Chapter 784? Responsibilities for husband and father
For the sake of their own families and the inheritance of their own bloodline, they will hide their edges and corners, and would rather hurt themselves than hurt each other.
In terms of family, Sophia Liya's contribution is far greater than Sean's.
In the past five years, she has only returned to the princess fief twice. For many lords, this is a common thing, but for a person with a strong sense of responsibility, this is extremely irresponsible.
In the past five years, my main energy has been devoted to little Annie.
Little Annie's intelligence, precocity, and sensibleness are not simply due to her good genetics, which at best gave her a higher starting point than ordinary people, but more to the acquired words and deeds.
Sean sees these things in his eyes and remembers them in his heart.
If it weren't for Sophia Liya's strict discipline, this girl with her own skin-monkey attributes would definitely turn the Northern Fortress upside down without even daring to poke a hole in the sky.
Yan's mother also enjoys the warmth and benefits brought by family affection, right?
It is impossible to expect Sophilia to change on her own initiative. She can only step in as a loving father to mediate things and reconcile the atmosphere.
Every small family has its own way of getting along.
A loving father, a strict mother, a daughter who makes people feel troubled when she is naughty, but makes people feel distressed when she is well-behaved.
This is the way Sean's family gets along, and Sean enjoys it.
"Mom..." Little Anne timidly handed Sophia a piece of smoked salmon.
Sean cast an encouraging look at Sophia Liya.
"You are so old, and you still play such a childish game." Sophia Liya mumbled reluctantly, but she involuntarily leaned forward and bit the fish meat on Little Annie's knife and fork. In the process, the corners of her eyes
I can't help but stir it up and won't let go for a long time.
What you eat in your mouth is not just a piece of fish, but also this heart-warming warmth. Compared to the latter, the taste of the ingredients itself is irrelevant.
Even a burnt meal will become extremely delicious.
Not only Sophia Liya was secretly happy, but little Annie was also beaming, her fear was gone. She enthusiastically cut a piece of beef and handed it to Sophia Liya, "Hey, now, now...Mom, open your mouth and have a taste."
This, try this..."
Don't think that children can't observe words and emotions. In many ways, they are more sensitive than adults.
Although little Annie can't read Sophilia's micro-expressions, she can feel some of her mother's emotional changes.
In those families with strict upbringing, the children usually seem to be closer to the kind person.
But in their hearts, they are more eager to be recognized by the stern person. If the stern person shows a little kindness, it will make them feel more precious, naturally cherish them more, and don't want to let them go.
This is the case with little Annie and Sophia.
As soon as Sophia Liya took the beef, little Annie immediately thoughtfully handed over a small spoonful of thick soup, blew a few breaths into the thick soup awkwardly, and thoughtfully said, "Mom, be careful of scalding."
After that, little Annie was completely immersed in this new family game. She only focused on feeding her mother, completely neglecting her father, and she even forgot to eat.
Fortunately, there was a wise father next to him. He chopped up his own food, fed it to his daughter, and then opened his mouth at Sophia Liya with a wink.
Sophia Liya glared at Sean fiercely, signaling him not to push further.
But he couldn't stand it. Sean's face was thicker than the city wall, and he looked like he would never give up until he achieved his goal.
In the end, Sophia Liya gave in, cut a piece of food a little awkwardly, and handed it to Sean.
The family of three has formed a perfect circle, and they all have their own food to eat.
This meal lasted for more than an hour, completely breaking the time plan Sophia Liya had set for little Annie.
But considering that this meal was a meal that made everyone feel full and full, Sophia Liya was not willing to interrupt it, and she had no way to hold her accountable afterwards.
"Annie, can I leave today's dessert to you?" Sophia asked little Anne for advice.
Although there are a large number of servants at home, there are some things that Sophia Liya does not allow servants to do for her, especially during this rare family dinner, some things must be done by herself.
This can also be regarded as part of the education for little Annie.
