Chapter 255: Is She A Military Officer (part two)

Luke's mouth twitched. He could tell Jonathan was furious. He was worried that the villa might become a war zone that night. He hoped that a smart boy like Justin could take the pressure off and lighten the mood.

Everyone knew that Jonathan loved his wife. He wouldn't put up with anyone who hurt his wife's feelings, even if it was his own son.

Jonathan, can we do that? I heard that Daisy is back. I'm afraid that it will be inappropriate if we show up like that without notice."

Cynthia Fu was apprehensive, because years ago, she had set up Edward and Daisy, and then left. Jonathan Mu didn't want to leave, but he acquiesced. However, things hadn't gone like she planned. Edward and Daisy parted later, which struck Cynthia Fu hard. After that, she decided to spend her time traveling the world with Jonathan. She thought it better to let nature take its own course. So now Edward and Daisy were back together, and her promise to Daisy's mother was finally fulfilled.

"Lady, Mrs. Mu is not in the villa these days. She has been away for the war games, " Luke said. If Daisy was at home, she would have asked Edward to pick his parents up from the airport. It was because she wasn't that Edward became so headstrong and childish.

What? War games? You mean she is a military officer?" Jonathan Mu frowned. He had only a scant amount of knowledge about his daughter-in-law. Actually, he didn't have a strong impression of any other woman except his wife.

"Yes, master. Mrs. Mu is a colonel at the military base, " Luke answered. He respected Jonathan very much. It wasn't because he was an elder but because of his overwhelming bearing.

"Luke, don't ever call me master again! Address me as either Dad or Jonathan. Otherwise, you'll regret it." Jonathan squinted his eyes, which made him look terrifying. He would give his wife whatever she wanted. Cynthia had told Luke to call her and Jonathan Mom and Dad. He would make sure she got that. He had promised her before that he would always put her first and nobody else mattered to him.

"Yes, Dad." Luke's eyes reddened a little. Although Jonathan sounded ferocious, Luke was moved by his words. Jonathan's words were treated as orders, which no one dared refuse or ignore. Of course, Luke wouldn't call Jonathan Mu by his name, which would be disrespectful, so he did as Jonathan Mu had asked.

"Luke, let's get out of here. We can talk on the way." Cynthia Fu was pleased with how Luke had addressed them. Luke had been close to her when he was a child, but she felt since he started to stay with Edward, he had been standing on ceremony, which bothered her. Hearing Luke call Jonathan Dad, she felt relieved.

In the CEO's office of FX International Group, Justin was uncomfortable and bored. But mostly uncomfortable.

"Daddy, you're acting strange today. You seem really distracted. And why did you bring me to the office? Are you planning something?" Justin asked, looking at his Dad, who was trying to act calm. He was eager to find out what was going on with his Dad.

"What are you talking about? What would I be planning?" Edward rolled his eyes at Justin, who was grinning. He had taken Justin with him on purpose, because he didn't want Luke to take Justin to the airport to see the old couple. Yes, they were an old couple to him, although they looked young.

Haha, Daddy, you have been avoiding eye contact, which makes me more suspicious of you. What are you up to? Is another woman coming to ask you to take responsibility, so you're going to use me as your shield?"

Apparently, Justin didn't buy Edward's words. His Dad pulled him out of bed first thing in the morning, and put him in his office, and they'd been sitting there all day. There must be a reason for it.

"Young man, do you think your Daddy is that slick with the ladies and there'll be a pregnant woman coming here every day? Sometimes Justin seemed a mystery to Edward. His words surprised him. He couldn't understand him at that moment.

"If I hadn't stopped you, you'd have bastards all over the world." Justin ran over to his dad and jumped on his lap. He giggled and played with Edward's tie.

"Oh, it sounds like I should thank you for your little pranks changing the course of my life." Edward also wondered how Justin had managed to come up with so many excuses to keep him away from those women. He had once been worried that he might not be able to do it with women, which would be humiliating.

"No problem. Consider it a good deed. It is my mission to stop evil from spreading." Justin gloated with a smile. Edward was speechless.

Great! Little guy, you are joking about your own Daddy now! I'm going to teach you a lesson!" Edward started to scrape Justin's face with his stubble. Justin giggled. They played for a long while before they stopped.

Justin, your grandparents came home from abroad today. Edward held Justin tightly and sighed.

My grandparents? Why I have never met them? Justin got out of Edward's arms and looked at him curiously. He didn't even know that he had grandparents. When he and his mom were living in the residential quarters of the military base, he had tried everything to know who his dad was. Maybe Daisy didn't feel it was her place to say anything about his grandparents.

Ow, I barely see them myself. I think they're coming home to see you. Edward felt sad while he talk about it. He didn't think his parents had changed their plans for him, so they must have heard from Lloyd that they have a lovely grandson, and hence cancelled their travel plans so they could see Justin.

Daddy, aren't you happy that grandpa and grandma are home? Why do you seems so worried? Justin was confused. His grandparents were his father's parents. Since he was always happy to see his dad and mom, he wondered why his dad wasn't glad to see his parents like him. Doesn't dad want to see them? Is he afraid of something? If so? What?
