SWNOVELS Chapter 4
Chapter 4
Angie was furious and held the little girl in her arms. “Lala, your mother won’t be coming back.”
Laura’s heart skipped a beat. “Why?”
“Because she is…” Angie paused for a moment, finding it hard to say the word “dead” to a child. Hence, she managed. “She’s gone to heaven to become a superhero.”
Laura tilted her head and asked, “What is a superhero?”
“Um… A superhero is one of those powerful adults you see on television.”
“Like Queen Giselle?” Laura asked innocently.
Angie nodded and said, “Yes! She went to become Queen Giselle, so she can’t take care of you.
anymore.”
Laura hung her head in disappointment.
Angie was stunned. “Lala, don’t you wonder why your mother didn’t take you with her?”
The other police officers came out one by one and looked at the little girl.
Laura’s face was filled with sorrow as she shook her head and said, “Mommy told me that if she has a good place to go in the future, she will not bring me along. Instead, she’ll leave me at home to fend for myself.”
Laura felt the urge to cry but pouted her lips, struggling to hold back her tears. “I know that Mommy will leave someday. When the time comes, I must be happy for Mommy and can’t be sad.”
However, sadness still overwhelmed Laura to the point that she felt like bawling her eyes out. She covered her eyes and said, “But I’d be alone again…”
All the officers looked at her sadly.

Even the elderly police chief, who was experienced in life, couldn’t help feeling sorry for the pitiful girl.
She was still so young, yet she had suffered so much.
Antonio walked in to see this scene.
The little girl who looked almost, identical to him was nestling in the arms of a policewoman,
tearfully holding a packet of dried pasta. She w

“She’s ridiculously cute,” he thought.

He felt slightly short of breath, and even the three young men’s gaze darkened when they saw the
child.
“This child… How can she be so cute?” they wondered.
However, they soon came to their senses.
They thought to themselves, “No. She is that woman’s offspring, and that woman excelled at pretending to be innocent. Perhaps the girl also inherited her mother’s ability and is now playing dumb to deceive us.”
A whirlwind of emotions raged in Antonio’s eyes.
The three young men were about to step forward, but Antonio stopped them. “Listen to what she has to say first.”
The police chief noticed him and was about to say something when Antonio shook his head, gesturing for him to remain silent.
In response, the police chief shut his mouth in confusion.
He belatedly realized that the child resembled Antonio.
The police chief’s eyes lit up in enthusiasm, eager for some juicy gossip. Similarly, Angie noticed Antonio, too. Startled, she looked at Laura with uncertainty. “Are you sure you don’t have a daddy?”
Angie wondered, “If she doesn’t have a daddy, then who is this handsome and charming man? Those three young men look so similar to her, too.”
Laura tearfully nodded and then shook her head again.
Antonio narrowed his eyes.
“What does that mean?” he mused.
Laura said, “I do have a daddy.”
As soon as her adorable voice fell, everyone looked at Antonio.
Antonio’s expression was dark.
The three brothers snorted and thought, “Here it comes. She’s going to try to chimb up the social. ladder by using us as her stepping stones.”
To their surprise, Laura sniffled and said softly, “But Mommy says Daddy doesn’t want me anymore and doesn’t like me at all. So, I don’t want to look for him.”
Her words were like a bolt from the blue, rendering everyone speechless.
Angie wondered where did that come from.

The corners of Angie’s mouth twitched as she glanced at Antonio subconsciously. “But what if your daddy’s here to pick you up?”
Laura shook her head and said, “Daddy won’t come. Daddy doesn’t know that I exist. Mommy said that Daddy once tried to kill me. If he sees me again, he will try to kill me again.”
The police officers were shocked.
Antonio was confused.
The three brothers were puzzled as well.
Meanwhile, Louis thought to himself, “What kind of gory drama is this? Should I call the police?”
