Almighty Father System

Leo was stunned by Lily's reaction and the other people also looked at them. Snow couldn't help but break out in a chuckle, when she looked at Lily's eyes wide open. She calmed down after a few moments and said, "Baby, why do you think your Baba would joke about this?"

Lily looked at Snow, and pointed at Anastasia as she said, "She doesn't look like Grandma."

Snow was amused, and Anastasia asked curiously, "Then what do I look like?"

Lily thought for a bit and replied, "Umm, you look like Ma's elder sister?"

Now, it was Leo's turn to open his eyes wide. This kid was so slick that both the ladies were thrown into an emotional chaos. Snow narrowed her eyes and asked, "Am I that old in your eyes?"

Anastasia waved her hand and said, "Snow, I love your daughter so much more now. Come child, come to grandma."

Lily shrank back in Leo's embrace, and Anastasia raised her brow. Leo said, "She is a bit shy, just give her sometime. Love, we are going to the vet."

Snow nodded and watched the man carry his daughter in his arms as if they were running from a prison. Symphony was at a loss but she quickly picked up her bag and greeted the two ladies before following the two people.

A moment later, Leo came back in while Lily peeked at her mother from the door, as her father picked up the kitten and wished the two ladies a good time and came out.

When they got in the car, Lily patted her chest and sighed, "Ma can be very scary."

Leo rubbed his forehead, he found that his daughter had a knack for drama. He sighed and said, "Honey, can you not call your mother old? She is just twenty five, you know. We had you early in our lives."

Lily nodded and said, "But, Baba, you saw how Grandma looks right? She looks like an aunty."

Leo then spent half an hour educating her on how age is a sensitive topic for women and how they should never be called a few certain words. Jock was driving the vehicle with a smile on his face. If somebody asked how he felt working in this house, then he would say it was a bliss.

They reached the avenue where Symphony lived and Leo got down from the car. He looked at the surroundings and said, "Symphony. Can I say something to you?"

Symphony nodded and asked, "Yes, Sir. Did I do anything wrong?"

Leo shook his head with a faint smile. He said, "Snow told me about the situation at your home. If you have any emergency then feel free to call me. Okay?"

Symphony nodded, and Leo continued, "I am not your family, but you can think of me as your elder brother. So, next time, if you want to talk about anything, even if it is personal, you can come to me or your Teacher Snow. Don't worry about those rich brats at school. You are better than them, and you can beat them all with your eyes closed. Okay? Stay strong, you have us watching your back."

His simple nonsensical words touched the heart of the teenager because he displayed conviction in his tone. Symphony wiped the few tears that gathered on her eyelids and nodded hurriedly as she greeted him with a bow and dashed inside the building.

Leo watched her for a bit, before he got inside the car and they drove away. Lily asked, "Baba, what were you talking to with Sister Symphony?"

Leo shook his head and replied, "I was telling her how to be strong. She doesn't have a father to protect her, so I told her that I will be her big brother, she can come to me if she need. From now on, you also take care of her, if you notice anything odd, you tell me. Okay?"

Lily nodded, and then after fifteen minutes they reached the vet, where they got Momo checked and her hair washed and trimmed. The little girl watched everything with great interest, but Jock and Leo were talking about something else.

Jock asked, "Sir, aren't you paying a bit too much attention to that girl? I mean, I can understand that you have your reasons, but what if someone detects us through her?"

Leo shook his head and said, "Jock, you don't understand how cruel Carole can be. He really has no intention of reconnecting with that child. He used the fee incident to directly cut off ties, and even had her name changed. Snow has checked, the changes were made thoroughly even in the government directories. He doesn't have the habit of looking back and that's why he will suffer. Symphony is the song of his demise and I am the conductor of this grand magnum opus. This is why I want to win Symphony's trust and nurture her into a sword that cuts deep but doesn't draw blood. I want Carole to face what I faced, but even worse than me."

Jock stopped speaking, as he knew that Leo was by no means a hero. He was a coin which had two sides, and once he flipped, it would be a scene of utter destruction.

After an hour, Momo was ready to be taken home, and Lily began to shop for collars, and other cute accessories. She would even try some on Momo instantly. Leo shook his head and said, "Love, buy less, Ma will scold us."

The little goblin instantly became disciplined. In the end, they walked out with catnip scented cat food, two collars, two new brushes, and four bags of litter gravel, and one Cat tree.

Leo didn't know what he should say, but since he had money, saying 'No' to somethings that brings his daughter a smile was something he wouldn't say.

When they reached home, in the garden, Lily stuck close to Leo and held his pants. The young man shivered and picked her up. He said, "Don't be afraid, I will talk to your Ma. She will not scold you, just promise not to say such things in the future. Okay?"

Lily kissed his cheek and hugged him tight as she said, "Baba, you are Lily's best knight. You protected me from Mother Dragon."

Leo wanted to chuckle but he said, "No bad comments!"

Lily hurriedly nodded and stuck her tongue out.

Leo closed his eyes for a second and his mindset had some minute changes.
