Chapter 144: Charity Gala (2)
"Do you like them?"
Christian’s voice brought me out of my thoughts. He was looking down at the small fairy sculpture in front of me.
"Ah, yes. I find them to be very cute," I said with a smile.
"Ugh, you’re so childish." Morgan rolled her eyes at me and wrapped her arms around Christian’s arm. "I see Father over there. Let’s go say hi."
Christian nodded and led us over to where my father was standing. He was in a small group of people whom I recognized to be some of our family’s closest business partners.
"Ah, Christian! I’m so glad to see you here!" my father said, reaching out to shake his hand. "I appreciate you taking care of my daughters this evening. Let me know if they become too much."
"Father!" Morgan pouted, feeling offended.
Christian let out a small laugh, "Not at all. I’m honored to be in your daughters’ company."
One of the men beside my father looked at Christian with a curious look, "So this is the elusive CEO Vittoria. You look a lot like a woman I used to know."
"Oh, is that so? And who could that be?" Christian asked with interest. While his face showed only a small smile, the air around him turned cold. I could tell that he didn’t like the remark.
Is he being sensitive due to his mother?
