When Adam saw his daughter standing at the door of the living room, his smile became gentler.
He was called Hell-king in the army, but when facing his wife and daughter, he showed his tenderest side.
Adam smiled and said, "The lazy kitty finally woke up!"
Anthea sniffed and waved to Crystal with a smile. "Lil Star, what are you doing there? Erik is here. Come and sit!"
Crstal had been lively and clever since he was a child, but now she nodded and walked towards the sofa slowly.
She deliberately sat a little further away from him.
Even so, Erik's presence was still so intense that it was impossible to ignore. In particular, his masculine scent was floating in the air, causing Crystal's heart to beat faster and faster.
Crystal licked her lips. "Erik."
"Hi!" Erik revealed a smile.
In the sunlight, his smile was like a warm breeze in early spring, lingering and sweet.
Crystal clenched her hand even tighter.
Erik said, "Mom and Dad, I'm sorry. I haven't come to see you for years!"
Anthea said, "Never mind. It's the happiest thing that we can sit together again! Erik, thank you for being willing to come back!" "You're my parents forever!" Erik said seriously.
Anthea and Adam looked at each other and felt gratified and touched at the same time.
From the day Erik was adopted from the orphanage, he regarded them as his biological parents. Their love for him was unrestrained, and he had never forgotten it. It could be seen from the fact that he still used the surname "Chin".
However, there was one more important reason.
Erik glanced at the girl who was a little far away from him. After pausing for two seconds, he continued to talk with a smile, "I was supposed to come back with Lil Star, but I was busy in the army and just have been approved an annual holiday!"
Upon hearing this, Crystal felt a little guilty, and her little face drooped even lower.
Anthea said, "It doesn't matter. We are still happy! We can celebrate new year together!" Because of Erik's returning after so many years, the atmosphere in the family was
lively and warm.
Anthea noticed that Crystal had her head lowered, looking much quieter than usual. She asked in surprise, "Lil Star, why are you so quiet? Didn't you and Erik meet again in Francis a long time ago and live together all the time? Why are you so shy when you see him at home now?"
Crystal seemed to have been seen through.
She suddenly stood up and said urgently, "I'm not!"
Then she realized that she overreacted.
Seeing that her parents were looking at her in surprise, she felt extremely embarrassed. She tried to change the topic. "Cough, mum, dad, I'm so hungry. Get me something to eat!"
Adam was always loving to his daughter. When he heard her words, he immediately stood up and walked towards kitchen.
Erik also got up. "Dad, I will help you!"
The two men went to the kitchen together.
In the room it was as warm as spring, especially at noon, the strongest sunlight warmed up everyone.
The air exhauster in the kitchen was buzzing.
Behind the glass door, stood two tall and stalwart figures.
Although Erik had no blood relationship with Adam, he had inherited Adam's powerful aura. Although both of them wore military uniforms and aprons, holding spatulas in their hands, they were not feminine at all, but like generals commanding thousands of troops.

Hate deception and Abby and Dylan take the cake ,ugh...
NO!!! Tina belongs with Wilson…. Let Dylan and Abby get together...
Wow, once again the villain messes up the true love, Abby needs to go back abroad. And Tina’s true identity as the daughter of Bill Ambrey needs to be exposed! Then the families can “convenience marry” !! Abby is a witch....
Too bad Wilson can’t figure out that his and Tina’s ex’s and his cousin Desmond are conniving creeps!...
Anthea is so stupid, lying and leaving the man who loves her more than life itself. 🤬...
She deserves to be unhappy, being with someone she doesn’t love because of resentment for the exact thing she is doing, hopefully she ends up with no one. Calvin is a wimp and doesn’t love her, just wants a wife to please his family....
So the same basic story as Simon and Addy but stupid Emily is going to marry him! What a hypocrite! Ugh...
Emily gets more stupid every chapter, when did she pickup Calvin as a fiancé!!?? This story line is awful….very sad to do to Simon what she “thought” he had done but didn’t. She is truly a dumb woman. Simon never loved or really even cared for Addy….what the hell is she doing with someone she doesn’t even know or like/love. Awful 😢...
Emily is a fool, don’t let go of the man who truly loves you. Let go of the past, of which he did nothing but help someone who saved his life, and be happy with him… he is your soulmate....
Nothing like cutting off your nose to spite your face Emily. Just stupid! Ugh 😩...
