“Dad, are you kidding me?”
Nicole couldn’t help but laugh.
Who was Xander?
The model of the military, and also the boss of the Don family. He just needed to give a command for anything he wanted to do. There was no need to beg others.
Nicole thought that Xander was joking with her and couldn’t help but sit beside him.
Looking at his daughter, who just looked like himself, Xander suddenly said solemnly, “I really have something to ask you.”
Such a severe expression startled Nicole.
“Dad, what do you want to do?”
“What are you thinking about?”
Xander smiled and stroked Nicole’s head.
He really hoped to see how Nicole grew up. He had mistreated his daughter the most for his life.
Feeling her father’s love, Nicole’s heart suddenly softened a lot.
“Dad, you scared me out of my wits making such a scene suddenly.”
Nicole gazed at Xander petulantly.
It felt pretty good being cherished by her daughter.
Xander said lovingly, “Nicole, the thing I regret the most in my life is that I didn’t get to watch you grow up and be by your side. I was not able to stay in my hometown to take care of your grandmother when I was at my most youthful. I have been loyal to my country all my life, but I have not done my filial duty. The good thing is that you now have Samuel by your side to protect you, even if I’m nothing anymore, you still have someone to fall back on.”
“Dad, why are you saying this again? No one blames you.”
Nicole knew that Xander was having a tough time in his heart.
He had still been alive for so many years, yet he was equivalent to death, not even attending Mrs. Don’s funeral. When William was being framed and persecuted, there was nothing he could do about it. Many people didn’t understand the complex feelings in Xander’s heart, but Nicole did.
She gently hugged Xander and said softly, “Dad, your suffering is all over now. You can live well with mom in the future, and I will be by your side too.”
Xander’s gaze became more and more tender.
It felt so good to have a daughter. And if he could, he would want to live the kind of life Nicole was talking about.
“Promise me, if I die one day, you must take good care of your mum for me.”
“Dad…”
Nicole jerked her head up, looking at him with great surprise.
“What do you want to do?”
“What can I do? My retirement has already been approved, and I’ll be an ordinary person in three days. I’m just afraid that if one day I pass away before your mother. She won’t be able to bear it. She’s a person who has lived her whole life for love. She’s a paranoid. Don’t blame her.”
Xander’s words made Nicole feel that something wasn’t quite right, but she couldn’t find anything wrong.
“Dad, tell me exactly what you want.”
“I just came to see you. After so many years, we haven’t really have a good chat. Also, I haven’t met my two little grandsons yet. Do you have a picture? Let me have a look.”
Hearing what Xander said, Nicole hurriedly took out her phone and found the photos of her two sons and handed them to him.
“Look, aren’t they cute?”

The book is slow....too many words are wasted to explain...need a better translator.......
God I want to read the book but it's freaking annoying, Samuel Green, Nicole Bush, Lucas Bush, Jacob Brown in every line.....I hope this author grows...the book would have been okay but it's affecting my mood...
Does the author have write the full names of the characters all the time...it's annoying...we are reading the book, we know their surnames already.......
What is it with Chinese authors. The characters are slow, he finally opened his mouth, it took him so long just to say two words...the house keeper would have put the person out before he even spoke....is this really how people are over there..the characters are always lost in thought, they might as well live in their heads.....
