[Side Mission: Find the truth about mother's true motive of staying away from the original owner's body]

What?

Sheen frown at the given side task. Why would she had this kind of mission? Isn't clear that the mother of Sheen Lei is only after her father's money?!

[Host. That's for you to seek. Sometimes, there's a secret in facade schemes]

What do you mean?

[Data is locked]

Hey!

[Data is locked]

Sheen looks up and saw Leo sitting on a chair not too far away from her with a small smile on his lips.

She was busy looking for a puzzle when the mission issued. By the way Yue talk to her mind, she look like she was struggling to find the missing piece of the puzzle and this view really adorable to Leo's eyes.

"You can't find it? Let me help you," he says and look for the missing piece. The little piece that complete the puzzle is a picture of falling petals of rose.

A big smile bloom on Sheen's face. "Thank you, brother Leo!"

The smile on Leo's lips fade and turn sour. "I remember, I just need to do some assignments. See next time little angel,"

Sheen wrinkled her nose in confusion, looking at Leo's back. What happened to that guy? Is he eating lemons?

"Little girl, let's go?" Joseph said gently.

Seeing the little girl seems tired. Joseph carry the little in his arms on his way to his car. Sheen yawn and snuggles in his arms. "Papa," she whisper that made Joseph smile.

"Little girl, Dr. Shelly just talk to me. She said that if I wanted to see more improvement in you, I should take you away from the surrounding that only brought you pain. That means we have to leave the New Valley," he said. After all, he made up his mind and his brother agreed to temporary take over his company for the mean time, even if that brother of his hates responsibilities. He just wanted to see his little adorable niece be okay again.

The next day, Sheen stretch her small arms but a frown form in her face. The environment seems different and everything seems wrong.

"Little girl. You're awake?" Joseph's asked.

"Papa.. where we?" she question in child-like tone.

"Oh! I forgot to tell you. I brought you to your grandpa's chateau. And he will be here soon with Grandma to play with you. They haven't seen you in a while after you born. Do you want to see them?"

Sheen's eyes turn misty, like her own father did to her. She grip on the hem of his shirt.

"You're leaving me are you? Don't try to deny it Papa!" She panick. Joseph tried to hug her but she run away towards the door and tried to cover it with her small body.

"Little girl,"

"No! Don't leave me. Don't leave me," she cried. Joseph hug the little body, consoling her.

"I already promised you little girl that I will not leave you and I will not break my promise," he patted her head and stick their foreheads together.

The little girl sniff, her eyes are red from crying. "You won't?"

"I won't and I am not leaving little girl until my hair turned white, silly girl"

She pouted her small lips and pointed her father's head. "But you already had some strands of white hair"

Joseph panicked and grab his hair. "What?! White hair?"

In the midst of his miserable state of having a white hair, Sheen can't help but giggles. Soon her giggles turns into laughter.

The father who seem fell in distress looking for white hair on the front of the mirror stops and stared at the little girl. His body shook and after he felt something wet on his cheeks that he found out that he was crying.

"Papa, are you crying?"

Joseph wipe away the tears that still keep falling from his eyes.

"No little girl. I'm happy,"
