Chapter 13 I Want To Marry Someone
Noel didn't care what Emma said. He still looked straight at Yvonne who was lowering her head and suddenly felt angry. Did this woman only know to be a coward?
It was very late now. He had to go back to the base before seven o'clock, but this woman had given him a hard time.
He could only blame it on her father. If her father hadn't come, she would have left with him by now.
"Yvonne, I have to leave now. Wait for me until I come back." After saying that, Noel left directly. He would deal with all the things that worried her first, and then helped her pack up all the things and took her away. It was not up to her whether she wanted to leave or not.
Watching him leave, Yvonne suddenly felt that she had lost something. She had to admit that she had already had a thing for this man after seeing him for only a few times. But today, her father's appearance reminded her again not to be greedy for anything that didn't belong to her.
Emma sighed, went to get the ice and asked her to sit down. "Apply it on your face, or it will be swollen tomorrow. I wonder if he is really your father. How could he do that? If-" Emma got so furious that she couldn't stop talking about what just happened, but when she saw Yvonne's gloomy face, she twitched her mouth awkwardly and scratched her long hair. "Yvonne, honey, I'm sorry. I didn't mean it." Yvonne tried to force a smile and said to her in a low voice, "it's okay." It was true. If Yvonne didn't look like her father, Emma would doubt if she was really his daughter. What kind of father would do that to his own daughter?
"Mommy, don't worry. I'm here for you!" Jacob was slowly blowing on Yvonne's face to try to ease her pain. He was afraid that if he blew too hard, he would hurt his mommy.
Yvonne touched her son's little face and said, "good boy, Mommy doesn't hurt." Holding Jacob in her arms, she sat down and said, "Emma, I want to go back with Jacob in a few days. The expense here is too high. We can't afford that."
"But I can—" Seeing the way Yvonne looked at her, Emma withdrew her words. She knew Yvonne well. Although she didn't have a diploma, she had her own pride.
"When are you leaving?"
"Maybe these days. I haven't rented out the house in the countryside. I'll call Margaret later and tell her that I'll go back in these days." Margaret was a kind old lady living in Yvonne's house in the countryside. Jacob didn't say a word and just stayed in his mommy's arms. He didn't want to go back. He wanted his dad and mom to be together, but now since his mother wanted to leave, of course he would leave with her.
Emma called for takeout, for no one was in the mood to cook now.
Yvonne still had work to finish, so she let Jacob play for a while himself. She then went to continue her work. Jacob was also in a bad mood. He nodded gloomily and climbed onto the bed to play with his mother's phone.
On the way back to the army, Noel was literally racing. He couldn't stop thinking about Yvonne, the silly woman.
Jacob looked back at his mother who was in a daze in front of the computer and didn't type anything at all. He then turned to look at his mother's phone and frowned. He didn't have his father's phone number. The more Noel thought about it, the angrier he became. He took out his phone and dialed the number his friend had given him.
Jacob saw his mother's mobile phone vibrate and then looked at his mother who was still in a daze. He answered the phone himself, "hello..."
Noel was about to say something, but when he heard his son's voice, he calmed himself down.
"Jacob, where is Mommy?"
Jacob looked back at his mother again and sneaked into the quilt. "Mommy is in a daze."
'In a daze?' Noel slowed down the car and frowned. He suddenly realized what she was thinking.
"Mommy is going to take me back to the countryside and we'll leave in a few days."
Noel had been in the army for so many years, so he was good at reading people's mind. Jacob was too young to hide anything he wanted. He could tell that Jacob wanted him to ask them to stay. Noel believed that this obviously meant that Jacob liked him.
At the thought of this possibility, Noel was in a good mood. 'That woman wanted to leave? Over my dead body!' He thought to himself.
"Jacob, you and Mommy just wait for a few days at godmother's house. Daddy will pick you up in a few days." After saying that, Noel drove into the gate of the army base. Instead of going back to his dormitory, he decided to go to Stanley's house and also said to his son, "Jacob, if Mommy wants to leave, you have to find a way to hold on to her. I promise to pick you and Mommy up in three days at most."
Hearing his father's promise, Jacob was finally in a better mood. When he was about to say something, he heard his mother's voice.
"Jacob, honey, are you asleep?" Yvonne looked at her son who was wrapped in a quilt and wondered why he went to bed so early today. Yvonne lifted the quilt and looked at her son who was like a frightened rabbit and was staring at her with his big and bright eyes.
Jacob's face was red because he had stayed in the quilt for a long time. He hung up the phone behind his back with his little hands and threw himself into his mother's arms, acting like a cute baby who wanted his mother's hug.
Yvonne didn't know what happened, but her son rarely asked her to hug him. This little boy was precocious and rarely act like this. Of course, she picked him up without saying anything and kissed him on the face. "Mommy will hold you to sleep, okay?"
Looking at the phone that was hung up, Noel arched his eyebrows slightly. This little guy was really smart, which just made Noel love him more.
For his son who appeared out of nowhere, Noel was indeed surprised, doubted, and even confused before. After all, he had never thought of being a father before, especially when he suddenly needed to be a father of a five-year-old boy.
However, he liked his son. Maybe it was because blood was thicker than water. The little boy appeared in his mind.
When Stanley arrived at home and just sat down, he heard the doorbell ringing. He arched his eyebrows slightly, thinking that only those three men would come to see him at this time. Stanley took a look at his wife and asked her to open the door.
After greeting Stanley and his wife, Noel came in and said something that really shocked Stanley, "Sir, I want to marry someone."
Stanley almost spat out the water he just took. He then took the towel from his wife, wiped his mouth and gave Noel a kick. "Fuck off! Don't make trouble for me now."
Noel didn't dodge and was kicked hard by Stanley, but he didn't move at all.
"I want to get married!"
Stanley hadn't come back to his senses yet because of what Noel had said about the child the other day. And now, he was saying that he was going to get married. Wasn't he looking for trouble?
"It's a good thing that he wants to get married. Hold your horses. Just hear him out." Stanley's wife hit him on the shoulder, took a towel and looked at Noel, "it's a good thing. I'll just leave you guys to talk." Seeing that she went back to her room, Noel looked straight at Stanley.
Stanley was a bit angry and looked at him coldly. "If you want to get married, fine, just go to report to the superior."
Noel stopped staring at him this time. If he could take usual procedures, was it necessary for him to come to him in the middle of the night?
"And I have a baby now, he is about five years old now." Noel told the truth.
Stanley knew what he was going to say, so he gave him a hard kick this time. He was a soldier. Didn't he know that it was against the discipline to do so? The child was about five years old! Didn't he ever think of getting married before the child was born? Stanley then withdrew his feet which were about to kick him again. He said, "Go and get Timothy and Charles here. I ask them to keep an eye on you every year. What are they doing? You've already had a baby. I thought you had thought it through in the past few years. But now this is what you did? You little bastard!" Stanley was so furious that he kicked Noel again.
