My Love Debts Are Everywhere!

Chapter 171: Seeing Fiona Again

Morning...

As the sun slowly began to rise, its rays illuminated the world, bringing life to all living beings.

Inside the room, Leon slept deeply, his handsome face showing a peaceful expression. However, his comfort was short-lived as he suddenly felt something heavy pressing down on him, causing him to frown involuntarily.

'Ugh... Why do I feel like something heavy is pressing down on me?' Leon muttered as he slowly opened his heavy eyelids.

He glanced down at his stomach and saw a little girl with short white hair sleeping peacefully on his belly, a faint smile on her lips.

Seeing this, Leon, still a little dazed from just waking up, was instantly startled, prompting his consciousness to swiftly return to full awareness.

"Fiona?" Leon whispered in surprise, yet quickly regained his composure.

This wasn't the first time this little girl had snuck into his bedroom and nestled on his belly like this on previous occasions.

However, he felt a twinge of confusion regarding when this little girl had managed to sneak into his room, given that he distinctly recalled returning with Liliana when it was already three in the morning.

After a brief moment of contemplation, Leon shook his head, dismissing his confusion.

Turning his attention back to Fiona's endearing sleeping face, a smile tugged at his lips involuntarily.

"This little girl is indeed very adorable..." Leon muttered softly as he played with Fiona's chubby cheeks, soft as buns.

It had been over six days since he last saw her, and he found himself missing her immensely, particularly her adorable expression and those irresistibly soft cheeks.

As Leon gently played with Fiona's chubby cheeks, easing his longing, Fiona, deeply asleep, suddenly emitted a slight moan, as if she sensed someone caressing her cheeks.

Slowly, she opened her eyelids, revealing beautiful, round golden eyes.

Observing this, Leon, who was gently playing with her cheeks, was suddenly startled, as he hadn't expected this little girl to wake up because of his actions.

However, he quickly composed himself, putting a smile on his lips as he brushed her silky white hair and greeted her, "Good morning, Fiona. How are you? Did you sleep well?

Upon hearing the very familiar voice, Fiona, initially still dazed, gasped in surprise.

Slowly, she turned her gaze towards the source, coming face to face with golden eyes resembling her own and the beloved face of the man she had missed so much.

"Daddy?" Fiona blinked repeatedly, as if questioning the reality before her.

"Yes, it's me, Fiona," Leon replied softly, gently pinching her cheek.

His soft voice and the warm pinch reassured Fiona that she wasn't dreaming. Her eyes widened in realization before she swiftly lunged forward, wrapping her arms tightly around Leon's neck.

"Whoa! Daddy! I missed you!" Fiona cried out loudly, tears flowing down her cheeks like an unstoppable flood.

Six days without seeing her daddy felt like unbearable torture to her.

Upon seeing Fiona in tears, Leon was momentarily taken aback but swiftly returned her hug, gently rubbing her small back.

"Alright, my dear, I miss you too," Leon said softly and lovingly.

"Wuuu~" Fiona continued to cry, as if releasing all her pent-up longing.

Leon could only smile as he held her, allowing her to express her emotions freely with no intention of stopping her.

He comprehended the depth of this little girl's longing for him, evident in the way she clung to him like glue every moment they were together.

Yet, at that time, he had no other option but to confine himself inside his room to concoct an antidote to the devouring poison. Without it, he wouldn't be able to regain his strength.

Fortunately, his decision proved correct, as it not only restored his powers but also led him to encounter Miranda and uncover the secrets of the past 7,000 years, revealing his own destiny as 'the Fated One.'

Quickly shaking himself from his reverie, Leon turned his attention to Fiona, who was still crying bitterly.

"Alright, I won't leave you again. So don't cry anymore, okay?" Leon whispered softly, instantly calming Fiona's tears until they ceased altogether.

With tear marks still visible on her face and her little nose reddened, Fiona loosened her arms from around Leon's neck and lifted her head to meet his gaze.

"Really, daddy? You won't leave Fiona again?" Fiona asked, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Of course, my dear. I promise I won't leave you again," Leon reassured firmly, gently wiping away her tears and affectionately pinching her cheeks.

Fiona's expression gradually brightened upon hearing this, and a silly smile spread across her small lips.

"Hehehe~" Fiona giggled happily, wiggling her body from side to side, eliciting a chuckle from Leon at her adorable demeanor.

The two then embraced each other, releasing their lingering longing while exchanging stories.

Most of the storytelling was done by Fiona, with Leon serving as an attentive listener, occasionally interjecting with jokes that brightened the atmosphere around them.

"By the way, Fiona, I have something to ask you," Leon remarked, as if remembering something.

"Hm? What is it, Daddy?" Fiona asked, her big, round eyes blinking with curiosity.

"Last night, how did you manage to sneak into my room, and when did you do it?" Leon asked hesitantly.

Fiona was taken aback by the question, rubbing her small chin as if trying to recall. Suddenly, her eyes lit up.

"I snuck in before you returned to the room, Daddy," Fiona replied, a cute smile blossoming on her lips.

"Before I came back?" Leon was surprised by her answer.

If Fiona had indeed sneaked into his bedroom before his return, wouldn't that imply she had slept with him all night?

However, he remembered that when he returned last night, Fiona was not on his bed.

'Strange... Was I so exhausted that I didn't notice this little girl's presence in my bed?' Leon pondered silently, a furrow forming on his forehead.

If it had been him before he regained his powers, then he could understand it, as his sense of detection was dormant without any holy power flowing within him.

However, with his powers now restored, even stronger than before, it became impossible for anyone to evade his detection unless they were equal or stronger.

"Daddy? Are you okay?"

Just as Leon was lost in thought and puzzled, Fiona's voice suddenly broke through, snapping him back to reality.

"I'm fine," Leon replied, shaking his head to dispel his confusion.

Perhaps he had simply been too tired last night to notice Fiona's presence.

"By the way, Fiona, are you hungry?" Leon asked.

Fiona pursed her lips, clutching her small tummy. "I'm very hungry, Daddy," she answered.

Leon chuckled, lovingly rubbing her face. "Then, how about having breakfast with me?"

Fiona's eyes lit up at the suggestion, nodding eagerly like a hungry chick.

"Yes! I want to eat breakfast with you!" Fiona exclaimed excitedly, her adorable behavior keeping Leon's smile firmly in place.

"Alright, let's have breakfast," Leon continued softly as he carefully lifted Fiona into his arms.

However, just as he was about to leave the bed with Fiona, a sudden knocking sound echoed from the door, accompanied by an indifferent woman's voice.

*Knock!*

"Your Majesty Leon, may I come in?"
