Chapter 1088
Old Master Shaw was stunned when he heard the news.Then, he looked at Goldie in disgust. “When I was framed and hunted by my fellow soldiers, I wondered if you were the secret puppet master behind the event.”Goldie was struck silly by his words. “How is that possible? I’m just a sojourner, I have neither wealth nor power. How could I have orchestrated something like that?”His tone warmed slightly. “Are you here to ask me to pay for your abortion?”Tears filled Goldie’s eyes immediately. “N…no.”“Then what do you want?”Goldie kept quiet.“I have a wife and we love each other very much! We have been married for years, I’ve always been very disciplined, never sleeping around with other women. That’s why, I want you to abort the child. I will pay for everything, I can even pay you some compensation. Just name your price!”Goldie was sobbing so badly she could hardly speak. “I’m sick!”Old Master Shaw frowned. “You are sick!” Goldie nodded. “I have less than 20 years to live!

Goldie was rendered speechless by his words. After a long pause, she softened her tone further and pleaded, “Please, I beg you, help me, give me a title, and let me give birth to our child. Then, I’ll divorce you immediately so you can reunite with your wife!”“You’re crazy!” Old Master Shaw did not care for any of her words. He flung her aside and strode away.Coincidentally, three days later, his mission was over and it was time for him to return home. Before leaving, he did not even bother to pay Goldie a visit because he did not see the need to.It was impossible for him to be responsible for two women. The person he loved was his wife at home, her and her alone. Even if he went home and admitted his mistakes to his wife, she would forgive him considering the circumstances. From his youth until he became an old man, he always took responsibility for his actions! When he returned home, first he fooled around with his wife, checked in with his mischievous son, and then he told
Chapter 1090
After a pause, Goldie said to Old Master Shaw and his wife, “Now that things have already come to this, I have nowhere to go. I beg you, please marry me. I don’t wish for you to love me, I don’t want anything, I just want to live.”She held herself like a lowly servant. A crowd gathered around them. Old Master Shaw was conflicted. Finally, succumbing to pressure, he divorced his wife, then signed a marriage certificate with Goldie. After Goldie obtained the Certificate of Permitted Birth, he immediately divorced her and remarried his first wife. Since then, Goldie lived in a house near the Shaw family mansion in South City. He had promised to pay for her living expenses every month. The amount was small but it was enough for her to live off of. She could earn a living for herself, teaching piano and drawing lessons. Maybe it was because of her desperate desire to live, or perhaps because she was pregnant and her bodily functions had improved, or perhaps because she no longer lived

“As for the child, I will pay for her living expenses every month! And as her mother, you have to take responsibility and raise her. Whatever the child turns out to be, whether good or bad, it has nothing to do with me at all!”With that, Old Master Shaw threw some money on the ground and left. Gloria was left all alone, sobbing silently. How she wished her daughter could meet her own father. She wished for it so desperately. However, she could not. Her father was within arms’ reach, but Gloria turned one year old and still had no idea who her father was. Sometimes, when Goldie brought one-year-old Gloria to the park to play, while the child was just starting to speak, when she heard other children calling out, ‘Daddy, daddy’, the little one-year-old girl would imitate them, babbling out a string of words with spittle rolling down her jaw, “Ah… Dad, ah…Dad…”Every time this happened, Gloria was thrown into despair. As this happened, Gloria stayed near the Shaw family mansion. Eve

That afternoon was the first time the three-and-a-half-year-old little girl got to know her father. Old Master Shaw left the house with his wife. He was wearing a suit, and his wife was dressed in a beautiful dress. The couple was dressed handsomely, looking sophisticated and elegant. Beside them was a boy, around seven or eight years old. The family of three made onlookers turn green with envy.“Look, Gloria. That’s your daddy,” Goldie said to her daughter.“Daddy’s so handsome,” the little girl said. “Yeah, your father is handsome and powerful. He’s a good man, just and upright. When you grow up, you have to be a filial daughter to your father because he gave you life, do you understand?” Goldie educated her daughter.Although her daughter came from a single-parent family, she never cultivated hatred in her daughter. Even if her father never visited her even once throughout her life, never acknowledged her as his daughter, Goldie wanted to plant in her daughter’s mind an ima

“Mommy, I want to play the piano for a while.”The three-and-a-half-year-old little girl neither knew how to read sheet music nor could she play the piano. However, usually to coax a smile out of her daughter, she would hold her and sit in front of the piano, teaching her fingering techniques. Every time she taught the child, she would tell her, “Music can cleanse one’s soul; it can also make that person happy.”Perhaps the child took her words to heart but, in her subconscious, as long as she could play the piano well, then her father would be happy. Once her father was happy, maybe he might grow to like little Gloria?That night, the three-and-a-half-year-old played the piano for two hours, looking like a solemn little pianist. Even though she was still so young, she caught on quickly.Within six months, the four-year-old Gloria could already play a full song. It was called ‘Little Bell’. She did not play it very well, but her performance had a childish sort of beauty. The fo
Chapter 1094
Old Master Shaw’s expression was filled with an indescribable look of murderous intent. He could see it. Somehow, the child’s features were very similar to his. She looked especially like him when he was a child. Luckily, no one present had seen him as a child. Otherwise, they would immediately recognize the truth: that this little girl was his daughter. The displeasure written across his face was obvious. The teacher could see it too. She tugged at Gloria harshly. If Old Master Shaw was not present, she wished she could whack the child for disobeying her and causing her trouble. At that moment, Old Master Shaw had already decided that, if the little thing dared to call him her father, he would immediately send her and her mother to somewhere far away and remote so they could never return to South City. However, even though the teacher let go of Gloria, Gloria did not address him as her father. She only looked at him, smiling sweetly, saying in her childish tone of voice, “I

Otherwise, he would send both of them to the most remote countryside area. How could she let that happen?Goldie was anxious. In a remote countryside town, not only would her daughter’s education suffer a drawback, her sickness could not be treated. She immediately promised Old Master Shaw that, starting tomorrow, she would enroll Gloria in a different kindergarten. Just like that, when little Gloria was hopeful that she could meet her father again in the near future, she was transferred to another school.A long time after that, she never saw her father. She saw that a lot of her classmates’ fathers would come to pick them up from time to time, walking around and riding on their fathers’ shoulders.But she never had the chance to do so. She was so envious of them. But that was the extent of her emotions. Even though she envied them, she did not complain.Because Mommy filled her up with love.Her Daddy was a good man, a responsible man. He was a very honorable general
