Leonardo looked over at Mila.
Seeing his sharp eyes, Mila felt both guilty and ashamed. She lowered her head and then felt a little better.
Leonardo held his daughter on his laps.
He touched her soft cheeks with his big hand, his heart full of unspeakable love.
This was his baby girl!
Actually, four and a half years ago, Leonardo was not ready to be a father.
It was just a one-night stand between Mila and him. However, his friend Anthea said that as a man, he had to take responsibility. Now, he was 29 years old and began to envy other people's happy family.
Yesterday in the Schain's Mansion, there were many words that couldn't be said. If they made trouble, it would definitely be a mess.
Leonardo himself also had too many emotions to digest. After leaving the Schain's Mansion last night, he followed Mila to the hotel. Seeing that Holly was asleep, he did not disturb them and restrained himself from visiting them until this morning.
Leonardo's tone was almost the gentlest in his life. "Holly, I'm not a ghost, I'm a living person! Tell me, what is your name?"
Holly would be four years old in three months. She had lost too much fatherly love. Leonardo could only understand her bit by bit and try to remedy it bit by bit.
She replied obediently, "Holly Jillson. Mother hopes that I can be a well-mannered lady when I grow up!"
Leonardo said with a smile, "Yes, you will!"
Holly tilted her head to look at him.
Then, she turned around and stretched out her arms to Mila, asking her to hug her. "Mom!"
Mila rushed forward and held her in her arms.
Holly wrapped her arms around Mila's neck and looked at Leonardo, then leaned to her ear and whispered uncertainly, "Mom, is he really my dad?"
When she heard that, the corner of Mila's mouth twitched.
Under Leonardo's threatening gaze, she had nowhere to hide. She couldn't lie even if she wanted to.
Mila closed her eyes and then opened. She forced herself to nod. "Yes, he is really your dad!"
Getting a positive answer from her mother, Holly looked at Leonardo with obvious excitement and joy in her eyes. The shy little girl cheered, "Dad, you came from the sky!"
The corner of Leonardo's mouth twitched as he glared at Mila.
He said embarrassingly, "Yes!"
Leonardo stood up and held his daughter in his arms again. Smelling the milk smell on her body, he felt that his heart was melting. He personally took her to the bathroom to wash up. Although he was clumsy, he still combed a braid for her. In the process, Holly had been staring at him through the mirror, and there was something shining in her eyes.
Leonardo held her to sit on the sofa again and said, "Good girl, let’s have breakfast, okay?"
"Okay!" Holly nodded.
Only then did Mila notice that there was a food cart next to them, but it was not what she asked from the hotel. It was the breakfast brought by Leonardo.
There was a wide variety of dishes, including the snacks from the north and south as well as Chinese and western styles. The three-decker cart was filled with different kinds of dishes. It seemed that Leonardo had brought all the breakfast that could be found in the whole Ice city.
It seemed that he did not know what Holly liked, so he bought so much.
Mila felt a little guilty in her heart.
Halfway through the meal, Leonardo said, "Holly, can you eat by yourself first? I have something to say to your mom!"
"Okay!" Holly nodded.
