Five years ago, he left only to be worthy of her. Five years later, he came back with shocking skills and glory and found that he had a daughter...
It was getting dark.
The freezing wind was blowing in the coldest place in Alaska.
A military green Jeep drove along the snowy road, kicking up showers of snow. The young man in the back seat rubbed his red eyes.
A mass of people in military uniforms watched the Jeep leave. They stretched as far as the eye could see.
They all gave the standard military salute, and tears welled up in their eyes. None of them looked away until the Jeep drove out of sight.
"Farewell, King of War!"
"Farewell, King of War!"
...
All of a sudden, all the soldiers shouted in unison, again and again. Their ear-splitting shouts echoed.
The burly man driving the car was named Aryan Kenton. With his tearful eyes, Aryan glanced at the young man in the mirror and said, "Lord Garner, are you sure you want to leave?"
The young man was Milton Garner. He had made great contributions in just five years in the military.
At the age of twenty-seven, he had become the youngest Guardian in history, guarding Alaska.
After becoming a Guardian, he won countless battles and became the invincible King of War!
"Alaska has been built into an invincible city. Who else dares to throw his weight around here?"
With that, Milton took out a photo. It was a photo of him and his wife, for making their marriage certificate.
The woman in the photo had very fine features and appeared to be in her early twenties. Her long hair was simply tied behind her head. With a prominent nose, almond-shaped eyes, and small plump lips, she was much prettier than many actresses.
She looked unhappy in the photo.
"Natalie, how are you?"
Milton stared at the beautiful woman in the photo and muttered.
Looking at the only photo of them together, he smiled and recalled the old days.
Five years ago, Natalie Royston single-handedly founded the Sander Group, just as she became a senior student. This made her New York's most beautiful president.
At the most critical time of the development of the Sander Group, she was framed, drugged, and had sex with a security guard of the Sander Group.
And this "lucky" security guard was Milton.
"New York's most beautiful woman had a one night stand with a security guard!"
New York Newsletter pinned the news to the top on social media when Milton and Natalie were still in the hotel room. Many media outlets reposted it.
Now the whole city knew that Natalie had slept with a security guard of her company.
Most of the market value of the Sander Group evaporated overnight.
To minimize the impact, the Royston family found Milton and asked him to marry Natalie.
The news of their engagement spread like wildfire and became a sensation throughout New York. Then the Royston family became a laughing stock.
However, not long after their wedding, Milton left without telling anyone. He hoped that he would be worthy of Natalie when he came back.
For five years, his beautiful wife kept coming to his mind. She was the driving force behind his rise to glory.
However, whenever Milton thought of Natalie, Milton felt guilt.
...
Three days later, a Boeing 747 plane landed at New York International Airport.
"Finally, I'm back!"
Milton stepped down the ladder into the land of New York. He beamed with delight. He had not smiled for a long time.
"Mom, where are you?"
Just as Milton walked out of the airport, he heard a little girl crying. For some reason, his heart skipped a beat.
"Lord Garner..."
Milton interrupted him and said, "From the moment I left Alaska, I was no longer a Guardian. Don't call me Lord Garner again!"
The serious look on Milton's face made Aryan tremble. He tentatively called out, "Mr. Garner?"
Milton didn't interrupt him again, so he smiled and continued, "Mr. Garner, that little girl looks quite like you. Are you relatives?"
Milton looked over. Then he couldn't help but stare fixedly at the little girl. She looked so familiar to him.
It even broke his heart to see the little girl crying.
There seemed to be some connection between her and Milton. The little girl suddenly stopped crying and looked at Milton with teary eyes.
Their eyes met, and Milton saw the little girl's face. Milton felt that he knew the girl and was close to her.
She had a small face with delicate features and a rosy complexion, and her skin was smooth. She blinked her large watery eyes, her eyelashes wet with tears.
Although the little girl was just about four years old, Milton could tell she would grow into a beauty. By then, many men would fall for her.
"Dad!"
The little girl suddenly shouted.
Milton was in a daze. The little girl ran over with a bright smile and hugged his leg.
His mind went blank.
Milton stood there, expressionless.
Aryan was stunned and mumbled, "Is this girl your daughter?"
After a while, Milton came back to his senses. He squatted down and looked at the little girl who was staring at him. He said gently, "Little girl, you got the wrong person. I am not your father!"
The little girl's face darkened.
She burst into tears again and sobbed, "Daddy's leaving me behind! Daddy won't take me home!"
The pedestrians gave Milton a sharp look and pointed at him.
The little girl's cry again broke Milton's heart, and he was at a loss.
He was the Guardian of Alaska, and countless people were terrified by him. But now, in front of a four-year-old child, he was at a loss. If news of this got out, many people's jaws would drop.
"Girl, I am not your father!"
She cried out, "Daddy is leaving me..."
Every time Milton repeated the sentence, the little girl would cry even harder.
Five minutes later.
Covered in sweat, Milton finally gave in and gently picked up the little girl.
The little girl stared at Milton, teary-eyed. She was grabbing onto Milton's clothes all the way, afraid that he would leave her behind.
"Mr. Garner, since this little girl likes you so much, why don't you just be her father?" Aryan said with a smile.
Milton shot him a dirty look, and he immediately shut his mouth.
Helpless, Milton carried the little girl to the airport security office.
The little girl cried again, but Milton hardened his heart and left with Aryan.
Soon, a long-haired woman in a black, close-fitting office outfit hurried into the office.
"Jennifer!"
When she saw the crying little girl, she burst into tears and rushed over and hugged the little girl tightly. She refused to let go of Jennifer, afraid that Jennifer would go missing again.
Jennifer was everything to her.
Five years ago, shortly after she got married, she got pregnant. However, her husband suddenly disappeared. Her mother had told her that Milton had borrowed 80 thousand dollars from her father and left.
At that time, she tried to kill herself several times, but every time she thought of her baby, she told herself to be strong. In the end, she gave up the idea.
For the past five years, she had suffered too much humiliation. Even the company she had single-handedly established had been taken away by her family during her pregnancy. She blamed Milton for all this.
She hated Milton for leaving her behind.
"Mom, I saw Daddy!" Jennifer said.
Jennifer blinked her big eyes. Then, she curled her lips and was about to cry again. "But Daddy left me behind!"
Jennifer's words shocked her so much that she trembled and stared blankly at Jennifer.
