“You… Telepathy just sucks” Evelyn complained. She couldn’t even think? Argh! So annoying! “But it’s helped us out back at McDermott hospital and when we came here last night. Did you forget?” “Vanny, you are mean!” Evelyn whined. “First option, eat dog or cat food, second option, eat some undercooked yam, salad and raw honey. And lastly, option three, allow me to hug you seven times” before Vanessa could finish, Evelyn hugged her seven times instead and this caused Vanessa to smile. “My lady, you bill is 7 million dollars” “What?” Evelyn exclaimed. “You didn’t let me finish. If you had allowed me to hug you, you’d pay 7000 dollars but now, since you did the opposite, your bill is 7 million. You can start transferring the money.” “I don’t have money. I’m broke” Evelyn ran out of the room. When she had entered her own room, she telepathed: “I will bring you your money soon” “I’m expecting it soon. And another goodnews, I can now walk. Found out last night” Vanessa telepathed back to her BFF. “Then, you are in for a big surprise baby. Just get ready and come meet me downstairs in an half an hour.” Evelyn cut off telepathy and started preparing for the big occasion ahead. However, a certain someone elsewhere was super pissed. Why was this happening to him?

Dreamville Paradise private residential area, Y city. This place contains only King mansions. It’s way higher than the Refined mansions and the cheapest is worth 7-10 million dollars and the best one here worth 29 million dollars belongs to the city’s best business king, Jack Oliver Reynolds, the father of Lisa. Not many know he has a kid though. So yeah, he’s the mystery man who is very angry. Wanna know why? It’s not hard to guess. He is unhappy because of Lisa’s current behavior. He is currently in her luxurious princess-sized bedroom staring daggers at her. The room temperature was low but no one dared to make a noise except for Lisa. Since yesterday, after he forcefully took her away from the care of Vanessa at McDermott hospital, she had been crying and refusing to eat. Can you believe she even dared to destroy his favorite laptop to the point of no repair? It was worth 3. 5 million but that wasn’t his pain. A lot of drafts and projects were in it. This little demon… she dared do this and even tore the clothes he was to wear out today. In addition, many antiques and various furniture that her small hands could reach had been ruined completely! Then she refused to eat and has continued crying. For the first time, he had to stay with her last night in hopes of letting her calm down. He didn’t plan on punishing her yet. He’d do so much later when she’s all big and grown up. “Ugly, please shut up. I’ve said I wouldn’t punish you. Am I clear?” he spoke in an annoyed tone. He had eye bags coz he couldn’t sleep last night. Same with Lisa but she still crys. At this rate, he thought she’s gonna cry herself to death. Such a bold kid he’s got! He sighed and closed his eyes, then reopened them. In a nicer tone, he spoke: “Lisa, don’t cry anymore alright? Daddy is sad to see you like this. Stop crying alright? If you stop, I’ll buy you whatever you want and give you a goodnight kiss after I read you bedtime stories, ok?” The three bodyguards and two maids standing far from them in the room felt pity for Lisa. What had their boss done to make sweet Lisa cry like this? It’s so sad! At the same time, they were pitying their boss even more. He’s never being a fatherly figure to the little one and hated her. Now, he’s been reduced to this state and still trying to savage pride. Ah, boss why? They felt like laughing at their boss’ misery. Hearing what her dad had said, Lisa stopped crying and said: “I want my mummy” At this, Jack stood up, angered again. Why does she keep asking for such thing over and over again? This little… forget it. He’s run out of names to call her in his heart. Damn it! He facepalmed and turned away to look at his staff who kept a straight face. “What? Haven’t you seen me before? Get lost!” he thundered. ‘Yes, sir!” they chorused and were about to leave in an orderly manner when Jack ordered them to stay. “Handle this little… princess.” facing Lisa once again, he said: ” I am going to get you a beautiful mummy” Then he stormed out of the room escorted by the 6 guards who were waiting outside the room. He had a mission- find a very beautiful woman to be Lisa’s mummy. Love wasn’t needed at all!
After Jack had left the room, the two maids (nannies) and three bodyguards inched closer to Lisa. They were unable to say a word. How would they start comforting this girl who could cry a damful of tears huh? Her dad has tried but failed although his ways of comforting her were suoer terrible. Sigh! Unexpectedly, Lisa wiped her tears and asked them to quickly get some water and lots of food. The bodyguards and nannies could only shake their head. This girl was as scary and cunning as her dad. See the way she played him. Now they felt even more pity for Jack. 15 minutes later. Lisa patted her belly and licked her lips. “Nanny Arabelle, your food tasted great. But next time, add a little more pepper” she commented. “Y… Yes, my princess! I’ll do better next time” the red-haired nanny replied. “Hmph! Take these away. And also get my bath ready. I feel and also smell terrible. Hurry, you tortioses!” she barked. “Sorry, my princess” the nannies apologized. The bodyguards stepped out of the room to wait outside. 30 minutes later. Lisa had just finished bathing and had come out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel that covered her knees. Then she headed to the changing room to dress up with one of the nannies’ help. When she was done, she came out wearing a green floral skirt, white mini top that exposed her navel and a pale pink jacket. She also wore pink shoes, bracelet and wrist watch respectively on each wrist. She had green and yellow stripped headphones resting around her neck. Her hair was tied in two ponytails making her look even more cute. “Awww!” the nanny cried in her heart. Such a beautiful princess! A pity she lost her dear mum so early. She must have seen so many kids with their moms and her dad believed that as long as he gave her all the things money can buy: top quality food, clothes, toys, education, luxury home, vacation to anywhere she wanted; that was more than enough. But he doesn’t know that she needs him just as she misses her mum. Sigh! When will the chosen female arrive to bring father and daughter closer? Lisa left the room and headed to her game room to have a little fun. Yeah, our cute baby girl loves to game too and she is not your average noob. She’s a pro! “Prepare recording equipment. I’m gonna slap their faces so hard it will never heal.” she commanded after sitting on her custom made game chair. She took a small can containing juice and took a sip. “Yes, my princess” two bodyguards started getting busy, getting the necessary things done. Lisa kept turning around on her gaming chair. “Hurry up you fools. How can a tortoise be faster than you dummies, huh? Mr Jack Oliver Reynolds pays you a high salary that you don’t even deserve. And yet you make me annoyed. You are all stupid” she was getting impatient. The two bodyguards sighed internally. They’d always known her to be bossy and picky but never has she behaved like this. Her Dad must have pissed her so bad. Life is hardAll content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
