Chapter 190 - Reunion
Johanna took heavy steps, her chest was near to explode. Henry is alive? She didn't know how to react well and she never expected this. The man in front of her a few meters away from her smiled at her and bowed his head. Then, he turned back to leave. She knew that she must follow him. She bowed her head and took a step. There might be people watching over Henry or her since she is part of Keira's army.
She watched as Henry entered the car and she went to the shotgun sea, folded her umbrella, and entered. She quickly hugged Henry and started sobbing.
"Papa,"
"Oh, my cry baby." Henry gently caressed her hair. "Hush now…"
Johanna gently pushed him and sniffled.
"H~how? Did Keira know about this?"
Henry scooped her face and wiped her tears.
"No, baby girl. I will talk to her later."
"How about Mom?"
"Yes, your mom knows."
Johanna exhaled and sniffled again. Henry caressed her hair and smiled.
"My dear, I fake my death to save Keira and your mom," Henry said. "You grow up so well, even without me and your mom by your side."
"You taught me how to survive."
"Yes," He smiled. "Surviving isn't just fighting, my dear. You protected your little sister and your mom."
Johanna never heard those words from her biological father. All they taught her was to kill to survive. But never did she think that physical work and knowledge are also needed. Henry taught her that. She doesn't have to hurt anyone unless it makes a move to hurt her. Not like her biological father.
"Where are you going?" Henry asked.
"I was going to buy some snacks," Johanna answered.
"Hmm," Henry smiled. "Is your child's father treating you well?"
"Yes," Johanna smiled. "He has sleepless nights because of me."
"Why?"
Johanna bit her tongue but she had to tell him. She always tells him what's in her mind and he never once scolds her but advises her.
"I sleepwalked and almost killed our puppy. My dream was so real that my body moves in its own, unconscious."
"It's part of your trauma and since you forget almost all of your memories, it might trigger by one or two." Henry patted her head. "But you did well, my girl."
She nodded her head, like a very obedient girl.
"I'm so proud of you."
A tear glistened on her left eye and she nodded at her father.
"I have so much to ask," Johanna said with those big eyes.
"I have so much to say," Henry patted her head. "Let's do that later. Okay?"
"Yes, Papa."
"Good girl." Henry looked a little hurt seeing her all grown up. "Make sure to check your surroundings."
Johanna nodded and came out of the car.
The time that she bought everything, she went back to the office and gave Violet some strawberry cake in a small tin can. Violet was surprised and she also saw that Johanna hugged Connor and they kissed passionately. It seemed like Johanna was happier.
Johanna received more kisses from Connor and rubbed her belly.
"Our baby is growing. Is it possible that we can make love tonight?"
"Yeah, sure." She said casually that surprised Connor.
"I don't want to spill happiness but what's with you today?" He grinned. "I love your mood."
"Nothing. I'm just happy."
"Okay," Connor kissed her more. "I'll finish up this report."
Johanna took out the milk tea and dessert for Keira. She knocked and entered. Keira looked happy seeing it. She quickly enjoyed it as Johanna watched her. She eats while working and although it's a bad thing. She glanced at the door of the walk-in closet waiting for that person to enter.
"This is good, Jo. I love it."
"I'm glad." Johanna glanced at the double door of Keira's walk-in closet. She felt a person's presence there, so she left the room.
<><><><>
Keira was enjoying the treats that her big sister brought to her while she's busy reading documents. She decided to stop reading for a while and enjoy the sweets that her sister brought. Suddenly, the door in her walk-in closet opened. She thought that it was Harvey but it wasn't. She saw a familiar face standing there wearing a black leather jacket. She stood quickly, staring at the man without blinking.
"Daddy?"
"Hello, my Princess."
Keira's tears started rolling down. She walked around in his direction slowly. Her whole body was shaking probably from shock and the man stepped forward and quickly held her face and kissed her forehead.
"Daddy!" Keira started crying like a baby. "Daddy!"
