The whole empire knew the general was going to get a divorce

"Ivan Winston Gris, I've read about this name in the newspaper." Alice said suddenly, "The one who married Corian back then."

Alice and Ivan have been working together for nearly four years, and the two have a good relationship, but Alice knows nothing about Ivan's past.So when she heard the conversation between Aiwen and Corian, she was taken aback. She didn't expect Aiwen to have such a past.

Alice was surprised at first. Ivan was too low-key. The two people who seemed to have a huge difference in status were once husband and wife.The next moment, Alice began to think that Corinne was almost her dream lover, a kind of dreamy and vanity-satisfying, but Aiwen was her friend, a friend of four years, and the balance in Alice's heart was very fast. Falling to Ivan.Thinking of everything she had done, Alice suddenly felt guilty.

Hearing Alice's words, Ivan finally stopped and turned to look at Alice.There was a trace of guilt in Alice's beautiful eyes: "Ivan, I'm sorry, I didn't know...I kept mentioning him in front of you..." Alice paused, and continued, "When Corian divorced, I I used to gloat. But now, when I know that the divorcee is you... Ivan, you are so nice, I suddenly find Corian very annoying."

Alice has a cheerful temperament, but at this time she is like a little girl, with self-blame and uneasy.

Ai Wen suddenly smiled: "Alice, we are friends. The present is always more important than the past."

After listening to Aiwen's words, Alice also showed a smile: "Aiwen, Corian is such a bastard."

"Yes, he's a jerk." Ivan repeated.

Alice suddenly rushed up and gave Ivan a comforting hug, and Ivan reached out and hugged Alice.

"Honey, do you have any clothes here? This clothes are too tight for me!" Alice got out of Ivan's arms, her beautiful brows frowned.

Ivan led Alice into the door, and the smell of the dishes wafted out from the kitchen. Alice changed her clothes and sat directly on the sofa.Ryan ran out of the room and looked at Alice curiously, his blue eyes shining brightly.Alice also looked at Ryan. Alice knew that Ivan was alone with a child, but it was the first time she saw Ryan.The little guy was wearing a snow-white plush hooded pajamas, and the hat was on his head, revealing only his chubby face.

"It's so beautiful~"

The little guy narrowed his eyes slightly, tilted his head and said.

Alice has heard countless people say that she is beautiful, but this is the only time that made her feel trembling. Alice stretched out her hand to the little guy: "Honey, what's your name?"

The little guy walked to Alice's side, reached out and poked Alice's chest.

Alice: "..."

"My name is Ryan." Ryan said, "What's your sister's name?"

Alice is about the same age as Ivan, and Ryan's mouth is too sweet.Alice smiled and rolled her eyes, and Alice looked a few more times, and then her face suddenly changed.There are a lot of blond and blue-eyed people in the empire, so just looking at Ryan's eyes would not make people think of anything.But knowing the relationship between Aiwen and Corian, Alice looked at those eyes, and suddenly had a guess in her heart, which made her eyes widen.

"Ivan... Ryan..." Ivan was helping in the kitchen, and when he heard Alice's words, he came out.

Ivan looked at Ryan's little pervert and couldn't help wiping his sweat: "Alice, what's the matter?"

"Lian is..." Alice didn't say the words behind, but Ivan had already guessed.

"Ryan is a good baby." Ryan's eyebrows curved.

"Yes, it's Dad's good baby." Ivan added.

Alice didn't ask any more questions. The little guy bounced in Alice's arms, and soon lost interest in the beauty. He sat on the sofa by himself and read the comic book.

Alice's appetite is actually very large, but at the banquet, she is a lady, and she tasted many things.Alice stayed at Ivan's house for a meal before leaving satisfied.

"Dad, who is this person?" The little guy climbed onto Ivan's lap with a comic book in his arms, and pointed to a person above him.

It was a portrait of a person.

Corian was wearing a dark green military uniform, holding a military cap in his hand, standing in a straight military posture, exuding the majesty of a soldier.

Looking at Ryan's curious eyes, Ivan suddenly felt a tingling pain in his heart.

"This is Corian Gris, the general of the empire." Ivan explained.

