In the dim light, a loud noise and pungent alcohol filled the air.

In a semi-open cubicle, a middle-aged man lies in the center of a spacious sofa.

The man has a face with a bit of handsomeness buried, and this well-maintained face is buried in the arms of two young and beautiful ladies.

The man looked up, stretched out his hands, and took both ladies into his arms.

"Mr. Lance, you're so strong. ”

The woman on the left said with a look of dependence and reverence.

Lance says:

"Don't look at my age, but I'm still exercising every day, don't you know, two days ago, a young man from the Pure White Knights had a fight with me.

"At first, he caught me off guard with his young reflexes, but it took me less than five moves to get used to his speed, and then I finally defeated him with plenty of stamina and superb swordsmanship.

"If you were there, you probably wouldn't believe what you saw, but I had an eight-minute duel with him. ”

Although the two ladies couldn't quite understand what it was like to fight for eight minutes in swordsmanship, they still felt what Lance was trying to say.

Abundant physical strength.

The woman lying on Lance's right let out a coquettish laugh, trying to tease Lance.

Click.

The crisp footsteps had a powerful penetrating power and struck directly into Lance's chest.

He pushed the two people beside him away, then hurriedly sorted out his clothes, and motioned for the two to sit quietly with serious eyes.

He smiled at the door that hadn't yet opened.

Enid pushed the door open.

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

"Look who's coming? my dear daughter. ”

Nervousness and excitement appear at the same time

Enid looked around the cubicle.

Two women sat on the couch on either side, one of them looking a little nervous and at a loss as to what to do.

The expression of another woman, who didn't look much older, was quite different, she was much calmer, and there was a hint of undisguised impatience and contempt in the depths of her eyes.

She was impatient with Enid and contemptuous of Lance.

Enid looked at her father, who had put his arm down without embarrassment:

"Mr. Lance, long time no see. ”

A wave of loss came.

The man restrained his smile:

"Mr. Lance, don't call me father, I know it's a little pathetic and ridiculous now, but I didn't invite you here. ”

He looked at Enid with an indifferent expression, and suddenly his expression relaxed again, and then sighed:

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

She felt the sincerity.

Lance continued:

"Kid, I don't know what made you here all of a sudden, but I think you must have something you want 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, so many years. ”

A thick guilt began to spread, covering the bad taste of alcohol.

But the smell is even more pungent.

Lance was silent for a moment before speaking:

"I've never talked to you about this kind of thing, and you've never asked me about it. "No. 3 Chinese Network

Enid says:

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

Abandon me.

Lance showed a complicated expression:

"I, I'm not......

"Alas, I was still too young at that time, and there are some things that you actually thought about for a long time even if you didn't come to ask me, and I was very miserable, 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, sit down first, I'll tell you slowly, and you two, get out. ”

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

Lance poured brandy into the glass in front of him.

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

Seeing this, Lance hurriedly said:

"No, what kind of liquor do children drink, and if you are thirsty, I will have someone bring you a glass of fruit wine. ”

Enid says:

"No, no. ”

Lance took a small sip of brandy:

"Did your mother tell you about our encounter? ”

Enid shook her head.

Lance exhaled:

"Ha, she didn't say it was right, it was a terrible mistake, we shouldn't have met, we shouldn't have loved, and it was shortly after I got married that I realized this fact, so I was still young and struggling to escape.

"I fought hard for my fate, and although I made some mistakes along the way, one of which I still regret is that I ignored your feelings.

"Your birth meant a lot to me at that time. ”

The man took another sip of wine:

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

"Don't blame your mother at that time, she was like me, we couldn't control our lives, the difference was that I found out about the problem earlier, and she realized it later than I did.

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

"I'm just stating the fact that when she was younger, she was just as ignorant as I was, and we both did something wrong, but sometimes it wasn't necessarily our intention. ”

Enid knew that the man understood part of her thoughts in a way that she didn't understand.

Lance continued:

"But it's not that simple, and I haven't done my part, and although I have a very valid reason, I feel like I still need to apologize to you. ”

Enid asked:

"What reason?"

Lance explains:

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

"But when I went to the courthouse to fight her for custody of you, by the way, she wasn't a justice at that time.

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

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

"I'm sorry kid, I was scared.

"I couldn't fight fate to the end for you. ”
