Book 18: Chapter 10
“There are so many books…”
“Lots of them are actually documents I’ve read. The documents were moved here for storage. They’re considerably old things. They’re meaningless now, but they were the steps that the North took to become what it is today, which also makes it His Majesty’s history. Lots of documents here no longer need to be store; however, Freya kept every document, citing that they might be very interesting in the future.”
Irina checked out the two huge bookshelves, where a large number of books and file holders were, on both sides of the office. The books and file holders were almost stacked up to the shelves’ glass. Ling Yue watched from behind her with a smile. Liu Yue slowly climbed onto the chair and then cheerfully climbed onto her father’s desk. Ling Yue turned around and immediately exclaimed, “Liu Yue, what are you doing?! Come down! That’s your father’s work desk!”
“Liu Yue, come down. It’s dangerous.”
The door suddenly opened. Liu Yue looked to the door, and a radiant smile came to her face. She cheerfully exclaimed, “Daddy!! Daddy is back!!”
Liu Yue dexterously hopped off the desk and zipped past her mother to leap into my tight embrace. I picked her up with a smile and kissed her cheek: “You’ve grown quite a bit, Liu Yue. You’re prettier than the last time I saw you.”
Liu Yue kissed her father. She joyously responded, “You, too, Daddy!”
Irina felt a little envious when she watched the father and daughter pair. He was a boy, but he was also a child. Her son could act spoilt with his father at his current age. Actually, even if he couldn’t act spoilt, he could’ve joyfully played with his father in the past. Nonetheless, because of her, he didn’t have a father during his childhood. On a positive note, that was also why he was very sensible and understanding. Her own child was afraid of worrying her. Sadly, sometimes, being too gentle will hurt others.
“Ling Yue. Irina.”
