Chapter 613 Perfect Control
Warmie was very good at acting cute, and it was through this that she gained Lloyd's favor, making him extremely fond of her.
Of course, this also had to do with Warmie's last name being Abbott.
Susan had erased his past, prompting him to seek retribution through adopting Warmie
Lloyd was a bit tired and closed his eyes to rest, leaving Warmie to be taken care of by his subordinates.
The assassins trained in Moonlight Gate were cold-blooded, regardless of gender, and none of them knew how to take care of children.
Female assassin Ruth also didn't know how to take care of children. She was an 'Ember' level assassin in Moonlight Gate, the lowest of the four levels: Tempest, Inferno, Torrent, and Ember.
Warmie was happy and quiet with Lloyd, but as soon as she was in Ruth's arms, she started crying loudly.
Warmie remembered Ruth. Even though Ruth had covered her face when she hurt Ophelia, Warmie could identify her by her scent.
Ruth's scent made Warmie very uncomfortable, and she cried because of it, leaving Ruth at a loss. She tried to soothe Warmie with various toys, but nothing worked.
Ruth checked if she needed a diaper change or if she was hungry, but nothing helped.
The other assassins also didn't know how to take care of her, and they were all flustered by Warmie.
These people, who could easily take on ten opponents, were helpless against a few-month-old Warmie.
The crying was so loud that Lloyd couldn't sleep and sternly reprimanded, "What's going on? You can't even take care of a child?"
Ruth was so scared that she trembled, her face turning pale and cold sweat forming on her forehead. "Master, I don't know what's wrong with Warmie. She just keeps crying."
Even the accompanying doctor from Moonlight Gate checked Warmie and found nothing wrong.
Warmie was just purely fussy and in a bad mood.
"Give her to me," Lloyd said with a stern face.
Ruth handed Warmie to Lloyd, and miraculously, Warmie stopped crying as soon as she was in his arms. She just whimpered pitifully, her little mouth pouting, looking so pitiful.
Lloyd, feeling sorry for Warmie, gave a sharp glance at Ruth. "You can't even handle such a small matter. Get out."
"Yes, Master," Ruth said, trembling as she retreated to the back of the plane.
Warmie only recognized Lloyd and didn't want anyone else. If anyone else touched her, she would cry.
But with Lloyd, she was all smiles. Such a cute and clingy child was loved by everyone.
Lloyd, who had left home at a young age and lived in a world of blood and violence for decades, had built the Moonlight Gate and survived by many efforts.
But he, despite his cold exterior, had a soft side deep in his heart.
Seeing how Warmie clung to him made Lloyd very happy. At his age, having a little child like him was something to be proud of.
A child's affection was very pure.
In Lloyd's heart, although he called Susan "Mom", he didn't consider anyone in the Abbott family as his real family. But Warmie made him feel needed, like he had a family.
"Warmie, if only you weren't an Abbott," Lloyd said kindly, playing with a rattle to make Warmie laugh.
Sometimes, affection can be a burden. Warmie only recognized Lloyd. As soon as she woke up, only Lloyd could calm her down. Even just seeing Lloyd would stop her from crying, but if she couldn't see him, she would cry loudly.
Even feeding and changing diapers had to be done by Lloyd, or she would cry.
At first, it was manageable, but over time, Lloyd became exhausted.
When they settled in Rivonia, Lloyd took care of Warmie every day, even getting up in the middle of the night to feed her, which was very taxing for him.
Not sleeping well at night left him tired during the day. After several days of this, Lloyd was completely worn out.
But as soon as he heard Warmie's laughter, he couldn't bear to ignore her. Once, when Lloyd was exhausted and irritable, Warmie sat on the carpet and adorably called out "Grandpa".
Hearing this, Lloyd was stunned in place.
In reality, it was just a sound Warmie made unconsciously. She wasn't really calling him Grandpa. She was too young to actually call people.
But looking into Warmie's big eyes and hearing her call him Grandpa touched Lloyd's heart, and his anger immediately dissipated.
