Chapter 286 286: Big News!

Leo came back home after the meeting but not before picking up Lily from the school. The little girl had taken the initiative to invite her friends over for lunch on saturday. Leo had no choice but to accept his fate to cater to the toddlers on the weekend.As Leo accepted his fate, a voice sounded in his mind, 'Ping: Host it has been detected that your daughter wishes to have you set an example of what an idol father should be like. So, use the weekend to the best of your abilities, and the rewards will be assigned based on the performance.'

Leo sighed as he placed Lily inside the car seat and drove it back home. All the way, the little goblin was humming a rhyme that she had learned in the school. Leo reached home and found Fragrance sitting in the living room sipping on a cup tea. Lily skipped over to her side and embraced her from the side. Fragrance smiled and asked, "Did you miss me?"

Lily nodded and asked, "I did, what did you get me?"

Fragrance was stumped when she said, "You little goblin, you didn't miss me, you missed the gift I promised."


Leo smiled at the interaction and then he decided to move into the kitchen, ever since Clara had taken over the task he had rarely cooked for Lily. As he went inside the kitchen he found that Clara was about to process the ingredients. Leo said, "Miss Rouge, you can go out, I will handle the lunch today."

Clara was surprised, but she knew that Leo was very skillful and thus she nodded and left the kitchen to handle a few more chores. Leo chopped the vegetables and then he prepared a soup, and followed it up with some rice and roti bread. Leo had unleashed his set of skills completely to prepare the food for his little princess.

After a few minutes, when he was done he went out of the kitchen and found that Lily was playing with a huge box of blocks. Lily had prepared something like a platform and Leo asked, "Baby, what is this?"

Lily replied, "This is the Lickey Palace. These blocks are all a part of the model of the palace. You know even the doors also open when you put it all together."

Leo nodded and patted her head as he replied, "For now, you ought to take the lunch and then you can work on this model. Come on."

Lily held his hand as they walked up to the dining table. Leo asked, "Where did your aunt go?"

Lily pointed toward the first floor and said, "She left while giggling on the phone."

Leo raised his brow and looked at the little girl as he was once again reminded, that his daughter locked gossip. She was truly a goblin. Leo shook his head and said, "It is none of your business what she did while she was on the phone. Young Lady, you should not talk about such things."

Lily nodded and began to eat her food under Leo's direction. She loved the bread and the vegetables, after she drank the soup she went back to her model palace, and Leo went to the study room. He wanted to read a few documents when he heard Fragrance giggling on the side of the corridor. The young man looked at her and their eyes matched before Fragrance said, "Okay, little Constance, I will talk to you later."

The call was ended and Fragrance said, "Are you thinking if I have a boyfriend?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "No, while I am not thinking about any such things, your niece surely is wondering if you have a big secret to hide from all of us."

Fragrance opened her eyes wide and said, "This little goblin sure likes to hear gossip."

Leo shrugged and Fragrance asked, "By the way, the office called me, did you offer a marketing partnership to the Aries Motors?"

Leo was stunned and replied, "That was done just a few hours ago, what happened?"

Fragrance replied, "Their legal head reached out to sign a deal with us."

Leo raised his brow and asked, "Aren't they are bit too quick?"

Fragrance nodded and replied, "Well, the agreement has been sent to me, I will review it in a bit and if there's any issue, I will run it by you."

Leo nodded and said, "Yes, that's fine."

After that Fragrance watched Leo turn around and she said, "For your information, Little Constance is a child in the orphanage, and he is quite a brilliant mind. He has the Savant Syndrome. He calls me to vent about the loopholes of the law."

Leo didn't bother and said, "I don't mind you dating someone Frag."

Then he went through the rest of the projects that had already been initiated at the company. Leo was keeping up with the daily status checks and looking to push the projects into the market as soon as he could. This will give him the influence that he needs to accomplish his goals.

...

Snow came home with a smile on her face, she saw Lily and picked up the little girl from the ground and gave her a swirl, before carefully putting her down. Lily was surprised and was about to pounce on Snow, when the lady said, "Wait. Let us go and talk to your Baba first and share the news."

Lily tilted her head and asked, "What news?"

Snow smiled and her eyes turned to crescent as she said, "We will know once we are upstairs. Come on."

The two of them climbed the stairs and Lily reached the top first. Snow took her time and moved carefully. Fragrance noticed this and turned to look at Anastasia who entered behind Snow and asked, "Aunty, what is going on?"

Anastasia smiled and said, "Let's go upstairs, I have been kept under a suspense as well."

The two ladies also followed the mother daughter pair upstairs. Snow gently knocked on the door of the study, she knew where she would find her workaholic husband.

The door was opened and Leo raised his head to find Snow and Lily coming over to him. He looked at Snow and asked, "What happened?"

He could tell by her expression that something was up. Snow waited for a few seconds, when all of the family came inside, she took a deep breath and replied, "Well, I missed my cycle two weeks ago, and took a home confirmation test. It came out positive, and so, today I went to the gynac, and they confirmed. I am two weeks pregnant."

Leo opened his eyes wide, and then he jolted up from his chair as he approached her, and asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say?"

Snow chuckled and reached out to hug him as she said, "I am pregnant. You are going to be a father again, and I will be a mother again, and Lily will be a big sister."

Lily finally understood what was going on and she dashed out of the study leaving everyone shocked, and Leo asked hurriedly, "Lily, what happened?"

Lily turned around and said, "Ma said I am going to be a big sister, doesn't that mean a flying crane will come to deliver a baby? I am going to hold the baby first."

The elders were shocked and they all erupted in laughter as Leo picked her up in his arms and embraced Snow at the same time. In his eyes, there were tears of exhilaration.
