Transmigrated as a Fat villain: All heroines are after me

Chapter 24: - Grandma or Mother??

As I sat in my room, carefully condensing my mana into high-grade mana crystals, I found myself lost in thought.

My focus was suddenly disrupted by a loud thud at the door.

"Big bro, where is Amanda? She said she would bring me chocolate," a small girl inquired, her eyes searching for an explanation.

"You've been scammed, little one. Amanda doesn't have any chocolate," I responded, causing her to gasp and throw a small tantrum.

Just then, a maid rushed into the room, out of breath, and said, "Young miss, I've brought chocolate. I'm sorry it took some time." It was the same maid I had tasked with washing clothes without using her limbs.

I couldn't help but wonder how she had managed to complete the task.

"Amanda, take this little girl outside. I'm quite busy at the moment," I instructed.

Just as Amanda was about to bow and comply, the girl sprinted toward me and leaped onto my back.

She bombarded me with questions, curious about what I was doing. Since my return to the county, she had been spending most of her time with me, finding comfort and peaceful sleep by my side.

I understood the reason - her insatiable appetite and my regenerating mana-infused body seemed to complement each other perfectly.

Her chaotic body needed a constant mana source, and my unique physiology provided it.

"I'm preparing for my academy, little one. I'll be leaving in two days," I explained. Her response was another round of tantrums about my impending departure.

She even expressed a desire to accompany me. An idea suddenly struck me - one that might just work perfectly for the situation.

Kassidy's POV

I was lost in my thoughts about present situations

'I guess Maria is not giving her best, as East side mine's contract has been won by Liander's rather than Ronen'

Who could have thought that her own brother did that 'What if she do when she will know he is alive right now and in my dungeon', I can't forget as after those both drunkards meet the accident they both were breathing but drugged by me, as I myself pierced the heart of that bastard of a brother and about other I thought he will be of any use in future against Maria.

I guess now I should give him something to eat as for him being in dungeon as living only on rats and insects might not be hygienic'

Knock, Knock

"Come in," I responded, snapping out of my thoughts.

My son entered, holding a little girl in his arms, and they both shared a playful giggle behind my aide.

"Oh my~," I exclaimed, feigning surprise. "Do I now have a granddaughter?" I teased, noticing the amusing expression on Zeph's face, which only encouraged me to continue.

"Little one," I said to the girl, "call me Grandma, and I'll give you some chocolate."

She turned her gaze toward me, then stole a quick peek at Zeph's face before jumping into my embrace, declaring, "Grandma!!"

Zeph's POV

'What? Grandma? Come on, does anyone even believe you're over 30, let alone a grandma?'

"Mother, she's not mi--" I began to protest, but Lily spoke up before I could say more. "Grandma, grandma, Father always hits me," she said, her eyes welling up with tears as she slightly bowed her head.

Then, she cheekily stuck her tongue out at me. 'Did she just...? Oh, right, it must be her demon blood,' I reasoned, attributing her mischievous behavior to her demonic heritage.

"Ouch... ouch... Mother, what are you doing?" I winced, taken aback as she grabbed my ears as if I were a child.

Her next words, "How could you hit her? Are you taking after your father?" clarified the situation. 'Ah, yes, here we go. Wrong answer, Father. Right answer, Mother. Good, good.'

"Mother, I have a request," I began, my tone serious as I sat on the sofa, observing her who was playing with Lily.

"Tell me, my son. But you know I'm a businesswoman," she responded, her words carrying a weight that wanted to make me keenly aware of my past actions and how I had wronged her.

"Mother, would you be willing to take care of Lily for me?" I asked, shamelessly putting forth my request.

I had planned to discuss compensation in the form of mana crystals, but before I could say anything further, she swiftly agreed, saying, "Of course, I'll take care of her. Isn't that right, daughter?"

"Yes, Mama," Lily replied promptly.

"W-what? Mama? Weren't you Grandma just a moment ago?" I was thoroughly confused by the rapid change in their relationship status.

"How shameless of you to call such a young lady a grandma, Zeph," Kassidy scolded me, her gaze stern. Lily chimed in with the same word, "Shameless."

Looking at both of them, I felt satisfied with their attraction and noticed how Kassidy made Lily open to her. 'Here, my goal is achieved.'

The reason for giving Lily to Kassidy was to ensure that Lily doesn't forget her older brother when he becomes busy at the academy.

I knew how crucial Lily's presence would be to deal with someone sitting at the pinnacle of power.

Until I enter the second year,' Kassidy will make sure to brainwash....uh, I mean not let lily forget her older brother zeph'
