Rich Brat: Sweet Revenge Of A Lazy Princess - Chapter 366

Shreya carefully got out of her bed and walked out after making sure Akira was fast asleep. But just as she walked out of her room, she was met with Charan sitting there on the couch… he looked like he was waiting for her.

She couldn’t help stop on her track looking guilty. But then she put up a smile and asked, “You… you did not sleep yet?” Shreya’s voice slightly stammered because of embarrassment.

“You are going out somewhere?” Charan asked with a straight voice. His voice did not seem angry or anything… but more resigned.

Shreya blushed but still nodded her head.

Right then Srinivas called her. Shreya stared at her phone and then at Charan for a minute.

It was not like she can take Charan to jail… so, she was torn. She had promised him to let him be with her all the time until this was all over but she was breaking it by sneaking out in the middle of the night the very first day which was not nice.

“You can go… I will wait for you here… just get back soon!” Charan resigned to his fate as he whispered against her ears giving her a hug.

Shreya couldn’t help snuggle in as she whispered back, “I’m sorry… I did not mean to deceive. I just…” She did not know how to continue.

“You just got to do what you got to do…” Charan finished the sentence for her. “I just really feel useless sometimes…” He added after taking on a frustrated breath.

“You are not!!” Shreya shook her head frantically. “I just need to sort some things out first… it has nothing to do with you…”

“It’s okay… off you go…” Charan said and sent her away with a very complicated-looking smile. He then went ahead and went to Shreya’s room where Akira was sleeping.

Not to his surprise, he found Akira wide awake and staring at the ceiling.

“Hey, princess!” Charan said joining her on the bed. Akira snuggled into Charan very naturally.

“Cannot sleep?” He asked rubbing over her head. Akira was a light sleeper, especially when she was anxious like today…

“Are you angry at Shreya?” Charan asked.

“No… I am not angry. I just want her to be with me for a long time… I do not want to end up like mom. So, I know I was being childish for a few days. And I will talk to Shreya and say sorry tomorrow…” Akira said slightly sad and slightly embarrassed.

She did not want Shreya to work in un-godly hours just to keep her company… especially given she is injured and needs the rest.

“Hey, you are a kid!! You get to do childish things… Shreya doesn’t mind. In fact, she was pretty pissed at what I said to you in the car this morning…” Charan replied smiling.

Well, he really raised a pretty sensible kid. He felt proud beyond words.

“Well, you deserved it!! Shreya should probably beat you too for that!” Akira smirked. Maybe she can mention this as a punishment for sneaking out tonight!

All of Charan’s pride went into the drain the next second as he complained, “Hey, that’s not fair.” Charan playfully grumbled. “Little devil!” He even scolded her but then he couldn’t help but smile and hug Akira into his arms.

“You buy me chocolates and some new dresses, I will spare you… I won’t complain to Shreya about you!!” Akira beamed.

Charan couldn’t help but gap with his mouth wide open as he looked at his own daughter giving him a sly yet sharp look. He cannot believe Shreya actually taught her exactly what she said she would… to be a shrewd businesswoman.

“Baby, you cannot learn bad things from Shreya… they are for a.d.u.l.ts! Not little kids. When you grow up, you can use them… not now!!” Charan educated her very seriously.

“Shreya told me you would say something like this… That I am a kid and I shouldn’t be bad. But she said not to fall for it… Because no matter the age, what’s fair is fair… you should absolutely fight for what you deserve!!” Akira answered looking self-righteous.

Charan was left speechless. He really did not know how to reply to this…

His future looked pretty colorful given he was going to be jammed between one little devil and one a.d.u.l.t devil!!

“Hey, it is not fair you are teaming up with Shreya and plotting to bully your dad… how is it fair??” Charan w.h.i.n.ed depressed.

“Well, if you do not want to be bullied, you just have to buy me some chocolates and dresses… I am giving you an open option. What you want, you must choose!! How is it not fair??” Akira reverted back.

Is she really just 10 years… he was suddenly very scared of how she was going to be when she was all grown up given how she was already carrying herself like an a.d.u.l.t.

“Darling, don’t grow up so soon!!” Charan murmured holding her closer. There was a weird sense of nostalgia when he thinks about when Akira was born and how she was now… she really grew up without him ever knowing how.

“Don’t think changing the subject is going to free you… if you don’t answer and buy me, I have more ways to make Shreya beat you up!!” Akira sassed away.

“Really now?? Well, what are you going to do if I torture you first…? Shreya is not here to save you now…” Charan said and the next second Akira’s shrill laughter filled the room as Charan tickled her mercilessly.

Akira giggled breathlessly before surrendering to her father’s torture. And finally, she also fell asleep with Charan’s gentle patting.

Charan signed in relief. He did not know how many more years will he be able to distract her and make her laugh like this carefreely. How many more years that she was going to be his little girl who can laugh at his jokes no matter how silly they were… But he was grateful to heaven for each such day even when there is a lingering heaviness when he thinks about the time when all these are going to end up being too cool for her a.d.u.l.t self.
