Chapter 257: Where Is My Mommy?
"Daddy, look, I baked a cake!" Evelyn explained happily as she presented the pink cake to him.
"Good girl, you are really my daughter to bake such a good cake; it's cute as you," Li Wei complimented her with a smile as he wiped off flour from her nose and cheeks.
"Daddy, you can't just praise me and yourself; sister Olivia helped me too," Evelyn stated with a pout.
"Yes, yes, she also did a good job," Li Wei replied, rolling his eyes at Olivia a little.
Because she was the one who applied the flour to her cheeks and nose on purpose.
Feeling his gaze, Olivia blushed with embarrassment.
Honestly, she didn't want to tease her, but with how cute and focused the little girl was, she just couldn't help herself.
Li Wei didn't blame her, nor did he care since the little girl was unaware of what Olivia did and was happy with the cake she baked.
"Daddy, do you need my help again?" Evelyn asked with big eyes.
Watching her like this, Li Wei ruffled her hair.
"Sure, how could I reject you?" he replied without hesitation.
This made Olivia speechless since he didn't even mind fighting with Li Xin and others when they said the same thing.
Li Wei felt her gaze and knew what she was thinking, but he didn't care.
He knew Li Xin and others just wanted to tease and spoil Evelyn; hence, they made an excuse to help him, unlike the little girl who was helping him genuinely.
Even if Evelyn didn't want to help and just wanted to watch him cook, he wouldn't refuse, or rather he couldn't, as she might complain to her master and aunties, which was quite dangerous for him.
Not to mention she herself was strong, and he couldn't stop her.
Hence, he ignored Olivia's speechless look and started to cook with Evelyn, who giggled happily at new things.
Olivia also joined them as she helped Li Wei while teasing the little girl as she applied the flour to her cheeks and nose again.
Li Wei was speechless at this and could only smile helplessly before reminding her to cook seriously.
Today the kitchen was very busy, and bell-like giggles continued to ring as Evelyn had a lot of fun.
However, this didn't last for too long since the cooking was over; nevertheless, she didn't feel down because her favorite food was on her plate and Li Xin was feeding her personally.
There were also others who kept adding food to her plate with a smile.
Of course, Li Wei was an exception since they didn't let him do this, especially Emily, who was sitting on his lap to keep an eye on him while also getting fed by him.
Li Wei could only smile dryly at this while reminding them not to trouble Evelyn too much.
'How good it would be if such days lasted forever,' he thought with a sigh as he watched everyone smile and joke with each other.
This was how he hoped to live, yet there were people who didn't want him to do this.
'Maybe I should just kill them before they could destroy my peace,' he muttered in his heart as he kept feeding Emily with a smile while wondering if he could solve them in secret.
The only thing that was stopping him was a good-person test that he needed to take frequently.
Even if he stayed at home and didn't go out of the city, there was still a thirty-day limit because he was a foreigner.
Not to mention if they suspected him, he had to take the test no matter what.
The only way to deal with this was to get equipment that can help him evade the illusion of a good person test.
However, with Irene and the old man being here, no people from the dark faction dared show their necks.
'It's really troublesome,' he thought, sighing inwardly as he pondered about other ways while eating dinner and feeding Emily.
Meanwhile, the girls were busy talking and doting on Evelyn. Of course, they didn't overdo it and only teased a little, making her pout.
Nevertheless, she and everyone enjoyed the dinner, as it was filled with stories.
After the dinner, everyone gathered in the hall, including Li Wei, who came after doing the dishes alone since Olivia was dragged by Emily and Lily.
"Daddy, you are back," Evelyn exclaimed, and without hesitation she jumped from Irene's lap before running towards him.
Li Wei couldn't help but shake his head helplessly as he cradled her.
"So, you do remember your dad, but only after I have done dishes, right?" he asked, rolling his eyes at her.
Watching him like this, Evelyn giggled.
"Daddy, its sister Irene's fault; she only told half of the story to me," she replied with pitiful eyes, making Li Wei speechless.
"So now you are done with the story?" he inquired.
"Un, I am done, but Daddy, where is my mommy?" she asked with hopeful eyes.
She didn't have any memories of her mother, but Aunty Sophia had told her she would know when her daddy took her out to explore the world.
At first, she thought her momma would be coming home late, but she didn't even see a figure, and no one talked about it.
This made her anxious since she hoped to have a mother who would love her like aunts and sisters.
Hence, she looked at Li Wei with anxiousness and hope.
Watching her like this, Li Wei became silent, as he didn't know whether he should make her sad by telling her there is no mother or tell a lie that she is somewhere else.
Just as he was hesitating, someone else replied in his place.
"Evelyn, don't bother to ask him; he likes to keep a secret, especially about your mommy since she is someone very important," Li Xin replied as she rolled her eyes at him while taking Evelyn from her.
"But don't worry, one day he would've had no choice but to bring your mommy home," she promised with a smile.
Hearing her Evelyn's anxious heart calmed down a lot, but she didn't believe it immediately and looked at Li Wei for confirmation.
Feeling her gaze, Li Wei smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, I will bring your mommy back home," he promised with a gentle expression.
