Leonel sipped at some tea, looking between father and daughter with a mischievous look in his eye.
Honestly speaking, he should be more serious at a time like this. But seeing Miel's reaction to finally seeing his daughter for the first time in a while, with a noticeable baby bump at that… well, his subterfuge couldn't help but bubble up to the forefront. After all, he had had a bit of a feud with this father-in-law of his for a long while.
Was it mature to take this as a victory for himself?
Absolutely not.
Did it feel good anyway?
100%, yes. Yes. And then yes again.
He was laughing like a little child on the inside, then sparing some thoughts toward his curiosity about the baby's gender, before he went back to sipping his tea.
