Chapter 1375: A Loveless Business Marriage-1
George’s situation was no better; he was sent to the harshest conditions in the northern border for labor reform. He would likely die there!
Thinking of this, Channing felt a wave of relief wash over him. A light smile appeared on his handsome face as he tightly held Cheyenne’s hand.
“Do you want to see her? Come back to Onistead with me. That’s where all our memories with her are.”
“But…” Cheyenne hesitated. She really wanted to see her mommy and visit the place where her parents lived.
“What about Grandpa? If I go with you, he won’t find me when he comes back, and what about my little brothers?”
At this moment, Kelvin stepped in. He also hoped Cheyenne would come to Onistead. The Foley Group’s business had already expanded northward. For at least the next three years, he would be living in Onistead, where Cheyenne could receive the best education.
“Cheyenne, I’ll talk to your grandpa. He’ll agree.”
Hearing the familiar voice and seeing the familiar figure, the little girl happily pushed away her father and ran towards the young man.
“Kelvin, when did you get here!”
Kelvin smiled and opened his arms to catch the little girl steadily. After nearly two months apart, she looked even cuter and more beautiful.
“I came with Uncle.”
While the two chatted happily, the old father started feeling jealous. He had just found his biological daughter and hadn’t hugged her enough before she pushed him away. It was all because he showed up too late.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
In his jealousy, he forgot that the boy had just called him “Grandpa.”
With Kelvin’s persuasion, Cheyenne agreed to transfer schools. Although she was reluctant to leave her grandpa, he was really busy and could only be home for two days a month at best.
At home, besides the servants, there was only Cheyenne herself. Over time, neighbors and classmates knew she had no parents and considered her an orphan. They often spoke ill of her behind her back.
Initially, Cheyenne would cry and miss Kelvin. Later, she realized that only by becoming strong herself would she not fear others. So she learned to fight and became the leader by strength.
Now that she had found her father and had Kelvin’s protection, she no longer needed to fight herself! As for her two loyal followers, Reece and Kate vowed that they would choose Onistead for college!
The three made a plan to reunite in college and worked hard towards it in the coming days. Reece’s sudden diligence earned him many rewards from his nouveau riche pig-farming father.
His son finally showed promise, all thanks to that girl from the Lawrence family! Kate was also quite capable herself, and with a top-student brother, catching up on grades was easy.
Follower No. 1 Reece: “I will work hard to continue being Cheyenne’s follower in three years!”
Follower No. 2 Kate: “I will go to Onistead; my future sister-in-law is waiting for me!”
Eddie: “?”
A month later, Channing returned to Onistead with his precious daughter and a shameless tag-along who owed him a favor. He first went to the police station to change Cheyenne’s household registration; from today on, her name was “Cheyenne Lucas.” Then he went to Wind Hall to seek forgiveness from his father-in-law.
Initially, old Mr. Edwards didn’t want to deal with him. Entrusting his daughter to Channing was the biggest mistake of his life! He deliberately ignored him for two months. But nothing could change Channing’s determination to make amends. For those two months, he visited the Edwards family daily to show his sincerity. With Cheyenne’s help and future son-in-law’s assistance, old Mr. Edwards finally forgave him and agreed to let his granddaughter recognize her ancestry.
Although he could take care of Cheyenne, his responsibilities were too heavy. In their rare times together, he often had to ask others for help; overall, he spent too little time with her. Entrusting Cheyenne to her biological father wasn’t a bad idea. That man had promised never to remarry or have more children; all his assets would go to Cheyenne.
For the first time as a father, Channing proved to be a qualified one. He worked at the company during the day but always returned home on time for dinner with his daughter, no matter how busy or tired he was. No matter how many admirers tried to seduce him outside, he had only one response-“Get lost!”
He actively participated in parent-teacher meetings and always brought generous gifts for all students and staff at school to make Cheyenne proud. Soon, everyone at school knew that Cheyenne Lucas’s dad was a handsome man! And very rich and generous too.
As long as they praised his precious daughter in front of Channing, they would either get promoted or get a raise. In short, offending anyone was better than offending the little princess of the Lucas family. Everyone started currying favor with her, making it hard for Cheyenne to find someone to fight with…
