Neil was stunned. He thought Aurelia would ask for something big. It turned out she only wanted to eat something
good.
The streets filled with criminals came to mind. The filthy and small basement, the nomads who were dancing and
singing at the square… He had never thought there were people who would live like that in the world.
They strived to live.
He felt terrible. He lifted his eyes softly and looked into Aurelia’s eyes which were filled with excitement.
He stretched his arm to pat her head and squeezed out a word. “Sure.”
Aurelia was over the moon. She was going to eat after having a good sleep. Life was so good!
Soon, someone sent the food to the room. It was cooked by the top chef of the hotel. This meal was even better
than the ones she had had throughout the two days she had been working.
Aurelia could not hold back, and her eyes lit up. When she picked up the cutlery to dig in, she suddenly stopped.

Neil was confused. “The food was served to your bed. Just eat it there. Why did you get off the bed?”
“What if I dirty the bed? It’s such a great bed. I can’t bear to dirty it!” She picked up a piece of pan-fried salmon
and ate it. She complimented in excitement. “Mm! It’s good, it’s so good!”
Neil shook his head while chuckling. He could not understand why this girl cared so much about the bed. They could
just get someone to clean it if it was dirty.
Aurelia could not understand him either. To him, it seemed like everything was unworthy. He did not care about
anything.
“Slow down, don’t choke!” Neil handed her a glass of water and a napkin.
He did not realize that he had been having a maid adding pepper to his food for him. Now he had to serve a girl,
peeling the shrimps and picking out fish bones for her.
They preferred different cuisines. Aurelia was clumsy—she just could not pick up the meatball.
Neil smiled and fed it to her.
She bit into it, even biting the spoon.
The meatball was so good that she was sent to cloud nine.
“T-This is delicious, uncle!” Aurelia yelled. “Try one too!”
Neil was rendered speechless. He stared at her for a long time. “Must you call me… uncle?”
“Then what should I call you?” Aurelia looked at him with her big, innocent eyes.
He was angry. “What do you think!?”
She slowly swallowed the meatball in her mouth. She thought really hard and mumbled softly in the end, “…
Daddy?”
“Pfft!”
Neil spat water on the floor. He almost died from choking.
Aurelia quickly patted his back.

much. It’s better that I call you ‘uncle’!”
Neil had never been at such a loss for words in his life.
Forget it! He would not force anything. She could do anything she wanted.
Aurelia smiled and asked carefully, “Uncle, can I take a nap here after I finish eating?”
“Of course you can.” Neil looked at her. “You can even stay here!”
Aurelia was shocked by his pampering behavior. She did not know what to say.
Never in her dreams had she dared to think she could stay somewhere so nice.
She lowered her head while drinking the soup in silence. She suddenly felt like crying.
Ha, a nap would be enough. How could she really stay here? She did not deserve it. The room was luxurious and
clean… She could not dirty it.
…
Neil left the suite for her like a gentleman.
