Genius Girl

Chapter 62 - 61: The Baby

She has been calling her but she was not answering.

For the last time, she dialed Daniella\'s number and this time the woman answered.

"Daniella, where are you? My class is finished!"

The other line was static but Selena could hear the sound of the cars.

"I am coming," Daniella said and the line needed.

Selena gasped, blinked repeatedly and angrily kicked the air.

She waited for almost half an hour before Daniella arrived, her eyebrow immediately creased to see her holding a baby coming out of the taxi.

"what happened?" Daniella asked, trying so hard to soothe the baby in her arms.

Selena\'s face full of confusion stared at the baby, "who is that?" She said, pointing at the baby.

"It\'s for my friend, let\'s go home," Daniella turned and about to sit in the car when she noticed that Selena was not following her.

"Are you going to bring it home?"

"Yes, but my friend will get this human later. Don\'t worry, you won\'t hear her crying."

Selena rolled her eyes, went to the other side of the taxi and watched Daniella as she struggles to hold the baby.

"Have you ever held a baby?" Selena asked.

Daniella shook her head, "no, this is the tiniest human I have ever touch," she replied.

When Evan arrived at the villa, exhausted, the first thing he heard after setting his feet at the door was the loud sound of a weeping baby.

He followed the sound of the baby\'s voice and found Daniella in the kitchen and a baby laying on the dining table. The maids were around watching the distress, Daniella, trying to soothe the baby.

Meanwhile, Daniella couldn\'t figure out what\'s wrong with the baby, one thing she never tried learning was how to take care of a small kid and for one reason, she doesn\'t have a plan to make one.

She covered both cheeks of the baby with her hand and tapped them gently, eyes focused at the baby but she kept moving that she couldn\'t focus.

"Hey, urchin. Look at my eyes so I can figure out what\'s wrong with you," Daniella gently tapped the baby\'s cheek but instead of calming down, the baby\'s weep went louder.

Her face went poker, the elder Su has scolded her for bringing a baby in the house without permission and Robert was taking forever to arrive.

She shut her eyes, covered her ears with hands and nose wrinkling impatiently.

"Hey you little urchin, just wait ok? The stork will be here soon to deliver you to your new mother."

The baby\'s weep went even louder, Daniella helplessly groaned and carried the baby.

She sighed, slightly rock the baby in her arms and hummed a soft melody.

Soon the baby calmed down, her small eyes slowly closing peacefully.

A strange feeling pounded Daniella\'s heart as she stared at the baby, her yes which slightly swollen from crying and cheeks flushing in red melted the coldness of her heart.

She hates kids, for whatever reason she hates them but now that she\'s holding one, she suddenly had a feeling of a protective mother.

She slowly sat on the chair, the maids started leaving the kitchen, eyes still focused on the baby.

Her eyes wandered at the baby\'s innocent face, her face drew nearer, she wanted to smell her, curious why people are addicted to the baby\'s scent.

She pulled back before she could smell her hair, she can\'t.

She can\'t be attached to the kid or to anyone. She had set her mind that she will die alone and she will never start a family.

"I thought you were getting a dog," a voice sounded behind.

Daniella turned and placed a finger on her lips, "please, she just fell asleep."

Evan smiled, squatted on the floor in front of Daniella and lay both hands on her knees.

He stared at the baby in her arms, sleeping tightly than the log, "she\'s cute. What\'s her name?"

"I don\'t know, my friend will name her later."

Evan nodded, "Louisa," he absently said.

"Do you want to name her Louisa?"

He shook his head, "no, I want it to be my daughter\'s name."

Daniella\'s eyes murked but her lips moved to give him a small smile.

"Louisa Su, that\'s a beautiful name."

Her eyes were met by Evan\'s, there was an inexplicable gentleness in the twinkle of his gaze, and Daniella could feel her heart lifting gazing at him.

"Do you like it?" He asked with a soft smile.

"It doesn\'t matter if I like it or not. Either way, I won\'t be her mother."

Daniella\'s phone rang, she looked at the screen and saw Robert\'s name.

"My friend is here to pick up the baby. Can you please move?"

Evan got up, took a step back quietly and watched Daniella as she left the room.

Confusion filled his mind, he\'s certain that he and Daniella were in good terms but suddenly she changed and became cold when he talked about kids.

His eyes narrowed, took a deep sigh and went upstairs.

--

After Daniella handed the baby to Robert waiting in front of the gate, her eyes gloom staring at the baby.

Robert rose an eyebrow, he had never seen Daniella stared at a child for more than 5 seconds but right now, the way she grips the baby tells him that she doesn\'t want to let her go.

"Give it to me Daniella," he said, pulling the baby away.

"How\'s Lyle?" Daniella finally let her go, took a step back but eyes stared at the baby.

"She\'s fine. She doesn\'t want to leave the warehouse until we have the baby," Robert replied, putting the baby in the car seat at the back while Scott was in the driver seat.

"Daniella," Scott called her, he got out of the car and walked closer to her.

She turned her eyes from looking at the baby to Scott, blinked to remove the image of the baby in her head.

"I found Evan\'s father and I have sent a fake emergency message," Scott took out the phone out of his pocket and showed her the screen, "He\'s coming in two days," he paused and locked his phone, "I can snatch him at the airport."

Daniella shook her head, "No, I will meet him here. I want to see the shock in his face when he sees my face."
