The Immortal Emperor Returns for His Daughter

5

Arya fell silent, not knowing how this little girl could look happy and joyful, instead of afraid of the previous incident.

He wasn't sure, but when he saw her looking so adorable, he couldn't help but pick her up, and carry her with a wide smile.

"Does Daddy look strong?"

Kiara in his arms hurriedly nodded, and with a serious face answered, "Very strong! Ara has long wanted to beat up those bad people. But Ara was scared, and didn't dare to look! Seeing Daddy beat up the bad people who have been bothering Mama all this time, Daddy looked so cool and strong!"

"Oh..." Arya smiled happily at his daughter's praise. Then pinched her cheek, and asked, "If so, does Ara also want to become strong like Daddy?"

"Can Ara also become strong like Daddy?"

"Of course!" Arya immediately nodded and added, "Ara is my child! Not only becoming strong and sweet, Ara will also become the sweetest and most adorable princess in the world!"

Kiara's eyes appeared teary. She didn't fully understand what her father said, but she was very happy with the praise given.

"Daddy is so good!" With a flushed face, she kissed her father's cheek again.

Making the Immortal Emperor melt, and began kissing her adorable little face.

"Ahahaha..." The sound of laughter and giggling immediately filled the entire room.

Father and daughter seemed to be in their own world, completely unaware of Aruna's complex gaze watching them both.

The next morning, when Arya and the two women were having breakfast at the dining table, he suddenly said to Aruna, "You've suffered so much all this time. You should stop working and start thinking about continuing your schooling. Just leave everything to me!"

Aruna seemed to stop chewing her food, but she didn't say anything, and could only shake her head.

Last night, after everything was settled, they had talked about the ten million dollar debt that Aruna was now carrying. An old debt from their late parents that was now burdened on their children.

Honestly, Aruna didn't want to discuss it anymore, because actually the initial debt amounted to more than twenty million dollars .

After years, she managed to pay off half of it. But with her current job, she didn't know when she could pay it all off.

Aruna had once tried to give up and accept the suggestion that the debt collector mentioned before. But when she saw Kiara and her hope for the future, where her older brother would suddenly return, she couldn't bear to leave everything.

Now, even though her older brother had returned and looked different from her memories in the past, Aruna still couldn't just stop working.

There were many things she had to do! Food, rent money, and so on needed money immediately! If she didn't work, how could she pay for everything?

Even though Arya had promised that he would bear everything, he had just returned, and he hadn't started working yet. The situation was different from five years ago. If Arya wanted to find a job, he had to first adjust to his surroundings.

Waiting for all that took time, and Aruna couldn't wait that long.

So she rejected his idea to stop working and let Arya do everything. Not because of selfishness, but because Aruna knew that living in this era wasn't easy!

Even if Arya later got a job, Aruna wouldn't be able to just stop working to earn money!

"I'm almost late! I'll go to work first! Please take Ara to kindergarten, Brother!" After saying that, Aruna immediately stood up, took her bag, and put on her jacket before hurriedly walking out of the house.

Ignoring Arya's helpless gaze who couldn't say anything except sigh resignedly.

This girl seemed to have become more mature and stubborn!

"Daddy, Daddy," Kiara who was sitting beside him called, "Will Daddy take me to school today?"

"Of course," Arya stroked her hair and gently answered, "from now on, Daddy will take and pick up Ara from school every day!"

"Yay!!" The little girl cheered happily, and hurriedly finished her breakfast.

7 AM.

Arya and Kiara arrived in front of her school gate.

Tadika Mesra Kindergarten, a children's kindergarten located in the center of Batu city, and quite large. Being the only elite school that basically only children of the wealthy and influential could attend there.

Kiara, although she wasn't a child of the wealthy or influential, Aruna still registered her there. His younger sister, it seemed she didn't want Kiara's education to fall behind or be mediocre.

Arya agreed with that choice. Although the cost was quite expensive, and the distance quite far, it wasn't a problem for him now. Although he wasn't the type of parent who had financial freedom now, it wouldn't take long before he would eventually have everything.

With all the experience, wealth and power he possessed now, money was just ordinary paper that he could get easily.

However, when Arya and Kiara walked into the school gate, he found that the little girl always kept her head down. Looking unenthusiastic and shy. Unlike other children who were cheerful and active, even running here and there.

"Ara, you finally came?"

At that time, a call from a woman made Kiara lift her head. And when the girl saw a young woman, appearing to be in her early twenties, looking beautiful, gentle and friendly, Kiara finally smiled.

"Teacher Yuna!"

Yuna, a kindergarten teacher, nodded and smiled as she walked toward her. Then stroked her head gently as a greeting, and turned toward Arya, slightly surprised to find a young man with Kiara.

Because all this time, she only saw that the one who took and picked up Ara was a woman named Aruna. But now replaced by a man who seemed to be only twenty-five years old.

Was this man Kiara's father? But he seemed too young to have a daughter at twenty-five years old, didn't he?

But she didn't ask, and only nodded slightly as a greeting.

Arya also nodded and looked at the female teacher only to find surprise and curiosity on her face.

"This gentleman—"

"Teacher, he's my daddy!" Before Yuna asked, Kiara immediately introduced Arya, "Daddy just came home yesterday, and starting today, Daddy will take me to school every day. Finally I have a daddy too!"

"Haha..." Yuna laughed softly, and bent down slightly toward Kiara while smiling thinly. "Didn't Teacher often say that Ara definitely has a daddy? Look, didn't your daddy finally come home and take you to school like the others?"

Kiara nodded in agreement, and smiled sweetly. Looking very happy and joyful while holding Arya's hand.

"Let's go into class. Teacher wants to talk with your daddy."
