Khushi entered Arnav's study to find Lulu completely annihilating Arnav in a game of chess, and she smirked as she watched her daughter kill an arrogant Arnav who claimed to be unbeatable.

Khushi had never won against him, despite perfecting her skills in the game, and Arnav always made sure to rub it in her face when she lost, but Lulu's unbeatable victories against her father made her proud because she could use them to irritate Arnav.

Arnav, who was upset, pulled out his phone and wired money to Lulu's account, and she jumped up and began dancing.

"Loser. Loser. Loser." Lulu chanted while dancing, and Arnav crossed his arms, frowning.

Khushi's giggling alerted the father-daughter duo to his presence, and they watched as she approached them with Advay on her hip.

"Don't." Arnav said this knowing Khushi was about to taunt him for losing to Lulu, which caused the mother and daughter to laugh.

"Arnav, when will you realize you are not the champion you claim to be? You are not that good." Khushi teased, and Lulu nodded in support of her mother as Arnav glared at them both.

"I am glad he is not willing to give up because the more he challenges me, the wealthier I get." Lulu smirked as he looked at Arnav, who got up suddenly and grabbed Advay from Khushi. He giggled happily and rubbed his cheek against Arnav's beard, enjoying the tickle on his smooth skin.

"How is my baby boy doing?" Arnav gave him a cheek kiss.

Hari Prakash entered the study room and smiled as he watched his once arrogant and cold boss perfect his role as a father and son.

If someone had told him over a decade ago that his boss would fall in love, marry, and have children, he would have slapped them, but now they were a family of four, happily teasing each other.

He cleared his throat, alerting them to his presence, and was greeted with warm smiles from everyone.

"I apologize for bothering you, but Miss Singhania is here for you and Khushi bhabhi." HP revealed, and Lulu frowned, wondering what Siddharth's girlfriend was doing here, but seeing her parents' serious expression, she knew something had happened.

"Lead her to the garden and serve her refreshments; tell Akash and Payal to accompany her; we will join them in a minute." Arnav instructed, and Hp nodded before walking away.

"What is going on here?" Lulu asked as she took Advay away from Arnav.

"Nothing, so do not worry your little brain about it." Arnav mocked Lulu, who glared at him, causing them to laugh.

"I will be sixteen in two weeks, and yet you two treat me like a child..... We know something is going on, and it is frustrating that you are all shutting us out." Lulu vented her annoyance.

Khushi stroked her cheek while Arnav kissed her forehead.

"Some things are complicated, and you and Kiki are too innocent to be involved...... Do not worry, when everything is finished, we will tell you and Kiki everything, I promise." Lulu sighed in response to what Arnav said.

"I certain it has something to do with that brat." Lulu spoke under her breath, but Arnav and Khushi heard her. "Do not look at me that way because I know she is somehow related to why you have all been feeling the urge lately...... She will not change, and the sooner you all accept this, the better."

Lulu walked away with Advay, and Arnav and Khushi were upset to see her upset because they disliked seeing their children's negative emotions.

"Naina is losing not only her father, but also any relationship she may have with the children." Khushi exclaimed sadly, and Arnav sighed and kissed her forehead.
