Book 19: Chapter 13
“Good morning, Dad.”
“Good morning, Vera, Nona, Liu Yue, Daisy.”
With a smile, Troy gave all of his daughters a kiss. He had to kiss every one of them each and every morning to avoid them getting grouchy. His four daughters winsomely hugged their dad around his neck and gave him a kiss on his cheek. Initially, Nona dared to kiss her dad on his lips, but she was met with her mom’s revenge afterward. She was left to starve until she ended up admitting that it was wrong of her to do that. The four girls who had yet to come of age, therefore, decided to reserve their true strength for the better when faced with their moms’ anger.
Freya always came to breakfast with a document folder in hand to report the day’s news. That was when the four sisters were most inattentive.
Daisy would eat as fast as she could to leave earlier, where she then pretended to bump into her dad so that she could walk with him to his office. However, Daisy yawned. She almost fell forward and dipped her head into her bowl. Noticing her daughter’s condition, Nier frowned: “Daisy, why do you look so sleepy today? I remember you went to bed early yesterday. Did you sneak out yesterday?”
“Erm….” Daisy had no response. She lowered her head and didn’t respond.
Just as Nier was about to reprimand her daughter, Troy wrapped it up with a smile: “It’s all right. Daisy must’ve been eager for our trip today. That must’ve been why she didn’t sleep so well last night. Just sleep on the train later.”
Daisy signalled a “thank you” with her eyes. While Nier was displeased with her daughter, she didn’t complain since she deeply loved her husband. Once Daisy’s issue was sorted out, Troy indicated for his sister to go on. Freya picked up the folder next to her again and continued reading out the day’s global news.
Breakfast was tasty, but the four sisters didn’t have an appetite. They were occupied with how to bring up their idea with their dad. They, at the very least, needed him to mention it. It would be for the best if Freya brought it up. Therefore, the four closely listened in to her report.
