The Devil's Sleeping Beauty

Chapter 8: Something was fishy!

When Little Melon ran off, he ended up going to the elevator. He just sat inside and cried. People who went in and out of the elevator couldn't help but glance at him. They tried speaking to Little Melon but he ignored them. He stayed there until he reached the ground floor, though he didn't go out, he just remained there.

It was until a man went in and heard Little Melon's sobs. Since the man was very fond of kids, seeing a kid cry made him worried.

"Little boy, what's wrong?" The guy sat beside him.

"U-Uncle said that... that momma doesn't love Mello!" He cried out while burying his face on his knees.

"No way. Every mother loves their kids you know," said the man in a gentle manner.

Hearing what he said, Little Melon finally raised her head to look at the man with his tearful eyes. "R-Really? Momma loves Mello?"

Upon seeing Little Melon's face, the man's eyes went wide. Little Melon looked exactly like him... except for his eyes and hair color!

Little Melon has chubby cheeks that tempted people to pinch them. He has brown hair was wavy and has adorable almond-shaped eyes. The Little boy's cute features reminded the man of his childhood days... but for some reason, the boy looked more like his brother.

A face like Little Melon... Did he impregnate some woman without his knowledge? But he always used protection so how could that be?!

"Momma loves Mello?"

The man snapped out of his trance and nodded. "Yes! Yes! Of course, your mother loves you so don't cry, okay? Boys like us shouldn't cry." He patted his head. "Is your name Mello?"

"Yes... Mello's name is Xia Mello..." Little Melon said while wiping his tears.

Xia? Xia was a common family name in his country. However, seeing how the boy is all dressed up and was inside a five stars hotel, could he be a member of the rich Xia family? He didn't remember sleeping with a woman from the Xia family.

"My name is Lu Xian Yu. Let me help you look for your mother, I bet she's really worried of you." If he saw the woman that gave birth to this angel-like child, he would be able to remember if she was one of the women he slept with. After all, he would never forget the face of the women he has slept with, although none of them ever mattered to him.

"Momma said not to talk to strangers..." Little Melon said cutely as he was suddenly reminded of his mother's words.

"You're already talking to me."

"..."

Lu Xian Yu chuckled. "Don't worry, I'm a good guy. Anyway, which floor did you come from?"

Little Melon stared at him with his red and puffy eyes, he was hesitant but seeing the man was giving him such a friendly smile, Little Melon couldn't help but trust him a little. "Fourteen..."
