My Daddy Hides His Power – Chapter 311 – Side story Part 2 Chapter 7

“Ah, okay. So what I mean is, we’ve been having some trouble because of that, right?”

“….”

“Of course, there’s no need to rush, but since we’ve encountered an unexpected situation, I can’t help but worry. Having a baby isn’t an easy thing, after all.”

The story was a bit long. However, Cheshire listened patiently.

“Even if it succeeds, since I’m busy with work right now, I figured having a baby would be tough for now?”

Lilith fidgeted with her fingers, glancing nervously at Cheshire.

“But lying next to you and imagining our future baby, I really, really want to see them.”

“So what’s the conclusion?”

Cheshire, stunned, asked.

He was the one who said he wanted to have a son who looked like Lilith. It seemed Lilith took that seriously.

“The lifespan only lasted a month. So I thought maybe it was just a simulation of you, me, and the baby happily playing together…”

“But nothing happened.”

“Mhm.”

“Lilith.”

At that moment, Cheshire’s eyes sharpened.

“Is that how Primera’s ability normally works? So, you’ve been using it all this time without knowing what the outcome would be? And something didn’t actually happen, but your lifespan was still consumed? That’s a situation even you didn’t expect, right?”

This was a big deal. As Cheshire pointed out each and every detail, Lilith felt like crying.

“That research you mentioned back then.”

“….”

“…You’re doing it.”

In the end, Lilith, who had been chewing her lips, nodded carefully.

The reason she used her ability in this way was because she was researching something else.

That is, research on Primera.

This was the research Lilith had first suggested to Oscar.

And since it was research that required, if not a lot, at least some use of lifespan, he naturally sought permission from those around him first.

Enoch and Axion were persuaded…

Finally, she tried to get Cheshire’s consent as well, now that they had become a united pair bound by fate as a married couple.

“Don’t do it.”

She received a very firm answer.

Cheshire, who was furious as soon as he heard it, pushed away Lilith who was trying to stop him and went to the Wizard Tower to confront Oscar.

“Don’t do it. I won’t allow you to experiment using Lilith’s lifespan.”

“How dare you bark orders like that? Where did you even learn such insolence? Anyone listening might think it’s your lifespan being used!”

“I can do far worse than giving orders. If it were my lifespan being used, I wouldn’t be this angry.”

“You think I’m doing this because I want to?”

“Yes, then don’t do it. Stop pretending this is about some grand cause, and just keep being selfish, thinking only about Lilith as you always do.”

For the first time that day, Oscar was at a loss for words and couldn’t say anything more to Cheshire, who had arrogantly spoken and left.

“Th, that rude b*stard… huh, but it’s not like I can’t understand him either.”

Because, despite all the talk about principles and such, he genuinely put Lilith’s well-being first—and that wasn’t something he disliked.

So in the end, everyone agreed to keep it a secret from Cheshire, and the research began.

“I thought you promised me not to do that kind of research.”

“Mhm, that’s right.”

The main purpose of the research is to fully understand Primera’s abilities that even Lilith doesn’t know about.

Thus, whether through magical artifacts or other means, they aimed to prepare ways for ordinary people of future generations to keep the Primera in check.

“But you know this research is absolutely necessary for the greater good, right?”

“I’m sick of hearing about the greater good.”

….Heuk.

“Why did you marry me?”

“Cheshire.”

“If you’re going to do whatever you want like this, why did you marry me? I clearly said no. Don’t do that.”

“….”

He was seriously angry. Startled, Lilith was frozen, unable to say a word. Cheshire’s eyes were cold and hard as ice.

On the fourth day of their marriage, at that very moment the young couple faced a crisis!

“Until Lilith returns, Young Master Manuel, please take responsibility for Enoch.”

“Why? Did I make him a baby?”

Baby Enoch looked back and forth between Axion and Oscar.

The two men were arguing over Enoch’s whereabouts for a long time.

“Lilith is a researcher at the Wizard Tower, and Young Master Manuel is the Lord of the Wizard Tower. This incident occurred due to a mistake during the research.”

“Wow, that’s harsh. You do understand why we’re researching Primera, right? This isn’t something I’m doing just for my own sake.”

“Of course, it’s not like that… but still…”

Axion was at a loss for words.

Spending precious time on this research and preparing ways to keep Primera in check are not Oscar’s obligations.

To prevent the possible recurrence of tragedies that future generations might face, Oscar is acting purely out of goodwill.

“I’m sorry, Young Master Manuel, but I’ve never taken care of a newborn baby before.”

“Do I have that?”

“You do have memories of taking care of Lilith, don’t you?”

“At that time, she had already graduated from formula and was completely weaned off diapers, though?”

That’s right. That was the problem.

Since Enoch couldn’t control his baby body, he needed help from others for everything—eating, moving, and even going to the bathroom.

He literally had to be cared for like a newborn baby with an adult mind trapped inside!

Until Lilith, the only key to resolving this situation, returns from the honeymoon.

For reference, the trip is scheduled for ten days, and since three days have passed, a whole week remains.

“Young Master Manuel, you are a genius! You’re someone who can’t do what you can’t do, so would you be clumsy just because it’s your first time changing a diaper?”

“Yes, I am indeed a genius! But do I really have to take care of Duke Rubinstein’s baby bottom and dirty diapers?”

“Uba! (Stop!)”

Enoch shouted, unable to listen any longer.

The two men’s eyes lingered on the baby on the sofa.

The baby spoke with difficulty.

“Jwust, tawke me homwe…”

“….”

After a brief silence, Oscar and Axion looked at each other.

“That’s right. The guardian is alive and well, so we don’t need to raise him.”

“I see. Let’s go right away.”

Duke Rubinstein’s residence.

Enoch’s father, Nordic Rubinstein, greeted the two men who had come out of nowhere, still looking neat and dignified.

“Good morning. I apologize for coming to see you without contacting you.”

“….”

On one side was Axion Libre, a longtime close friend of his son Enoch and the father-in-law of his granddaughter.

“How have you been, Sir Nordic? It’s been exactly four days since I saw you at your wedding.”

“….”

On the other side was Oscar Manuel, the granddaughter’s boss and godfather.

The two were sweating.

Nordic lowered his gaze silently.

Towards the ‘something’ in Axion’s arms.

“….”

It was a baby.

A baby with silver hair, bigger and healthier than others his age, chubby little arms with cute dimples, and tiny sausage-like fingers gripping Axion’s collar firmly.

Kugh.

Feeling Nordic’s scary gaze, Axion poked Oscar’s shoulder.

Kugh.

This time, Oscar stabbed Axion in the arm.

After a beautiful act of each trying to pass the explanation to the other, Oscar finally opened his mouth.

“Sir Nordic, don’t be surprised. This baby is actually…”

“Enoch?”

Oscar was surprised. Axion’s eyes widened as well.

Of course, the baby was the most surprised.

Nordic stared at the baby and spoke again.

“Enoch.”

That’s right. It’s an unbelievable situation, but a father is still a father—he recognized his son immediately.