The little guy read a few words silently, then opened the page and continued to read the next page.

It was dark, and Ryan fell into a deep sleep.Ai Wen was very awake, he got up from the bed and sat on the sofa in front of the window.Starlight leaked from the slightly opened windows, and Ivan looked up, a little dazed.Corian was an extremely arrogant man at his core, his slap not only slapped Corian in the face, but also trampled his dignity to the ground.Corian has never been beaten like this since he was a child.Ivan is worried that tomorrow he will receive a dismissal notice from Liston University.Because Corian lost his job, it's really not worth it.

Later, when he gradually became sleepy, Aiwen lay back on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

Aiwen did not receive the expected dismissal notice the next day, so Aiwen did not lose his job.As for whether the reason was because of Corian's face problem, or because of other reasons, Ivan didn't bother to guess.He would not be grateful to Corian.

Afterwards, Corian called him, and Ai Wen didn't want to answer, but the calls kept coming.Ai Wen answered, but no one spoke over there.

After waiting for a while, Ivan did not hang up, but put the phone on the table.

"There seems to be something wrong with the phone," Corian said.

So those incessant phone calls were due to a problem with the phone, and not by Kerian's own will?

This excuse was so clumsy that it was false, but Aiwen didn't bother to speculate on Corian's intentions, so he just responded lightly.

"Goodbye then."

"It's my birthday in a few days." Kerian said suddenly.

Corinne's birthday is on December 23, two days before Christmas.Ai Wen remembered this day clearly.In the past, Ivan's greatest wish was to celebrate his birthday with Keruien.On that day, he would get off work early, then make a cake himself, and wait for Corian to come back.But every time Corian always came back very late, sometimes not even back.Ivan still remembers the feeling of eating a cake by himself.

The beginning of the romance, the ending is very bleak.

This is not a happy memory, Alvin came back to his senses.

"Happy birthday." Ivan replied almost politely.

Corian didn't speak, and was so silent that he was almost suffocated.

"I will spend Christmas in John's Town." Corin said.With an inexplicable hint.

Corian hung up the phone directly, but Ivan didn't understand what he meant.Ivan thought he knew Corian very well, but in fact, he didn't know anything about it.There is an insurmountable gap between them. In the past, Aiwen would guess his meaning from what Corian said, but now, he is too lazy to guess.After that, Ivan never thought of the call again.

Christmas is getting closer, and there are Christmas trees everywhere on the street. Ivan also bought a Christmas tree and decorated it with Ryan.The little guy was holding a pen in his hand, and was seriously writing something on the paper. After finishing writing, he hung it on the tree.

"Dad, don't watch~"

Ryan said mysteriously, as if he was hiding some secret...

Lane's little secret has to do with Ada.

**

Ada is actually a careful and clean child. When Ada first transferred to the new school, she just fell ill.Ada, who had a cold, sniffed her snot, and stretched out her black and thin hand towards Ryan, and was immediately disgusted by Ryan.

Ada's cold gradually got better. He is a black and strong little boy who loves cleaning very much. The two little guys quickly became good friends.

Ada is an unfortunate child. His father passed away when he was very young. At that time, he was still ignorant.His impression of his father comes entirely from his mother.His mother said his father was a fighter and a hero.His mom told him who his dad admired and wanted him to be, too.

"Ada, what are you drawing?" Ryan leaned over curiously, watching Ada draw on a piece of paper, "Is it a pig?"

Ada's eyes widened, and she gave Ryan a very hurt look.

"It's my father." Ada looked at the painting and said.

Ryan quickly reached out and shook Ada's arm: "Ada, I'm sorry."

Ada shook her head, with sadness in her dark eyes: "It will be Dad's birthday in a few days, and I want to send a painting to Dad."

Ryan rolled his eyes, and a gleam of light suddenly appeared in his blue eyes: "Ada, didn't you say last time that your father likes someone very much? Let's go get his autograph for your father."

"But how do we find him?" Ada asked.

"I asked my dad last time, your dad's idol is called Corian Gris." Ryan had an amazing memory.

Ada nodded: "I don't know where to find him. When I grow up, Ryan, can you go with me?"

