Almighty Father System Chapter 68 68: Starry Sky

Leo stood up from the couch and said, "Snow, can you handle dinner? I will go and prepare the backyard for stargazing."

Snow nodded and then she said, "I will make so snacks for the night as well."

Lily stood up and looked at the two of them. Snow asked, "What are you looking at, Kiddo?"

The little girl said, "I am thinking if I should help Ma, or Baba."

Leo smiled and said, "Well, Baba is heading out to buy a few things, so you can help till I co back and then lend a helping hand. Okay?"

Lily nodded quickly and then she dropped Leo to the gate and went in to help Snow. The young man got in the car, and Jock insisted on accompanying him.

Leo was scrolling through his phone when Jock said, "Sir, the eting with Simon Silence has been arranged. That guy invited us to the pub on the south street."

Leo shook his head and said, "I burned that pub, I am not interested in going there. Call him to a nice restaurant at noon."

Jock nodded, the two people ca to the supermarket and quickly Leo grabbed a couple of inflatable mattresses, and anti-skid bed sheets. Then he also got so snacks, a bottle of wine, and glass lanterns.

Then he loaded the stuff in the car and headed back ho. On the way he received a call from Percie, who said, "President, all the share transfer docunts have been signed and notarized. You now own the Cardinal Group. Mister Vincent holds a thirty percent equity but that is all."

Leo nodded, and said, "Send soone to him, and say, that we will buy the stocks off his hands and give him the money that he needs to hire a lawyer for his trials. Since you are working so hard, Miss Hibiscal, I will allow you to hold five percent of the equity of the company, given that you fish out the money to buy it all."

Percie fell silent for a mont, and then said, "Five percent seems a bit too less, no?"

Leo chuckled and replied, "Greed is not a good thing, Miss Hibiscal. The offer stands till the morning, think about it, and then decide."

Percie Hibiscal sighed and disconnected the call. Jock asked, "Sir, why are you giving her the equity?"

Leo smiled and replied, "Jock, this woman is very ambitious, and unless she sees any profit, she will not put in the work to revive the dwindling Cardinal Group. This is a bait that I have thrown so that she can put in so extra effort. Damage control is not an easy thing."

Jock nodded, he didn't understand business, and what seed like a big amount of equity at the mont, it was just a drop in the ocean compared to what Butterfly group would beco in the future. Leo didn't want to revive Cardinal Group, but he wanted to rebrand it, the sa old integrity wrapped in a new foil.

They reached ho, Jock and another guard helped him unload the stuff from the back of the car. Leo went inside the house to check what the Mother and Daughter duo were doing.

He found Lily playing the piano with Momo resting on the hood of the instrunt, and Snow was working in the kitchen seemingly cleaning up after the dinner prep.

He sighed and said, "I didn't think it would take that long. You are already done cooking the food."

Snow smiled and replied, "I have longer experience of working in the kitchen than you."

Leo smiled and nodded, the system didn't make him a know-it-all. To beco better he had to practice and gradually he would grow stronger.

He said, "While Lily is playing the music, I will go out to set things up."

The young man ca to the backyard, and used an inflator pump to fill the mattress with air, before setting it up on the ground. He then covered the mattresses with the sheet and went back in to grab a few cushions, before finally lighting up the lanterns and set them up around the garden to illuminate the place a bit.

Snow ca out and smiled after watching the set-up. Then she said, "Co in, let us eat first."

Leo nodded and then he moved inside the house with her. The dinner didn't last long, and then they brought Lily out. The little girl opened her mouth wide, and she cheered, "Yay!! So, pretty!! Baba, I love it."

Snow smiled and said, "Then thank Baba, he worked hard to set this up."

Lily hugged Leo's leg and said, "Thank you, Baba. I love you."

Leo smiled and patted her head gently before they sat down on the mattresses and lay down on their backs to watch the stars. Lily asked Leo, "Baba, why are they all big and small?"

Leo replied, "The distance. It is just like how so buildings close to us look bigger, while the ones farther look small. The stars that look bigger are closer than the smaller ones."

Lily thought for a bit and remarked, "They must be very far to look so small."

Leo nodded, and then he began to show her the constellations. The little girl found it very fascinating how stars connected to each other and ford shapes.

Gradually while watching stars, Lily fell asleep, and Leo went inside to bring over so quilts to cover her up. The wind at night was slightly colder, and he didn't want the girl to catch a cold. Snow complained and said, "Well, who is getting a blanket?"

The young man chuckled and picked up the wine bottle from the side, and two glasses. He said, "I won't get you a quilt, but have so wine."

The two of them had drinks, and chatted in a soft voice, about the things they have been doing lately and the topics switched from one to another, suddenly, Snow asked, "What do you think is going on to happen with Vincent?"

Leo replied, "What he is destined to suffer, what else?"

Snow shook her head and replied, "I was thinking if you would handle it on your own."

Leo denied shaking the head and replied, "No, I am not a demon. He will suffer humility and also the right punishnt that he deserves."

The night moved on slowly as the couple sat there watching the sky filled with stars. A notification sounded in his mind, 'Ping: Host, the comrcial space travel box has been rewarded to you, claim it when you wish.'
