"Daddy, I want ice cream!"On their way home, Ethan, driving his daughter and wife Londyn, pulled up in front of an incredibly posh store. However, his little girl's eyes suddenly lit up, attracted by the captivating sight of an ice cream stand outside the shop, boasting many colorful and adorable characters adorning the top. Consequently, she couldn't resist tugging eagerly on Ethan's sleeve, voicing her desire.Seeing the expectancy in her innocent eyes, Ethan felt a wave of paternal indulgence, stroked his little girl's head, and nodded in agreement."Alright, today Daddy will let you enjoy all the ice cream you want!"At that, she couldn't contain her joy, jumping up and down, clapping her hands in celebration."Hurrah for Daddy! Daddy is the best!"Watching her animated display, Ethan couldn't help but beam, his eyes crinkling with laughter. Londyn, however, wore a slightly troubled expression. She gently nudged Ethan's arm, speaking softly."You're spoiling her too much. What if
It wasn't long before Spinel arrived, driving herself. On seeing Ethan standing outside the Sprite apartment block, she hastily exited the car. She then halted before him, extending her hand in a military salute: "Captain, have you been waiting long?"However, Ethan quickly extended his hand to stop her. His face bore a trace of seriousness as he instructed his subordinate: "From now on, if we're not at the unit or on duty, you don't need to salute me. Right now, I want to go back and rest a little. I'm rather tired today!" With that, Ethan climbed into the back of the car. Spinel looked somewhat perplexed.After a moment, she managed to gather her wits about her, hastily jumping into her car, her gaze drifting towards the weary face of Ethan, seated at the back of his vehicle.However, upon seeing Ethan's eyelids drooping in fatigue, she dared not disturb his rest and instead commenced the ignition, steering the car away.Ten minutes later, the car halted before an extraordinarily l
"What did you just say?" She appeared no sooner than a thick aura of murderous intent emanated from Spinel, pinning the young girl beside the older man in its chilling grip. Suddenly, Ethan became frantic, swiftly raising his hand to intervene: "A misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding! There's no need for you to be so furious!" As he spoke, he purposely winked at Spinel. Seeing this, Spinel reluctantly withdrew her intense aura. However, her gaze never retreated. Instead, it remained fixed on the girl standing opposite her. It was as if she was ready to pounce and restrain the girl at any provocative move, any slight sign of a threat to Ethan. "I... I said what I said. What's got you so riled up?" Despite the intimidation of Spinel's menacing aura, the young girl across from her did not exhibit fear. On the contrary, her face held a sure defiance as she responded to Spinel's gaze. Seeing this, Spinel merely snorted and crossed her arms, standing silently beside Ethan. Meanwhil
"Damn, how did this happen? We've been extra cautious, haven't we? How on earth did the police manage to track us?" Right now, at a spot outside the apartment complex, a burly man with a fearsome look and a scar from his forehead down to his cheek wore a frown as he spoke while running. Hearing the man with the scar grumble, the other two exchanged wary glances. One of them, a seemingly honest and rugged man, looked at the scarred man: "Boss, do you think that woman might have duped us? Otherwise, how could the police possibly have found us?" Upon hearing these words, the scar-faced man couldn't help but explode: "Damn it, have you lost your wits from reading too many online stories? She hired us to kidnap someone. Why would she turn us in to the police? Do you think she's not afraid we might spill the beans?" After getting scolded by the man with the scar, the honest-looking man didn't dare to argue back. Instead, he lowered his head slightly, murmuring under his breath: "Aren't
Suddenly, the sight of the ordinarily fearless boss, a man who seemed unafraid of heaven or earth, now crumpled and prostrate on the ground, his head thudding in obeisance before the young man standing opposite him, was enough to startle anyone.At that moment, the two remaining henchmen were unnerved, their exclamations of alarm echoing in the air.Yet, the only response they received was the increasingly loud thuds of their boss's head meeting the ground.Blood began to paint the earth beneath them a vivid shade of red. The faces of the two henchmen blanched, their expressions numb with shock.The young man before them appeared indifferent to their plight, uttering a single, calm command."Go, clean up this mess for me."Upon hearing Ethan's order, the soldiers behind him began to advance, escorting the three bandits away.The sight of the spotless street left behind by the remaining soldiers prompted Ethan to pivot, signaling to Spinel."Let's go, and we'll chat with them."At Etha
That guy rushed forward, shouting furiously."Dammit, who's the bastard? Who's the bastard that dared to kidnap my wife?!"Hearing the other party's shout, Ethan didn't feel angry.On the contrary, he squinted at his wristwatch, then glanced at the couple sitting together on the bed, a hint of bemusement on his face."Well, it seems your husband loves you a lot, huh? Not even half the time has passed, and he's already hurried here."However, his words were like needles, making the expressions of the two on the bed extremely unsightly."Hmm?!"But Bannet's reaction was different from what they expected.As soon as he saw his wife being held at gunpoint, sitting on the bed.Immediately, the man couldn't help but shout in alarm."What do you want? Quickly release her. I will have the money delivered to you."As he spoke, Bannet quickly ran toward his wife.However, Spinel moved slightly at this moment, aiming the gun barrel directly at him.Instantly, the plump man quivered a little, his
"Knock knock!""Come in!"While working in the reading room.Suddenly, hearing a knock at the door, Sapphire Dhara looked up.Then, she softly responded.Hearing Sapphire Dhara's response, Bannet Dhara quickly pushed the door open.Then, his face was slightly anxious, looking at his sister."What is it?"Seeing Bannet Dhara's appearance, Sapphire frowned slightly.Then, her tone slightly impatient, she asked.Seeing this, Bannet clenched his teeth, then slowly spoke."Sapphire, he, he's back!""Huh?!"Hearing Bannet's vague talk, Sapphire's face showed a bit of annoyance.She frowned and said,"Who is he? What happened to you? Haven't I told you often that you should only disturb me if everything is necessary?Besides, the company has had some issues recently, and I don't have as much money to give you for your lavish spending anymore!"Hearing his sister's reproach, Bannet's face turned slightly red.But soon after, he quickly started to explain."No, I didn't come here to take your
"Madam, I'm here!"As Londyn had requested, Ethan arrived in front of her within less than five minutes.Seeing Ethan's appearance at this time, Londyn wanted to laugh.Just that, wanting to show the "dignity" of a lady boss, Londyn pretended to be serious at this moment and nodded."Very good, you are very punctual!"Hearing Londyn praising him, Ethan grinned, not resembling his previous image.Half an hour later, Ethan drove Londyn and her daughter back to Sprite's apartment.As soon as they entered the house, the little girl London shouted excitedly."Dad, Dad, today my teacher praised me.She said I was excellent and even gave me a good student certificate!"Seeing his daughter bragging, Ethan couldn't help but smile.Then, he bent down slightly, lifting his daughter in his arms."So, does my little girl want her dad to praise her for something?!""Yes, let me think!"The girl pondered a bit, touching her tiny mouth for a while.Then, her eyes uncertain, she looked at Ethan and sa