"My little Princess." Henry couldn't help but feel hurt seeing her tears. His heartfelt like it's been stabbed many times. He missed her dearly. He missed her so much and there were a lot of days that he wasn't a parent to her. He might have almost ignored her because of work. Now, she's the one leading their company and he wanted to have time for her although it's quite too late.
"Daddy, you are alive!" She exclaimed. Henry chuckled and carefully pushed her, scooped her face, and wiped her tears. "Does, mom~~"
"Yes," He nodded. "I was with her this whole time for a vacation."
Keira pouted and crossed her arms.
"Hey, don't get mad, my Princess." Henry kissed her forehead for so long and hugged her again tightly. He carefully led his daughter to the sofa and held her hand.
"I'm not mad, daddy." Keira hiccuped. "I am just so happy that you are alive."
"Yes, me too. But I abandoned you and your mom… I'm sorry."
"You didn't…" She sniffled. "You came back."
Keira looked at the double door of the walk-in closet as Harvey entered. Harvey smiled, approached them, and patted her head.
"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw you cry like this." Harvey chuckled.
"Sadist." She grumbled. Harvey only laughed.
"Daddy, how about Jo?" She asked. "Did you talk to her?"
Henry nodded her head.
"Jo was the first one that I approached before you. I have to tell her something important."
"Hmm," Keira nodded. "Then, can I tell this to Sandro? Do you know that we are married?"
"Yes, of course. But it should remain a secret. I still can't find Jeremy Cha. I start thinking that he might be in disguise to linger around. It's been months."
"Well," Harvey crossed his arms and propped his hand over his jaw. "I had this feeling that Jeremy Cha is probably dead. I can't see him anywhere. Even our Intel says so."
"We can assume that he's dead," Henry said. "I know that man. He's full of tricks under his sleeves." He caressed her daughter's hair. "My dear, I would like to have dinner with you and Jo. You can bring Sandro and Jo's boyfriend."
She nodded.
"Back in our house."
Keira was a little shocked. All she knows is their house has been sold to someone else.
"I already prepared the rooms. Don't worry. We are going to enter using the back of the house. Since mostly, they focused on the front. I already have MJ set up our security plan just in case."
"But~how about Uncle Alex?" Keira tilted her head.
"Don't worry about him. He's a grown-up man." Henry chuckled.
Keira sniffled and reached the tissue from the counter table and wiped her nose.
"Okay, I'll probably have Alex drive the car."
"I think you need to make a detour," Harvey said. "Mostly, Wendy was watching over you."
"Ugh, that psychopath girl." Keira sighed. She looked at her father who clenched his fist, probably angry about Wendy. "I have a plan. I think Tracey might help me with it."
Harvey also thought for a while and agreed.
"Tracey will be in great danger." Harvey sneered.
Keira giggled and held her father's hand.
"Ian is with her. Also, she said that she wanted an actual catfight with her. This might be her chance."
"Well," Harvey shrugged. "I'll notify Ian."
A knock on the door made them stop. The door opened gently.
"It's me," Johanna said and she entered gracefully. She's holding a tablet and she approached them.
"Jo," Henry reached her hand as Johanna held back his hand. "Will you be at the dinner with your man?"
"Y~yes, Papa." Johanna looked at Keira who had those red eyes yet she's smiling.
"This will be a reunion." Henry declared. Keira and Johanna quickly hugged their father. Harvey grinned and hugged all of them in his big long arms.
"I wish we could do this with mom," Keira said. "I can't believe that we are finally complete."
Keira knew that this was a dream come true. She might be already dreaming. She wanted to pinch herself right now. If this was a dream, she wished not to ever wake up. Having a family complete is what she wanted. She wished that her mom was here too. But where could she be? But anyway, she's sure that her mom is safe.
"Mind for another hug?" A familiar voice asked.
They all turned their heads to Karmina who entered through the main door.
"Mom!" Keira exclaimed and she started crying again like a baby. Henry chuckled and wiped her tears.
"Baby girl, don't cry again."
"I~I'm sorry. It~It just felt like a dream."
Harvey pinched both of her cheeks and she squealed in pain. She slapped Harvey's arm.
"Ow!"
Karmina giggled and hugged Henry's neck as she stood behind him.
