Bab 2573: Tears

Miel's happiness was overwhelming and he forgot about everything as he wrapped his arms tightly around his daughter. He rarely showed this much outward affection, but this time he had truly moved without thinking. 

Leonel smiled as he watched from the side. 

"Dad, we have something to tell you," Aina said after the two pulled apart.

Miel blinked, his mind regaining his focus as he looked from Leonel to Aina. His mind immediately jumped to the worst case scenario and he actually looked at Aina's belly first. 

Aina smiled bitterly and Leonel did his best not to crack a joke. He was going to say: "Even if you stare for that long, old man, it'll take months before she starts showing". But he had to maintain some level of decorum for today. 

This was a matter of Aina's happiness and he couldn't be cracking jokes that could quickly take this matter left. 

"That's not what it is, I'm not pregnant." Aina said.
