Amber laid her head like a satisfied kitten on Luna's l.a.p while her favorite aunty ran her fingers through her curly locks. Luna had no idea why Amber sought after her, but she guessed the child missed her that much that Amber took her own initiative to find her. 

If Amber was here, did it mean that her father was in the area? 

Luna didn't want to have anything to do with him. It would only lead to more problems if she associated herself with the man. Her eyes softly gazed at the little girl in her arms. Just like her father who was so straightforward and demanding, Amber got a temper whenever she couldn't get something she wanted. Luna still couldn't comprehend why the child listened to her though. 

"Amber?" she called. 

The child slightly shifted on her l.a.p before opening an eye to look back at her. 

"Aren't you hungry? Do you want to go back to your dad?" 

Amber shook her head and sank deeper into Luna's embrace. A small smile passed by Luna's lips. She had taken the girl to the clinic to see if she got injuries when she ran away from her nanny. Right now, Amber was comfortable, taking a quick afternoon nap in her l.a.p. 

Remembering Corinne's request that she failed to fulfill, Luna typed a quick message on her phone and sent it to her friend. Feeling a little tired from Amber's weight, she adjusted the child from her l.a.p and laid Amber on the bed. 

"Such a cutie pie." Luna giggled. 

Amber looked like an angel when she sleeps. So innocent and cute that Luna had to resist the urge to pinch Amber's cheeks. 

Now what?

Could she leave Amber here and go back to work? Or did she need to wait for that man or Joanna before she could back to Corinne?

Her eyes felt heavy and her shoulders sagged from the long hours of work since morning. It didn't help that Amber was sleeping so soundly on the bed beside her. The coldness from the air conditioners made the nap sound appealing to her.

'Maybe I should take a nap too.' 

Luna laid beside the little girl and pulled the child closer in her c.h.e.s.t. She remembered what happened the last time Amber woke up without her. The little girl threw a fit on her Aunty Joanna and made some problems for her father. 

The two were fast asleep when Hero stepped into the room to talk to Luna. He was taken by surprise when he saw Amber and Luna peacefully sleeping beside each other. He pulled a chair and sat beside the bed, watching his daughter and his woman. 

His eyes landed on Luna's face. He liked how her long lashes softly brushed above her cheeks, how her c.h.e.s.t heaved in every breath she took in. Her pinkish lips slightly parted as she breathed. 

Luna didn't wear any makeup unlike the other women in his company, but her natural beauty still attracted attention from the opposite s.e.x. Who wouldn't notice the softness of her pale skin? How her eyes gleamed and smiled like her lips when she was happy? Usually kept on a low ponytail, her hair framed her face while giving her a more innocent look. 

She was such an alluring fine beauty. It wasn't surprising that Jasper Mu kept her for a long time, but it was all in the past now, Hero thought. He would never allow Luna to come back to that man. 

Hero traced Luna's face with the back of his fingers. Starting from her brows, he slowly moved to her temples then down to her cheeks. She lightly flinched from the sudden warmth that touched her face, but she remained asleep. 

Only like this that Hero could fill his d.e.s.i.r.e to stare at her without hesitation. He'd wondered if Amber had taken a liking to Luna just like him. Did Amber see the warmth she was seeking for a long time? The kind of love she'd never received before? 

Hero's lips curled into a smile. If all worked out for him and Luna decided to stay with him, Amber wouldn't have to worry about her Aunty Luna. She would never seek anyone else's love but hers.
