Chapter 14 Three days
Noel didn't move at all and merely let Stanley to scold and kick him. Noel knew that after he finished, he would still help him.
After he was done, Stanley looked at Noel and said angrily, "I want to meet that girl." It must be this guy who hurt that girl. Stanley knew that Noel was being a playboy in the past few years. He had thought that things would be better if he let Timothy and Charles keep an eye on him, but he didn't expect that Noel actually got someone pregnant.
Noel also wanted to meet Yvonne now, but the point was that she was eager to go back to her hometown now.
"Sir, please help me get authorized and I need to deal with the household registration of the child first."
Stanley was a wise man. He knew that Noel must have something to hide from him since he dared to say that.
"You brat, do you want to force her?"
"How is that possible?" That would mean that he wasn't attractive enough. Noel would never admit anything that despised his own charm.
Although he did want to force Yvonne to listen to him, he wouldn't tell him.
Stanley started to pace back and forth. He wanted to kick Noel again, but considering that he had kicked him hard enough today and that there would be a large-scale military exercise in a few days, which would definitely need Noel to perform. Therefore, he couldn't just disable his soldier.
"Fuck off!"
Noel finally smiled, knowing that Stanley had agreed to help him. Enduring the pain on his leg, he said with a smile, "Sir, it's up to you whether I can have a wife or not in my life. I'll pick them up in a few days." Watching Noel leave, Stanley suddenly stopped him at the door, "wait. Come back." Stanley took a few steps forward and said, "Tell me the truth. Are you married for the child, or for the child's mother? Don't you dare get divorced later."
Noel lowered his head slightly, with a flash of light in his eyes. He looked up at Stanley and said, "Uncle, I know what I'm doing. I really want to marry her."
Stanley looked at him for a while and waved his hand to let him out. He sat back on the sofa and lit a cigarette.
He didn't know how long it had been since the last time Noel called him Uncle, which proved that he was doing it for real this time. It was really good news. At least he finally moved on.
Noel went out of Stanley's house and felt the pain in his leg. His leg really hurt a lot. Stanley had kicked him so hard this time.
But fortunately, things were settled. It was all Yvonne's fault. If she hadn't run away five years ago, they would have married, and Jacob wouldn't have been an illegitimate child. He would make her pay for what he had suffered today sooner or later. As for how to pay for it, this cunning man certainly had a better way.
When Noel arrived at the dormitory building, he saw Charles just coming back. Seeing him parking the car, Noel asked, "Where have you been in the middle of the night?"
"Today is Lori's birthday. We celebrate it for her." The expression on Charles's face didn't look good. But when he saw Noel walking awkwardly, he frowned and asked, "What's wrong with your leg?" He didn't see that Noel was injured during the training. What kind of person was Noel? He would never utter a sound even if he was suffering from unbearable pain.
"It was kicked by Stanley." Noel turned around and went upstairs. He just told the truth.
Charles scratched his forehead. 'What's going on? Is he going to kick Noel to death?'
When he was about to catch up, he saw Timothy who had just returned from training. He wanted to laugh when he saw his poker face.
Placing one hand on his shoulder, Charles asked with a smile, "Timothy, have you ever smiled? I mean smiling a bit won't kill you." Timothy didn't stop and just went upstairs.
"It can't kill me, but I'm afraid it'll kill you." When Timothy saw Noel walking, he frowned and looked back at Charles.
Charles shrugged. He was not the one who beat him. Besides, he wouldn't be able to hurt him at all.
The three of them still had to discuss about the military exercise. Noel opened the door and let them get in his room directly. He went to find something to heal his leg. He couldn't affect the exercise because of this.
Timothy and Charles looked at the bruises on Noel's leg and thought that Stanley was really ruthless. The two of them were curious about how this man had offended Stanley and made him kick so hard. Noel cast a cold glance at Charles who was being so curious, took out the map and opened it, letting them watch the base of the red force. This time, the task of their special forces was a decapitation operation, while the other troops had different missions. They just needed to take down the center part.
"Timothy, you're the best in jungle fighting. Charles, you're familiar with mountain fighting. There may be three command centers of them the middle of the jungle, the hillside here, and the waterfall here." While watching the map, Timothy suddenly coughed out loud, which made the other two look at him.
Noel went to pour him a glass of water, "Are you okay? It's not good to cough like this frequently. Go to the hospital after this exercise."
Timothy took the glass and drank up. He waved his hand indifferently and said, "It's nothing. There's no need to go to the hospital. I think they must be thinking the same thing. These three places may not the targets."
Charles nodded in agreement, but he still slightly kicked Timothy. "Go and have a look. Don't wait until it turns to be a big problem." Charles had been in the army for almost two years and always saw Timothy coughing. Stanley had asked him to go to the hospital several times, but he didn't go. The most strange thing was that the doctor didn't find anything wrong with him either when they did the routine examination in the army.
Timothy just ignored them. He knew his own body. "Here, and here will be the area which needs to be observed."
The three of them didn't go home until it was very late. Charles and Timothy told Noel to take good care of his legs and don't let anything bad happen to him.
After the two left, Noel looked at his watch. It was more than twelve o'clock. It was not long before he got up again.
He went to the bathroom to take a shower, thinking that he would go to pick up Yvonne and Jacob tomorrow or the day after tomorrow after Stanley helped him.
He had promised Jacob. And that Jacob would stop Yvonne from leaving. Thinking that there would be a woman and a child in this house in the future, he looked at the empty bathroom and was actually worried about whether she would like this place.
The emergency whistle resounded through the whole building. As he walked, he grabbed his clothes and met Charles and Timothy on the way out.
This time, Stanley gave a level three emergency whistle. All the people gathered. When they arrived, they saw Stanley standing in front of the team with a serious face.
The whole team was counting off. After they finished, they waited for the order of Stanley.
The mission was not complicated, but it was difficult. More than 400 prominent business figures had gone to a cruise party, and they had lost contact for a week. They were closely related to the city's economy. Before the market economy was in chaos, they had to find a way to track down these people.
Now the news had been leaked out, and the market had some fluctuations. The government didn't give them much time, so they merely got a week.
Stanley looked at Noel, Charles and Timothy. This golden triangle was indispensable.
"This mission must be completed in any case. Every one of you can take two teams to the places where the accident happened in the sea."
"Yes, sir!" The three of them saluted and accepted the task seriously. Then they turned around and began to assign tasks to their soldiers.
Looking at Noel, Stanley walked a few steps forward and patted him on the shoulder. "When you come back, I'll get this done for you. Then you can go and bring them here."
Noel remembered what he had promised his son. He only got three days. But at this time, he didn't get a chance to call his son and tell him that he was on a mission. What should he do? ☐☐☐
