Chapter 269: Sudden Situation
"Daddy!" Evelyn came running into the kitchen after getting ready.
Li Wei was surprised at this, but he threw away all his questions and cradled the little girl with love.
"Did you sleep well?" he inquired softly.
Hearing him, Evelyn nodded with a pleased look.
"Yes, I slept well, but I missed daddy," she replied and started to snuggle in his chest with love.
Watching her like this, Li Wei smiled and caressed her back.
"Just wait a little; the breakfast is almost done," he said, nudging her small nose.
In response, Evelyn nodded with a cute look and sat on the table to watch both Olivia and Li Wei cook breakfast with interest.
She didn't notice that a small fox was staring at her with shock.
'Why does someone like her exist in this world?' Mira thought with a dumfounded look.
Sophia hadn't told her anything about Evelyn, hence why she was shocked at her presence.
Especially since she could feel a threat from her and wasn't able to gauge how powerful she was.
Moreover, this little girl was very close with Li Wei and was even calling him daddy.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at him with a deep look.
Li Wei noticed her stare, but he ignored her as Evelyn was waiting for breakfast.
There was no way he would let the little girl wait, so he sped up the pace of cooking.
His actions made Mira pout at him, but she didn't say or request any explanation about Evelyn.
If even a goddess like Sophia had not told her, then there must be someone more powerful, or someone at least at her level, behind the little girl.
Even though she was a powerful nine-tailed spirit fox, it didn't mean she was invincible, especially in front of gods.
So, she didn't dare to inquire about the little girl just out of curiosity.
Moreover, the little girl couldn't see her, so there was no need to be nosy.
Hence, she didn't care too much about getting ignored by him and focused her attention on the food he was cooking.
It didn't take too long, and within fifteen minutes all the dishes were cooked.
"Olivia, go and inform everyone; until then, I will take Evelyn there and prepare the table," he said.
Hearing him Olivia was stunned a little, but she nodded immediately.
"I will go then," she replied, however, she didn't leave immediately and approached the little girl who was sitting on the counter.
"Evelyn, sister, I will wait for you outside," she said as she pinched her soft cheeks with a smile.
Only after she was satisfied did she take her leave.
Evelyn was extremely resentful at this and threw herself in Li Wei's arms.
"Daddy! Look, sister Olivia bullied me," she complained with tears.
Watching her like this, Li Wei was speechless.
"Tell me what I should do then?" he asked with a helpless look.
"Hehe~ give me an extra burger today!" Evelyn replied with a giggle, her tears disappearing immediately.
"Little girl, you are asking the wrong person here; you should pester your sisters who are going to feed you," Li Wei reminded, pinching her nose.
In response, Evelyn stuck her tongue out and gazed at the dishes he was preparing.
"Daddy, why did you take out breakfast here? Are we going to eat secretly?" she asked with excitement and was quite eager to eat secretly.
Watching her like this, Li Wei couldn't help but roll his eyes at her.
"If you eat here now then those sisters would kill me as they won't be able to feed you anymore," he replied, and he stored the container of food in his item box.
As for the dishes on the table, they were for Mira the fluffy fox.
Evelyn couldn't help but become disappointed when she heard him and became curious for whom he had taken out the breakfast.
'In sister Emily's story, there was a husband who prepared food secretly for his lover; does that mean Daddy has one too?' she thought her imagination was running wild as she got led astray by another little girl when no one was paying attention.
Li Wei didn't know her thoughts, but he felt strange when she looked at him with those curious eyes.
Nevertheless, he didn't care too much and contacted Mira through the connection.
(Do you need more?) he asked.
(No need; that should suffice for me,) Mira replied.
After this, she didn't wait for Li Wei to say anything and directly turned into pink light disappearing into his chest.
The dishes on the table also followed the suit, which made Evelyn stunned.
'So, Daddy is hiding his lover in his own heart!' she muttered inwardly and wondered how he did this.
Once again, Li Wei remained unaware of her throughs and felt a little strange.
However, he didn't waste any time and cradled the little girl before making his way to the breakfast table.
It didn't take too long, and within a few minutes, everyone arrived.
After this, they heartlessly separated the happy father and daughter.
'How cruel! They don't care about the feelings of poor me,' Li Wei complained in his heart as he saw them taking Evelyn away without any shred of guilt.
Nevertheless, he wasn't unhappy and started to eat his breakfast.
Everyone else also did the same, along with chatter and laughter.
With everybody enjoying it the time passed quickly, and breakfast was soon over.
Only after this did the little girl reunited with her father.
"Daddy! Take me out to play," Evelyn requested with an expectant look.
Watching her like this, Li Wei smiled and ruffled her hair.
"Okay, we will go once Emily arrives, so get ready until then," he agreed without any hesitation.
Hearing him, Evelyn perked up happily.
"Daddy is the best!" she exclaimed with a giggle and snuggled in his arms with love.
However, her actions came to an abrupt stop, and her gaze became fixed on the sky outside with a serious look.
Immediately after this, Li Wei, Irene, and Lyla also gazed at the sky with solemn expression.
'What's happening? Why is there so much mana gathering suddenly!' Li Wei thought with a shocked look.
