Chapter 346
"We beg for your forgiveness, Ms. Nicholson!"The rest of the Langfords followed suit and kneeled down on the floor. At the sight of that, Dahlia was stunned, and so was Dakota. Even Florence, who had been whining until a moment ago, stood there in a trance. They thought the Langfords were here to seek revenge. However, it had never occurred to the Nicholsons that the Langfords would behave so humbly all of a sudden. "Ms. Nicholson, I'm sorry. I thought too highly of myself. Please forgive me!" When Luis saw that Dahlia wasn't making any responses, he began to slap his face like he was crazy, even though his cheeks were already red and swollen. Despite the pain, he dared not stop. Half an hour ago, after finding out Dustin's true identity at the banquet hall, Luis was frightened out of his wits. He thought he was doomed. Ethan even wanted to kick him out of the Langford family and cut ties with him. However, to everyone's surprise, Dustin was willing to let Luis off the ho

Dahlia shook her head fervently with a bewildered expression. "Mr. Langford, we'd be more than thankful if you didn't find any faults with us. We would never dare blame you for anything!""Exactly! Please get up, Mr. Langford. Look at you! You're bleeding so much! I'll go get you a Band-Aid!" Florence quickly went into the bedroom to get the first-aid kit."A Band-Aid?" Luis could not believe his ears. He'd severed two of his fingers, for goodness sake! What use did he have for Band-Aids?"Why don't you go to the hospital, Mr. Langford? Your bleeding doesn't seem to be stopping," Dahlia suggested cautiously."Have you forgiven me, Ms. Nicholson?" Luis asked expectantly."I guess so. As long as you don't come and bother me anymore, you're forgiven." Dahlia nodded."No problem at all! I'll make myself scarce now and never bother you again!" Luis was elated. He nodded at both Dustin and Dahlia as a sign of apology before he made a run for it with his men in tow."Hey, Mr. Langford! Your B

"Wha—" Dustin's smile immediately dropped from his face the moment he saw who it was that came in through the door. His smile was replaced by hostility. "Who let you in? Get out!""Don't be mistaken, I'm just here to see my daughter-in-law. This has nothing to do with you." Rufus chuckled merrily as he hobbled in through the door."Do you—do you know each other?" Dahlia looked from one to the other, perplexed."You're Dahlia, aren't you? As expected, what a beauty!" Rufus beamed brightly. "Oh, right, I haven't introduced myself. I'm Dustin's father, your father-in-law.""Dustin's father?" Dahlia was taken aback by the piece of information. Though there wasn't exactly anything special about Dustin, he had exceptionally good looks. He was a fine specimen of a man if anything. However, this old man before her was the farthest thing from handsome. The two were vastly different in the looks department."What? We don't look alike?" Rufus chuckled nonchalantly. "This lad looks like his mom, s

"Lunch is ready!" Florence had quickly whipped up a lavish meal, and every dish looked sumptuous.Dustin had been prepared to make an excuse and slip away but was stopped by Dahlia. In the end, he had no choice but to stay for the meal with Rufus. It was the first time the father and son pair had had a meal together at the same table. As they ate, Rufus' eyes gradually welled up with tears. It felt like it'd been a lifetime for him, but the day finally came when he could sit down and have a meal with his son. He had yet to receive his son's forgiveness, but what he had now was good enough. He was already very satisfied. Of course, many people out there would never believe that the ruthless and formidable Prince of Theswe would get teary-eyed over a meal.Once he had his fill, Rufus tactfully took his leave. He knew that if he stayed on any longer, his son would most likely lose his temper.Rufus left the Nicholson Villa with a spring in his step."How did things go, Sir?" When he got

Dahlia was genuinely curious about Dustin's past. After getting to know him better these days, she found that he was indeed a mystery."It's a long story." Dustin shook his head."Alright, I'll be here whenever you feel like talking about it." Dahlia gave him a warm smile."Sure." Dustin nodded."It's getting colder these days. Let's go to the mall to get some new clothes for winter," Dahlia suggested."Sure, we can get some new clothes, but I'll have you know, I'm broke!" Dustin shrugged."Ugh! What a miser!" Dahlia rolled her eyes. "I'll pay for everything today. Will that do?""Why, thank you, Ms. Nicholson!" Without another word, Dustin hurried off to bring the car over. It's been three years since they got married, but they rarely went out shopping together.The moment they left, Florence immediately took out the sapphire and had a good look at it. "Oh, my precious honeybunch of a sapphire! What luck I'm in today!" The more she studied it, the more she loved it."Aunt Florence, w

That evening at Peaceful Medical Center, Natasha waltzed in through the doors happily with two bottles of wine in her hand. "Honey, I'm back! Look what I brought! These are aged wines, I'm sure you'll love them!" All of a sudden, the smile on her face froze as she noticed that not only was Dustin not inside, but there were also two strangers in there instead. Gregory, who was usually in a drunken stupor, now sat upright with a stern expression on his face. How peculiar."Mr. Jones, who are they?" Natasha's curiosity was piqued."You're back, lass? Here, let me introduce them. This one here is Dustin's father, and this one is an old pal of mine." Gregory gestured to Rufus and Albert, respectively, as he introduced them to Natasha."Dustin's father?" Natasha's eyes lit up. "Oh, so my father-in-law is here! I'm sorry I didn't recognize you!" As she spoke, she immediately got up and poured them each a cup of tea. Then, she smiled sweetly and said to Rufus, "Please have some tea, Father!"

"Natasha, you haven't had dinner yet, have you? Come on, I'll treat you to dinner." Dustin did not answer her and changed the topic instead."Now that you mention it, I am feeling a bit hungry. Father, shall we go grab a bite?" Natasha turned around to ask Rufus."Don't worry about them. We'll go get dinner, just the two of us," Dustin insisted."Well …" Natasha paused. She could sense that something was off between the two."Natasha, go ahead and enjoy your meal together. We, old folks, won't tag along and ruin your fun. Run along now." Rufus smiled and nodded at her."Alright, Father. We'll be quick and buy some food back for you." Natasha did not try to pry further. After she made sure they were alright, she left with Dustin.All was quiet in the car before Natasha broke the silence. "Your father … Did you have a fallout with him?""A fallout?" Dustin laughed dryly. "If only it was that simple, things would be much easier.""So then what is it? Can you tell me?" Natasha coaxed softl

The old lady stood frozen in place as she watched the Eight Giants crash to the ground with dull thuds, one after another. All the calmness and confidence she had earlier on had completely vanished into thin air and were instead replaced by downright fear. Those were the Eight Giants! They were renowned bounty hunters who had yet to fail before this! Ever since they set foot in the field, they had been revered by all and had never missed a single target. No matter how great their opponents were, they had been able to wipe them out without breaking a sweat. She had thought that with the Eight Giants working alongside her, everything would have gone smoothly without any hiccups. Who would have guessed that they'd be defeated in a matter of seconds? They did not even have time to react! What freak of nature was this man standing before her?"Those are the Eight Giants that you've been harping on about? Pretty weak, aren't they?" Dustin shook his head. How dare mere mortals who had yet to
