Chapter 3: Rainbow After the Rain!
1309 Words
"Buzz..."
In the next moment, three cars disappeared in the pouring rain!
And Hugo Kent's body became numb...
Although he had so many words to say, he didn't know how to speak them out!
That feeling was heartbreaking!
Summer rain came quickly, poured heavily, and stopped quickly!
Olive Kent, for the first time, enjoyed the treatment of being protected by a man. Even if her whole body was soaking wet, her heart felt warm!
"Sir, look... It's a rainbow!"
Her thoughts were innocent, and she didn't know why her mother's boss framed her, but at this moment, looking at the colorful rainbow light in the sky washed away all the unhappiness, "It's so beautiful!"
It was a pretended happiness because she didn't like being pointed and judged by others.
"Yes!"
"It's a rainbow!"
Hugo Kent's voice choked with emotion, "Seeing a rainbow after the storm means that you will be happy in the future."
He would never leave again!
The battle in the northern frontier was coming to an end!
He had already shown his loyalty to the country, and now he had to protect his daughter with all his time left!
"Will it be?"
There was doubt in Olive's eyes. Then, she looked up and mustered up the courage to say, "But I still have a small wish, can... can you help me with it?"
Help?
Hugo's body felt like it was struck by lightning and he froze instantly, "What do you want me to do?"
Even if it meant taking out his heart, he would do it!
As long as it could compensate for the guilt in his heart...
But he knew that no matter how much he tried to repay the debt, it could never be enough!
Perhaps because of excitement, her tone became a little urgent.
Olive Kent, who was already nervous, clenched her hands tightly. The award certificate in her hand had long been soaked and almost turned into pulp.
She had taken a step back, but she didn't know where her courage came from. She raised her head and said hesitantly, "I want you to pretend to be my father!"
"I received the 'Good Child' award again, and there will be a parent-teacher meeting tomorrow. I don't want them to laugh at me being an unwanted child!"
"Of... of course... If you agree, I will reward you!"
Reward?
What kind of reward?
But Olive still extended her hand, holding up the lollipop, and eagerly said, "This was given to me as a reward by my teacher!"
Hugo's heart was completely touched. This should be his daughter, giving him the most precious reward, right?
He was dumbfounded!
A surge of sorrow welled up, and he was speechless!
Seeing the unfamiliar person in front of him keeping silent, Olive's heart sank to the bottom as she said apologetically, filled with humility, "I'm sorry..."
With a final apology, she lowered her head in disappointment and prepared to leave.
"I..."
As Hugo Kent reacted, he couldn't wait to speak...
However, at that moment, a woman in her fifties, wearing a sanitation worker's uniform, walked over angrily, "Let go of Olive!"
Hugo turned his head instantly and looked at the furious woman who swiftly walked through the crowd. That was his mother-in-law, Ida Wright, who treated him like her own son!
Ten years ago, his mentor was chased and severely injured by enemies but saved him with his life. When he fell into the streets of River City, he fell unconscious in the pouring rain.
It was Sharon Clare who brought him home and saved him, and then Ida Wright took the lead and welcomed him as a son-in-law.
When he saw his mother-in-law again, his heart trembled with excitement.
But he could never go back to the past!
However, he still subconsciously spoke, "Mom..."
However, before the words could come out, Ida Wright, who was angry, snatched Olive from his arms and said, "Shut up!"
"Olive, let's go home!"
"He... He's a bad person, you can't be together with him!"
She only knew that the son-in-law she had chosen had heartlessly abandoned the pregnant Sharon Clare when their family was banished.
Because of this, she held a deep grudge in her heart. No matter how Sharon explained, she refused to believe it.
It was all because her daughter was too kind-hearted!
Hugo Kent looked at Ida, who had taken care of him so much in the past but now treated him as an enemy, and swallowed back the words that were about to be spoken.
"Grandma, this man... This man is a good person!"
Olive Kent, who was usually timid, courageously spoke up for Hugo.
"A good person?"
"If he is a good person, then there are no bad people in the whole world!"
Ida Wright trembled with anger and shouted, "Don't come near Olive again, otherwise, I will die with you!"
Hugo Kent understood his mother-in-law's anger, but he still spoke, "I..."
"Smack..."
Without saying a word, Ida Wright slapped him directly.
Hugo Kent lowered his head!
If it were someone else, they would never be hit in the face!
But it was his mother-in-law who took action, so he didn't dodge!
Even though Sharon Clare betrayed their marriage, he could never forget his mother-in-law's kindness!
"Let's go!"
Ida forcibly held her granddaughter's hand and, with a cold gaze staring at a conscienceless Hugo, turned and left!
Olive turned around and looked back at Hugo with reluctance written all over her face.
Heartbroken, Hugo wanted to say something but stopped himself. He understood that it wouldn't be easy for his mother-in-law to accept him again!
Everything needed time to buffer!
But at the next moment, Olive held up the lollipop in her left hand, bit her lip lightly, and looked at him with longing in her eyes.
Hugo understood the message in her eyes. His daughter was inviting him to attend the parent-teacher meeting tomorrow, and he nodded enthusiastically!
Olive smiled. Everything was understood without words!
Perhaps, this was the special understanding between father and daughter! When the mother-in-law left with her daughter...
With a cold expression, Hugo Kent took out his phone and said coldly, "Within five minutes, I want the location of Neil Eden from the Zealous Club!"
That's right!
What he wanted was the location!
As for the background?
Just a joke!
He had the biggest background in Zanokar!
After the message was sent, it instantly alarmed the richest man in River City!
Dylan Hume lowered his head in fear and bowed repeatedly on the phone, "Yes sir!"
"I will handle this matter, I... I will go to the Zealous Club now!"
After the phone was hung up, he became exhausted!
Who did Neil Eden, that bastard, offend?
How could it make the First God of War in Zanokar dial his phone personally?
But it was too late to consider, he hurriedly shouted, "Prepare the car quickly!"
...
At the Zealous Club, the place was lively with singing and dancing, full of cheers and joy!
Neil Eden, who suffered a big loss, cursed while rushing into the luxury private room, "Go and bring that b***h Sharon Clare here. Damn it, she rejected me again and again, and now she wants to borrow money from me for that little bastard's treatment?"
"That little bastard is just as despicable as her!"
Unaware of the disaster approaching, Neil Eden was full of anger and wanted to vent all the grievances he suffered at the school entrance to Sharon Clare.
When Sharon, dressed in a club skirt, received the notification, her perfect and flawless face was filled with worries.
What did Neil Eden want now?
But for the high treatment fees for her daughter, she had to take a deep breath, grit her teeth, and prepare to endure humiliation as she walked towards the luxury private room...
