The Leader Of The Last Adventure
08. The past 8

"Yes, Vanka is sleeping?" edward said gently as he stroked Aileen's silver mane affectionately and occasionally kissed her daughter's head.

His companions who saw it stared at Edward's horror. At first they could not believe the news on social media.

But after seeing with his own eyes, now they believed one hundred percent.

Aileen leaned her head against the chest and began to close her eyes.

A gentle breeze blew Aileen's silver mane gently, making the owner feel comfortable and at ease.

After feeling his son asleep, Edward then tightened his embrace on Aileen's waist so that there was no distance between the two of them.

Edward rested his chin on Aileen's head. He would occasionally kiss Aileen's head.

He felt like he had failed at being a father. By killing the family who had taken care of the girl who was now his daughter.

Although he does not have Aileen's foster letter, but he can make it later.

She fears that one day, Aileen will leave herself alone, after finding out who killed her family who had been looking after and caring for her since infancy.

Edward was very afraid of it. So he had decided that he would close this secret tightly, so that Aileen would not know.

He will also tighten Aileen's guard so she won't run away later.

"Ed, is he your real son?" ask one of his friends carefully for fear of offending Edward

"Not" replied Edward briefly

"Then?" ask another one

"My adopted son" he replied again

Everyone was shocked by Edward's explanation. Because if not a biological child, then how are their characteristics so exact?.

That's what they're thinking. Edward looked at them.

"Then, did your parents know about this?" ask the man wearing the glasses. His name is William Jark.

Edward only replied with a brief skirt. Nor did he know that his parents knew about this, nor did he care if his parents knew about this.

Whatever happens, he won't let go of his little daughter. Because of his daughter, he could still have a purpose to live. And the goal is to look after, protect, care for, and be a good parent to her daughter.

For years he lived in nothingness. But with the arrival of Aileen, her life slowly began to change.

Silence swept them all. Until one of them opened his voice.

"Hm" muttered Edward who answered them

The six of them finally left. Leaving a father and son in that place.

All that was heard was the sound of the girl's slow breathing soundly falling asleep. The father could only look at his daughter who was asleep peacefully.

"Darling, daddy loves you so much. Don't leave daddy alone huh, daddy can't live without you" Edward whispered in Aileen's ear quietly

Although he knew that his son was asleep, but he just wanted to express what he felt.

It's been an hour since Aileen fell asleep. Finally he woke up, and the first thing he felt was that his head was a little heavy.

As he slightly raised his head, all he saw was someone's neck. He knows whose neck it is. Who else if not his father.

"Daddy" call Aileen in a soft voice

" Ah, you're awake apparently. Come on in" take Edward

"alright. But daddy, Vanka walk alone ya~" whined Aileen

"Yes yes. All right" Edward smiled

Edward took Aileen down from his lap. He held Aileen's small hand and they walked in together.

They walk while chatting. In the middle, Aileen said that she wanted a gaming room.

After getting permission from Edward he just went to start the game. Hacking a few sites was not a bad thing, that was what Aileen thought.

Edward had also made a room next to his. And the room was designed (sorry if one spelling) according to the request of Aileen.

His room was dominated by black, white, and blood red. And also walk in closet they are also connected and only blocked a door.

Aileen loves black and white. Even the color of the room in his old house was black and white.

Aileen's room also has a secret gaming room. And the only ones who knew it were Edward, Aileen, and the artisans.

Back to story

Edward also went to his study next to the gaming room which is now Aileen's territory.
