Chapter 632
Stanley quickly wiped Bella’s tears away. “Hey, little one, how about this? I’ll buy you a new one, okay?”
Bella shook her head, sniffling. “I don’t want a new one… I only want the one Morniny gave me.”
It was the first time Stanley had tried to comfort a child, and he was clearly flustered. “Alright. Where’s your Mommy? I’ll go find her right now.”
Bella’s voice trembled as she replied, “She’s not here…”
Stanley, unsure what else to do, bent down and gently picked Bellap. “Let’s go find your parents.”
Bella, tiny and light as a feather, rested in his arms as he held her securely. She looked up at him, her tears slowly drying as she realized how high she was being lifted. She couldn’t help but marvel at how handsome this man was. He held her higher than Samuel ever did.
“If your Mommy’s not here, where’s your Daddy? You didn’t come out here by yourself, did you?”
Bella miled softly, her voice full of innocence. “I didn’t come out by myself…”
Just then, Bella heard a familiar voice.
Samuel, having bought some chocolate–coated strawberries, returned and noticed Bella wasn’t in her seat. He began searching the area. “Bella… Bella…!”
Bella immediately spoke up. “My daddy’s looking for me!”
Stanley gently set her down, and Bella waved her little hand. “Goodbye, Mr. Handsome.”
Stanley smiled. “Next time we meet, I’ll make sure to buy you a new crystal ball.”
“Okay,” Bella responded cheerfully as she ran off.
Stanley watched Bella’s small figure scamper over to Samuel.
“Daddy Sam…” she called out.
Stanley’s eyes narrowed as he saw Samuel’s back. “Samuel…?”
For three years, Stanley had been searching for Samuel, but he too seemed to have vanished from the earth. Now, he was here at the airport?
Stanley’s legs moved quickly as he stepped forward.
Just then, Zayn approached. “Mr. Hawk, the private jet is ready.”
Stanley froze for a moment. By the time he turned around, Samuel and Bella had disappeared.
Stanley looked around the vast airport, but there was no sign of the familiar figures. Had he imagined it? Was that really Samuel?
Zayn nudged him again, his voice firm. “Mr. Hawk, it’s time to board.”
Stanley reluctantly turned away. “Let’s go.”
He followed Zayn as they left.
Meanwhile, Samuel had taken Bella to the side, away from the crowd. He waited until Stanley had left before he finally let Bella down.
Samuel had recognized Stanley the moment he saw the latter. He hadn’t expected to run into Stanley here.
“Daddy Sam, why were you hiding? Were you hiding from Mr. Handsome?” Bella asked curiously.

Samuel glanced at her, a thoughtful look crossing his face. “Bella, how do you know that man?”
Bella pointed to the broken crystal ball in her hands. “My crystal ball rolled over to him, and he accidentally stepped on it and broke it.”
Samuel couldn’t help but feel a sense of wonder. For the past three years, Wendy had been avoiding Stanley. Even on this trip to the Capital, she hadn’t wanted Stanley to know Bella existed.
But fate had a funny way of working, and somehow, Bella and Stanley had crossed paths. Father and daughter had met.
“Do you like that Mr. Handsome you met?”
Bella nodded enthusiastically. “I like him. He’s so tall and handsome. He lifted me so high…”