"Okay, okay, okay." Little Annie immediately jumped down from the small seat and ran out in a hurry.
The little guy's obsession with desserts is far beyond that of most children.
Let alone asking her to get desserts, Sophia Liya would not even let her get close to the kitchen alone. Who knows what she would take the opportunity to secretly stuff into her little mouth.
Little Annie's special rune-cultured physique made her lose the normal sense of hunger and fullness, because her metabolic rate is closely related to how much she eats.
When you eat to full, you won’t feel bloated like ordinary people, but instead your body’s secretions in all aspects will be accelerated, speeding up your metabolism.
This metabolic rate is not an increase of one or two times, but an increase of hundreds or thousands of times, with all aspects of the index completely exceeding that of ordinary people.
This is definitely a superhuman ability.
The ultra-fast metabolism means that as long as you have enough food, you will have extraordinary physical recovery power.
Any ability comes with a price, and the same goes for super-fast metabolism.
It is a huge burden even for adults, let alone little Annie who has not yet fully grown up.
The most important thing is that little Annie's mind is not fully mature and her self-control ability is very poor.
If left unchecked, overeating without restraint will seriously damage the body.
"Remember to wash your hands first and don't eat secretly." Sophia Liya warned from behind.
"I know." Little Annie ran away quickly.
As for whether I really heard it or pretended to hear it, it's hard to say.
You may even pretend not to hear, this kind of pettiness has been practiced for a long time.
After watching little Annie leave, Sophia Liya turned to ask Sean: "What happened? Why are you so abnormal in the past few days?"
Sean pretended to be stupid and said, "What happened? Why is it abnormal? Don't I take time to cook you a love lunch every week? I just have a lot of free time recently. I just made a few more meals for you."
"Have you been free recently? Do you think I know nothing about the outside world? There is an undead empire approaching from the north, and the entire northern defense line is in preparation.
The Commons family pirates in the East China Sea have not yet been completely eliminated. I heard that they have discovered the New World and are preparing to unite with the aboriginal people of the New World to make a comeback.
The Theodin Empire once again knocked on the door of the Blood Castle. This time it was in a desperate situation and came with the intention of death.
Under the instigation of the Holy See, that idiot Laurie completely broke up with the secret society of witches, and a full-scale war may break out at any time.
I believe that all trade transactions of our military leaders in the alliance have been severely impacted.
In this case, you tell me that you are very free?"
Sophia Liya looked like you were fooling a fool.
"The Empire of the Undead had only sent an advance army before, and they were not ready for a full-scale war. Even if they pressed the enemy with a large number of troops, it would be a bluff.
As for the remnants of the East China Sea Kingdom, it is true that they discovered the New World, but it is not that easy to unite the indigenous people to make a comeback.
According to their piracy style, they are more likely to have violent conflicts with the aborigines of the New World and compete for dominance in the New World.
The war within the alliance has indeed dealt a fatal blow to many trades in the territory.
If it were three years ago, this situation would indeed have a great impact on the territory, but now, the territory has long since got rid of the single layout, and the impact is not as big as imagined."
Sean smiled and defended, "I'm going to take some time to accompany you mother and daughter. Annie hasn't left the Northern Fortress since she was born. It's time to take her out for a walk, take a look, and take a look at us.
Take a look at the territory we built with our own hands and the soldiers and civilians we protect."
Sophia Liya looked at Sean up and down with a suspicious look on her face, "You are so sentimental, this is not like you usually do. There must be something you are hiding from me. Your reason is not enough to convince me. Before you convince me, little Annie is everywhere.
Can’t go.”
"A woman who is too smart and serious is not cute at all, especially when that woman is his wife." Sean secretly slandered a sentence in his heart, and said half-truth: "The reason you just said, the entire continent
We are all shrouded in the haze of war, and it is an unprecedented war. Once it ignites, we don’t know when it will stop. No matter who wins or loses, it will have a fundamental impact on our current lives.
