Chapter 370 - 7.60 Daddy’s Little Girl
Cheryl blinked, then blinked again, lips parting when her gaze landed on the screen. All of a sudden, tears flooded her silver eyes. Her bottom lip quivered. Before Lu Yizhou could react, she had thrown herself into him and cried out. "Daddy!"
Lu Yizhou’s breath stuttered, both from the impact of Cheryl’s weight and the shock, his arms subconsciously reaching out to steady the little girl on his lap. He had his own doubt but... confirming the truth was another matter altogether. He abruptly snapped to his senses when he remembered that the room was currently under supervision! Not to mention that he hadn’t told Moshe how they had had a daughter in another world, what if the person behind the camera wasn’t Moshe himself? Lu Yizhou couldn’t take the risk.
"What are you saying, Cheryl?" Lu Yizhou peeled the little girl off him and gave her a sharp look. His other hand was rapidly typing on his phone but damn it! Aiden’s phone was ancient enough that one had to put in some strength to type one character. Some of the buttons weren’t even working! Lu Yizhou only hoped that Cheryl could catch his meaning.
However, before he even finished typing, Cheryl’s eyes widened in realization and she once again hurled herself into Lu Yizhou’s arms, sobbing dramatically. "I–I had a nightmare about Daddy last night! I woke up to find you but you’re not even there! So I... So I..." Cheryl began to wail, letting her (fake) tears fill the blanks of her answer.
At the same time, she lifted her head and offered him a gummy smile. Precisely like how Bianca did everytime she had made a mistake and wanted to wheedle herself out with merely selling cuteness.
Lu Yizhou raised a brow, unmoved but amused nonetheless. So she also noticed the hidden cameras? Questions swirled in his mind and he wondered how he could talk to Cheryl without inciting any suspicion.
For starters, Lu Yizhou had never expected that he and his lover’s child wasn’t ordinary at all.
Watching her grow up, Lu Yizhou assumed he would pick up on something if Bianca showed any signs of being out of the norm. She had been intelligent, creative and very sensible even as an infant. But Lu Yizhou didn’t have any notes to compare. He simply thought it was normal, considering the little girl was born out of his lover’s body.
From a mischievous child, she had grown into a bold, confident young lady. Right after Oliver fell sick and Lu Yizhou put down his mantle as the Emperor, she had been a commanding and domineering Alpha who could make anyone fall on their knees just with one word. The last time they saw each other... had been a few days before his and Oliver’s departure from the world. Bianca always made sure to visit their little cottage at least once a week, bringing interesting news and little trinkets she thought would cheer Oliver up.
