The servants around quickly retreated and bowed their heads.
The staring contest amongst the three continued for a short while and then ended.
"Mummy, Daddy sent my uncles away. I was very sad but now, I met you. You are my angel. Muah!" the little cutie kissed Vanessa's cheeks.
"Aww! That's my girl. Now come, let's go have some private fun time together." she said with delight and took Lisa away. She never said a word of greeting to Jack.
"Stand right there." he barked.
"Mind your tone, Mr Jack. If you don't want to have a battle of whose mouth is more lethal, please, let us, mother and baby share some private precious moments together. Bye, loser!" she said and turned around to leave.
Jack couldn't say a word. He just stared at her departing figure with his little bun and later sighed.
"At least, there won't be nuisance. Let each one of us stay at our lanes." he said and headed for his study.

Lisa's room.
It was purely a princess room. A lot of things were pink or blue.
Today, Vanessa helped bathe Lisa and dry her hair.
She gave the babe some wonderful massage on her feet and kissed her forehead.
"Mummy?" Lisa called.
"Yes, sweetie. Anything wrong?"
"Err... I know my dad must have blackmailed you but I promise you won't regret being my mommy."
"Don't worry. Mummy feels honored to even kiss your cheeks. I wanna ask that we never separate till you are ready to be protected by your prince charming."
"I don't want a prince charming. Mummy charming is better." Lisa pouted.
"Yeah! Thanks for calling mummy charming. And now let me ask you. Can you promise to treat your dad nicely and not throw tantrums too often? I can tell that, despite his cold look, he loves you in his heart." Vanessa said in a calm manner.
"Pei! I don't believe. He thinks I'm a nuisance. He was glad to finally get some damn peace today..."
"Lisa, don't curse." Vanessa chided.
"Sorry mummy."
"It's okay. Changes don't happen overnight. Let's work hard together and deal daddy a sweet punch. We'll sow him what he missed."
"Yeah."
"Alright, my little babe is all set. Be my model. Pose for mama. Let her have this honor."
"Yeah! I'm the best model on Earth." Lisa sprang into action.
"Hehe. You are the princess and I'll be the queen model."
After taking some pictures of Lisa in various heart melting poses, she carried the cutie and they took selfie's together.
"Mom, the pictures are great. Let me take pictures of you." Lisa pleaded.
"Alright. Let mama pose for you."
Vanessa did some simple poses and she looked good in them.
After taking pictures of Vanessa, Lisa sneakily transferred them to her own phone and gave it back to Vanessa.
"Mommy, look at them. So pretty."
"Yeah. You'll make a good photographer." Vanessa carried the little one and kissed her cheek.
"Such soft cheeks you got! I could kiss them all day."
"You could faint from softness overload." Lisa joked and thy both laughed.
"Mom, I suddenly remember something."
Vanessa placed her down and she ran to her bag placed on a table to retrieve her phone.
"Wait a bit." Lisa said and Vanessa sat on the bed.
"Ok? What do you wanna show me?"
Lisa started sending all the pictures she had taken today at the different places she went.
Soon enough, Vanessa's phone beeped.
She took it and saw many pictures on her Whatsapp. She downloaded all of them and saw pictures Lisa took with her twin uncles at the amusement park, Haunted house, Restaurant, Cinema, Homes for the infirm and old etc.
"Wow! They are good. Who are those twins?" Vanessa inquired.
'My uncles. You will meet them soon enough." said Lisa.
As Vanessa scrolled further, she was stunned.
Her eyes widened as she stared at the pictures; one by one.
"Woah! Five stars." she exclaimed. "I'm saving this one."
Lisa took a look at Vanny's phone to see that her mum had rated Jack Reynolds dressed as a maid with 5 stars.
"I like that one best too." Lisa said excitedly.
Vanessa quickly sent the picture to Evelyn who nearly fell from her chair at home with mirth.
