The Return of Lord

Chapter 4 First Time Becoming a Father

Milton had thought so many times about the day when he met Natalie. He had secretly practiced countless times how he should react. However, when he saw Natalie, he found that the previous practice was useless. At this time, he did not dare to look back at the woman to whom he owed a lot and whom he had missed for five years.

"Dad!"

Before Milton could turn his head, a familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind him. Milton's body fiercely trembled. When he turned around, a petite figure rushed over with a face full of joy.

Just now at the airport, this little girl called him daddy.

Milton squatted down and hugged the little girl in his arms.

It was so natural, as if he had already hugged this little girl a hundred times.

At that moment, Natalie also saw Milton. Their eyes met, and for a moment, the entire space seemed to freeze. There were only two of them.

In the past five years, Natalie's figure had appeared countless times in Milton's mind. His longing and guilt towards Natalie motivated him to become stronger. To be worthy of her, Milton endured a lot of pain.

Natalie's eyes were fixed on Milton. She had mixed feelings.

"Natalie, I'm back!" Milton was the first to break the silence.

Natalie recovered from her shock. The expression on Natalie's beautiful face gradually turned cold.

Milton clearly saw the expression on Natalie's face change from shock to confusion, and then to overflowing hatred.

Five years ago, the two of them were tricked and had a night together. For the sake of the Royston family's reputation, Natalie married Milton. Natalie was the kind of woman who valued chastity more than her life, so she accepted that.

However, she never expected that Milton would suddenly disappear a month after the marriage. Later, her mother told her that Milton took 80 thousand dollars from her father.

Just then, she discovered that she was pregnant.

Later, the Royston family took advantage of the days when she was pregnant and said that Natalie was a disgrace to the family to forcefully take the Sander Group that she had founded from her.

Thinking of those dark days and the tears that she secretly shed on countless nights, Natalie was full of hatred for Milton, who left without saying goodbye.

"If you had died, I would have accepted it. However, after you disappeared for five years, you appeared in front of me and exposed my past scars. Are you happy?"

Natalie let out a heart-wrenching cry, as if she wanted to vent all the suppressed emotions in her heart over the years.

Looking at his beloved woman in pain, Milton felt as if a knife was being pierced into his heart.

"Natalie, I'm sorry!"

Milton walked forward with a sincere face. Besides apologizing, he did not know what else to say.

"Why did you leave without a word five years ago?" Natalie bit her red lips and stared at Milton.

"I want to be worthy of you!" Looking at Natalie's beautiful face that was just inches away from him, Milton responded with a resolute voice. Before returning this time, he had already vowed that he would never allow the woman in front of him to suffer a single bit of harm.

Sharon suddenly sneered and looked at Milton mockingly.

"That's hilarious. Back then, you said that as long as my husband gave you 80 thousand dollars, you would never meet Natalie again."

Milton immediately denied it. "I didn't!"

There was a flash of intimidating light in his eyes. Sharon was framing him.

Sharon sneered. "No? Then let me ask you. Five years ago, did my husband give you 80 thousand dollars?"

Milton explained, "I borrowed 80 thousand dollars from Jerry, but I didn't use it. The next day, I returned everything to Jerry."

"Bullshit! After you took the money, you disappeared completely. I never saw you until today. When did you pay the money back?" Jerry immediately denied it.

Sharon and Jerry did not give Milton the slightest chance to explain and convicted Milton of taking the money and leaving.

Natalie raised her hand and slapped Milton.

She pointed at the door and said emotionally, "Get lost! Get lost!"

The little girl in Milton's arms burst into tears.

"Mom, don't chase Dad away. All the other children have Dad, but I don't. I want Dad. Mom, don't drive Dad away! Don't drive Dad away!"

The little girl cried sadly. Her voice was filled with tears, and her hands were still tightly hugging Milton's neck, afraid that if she let go, she would never be able to see her father again.

Natalie immediately panicked. She didn't have the time to continue criticizing Milton. She hurriedly hugged her daughter tightly. She continuously said, "I won't drive Dad away. Don't cry, Jennifer. Don't cry."

As she spoke, tears silently fell from her eyes. No matter how much she hated Milton in her heart, he was still her daughter's father. For her daughter, Natalie was willing to do anything and could endure anything.

"Dad, Mom has promised that she won't chase you away. Then you should promise me that you will never leave Mom and me again, okay?" Jennifer cried while looking at Milton expectantly.

The conversation between the mother and daughter was not loud, but Milton heard that. It was like a clap of thunder hitting him, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrollably.

When he first saw Jennifer at the airport, he found that her facial features were somewhat similar to his. Jennifer was only four years old. All of this told Milton that Jennifer was his daughter!

Could it be Jennifer was the result of what happened five years ago?

Natalie was pregnant for one year, and today was Jennifer's fourth birthday. It was almost five years, which matched the time he left.

The more Milton thought about it, the more shocked he became. He suddenly walked forward, looked at the beautiful woman with tears in her eyes, and asked with a trembling voice, "She, she is our daughter?"

Natalie looked hesitant. After a while, she nodded. Milton was the father of her child, and he was qualified to know the truth.

Although he had already guessed it, when Natalie personally confirmed it, it still made Milton excited.

The King of War actually shed tears. He felt guilty.

Milton suddenly held his daughter in his arms and whispered in her ear, "Daddy promises you that I will never leave you and Mommy for the rest of my life."

Although his voice was very soft, it was sonorous and forceful. As a general, he would not easily make promises. A promise was a lifetime.

"Let go of my granddaughter!"

At this harmonious moment, Sharon took two steps forward and snatched Jennifer from Milton's hands.

Milton was afraid of hurting the child, so he had no choice but to give up.

Overwhelming anger rose up, but when Milton saw his daughter, he recalled the pain of Natalie giving birth to her, as well as the rumors and humiliation she had endured all these years. He forcefully suppressed his anger.

"Natalie, I know you are soft-hearted, but this time, your father and I will never let you suffer again."

Sharon was furious. She then pointed at the gold and silver jewelry on the table. "This is the betrothal gift from Jaxson. Your father and I have already accepted it for you. You should divorce this useless man now and get ready to marry Jaxson."

Natalie and Milton hadn't seen anything about a divorce, but Sharon had already started to plan for Natalie to remarry.

If it weren't for the sake of his wife and daughter, Milton would have already gotten mad at Sharon.

"Boohoo..."

Jennifer started crying again. "Grandma, don't chase daddy away. I want daddy. Don't chase daddy away."

Although the little girl was still young, she could understand Sharon's words. For a moment, she burst into tears again. This made Milton, who became a father for the first time, feel as if his heart was going to break.

Sharon had an impatient look on her face as she reprimanded her coldly, "Jennifer, shut up! Your father is dead. He is not your father. If you cry again, I will lock you in the room."

Jennifer's body obviously trembled, and she did not dare to cry out again. She could only hold her tears but kept sobbing. She looked pitifully at Natalie, then at Milton.

Looking at his daughter's fearful appearance, Milton knew that Sharon must have locked her up before.

The anger in his heart suddenly rose. Suddenly, the temperature of the entire room seemed to have dropped several degrees!
