Jacob blinked his eyes in disbelief. When he was sure that the man in front of him was really his father, he immediately turned around and pouted. He hated his father the most now.
Looking at his empty hand, Noel knew that his son was angry. He reached out and held his little shoulder, "Jacob, you're angry with dad, right?" It was supposed to be three days, but he was a week late. It was normal for his son to be mad.
Still, Jacob didn't want to talk to him. He pouted and patted his mommy. He didn't want to play with his daddy.
Yvonne was woken up by her son. She opened her eyes and saw Noel. She was a little stunned and hurriedly got out of bed. "I'll go to see if your clothes are dry!"
When his mommy left the bed, Jacob buried his head directly in the pillow. Noel stretched out his hand and pulled him out of the bed, held him in his arms, and kissed him on his little face. "I'm sorry. Daddy suddenly has a mission to do, so I had to break my promise. Next time, Daddy won't do it again, okay?"
"Daddy is a liar!" Jacob still didn't want to talk to his father. He had been waiting for three days, but his father didn't show up. He was really hurt.
It was not good to be called a liar by his son, but he couldn't explain what he had done to his son. He could not tell his son that he had been on the edge of death this week, and that his hand was covered with blood again this week.
Noel held Jacob's little body and said, "Jacob, when you grow up, you will understand that wearing this uniform is the beginning of breaking your promise." He couldn't tell them where he had gone and when he would be gone. Therefore, soldiers rarely gave promise to their love ones, because they knew they couldn't keep it.
Yvonne came in with his clothes and happened to hear what Noel just said. She had written a military marriage related novels and did a lot of research. Jacob might not understand, but she knew what he meant.
She slowly passed the clothes to him and whispered, "Your clothes."
Noel looked up at her. It seemed that this woman didn't dare to look at him all the time. Was he too unpleasant to be watched?
He took the clothes over, let go of his son and put them on directly. Jacob looked at Noel as he put on the military uniform. Although he knew a lot, he didn't understand why his father broke his promise. But now he actually felt sorry for his father.
Noel buttoned up his clothes, bent down and picked up his son from the bed. He looked at Yvonne and said, "Pack your stuff, let's go back!"
"What?" Yvonne thought, 'Where to go?' She didn't want to go back to C city anymore. It took her a lot of courage to go back before. As a result, she almost lost her son, and got herself this domineering man, and even completely broke the relationship with her father. Looking at Noel's face, she couldn't help but retreat into her shell again, "This is my home!" She didn't want to go anywhere but stayed here. Although the education facilities were not quite satisfying, her son was so smart that he wouldn't care about it.
Noel choked his words as he heard what Yvonne said. Why did she take it for granted? How come this was her home?
"Yvonne Ye, don't let me say it twice, or you know the consequences." Noel was a team leader, so he was used to giving orders.
Yvonne frowned. Although she didn't live a good life these years, no one had ever spoken to her in a commanding tone. After this person appeared in her life, he didn't ever talk to her friendly. It was really annoying.
"As I said, this is my home. I'm not your property. You have no right to order me!"
Jacob blinked and looked at his mommy, and then at his daddy. Was daddy a silly man? At this time, he should try to please his mommy. Why did he make his mommy angry?
Holding his mother's hand, he looked up at Noel and said, "This is our home." He would go wherever his mommy went.
Looking at the mother and son, Noel knew that Yvonne was timid, but she was so good at it when she wanted to go against his order. And Jacob, his mommy was always his first priority.
"Yvonne, are you up?" Margaret outside was calling her. Normally, Yvonne had already got up and done the chores at this time.
"Margaret, I'm up." Yvonne said in a hurry, and then looked at Noel, "You should leave now." Then she walked outside.
Jacob pursed his lips. Actually, he liked his father very much. He took his mother to C city because of his father, but his mother didn't seem to like him very much. What should he do?
Seeing his son frowning and looking at him, Noel felt distressed. This woman was so stubborn.
"Daddy, you can't chase a woman in this way. You have been ordering Mommy all the time. Mommy won't like you that way." Jacob showed his contempt for his father.
Noel's lips twitched. 'You're a four-year-old boy, are you teaching your father to chase after women?' He bent down and picked up Jacob. "Then tell me how to chase your mother."
