Chapter 14: Very Spoiled Little Daughter, Fiona Crimson!
“Daddy!”
The little girl’s voice was so crisp and soft that anyone who heard it would instantly fall in love with her, including Leon, who was momentarily dazed.
Listening to this little girl address him as ‘Daddy’ directly caused his heart to race.
Various emotions—happiness, nervousness, worry, anticipation, and curiosity—swiftly surged within him.
Moreover, this marked the inaugural instance in his life that he had been addressed as ‘Daddy’!
The little girl, noticing Leon’s silent and dazed state, tilted her head with an innocent expression.
“Daddy, are you alright?” She asked in a worried tone, carefully extending her small palms to both of Leon’s cheeks.
As he felt her warm little hands, Leon quickly regained his senses.
“Ah! No, I’m fine,” Leon reassured, shaking his head as he gradually regained his composure.
In the aftermath of the initial shock, his mind had gone blank momentarily, unbeknownst to him.
Despite his preparedness from the start, nervousness still gripped him.
After all, this cute little girl was his biological daughter, a revelation he hadn’t been aware of until now.
How could he not be nervous and suppress his shock?
Upon learning that Leon was fine, the little girl’s worries vanished instantly, replaced by joy, which soon gave way to sadness, tears welling up in both corners of her round eyes once again.
“Wuuu! Daddy! I finally get to see you!” Without giving Leon a chance to prepare, the little girl lunged forward, tightly hugging Leon’s neck.
Her tears flowed profusely, akin to floodwaters, soaking Leon’s neck.
Perhaps due to the depth of the blood relationship, Leon felt a heartache as if he were being torn apart by a knife.
Gently, he embraced the little girl and gradually rose to sit on the bed.
“It’s okay; Daddy’s here. Don’t be sad anymore, okay?” Leon smiled, patting the small part of her back that trembled from crying.
Unbeknownst to him, a few tears welled up in the corners of his eyes, signifying the first time he had shed tears since rising to heroism.
Even upon discovering betrayal by the imperial palace and plummeting from a powerful figure to a state no better than that of a cripple, he didn’t shed a single tear.
This attests to the strength of his mind, honed over the years.
However, for some reason, witnessing this little girl cry unleashed a profound sadness within him that he could no longer contain, prompting involuntary tears to fall.
“No wonder a father would do anything for their child; indeed, the inner connection between a child and a father is incredibly strong,” Leon muttered to himself, finally comprehending the depth of a father’s emotions.
Due to the indifferent nature of his parents in his previous life, Leon harbored resentment and skepticism toward parents who genuinely pampered and loved their children.
Yet at this very moment, he had to admit that such sincere feelings not only existed but also brought about a sense of enlightenment within him.
After a few minutes, the little girl gradually ceased crying, appearing satisfied with expressing all her emotions.
“Feeling better?” Leon asked gently, stroking her silky white hair.
Her white hair closely resembled Liliana’s, and it felt incredibly silky to the touch.
“Um! I’m satisfied, and my longing has finally paid off, Daddy.” In a gentle, spoiled tone, the little girl responded and continued to cling to him tightly, as if reluctant to release her embrace.
Her actions elicited laughter from Leon, who found them quite amusing.
“Alright then. By the way, could you come down and introduce yourself, my little girl?” Leon affectionately combed her white hair with his fingers.
He felt a bit embarrassed, realizing he didn’t know his own daughter’s name at all.
If this news were known to fathers worldwide, he would likely become the subject of laughter and ridicule, with people saying, “Damn! What kind of father is that, not even knowing his own daughter’s name?”
Cough! Please forgive him; after all, he’s just a novice father who recently earned the title!
“Ah! I’m sorry for forgetting to introduce myself, Daddy!” The little girl’s eyes widened, and she promptly released her embrace around Leon’s neck.
She then sat on the bed, positioning herself face-to-face with him.
From this closer distance, Leon could finally see her face very clearly—more clearly than ever before.
A remarkably cute and beautiful little face exuded innocence, complemented by short, snow-white hair cascading slightly beyond her small shoulders.
Her two innocent, round, golden eyes possessed a unique and adorable charm.
If Leon were to be honest, he felt like he was seeing a reflection of his own childhood in this girl!
“Damn! Isn’t this too similar to me when I was a child?” Leon was dumbfounded, rendered speechless by the shock.
If her snow-white hair were dyed black like his, this little girl might be the female version of him as a child!
Observing Leon’s focused gaze, the little girl blinked her round eyes.
“Daddy? What’s wrong?” she asked curiously, bringing Leon back to his senses.
“Ah! It’s nothing. I’m just surprised at how much you resembled me when I was a child,” Leon said, shaking his head and hiding nothing from her.
“Do I really look like you, Daddy?” Her eyes lit up as if Leon’s words brought her immense joy.
“Um! Of course. By the way, can you introduce yourself?” Leon gently rubbed her head and asked.
Stroking her like this felt oddly addictive to him, bringing a sense of peace of mind that he hadn’t experienced in a long time.
“Hehehe~ I’m Fiona Crimson! Nice to meet you, Daddy~” she introduced herself with joy, her eyes narrowing as if relishing the pleasure of being petted by Leon.
Upon hearing her name, which sounded beautiful and normal, Leon felt relieved and grateful.
‘(It’s a good thing that woman didn’t give my daughter a strange name.)’ he muttered to himself.
Due to the significant difference between the two races, Leon initially feared that his three daughters would have peculiar names.
Fortunately, this girl’s name was quite good, and the remaining two little girls were likely to be similarly fitting.
“So that’s it. Your name is Fiona, and it really does sound very beautiful.” Leon pinched her chubby cheeks like buns and praised her without hesitation.
“Hehehe~ Daddy compliments me~” Fiona giggled and leaned forward slightly, hugging Leon’s body.
Hugging her father left her wanting, as if she perpetually yearned to be in his exceptionally warm embrace.
This sentiment fueled an addiction and obsession with him.
Leon embraced her in return, relishing the warmth and sweetness of the moment, as it became apparent that his little daughter was indeed quite spoiled by him.
What father in the world wouldn’t desire to spoil their daughter?
Furthermore, this daughter of his was so cute and adorable that he loved her very much, even though this was their first meeting.
The two embraced each other as if channeling their longing, until suddenly, the sound of footsteps outside the door, accompanied by the creak of the door knob turning, startled them both.
“Clack!”
