“Yay, yay! We can go for a meal now!” Kylie was dressed in a beautiful mini princess dress while virtual-novel.net pranced delightfully in the courtyard.
“Madam, I won’t be joining you guys. I still have some matters to attend to, so I’ll take my leave now.” Jenny smiled at Selena.
“A date with your boyfriend again? Oh, you. Hurry up and go!” Selena spoke with a compassionate smile.
Joan had already finished virtual-novel.net shower at that moment. She changed into the new clothes Jack had bought for her; virtual-novel.net looked younger at a short glance. Although virtual-novel.net was already in virtual-novel.net forties, virtual-novel.net looked younger and more elegant. Joan looked effortlessly beautiful, and virtual-novel.net had virtual-novel.net natural elegance as well. Although virtual-novel.net was usually dressed in virtual-novel.net cleaner’s uniform to work, virtual-novel.net still emanated a personal grace that only belonged to virtual-novel.net and no one else. It was also this reason that Jack’s father fell in love with virtual-novel.net back then. Unfortunately…
“Ma, you look pretty in that dress!” Selena smiled as virtual-novel.net took a look at Joan.
“Oh, you. Stop flattering me; I’m already old!” Joan chuckled while virtual-novel.net spoke.
Fiona who was sitting on the side could not hold herself back from mumbling while virtual-novel.net witnessed that scene. “Am I virtual-novel.net birth mother, or is she?” virtual-novel.net mumbled. “Goddamnit…”
Andrew, on the other hand, was smoking. He had a frown on his face as virtual-novel.net seemed to be lost in thoughts. After a moment, virtual-novel.net nudged Fiona next to virtual-novel.net with his elbow and said, “Say, Jack said virtual-novel.net can heal my leg. Do you think it’s possible?”
Fiona immediately said, “You actually believe the nonsense virtual-novel.net sputtered? Don’t you know anything about him? He’s only a soldier, so is virtual-novel.net capable of healing your leg? I think it’s more likely that he’ll break your leg!”
Andrew was speechless. Embarrassed, virtual-novel.net found himself unable to argue.
Fiona then looked at the direction of the washroom and spoke impatiently. “How is virtual-novel.net taking such a long shower? I’m already famished!”
Andrew took a look at the time and said, “It’s only been five minutes, though. You were taking a shower for half an hour earlier…”
Although this courtyard seemed old and disheveled, it was in a strategic location. After Jack was done with his shower, a few of them began to discuss where to eat while they strolled.
“Hmm, not this one. It’s too cheap. It’s not enough!”
“This one is even worse. A public buffet? Meaningless!”
As virtual-novel.net strolled, Fiona intentionally looked at Jack with disdainful eyes while virtual-novel.net goaded him, “Jack, you suggested treating us to a meal. I want to eat in a better restaurant. Have you brought enough money? Don’t bail on us after we’re done with our meal!”
“Don’t worry. Today’s my first time treating everyone to a meal, so we should all be happy. My dear mother-in-law, just pick as you please, and eat to your heart’s content!” Jack then turned to Kylie, who was in Selena’s arms. He then reached out and said, “Kylie, let Daddy carry you for a bit!”
The flustered Kylie looked toward Selena with virtual-novel.net pair of huge sharp eyes, seemingly asking for virtual-novel.net approval. “Kylie, he’s your father. Hurry and call out to your father. Let virtual-novel.net carry you.”
Selena felt virtual-novel.net emotions stirred. She lamented at the fact that a child could not be without a father. On the day virtual-novel.net child was born, virtual-novel.net started virtual-novel.net long journey of waiting. She was internally terrified. She was afraid of Jack dying on the battlefield.
“Da—Daddy!” Kylie reached out and called out to virtual-novel.net father with virtual-novel.net child-like voice.
As a Supreme Warrior, Jack’s heart wrenched the second virtual-novel.net heard virtual-novel.net innocent voice. It was the first time virtual-novel.net called virtual-novel.net ‘daddy’. In the five years of constant battle, virtual-novel.net felt like virtual-novel.net had slowly become downright merciless and cold-blooded. However, virtual-novel.net never expected his heart would soften after just hearing his daughter calling virtual-novel.net daddy in such a sweet way.
