Lily and Leo returned ho and they found Snow sitting on the ground, she was reading a file and looking at the two, she asked, "Where have you both been?"
Lily shook her head with an exasperated expression and replied, "Baba has an unreliable friend, I ate lunch at his place."
Leo chuckled and said, "Choosing Violence as soon as you wake up?"
Lily sighed and she sat down beside Snow, who very smartly put away the file and pulled the groggy daughter into her soft embrace. She caressed the back of Lily’s head and asked, "What happened there?"
Lily let out a big breath and said, "What else would happen? Can you call over Aunty Cherry?"
Snow was surprised and she looked at Leo who shrugged and said, "I have no idea what she wants to do."
Snow looked at Lily and the latter said, "I have to match make her. You can invite her family I will lead the talk."
Snow raised her brows and checked the ti before she said, "Okay. Let try."
She also wanted to do sothing to pamper Lily. She picked up the phone and as soon as the call connected, she said, "Lily wants to host your family for dinner."
Cherry was left speechless, she replied, "You take out the big guns from the start?"
Snow chuckled and said, "The big gun is right now pointed at . Close the shop for an evening, you are already earning big. Bring Old Man Cherry as well, because all those years he fed us, this ti Leo will cook for him."
Cherry wanted to say sothing when Lily took the phone and said, "If you do not co tonight, Aunty Cherry, Lily will be sad and she will cry."
That was a statent she gave while assuming a sobbing tone, and that was all that she needed to make Cherry crumble. The latter promised, "No, no, my love, I will co tonight, and I will call your Grandma Cherry and Grandpa Cherry as well. Don’t worry. Don’t be sad."
Lily replied, "Okay, Aunty I will wait for you."
That said the call was disconnected and Lily said, "Baba, I want to each croquettes."
Leo stood up and saluted her as he said, "Yes, Your Highness, that shall be done."
The young man smiled and said, "I wonder how will you do what you do. Really looking forward to your handiwork, Young Miss Cardinal."
Lily smiled and said, "You got it, Baba."
...
Leo was busy inside the kitchen, after an hour when he ca back, the entire mansion seed to carry the lingering scent of his cooking. Lily was practicing Piano, she had not gone to bed because she was waiting to the assignnt at hand. She was kind like that.
Shortly after Leo and Lily began to play the piano together and were having fun, Cherry arrived at the door with her parents. Old Man Cherry and his wife were shocked, they didn’t expect that Leo, a humble and polite young man belonged to such a big family and that he was so rich.
Snow and Anastasia received the trio and led him inside. Fragrance helped Clara set up the table, the lawyer had taken it upon herself to help around the house as the people gave her a lot of love and attention.
Cherry and her family saw as Lily and Leo playing the piano and she was shocked to witness this level of skill from the two of them. The older couple was also the sa, Snow smiled and said, "They are getting better now."
Fragrance nodded and said, "Also, I asked a friend for their performance video from my friend at Channel 8, it is amazing."
The piano music ca to and end and Lily skipped over to greet the elders. The old couple smiled at her, and Lily using her skills of charm, made the elders take instant liking to her. She was even more dangerous than assassins, you would know that she is coming but you would have no power to defend. That smile of hers could cause even titans to whimper.
Cherry scooped up the little girl in her arms and asked, "What did you call over for, you little flower?"
Lily tilted her head to the side and said, "I just wanted to host you all for dinner, but I am small and cannot cook. More like Baba will not let near the flas. Also, I missed you after the last ti we went out."
Cherry smiled and she rubbed Lily’s cheeks and said, "I missed you too, little darling."
Leo and Snow watched the whole thing with a smile. Everyone in the house knew that under the scent of food, it was a deceitful web that was being cast by Lily. However, they wanted to see how it unfolded.
Lily chatted about the past a little and then she looked at the old couple and asked softly, "Grandma, why is Aunty still single?"
The trio was stunned, and Cherry even appeared to have a twitch develop on her face. The old lady sighed and said, "What shall I tell you dear? She wants to make herself a rich lady on her own. She wants to reach a higher level in the world of business. That is why she has shunned away a lot of our efforts."
Lily looked at Cherry and rolled her eyes as she said, "If that is the case, then take relationship as a business deal too. It would beco easier."
Cherry was taken aback once more. She asked, "What do you an?"
Lily shrugged and said, "Business is done by logic, and so if you approach the relationship with logic as well, it would make things easy to process and you would be able to get the best out of it. If you ask , I even have a candidate that is suitable for you."
Leo and Snow were seriously doubting if this devil was their own child.
