New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 896
Advertisement
Sam was at work, doing something he should not be doing.
Yet, he could not stop himself from doing so.
He glanced about and noting that all was clear, he continued watching the live stream of his daughter, Fleur and his wife.
To think that his child would be a mini celebrity just from this contraption was something he had not thought would happen.
When Betty had started the cooking show many years ago, it had been a simple hobby. She loved to cook and whatever she learned from friends, family and classes, she would want to share in her Y-tube channel.
It had a modest following and Betty didn't do anything to promote it.
It was simply that: a genuine hobby and sharing of her love, and joy, of cooking.
Thus, Sam didn't think it was anything bad.
Then, after having Fleur, she would have Fleur in the background while she cooked and baked.
As Fleur got older, she was a curious child and wanted to join her mother, so she did. She was barely two years old when Fleur made her 'debut'.
Who couldn't resist this cute, adorable princess of his?
Her unbridled joy, pure laughter and cuteness while she mimicked her mother? She was also observant and picked up the skills.
Betty had even gotten real kitchen utensils for Fleur to use. Fleur had her own set of pink kitchen tools and a cute pink apron.
Betty then changed her cooking channel slightly.
It was still a cooking channel, but now, it was catered to recipes that young children would be able to do (with help) and Betty also used it as a means to teach Fleur things.
Names of vegetables, the use of it and so forth.
It started off simple as well.
When Fleur first started, Betty would be baking a lot as it allowed Fleur the chance to play with the dough.

As Fleur got older, the recipes became more diverse and Fleur's involvement in the actual preparation increased. From scooping ingredients into the mixing bowl and washing vegetables, to mashing potatoes and decorating a cake.
Sam was impressed and proud of his daughter who seemed to be a natural at cooking. Whether it was due to her innate talent, or Betty's natural flair for teaching, there was no doubt that Fleur became really adept at it.
Unfortunately …
People started noticing it.
At first, it had been a small cooking channel that was lost in the millions of other similar cooking channels.
Without publicity, it simply got lost within vast cyberspace.
That was why Sam wasn't particularly concerned or worried when Betty first started the channel.
However, once Fleur started, it became slightly more popular.
At first, it was just one share by a regular, obscure fan of Betty to her friend.
Then, more and more people became interested.
Before Sam knew it, the channel had exploded.
Fleur was the internet darling baby chef.
The worst thing was, it was too late for Sam to cause a fuss now.
Fleur loved cooking.
Fleur loved the attention.
How could he, Sam, be the evil father to take that all away from her just because he couldn't stand how people were now aware of how adorable his wife and daughter were?!
Especially when he saw comments saying things like they'll be their forever fans - even going so far as matchmaking Fleur with their younger sibling. Worse, even opely firting with his wife!
Preposterous!
The only time Sam was happy was when Betty was pregnant and it showcased to the world that she, Betty, was a happily married woman.
Humph.
But that wasn't why they had so many children.
Nope.
No indeed.
They had one child every two years - though if it was up to Sam, it would have been every year. But that is not good on Betty's health and even though Betty was a homemaker, it did not mean she could handle everything.

Sam had hired a housekeeper who would keep the house clean and also cook the meals, so Betty could focus on other things.
Like her cooking channel. Her kids. Herself.
Betty would still insist on cooking dinner, though, because Sam would be home and she did not want him to eat anyone else's cooking but hers.
"Playing hooky now, are we?" came a low voice right in his ear.
Sam barely held back his shriek and in his surprise, the phone he had been staring into intently flew up. Kyle caught it deftly in his hand before Sam could, and Sam glared at his old-time friend and Boss.
"Did you have to do that?"
"Yes, yes I did," Kyle replied with a grin.
Sam stood up and snatched the phone back from Kyle. He smoothened his shirt and sat back down.
Kyle was the only one that could sneak up on him like that.
The training he had done under Kyle so long ago never stopped. He knew how important his position was, and more so now with his own family.
With his daughter being in the limelight as well, he was even more cautious (or paranoid, whichever way you want to look at it). Since she was part of the Fantastic Four, though, Sam wasn't too worried about her development - and whether she would be used to get at Kyle.
However, it didn't mean that there wouldn't be any attempts.
More so since he had a lot of children … and planned to have more.
Sam had calculated it already.
They were married at 18 and had their first daughter then. With one child every two years, and one is encouraged to stop at 40 …
With his investments and his pay as Kyle's PA, he had more than enough to raise them.
However, it wasn't just about money now, was it?
Betty was a pure, innocent woman and she would raise their children well.
He was sure of that.
He just had to make sure they are well-protected while they were growing up and at the same time, teach them to be independent as well.
Being a young father wasn't easy but the way Sam would plan things to the last detail made things much easier.
"You really should relax more, Sam," Kyle advised him as he sat on Sam's desk, "The way your face was scrunched up, one would think you're ready to go into the channel and hit all those people commenting."
Sam gritted his teeth, sighed then leaned back in his chair.
"Just how do you do it?" Sam asked him.
Kyle looked at him, pursed his lips and said simply with a shrug, "By f*cking my wife whenever I feel like it."
Sam stared at him, Kyle looked back innocently.
Kyle grinned, stood up, and said as a parting shot as he entered the office, "You know Betty is devoted to you and sees only you. Just go on a date with your wife more often. Do things together."
After all, marriage was just the beginning. The wooing, dating, and such did not stop.
Sam thought about it and sighed.
He knew he had a problem with his possessiveness.
A date with his wife would be nice.

Infested
One billion people from one hundred thousand universes have been dropped onto a singular planet five times larger than Earth. In the corner of their eye were three numbers: 1,000,000,000. 15. 10. Nobody could figure out what it meant until fifteen years after the initial transportation, as out of the blue, a message repeated itself in their minds for twenty-four hours. “Only ten can return. The rest will die. There is no time limit,” Following the global message, genocides ran rampant, with established friendships broken, families ripped apart, blood alliances betrayed, and leaders felled in seconds. How? [The Evgnomon] The Beholden; hidden throughout the realm were artefacts: weapons, information, tools from beings and societies of a higher plane. It was up to the humans to scour the land and take them by hook or by crook if they ever wished to go back. Whisked into this world as a mere babe, I suppose it was lucky I didn’t die in the chaos. But as I stare into the rotten, tattered pages of the accursed book laid upon the pedestal in front of me; and the unnerving gaze of our professor trained onto the back of my head silently pressuring me to become the avatar of grotesques unspeakable and undecipherable to the human mind. O, how I wish I did...
