Strike!cowardly [interstellar]

Mrs. Oliver sat in the middle of the room and watched several people come in.His eyes first turned to his own daughter, seeing her loosen her hand like a kitten, and then he turned his eyes to today's protagonist with satisfaction.

Gbadden's breathing stopped suddenly, and he stood a little nervously.

Lance bumped into him behind him, patted him on the shoulder as he passed by, and said in a low voice, "Brother, for Molly."

Gebadun suddenly felt all over, as if he had been enlightened, and his mind became sober.

"Good afternoon, Mrs. Oliver." Lance stepped forward first and greeted the lady.

Mrs. Oliver smiled, stood up, and gave him a noble salute, but her tone revealed intimacy, "Long time no see, Your Majesty. How are you?"

"Everything is as usual, Mrs. Xie is concerned."

Mrs. Oliver smiled again and said, "Say hello to Aurora for me."

"Definitely. Mother misses you very much, too."

Mrs. Olivier saw the delicate-looking young man following Lance again, her eyes froze for a moment, and then she said happily, "This is Fiona's newly adopted child, right? I heard from Molly that he is a very beautiful boy." Kid, I didn't expect her appearance to be even more beyond my expectations."

"Apollo, this is Mrs. Oliver." Lance introduced.

"Good afternoon, madam, your clothes are so pretty." Yao Zai'er said sweetly and sincerely, showing her face from behind Lance.When his eyes are on you, it's hard not to believe he's speaking the truth from the bottom of his heart.

"Thank you... oh sorry, what's your name kid?"

"Apollo!" Yao Zai'er replied loudly, laughing like a little angel of pure sunshine.

Mrs. Oliver was really about to melt her heart, she pulled him closer and watched carefully.

Through such an interruption, the tension in Gbadden's heart eased a lot. He took a deep breath, tightened Molly's hand, and strode to Mrs. Olivier.

Although the lady's eyes were on Apollo, she did not forget the main task of the day.Thinking of the appearance of her daughter nervously and shyly saying good things about Gbadden in front of her last night, and the restraint of the two of them seeing themselves and the children meeting their parents today, a trace of teasing flashed at the corners of their mouths as they lowered their heads.

When he raised his head, his face deliberately stiffened again.The aristocratic temperament she was born with and cultivated the day after tomorrow made her not angry and arrogant, so naturally she should not be underestimated.

She watched the tall and burly man approach her step by step, and suddenly knelt on the ground on one knee, which startled her.Even Molly was stunned, and grabbed him, "What are you doing!"

"Auntie, in Lower Gbarton Black, Lieutenant General, 32 years old, parents are alive, never had a girlfriend, in good health, no bad hobbies, has been secretly in love with Major General Molly Olivier for ten years, and finally mustered up the courage today Come to visit you, please... believe me, the sincerity of my love for her is no less than my loyalty to the empire, I will take good care of her and protect her. I will use my life for the rest of my life."

"Stupid..." Molly was stunned.She never thought these words could come out of this silly-looking guy.

Have a crush on yourself for ten years?He... is he looking at him silently like this?Thinking of this, Molly couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement in her heart. The surging heartbeat was about to pop out, and the sound of breathing became heavy.

Mrs. Oliver stood up, her slender eyes stared at the child who had grown up with her.If it had been yesterday, she would have treated it as a spur of the moment when two children were playing house, but at this moment, seeing the tall and generous man kneeling in front of her on one knee, with his right hand clenched into his chest, it was as solemn as taking an oath on the day of his enlistment. She made a promise to herself that she would no longer be able to underestimate this Chicheng.

"Child, get up quickly." She stretched out her hand and gently lifted Gbaton up.The man stood up, raised his head and looked at her seriously, his eyes met. After a while, Mrs. Oliver's eyes were slightly wet, her eyelashes trembled, and she turned her head to grab her daughter's hand and hold it tightly.

"When Molly told me you were together, I didn't really take it seriously, but now... I'm so glad that Molly met you. Boy, I watched you grow up and know what you are For such a person, Molly can get your promise, and I can really feel at ease..."

"...Mom!" Molly's eyes widened, looking at him in surprise.In exchange for a blank look from my mother.

His forehead was tapped hard, "You little white-eyed wolf, you can't bully Gbadden in the future!"

"Mom! You are not afraid of him bullying me!"

"Don't be afraid! Only Gerbatton can stand your temper." Mrs. Oliver pursed her lips and smiled, and then said to Gerbatton, "Son, if this girl can't hold her back in the future, come and tell me! "

"Don't worry, auntie. I won't make her angry." Gbadden opened his mouth and smiled innocently.

Yao Zai'er stood next to Lance, watching the whole process quietly, with wide almond eyes, showing a thoughtful and somewhat ignorant expression.

Lance held his hand, turned his head and said in a low voice, "What do you see?"

