Chapter 258: Leveling Up?
Hearing Li Wei's promise, Evelyn finally let her anxious heart down.
"Then I will wait for Daddy to bring mommy back," she replied with an obedient expression.
Watching her like this, Li Wei smiled gently and ruffled her hair.
"Don't worry Evelyn, once the time is right you will know everything," he said seriously.
"Un, Okay daddy," Evelyn replied with a nod as she enjoyed the head pats from him.
Meanwhile, Li Xin and others became relieved that he lied to her because they didn't want Evelyn to become sad.
They didn't know about her parents but could guess that something had happened and because of it, the gods had no choice but to change her memories while handing her care to Li Wei.
It would be quite hard to hide the lie when she grows up; hence, they were worried Li Wei would tell the truth.
However, their worries were useless since Li Wei also didn't want Evelyn to be sad.
Even though it had been only a few hours he had been with her, he quite liked and felt close to her since she called him Daddy.
It was just he was considering whether she would hate him or not if she found out the truth, hence why he hesitated a little.
'Evelyn, don't blame Daddy for lying about this,' he muttered in his heart with a sigh as he imagined the little girl hating him for this.
Just as he was busy in his thoughts, Li Xin and others started to tell stories to Evelyn again while not forgetting to tease her.
This made Evelyn sulk at them, but she didn't have any choice since this was the price she needed to pay for stories.
Li Wei couldn't help but chuckle at this before informing Aunty Eliza about Emily's stay at his villa.
There was still a lot of time before going to bed; however, with the stories and laughter, the time passed in the blink of an eye, and soon everybody went back to their rooms.
Even though they were reluctant, they didn't pester or create trouble since Evelyn was sleepy.
Li Xin too didn't tease her anymore and returned to the main room with her, Li Wei, Li Yin, and Emily.
After that, Li Xin and Li Yin went to take a bath, leaving Emily and Evelyn in Li Wei's care.
"Bad brother, thanks for informing my mom," Emily said with a smile as she hugged him.
"Little girl, it's only for today, so don't be too happy. Also, why are you hugging Evelyn too?" he inquired with a glare as her small arms were wrapped around him and Evelyn's waist.
"Hehe, it isn't my fault bad brother. Evelyn is in your arms, so to hug you, I also have to hug her," she replied with a smile.
Hearing her, Li Wei was speechless and decided to ignore her. He then glanced at Evelyn, who was yawing on his chest.
"Evelyn, do you like it here?" he inquired softly.
"Un, I like it, but it would've been better if Aunty Sophia was here too," Evelyn replied with a sad look.
"Don't worry, she has some important things to do, so she left for a while," Li Wei assured her and started to chat with both until Li Xin and Li Yin were done with the bath.
Evelyn knew how to do basic things, so taking a bath alone wasn't a problem for her; hence, she got refreshed before lying in Li Xin's arms.
After her, Emily and Li Wei also didn't delay and got refreshed one by one.
Today everyone was tired from shopping and playing with Evelyn; hence, no one chatted too much and went to sleep.
Li Wei was a little disappointed since he wanted to see Li Xin cosplaying in school and police uniform.
But with these two little girls around, his wishes remained unfulfilled.
Nevertheless, he didn't care too much and closed his eyes to sleep.
…
Next morning everyone woke up early and had breakfast before playing with Evelyn again.
Of course, they weren't just playing but also dressing her up since they had asked Nancy to bring all kinds of outfits for her directly to the villa.
Now everyone was busy with this except Li Wei, Olivia, and Elva, who gathered in his room with a faint blush.
"It is about leveling you up, right?" Li Wei inquired as he guessed their purpose.
Hearing him, both Elva and Olivia nodded.
"Brother Li, it's about leveling up us," Elva confirmed and continued.
"With Evelyn around, I don't think we should do such things in front of her; hence, we decided to level up one by one in secret from now on."
"This will be a little troublesome since the timing can vary and you might even have to visit our rooms secretly," she explained with a crimson face.
Hearing her, Li Wei was dumbfounded because he had thought Lily and Li Xin explained the current situation with experience transfer skills, so they came to talk about it.
However, it didn't seem like they knew about it and even formed a plan to level up secretly like this.
'This, how should I explain to them?' he thought with a frown.
As a man, he didn't care about such things, but they were all girls and had to consider their privacy.
They can choose not to level up; however, this will make them fall behind, and this wasn't a good thing for them and the party.
Elva and Olivia didn't know this and thought he was unwilling to level them up alone since it was a little inappropriate.
"Brother Li, if you want, we can also pair up together to level up; this will make it easier for you," Elva suggested after watching him not say anything.
Hearing her, Li Wei guessed what she was thinking and shook his head with a sigh.
"It's not what you think, Elva. It's just the situation is a bit different this time," he replied and started explaining about the Chaos server update and its side effects, making both Elva and Olivia stunned.
