Inside Manchester Villa,
"I heard That ' child' is coming today ? "
"Yes, I heard master Leonard is bringing her."
"What do you think, lily? How family is going to react to it?"
"Who knows Anna? I heard no one is really welcoming her."
"That is only natural, Lisa."
Servants were gossiping while doing their chores.
"I heard her mother is quite vicious woman. She tried to seduce her best friend's husband and not only that, she also used cheap tricks to give birth to his child."
"Yeah !!"
"Yeah, I wonder how that new child will be?"
"Of course, same as her mother. No doubt in it."
"yes!"
"Exactly!"
"And you know....and also yesterday...... "
"....".
There voice of gossiping faded slowly from corridor after they walked from that places.
"What do you think, Derek?"
The kid with black hairs and blacks eyes about 6 yrs old said with gentle smile on his face.
"What is there to think about, Henry ? We are going to give a grand Welcome to That kid. Don't you think so too? Rowan"
The kid named Derek who appeared to be kid named Henry's twin with same age, dress and face said with a playful smile.
"Y..yes, Derek." The most timid of the group of three kid called as Luca said hesitantly.
'I think they definitely are not planning for the grand Welcome party. I should definitely inform father.' Luca thought to himself self-assuringly.
"Luca, what are you thinking about?? Don't be nervous. We really are going to welcome her. Isn't it Henry?"
Derek signaled Henry with eyes slightly without letting Luca notice and Henry immediately played along his brother's act.
"yeah, Luca. Don't be a scaredy cat. Look, we will just enjoy okay? trust us." Henry tried to appease to Luca in extremely gentle and pitiful tone.
"Really??"Luca looked at them expectantly, completely believing in them.
Both twins looked at each other with satisfaction in each's eyes.
"Of course, she is our sister at last. So, don't tell Uncle Leonard about it okay?" Henry said with pitiful eyes and Derek also followed him.
"OK, I won't tell father about it." Luca said hesitantly.
"Yup, thankyou Luca"
"yes, you are the best cousin in the world."Luca blushed shyly, he has always been shy type and introverted and trustful.Unknown to Luca, the twins shaking each other's hand as if they succeeded in mission.
In Manchester business office,
"Adolf, your daughter is coming today and here you are busy with documents. Don't you want to see her? you are meeting her for the first time."
The very good looking man in his late thirties wearing expensive brown suit said lazily and in curious tone to the extremely handsome man on desk checking documents. They both appeared to be close friends from their casual way of talking to each other. The man asking question had golden hairs and golden eyes and he was extremely gorgeous.
"Mind your own business, Rowan."
The man named Adolf said indifferently as this topic is not related to him. Adolf had black hairs and dark blue eyes with cold and indifference face which was extremely difficult to read.
"Don't be like that. However circumstances maybe, but she is your flesh and blood plus she is just 5 yrs old. And Lariete was our .."
"Enough!.....I think you should go now. I have meeting to attend to." Adolf said indifferently pressing his brows, as if to release accumulated stress.
"Adolf you.....fine. I'll be going then." Rowan exited from office leaving his last words.
"She is just 5 yrs old, her mother is dead and she is not responsible for anything. I hope you handle this maturely and not be too harsh." and then exited without hesitant without waiting for response.
Adolf just sitting there, massaging his brows also not wanting to respond to his friend suggestion. After he heard door close, look of exhaustion creeped over his face and eyes replacing his usual aloof expression.
"I know." He murmured very lightly. And then closed his eyes with slight frown on his forehead, seemingly thinking of something important.
Outside the Villa, before arrival of Vivian.
A Luxurious car entered Villa and stopped. Three children, two boys and one little girl could be seen exiting from the car.
"Elder brother, I think today That child will be coming to Villa." The extremely cute girl about 10 yrs old with silver hair and blue eyes wearing two ponies said qeoutish Ly.
"So what, Rose'? It's not related to us. She is not our responsibility. Elders will handle it. You do what you usually do."
The handsome boy of about 12 yrs with black hairs blue eyes similar to Adolf said coaxingly to little girl named Rose'.
"yes, Rose'. Jacob is right. You should just care about your homework." the very pretty guy about 11 yrs old with silver hair and blue eyes said smilingly to Rose' while rubbing her head.
"Liam, don't. My hairsss..brother Jacob.!.."
"Liam, that's enough!" Jacob said sternly.
"Okay." Liam said smilingly.
"elder brother Jacob and Liam, elder sister Rose', did you came just now?." three young kids came running from inside the Villa.
"Liam, Henry and Derek, what are you doing outside? Why are you not studying." Joseph reprimanded sternly.
