My Daughter is a Vampire

Chapter 27 Why did Daddy try to hide his emotions for five years?



“This is not fun at all.” Ely grumpily puts away her plate and shouts at Brian and Charlotte.

“What do you mean? Isn’t this what you wanted?” Brian looked at her strangely and asked.

“Of course, I wanted to have a meal with you but not her. And, how can you feed each other, completely ignoring me?” Ely puts her hands on her waist and turns around.

“Come on, Ely! How is it possible for me to ignore my cute little daughter? I just thought you would want to eat more so I didn’t disturb you.” Brian awkwardly smiled when he realized that he was getting too close to Charlotte in front of Ely.

For now, he isn’t planning to tell her anything so he is trying to make it as less suspicious as he could. But, this is their first date. And, also the first dinner in a fancy restaurant. He didn’t want to miss this opportunity to be close to her as well.

Brian wasn’t a social person but he wasn’t an idiot. He knows what he must do when he accepts the responsibilities properly.

“Hate to break it to you, Ely but tomorrow, you would need to accept me as your mother if you want to get accepted at Royal Academy,” Charlotte smirked and spoke while looking at Ely.

“Never!” Ely smashed her palm on the table and shouted.

This time everyone around them heard and turned around. This got her embarrassed as she puts her hands down.

“Sorry!” Brian apologized to everyone and then looked at Ely. Each table was at a distance of five to ten meters. But, he still kept his voice low and said.

“Ely, if you want to join the academy, if you want to say that I am your dad, you got to accept her soon. Remember, your mother isn’t here. I don’t want to start on her at this moment but if you really want to live a life with me, you got to accept some things.”

“Royal Academy won’t let anyone without both of their parents join. Lily studies at the same academy. And not just her, some of the top superhero children study there as well. Your identity inside the school will no longer be Elenor Bathory. Your name will be Elenor Jackson and your mother’s name will be Charlotte Jackson.”-ɴ(0)ᴠᴇʟ.

“Of course, if you don’t want to study there. If you don’t want to meet Lily again then you don’t have to do any of this. You can either stay with your new friends in the school or live with Charlotte in the house.”

“You are a smart girl. You can choose for yourself.”

Hearing his words, Ely didn’t speak. She clenched her fist and jumped out of the chair.

“I will be back soon.”

Seeing her leave, they didn’t stop her. Charlotte looked at Brian and asked “Isn’t this a little too fast? She only met you yesterday.”

“I know but she has to accept this.” Brian sighed and looked at her back.

“She isn’t a normal child and she can understand what a child of her age can’t. Look, I can’t accept her mother. I don’t love her and it would be impossible for me to just replace you with her just for the sake of my daughter.”

“I know she has her own responsibilities, her own problems but who doesn’t. I had my own problems. I hated vampires until two years ago. I still hate vampires to a certain extent. So, how can I love vampires by replacing a person who has loved me for eight years?”

When he said that, Charlotte’s eyes widened and a blush appeared on her face.

“Y-you knew?”

Brian rolled his eyes and said “I am not an idiot or completely dense. This is the reason why I am so comfortable and close to you even though it is just a single day.” ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ

Slowly, he lowered his head and muttered “I was just trying to escape from you. I was trying to escape from her. I was trying to escape from relationships. But you made me realize no matter how fast a person can be, he can never outrun his true feelings.”

“I am a genius. I could know she was the reason I fall unconscious each month if I wanted to. I knew you had feelings for me. But, I had something different in my mind. I wanted strength. I wanted to take revenge for my parents. That’s why I joined UMA to forge my own path.”

“That’s why I left UMA after forging my path. That’s why I isolated myself but during my two years of life at UMA, I encountered a strange incident. This incident changed my life and also how I perceived vampires.”

“I understood that not all vampires are bad. And, I understood how much a father truly loves his children. I couldn’t imagine the self-control a top-level vampire would need to kneel in front of a human to save his child.”

“And, when I saw her yesterday, I didn’t feel sadness. I didn’t feel anger. I didn’t feel happiness. I felt guilt. I felt terrible as a father. And, that’s why I decided to open my heart to you. Because if there is a single girl in this world who is willing to take care of my daughter while not being her mother, then it’s you.”

When he said that, he finally raised his head and saw tears falling down her cheeks. Just when he tried to move, she shook her head quickly and wiped away her tears. She looked at him and said.

“I am glad that you liked me back.”

She didn’t say anything else. She just smiled at him and that smile was enough to tell everything. She could feel his thirst for strength and the guilt as a father.

Both of them smiled at each other and continued with their meal while Ely returned after a while. She looked at Brian and said, “I will go to school.”

“That’s great!” Brian cheered up with a big smile but Ely wasn’t done there. She pointed her finger at Charlotte and said “I might accept her as my mother in a name for the outside world but she will never be my mother.”

Hearing her words, Brian and Charlotte bitterly smiled. They knew this was going to be hard. Brian didn’t want to make her sad and now Charlotte was even more responsible to take care of Ely.

“Alright! Alright, but you might change your mind in the future.” Charlotte looked at her and smiled.

“Never!” Ely went back to her seat and started eating. They finished their meal, paid the bill, and finally left the hotel.

They didn’t take the train but rather took a subway taxi. It costs nearly ten times the train but now Brian doesn’t care about spending his money. He cares only about making Ely happy.

After they reached home, it was already night so Ely and Charlotte went directly to the bed while Brian went to the VR Pod. He still had to level up the entire night.

After entering the VP Pod, he pressed the button and spoke.

“Enter New Gods!”

The next moment, his consciousness was inside his avatar that appeared in the middle of the town. He looked around and saw a bunch of players and NPCs moving around.

“I guess, it’s time to level up!”

Brian smirked and dashed out of the town. But before leaving, he bought two swords, spending forty God’s Coins. Only then, he leave.

His goal was none other than the forest. And, he had plans for taking any quest at this moment. He just wanted to level up and at least become Rank One Superhero tonight.

After he reached the forest, he suddenly noticed a strange thing. As he ran deeper, he didn’t find a single monster.

‘What happened? Did some kind of glitch appear on the server? But, I thought I had developed a backup system just in case.’

Suddenly, his eyes shrunk. He looked around and thought.

‘No, wait! James told me that there was going to be a Mega-Dungeon. Don’t tell me that they included all of those monsters into that mega dungeon? Wait, I need to call him.’

ɴ(O)ᴠᴇʟ Brian immediately clicked on the menu and a bunch of different options appeared. Then, he clicked on the Friend List and nearly nine names appeared.

‘Thankfully I saved James’ number into my personal account.’

New Gods registers a player’s personal account as well and through it, he can search and add his friends. This way he can immediately contact his friend even without scanning it.

[James Tucker- Bravesoul (Online)

‘That’s good! Let’s contact him.’

Saying so, he clicked on his name icon.
