บท 144: Frustrated

Abi felt like ice cold water was poured over her the moment she heard a knock on the door. She pushed Alex off of her and she looked at him with wide eyes. 

And then, before the man could register why the little fruit pushed him, Abi slipped away from under him like a swift ninja. The man could only blink and his brows knotted in a hard knot as he looked at the girl who just escaped from his grasp. 

Abi moved as if the room was on fire. 

"Dad?" she said as she pulled the door open. 

Andrew raised a brow, seeing that her light was already off. 

"We're you two already sleeping?" the man asked, glancing behind Abi. 

"Uhm… I was reading a book to him."

"Oh, anyway, I just came to say goodnight. You guys should sleep now, Abi, it's late," he told her, glancing behind her again.
