“Alright, go ahead.”Sean nodded. He reached out his hand and gave Candy’s little face a pinch.“Uncle Sean, look what I’ve brought for you!”After watching her mother leave, Candy sneakily took out two Tootsie Rolls and placed them carefully into Sean’s hand.“These are little treats from my teacher today, and I saved them up for you!”Candy lifted her little head and said it with an adorable yet solemn tone.Sean froze for a while, his hands trembled slightly as he caressed Candy’s little head.Two miserable years.It was all it took for Sean to experience how rare and precious it was to be held dear and remembered by someone else.Children were not usually ill-willed.The care she had for Sean was genuine.“Uncle Sean, mommy said you’re all better now.“What illness did you have?”Candy, as she was leaning into Sean’s embrace asked innocently.Sean chuckled as he nodded, then he answered her solemnly.“Last time, Uncle Sean had forgotten some things.“But now, I’ve r
Rachel Summer’s tone of voice was tinged with sadness.“Okay, okay, I know you’d still want to wait for that Commander of yours, right?“Well… I don’t think you have to dwell on that dilemma too long. Who knows? Maybe after you’re back, you’d meet him somewhere while you’re walking on the streets?“It’s true what people say, ‘if you want to hide for a while, hide in the woods, but if you wanna hide for a long time, hide in the cities’.”Willow consoled Rachel softly as she meant what she said with all seriousness.“I know, Willow.“Let’s not talk more about this. When I’m back, I’ll eat from your hand, yea!”Rachel was silent for a while before she waved her hands slightly and joked.“No problem. I now manage the subbranch!“When you’re back, I’ll be sure to give you a job.”Willow answered with feigned arrogance as she chirped happily.“Wow! I’ll be sure to go to you then!”Rachel wowed Willow and they both hung up after that.Just as Willow placed her phone down, she tho
“My son is so precious that no one has ever laid even a finger on him since he was born. So, how dare a cripple’s daughter hit him?“I’ve gotta let all of you know that no one can even touch a single hair on my son’s body!”Mr. Lowe huffed coldly, picked up his cup of tea, and took a sip.Haughty disdain filled the faces of the little boy and his mother.The few teachers that were in the office looked at how arrogant this family of three is and frowned.They were displeased with the aggressive, unforgiving attitude displayed by them.However, what could they dare say if Principal Leed herself was so polite and courteous to Mr. Lowe?“No room for discussion?”Sean Lennon looked at Mr. Lowe and spoke faintly.“Who are you to have any discussion with me?”Mr. Lowe glanced at Sean’s wheelchair and snickered arrogantly, aggressively, unforgivingly.“Okay.”Sean nodded slightly. “Let’s… not discuss it then.”As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Candy gently before him.“C
Beating her at her own game.Giving her a taste of her own medicine.The moment Sean finished speaking, silence filled the office once again.That was exactly what Principal Leed said, just a few moments ago.In merely a few seconds, Sean had fed Principal Leed her own words.Principal Leed cradled her face, dumbfounded. The other teachers that were present were shocked to the core.Mr. Lowe and his family stared with bulging eyes.They wanted to say something in return, but they were at a loss for words.All of them had thought that the reason Sean asked Candy and her mother to leave was that he did not want to apologize to Mr. Lowe right in front of Candy since for a parent to apologize to others right in front of their child, was an affront to their dignity.It was only then that they realized, the only reason Sean asked for them to leave was that he did not want Candy to see him in action!“You slapped a woman! How dare you slap a woman?!”Principal Leed was shaking with
“Don’t bite off more than you can chew, young lad!“In the vastness of River City, there are people that you cannot afford to anger.”Mr. Lowe scoffed, his tone was filled with threats.“Forget about River City. Even if it’s the entire world,“There’s no one that I, Sean Lennon cannot afford to anger.“Who do you think you are?”Sean Lennon turned his wheelchair slowly as he closed in on Mr. Lowe.“You! You!”At that moment, a sense of foreboding filled Mr. Lowe’s heart.“I’m a reasonable person.“My child is bitten by the dog that is your child.“You’ve got to give me a reasonable explanation and way forward regarding this matter, right?”Mr. Lowe scoffed. “I’d like to hear what you want from us.”“A hundred thousand dollars of medical compensation fees.“And, a public apology before all the teachers and students of this kindergarten.”Silence filled the office once more.Who knew that everything that Sean had done was to prepare for this moment?Candy, who may be sti
In the two years of Sean Lennon being at the Quinns, there were indeed a few of them who did not regard him with disdain.However, most of the Quinn family thought that Sean was a loser.Initially, even Leah did not expect Sean to be able to solve their problems for them.However, Sean’s actions just now dropped her jaw.Even though it was a little violent…“Sean, thank you…”Leah cupped her hands together and spoke.“No worries.“Even if it wasn’t for me, the Quinn family would be able to settle this as well.”Sean’s expressions were unchanging as he said faintly.“I don’t think so…“My mother-in-law said that it’s a common thing for children to squabble, so I should not expect the Quinn family to stand up for me in every little thing because it’s shameful.”Leah sighed softly as she lamented with Candy in her arms.As a daughter-in-law of the Quinns, she was not in favor without her husband, and for having a daughter that could not carry on their family name.Sean did n
Why would a VIP like that come to a little town like River City?“Sadly, we don’t even know what the VIP’s name is.”Another one of the middle-aged men sighed as she shook his head.For all of them to reach where they were, it was no secret that they were all backed up with support.They either had a mammoth of a corporation behind them, or a certain someone above them.Today, at the same time, all of them had received word from the power behind them that a certain VIP was going to visit River City, and they were to try all they can to establish a relationship with this VIP.However, no one was sure who exactly this VIP was.All they knew were information they had gathered through unconventional means.Even though it was news from unconventional means, it was enough for them to take it seriously.“My higher-ups told me that this VIP is possibly here for a family visit.”“He’s here for an old friend.”A man with glasses spoke softly.“Gasp!”Everyone was shocked.Family vi
His every movement seemed to be able to stir up the surrounding air.If anyone from the Northwest Military District saw this person, they would definitely salute and not dare to slight him.Zander!He was a three-star commander who controlled hundreds of thousands of troops.In the past, he was Sean's personal guard commander, and to Sean, he was absolutely loyal.Zander raised his head and looked at the Quinn residence."This is it."Zander sounded excited."Commander Young, those people have been sent away.""Why don't you go to see them?"The young man was confused and asked softly."You only do things, you don't have to ask.""Also, we have already left the army. Don't call me that anymore in the future."Zander spoke slowly, but there was no doubt in his voice."Yes!"The young man lowered his head and answered. Then he rubbed the tip of his nose and looked around."The people of River City are surely lively. They are watching the moon from the river."Yuan Zheng
