Chapter 2864: Chapter 54: Day Four (5)

Before long, Harrison Lucas finished eating, washed his dishes and cutlery, and stood upright by the table: "Major General, you enjoy your meal slowly, I’m off to training. Leave the dishes and cutlery, I’ll wash them when I get back."

After saying this, without waiting for Jordan Lancaster’s response, he dashed off like a whirlwind.

Watching the distant figure of Harrison Lucas running away, Jordan Lancaster’s gaze was deep and contemplative.

He was just hesitating whether to stop Harrison Lucas and let him rest at home.

But in the moment of hesitation, Harrison Lucas had already run off.

Jordan Lancaster found the breakfast in his bowl tasteless, finished eating, stood up, and slickly tidied up the dishes and cutlery, taking them to the kitchen to wash clean.

Though he was the eldest son of the Lucas family, he was also the military’s youngest and most promising General.

Since his time at the Military Academy, he often went on missions, progressing step by step like ordinary training soldiers; Jordan Lancaster would also do these tasks.

After washing the dishes and cutlery clean, he put them away, but the man did not leave the kitchen.

His tall and slender figure made the small kitchen seem exceedingly cramped, even making the whole kitchen appear confined.

The man’s deep gaze fell on the various equipment in the kitchen.

Refrigerator, stove, oven, microwave, even a mixer—all were available; it was a very well-equipped kitchen.

Unaware of how long he had been looking, the man suddenly made a move.

He took out his cell phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello, mother..." When the call was answered, the man’s voice became notably gentler.

"Ben, you’re finally done... I haven’t heard your voice in a few days, I miss you so much." Lily Redington’s voice, gentle yet joyful, came from the other end of the call.

No matter how many years passed, her Ben was always the most considerate child.

The son almost called her every day, and for the two days he hadn’t, Lily Redington assumed he was on a mission.

Because Jordan Lancaster only couldn’t call when he had a mission at hand.

Lily respected her son’s work and wouldn’t rashly disturb him, but she always had Jordan Lancaster’s call set to a special ringtone, placed in the forefront.

Because the eldest son’s work was the most dangerous, every call represented ’safety’.

"Mm, I miss mother too. Next time I have a long holiday, I’ll come back to see you." Jordan Lancaster gave almost all his patience to his mother—even at his age, at his status, his words remained unchanged.

Lily laughed: "Alright, when you come back, you can see Molly, Molly is about to take her college entrance exams... Once her exams end, it’s almost time for you two’s engagement banquet."

Jordan Lancaster’s brows slightly furrowed; he had previously not resisted being paired with Molly Wellington, that little girl—anyway, whoever he was with would be the same, as long as his mother was happy.

But today, quite out of character, he found the suggestion very jarring.

He was truly too abnormal recently.

Jordan Lancaster rubbed his temples with his long fingers, speaking softly: "We’ll talk about it later... I’ll try to take leave."

But facing his mother, he never spoke words that could make her upset and disappointed.

Lily had no idea about her eldest son’s hesitations on the other end, still believing her eldest son was very satisfied with Molly, his fiancée.

She inquired about her son’s recent situation, reminding him to eat and rest well, not to be overly workaholic, and when on missions, to remember to protect himself.

Jordan Lancaster listened throughout, with not a hint of impatience on his face.

Unlike many men who grew up and moved away, finding their mother’s nagging bothersome, Jordan Lancaster valued Lily Redington’s reminders.

Because of lacking from a young age, he cherished them.

In this world, the person he valued the most was his mother.

When Lily thought she had finished reminding her son about everything, and that he was about to hang up, she then heard her son’s low, rumbling voice from the other end—

"Mother, how do you make a strawberry cream cake?"

Lily Redington: "...Mm?"
