She Chose Him Now She Wants Me Back novel Chapter 426

The old man brushed off the people trying to support him and hurried toward Harold without sparing Henry a glance.

“Sir!” he called out, his voice thick with emotion.

Harold paused and looked at him in confusion. “Excuse me, who are—”

“It’s me. Chris!” The thin, elderly man slapped his thigh in excitement. “Sir, don’t you remember me?”

Recognition dawned on Harold’s face. His eyes lit up. “Chris? You’re still alive!”

The group who had accompanied Christopher down the steps went pale. Even in retirement, he commanded enormous respect. Few would dare address him so bluntly.

Henry noticed the middle–aged man standing behind him and stepped forward. “It’s been a while, General Harris.”

Charles Harris inclined his head and shook Henry’s hand. “Mr. Hale.”

The old man’s full name was Christopher Harris. His eye had reddened, and he gripped Harold’s hand tightly. “Sir, if I had known you were here, I would have come to see you long ago.”

During the Ursk War, on a battlefield choked with smoke and fire, Harold had pulled Christopher back from certain death. Christopher had lost an eye in that fight.

Harold patted his shoulder and sighed. “As long as you’re alive, that’s enough. At our age, being able to see each other again is already a blessing.”

Christopher hummed in agreement, then seemed to remember something. He beckoned Charles over. “Sir, look. This is my son. He’s turned out well. If you ever need anything in the future, just say the word.”

Dressed casually, Charles stepped forward at once and shook Harold’s hand. “Mr. Fleming. I’m Charles.”

Christopher stepped forward with a delicate, graceful young woman at his side. She carried herself with quiet poise, almost ethereal in her composure.

“Hello, Mr. Fleming,” she said politely. “My name is Suzy Harris.”

Harold smiled and returned the greeting.

Suzy’s clear, discerning gaze shifted to Dominic. A flicker of curiosity lit her eyes as she studied him in silence.

Dominic had been watching in silence and noticed her attention earlier. Even Henry addressed Christopher as “sit.” The Harris family likely held powerful connections.

The two old comrades lingered in nostalgic conversation for a long while. At last, Christopher took his leave with obvious reluctance.

As the family prepared to depart, Suzy suddenly slipped out of the car. She walked up to Dominic and lowered her voice. “Hey. My grandpa said that if you ever go to the capital, you must look him up. ”

Dominic hesitated, then nodded.

Suzy tilted her head up at him and smiled. She was strikingly pretty

By the time their cars disappeared down the road, night had settled.

Dominic was tidying the house when Isabella approached him. “Honey, it’s so late. We shouldn’t drive back now. Why don’t we just stay the night?”

Dominic frowned.

The house in his hometown was not small, but it had only two bedrooms. He immediately saw through Isabella’s intention.

“Let’s head back,” he said.

He would not allow his former wife to get her way.

Isabella’s gaze shifted. “It’s mainly because Lily doesn’t want to leave.”

Dominic looked up. Outside, Harold was playing with the girl. The old man’s hoarse laughter rang out from time to time, answered by Lilith’s bright giggles.

The bond between grandfather and granddaughter was unmistakable.

Dominic fell silent for a few seconds. “Then we’ll stay the night.”

Isabella’s face brightened, and a triumphant smile spread across her lips.

Later that evening, Dominic sat with his grandfather and talked for a while. When Harold admitted he was tired, Dominic helped him inside and settled him in for the night.