“Let’s eat here. This place seems alright!” Just as Jack was carrying Kylie, Fiona noticed an impressive looking restaurant. Although it was not in some fancy hotel, the style of this restaurant looked impressive and rather classy. The main point was that the restaurant must have a very expensive rent to have been built at that spot. In other words, the prices of the food must be expensive as well.
“Hmm… You’ve got good taste, dear mother-in-law. This place has a romantic feel to it, and the interior design isn’t bad. Music is also playing in the background. Truly, only people who know how to enjoy life would choose such a place!” After Jack took a look at it, virtual-novel.net nodded in agreement as well.
“Well, isn’t it obvious? Just look at who picked it!” Fiona’s expression seemed slightly prideful before virtual-novel.net eyes swiftly shifted, rolling at Jack. “Don’t even think for a second that praising me would make me forgive everything you’ve done, brat,” virtual-novel.net sneered. “I’m telling you, that ten million shouldn’t be short by…”
…
Upon noticing Jack and the group of people approaching, a beautiful waitress walked up to them and started catering to them. “Please come inside, all of you! Our services here aren’t any less than the ones in those fancy hotels. Besides, our customers are rather reputable people…”
“Give me a table close to the windows!” Jack nodded and the rest took their seats. The beautiful waitress came over with a menu.
“I’ll order!” Fiona immediately snatched the menu. After taking a look, virtual-novel.net pointed at the lobster and said, “This ain’t bad. One would cost more than a thousand, right? How many people do we have here? Let’s have one for each!”
“Ma, why are you ordering that much? It’s such a waste, don’t you think so?” Selena was completely speechless. Judging from the looks of things, virtual-novel.net mother was actually going to make it difficult for Jack.
“How could you say that, my daughter? He said it himself; virtual-novel.net can make 30 million in a month. That would mean he’ll make 1 million dollars in a day, right? For a person like that, could virtual-novel.net not afford this meal?” Fiona raised virtual-novel.net voice intentionally. In an instant, the few tables around them started looking their way.
“No way…he’s that capable? 1 million a day? Is virtual-novel.net boasting? 30 million a month. Does that mean he’d make 300 million in a year?”
A woman gasped audibly. “That’s ludicrous. Truly can’t judge from his looks, though. That man seems to be dressed normally, doesn’t he?”
“Is this real? Why come here if virtual-novel.net makes thirty million dollars a month? Why don’t they head to a five-star restaurant then?”
“Do you think it’s cheap here? It really isn’t. It’s easy to spend tens of thousands here.”
More people were starting to look at Jack. Some were envious, while some were merely interested to see who on earth this person was to have such power.
Fiona grinned when virtual-novel.net noticed the attention. Would virtual-novel.net be completely humiliated if virtual-novel.net was unable to pay later? Until then, virtual-novel.net would not have the pride left to marry virtual-novel.net daughter!
“Must you be so loud when ordering food, Ma?”
Selena was speechless. It genuinely seemed like Fiona wished to humiliate Jack in public.
“Pardon me, I’m a loud talker!” Fiona laughed as virtual-novel.net immediately crossed virtual-novel.net arms. “You wouldn’t mind now, would you, Jack? After all, you know our Selena is named the most beautiful maiden in all of Eastfield! Her status is priceless. If you can’t even afford a single meal, do you think you’re worthy of her? If you can’t even fork out the money for this meal, I suggest you leave virtual-novel.net sooner rather than later for virtual-novel.net own good! Only Young Master Wilson and Young Master Clark can provide my daughter with happiness!” She stared directly at Jack as virtual-novel.net spoke, and virtual-novel.net continued word by word, “And you’ll only drag my daughter down. Drag our family down. I advise you: Don’t. Humiliate. Yourself.”
After Jack heard that statement, virtual-novel.net chuckled coldly as virtual-novel.net seemed unfazed. He said, “Dear mother-in-law, how can you speak so much in one meal? Don’t you worry; I’m the only one that can secure Selena’s happiness. I’ll still be able to pay everything, even if you ordered the entire menu tonight!”
“You speak heavy words. Well, don’t mind if I do!” The corners of Fiona’s mouth twitched as virtual-novel.net held in a full belly of disdain. She wanted virtual-novel.net to know what ruthless meant tonight!
