Leo woke up early in the morning and took up his pen and a rough note book, as he revised the ten family laws ten times. He had not been participating in writing for a long time, and he felt his skills have diminished a little. Thinking about it, the young man sighed and replied, "Damn, Snow knew it would be hard for me. She is so cunning."While he was writing, Lily also walked out with her own notebook and pencil. The two of them shared a look and smiled like naughty children in school used to. They went on about their punishments obediently. Anastasia came down with the twins following her, and she shook her head. Last night Snow had appointed her to be the invigilator, and after cup of tea, she sighed and asked, "How many more repetitions do you have left?"
Leo replied, "I have two left."
Lily replied, "Grandma I have three left."
The old lady nodded and watched them working diligently. Elle walked over with a box of blocks in her hands. She placed it on the table and said, "Nana, build home."
Anastasia smiled and then she opened the box for Elena, who smiled as she took out one after the other and giggled as if she found the toy of the century. Julian came over with a box of blocks as well. Leo looked at them and said while writing it down, "I have no idea, how these two love blocks so much and more than that, look how they make those smiley faces."
Anastasia chuckled and said, "You want to play with them? Build something nice."
Leo had yet to reply when Elle brought over a block to Leo and said, "Baba, build."
Leo looked at her, his hand didn't stop until he finished writing the last sentence and then he said, "Fine, come let us build a small house."
Elle giggled and jumped a little as she got all excited. Leo handed the notebook to Anastasia as he sat down on the side, to help Elle build a house with the blocks. The process was simple but the children loved it whenever they managed to put a block together. Leo thought about it and he thought about it for a bit before he said, "I wonder if adults would also like to play with blocks, this is fun, but it lacks something."
Lily had just finished her own punishment and was playing with Julian as she said, "Baba, this lacks some advanced information that the adults find stimulating. For example, they all discuss the stuff they watch in science fiction movies a lot. Like how a spaceship managed to move through space, or how a car is so fast that it produces so much power, etc. Those would be good additions to the blocks."
Leo nodded, he turned to look at his daughter and found that her business acumen was still on point and it was improving on its own, she could now see what the market lacked in particular products. He smiled and said, "I shall pass on the details of this suggestion to Cherry, she will handle the project. Also, did we have those few companies under your name?"
Lily asked, "The candy trinity?"
Leo rolled his eyes and nodded, and said, "How about you expand them into a toy company too? Have them create the block toys."
The little lady thought for a bit and said, "Fine, I will come up with a business plan and show it to you for a review."
Leo smiled and replied, "Alright young miss, I shall await the proposal and see to it."
Lily nodded and replied, "Yes."
Anastasia shook her head with amusement, she said, "Leo, I have to go out for the day, you can watch over them, right?"
Leo gave her a thumbs up and said, "It's okay, bring someone along with you for safety."
Anastasia raised her brow and asked, "Is something up?"
Leo shook his head and replied, "Although the matter of the reporters have been concluded, I am not very trustful of the normal populace and the brain-dead fans, people have been making a mess on the internet. Just to be safe, bring someone along."
The lady nodded, she knew that Leo was speaking for her good, and it never hurt to be safe than sorry. After breakfast, the lady walked out of the house, while Leo spent his time tending to his children. He told them stories, played piano with them, baked cookies with Lily and Elena and Julian played the part of their cheerleaders. The twins were sitting on the kitchen counter, but they were very obedient, and didn't move around much.
Lily was there to watch them, and Leo did all the heavy labor on the other side of the kitchen. In the end, Lily only came over to add garnish of chocolate chips to the cookies, and Leo brought the twins over to do the same as well. However, looking at the symmetrical cookies, Elle thought, 'Boring.'
Then she reached out and stamped her hand directly into the cookie and made it a masterpiece. Leo was surprised, Lily chuckled and then the trio stamped their hands directly into the cookies, causing them to look out of shape. Leo sighed and said, "You naughty trio, your hands were not washed, and now we have to eat dirty cookies."
Lily giggled and the other two followed. Leo pinched Elena's cheeks gently and said, "You little one, you are the crux of all the naughty ideas. I was thinking that it was Lily but you are no less of a troublemaker. Come, we need to clean your hands."
Then he took her to the side, and then he placed the trays inside the over, and led the trio outside the kitchen. Snow called them at this moment, and she asked, "What have you guys been doing?"
Leo reported, "The punishment has been completed, and then we baked some cookies. However, these three, stamped their hands in the cookies before we could put them in the oven, and when I asked, why did they do it, Elle called the perfectly circular cookies as boring. Imagine, the youngest one is the biggest trouble maker among these three."
Snow chuckled and then she sighed, "I wish I could be there, but these meetings with foreign delegations and continuous trade deals with the people is annoying, it is taking a lot of energy and time. I have begun to lose hair, can you imagine? I wonder if by the time my tenure is over, I would end up bald."
Leo shook his head and replied, "I will come over in the night, and I will give you a hot oil massage, then you can wash them in the morning, also from now on, you are moving to my meal plan. Take balanced diet."
Snow had taken the genetic enhancement serum so she should not be having hair fall, but it was an exaggeration on her side. However, it was stressful, gene enhancement didn't make a difference on how the human perceives stress. The call continued for a bit before Leo gave it to Lily and the twins. The children all showed Snow a few things they have been doing, meanwhile Leo went out to take out the first batch of cookies from the oven and then placed the second one inside.
When he came back the trio was playing by themselves, and Lily asked, "Baba, see, I found the old chariot you build for me."
Leo looked at a small chariot that he made for Lily with air dry clay. He could tell that the twins were very interested in it, and the system said, "Host, the twins also want a ceramic toy like the chariot. Reward: Cold Fusion Nuclear Reactor solution, directly handed over to Utopia Research Centre."
Leo smiled, he then moved forward and said, "How about we make them a pair of Daisy charms as well. It would look cute, no?"
Lily nodded and replied, "I will color them."
Leo smiled and patted her head as he asked her to bring the supplies from the project room. Lily was quick on her feet; she moved quickly and then found the supplies that Leo had asked for. Then the two of them began to work the clay, and Leo quickly made Daisy charms for the twins, he also made them a couple of small chibi style cats, and one for Lily as well. They spent a couple of hours to make a dozen or so articles. All of them were big enough to be used by the twins. He made them in a bigger size to make sure that they don't swallow it, and since the clay was air dry, it hardened soon, Lily used fine pen to paint them and Leo skilfully placed the charms on the twins.
Lily also got herself some gifts and she smiled, all in all, the parents and children spent a happy and leisurely Sunday.
