Chapter 11 'Bond,
"Don't cry anymore, Yuyu.." Yuan was troubled, he had no interactions with children in the past, he hoped this would soothe the sobbing Yuri at once.
"...hic...I'm alright, Daddy..." Yuri said while rubbing her tears, "I'm just happy..."
Yuan rushed towards her and embraced the little girl. Softly patting her back and saying whispers of, "There...There..."
Beta watched the two with shocked eyes, it was the first time seeing their princess cry. She usually was domineering. The same goes for the King who was said to be a devil, merciless and won't hesitate to kill. Now that person the demon world admires and the human world fears, was soothing someone gently like a father; which he truly was.
After crying for a few rounds, Yuri stopped her crying and was beaming with happiness again.
Beta sighed at this, he now was unsure if the princess was just acting a while ago or if it was real. Call on him that the princess was a natural two faced demon kid.
*Ring.*
*Ring*
Yuan heard his phone ringing, he turned to the side of his hand and took it and went to look at who was calling. Seeing it was Amie, Yuan excused himself from the table and went to his balcony to answer the call.
"Amie, Hello?" Yuan asked, his voice cracked a bit before he was able to return to his right tone.
"Yuan!" Amie shouted, Yuan twisted his ears after the voice sent his eardrums on fire.
"Cousin Gabriel just called early in the morning, and he made me inspect the area around the shop and it was freaking cold!" She gritted her teeth in annoyance.
Pausing a bit, she continued, "Where the HELL ARE YOU! It's already past 8, it's 9am! Should I yell again? Still didn’t hear me well? Damn, I’ve been awake for the whole morning Yuan!."
"Um..." Yuan hmm-ed in the soiree of the moment, he ran his hand on his black hair as he glanced at the door behind him.
Amie heard his silence, so she asked in worry,"What?! Is there something going on there?"
"Just wait a second.." Yuan replied after a long halt. “I have something important to do first, I’ll go there as soon as I finish my matters.”
Amie was speechless, but before she could answer back, Yuan put the call on hold and returned to the kitchen.
When Yuri saw him return, she asked, "Daddy, who was that?"
Yuan glanced at her and truthfully said, "Someone who works alongside me. Her name is Amie."
"Ohhhh...Is she pretty?" Much prettier than Mommy? Yuri asked as her hands intertwined.
"In her age, I guess so?" Yuan added while he playfully pinched Yuri’s nose “ But definitely not prettier than your mother...”
Yuri murmured,"I see..."
Yuan looked at the little girl who had her head hung low and her swan-like neck was revealed. While looking at her, Yuan noticed a mole in the middle of her neck and the girl's identity was again confirmed.
'she really is my daughter'
He thought, amused, subconsciously, he stretched his hand behind his neck where the same mole was visible.
"By the way, do you want to come with me?" Yuan then asked, his tone of worry in the answer of refusal.
"Come with you to where?"
Yuri answered with a question, making it a step longer to achieve the answer.
"To my workplace."
He continued, his eyes then remained firmly on her making Yuri smile.
"Uh, why, oh sure!"
She replied with a cock of her head.
Yuan smiled and cheered,"Then that's great!"
