" My little princess don't be mad, say-" He tried hard to face the little girl but each time he came before her, she would turn her head pouting hard not giving him any face.

Samuel was distressed, it had definitely something to do with his grandmother's appearance. He didn't know what she told the little girl but he could tell it wouldn't be easy to coax her. Even the 'gifts' that he brought beforehand became meaningless infront of little girl's stubbornness.

Mayra and Kayla enjoyed the show from afar, they had experienced the tantrum of little devil many times. Most of the time it was for her big brother to come and see her but now that he himself was facing such a situation, they could only feel excited and smugness thinking him to be the cause of spoiling the little child too much!

Maybe this experience would let both these kids to grow up! It was hard to raise children, they wanted him to understand that his brushing up money was only making the situation worse for Elise. They wanted to see what sort of innovative ways he would use to remedy the current situation.

" Want me to buy another castle? What about we go out and explore the disneyland again? I can book the whole for a day so that you can have fun?"

But when they heard him say such outrageous things, they were speechless and cursed him in their heart. Was the problem to every solution in his mind was to throw more money at the problem? Kayla was even ready to beat him up!

" Humph."

" No? How about we take a day off and you can ask your faithful butler to do anything you like? I will not leave and accompany the young princess for a day! You can do anything you want I will not leave until young highness is satisfied?" He knew money wasn't a solution but he was desperate trying to look for any way out of these terrible trenches.

Hearing what Samuel said, Elise finally showed some reaction. It was true that what she wanted most was her Sami. Now that she was getting such a sweet deal, it was only right for her to get tempted. She could do anything she want and Sami would never leave her side for a whole day? Such a thing was rare, it was only at the beginning when she met him for the first time did experienced such a thing.

At that time, she was still cautious fearing that he would abandon her if she made some demands but he never left her side and diligently accompanied her. Now that she trusted him most, she really wanted to spend more time with him but he was always busy. For a child, she was very understanding but it could only go so far.

" Are you sure? You will not go back on your word right?" She said in a low tone still not facing him.@@novelbin@@

He was instantly elated, he nodded vigorously staking his name and honor to fulfill this duty to the finest. Two sides finally came to an agreement which was sealed by a hug, since the initial tension was broken she started to behave like normal clinging to him.

" I don't know why he is so good with kids? Sometimes I think he has some superpowers to influence their minds." Kayla sighed. She still remember Elise's tantrum would last for hours!

" Maybe because she feels safest when she is around him. I mean, without him it was hard to tell if she would be behaving like this. Don't you remember the first time we brought her home? She stayed in her room and even the smallest sound would scare her." Mayra was more understanding.

Kayla remembered those time, they felt like ages ago but it's only been few months. She still remembered the first time they laid eyes upon the thin young kid when they visited the orphanage. Throughout her career she had seen countless abused children but in her eyes, Elise was the most pitiful.

She never thought that Mayra who was beside her at that time also felt the same. They never really thought about adoption before but at that moment their thoughts aligned and they decided to give it a go.

Since they were married and had excellent record coupled with their unblemished career specially catering toward masses, it was easy for them to go through the process. Only when they brought her home for trail to see if she would fit with their family did they understand the true extent of how much the girl had gone through.

Having both her body and mind scared they never thought such a child with broken spirit would ever be able to recover and behave like normal kids. Only when she met Samuel that she began to come out of her shell, the quiet kid who would be too scared to meet any stranger was behaving like a spoiled princess? It was only a dream to such a rapid improvement!

Seeing them make up, they could only smile and be grateful for Samuel's help. Unknowingly he had done a great favour for their everyday life.

Samuel and Elise made their way to the living room to find Nathaniel and Eleanor. They were about to leave to stay at their vacation home. Eleanor was waiting for Elise ready to take her with them but the little girl refused saying that she would rather stay with Sami.

Seeing the change in girl's demeanor and the smug expression of her grandson she could grit her teeth informing them that she would here early morning. Since she knew that her grandson was going to accompany the little girl tomorrow she wanted to be the third wheel trying to garner some good will.

After all her plan to take Elise for a cross country trip was still in motion. Sooner or later, she would be able to coax the little girl. Any issue with Kayla and Mayra were non existent. Since they found out that someone like Eleanor gave this much importance to Elise, they could only be happy.

Beside, they would be able to get some time off and finally focus on work for a change. No matter how much their company appreciated their connection to someone like Samuel, they never wanted to use his influence at their workplace!

After all, money was never a factor for why chose their job. Both their families were above middle class and had a lot of assets, it was easy for them to live a decent life even without working another day in their life!
