Leo put on his apron and then he started the streaming. Many people joined in to watch him, and then Lily greeted them all, "Helloooo, everyone. Today, Baba and Lily will be baking a cake."
Leo smiled and said, "Welcome to Cooking with Daddy, and today we have the special guest on the show, Chef Lily."
Lily played the role very nicely and she waved her hands to everyone with a sparkling smile. Then Leo made a Tada sound before he pulled out a cute flower printed apron from behind him, and said, "Since Chef Lily is making an appearance then we will give her a special apron."
He put on the apron around her neck, and Lily took a swirl before she asked, "Baba, I like this."
Leo smiled and said, "I am happy that you do."
The young man then took out a small sized chef hat and placed it on her head. Lily opened her mouth wide and then she exclaimed, "Yay! Lily has a chef hat. Haha, I will show Stella."
Leo nodded and then he looked at the little kitten before he said, "Well, Chef, how about you handle the mascot and I handle the cake. Ofcourse I will do everything under your supervision."
Lily picked up the little kitten and said to the camera, "Everyone, this is Momo. Baba got her home for my birthday. Isn’t she cute?"
The comments were raining, and Lily frowned as she said, "Baba, can we not slow down these flying words? I want to read them but they fly very quickly."
Leo chuckled at the term that she used and then he changed the settings. Every time someone commented the next person would have to take a small break of five seconds.
He said, "I know that you all have a lot of questions, but today Lily wants to talk to you all, so I hope that you accommodate her."
Then he began to prepare the ingredients for the cake and he said, "The reason Lily is taking the supervision role is because we will be using some appliances that are not safe for her to interact with."

The people understood that he was concerned about Lily. Leo was not paranoid, although cakes can be made without using knives, but the oven and the blender were still something that could harm Lily. Obviously, he would be there, and ask her to participate but since it was the first time, he wanted to make it as safe as possible.
He took the dry ingredients inside a glass bowl, and said, "Chef, it is time for you to mix them up."
Lily placed Momo on the side of the counter and poked her nose, "Don’t go anywhere, okay?"
Momo meowed as if saying ’yes’ to her. Then the little girl washed her hands first and said, "Although I brush Momo daily, there is still a chance that her hair might be present on my hands. So, Ma says that while we should love everyone, we should also stay clean. Please wash your hands before cooking."
The chat was flooded with gifts (unlike the story which is not being gifted by you guys, seems like you don’t like it at all.), Leo then gave her a spatula and guided her to mix them all properly.
Then he mixed in eggs and then took out the blenders, before asking Lily to handle Momo, in case the kitten got scared from the sound of the machine.
…
While the two people were baking cakes, Snow was dealing with something that would aid their plan for revenge. Yes, it was not only Leo who lost everything, but also Snow, who suffered a lot.
The turmoil of watching the one you love break into shards and unable to do anything was greater than breaking down. Snow gave up everything for Leo, not because he was rich or anything, but because he was sincere.
She always thought that it was because of her that Leo suffered so much, and whenever she thought like this, her guilt intensified the rage in her heart. Many times she wanted to call back home and have her family kill Carole and his family. However, that would mean giving up Lily and Leo. She couldn’t do such a thing.
At the moment, she was sitting inside the staff room, and across from her sat a young girl, hazel blonde hair, brown eyes, her face was devoid of positive energy.
Snow sighed and asked, "Symphony, you have been a brilliant student all these years, can you tell me why are your grades falling down so sharply and they are not improving either."
Symphony shook her head and said, "I am sorry, Miss Snow, but I haven’t been studying properly, but I promise that I will do better in the next exams."
Snow shook her head and said, "Symphony, raise your head. Look at me. I will not scold you, child. I promise."
After a few moments, Symphony raised her head and Snow asked, "Is everything alright at home?"
She could not directly jump the gun and scare away the teenager, could she?
Symphony shook her head hurriedly, and Snow reached out to hold her hand. She said, "Symphony. I know about the name change application your mother put in."
Symphony flinched and wanted to pull her hand back when Snow held it firmly and said, "Don’t run away from it. Did you think that no one would detect that you have been working two jobs and barely have any time to study? Did you think that we teachers are machines that would not understand the plight of our students?"
As she was asking these rhetorical questions, Symphony couldn’t hold on the tears in her eyes, she began to sob softly, and her arms became weak.
Snow stood up from her chair and came to stand beside Symphony, before she patted the girl’s head. Symphony buried her head in the stomach of her teacher and began to bawl.
Snow felt bad for the child, but in her mind she sighed and thought, ’If not for the fact that your mom fell for that asshole. Your life would have been completely different, my dear. Why can’t a streak of lightning hit him and relieve the world of him?’
After a few minutes, when Symphony calmed down, Snow picked up a few tissues and handed them to the girl before she said, "You have been working to ease up some burden for your mom, and grandparents, right?"
Symphony nodded, and Snow said, "How much do you earn per week?"
The girl replied in a soft voice, "Five hundred, Miss Snow."
Snow picked up her bag and said, "I will give you one thousand, and from now on, you have one job, and that is to tuition my daughter for two hours everyday. Usually my husband is home, but he gets busy sometimes and my daughter lacks a playmate."
Symphony was shocked, and Snow said, "Don’t think even for a second that I am taking pity on you. I am just giving you a better option. This way you will earn more and have the time to study as well. Symphony, I really hope that you can gain the top position again, you have always been my best student and I just cannot see you ending up like this."
The waterworks began one more time. After a few minutes, Snow gave Symphony one thousand ren, and called her mother about the situation. The other party was very grateful. She was someone who Carole met outside the college, but then after giving in to the path of quick success, she was thrown into the world where everything was earned through bitter battles.
So, now Symphony’s mother was a better human and she was independent as well. While her hand was tight when it came to finance, her values have been corrected and she was grateful to Snow for this gesture.
After this whole thing was settled, Snow leaned back in her chair and thought, ’Pawn is acquired, now she needs to be groomed and trained for the war that is to come.’
Yes, she was not as kind as to go and help Symphony for nothing. She had been conditioned for a long time to look at the losses and the gains from childhood, and the only time she closed her eyes was when she fell in love with Leo, the guy who did not care about such things.
However, the world desecrated her, and thus she decided to use Symphony as a card in her deck. A card that will deal a significant blow to Carole Primal.
She packed up her stuff and moved out of the school. The guards on duty followed her, and when she reached home, she greeted Jock and his partner with a nod.
She went inside the house and was drowned with a fruity aroma, and headed to the kitchen, only to find Lily and Leo smiling at each other, Snow asked, "What is going on here? What did you make?"
Lily dashed into her arms and said, "We made a cake. Lily spread sprinkles on it. Baba will take it out."
Snow smiled at her and said, "I look forward to the cake."
She gave Leo a look, and the young man raised his brow. Snow said, "Let us eat first."
