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 thought about what had transpired the past two days and subconsciously glanced at the door.
Then, she got up swiftly and stood by Sean’s room door,
“Knock knock!”
She knocked softly.
“Sean, thank you.”
Willow mustered up all her courage and uttered her gratitude towards the door.
The room was quiet for a while before Sean’s voice wafted out of the room.
“Nothing to do with me.
“It all came from your own efforts.”
Willow smiled. She loved this kind of tacit understanding between them.
…
The following day.
Sean drove Candy and her mother to the kindergarten where Candy went to school at.
It was the day where the kindergarten had Candy’s parents informed and had their presence requested to talk about what comes next.
Even though Candy may still be just a child, Sean did not back out of the promises he made.
“Hah! They are only bullying me because they see that I have no daddy!
“However, I have Uncle Sean! Hmph!”
Candy waved her little fist in the air, looking full of spirit.
Leah Light shook her head helplessly as she saw how Candy was like. The only reason she allowed Sean to come along was that she did not want Candy to be disappointed.
Frankly speaking, Sean was just a powerless, crippled nobody. What can he do?
“Principal Leed, who’s the parents of this brat?
“Look at how badly my baby boy is hurt! Someone has to bear responsibility for this matter!”
Just as Sean and the rest were approaching the principal’s office, sneers, huffs, and puffs were heard from within it.
“Mr, Lowe, Mr. Lowe, please calm down. The other parent will be here soon.”
Right after that was a politely courteous voice.
Sean had a rough picture drafted out in his heart.
Since Levi Quinn, also known as Old Master Quinn had a fairly high ranking in the army, it was only natural that he would have made loads of enemies.
To avoid unwanted circumstances, all his offspring would have a little concealment put in place for safety measures.
This was also why, within the kindergarten, no one knew who Candy really was.
