Leo came back home with the documents and Lily was still riding on his shoulders. Snow had woken up by this hour, and Anastasia was telling her a few things to keep in mind as she was expecting. Snow nodded sincerely, because the last time she went through this, she didn't have anyone to school her, and her responsibilities only made things worse, leaving her no time to mind such minor details.

She spotted the two people and asked, "Where have you two been?"

Leo put the documents on the table and then he pulled down the little goblin on his shoulders as he said, "Ma, can you have the foundation divert a little time and money to help these people on priority basis?"

Anastasia nodded and asked, "Who are these people?"

Lily spoke up before Leo, "These are all people related to police uncles."

Anastasia looked at Leo with a smile, and said, "I will arrange it."

Leo thanked her before he looked at Snow and asked, "Shall we move to the ground floor?"

Snow was surprised and asked, "Why the sudden move?"

Leo smiled and replied, "My mom used to say that women should avoid climbing stairs in the early period of the pregnancy."

Snow nodded and said, "For that I have decided to stay with Ma in the guest room. She has told me to stay away from you as well."

Leo was surprised and Anastasia shook her head and replied, "She is blaming me out of spite. I swear I didn't tell her anything like that."

Leo nodded and replied, "I know Ma, but since that is what she wants, its fine."

He did take some offence in this but for the greater good he could give up the embrace at night. As if sensing his sadness, Lily said, "Baba, if Ma is not going to be sleeping with you, can I sleep with you?"

Leo was surprised and Snow chuckled as she said, "I knew you would say something like that, so fine, you can sleep with your Baba twice a week. Only on the weekends though."

Lily asked unresigned, "Why the limitation?"

Snow replied, "Because you clingy kitten would be dependent on your Baba for everything if you stay with him all the time, and he will spoil you to the point of no return and that is not happening under my roof."

Lily pouted and she wanted to say something to defend herself but her mother pulled the little girl in her embrace and coaxed him with kisses and pats. Leo looked at his little terror being tamed and made his way to the washroom to clean off all the sweat and prepare for the big day laying before him.

Today was the day when all the Lily's classmates would come over to have a party. He had a few things lined up to show them and teach them. After all, Lily has instructed him to be the best version of himself and use all the skills that he could.

Leo cleaned up and headed to the kitchen. He checked the groceries and then began to prepare the ingredients and cook snacks for the children. He made batches of cookies, brownies, but then he made vegetable roles and many other items. He stayed inside the kitchen for three hours, and made so much food that the dining room, and living room tables were stacked with it.

Then he sat down on the couch to eat something, and asked, "Lily, when will your friends come over?"

The little girl checked on the Tab and said, "Ten minutes."

Leo nodded and then he looked at Clara as he said, "Miss Rouge, you and Symphony are on battle stations today. I have also asked Marin to come over and help you handle the kids."

A calm voice sended at this moment, "Sir, I can also handle this task."

The people turned to look on the side and found Zeenat had come back. Leo smiled and asked, "Cleared for duty?"

Zeenat had been in recovery after the surgery. The young lady nodded and replied, "Yes, Sir. Thank you for all that you did these past few days."

Leo shook his head and replied, "No, it is me and my family that is thankful to you. That day, your bravery scared that man enough to avoid harming my child. So, Zeenat, thank you very much."

Zeenat nodded, and Lily dashed over to her side. However, the little girl stopped and asked, "So, Big Sis Zee, can I hug you now?"

Zeenat blinked and knelt down to allow Lily to hug her properly. The people smiled and after Zeenat said a few words, Lily also volunteered to handle the situation and keep the kids in discipline.

...

After ten minutes, a rally of cars drove over to the front gates, where Kyle attended to the guests and led them inside. When the children saw the security guards, they felt a bit intimidated. Yes, they all came from rich families, but they had never seen such intimidating people standing around gazing at them.

Lily greeted them all at the door, and then led them inside with a smile. Leo found that he was overly worried because the families have sent over butlers to attend to the children and that helped the management greatly.

After a few minutes, Leo came out with trays of snacks on a trolly, Lily introduced him and then he served everyone personally. Snow pushed the trolley behind him and they warmed up the children.

As the children bit into the snacks they were served, they were shocked and exclamations sounded all around the living room and the dining area. All the children, around twenty five, came to ask for seconds.

Leo smiled and served them with the next snack, however, he said, "This is the last one, after this we will play some piano and then the next round of snacks, okay?"

The people didn't want to agree but they had no other options. After all, Leo was an adult and he had been kind to them. There parents would not even give one snack easily. The butlers were worried initially but then Clara told them how the dishes were prepared and they calmed down.

After the children finished eating, they were taken to the piano set in the living room. Leo had brought over a guitar and ukulele as well. Snow had a violin in her hands. The two of them began to guide the children, and while the boys liked Snow playing Violin, they wanted to learn the Piano, so they had no choice.

Leo taught them all with great patience and finally he and Lily played a peace with Snow accompanying them. The children liked it and applauded them. Leo told a few children that they had good talent for music and they should consider it as a hobby.

However, while the butlers noted this, the children focused on the second round of food. The scenarios kept going on through cycles. Leo took the children in the garden and taught them how to do pottery and after everyone was done making their figurines, Leo had them all write down the colors they wanted on them.

He promised that he would send these figurines over to them when they are baked. His gentle and giving nature made the children like him even more. After lunch, the children all had to leave, but Leo gave them all wooden chess boxes and packed up some snacks for them to eat when they get home.

The children praised Leo as a savior and a saint. Finally, one of the children, the naughtiest of the class asked in all seriousness, "Mister Cardinal, can I ask you a question?"

Leo was surprised but he nodded and said, "Yes, go on, Kim."

Kim sighed and asked, "Can you train my father to be like you? All day long he would beat me. Some days I fear that my tushy would become pulp. Please, either you train him or you replace him."

Leo was stunned and the butler rushed over to carry Kim in his arms and bowed to the hosts as he said, "I apologize for his insolence."

Leo was left between tears and laughter, while Snow had fun at his expense. After a few minutes, the house calmed down, and Leo fell in the couch, drained of energy. He had augmented stamina but this one day drained him completely.

Snow patted the back of his head and asked, "What is going on?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "The questions they had, it is causing my brain to burn."

Snow chuckled and Leo looked at Lily and grabbed her into his embrace and said, "You are the best baby, Baba loves you the most."

Lily chuckled and said, "I love you too, they all praised you a lot. They said you are a star daddy."

Anastasia raised her brow and asked, "What is Star Daddy?"

Lily smuggly replied, "The daddy they can only hope to have but cannot."
