The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor novel Chapter 20

"Yay, yay! We can go for a meal now!"

Kylie was dressed in a beautiful mini princess dress while she pranced delightfully in the courtyard.

"Madam, I won’t be joining you guys. I still have some matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now."

Jenny smiled at Selena.

"A date with your boyfriend again? Oh, you. Hurry up and go!" Selena spoke with a compassionate smile.

Joan had already finished her shower at that moment. She changed into the new clothes Fane had bought for her; she looked younger at a short glance. Although she was already in her forties, she looked younger and more elegant.

Joan looked effortlessly beautiful, and she had her natural elegance as well. Although she was usually dressed in her cleaner's uniform to work, she still emanated a personal grace that only belonged to her and no one else.

It was also this reason that Fane's father fell in love with her back then. 1

Unfortunately... 1

"Ma, you look pretty in that dress!"

Selena smiled as she took a look at Joan.

"Oh, you. Stop flattering me; I'm already old!"

Joan chuckled while she spoke.

Fiona who was sitting on the side could not hold herself back from mumbling while she witnessed that scene. "Am I her birth mother, or is she?" she mumbled. "Goddamnit...” 2

Andrew, on the other hand, was smoking. He had a frown on his face as he seemed to be lost in thoughts.

After a moment, he nudged Fiona next to him with his elbow and said, "Say, Fane said he can heal my leg. Do you think it's possible?" 4

Fiona immediately said, "You actually believe the nonsense he sputtered? Don't you know anything about him? He's only a soldier, so is he capable of healing your leg? I think it's more likely that he'll break your leg!"

Andrew was speechless.

Embarrassed, he found himself unable to argue. 2

Fiona then looked at the direction of the washroom and spoke impatiently.

"How is that brat taking such a long shower? I'm already famished!"

Andrew took a look at the time and said, "It's only been five minutes, though. You were taking a shower for half an hour earlier..."

Although this courtyard seemed old and disheveled, it was in a strategic location.

After Fane was done with his shower, a few of them began to discuss where to eat while they strolled.

"Hmm, not this one. It’s too cheap. It's not enough!”

"This one is even worse. A public buffet? Meaningless!"

As she strolled, Fiona intentionally looked at Fane with disdainful eyes while she goaded him, "Fane, you suggested treating us to a meal. I want to eat in a better restaurant. Have you brought enough money? Don't bail on us after we’re done with our meal!"

"Don't worry. Today's my first time treating everyone t o a meal, so we should all be happy. My dear mother-in -law, just pick as you please, and eat to your heart's content!"

Fane then turned to Kylie, who was in Selena's arms. H e then reached out and said, "Kylie, let Daddy carry you for a bit!"

The flustered Kylie looked toward Selena with her pair of huge sharp eyes, seemingly asking for her approval.

"Kylie, he’s your father. Hurry and call out to your father. Let him carry you.”

Selena felt her emotions stirred. She lamented at the fact that a child could not be without a father. On the day her child was born, she started her long journey of waiting.

She was internally terrified. She was afraid of Fane dying on the battlefield.

"Da-Daddy!"

Kylie reached out and called out to her father with her child-like voice.

As a Supreme Warrior, Fane’s heart wrenched the second he heard her innocent voice.

It was the first time she called him ‘daddy’.