Seeing Ada's lost look, Ryan turned around and walked out. When he came back, he had an extra piece of paper in his hand: "I asked Teacher Bell, and she said that Corian Gris is in John Town."

"Ada, I'll take you to find him." Ryan patted his chest and said.

Ada looked at Ryan with bright eyes.Ryan stuck out his tongue, and pulled Ada out.

Because it is free time, each child will have a tracker, so the school does not restrict their activities.Some children will choose to go home on their own.Ryan pulled Ada out of the school, took a taxi, and walked towards the address given by the teacher.

**

Corian seldom smokes, but now, he is obsessed with the smell of cigarettes.White smoke rings filled the air, seeming to take away the depression.He was drunk that day, and drunk people are always extra crazy, but at that moment, his head was extraordinarily clear, so he still clearly remembered what happened that day.

Little by little, every minute and every detail, it kept flashing in his mind.

He remembered Aiwen's anger, those unemotional eyes, and the last slap very clearly.Every time I think of it, Corian is not angry, but a kind of powerlessness and fear.At this moment, Corian missed that gentle Ivan very much.

Corian closed his eyes, tiredness showing on his face.Corian rubbed his temple with the hand holding the cigarette, and there was still some throbbing pain there.

Corian took a deep breath, the nicotine easing his anxiety.

"General Corian, Madam Margaret asked when you will return to Oss City?" Kaqi asked.

There was a layer of smoke in the room, and Corian's face was a little blurred.Kaqi seldom sees Corian like this, with a kind of decadence on his body, is it because of Ivan?

Corian glanced back at Kaqi: "Wait until after Christmas, I have already asked His Majesty the Emperor for leave. What happened in Oss City is a headache."

Corian didn't want to go back yet, he knew he couldn't leave easily, otherwise something would go further away from him.He still wanted to wait, so he followed his heart.

Kaqi left, and turned back after a while: "General Corin, someone wants to see you."

"Who?" Corian asked.

"Your little fan." Kaqi said, "General, do you want to see me?"

"I'm a little tired." Kerian said with his eyes closed.

There are too many fans of the generals of the empire, and many people come to him, but Corian doesn't meet every time.It's just that this time is a bit special. Kaqi thought of those two cute little guys holding hands and standing under the surveillance: "General, they are two very cute little guys..."

"Take them to the coffee shop on the tenth floor, I'll be there soon."

Corian took off his nightgown and put on a clean suit, but the smell of cigarettes still lingered.After washing his face, Kerian felt much more refreshed.But in a blink of an eye, the decadent man became stiff and handsome again.

Corian went down to the tenth floor, walked into the hall, and saw two little guys sitting on the sofa at a glance.

A dark and strong kid, who looks very thick at first glance, and the other...

Corian was stunned suddenly. At that moment, it seemed that a warm current flowed through his heart.The little guy was wearing a black leather jacket and a plush hat on his head. He was lying in front of the fish tank, pointing to the position of the fish with one hand and moving it around, having fun.Every move of the little guy seems to affect his mind.

Kerian kept standing there watching. The little guy seemed tired from playing, so he lay back on the sofa and patted his stomach lazily.Seemingly aware of Corian's gaze, Ryan raised his head and saw Corian, his blue eyes were full of curiosity.

Being watched by the little guy, Corian suddenly felt his heart tremble, and walked towards him.Ryan stretched out his hand to poke Ada, and Ada, who was in a daze, also glanced forward. When he saw Corin, his eyes lit up, and he jumped up from the sofa, and looked towards Corin with dignity. A military salute was performed.

"Are you looking for me?" Corian asked.

Ryan also climbed off the sofa. He was shorter than Ida, with short legs and feet, and almost rolled down.

Ryan also imitated Edda's appearance and made one.

"General Corin, my name is Ada." Ada said with a very serious face.

"General Corin, my name is Ryan." Ryan blinked, "Uncle, you look so good-looking."

Corian was amused by the appearance of the two little guys.He actually doesn't like children. In his impression, children like to cry and make trouble for no reason, but these two little guys are very well-behaved.

"I invite you to drink coffee." Corian said, leading the two little ones into the coffee shop.
