Chapter 174: Stepdad or Adopted Dad?

Enzo was at a loss for words. This little girl truly reminded him of Lanny. Their feisty characters were very similar to each other. Kimmy was as bold and aggressive as Lanny.

’Damn. Why am I thinking about her even at times like this.’ Enzo scratched his head and smiled sheepishly.

He was there to buy clothes for both Alice and him. He planned on bringing Alice to a cozy restaurant for their dinner date tonight. He had already applied for a one-day leave from work. Fortunately, his manager from Goddess Elixir Cafe approved his leave of absence today so he had time to go shopping.

"Mr. Enzo? Did I say something wrong? Have I offended you?"

Kimmy’s voice snapped him out of his deep stupor.

"Oh. I’m sorry Kimmy. I zoned out earlier. You shocked me with your offer." He chuckled warmly.

Kimmy pouted her lips and frowned. "Were you thinking of someone else?"

Enzo nodded. "Yes. A friend of mine. You remind me of her. Your attitude is quite similar to hers. Even your eyes, your hair, and the shape of your face."

"Oh," Kimmy gasped. "That person might be my Mom." She giggled.

Enzo was taken aback once again, blinking in amusement. Then Kimmy spoke again.

"I look similar to my Mom. She’s so beautiful. But I am more charming than her." Kimmy shamelessly boasted.

Enzo couldn’t stop himself from laughing. Kimmy’s cheerful attitude brightened his day. "I would love to meet your mother someday."

"Of course. York City is not that big. We will see each other again for sure. Next time, I will introduce you to my Mom!"

"Alright. If you want to see me, you can drop by this Cafe. I’m working here." Enzo picked up a small flyer from his pocket. "I’ll treat you with sweets!"

Kimmy accepted it and read the name of the Cafe. "Goddess Elixir Cafe..." The name rang a bell in her ears but she had forgotten where she heard it before.

"Okay. Mr. Enzo. You can think about my offer. I’ll pay you a visit in the coming days. See you around!" Kimmy waved her hand cheerfully as she said goodbye to Enzo.

Kimmy ran off to join her nanny and bodyguards, leaving Enzo standing there with a lingering sense of warmth. He watched her disappear into the crowd, a smile playing on his lips.

"Until we meet again, little one," Enzo mumbled.

Enzo turned around, feeling a strange sense of fulfillment. He continued shopping, but the encounter with Kimmy stayed with him, a small, bright spot in his day.

"Young Miss, who is the guy you were talking to earlier?" Shao-Shao asked her with intrigue. She saw how happy the little girl was while talking to the handsome stranger.

"Oh. My Daddy."

"Huh?"

Shao-Shao and the two bodyguards were dumbfounded at her last remarks.

"You’ve found your missing father?"

Sensing the surprised look in their eyes, Kimmy giggled once more. "Haha. Kidding! I just felt a strange connection with him the moment I saw him. Oh, it’s not about his good looks."

"I asked him earlier if he wanted me to adopt him as my Daddy! I offered him several benefits like I’m going to take care of him and showed him my black card from Grandpa."

Bodyguards: "..."

Shao-Shao gasped, covering her mouth using both hands with her eyes wide open. She knew how playful her young mistress was. But she didn’t expect that Kimmy would do something like offering a stranger to be her adopted Daddy.

"Didn’t he think you are weird, young miss?" Shao-Shao asked her curiously.

Kimmy raised an eyebrow upon hearing that. "Of course not! I think he likes me and he is considering my offer. He even gave me his workplace. I’m going to visit him one of these days to get his answer." She replied confidently.

Shao-Shao: "..."

Bodyguards: "..."

They could only shake their heads while eyeing Kimmy helplessly.

"Her confidence is on a higher level. She is indeed an Ivankov... the daughter of Miss Lanny Ivankov," Shao-Shao murmured.

The guards just nodded their heads in unison, agreeing to her remarks.

After two hours of strolling around the shopping mall, Kimmy finally finished buying all she needed.

"Young miss, where are we heading to now?" Shao-Shao asked Kimmy as they headed to the parking lot.

"Go back to Grandpa’s Villa. We still need to pack these gifts. I can’t go to Mommy for now."

*****

Twenty-five minutes later... at Miguel’s Secret Villa.

"Grandpa! Grandpa! We’re here!" Kimmy yelled as she ran toward Miguel.

He was sitting in the living room when his granddaughter arrived.

"Oh, Did you buy everything you need?" Miguel cast a look at Shao-Shao and the two bodyguards. Each of them was carrying six paper bags.

"Yes, Grandpa. I also bought something for you." Kimmy sat down next to Miguel, handing him a small paper bag.

Miguel gestured for Shao-Shao and the guards to leave them alone before he accepted Kimmy’s gift.

He checked the paper bag and saw three different colors of necktie. His eyes lit up as he appreciated Kimmy’s sweet gesture. She was a very thoughtful granddaughter, that’s why he spoiled her a lot.

"I love them. Thank you, my princess. I will definitely wear these all the time." He promised.

Kimmy giggled when she heard that.

"Grandpa..." she called out, putting on a puppy-eyed look. "There is something I wanna ask you."

"Sure, Kimmy. What is it?"

"Can I adopt a Daddy?" Kimmy asked without a second thought.

"Cough! Cough!" Miguel choked on his saliva the moment he heard that. He stared at his granddaughter with a puzzled look.

"W-Why?"

"Because I don’t have a father. And I just found a very suitable candidate to be my Dad. I feel like we have a resemblance, Grandpa."

Miguel scratched his forehead at his granddaughter’s response.

"But... I have chosen a father for you too. You’ve met your Uncle Dmitri, right? Don’t you want him to be your father? He will be your mother’s future husband. He will be your stepdad."

Kimmy fell silent for a moment, reconsidering her grandfather’s words.

"Grandpa, Can I have two fathers? One stepdad and one adopted dad?"

Miguel: "..."
