“I wouldn’t apologize! It’s all her fault! If it wasn’t for her, would you have left? Lucus, have you forgotten that? You once said you would be in the military for the rest of your life. You said you would fight with us for the rest of our lives, but what is it now? You left us for a woman and reneged on our oath. You are a bastard!”
Michele burst into tears.
Morty was a little angry.
“Michele, apologize.”
“Dad, do you also think it’s my fault?”
Michele had really been in a particularly low mood lately and was particularly vulnerable to stimulation.
Morty saw his daughter secretly shed tears in her room more than once, and he was distressed too, but he knew that whether Lucus stayed or not was actually his personal choice. He didn’t need to be responsible to anyone.
Michele was forcing him to do what he was unwilling to do.
She did this because she liked Lucus, but the more she did it this way, the farther away Lucus was from her.
Morty had mixed feelings in his heart.
Lucus said coldly, “I regard you as my sister, but my sister can’t be so unruly. Besides, any decision I make has nothing to do with Yasmeen. It’s not right for you to vent your anger on her because of me, not to mention you even hit her. Michele, have I spoiled you like this these years? If so, it’s my fault. I’ll certainly reflect on it in the future and hope you stay away from me. After all, a teacher like me can’t teach good students, so as not to bring shame on you and your family.”
His remarks were too harsh. Although he didn’t mention Morty’s name, he cursed him as well.
Morty can’t help but feel a little embarrassed.
“Lucus, Michele is spoiled by me. I apologize to Yasmeen.”
Morty smiled and looked at Yasmeen.
Although Yasmeen was not willing to let Lucus leave here because of her, it was their own business. It had nothing to do with others. No one had the right to question them, not to mention Michele even hit her, which made her very angry.
Now Morty was the elder. It seemed that he respected her by personally apologizing to her. But this was trying to suppress her by making use of his identity.
If she accepted his apology, she was bound to feel aggrieved, but if she didn’t, the people present would probably think she had no sense to appreciate favours and had caused trouble for Lucus.
Yasmeen was in a complicated mood and heard Lucus say faintly, “Yasmeen is a foreign princess. She has been arrogant, domineering and self-willed since childhood. Even if she likes me, she doesn’t need to wrong herself. That’s not her nature. So, Mr. Morty, you don’t need to apologize to Yasmeen. It is Michele who needs to apologize. Anyway, she hit Yasmeen. You can’t do that for her. If so, can I ask my dad to apologize if I hit Michele?”
As soon as Lucus said these, Michele’s face was white as a sheet.
Lucus directly did the same thing that Morty had done to him, regardless of the affection between their families for so many years.
Michele felt sad.
“Lucus, my father is at least your elder. Are you talking to my father like this for an outsider?”
“The outsider you mentioned is my girlfriend, my family. You should know that I am willing to cover my people’s mistakes. No matter what Yasmeen did is right or wrong, as long as I think she is happy, even if she pokes a hole in the sky, I am still happy to spoil her and let her do that. No one else has the right to say anything to her! Do you understand?”
At that moment, Michele thought Lucus was so unfamiliar to her.
The Lucus she knew had always been calm, silent, detached. He wouldn’t pay much attention to anyone and seemed to be good to everyone. He had never defended someone like this.

What is it with Chinese authors.
