Chapter 158 - Youre dead meat! (1/2)

Diana blushed and covered her face. ”I'm an adult.” she said, as Alex requested that she sit on his lap.

Alex chuckled, ”adult to who?” he asked.

Diana scratched her hair and did as told. The last time, he was very sick, but this time, he wasn't. At least those were Diana's thought.

Even though Alex has escaped death; there are still part of him that got affected by the long sleep.

”How have you been?” Alex asked, hugging her tightly, while Diana rested her head on his shoulder and hugged his neck.

”I've been doing fine. How are you?” Diana asked.

”Being strong for you.” Alex said and both chuckled. ”Don't risk coming here like this after today, baby. Give me some time and everything will be in order.” Alex said.

Diana didn't argue with him and nodded her head. ”I won't. I'm happy to see you and mom today.” Diana grunted happily.

Alex smile froze, but Diana couldn't see it. ”You've visited your mother?” he asked, his expression suddenly went stoic.

He has avoided hearing anything related to Stella, but knew he shouldn't do that with his daughter.

”Yes! I'm pissed with how they have her caged.” Diana pouted.

”Caged?” Alex was confused. 'what caged? she married that bastard that wants her child dead.' Alex thought, feeling more pissed at Stella.

Before Diana could reply, ”How was your training?” he asked, as he didn't want them to go deep into Stella's conversation.

It was different between the two, as Alex made everything feels natural. He didn't imprint fear of Shane in Diana and didn't encourage her visit as well, but felt the happiest for seeing her.

If Diana showed up by herself; he knew she must know what she's doing. He could see the changes in her as well, but liked it. He didn't want her to cry and cower in fear because of some bastards.

Unlike Stella who was being monitored up and down; the father daughter duo was able to have a nice time together.

Alex asked and teased her about her relationship life, which she excludes the dangerous part and filled him in on nice and sweet details of the moments shared with Ethan.

Alex managed to make her have a short nap, while he took the opportunity to take a good look at the grown woman in front of him, who was his child.

He finally let his tears fell as he sat on the floor and kept staring at her sleeping face. Diana slept peacefully, as she was really tired from not sleeping all through the night, waiting for Ethan to sleep off and also travelled all the way here.

Despite that, she was still conscious of her surroundings and heard every word Alex muttered. He kept saying he's sorry for being incompetent.

”I'm sorry for not being there for you. I didn't take part in your growing up. I'm sorry you haven't done anything wrong and had to hide like a criminal ...” Alex kept ranting on and on.

Diana didn't open her eyes and asked him to stop. If it makes him feel a bit better, then he should pour out his heart, but she actually felt bad for the man.

Diana woke up a few hours later, feeling refreshed and also felt her body relaxed. She was surprised to see Alex still sitting on the same spot, staring at her.

She smiled at him, which he returned with a raised brow and placed a soft kiss on her forehead, which made Diana giggled.

She sat up and gestured for Alex to stand up from the floor. As soon as Alex did; a knock came at the door and Tyler came in.

”If you dare lie to me, you're dead meat!” Michael's threatening voice was heard from the tablet Tyler had on his hand.
