Chapter 94 94: Love Makes Stronger.

Leo got up early in the morning and was heading out of the house. He saw Lily was up and Anastasia was also dressed in her sporty attire. Over weekends Leo would sometimes take Lily out as she wanted to be strong like him but after some distance she would need to ride his shoulders, so Snow told her to stay home.

Today, she had worn her own sports set and was following Anastasia in her stretching routine. Leo asked, "What is going on?"

Anastasia said, "I have a habit of getting up early and going for a run. Keeps me fit. Lily woke up early as well, and said that she wanted to follow. I thought, why not?"

Leo nodded and then he went inside the kitchen after asking, "Would you like to have something before heading out?"

The lady shook her head and Lily said, "I will have what you are having, Baba."

Leo had an amused reaction and asked, "Are you sure you want the same?"

Lily narrowed her gaze and then nodded. Leo came back with two empty tall glasses, placed them on the table. Then he took out a box of eggs from the fridge, and cracked open four for himself in one glass. He looked at Lily and asked, "Do you want one?"

Lily scrunched up her nose, and asked, "Are you going to eat them like this?"

Leo nodded and with a swift motion swallowed the eggs down. He said, "It is good protein."

Lily shivered and said, "Disgusting. Yuck, ewww."

Leo chuckled and said, "Fine, you should stick to some fruit juice. Picky eater."

He served her with the juice, and then the three of them headed out of the house. Leo waved one of the guards to follow him and handed him a small jacket. Anastasia noticed this but didn't say anything. She realized that Leo was a very considerate father. While he spoiled Lily, he also made sure that she didn't always act recklessly and integrated a little responsibility in her actions.

The three of them ran at their own paces. Leo was a little slow, following two meters from Lily, and it looked like he and Anastasia were just walking fast. After two hundred meters, Lily slowed down, and Leo said, "Let's pick up the pace."

He took the jacket from the guard, wrapped Lily up, and then lifted her above his shoulders and began to run faster. Anastasia was surprised, and Leo said, "I will go ahead, Cal, you escort her."

Cal nodded and watched as Leo sprinted away. Anastasia mumbled, "He didn't seem to be exaggeratedly strong."

Cal replied, "When young miss is out with him. Sir takes it slow, otherwise, he is on par with an elite, and runs ten miles around the villa complex and maintains a considerably stable pace."

Anastasia was surprised, it seemed that her son-in-law wasn't that simple. She looked in the distance and saw Lily spreading her hands as if she was a plane. She smiled as she thought, 'Life doesn't look so stale with a granddaughter.'

…

Leo came back home drenched in sweat and Snow looked at Lily, he couldn't help but intervene and said, "Don't scare her like this Snow. I can carry her around and it's not bad that she wants to be better."

Snow sighed and said, "I am only looking at her because this naughty child left the basin tap turned on. You overprotective knight in the sweaty tracksuit."

Leo chuckled and said, "Sorry, I thought… Well, I will get ready and they will drive you to work before heading to the company."

Lily asked, "Will I be staying home with Grandma?"

Snow nodded and said, "Symphony will come over at noon."

Lily nodded and she got out of her father's arms after giving him an exaggerated kiss. She didn't mind that he was dirty, but the young man said, "Baby, I am sweaty."

Lily chuckled and said, "It tastes salty."

Snow hurriedly took the naughty child back to the bathroom, and Leo entered the washroom. After a few minutes, Leo dressed up and came out of the bedroom holding the phone to his ear, and he said, "Well, acquire them. What is the problem?"

Percie Hibiscal on the other side was discussing something related to work. Leo sat down on the chair, when Lily came and patted his thigh. He picked her up and had her sit in his lap. The little girl began eating from his plate while Leo talked a bit with Percie.

When he was done, he began to share the food with Lily and the two ate their breakfast. Anastasia couldn't help but take out her phone to record the scene and when Leo said, "Love, Baba needs to get to work."

Lily hopped down from his lap and beckoned at him. Leo bent down and Lily reached out to pat his shoulder and gently tug on his tie. Leo was surprised and Lily said, "Ma always does it when you wear a suit. Today, I did. Now you look the most handsome Baba."

Leo smiled and spoke while embracing her, "You are the most beautiful and most loving daughter. Baba loves you so much."

Lily pecked his cheek and said, "Lily loves you more."

Leo gave her a kiss and Snow said, "How come I never get such love?"

Lily sighed and walked over to Snow, before she pretended to fix her hair and pecked her cheek as she said, "I love you too, Ma. You are so jealous."

Snow was stunned, she patted the bum of the little one gently and kissed her cheek hard and said, "I love you too, you naughty goblin."

Lily dramatically said, "Grandma, look, now I have lipstick on my face." Sёarᴄh the Nôvelƒire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Anastasia chuckled and Snow kissed her other cheek too before leaving home with Leo. The two people got in the sedan and Leo drove, the car with an SUV behind them.

He said, "I will arrange a car to pick up Symphony, can you talk to her mother?"

Snow nodded and asked, "Have you thought about what we should do now?"

Leo nodded and replied, "We will focus on gaining a higher standing in the market. I suggest that you come over to join the company. The sales department is a bit lagging."

Snow thought for a bit and said, "I will put in the resignation notice today, within a month, it should be settled."

Leo nodded and said, "I will send you some money later, try to get back in touch with Day Trading."

Snow agreed and said, "What are you doing about the taxation?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "We have been doing a lot of charity and I intend to ask the government about subsidies."

Snow frowned and shook her head, "Wait for a month. Expose the charitable deeds, then pay the taxes. Capture the public opinion and then ask the government. They will return the taxes paid and in the future you will have a better chance to cooperate with them."

The young man thought and said, "Fine. It works in our favor."

Snow wasn't just a teacher in some high school. She was the university topper who aced the Finance and Marketing department three years in a row. Even Leo was second best compared to her business acumen and taxes. This was why she agreed to give up the teaching job and also to join his work.

Leo had a feeling that it would be a crucial step for them to grow stronger. The enemy they had was the Tyrant group, they were not even ten percent of what the Tyrant group was capable of. Leo wanted to rise high enough to at least match Carole Primus in status before initiating an attack.

After a few minutes, they reached the school, and Snow left after kissing his lips. Leo sighed, he watched Jock get in the driving seat and the young man thought, "This war has been going on for a few years, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time. After all, revenge is best served cold. I don't mind waiting for a bit longer."

'Ping: Host, in the morning, your daughter kissed your sweaty cheeks to show her adoration for you. She expressed the love in her heart regardless of your condition. She also tried to straighten your clothes and tie, to show that she likes you looking better. You are rewarded with two points for strength attributes. So that you can always protect the happiness of that innocent soul back home.'

Leo was stunned, and then he sensed some warmth spread across his body and after a few minutes, he felt as if his body had gotten stronger significantly. He thought for a bit and asked, 'System, what is the meaning of 10 attribute points?'

System replied, 'Ping, host, 10 is the limit of a human body. There are people who can grow past the limit, but they are very rare. Now, if you are in a battlefield, you would be able to fight according to the norms of a special soldier.'

Leo frowned and he thought, why did he need such power?
