Chapter 253 - Family Doesnt Need To Be Blood Related (1/2)

”Come home soon. We will miss you,” Persephone said, side hugging Santiago.

Santiago dropped a kiss on her head and another on Eleanora's cheek who was demanding that he pick her in his arms. ”Will miss my girls more.”

For some work related purpose, Santiago had to leave for Asia. Although he didn't feel like leaving his girls home all alone, he still had to attend the business conference. Life was getting too busier for him and he didn't even have the time to breathe.

Persephone and Eleanora waved him goodbye, standing at the door. He had a flight to catch an hour later. So, he left early.

”Baby, we are all alone in this big house!” Persephone said, staring at the kid in her arms.

Eleanora, who was too young to understand anything, laughed when she saw her mommy talking to her. She too was replying in her babyish language making her mom smile.

They were still in the living room when she felt her mobile ringing. On seeing the caller, she immediately picked up the call. It was Emma calling her to ask her to accompany her shopping.

”Santiago is not home, ”Persephone informed her. ”Lara is out of town. And I can't leave Eleanora at home.”

”Then, bring her over with you, ”Emma said. ”We will manage a day out with her. It's not a big deal.”

”She won't let you shop, ”Persephone warned her.

”It's okay. Just bring her over,” Emma said quickly. ”Or Killian is home. He can babysit her.”

After disconnecting the call, Persephone prepared Eleanora's bag and got both of them ready for their outing. Although she didn't want to go, it was still better than doing nothing at home and feeling sad for no reason at all. She got her driving licence a month ago and now she is trained enough to drive on the roads here.

Emma hugged her as soon as she saw Persephone entering through the door. She was already dressed and was just waiting for Persephone to come. She dropped a kiss on Eleanora's cheek. ”Hey, baby girl. Enjoy the day with Uncle Killian. We will bring yummy presents for you.”

”You guys really trust me enough to leave a seven month old kid with me?” Killian asked them, his brows furrowed.

”This is not just any kid. It's your niece and goddaughter,” Emma glared at him. ”And no you are not coming with us. Give me some time with girls.”

Killian sighed and took a giggling baby from Persephone. They waved goodbye to the ladies and started their cool day.
