Under the dim lights, noisy noises and pungent alcohol filled the air.

In a semi-open compartment, a middle-aged man was lying in the middle of a spacious sofa.

The man had a weathered face that was somewhat handsome, and this well-maintained face was buried in the arms of two young and beautiful ladies next to him.

The man raised his head, stretched out his hands, and hugged both ladies into his arms.

"Mr. Lance, you are so strong."

The woman on the left said with an expression of dependence and reverence.

Lance said:

"You may not think I'm old, but I still keep exercising every day. Didn't you know that a young guy from the Pure White Knights started sparring with me two days ago?

"Although he caught me off guard at first with his young man's reaction speed, it only took me less than five moves to adapt to his speed, and finally defeated him through his abundant physical strength and superb swordsmanship.

"If you were there, you might not believe what you saw. I fought with him for eight minutes."

Although the two ladies couldn't quite understand what it was like to have an eight-minute sword fight, they still felt what Lance wanted to express.

Plenty of physical strength.

The woman lying on the right side of Lance let out a sweet laugh, trying to tease Lance.

despair.

The crisp footsteps had strong penetrating power and hit Lance directly on the chest.

He pushed the two people beside him away, then hurriedly packed up his clothes, and signaled them with serious eyes to sit quietly.

He smiled at the door that had not yet been opened.

Enid pushed open the door and entered.

Lance stood up directly, then opened his arms and said with a smile:

"Look who's here? My most precious daughter."

Nervousness and excitement appear at the same time

Enid looked around the cubicle.

Two women were sitting on the sofas on either side. One of them looked a little nervous and at a loss as to what to do.

The expression of the other woman, who didn't look much older, was completely different. She had calmed down a lot, and there was a trace of undisguised impatience and contempt deep in her eyes.

She was impatient with Enid and contemptuous of Lance.

Enid looked at her father who put his arms down without embarrassment:

"Mr. Lance, long time no see."

There was a feeling of disappointment.

The man restrained his smile:

"Mr. Lance? Don't call me father anymore. I know I look a little pathetic and ridiculous now, but I didn't invite you here."

He looked at Enid, who had a cold expression, and suddenly his expression relaxed again, and then he sighed:

"My daughter, I know that I am not a qualified father in your heart, but that doesn't mean that I don't want to be a good father."

She felt sincerity.

Lance continued:

"Child, I don't know what brought you here suddenly, but I think you must have something to say or do.

"You don't need to be shy or hesitant in front of me."

Enid asked:

"Why didn't you show up after all these years?"

The thick guilt began to spread, covering the bad smell of alcohol.

But this smell is more pungent.

Lance was silent for a moment before speaking:

"I have never talked about this kind of thing with you, and you have never asked me about it." No. 3 Chinese website

Enid said:

"Now that I'm here, can you tell me why? Why..."

abandon me.

Lance showed a complicated expression:

"I, I'm not...

"Well, I was still too young at that time. There were some things that I thought about for a long time even if you didn't ask me. It made me very painful. Do you know?

"When your mother and they took you from my hands."

Enid asked:

"who are they?"

Lance stretched out his finger and shook it:

"Everyone, please sit down first, I will tell you slowly, and you two, get out."

The other two ladies quickly stood up, straightened their clothes slightly, then walked out of the room and disappeared into the noise.

Lance filled the glass in front of him with brandy.

Enid looked at the table, searching for a clean cup.

Lance saw this and said quickly:

"No, what kind of strong drink can a child drink? If you are thirsty, I will ask someone to get you a glass of fruit wine."

Enid said:

"No, no need."

Lance took a sip of brandy:

"Has your mother ever told you about how we met?"

Enid shook her head.

Lance exhaled:

"Ha, she was right not to say it. That was a terrible mistake. We should not have met or fallen in love. It was not long after our wedding that I realized this fact, so I was still young at the time and struggled to think

To escape.

"I fought hard for my own destiny, and although I made some mistakes, the one I still regret is that I ignored your feelings.

"Your birth was of extraordinary significance to me at that time."

The man took another sip of wine:

"Although we all thought it was just an accident at first and didn't expect that everything was actually destined, I still felt happy when I saw your red little face.

"Don't blame your mother at that time. She was the same as me. We can't control our own lives. The difference is that I discovered the problem earlier, but she realized this fact later than me.

"I'm not defending her. I haven't been with you for so many years, so I don't know what you went through later.

"I am simply stating the fact that when she was young, she was as ignorant as I was. We both did some wrong things, but sometimes they were not necessarily our intentions."

Enid knew that the man understood part of her thoughts in some way that was unclear to her.

Lance continued:

"But things are not that simple, and I have not fulfilled my due responsibilities. Although I actually have very legitimate reasons, I feel that I still need to apologize to you."

Enid asked:

"What reason?"

Lance explained:

"It's not that I haven't fought for it. I actually tried to get the power to raise you, but it's obvious that Mr. George doesn't trust me to ensure your 'growth'. Of course, I don't think they can help you grow.

"But when I went to court to fight her for custody of you, by the way, she was not a justice at that time.

"But I was in danger, my life was threatened.

"If I had continued, I would probably have become a useless person who could only lie in bed for the rest of my life, unable to tell the truth.

"I'm sorry, kid, I was scared at that time.
