Finley's head throbbed when his dad glared at him like that. He knew that a long a*s lecture was going to unfold.
Finley was about to answer, but then his father got Impatient. Grabbing the boy's wrist, Evan tugged his son toward him.
"Fin! Answer me!" The hot daddy's ruby eyes reddened, almost becoming like a devil from hell. Finley couldn't help but shudder, and his innocent face turned grave.
"Calm down, dad! It's not like I'm bewitched or something!" Finley shook his dad's grip on his wrist and hurriedly backed off, creating a distance from his dad.
Although they're still sitting on the same couch…
Sensing his grip didn't touch anything, Evan looked down at his palms and squinted.
"...Fin. Explain." The man didn't look at Finley anymore and just clenched his fists tightly. However, the chilly aura around him worsened, scaring even Percival, his contracted fairy.
"Okay, okay, it's just a misunderstanding, get it?" Finley had no choice but to tell his father. Actually...his dad already knew about Ainsley, but he didn't pay attention to that baby, thinking that she's just his son's new friend or something.
When Finley told his dad that he wants to go to the casino to protect the baby in secret, only then Evan's face changed.
The always cold-looking father revealed a trace of shock and disbelief for the first time.
"You...why are you doing so much for a mere friend? She's also from a lower-class family, right?" Evan was dumbfounded. He looked at his son and pinched the boy's cheek to make sure this isn't a dream.
How could his son, who never made any female friend, suddenly got one and even went as far as doing these?
Are you sure she's just a friend?
"A mere friend?" Finley immediately displayed his displeasure as the boy harrumphed. "Ain is my best friend, dad! She's amazing and unique! You will like her if you see her too…"
"Ah, the girl that Chronos told me? Is it that girl?" Percival, who was listening at the side, suddenly interrupted. He looked at Finley with a slight interest in his eyes.
"Uh yeah, Perry. She's the one." Finley looked at the tiny Percival and subconsciously answered.
"The 3-years-old toddler who already awakened four abilities, and one of them is even a high-ranked ability?" Percival asked once more. This time, his violet eyes twinkled brightly.
The poor daddy who was tossed to the side watched these two people's interaction with wide eyes.
What? What's going on? A three years old baby awakened four abilities? One of them is a high-ranked ability?
"Uhuh." Finley answered Percival with a nod, but his answer indirectly responded to his dad's inner questions.
"Her shaman ability is undoubtedly top-ranked. The spirit she's contracted with is also super formidable!" Finley wasn't stingy to praise Ainsley to the moon, especially in front of Percival.
Well, he had the intention to brag about Ainsley to his dad too, but he would never admit that even if he died.
"Ain also has a baby charm ability. It's super strong, and the ability range is wide! I almost can't believe that she's only 3…"
Finley let out a dramatic sigh as he peeked at his dad, who already turned into a statue.
"F-fin. There's such a baby?" Evan stuttered while turning his body around. The handsome daddy looked at Finley with his mouth open.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course, I am! That baby is also the new Sloan family head that you told me to meet, dad." Finley grinned from ear to ear as he secretly chuckled inside.
"Remember, that, right?"
"The new...Sloan Family head…?"
It was as if another thunderbolt struck the poor father. Evan's body swayed, and his face turned pale as fast as turning one's hand.
"The new Sloan Family head...isn't an adult? It's a baby?" Evan murmured. His eyes showed strong disbelief in his son's words.
He had long known that the Sloan Family, that mid-rank family changed their family head, and their situation was worsening until their family fell to the low-class family rank.
But he still sent his son to congratulate whoever became the Sloan Family's new family head because in the past, the Sloan Family was on par with the 7 great families.
And he had quite a good relationship with the 16'th family head, Ainsley's grandpa, who already passed away due to illness.
He knew that the 17'th family head, Ainsley's father, was a dunce and finally ran away from his family. That's why he thought that the family would appoint a new family head from the branch families or something…
However, never in his wildest dream, he would think that the new family head wasn't from the branch families but that old man's granddaughter instead!
Are those Sloan family's elders crazy or what?! That baby is only 3!
Evan's face became stern once more, and he looked at Finley with a slight worry hidden deep inside his ruby eyes.
"So...that baby...uh...Ainsley? How is she? You said that she awakened four abilities…" Evan didn't realise that his voice already softened when he mentioned Ainsley.
After all, he would only be strict with his own families. To other babies...he could show mercy as long as they're not his enemy.
Seeing his dad change as fast as blinking, Finley sucked in the cold air.
I know it. I know that you want to have a daughter and not a son, right?!
Finley already tossed whatever Evan asked him at the moment. His focus was on Evan's subtle change.
This...no wonder I often saw female baby's necessities around the room near dad's bedroom….
So it's for this reason! Dad wants a daughter instead of a son!
