Chapter 1388 - 1328: Each One More Troublesome Than the Last

Sienna Johnson called General Taylor, and there seemed to be the sound of gunfire over there, like a war taking place.

Sienna felt like she might have called at the wrong time, saying, "Sir, is it convenient for you to talk now? If not, I can call back later."

"Who are you?" the old man shouted.

The old man’s voice was loud enough to make Sienna’s eardrums shake.

"Hello, I am Sienna Johnson."

"Oh, Kevin’s mother-in-law."

Sienna: ...

"Kevin’s mother-in-law, why are you calling me? Did Kevin cause trouble again?" General Taylor knew his grandson’s nature well, "Kevin’s mother-in-law, if Kevin’s causing trouble again, you can just smack him hard. He can take the beating; he won’t be harmed."

This was just superficial politeness; each family cherishes their own children.

If she truly hit him, wouldn’t General Taylor hold her accountable?

Sienna politely said, "Sir, you can call me Mrs. Desmond. I’m not Kevin’s mother-in-law."

"Haha..."

Sienna proceeded to tell General Taylor about Kevin setting up a tent outside their house, while she chose to conceal the part about Kevin’s public toilet habits, as discussing such matters with an elderly person didn’t seem appropriate.

"...Kevin’s mother-in-law, if he wants to stay, let him stay."

Sienna interrupted the old man, saying, "Sir, do you know how cold it gets at night in Sileria City?"

"It’s fine, that kid is tough; he won’t freeze to death."

"Sir, he is your only grandson, don’t you worry about him? I think..."

The old man interrupted her, saying, "Kevin’s mother-in-law, you’re his mother-in-law; if you don’t worry about him, why should I?"

With another rumble of gunfire, a deep voice suddenly announced, "Report, General, we have occupied the ninth highland, but have not captured the opposing commander."

"The damn legs of his grandmother, a bunch of useless people, you didn’t catch the sissy! Tell them whoever catches the sissy, I’ll take them out to pick up girls tonight..."

Sienna: ...

"Kevin’s mother-in-law, I’m currently in a military exercise, we can talk about whatever the issue is later. Kevin, that kid is quite resilient, he won’t die, so you don’t have to worry."

Sienna silently hung up the phone, feeling she really shouldn’t have made the call.

Not all families are alike.

The Taylor family, indeed, is not something ordinary people like them can deal with.

...

In the evening, Sienna returned home from work, the tent was still there. Elliott Wilson was wrapped in a military coat, while Kevin was wrapped in a smaller-sized military coat, and both were grilling chicken to eat.

Seeing Sally, Elliott smiled broadly, showing his white teeth, "Sally, I’m grilling chicken, do you want to have some?"

Sally, with a dark face, walked in with Sienna.

Sally saw the woman entering, ignoring him completely, his expression dimmed.

Kevin, seeing this, said, "Don’t lose heart; my dad pursued my mom for 25 years before he succeeded. You’ve only been pursuing for a few days."

Elliott wanted to cry, "If I pursue Sally for 25 years, my thing won’t be usable anymore."

"True."

Elliott: ...

Snow began to fall from the sky; it was sleet. The two remained sitting there, grilling chicken. The cold wind slashed across their faces like a knife, reddening Kevin’s face.

Looking at Kevin, Elliott thought this child was quite pitiful, "Kevin, if you really manage to win Claire over, you must treat her well."

Kevin glared, "I’m no good but haven’t played around with women."

"You are only five years old; can you get hard?"

"Of course!"

Kevin was raised within the troops from birth; after his parents passed away, although General Taylor adored him, General Taylor was ultimately rough-edged and didn’t know how to educate children.

Kevin spent his days with the soldiers, who lived without seeing women, often gathering to talk mainly about women, discussing many unsuitable topics for children. Hence, Kevin knew all he should and even things he shouldn’t about male-female relationships.

He once especially mentioned this matter to General Taylor, who was extremely broad-minded and carefree.

"Why worry about such things? Men won’t suffer losses in these matters... The Taylor family has only this one sprout left. I wish he’d give me a great-grandson soon..."

Having spent so much time together, they had developed feelings, but Elliott worried that this child might stray off the right path and needed good guidance, "Um... Such things shouldn’t be done before turning 18."

"Oh."

"You must not mess around!"

"..."

Elliott solemnly said, "Since you intend to marry her and make her your wife, you must cherish her well. Bullying women isn’t manly."

"But you also bully Sally."

"What I do isn’t bullying. This morning, I couldn’t bear to hit her; she was truly harsh to me, my chest still hurts."

Seeing the chicken was done, Elliott tore off a chicken leg for Kevin and handed it to him, "Eat it."

Kevin squatted there, munching the chicken leg, his mood entirely unaffected.

"Johnson Family is really wealthy." Kevin suddenly said.

"What?"

"The two stone lions at the entrance are made of silver."

Elliott looked over; they seemed like ordinary stone lions, "Aren’t those made of stone?"

"It’s silver inside."

Elliott was about to ask how Kevin knew this when Kevin said, "With such a prominent family, if I were poor, wouldn’t my woman suffer with me?"

"But..." Elliott calculated his savings, he seemed quite poor too.

"Do you think I should sell arms or deal drugs for money? Those two earn the quickest."

Elliott swallowed his words; this child was going astray, "Kevin, that is illegal."

Kevin looked at him as if he were an idiot, "Nowadays, how can one make money without resorting to shady means?"

Elliott looked at him seriously, "If you truly go into drug dealing, the Johnson Family would never marry their daughter to a drug lord."

"Can’t it be done secretly?"

"No!"

"..."

"Your father-in-law isn’t an ordinary character; I’ve heard he’s well-connected in both black and white circles. If you’re dealing drugs, how could you hide it from him?"

Kevin said worriedly, "Then how do I get lots of money?"

"Didn’t your grandpa leave you a lot of money?"

Elliott felt quite failed, being poorer than a five-year-old kid.

"It’s not enough!"

Elliott looked at Kevin; Kevin didn’t know what he was thinking, not even eating the chicken leg.

Elliott consoled, "Actually, I think having no money is not bad; at least a woman loves you not for your money."

"Is it bad if a woman loves me for money?"

"Of course it’s bad!"
