She Belongs To The Devil

Chapter 548: Jealous Dad

"Damien, why don't you take Ariel to your room and play there?" Lilith asked her son who was still in Theodore's arm.

"Okay," Damien gave a nod and tried to get down from Theodore's hold.

However, Theodore didn't free that kid. And he instead asked Lilith, "Actually, I wanted to see them play. I never get to do it while I am on Earth because I am always busy in the workroom."

He glanced at his daughter and said, "So, at least while I am here, I was thinking of spending my time by watching her."

Lilith didn't think much of it. She shrugged her shoulders and agreed, "Sure. Then let's go to the living room."

She immediately started walking. And she asked Theodore in a polite voice, "It must be hard to look after a Kingdom, the gambling house, and still make time for your daughter. I don't know how you manage all that."

Theodore gave a mirthless smile and agreed, "Yes, it is a bit hard to manage the time. But Adeline is the one who is busier than me. I don't know how she manages to still look happy by the end of the day."

Ariel raised her hand and shouted, "I know. Mom said she feels happy when I kiss her. So I kiss her every day."

"Aww… that's so sweet," Lilith couldn't help but melt at that cute voice and that quirkiness of Ariel.

Theodore pecked on his daughter's head and praised his daughter, "Ariel is good at making momma's sadness go away, isn't she?"

"Mm," Ariel proudly nodded her head.

Lilith then looked at her son and said, "Damien, you should learn from your friend. Why don't you ever give me a kiss?"

"Why would I..." Damien averted his gaze from his mother and then murmured, "Ask me when you feel sad."

Lilith opened the door to the huge living room and gestured for Theodore to enter.

Theodore put the kids down on the floor and looked around the room.

While Lilith bent down to her son's level and said in a sad voice, "Well, I am sad right now. I am sad that my son doesn't kiss me anymore."

"Mother!" Damien looked down, embarrassed.

Ariel was observing the mother and son. And she trotted closer to Damien and whispered, "Give your momma a kiss. Her sadness will fly away."

Lilith turned her mischievous gaze towards Ariel. She was already scheming something in her head. She was scheming to get that cutie to give her a kiss.

She moved her cheek close to Ariel's mouth and asked, "Why don't you show Damien how to make my sadness go away?"

Ariel instantly fell victim to Lilith's scheme. She glanced at Damien and asked, "Damien, look here."

After instructing her friend and getting his attention, she lifted herself on her toes because Lilith's cheek was still a little further from her reach. She rested her tiny palm on Lilith's chin. And then she gave a peck on Lilith's cheek.

A wide smile automatically appeared on Lilith's face after getting a kiss from Ariel. She immediately turned her other cheek and asked, "I don't think Damien caught that properly. Why don't you show him one more time?"

"Mother! I know how to kiss!" Damien's cheeks had already turned red because of how his mother was behaving.

"Shhh…" Lilith shushed her son and moved her cheek closer to Ariel.

Theodore chuckled and shook his head.

Ariel pecked on Lilith's cheek again and asked with a concerned look on her face, "Did your sad go away?"

"Yes," Lilith gave a smile to Ariel. And she couldn't resist biting Ariel's baby cheek.

Theodore scoffed and teased Lilith, "What's gotten into you, Lilith? You're not planning to steal my daughter, are you?"

"Can I? That's a great idea!" Lilith looked even more excited. She picked Ariel up in her arms. And she glanced at Theodore and asked cheekily, "Why don't you leave her here? I will take care of her like my own daughter."

Lilith was known to be like this every time she saw a child, especially a human child. There were even rumors going around in hell that she would steal children and would raise them as if she was their mother.

Theodore didn't know how much of it was true. But he could see that she was kind of showing signs of obsession with his daughter. He had thought that Lilith wouldn't behave this way with other's children now that she had her own. But he could see how wrong he was.

"Oh, yeah? You will take care of her, huh?" Theodore gave a glare to Lilith and in a blink of an eye, he was already holding Damien in his arms.

And he asked a bit seriously, "Will you also give your son to someone else if they say that they will take good care of him? Shall I give him to someone?"

The two kids looked at each other, almost wishing that the adults would just leave them alone.

Lilith burst into laughter after seeing how seriously Theodore was speaking. She put Ariel down and walked towards the sofa while saying, "Oh, Theodore! I had kind of guessed that you were a jealous type. But I didn't know you could be a jealous father as well."

"Can't I even get a few hugs and kisses from your daughter?" She sat down and chuckled again.

Theodore also let Damien off of his hold and walked towards Lilith.

And Lilith mocked him even further, "You shouldn't be so jealous, Theodore. And you should definitely know how to take a joke! Why would I want to separate your daughter from you? Are you stupid or are you stupid?"

Theodore adjusted his collar and cleared his throat. And then he tried to deny that it wasn't how he felt a while ago. "Why would I be jealous? Ahahaha… haha… ah… I was just playing along to… to tease the kids."

"Yeah, yeah, I believe you," Lilith said in a pretentious tone and smirked.

The two of them then watched the kids.

Ariel had already emptied her bag. And Damien was helping her to line up all the stuffed toys, including Mr. Mouse.
