It didn't take long for them to come down again and Ivan took a good look at the woman for the first time.
She had the same hair color as her daughter but hers was cut in a bob which suited her really well. Her face had a noble look with a well fitting nose, eyes and mouth. Her skin looked smooth and white. Her body was great too, it was just that her breasts were a bit small which her long legs mad more than made up for. He could fully understand why his former self had got together with this woman.
It was just that her expression was ice cold towards him and only softened when she looked at her daughter.
After sitting down, she put her legs which where in a pair of blue jeans over each other and leaned back. This posture gave of a deep sense of confidence and nobility.
"What's your name?"
He was surprised for a bit, that she didn't even know his name. How did they find him then? Anyways he answered her honestly.
"Ivan Hope"
"Ivan Hope? Not a bad name.", she talked to herself in a small voice. Then without mentioning their names she asked the next question.
"How come you are so weak?"
Ivan was a bit annoyed by her behavior so he decided to only give short answers.
"Hard reset."
He could see a look of surprise on her face, but she did catch herself very fast.
"That explains it, but then why would my daughter sense you? That shouldn't normally happen."
"How would I know?"
"Whatever, it doesn't matter at the moment. Let's talk about why I invited you here."
Ivan wouldn't really have called it inviting but whatever, he was to lazy to argue about something like that.
"Then could you at least tell me your name?"
"I'm Jane, daddy and my mommy is Lara.", his daughter chimed in.
She was sitting next to her mother on the sofa opposite to him, so even though he had the reflex to pat her head, he could only smile at him and say, "So your name is Jane? That's a great name."
"Thanks daddy, mommy choose it for me."
Her smile really warmed his heart and he was once again astonished at how easy it was for him to accept this girl as his daughter.
Lara looked at them and nodded her head. It seemed like she was pleased with the way they were interacting.
"A while ago both Jane and me got a new title because of you. That was the first time I heard of you ever since Jane was born.", she then started to explain.
* Must have something to do with the Son of Chaos title*, Ivan guessed and her next words affirmed it.
"For Jane it was the title 'Daughter of Chaos' while mine is a bit different. It is named 'Wife of a Son of Chaos' and unlike my daughters title it can only trigger if I'm together with you."
She made a short pause so he could digest the information, before she continued.
"Yesterday I then found out that she can feel your presence, so we searched for you today."
Ivan interrupted her at this point, "She can feel my presence?"
"Yes, it seems like after she got the title she had some connection with you, through which she was able to sense you."
"That's unexpected. I always thought that the hard reset would remove everything from the past life."
"Not everything, but it usually only leaves pure information behind."
"That's not right. When I saw you I saw the image of a cave and this doesn't seem to be pure information."
"You saw a cave?", she seemed agitated.
"Yes."
"That is really weird. My guess is that it is the cave where Jane was conceived, so it definitely not pure information."
"Maybe it is because of the title?", Ivan mentioned the only reason he could think of.
She thought about it and finally nodded, "It should be."
After a moment of silence she then continued to speak, "The main reason I decided to look for you is because of our daughter. I don't really want her to grow up without a father and since there was a chance to meet you again I had to take it."
She then petted her daughters head, while her daughter looked at him happily.
"Jupp , Jupp. Daddy is gonna stay with us from now on.", she happily giggled.
"Huh", "Huh", both of them exclaimed in surprise.
"Um, I don't think that is a good idea, after all daddy has his own life, so to suddenly move should be hard."
"Yes, Yes, I already have a place where I live and I don't think I can move out at the moment."
The two of them hurried to get rid of the idea of all of them living together, after all even though they had a child together they weren't really that close.
But who would expect that the girl would start to bawl while repeating that she wants her daddy to stay with her.
Lara tried to coax her to stop crying but there was nothing that worked so she finally had to give in.
"Alright darling, if he agrees your daddy can stay with us."
"Really? That's great. Hurry up daddy agree.", she brightened up and hurriedly jumped towards him.
He put her down on her knees and then gently said, "I don't really know if I can but I'll ask. And even if I can't I will still come visit you."
"Humph, who would dare to deny you to live here? Just wait, I'll get grandpa to help."
She then tried to grab the phone on the table but was intercepted by her mother.
"Now wait a bit! Let him ask first before you do anything drastic."
"Oh, ok. Come on daddy go ask."
She bounced up and down on his knees while looking at him with a hopeful look in her eyes. It was really shocking how fast this girl could change. Just a minute ago she was bawling her eyes out and now she was full of expectation with not even the slightest tear in sight.