As the ruler of this territory, we have the obligation to tell the people what is about to happen, and at the same time let them have confidence in us.
We also need to leave a good memory for little Annie and let her remember how beautiful this land once was. This is our obligation as parents and the only thing we can do."
The reason is indeed this, but the most fundamental reason for this reason, Sean did not tell the truth.
Even if you talk about it, it won't solve anything and will only increase a person's worries and troubles.
Before that, let me bear this burden for the time being. This is the responsibility of a husband and a father.
"If you had said this earlier, would I still be suspicious?" Sophia Liya glared angrily, "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you on this matter."
"Dad, Mom... I'm back." Little Annie ran back quickly, holding a dessert plate and swinging her short legs.
Compared to when she went there, there was a ghostly, looming figure behind her.
"I didn't eat it secretly. I only ate my own share. It was Barton who ate it secretly." As soon as Little Annie came in, she immediately complained. Lao Gao, who had a little pout, treated his best playmate.
I was very dissatisfied with the behavior of eating secretly without leaving a piece for myself.
"Button didn't eat it secretly. I cooked the meal for four people, including dessert. He is also our family, isn't he, old man." Sean said while reaching out and scratching the air.
A comfortable purring sound came out of thin air.
A prone, dark creature the size of an adult horse appeared next to Sean.
It is Barton in the form of a young shadow black dragon, who just came in with little Annie.
Although it now has the body of a dragon, many of its behavioral habits are still those of a dog.
It is still his favorite thing to have someone close to him tickle his chin.
Little Annie was very naughty and sent the dessert plate to Sophia Liya first, "Mom, yours is strawberry ice cream with cream. I just finished my share. It's good, it's good, but it's
Delicious.”
As he spoke, he looked at Sophilia with his big watery eyes. She looked like a little animal on the roadside praying for food.
It is hoped that the holder of the food will be merciful and give her a small bite.
The little guy is not yet two years old, but he has grown a lot.
Put your own portion into your belly in advance, and then you can openly think about other people's portion.
It is absolutely impossible to eat alone, at least not in front of his mother Sophia.
But asking for it based on one's own ability is another matter.
Sophia Liya's many severe punishments taught little Annie this truth early on.
It's just that her pity and cuteness offensive has no effect on the hard-hearted mother.
Sophia picked up her portion and tasted it with great grace, completely ignoring little Annie's gaze.
It even meant to punish her - to punish her for playing tricks.
It was deliberately slow and looked extremely delicious, and the greedy little Annie's saliva almost flowed out.
This is one of Sophia Liya's core educational concepts. Children should not be overindulged and must distinguish between what is theirs and what is not.
In a special family like theirs, this is especially important.
Little Annie, who failed to beg for food at her mother's place, was not discouraged and immediately adjusted her combat goals and prepared to attack her father Sean.
Compared to his hard-hearted mother, his father was even more unable to resist his cuteness.
Holding the big dessert plate in front of his chest, his round, watery eyes widened to their maximum size, looking at Sean unblinkingly, with a pitiful expression of "Give me a bite, give me a bite, I only want one bite"
.
This is definitely a must-kill move for a macho man.
Sean felt that his heart was about to melt, and he almost handed his share of dessert to little Annie.
There was a low snort from the side, reminding Sean to exercise caution and remember the virtues of his daughter.
Sean's hand that he just stretched out immediately retracted it. Little Annie was so nervous that if she tasted the sweetness this time, she would definitely do it next time.
Sean carefully cut a small piece from his portion.
While handing it to little Annie, he said: "This is not given to you for free, but as a reward for you to get the dessert just now."
The little guy was a little greedy, but she was easily satisfied. She held the piece that Sean gave her, her little face was full of satisfied surprise, and she stretched out her pink little tongue and licked it bit by bit.
She no longer dared to gobble it up like she did before, because she knew that once she finished eating it this time, she would finish it, and no one would share it with her again.
