2 Why does a baby cry?

There was a cradle in a big room. On the side of the cradle was a man. The man's eyes were fixed upon the baby in the cradle.

The baby's big round eyes stared at the man and tried to pry her hand out of the mans clutch. Although the baby had used all her strength, the mans clutch on her hand only tightened. After a while, droplets of water hit the back of the mans hand which had been holding the baby's hand.

"Why are you crying!!", the man frantically started shouting out loud. The words were ironic to the man's appearance. The man stood tall and gallant. He had a mob of black hair and a perfect chiseled face which had grown old with time. His being seemed to be endorsed with wisdom. However, at the moment his actions as a father were frantic and meaningless.

Arin Howells, was helpless. He released the baby's hand and took out his smartphone. He then searched 'Why does a baby cry?'. He clicked on the top most result.

He glanced at the baby and strode towards the kitchen. He opened the fridge, took out some milk and went back towards the baby.

The baby became terrified when she saw a face close to hers. She started wailing her arms in defense. Suddenly, something akin to elixir dripped into her mouth. It was cold but tasty. She savored the treat.

Everyone in the big room stood amazed. There were several questions which popped in their head.

'Why did the baby drink cold milk'

'Where is Lucy Howells'

'How does someone expect Arin Howells to take care of a baby?'

As soon as the clock ticked 2:00 pm, Arin Howells took the baby, Reina Howells, in his arms.

He gestured for a maid to come inside the big room. "Emily, come inside"

A women with brunette hair popped up inside the big room and waded towards the cradle.

"Take care of her", Arin Howells commanded.

"Sure", the maid Emily Luis replied.

Emily Luis was a maid and had been serving the Howells for the past thirteen years. Before she started working in the Howells mansion, she worked in the IT department at the Howells Cooperation. However, on the day of the Cooperation's 25th anniversary she saw a pair of silver eyes and they charmed her. When Emily asked around, she came to know that the pair of the silver eyes belonged to, Lucy Jaggery, the fiance of the son to the CEO of Howells Cooperation that is Arin Howells. Emily's eyes sparkled and her love for beautiful girls sky rocketed. She resigned from the post of the Manager of the IT department in Howells Cooperation and submitted her resume for the job of the maid in Howells mansion.

'She is so cute', Emily gushed in her mind and kissed her cheek.

Arin Howells had just reached the door to exit, when he glanced at Emily's blushing face from the corner of his eye. He became envious of Emily and directed a glare towards her.

He opened up his mouth to warn Emily to not even think of kidnapping his lovely daughter but closed it. Despite being displeased by the brazen show of Emily's affection towards his lovely daughter, he knew that Emily was the best protector for his daughter.

Though the moment took place in under a half an hour, one could label Arin Howells as a doting father. Arin Howells was the executive director of the Howells Cooperation. However, he was not a prodigy in business like the rest of his family. The Howells were known for their hard-work and keen insight. The keen insight had helped then to raise the Howells Cooperation to a height at which, it could be crowned the indirect ruler of the Country Amedes. In addition to the keen sight, their hard-work had earned them a loyal group of supporters and positive media feedback. It is not brazen enough to say that the Howells were the symbol of purity and strength in Amedes.

Arin Howells grunted and with a scowl plastered on his face he walked out from his cute daughters room.

'Another day of working', he sighed.

Above this realm, the God of Heaven watched this interaction from his plushy seat and grinned.

"Well, well, Navy Wales or should I now say Reina Howells" He laughed and squinted his eyes. "Charmed another! But, don't forget about your dear father in heaven".

Mia, the assistant of the God of the Heaven, just shook her head at the God's words.
