" Woo~ Woo~, I don't want Sami to go~!" Elise almost jumped down from Kayla's embrace to stick to Samuel's leg as soon as he revealed about his departure. Enjoy new stories from novelbuddy

He shook his head helplessly picking her up rubbing her back as she howled and cried. Even Ash the dog was confused and thought that it was some fun event as it bark and howled like wolf to follow it's little master.

" Okay, okay, stop crying. I am not leaving right now. I will leave tomorrow but we have plenty of time before that." He knew he couldn't back down now or else he had to stay for few more days and Elise would use the crying tactic everytime he want to leave in the future.

" Elise! Be obedient or else I will smack your butt!" Kayla said angrily. It did make her shrink as she blinked a few times before her tears started falling again.

" Sami~ Aunt is going to beat me! You can't leave!" She now had a excuse which only made the girls more helpless.

" You two, just leave it to me. There is no need to get violent."

" But in this way, she would never learn. I thought she already learned her lesson to not throw temper tantrums but she is still acting like this. What would happen if you really leave and she start doing this again." Kayla was firm on her stance.

Her parents and grandparents were the same with her, if she did anything wrong they would warn her and even punish her which made her realize her wrongdoings. Spoiling Elise too much could make her crook and disrespectful in the future.

" Alright, alright. I know what you are worried about but I will handle it." He asked again. He didn't have heart to hurt the little girl but also knew what Kayla said was true.

Mayra just watched from the sidelines and when she saw Kayla leave, she followed her out of the kitchen.

" Elise, stop crying. Didn't you say you are a good girl? Good girl don't cry after little difficulty. I am going back but I am not leaving forever. I will be back soon beside, in few week you will have to start going to school. You will have many friends and at home Ash could play with you until I am back. There is no need for you to cry about it. If I don't do my job, how could I buy new toys for you in the future? Didn't you want to go to Disneyland? How can I afford it?" He said. His pleading worked and the little girl listened to his arguments.

Her eyes were wide as she tried to make sense of everything before saying," But-"

" No but, If you want to have things in the future you have to work hard, study and also go to college. If you don't do it, you will become a bad girl who just sits at home and eat food all day. You will become fat as a pig, how could anyone hold you then? You will be too heavy and too ugly for others to pay attention to you."

" It's good to have fun but you can't do it all day long. See how much tired the grandma are, you have to respect your elders and parents and do better in life so that you can take care of them in the future like they take care of you right now. If you keep being a crybaby, they would be disappointed in you." He didn't know how much she could understand but he told her straight.

It was much better to be upfront about it rather than keeping her in the dark. She would soon learn more about thr outside world, instead of that instilling virtues, he wanted to do it himself. At least she believes in him more than what others say.

Elise stopped crying and just stared at Samuel's serious face. Most of the time, he would have a warm smile on his face and there were only a couple of times when he was angry did he raised his voice against her. But this time, it seemed more serious, his voice was low but the intensity in it was immense. She knew he wasn't lying to her.

The kids were simple at this age, their mood would flip on it's head when they have something different to do. They would also forget things easily so he knew when he was gone, it wouldn't take long for her to get comfortable eith the new normal.

With few months of separation, it would be only sweeter for them to meet again. He was sire by that time, she would be more sensible. She was only five at the moment and he knew it wouldn't take her ling to grow up.

He wanted to preserve her innocence but at the same time, he didn't want her to be like other sheltered children. That was in her past, he wanted her to be more lively and cheerful in the future someone who was the life of the party wherever she went.

" Do you understand?" He patted her head lovingly.

She nodded which made him sigh with relief. People who always say that a child could chnage your life are all talking crap, they don't know the intricacies of taking care of a small himan being.

Even someone like him was having so much trouble, he could only guess what regular parents must go through on daily basis!

He put her down which made Ash come to her enveloping her in his soft fur. It tickled her nose which made her laugh. Soon she started chasing the husky around the whole kitchen finally leaving when Ash rushed outside.

It seemed that the dog also got the message and knew it's little master was feeling down so he took up this tactic to cheer her up.

He smiled and turned to cleaning again. He was just halfway done and after few minutes, he fully cleaned everything. He did a little extra because he didn't want Mayra to do it after he leaves. He did make a lot of food tonight so it was understandable that a lot of plates were dirty.

By the time he was done, Elise had already caught up to Ash and was pulling and tugging at its fur and ear. Others might be frightened seeing such a thing after all the husky was twice as big as her but he let her do as she pleased if she was naughty and tried to poke around it's eyes, it would dodge and walk few steps away from her sitting down in its usual majestic posture.

By now, Elise started to slow down. He could see her eye lids were heavy and she was tired after running around the whole day. Usually, she would have few hours of after noon nap but today she didn't stop until dinner.

Both Eleanor and Mathilda had already went upstairs. Eleanor decided to stay with Mathilda tonight, her apartment was different from their so they decided to go to bed early after dinner.

He knew they must be tired because they didn't even say good night to either him or Elise. He picked up the sleepy little girl and went upstairs, since he said he was going to spend time with her it was obvious he would have to tell her some bedtime stories. She would always light up whenever it came to that.

Kayla and Mayra were reluctant so he asked them all to join. It's not like they wanted to do anything because Elise was there but it was different when they slept together.

Both girls like to hug him to sleep, it was much more comfortable for them and somehow they would always have a relaxing sleep. It was his natural ability to make them so calm and they could also feel his presence in his sleep which was a bonus for them.

After a quick bath, he read Elise a new bedtime story, something involving magic. Since she liked the Potter series, he would come up with different scenarios for different characters, it wasn't hard for him to construct new vivid world inside the wizarding world after all he remember all the details of the story.

He could also mesh the world together with Ring series making the characters she like appear giving it some twist which would always make her laugh and giggle. She liked when he talked about about these fictional people interacted with one another which would make him the focus of her awe and admiration.

He was only half way through the impromptu story when she feel asleep holding her favourite plushie. He gently covered her body woth the warm quilt before dragging the girls to go to bed. Elise bed wasn't small but they couldn't accomodate so many people so he lifted her up to take her back to Kayla and Mayra's room.

Everyone was tired today so pretty soon they fell into the dreamland making the whole room quiet down.
