Chapter 240 - EVI (1/2)

The first round of meat had finished cooking and the family of three sat down to eat the food. The helpers took over in the meantime. In the case of Leah, the little girl was in the midst of cutting her steak.

”Come, give me your plate. Papa will help cut your steak.” Gray reaches out his hand as he offered Leah aid. However, his offer was rejected resolutely by the little girl.

”No! I want to learn how to cut properly!” Puffing up her cheeks, Leah focus on cutting her meat. Although it was slightly messy, she was able to do so in the end. ”I did it!”

”Good job,” Sato smiled while he watched on the side-lines. Seeing how independent Leah was made him extremely proud to be her father. Within a year, Leah had metamorphosised and became an improved version of her past self. She had kept many of her outstanding traits and had gotten rid of her bad habits. She was definitely bubblier and acted more like a child her age should.

”You're growing up so fast.” Gray complimented with a tear in his eye.

”I want to grow up faster to be like Papa and Daddy!” Leah giggled gleefully.

It was these moments where Gray wished that he did not have to go back too Country Z so often. Seeing how Leah would learn something new every time he came back to Country U, Gray would feel very depressed that he could not witness it in person.

”Are you sure you would like to go to school?” Gray asked the question that was burning inside of him all this time.

”Yes! I want to have classmates and friends like the movies!” Leah's eyes sparkled as she thought back to her favourite movie, High School Musical Re-edition. It seemed that home schooling her had made her lonely.

”You will have to tell Papa and Daddy if anyone were to bully you in school, okay?” Gray asked.

”Okay…” Leah sighed as she replied. This wasn't the first time she heard this from her overprotective fathers.

”Do you promise?”

”I promise!”

”Okay…” This time it was Gray's turn to sigh. It seemed that Leah was really sure of it this time. Sato noticed this.

Placing a hand on Gray's t.h.i.g.h, he said in a comforting voice. ”We can't keep our little chick trapped in a cage forever.”
