Chapter 1031 - 1028: Living Together (4)
"Admiral, if I may... perhaps you should reconsider..."After all, with their current relationship, even if the Admiral wanted to investigate, it wouldn’t yield any results, so Lieutenant Li risked his life to offer this reminder.
"Just go if I tell you to." The man coldly scolded, his eyes dark and fearsome. Who’s the boss here, anyway?
Lately, Lieutenant Li had so many things on his plate, and had he become bolder too? Meddling too much now?
"Lieutenant Li, about Africa..."
Alexander Kingsley’s commanding tone was interrupted by Lieutenant Li, who kneeled and pleaded for mercy, "Sir, please spare me..."
"Admiral, please spare these old bones of mine, don’t send me to mess around in Africa."
"I’ll immediately, without delay, go and track Miss Carr’s whereabouts, will that work for you?!"
Lieutenant Li was truly afraid of Africa.
"Then hurry up and get going!" Alexander snapped coldly. "Be quick, don’t let me down."
"Yes, yes." With that, Lieutenant Li scurried away, feeling quite embarrassed.
Although Alexander usually seemed quite aloof, he wasn’t normally this fierce. What a scary guy today.
...
Lieutenant Li went to investigate Carla Carr’s whereabouts, while Alexander Kingsley headed to the Lanwan Courtyard.
Before long, he found Lucas Knight.
The main reason for this visit to the big boss was to apologize. For the past half month, he had been recovering, so he technically was on leave.
When Lieutenant Li came to report the situation, Lucas Knight immediately agreed to give Alexander time to rest.
Without another word, he instructed Lieutenant Li to take good care of him.
"Admiral, are you alright~," Harry North greeted Alexander at the door, "I heard from Lieutenant Li that you ’accidentally’ got a little hurt."
Harry had even called Alexander back then, and what happened? Alexander just said it was a minor injury over the phone. How could that be nothing!?
This recovery period lasted more than half a month, brother, how is that a little injury?
"I’m fine, I’m here for the Crown Prince!" Alexander said, "Is he asleep yet?"
Harry replied, "He’s already resting in his room, with the little miss and little master. Admiral, if you have something important, you can tell me, I’ll go upstairs to find him..."
"No need." If they’re asleep, there’s no reason to disturb them.
The two of them hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and being such long-time friends, Alexander obviously understood his temperament.
"Admiral, since you’re here, why not stay at the Lanwan Courtyard?" Just rest here.
"Alright." Alexander agreed.
...
Inside the mansion’s luxurious master bedroom.
Lucas Knight held little Lili in his arms.
Little Ivy was sleeping in the children’s room.
"Lili, aren’t you going to sleep?" he gently coaxed the little bundle, "It’s really late now, you should go to bed~"
"No, no!!" Little Lili wriggled a bit, then clung onto his shoulder, "I miss Mommy so much..."
"Big sister Ella said that Lili’s mommy is really pretty."
"I really want to see Mommy~"
She wriggled a bit, rubbing against him.
Her clinginess simply melted his heart. No matter how busy, tired, or troubled he was, the moment he came home to see this little cutie, he instantly relaxed.
He patted the little bun, coaxing, "Lili, go to sleep, be good... when you grow a bit older, I’ll take you to find Mommy, alright?"
