While Ivanka held her son with one arm and dragged her luggage with another, she quickly continued walking. She only came back to pray at the tomb of her elder sister. Today was her sister's death anniversary.
Brian gave an indicating glance at the two men behind him. One of the men took the luggage out of Ivanka's hand and said, "Miss Ivanka, let me help you to carry the luggage."
The other man took her son, held him in his arms, and said, "Hi, wimpy kid, let uncle take you for a ride!"
Brian then approached her and carried Ivanka on his shoulder. He lugged her toward the Audi military car.
With her head upside down and on Brian's shoulder, Ivanka felt so uncomfortable that she couldn't even let out a scream. She had no choice but to let Brian carry her into the military car.
"Go!" demanded Brian to his comrade. Brian took his son from his comrade's arms and then held Ivanka's wrist tightly.
Ivanka took a breath and rested for a moment until she didn't feel dizzy anymore. Then, she took out her phone from her pocket and yelled, "I must call the police! You're kidnapping us!"
"Please dial 911. Do as you wish!" Brian said. He obviously didn't care and just held his son in his arms.
He finally fulfilled his grandfather's wish of having a son of his own at the age of thirty-one years old!
Ivanka gritted her teeth and put down her phone. She tried to dissuade him and said, "Sir, you mistook me for another person. That is my son, and I don't know you!"
Brian then said, "You are Ivanka Yi, and you are twenty-one years old. Three years ago, when you were eighteen, you had been forced to take a drug. Then, you escaped and slipped into another man's room... I was the man in that room."
"Shut up!" Ivanka shouted. Hearing the tittering sound from the front seats, Ivanka's face flushed bright red.
Brian kept his eyes on his son, Lyman, who had the same smile as he did. Lyman asked, "Are you really my father?"
"Yes, of course!" said Brian in an affirmative tone. 'My genes are indeed powerful. Look! My son really resembles me! Needless to doubt, this is my son!' Brian thought to himself.
The soldier sitting on the front passenger seat turned his head around, smiled at Ivanka, and said, "Miss Ivanka, our leader has been looking for you for three years. When you booked your flight ticket, that's when he found out where you were."
Hearing his words, Ivanka shifted her eyes to Brian and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Brian actually saved her life three years ago, but she had paid for it with her virginity.
"To get married!" Brian simply threw out those words to her, and he went on to play with his son.
The car stopped. When Ivanka saw where they were, she ran away at once.
Brian passed his son to his comrade and ran after Ivanka to stop her.
Then, Brian dragged her to go inside the Civil Affairs Bureau.
He had someone in the Civil Affairs Bureau prepare things for him. Everything was ready. All that was missing was Ivanka.
Brian held her hand aggressively and placed her in front of the camera to be photographed. Then, he forced her to sign her name on the marriage certificate. Finally, the certificate was stamped with a seal!
Things went so smoothly that, in just five minutes, their marriage was already legitimate.
Ivanka nearly came broke down when she saw the marriage certificate in her hands. She came back to honor her elder sister's memory, not get married!
"From now on, you are already a military officer's wife. If you're not loyal to me, or if I am not loyal to you, we both shall bear the respective criminal consequences!" Finishing his words, Brian put the marriage certificate into his pocket and held his son back in his arms. They were going home.
Ivanka really wanted to tear the certificate into pieces and wondered why she must marry this man. There were no flowers, no rings, and not even a proposal!
She was so furious that she wanted to punch him!
"Go ahead! If you don't move, I will come help you!" Brian didn't want to speak any more nonsense. He put his son back into the car and then went to carry this reluctant woman on his shoulder again.
But Ivanka had already learned her lesson, so she hastily followed and went in the military car.
Brian brought Ivanka and his son to his apartment. He said, "You and our son will stay here from now on. Now, go and get ready. We are going to visit my grandfather!"
Brian thought he might have the chance to see Janet again if they went right now!
"Can I say no?" Ivanka looked at Brian with a miserable look.
Lyman was ignorant about his mother's self-esteem. He wrapped his arms around Brian's legs and asked, "Daddy, will you forever be my father?"
Brian held his son up in his arms and nodded. "Yes, of course!" he said.