"Gebaton and Sister Molly are very happy."

"Happiness?" Lance didn't expect the child to say this word, he smiled slightly, his voice was low and magnetic, "Do you know what happiness is?"

Yao Zai'er glared at him with puffy cheeks.

"Okay, okay, I was wrong." Lance patted his head quickly, "Then let me put it another way, why do you think they are happy?"

"Because...they are together now?"

"Ah."

Yao Zaier frowned, thinking, "From now on, we can live together, eat together, sleep together, and do everything together." As he spoke, he suddenly became cheerful, raised his head, his eyes were bright and lovely, "Just Like us!"

Lance's heart pounded, resisting the urge to hug him into his arms, and said in a hoarse voice: "The bond between them is love, which is different from that of family members."

"Love, isn't it between family members..." Yao Zai'er fell into distress again and lowered his head.

"Love is a feeling that only exists between two specific people. They are also family members, but they have more different feelings than ordinary family ties." Lance patiently explained to him.Seeing the child's bewildered look, he sighed slightly in his heart, not in a hurry, and rubbed his fluffy hair, as if speaking to him, or whispering to himself, "These, I hope you will understand later."

Gbadden successfully got Mrs. Oliver's approval, and the atmosphere immediately became relaxed and harmonious.

Even though Lance is now the emperor of an empire, because he was close to Gerbatton since he was a child, he is very familiar and informal in Olivier Castle. Mrs. Olivier does not treat him as an outsider, and is as enthusiastic as she was when she was a child He beckoned the servants to prepare tea.

"Would you like something to drink, Gbarton?" Mrs. Oliver said cheerfully.

"No need for auntie, just tea." Gebadun was afraid of ruining the image he had just established, so he didn't dare to take another sip.

Mrs. Olivier giggled, then looked at Lance again, "What about you, Your Majesty?"

"Don't bother."

"If you don't drink it, you're always hungry, right? I'll ask someone to prepare some nutrient solution."

"Ma'am, is it convenient to fire in the small kitchen today?" Lance asked again.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Oliver's face showed surprise.From childhood to adulthood, these children have always come to their own homes without restricting their appetites. Even if delicate snacks are specially prepared for them, they are often ignored, and a random nutrient solution is poured into their mouths and dismissed.

This is the first time I heard them offer to open a small kitchen.

And the one who spoke was—Lance? !

"Naturally... it's convenient. What would Your Majesty want to eat?" She asked in confusion.

Lance looked at Yao Zai'er.

Yao Zai'er tilted his head and thought for a while, and he was not polite, and said with a sweet smile: "I want to eat grilled chicken wings!"

When Mrs. Olivier saw that it was prepared for this young boy, she immediately let go of her doubts.Lance is still Lance, if this is for the cutie, then it's perfectly normal.

"Okay Apollo, Auntie will get someone to prepare it for you. What flavor do you like? BBQ sauce or spicy?"

"Spicy!" Yao Zai'er had never eaten spicy food before, so he chose it without hesitation.

Lance glanced at him, didn't stop him, but said, "Get ready, ma'am."

"No problem, it's rare that everyone has an appetite, I'll let the small kitchen cook a good meal."

Not long after, a maid hurriedly left the castle to buy ingredients.

When the spicy grilled wings were served, Yao Zai'er sat obediently, but kept staring, full of curiosity and eagerness.

The chef served the dishes himself. Seeing this scene, I felt very proud and fulfilled.When preparing dishes for Yao Zai'er, he specially said warmly: "Young master, this taste is a bit strong, you can try it and see if you like it."

Yao Zai'er nodded, and as soon as the chicken wings were placed on his plate, he picked up a fork and poked it, and stuffed it into his mouth.

One second, two seconds—

His eyes turned red suddenly, the chicken wings fell into the plate, and the corner of his mouth was still stained with hot sauce. The hot stimulation made him teary-eyed, and he looked at Lance for help.

Lance had been prepared for a long time, quickly picked up the tablecloth and wiped it off the corner of his mouth, and then handed him a glass of ice water.

Yao Zai'er picked it up, "gudu gudu" finished drinking, and stuck out his tongue "haha" to dissipate heat.

"I can't eat anymore..." He put the chicken wings he took a bite into Lance's plate.

Lance looked natural, ignoring the wide-eyed eyes of others.

Yao Zai'er stuck out his tongue desperately, but it's a pity that there are no sweat glands on his human-sized tongue, so he can't spit out enough. If not for the presence of many people, he would have changed back to his original shape!

"Is it better?" Lance looked at the child like this, feeling very distressed.

But he did not stop the child from trying it, or directly told him that he might not be able to accept the taste.

In many things, Lance is willing to let children explore and understand by themselves, to understand the difference between human beings and beasts, and what kind of creatures they are.

And he is more willing to be a guide and companion, always by his side, watching him grow up, waiting for him to understand more things.