"Yes, you shouldn't be running. What if you get hurt?" Liam said dotingly rubbing their heads lovingly.
Rose' also hummed indifferently.
"Elder brother Jacob, we completed our homework. And elder brother Liam, we thought father came when we looked at car entering Villa." Derek explained proudly.
"Really? then that's good." Jacob said approvingly.
"yup, good boys." Liam also praised his little brothers. 3 of them were very happy by appreciation they got.
"Let's go inside. As usual, father will be coming late." Jacob told his sibling.Everyone agreed and began to walk inside the villa. Soon, they heard noise and a luxurious car entered the Villa.
"It is father's car! he is early today." Derek exclaimed with surprise and Henry hummed to his statement.
Everyone looked surprisingly towards car direction.
The tall handsome well-built man exited from car. Servants greeted him and he nodded in acknowledgement elegantly, his demeanor showing his experience in this ruthless world.
"Father, you came back early today?" Rose' ran towards Adolf happily.
Adolf was little surprise to see children outside together and then nodded towards them. He then stopped his steps in front of his children slightly ignoring Rose's advancement awkwardly and just nodding at her as if answering her question.
Rose' was slightly stunned for few seconds but recovered her usual playfulness. Hiding her displeasure and resentment behind her innocent mask perfectly, as usual.
"And why have you all gathered outside?? Going somewhere ??" He asked with his usual indifferent tone.
He always have been like this, indifferent and cold. And just ask about school and health about children from their nanny, butler, head maid and teachers. He could be seen for breakfast briefly and rarely at dinner. And today seems to be that rare event. Everyone thought so.
"No father, we just met co-incidentally. We were just going inside and saw your car entering, so we waited for you." The eldest son Jacob explained and everyone nodded in agreement to him.
"Hm.. and how are your studies? If you want anything you can call my manager if you think I am busy." Adolf said while looking at everyone's face and then he started walking towards the entrance of Villa.
Everyone stood there in surprise and then followed behind him. Suddenly, Adolf's eyes flickered and he stopped walking. Everyone were little confused but before they could ask anything they heard noise of car entering their villa. All of them turned their head towards car's direction in curiosity and confusion.
Adolf also looked at the Black luxurious car indifferently, clenching his fists tightly under his coat. Under his usual calm and indifferent eyes there was slight undetectable surge of unknown emotions. While his children were glancing curiously.
Soon, the car stopped not far from them. Driver first exited from his seat and walked towards passenger seat to open the door. But few seconds passed and no one stepped out. Again few seconds passed and no one stepped out. Now it have been a minute or two no one has stepped out.
Everyone was frustrated without knowing that they were extremely curious unknowingly. Adolf frowned not knowing what was happening. children became frustrated.
"Isn't it Uncle Leonard's car??" Rose' asked in her usual small and quietish voice.
"Yes, it is." Liam and Luca said at same time.
"Then, why is not he exiting car?? is that child making fuss even before arriving?" Derek said annoyingly and disdainfully.
While Henry just nodded in approval for his brother, Rose' smiled mockingly where no-one noticed, Jacob just stood there with his usual calmness and patience, Liam and Luca were watching expectantly while Adolf heard the conversation, he didn't said anything or moved his eyes from the car, he just kept frowning.
Soon, they saw handsome man with slightly disheveled black hairs and black eyes coming out of car slowly and carefully as if carrying something that could break with slight nudge. Looking closely, something blue and small was seen in hand. He signed with hands something to driver and servants like to not make noise and started moving towards them.
Everyone watched with squinting eyes as he was nearing distance while carefully carrying blue baggage which he seemed carrying without much effort. While Adolf frowned more deeply and then loosened it after noticing something.
When Leonard was close enough to see what he was carrying. Everyone were stunned. 'He was carrying a child and very small at that' everyone thought in their mind.
Leonard paused in surprise momentarily, and then nodded at them as if greeting everyone and then signed them to keep quite and carried that baggage.. no .. a very small child inside, without waiting for their questions. When Leonard went from near them it was only for small moment but everyone saw it and were stunned.
Beautiful soft blue dress and shoes, long and extremely soft brown locks slightly flying in air. Closed eyes, long and curly eye lashes, red small pouty lips, pink healthy blush on slightly bulging white cheeks. She looked extremely cute and peaceful. Her cuteness exceeded everyone's expectation.
Adolf watched as his brother nodded at him with smile and carrying 'his' daughter carefully inside Villa, while clenching his fist tightly and with indifferent and calm expression like she is someone unrelated to him. He watched until their figure disappeared and cannot be seen anymore and then he moved his eyes towards others beside him.
"Let's go." He said indifferently.
And then everyone came to their senses and followed Adolf into villa in daze.
