. She was a bit worried seeing how much the little girl liked Zayn, but the feeling soon disappeared. Whatever. So what if they were close?
It would be fine as long as she didn't tell her that Zayn was her father.
She smiled while thinking about it and walked over, "Mr. Harvey, sorry for the wait. There was a slight traffic jam on the way."
"It's no big deal, I wasn't waiting for too long," Zayn replied as he grabbed Jenna and held her hand. "Mommy, Mr. Zayn looked good today!" said Jenna as she clapped her hands. Only then did Erica notice that Zayn was wearing casual clothing. She was taken aback. It was her first time seeing him in a casual outfit. But he still looks good.
"You're right, he looks nice," said as she rubbed her daughter's face. Jenna nodded.
Zayn felt embarrassed hearing them praising him, he cleared his throat and tried to change the topic, "Okay, it's about time. Let's go in. I still have to pick Danica and Jordan"


Erica felt her mood getting soiled when she heard that Zayn was going to pick up Danica. What a bad day it was about to be! Why did Bethany even think of bringing me here? Erica thought.
She was so lost in thought that she didn't realize that Zayn had taken Jenna to the car. Upon getting close to the car, he suddenly noticed that Erica was still fixed at the spot. He looked back and called out for her, “Miss Burnett, are you alright?”.
Erica quickly came out of her daze when she heard him calling out for her.
“Yes, I'm alright Mr. Meyer. I'll be right there” With that, she hurried over and got into the car. When she got into the car, she noticed Jenna sitting in the front seat along with Zayn. That's not even the issue but how close and intimate they were with each other at this moment.
They were like an inseparable father and daughter bonded by love.
Seeing this, Erica felt her heart racing very fast and she couldn't do anything to control it; she was afraid of what Bethany might do if she ever came across the intimacy between the two–she would be shattered.
The simple thought of this matter sent several shivers of fear down Erica's spine.
“I hope Bethany doesn't see this!”
Erica whimpered under her breath as she brought her face outside of the car through the slide-down window. After about thirty minutes of driving, they arrived at the Medina mansion.
Zayn wined down the glass of the car to have a look at the house before he stopped the screeching sound of the car. He looked at the environment with a scrutinizing gaze before he opened the door.
“Wait here with your mom, Jenna. I'll just go in and get Jordan and his mommy. Is that fine?” Zayn asked before he finally stepped out of the car when he saw Jenna nodding her head vigorously.
“Miss Burnett, I'll be hard in a minute” He announced before he finally left in a hurry.
Erica watched him leave until he disappeared into the environment of the mansion, only then did she heave a sigh of relief as she was initially on a hot seat.
Watch that bitch cause a ruckus when she gets here!
“Godmother, why do you look so pale and wane? Are you sick, don't you want to come with me just like Miss Burnett did?” Jenna asked when she looked back and saw Erica exhaling sharply.
“What are you saying, Jenna? Why wouldn't I want to come with my cute baby?”
“But why do you look so tense right now?”
“I'm not tense, I'm not just feeling too well at the moment. I'll be fine by the time we get there. Also, who said that Miss Burnett wouldn't come with?” Erica asked.
“How will she come......”
Before Jenna could finish her tension she saw Jordan and Zayn approaching the car. The sight of Jordan coming over arose a series of joy in Jenna's heart; her face lit up with joy immediately. She got up from her seat and was about to go out to meet them when Erica asked her to sit back down. Erica noticed Danica walking toward the car as well, but she was walking at a slower pace. She was making a call as she did.
Jordan came toward the car and was about to open the door when he suddenly heard someone calling out his name at that moment. He was stunned and stepped away from the car.
“Hey, what are you doing? it's me, Jenna”
“What? Jenna, you're here too? What are you doing here?” Jordan asked with his eyes wide open in surprise.“What do you think I'm doing here? Of course, I'm going for the family day out with my mommy and your daddy.”
“Woah! We are going to have so much fun with us having the biggest family there is”.
Jordan was delighted at the thought of having Jenna for many at the event. Not only that, but her mother would also be coming along.
Just as they were talking, Danica finally met up with them in front of the car. She seemed very pissed off and she yelled at Jordan without firstly noticing the presence of other people in the car.
“Why are you wasting time over there? Get in the car and let's go” She waved her hand, getting the signal Jordan went to the back seat and got into the car.
Zayn was already seated in the driver's seat, waiting for Danica to get into the car.
Danica walked toward the front seat without noticing that Jenna was sitting there. She pushed the door open and was shocked at the sight of the little girl.
“Hey brat, what are you doing here?” She asked glaring at Jenna, who folded her hands around her chest in rage.
“Can't you hear me? What are you doing here with Zayn, get out and go to the back seat. This is my space, you can't sit here”
“Why can't I sit here? It's not like your name is written on here, is it?” Jenna said, puckering her face.
Hearing her words, Danica was at a loss and couldn't find a comeback for the little girl. Instead, she turned to Zayn for help even though she was aware that he was never going to help her out.
“Zayn!!” She whined and called out to him.





However, Zayn remained unfazed despite her whining, after a while, he simply
glanced at her and said, “Didn't you hear her? You should stay in the back seat”.
Danica grudgingly went to the back and angrily slid open. However, she was met with another round of surprises.
She frowned her face deeply when she saw the woman sitting in the back seat of the car, she couldn't help but yell out in grievance with disgust written all over her face.
“Who the fuck are you? And what do you think you're doing here?” She asked, holding the door then she looked at Erica, waiting for answers.
Erica simply ignored her question and focused on fiddling with her nails, which in turn irritated the hell out of Danica even more.
“Can't you hear me talking to you, you ugly Zeon” She shouted.
Hearing her irrational words, Zayn got angry.
