"Oh."
Yelena covered her head with both hands, a very aggrieved expression on her face.
Seeing his daughter acting pitiful again, William could only shake his head helplessly and didn't scold her anymore.
After all, the bickering between Yelena and Ivan had long become a daily occurrence, as if their roles as siblings were reversed.
Although William was gratified by Ivan's maturity, as he seemed very interested in a military career and would occasionally ask him about business matters.
However...
That kid Ivan was only four years old!!!
Four years old...
William didn't even know what he was doing at four years old; probably playing with mud.
Ivan could speak at six months, walk and run at seven months, and would occasionally stare out the window in contemplation.
It made William always mistakenly believe that his son was also a transmigrator.
It seemed that Ivan only started to learn how the company operated after realizing his father was the head of Umbrella and that this world had anomalies.
Although Yelena also behaved very strangely, she was at least like a normal child, enjoying playing and causing mischief.
To be honest, Ivan was very suitable to be the successor of Umbrella and the Russell family, but William still hoped Ivan could be ordinary, rather than so precocious.
"Dad."
At this moment, Yelena, noticing her father seemed lost in thought, raised a hand to knead William's cheek and said, "What are you doing?"
William, snapping out of his daze, smiled faintly at Yelena, then walked towards the villa door and dotingly said, "Seeing our daughter so beautiful made me lose myself in thought."
"Hehe~ Dad is the best after all~!" Yelena immediately beamed with a happy smile, then hugged William's neck and gave her father a peck on the cheek.
'Indeed, daughters are truly a father's little padded jacket,' William sighed internally.
Then William carried Yelena into the villa, heading to the study on the first floor, which was also where Halsey often worked.
Opening the door.
William saw Halsey sitting by the French window, still typing on the keyboard with her slender hands, just like before.
As for her attire, it was no longer the monotonous white lab coat, but a white, slim-fit dress.
Combined with her golden, shoulder-length hair and increasingly beautiful face, no one would associate her with being a mother of two children.
It seemed she had even more...
The charm of a young married woman.
And when Halsey saw her husband approaching the room with their daughter, she stopped her work, stood up, and walked towards William.
Smilingly, she said, "You're back."
"Mm." William also smiled and nodded, then put Yelena down, gently stroking his daughter's head and saying:
"When I heard you say Yelena was bullying Maren again, of course I came back immediately to 'teach her a lesson'."
"So it was Mom," Yelena muttered softly upon hearing the reason.
"Behave in the future, or Brother Maren will dislike you," William warned, patting Yelena's head again.
"Yes, I know," Yelena obediently agreed when both parents were present.
Although Yelena was quite willful, she was also more understanding than average children; she didn't want to get a 'mixed double' punishment.
Seeing his daughter return to her usual good behavior, William smiled with relief and said, "Alright, go back to your room and play. Dad needs to talk to Mom about something."
"Okay~" Hearing she could play, Yelena immediately ran out of the study without another word.
"Sigh…" Looking at the open door, Halsey sighed with a wry smile to William, "You've spoiled Yelena too much."
"Hehe."
William didn't say much, but instead, with a mischievous smile, he wrapped his arm around Halsey's slender waist and pulled her into his embrace, saying:
"Yelena is Umbrella's young miss; of course, she needs to be spoiled and doted on."
As he spoke, William leaned close to Halsey's ear and whispered, "The most direct reason is, she's our daughter."
The sudden intimate gesture made a girlish blush appear on Halsey's cheeks, and then she broke free from William's embrace, saying:
"Don't be like that. Yelena is still home. Wait... wait until Andrei takes her and Ivan out to play sometime, then we can..."
"Hahaha~!"
Seeing Halsey's shy reaction, William laughed heartily and said, "Alright, I won't tease you anymore.
Tell me, do you have something else to tell me? It can't just be about Yelena being naughty, can it?"
"Mm." Halsey composed her somewhat agitated feelings, nodded, and told William:
"William, I had already anticipated Yelena and Ivan's uniqueness even before they were born.
Look."
At this point.
Halsey walked to the desk, turned the computer screen 180°, presenting the data on the screen to William.
William walked to Halsey's side, his eyes narrowed as he looked at the dense English text, and the formulas and data he couldn't understand at all.
He couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Catherine... you should just tell me directly what's going on. I really don't understand your scientists' stuff. Seeing equations just reminds me of the painful memories of math class."
"You," Halsey poked William's waist, exasperated.
Then she explained to him, "A few days ago, I took blood samples from Yelena and Ivan and found that their genes are almost perfect, with incredible athletic talent and learning ability.
Moreover, they inherited an immune system that can neutralize all harmful microorganisms, and their muscle and bone density are also very high, comparable to Spartans after surgery.
This is just their data at four years old; as they age, their limits will gradually expand.
Yelena and Ivan... are like Superman in comics."
"Isn't that great?" William put his arm around Halsey's shoulder and proudly said, "Every parent hopes their children will succeed.
More importantly, Yelena and Ivan are quite easy for us to manage. They remember everything after just one explanation. Look at Jame's family; their kids are still wetting their pants.
Hahaha~."
"Indeed." Halsey also chuckled.
Then, she said to William, "William, when Ivan comes back, take him to Minos."
?
Hearing this, William immediately stopped smiling and asked in confusion, "Minos? Why are you sending Ivan to Minos?"
"He recently told me he was really bored on the Infinity, so I contacted Colonel Kent and asked him to go experience some low-intensity Spartan training," Halsey said.
"Hey... you're his mom..." William put on a deadpan expression.
"Don't worry," Halsey gently stroked William's chest and said, "With Colonel Kent and Athena there, Ivan will definitely be fine. Besides, it's time for him to go out and see the world."
