Almighty Father System
Chapter 238 238: Appeasing The Princess!
Leo and Snow didn't know that while they were enjoying their sweet time gloating over the shit Carole has put himself into, their daughter was going berserk. Although, Lily was a sensible child and she didn't throw many tantrums, but she was sure not going to make it easy on them.
The elders looking after her were thinking whether they should inform Leo and Snow about the severity of the situation, but something else was faster than them.
'Ping: While you indulged in bliss of marriage with your wife. Your daughter got upset. Host, if you didn't make her happy, than you will loss all the buffs that are causing your business to thrive and the loyalty of your most trusted people would drop down to fifty percent. Time limit, thirty minutes.'
Leo was just having a sip of his coffee when he heard this and he froze. Snow was also sitting across him and she asked, "What happened?"
Leo replied after taking a deep breath, "Ummm, I think we should go and check on Lily once. She was patient enough to give us the entire evening and then half the morning, but she is a little girl, and I am sure that she needs us."
Snow smiled and said, "I was about to go and check on her after breakfast. It sorts of feel uneasy if I don't hear her voice for so many hours."
Leo smiled, but he was uneasy. Snow detected it and said, "Fine, Baba, we will go and eat with our little baby."
Leo chuckled at the way she addressed him and replied, "Thank you, Ma."
The two people held hands as they walked out of the presidential suite and came to the suite next door where the rest of the family was staying. Lily shared the bed with Anastasia, and Fragrance was in the next room. Symphony and Clara were also in the same suite but a different room.
Leo knocked the door and Zeenat opened it shortly after. She bowed slightly and said, "Good morning, Sir, Ma'am."
Leo nodded to her and went straight inside to look for his baby. That was all that he had on his mind. Snow shook her head and gave Zeenat a warm greeting before the two followed inside. The scene in the living room of the suite was something wanted Snow to question what was going on.
Leo was sitting beside Lily, but the little girl was looking in the opposite direction. Snow looked at her husband and wanted to laugh but she held back. Leo looked so anxious, it reminded her of the moment when they had their first kiss. He looked like a man who didn't know where to put his hands and where to put his mouth.
She shook her head and walked over to Lily. The little girl turned to look straight and closed her eyes. Lily crossed her arms before her chest and leaned back in the couch as if she didn't care about her parents. Anastasia watched this and she smiled faintly.
Snow asked gently, "Lily, are you not going to talk to us?"
Leo chimed in, "Baby, are you angry with us? Baba will get you anything that you want, just tell me."
He wanted to keep going when Snow raised her hand to signal him to stop and she glared at him. The young man realized that he was losing his shit. Lily said, "Grandma, tell them."
As she said this, Anastasia said, "Well, Lily has decided that she would not talk to you guys, because you don't need her. You didn't come to play with her for the entire night but then you didn't even come to see her in the morning, my darling is upset with you two."
Anastasia was enjoying this. Snow was amused, and only Leo was dreaded. It was not that he cared more about his buffs, but he cared too much about Lily being angry. Everytime something happened with lily, his 'Calm in Chaos' buff would be rendered useless.
He took a deep breath and began to think of a solution, Snow was trying her best on the side, but Lily was akin to a wall that was blocking everything very with clinical precision. Just when the countdown in his mind showed five minutes left. Leo thought of something and said, "Lily, we were late because we were trying to get you a sibling."
He dropped a bomb and the entire room was silenced. All the ladies looked at him with wide open eyes, and Leo looked at Lily, who was now looking at him with a gleeful expression in her eyes. He smiled and said, "You know that making a baby is a difficult thing. So, we were working hard together to make one. Would you like to have a baby brother or sister?"
Lily nodded heavily and then she stood up on the couch and came to stand close to Leo, who put his arm around her and Lily asked eager to know, "Baba, how do you make a baby?"
The ladies all turned to look away with a slight blush on their faces, and Leo smiled as he brushed the hair of his little darling and said, "That is a secret of adults. Ummm, when you turn fourteen. Ma will talk to you about it. Okay?"
Lily asked curiously, "Why fourteen?"
Leo smiled and replied, "That is because when girls turn fourteen, they go through some changes. Your Grandma went through them, Ma went through them, and all the aunties and big sisters have been through them."
Lily hummed, and then she asked, "Did you go through those changes?"
Leo nodded and said, "I did, but you know, the changes of a guy and a girl are different. Now, don't bother your little head about all this. At the moment, we have to focus on one thing only."
Lily questioned innocently, "What?"
Leo looked around and then he spoke with a mysterious look, "We cannot tell anyone about trying to get a sibling for Lily."
Lily was surprised and exclaimed, "Why not!? Is it not a good thing that should be shared?"
Leo nodded and patted her back gently as he said, "It is a good thing, but you know baby, we have so many enemies. How can we know that nobody is listening to us? If we don't maintain a secret with ourselves, we cannot fool the enemy either. So, this is why your Grandma and Aunt didn't say anything at all."
Lily nodded and then she said, "Baba, shall we do a pinky promise?"
Leo agreed after some thought and said, "Yes, we should."
He made a pinky promise with Lily, who said, "Pinky Promise, if I lie, I will drink thousand needles, and cut my pinky."
Leo repeated the verse after her, and the two smiled. Leo then held her in his arms and said, "I am sorry, I should have come to see you sooner."
Lily smiled and shook her head as she said, "No, Baba, it is fine, I understand that you both were doing something important. I shouldn't have thrown such a tantrum and cause trouble."
Leo pecked her cheek and replied, "It's fine dear. We all make mistakes. Now, shall we go and enjoy the last day at park?"
Lily nodded and then Leo picked her up as he left the room. Snow looked at her husband going away with her daughter, and the two were chatting in hushed voices. She shook her head and remarked, "I am back to being the third wheel."
Fragrance and Clara chuckled while, Anastasia asked, "Are you pregnant?"
The room fell silent once again, and Snow sighed while rubbing her forehead, as she said, "Ma, he was just saying that to make Lily calm down and talk to him. I am not pregnant."
Anastasia hummed, and then she rubbed her chin as she asked, "Are you both not getting enough time together?"
Snow raised her brow and replied, "No, we are fine. What do you mean?"
The old lady shook her head and said, "Nothing, I am just concerned about you both. So, are you planning on having a second child?"
Snow sighed and she looked at her mother in complete defeat as she said, "Not yet. Can you calm down your horses?"
...
Meanwhile Leo took Lily to ride a pony, and they rode various rides, where he pretended to be a king and she was a princess. The cameraman clicked many pictures of the two, as they appeared to be very happy. It was not as if they didn't wish to bring Snow over, but she was held back by the elder.
Leo and Lily had been to these rides with Snow, but this time it was just the two of them and they were not holding back with the fun and clicked a lot of pictures.
...
Leo was having fun, but back in the Clover Nation Capital, Carole was held in custody and he was acting all haughty before a special officer from the NBI. The agent have had enough and he decided to handle things in a different way. He turned off the in camera and gave him a thorough beating.
Carole cursed everyone, but he didn't know that something even big was going to happen.
....
Leo came back in the evening, and he checked out if the system has given him any rewards, and the system pinged, 'You neglected your child, and you expected rewards? Shame on you, ptui.'
