When they were in the prime of their youths, she met Hale Kyle in a garden of cherry blossoms on Rana Mountain. They recalled that they both knew that they wanted to marry each other at that moment.
Fate was just so wonderful. They met each other by chance on that mountain, and then they became inseparable partners ever since.
Mama Kyle and Papa Kyle looked at each other at the same time and smiled at each other. No words were needed between them to understand each other.
......
Kevin Kyle and Karen Daly were busy greeting the guests. They looked as gorgeous as figures in a beautiful painting, but in reality, Karen was actually very worried.
Today, there were a lot of changes in their house. There were too many people and decorations. Karen Daly was afraid that Kevin Kyle would bump into something, so she followed him everywhere he went. She was ready to help him whenever needed.
However, Kevin Kyle was not nervous at all. He was able to recognize the guests by their voices and greeted them politely. No one noticed that he almost couldn't see anything.
This year was Little Karen's first birthday celebration. He could not see how happy his little princess was, nor could he see how beautiful she was dressed. As Little Karen's father, he felt somewhat regretful.
But it didn't matter. If he could not see things clearly for this year's celebration, he would wait for next year's, or even the year after. He would hold a birthday party for Little Karen every year.
"Kevin." Karen Daly tugged his sleeve gently and said in a low voice, "I think we greeted most of them already. Go in and take a rest for a while."
Kevin Kyle patted her back and smiled as usual. "Don't worry."
How could she not be worried, what if...
"Little Karen, your uncle hasn't arrived yet. How can your birthday party start?"
Karen Daly wanted to say something, but the voice of Neil Brown suddenly came from outside the house. When everyone looked over, he had already stepped into the house.
Neil Brown was not married, and he had no girlfriend. He was the bachelor of dreams for many young ladies in Chatterton Town. He was the rarest diamond among the pool of diamonds, admired by many young ladies from the upper class in the city.
There were so many women who wanted to be with him. However, as he was in the military region all year round and he did not have many family members, he rarely attended such occasions. Many people wanted to approach him, but they didn't know how to.
Therefore, as soon as Neil Brown appeared, many pairs of eyes were fixed on him. The young ladies wanted to get close with him, and the older ones wanted to fix their daughters up with him. Due to his single status, Neil Brown's popularity won over Kevin Kyle's.
"Why are you all looking at me? Do I look funny?" Neil Brown said rudely.
If Kevin Kyle exuded timeless elegance, then Neil Brown had the perfect bad-boy persona. He was the commander of the Military Region, and he appeared to be ruthless.
Those who didn't know who he was would think of him as a gang member who would scare children off.
"Uncle!" Although Neil Brown could definitely frighten a kid, Little Karen liked him very much.
Maybe she was influenced by her aunt, but every time she saw her uncle, she always wanted to stick with him.
"Ha... you little girl, you really love your father very much. They say that every daughter had been her father's lover in his past life. Looking at your father's love for you all these years, I am starting to believe in that saying." Neil Brown said while pinching Little Karen's face.
He was a person who had been living in the military region all year round. The people around him were all tough and ruthless men. Usually, they were people who handled real guns and explosives. He accidentally pinched Little Karen's face a bit too hard, which caused a red spot on her face.
"Ouch!" Little Karen turned her face away and cried out in grievance.
"Little darling, I'm sorry!" When Neil Brown was talking, he suddenly felt that there was a cold gaze staring at him from behind. He turned around and saw a thin and tall figure from not far away.
The boy's eyes were fixed on him as if he was looking at Neil Brown like an enemy.
They looked into each other's eyes seriously.
"Brother Lionel—"
"Oh, it's Brother Lionel." Neil Brown smiled and nodded to Lionel.
He heard that Little Karen had saved an injured boy before, but he had never met him. Now, it seemed that this boy was not a simple boy at all.
Seeing a stranger carrying Little Karen away, Lionel followed him silently. When he saw that Little Karen was fine, he quietly retreated to a corner.
"Little girl, let me teach you how to play with guns." Neil Brown did not play by gender rules or stereotypes. He would always see or treat little children like boys when he played with them, and Mia Kyle was raised by him this way.
