The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 249 - Fall In Love All Over Again

Zürich, Switzerland.

After what felt like forever, Lisa finally arrived at Grandpa's mansion villa where a helicopter was waiting for him. The property was beautiful and the view stunning, but he didn't notice any of it at all.

He didn't even accept the caretaker's invitation to go inside the mansion for some refreshments because he felt too excited and impatient. He couldn't wait to see his baby girl again! His mind was only filled with thoughts of her.

Exhaustion made his body feel heavy and sluggish. His bloodshot eyes were dry and even painful. He also felt a nagging headache in his temples. He didn't sleep at all during the twelve-hour flight.

Despite all of these, happiness and anticipation filled his heart. He wished he could just teleport to Cross Academy, so that he could see, hug and kiss his baby girl sooner.

The helicopter flight took more than an hour. Lisa forced himself to be patient. He was indifferent to the breathtaking view of the Swiss Alps at first, but when the academy's sprawling fortress came into view, he couldn't help but gasp at its sheer majesty.

He already had some idea of what to expect, but seeing the unbelievable expanse of Cross Academy with his own eyes was still very shocking. It felt like he was entering another world isolated from the regular outside world he came from. And in a sense, he was. He might as well be an alien visiting a new mysterious planet.

"So this is Cross Academy," he murmured.

The school for geniuses. This was where Grandpa and his own grandfather studied, known as the business genius duo, before building what was now the number one company in their country, Manoban Corporation.

And now his baby girl was enrolled in such a legendary academy. It only really hit him now that she was a GENIUS recognized by other geniuses.

He leaned his head back and closed his eyes, sighing. The corner of his mouth lifted into a smile. Instead of feeling insecure, he felt proud of her.

Finally, the helicopter landed. A guide sent by Grandpa welcomed him at the helipad. They rode a minibus to Grandpa's district house.

Compared to his grand mansion villa in Zürich, Grandpa's house in the campus was a quaint two-storey chalet. It was very modest, unlike his other luxurious properties all around the world.

The guide led him inside the house without knocking. The front door was unlocked. Immediately after entering, they heard the beautiful, flowing piano melody of Fauré's "Pavane" in F-sharp minor, Op. 5.

Lisa's heart skipped. He immediately knew that it was his baby girl playing.

"Lisa! There you are! I've been waiting for—hey!"

It was as if a trail appeared in Lisa's mind, lighting up his way towards his baby girl. Everything and everyone else disappeared. He couldn't hear anything besides the piano melody. It spellbound him like a siren luring him to a point of no return.

He didn't even notice Grandpa who was now scowling at him, as he rushed past the grumpy old man.

"Hmph! Look at the kids these days! Is it that difficult to greet your elders first? I want to know!" Grandpa complained at the young man he sent to fetch Lisa.

The young man only smiled, not saying anything. He also tried making conversation with Lisa during their trip from the helipad to the elder's house, but Lisa was too distracted to respond to him.

While Grandpa continued to grumble, Lisa finally saw his baby girl playing the piano near the fireplace in front of the window. His breath caught in his throat at the sight of her.
