The Mech Touch novel Chapter 4703

Ves returned to the Royal Mansion by himself at the end of the day.

He still thought of all of the gains he made at the LMC's flagship store and the Enlightened Church of Vulcan.

Although his stay in the latter yielded much greater benefits to him, he did not forget about all of the feedback he collected from a diverse sample of customers of his mech company.

He needed to make various changes to his plans and add new items to his agenda if he wanted to act on the new information.

As he entered his mansion and headed into the dining room, his wife along with Lucky appeared to be waiting for his arrival.

"Meow…" The overstuffed cat greeted as he casually laid on the dining table.

"Have you finally returned to reality, Ves?"

He sighed. "Give me a break, Gloriana. I am aware that I interrupted a family moment, but I can make up for it. I saw an opportunity to improve myself and improve the circumstances of one of my daughter organizations, and I took it. You should know as well as I do that we can't always decide when we can achieve a breakthrough or take advantage of a fortuitous set of circumstances."

His wife still didn't look pleased. She crossed her legs and tapped her finger against her other arm while expression continued to express her profound disappointment at his antics.

"You are too whimsical, Ves. This has always been a bad habit of yours, but I have noticed that it has gotten worse in the last few years. It does not take much time and effort to plan your schedule properly and ahead of time. I do not begrudge you for pursuing any opportunities that can advance your work and design philosophy, but is it too much to ask for you to restrict your work to your work hours and devote your leisure time to your family? You are setting an awful example to our children!"

"That's not fair, Gloriana. I am doing my best to show that hard work pays off. Don't forget that it is through my efforts that we can enroll our kids into first-class virtual schools once our refitted Spirit of Bentheim returns from the Vulit Central Star Node."

"That is not relevant to our current discussion! What I am trying to bring to your attention is that your lack of proper planning and impulsive control is disrupting our family time! Sometimes, I have the impression that you are more of a child than Aurelia, Andraste and Marvaine! I have at least done my best to raise them properly and respect the rules that we have set. As for you, Ves, you seem to enjoy breaking the rules whenever you are swayed by your own temptations!"

She was right. Ves did not act like the father today. He lowered his head and accepted her complaints.

Even though he was convinced that all of the gains and improvements he secured during his extensive visit to the Creation Association's association would ultimately improve the circumstances of his lovely little kids, that should not excuse his conduct.

As a father, he should be more mindful of how he spent his time with his children. They grew up so quickly and once they started to study alongside first-raters, they would become so busy with virtual classes and demanding homework that they would have even less time to enjoy their childhood with their mother and father!

Ves slowly approached his wife and sat down on the dining chair next to her own position. He reached out and grasped her small and delicate hand. The warm touch of skin soothed both of their nerves.

"I promise I will do better next time. Our children should never take a backseat. I will make sure to free up extra time in my schedule for the week so that we can go on another fun excursion."

His wife accepted his contrition. "Make certain that you do. I will hold you accountable if you break your promise again. Our children deserve better from you. I deserve better from you. From the moment you chose to become a father, you need to do your utmost to balance your professional responsibilities with your parental responsibilities. I cannot keep cleaning up your messes all of the time."

Once his wife finished admonishing him, she finally gave in to her curiosity and asked about his latest results.

"What did you accomplish earlier today?"

"It's a lot. I never expected to gain so much from working together with a dwarven blacksmith."

He quickly summarized what he had done and also presented his new Hammer of Melody to his wife.

She dubiously picked it up. Though she could tell it was special in a sense, its shape was far too strange and unsuitable for actual metalworking.

"This hammer of yours is dense, but also small. What is it for, exactly? It looks more suitable to be used as a gavel in a courtroom than a smithing hammer in a forge."

Ves grinned and took the hammer back from her grasp. He then proceeded to slam the head of his new hammer against Lucky's back!

Dingggggggg~~~

A surprisingly long and beautiful-sounding metallic chord rang from Lucky's metallic body. The sudden attack along with the strange vibrations coursing through his body spooked the cat out of his wits!

"MEEEOOOW!" _{freēwēbηovel.c૦m}

The tired cat practically jumped from the table and floated just out of the range of Ves' odd hammer. The aggrieved expression on the cat's face showed that Lucky did not appreciate being turned into a drum!

"Meow meow meow meow meow!"

"Oh come on, Lucky. It's not that bad! There's no freaky magic behind it or anything. The fact your body produced such a pleasant sound is good news! It indicates that you are not only intricately put together, but also particularly well-constructed. Would you like me to strike you again at a different angle to see whether you can produce a different tone?"

"Meeeoow!"

The cat flew up to the ceiling and phased through it in order to get away from this utter madman! Right now, Lucky wanted to do nothing more than to head to Andraste's bedroom and cuddle against her warm body.
