The Long Road to Love: The Capable CEO Dad-Chapter 552: The Joys of Youth

His voice was calm and unhurried, yet it sent shivers down everyone’s spine.

Marcus’s life was painstakingly saved from the brink of death, and now that his emotions have just stabilized, if those people were to cause trouble, who knows what would happen. Thinking of this, Hugo Quinn wished he could deal with them immediately.

"Hugo Quinn."

Eleanor Hollis reached over to stop him, looking a bit troubled, then quietly moved closer to whisper in his ear.

"Look up, Marcus seems to be standing by the window. Let’s not let him see such a bloody scene, we should leave it to the police."

Hugo stiffened all over, quietly raised his head, and sure enough, saw a small figure standing on the second floor of the villa, draped in a coat, quietly observing from there.

Hugo immediately put his gun away, not wanting his son to see him like this.

The few people breathed a sigh of relief; at least their lives were spared. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

"Lan Yancy, hand them over to the police."

Since Marcus was watching, Hugo didn’t want to linger any longer and strode inside.

It was only attempted kidnapping, they wouldn’t be sentenced for many years.

Eleanor followed behind Hugo, but just then, Yvette Jacobs spoke up.

"Eleanor Hollis, you are truly blessed. Sometimes I really envy you. If only I had a man like him."

Yvette spoke the truth, at this moment she relaxed a bit, once inside the prison, those people wouldn’t be able to do anything to her. As for Gabriel Jacobs and Mae Summers, she really didn’t care about their fates anymore. Over the years, she had done enough for the Jacobs Family.

Eleanor stopped in her tracks and turned to look at this woman.

"If you hadn’t left Julian Sterling back then, you would be happier than me now. Yvette, do you know how many years Julian waited patiently for you? You envy me now, but back then, the opportunity was right in front of you, and you didn’t cherish it."

Yvette said nothing. If there was anything she regretted in this lifetime, it was probably Julian Sterling.

The joy of youth couldn’t withstand the worldly desires within her heart.

She wanted to climb higher, to become someone above others, to have a perfect husband.

At that time, Julian was still young and had no reputation. He was just an ordinary, though handsome, man.

Perhaps young girls would like such a man in their youth, but once they understood, they would know that apart from a good-looking appearance, such a man could give you nothing else.

So, at that time, she decisively abandoned the love of her youth.

She didn’t expect that after many years, he would grow to such an extent. She thought he would wait for her, but her capriciousness stopped her from returning until the Jacobs Family went bankrupt. Upon learning that Julian had reached the pinnacle of the entertainment industry, she finally came back.

Julian, as expected, was the same as before, hadn’t changed his heart. The gaze with which he looked at her was still filled with tenderness. She indulgently enjoyed the care and was stingy in reciprocating.

But then Gloria Galloway appeared, persistent, passionate, and innocent.

She was the kind of girl Yvette despised the most, with a natural sparkle.

She began to feel a sense of crisis, started looking for opportunities to oppose her. In hindsight, if so many things hadn’t happened then, maybe Julian wouldn’t have liked Gloria. It was she who pushed him away step by step, who could be blamed now?

Yvette was already supported to stand up, and a few police officers took them to the car.

Eleanor stood there for a moment, hearing the police sirens moving farther away, sighed with relief; Yvette’s matter had come to an end.

Back at the villa, she saw Marcus talking to Hugo, his eyes shining brightly. As she got closer, she overheard the conversation between the two men.

"Dad, was that a real gun you were holding just now? What does our family actually do? Is everything on TV true?"

Boys usually like swords and guns; he had never seen such a scene before. Seeing his dad, he felt it was very cool. At least from behind his dad, he felt a surge of excitement watching.

"Mommy, why don’t you ever include me in the fun stuff?"

Eleanor tapped his nose lightly, this child still thought it was fun. If those people had succeeded today, he would have been the one crying now.

"Do you know how scared we almost were? You are our precious little one. If anything happened to you, your dad and I would have gone all out against them."

Marcus raised his head, seeing the concern in Eleanor’s eyes, his own eyes softened instantly.

"I understand, Mommy, I will grow up soon."

Eleanor nodded, sat down on the sofa, then suddenly seemed to remember something, and spoke slowly.

"By the way, Marcus, I’ve found you a future wife. You will have to marry that girl in the future, she is your Auntie Sullivan’s little princess."

Marcus’s eyes widened instantly. If he remembered correctly, Auntie Sullivan’s little princess couldn’t even talk yet, and she wasn’t even a year old, but he was almost six years old.

"I don’t want her! I don’t want that little kid, she can’t even talk. I think Chloe is pretty good. If I have to find a wife, it should be someone like Chloe."

Marcus raised his head, speaking with justified confidence.

Eleanor found it amusing, pinched his ear.

"You can’t marry Chloe, you two are cousins and have the same last name."

Marcus slumped his shoulders, he was just making a point. Even if he had to choose a wife, she should be as big as Chloe, at least able to talk to him, but Auntie Sullivan’s child was really too little, still needing someone to change her diaper.

"Mommy, I don’t want Auntie Sullivan’s child. Could you please find someone else for me?"

But no matter what he said, Eleanor wouldn’t listen, and in the hopes of fostering the relationship between the two kids early on, she called Samantha Sullivan over with her child the very next day.

"Marcus, take good care while changing the diaper. Think about it, when you both grow up, you can proudly tell your wife that you changed her diapers before."

Marcus, feeling disdainful, removed the old diaper. Seeing the child smiling at him, he snorted coldly and laid the new diaper down.

"Hee hee hee hee."

The little child waved her hands continuously, her eyes sparkling brightly. She pinched Marcus’s face softly, like a feather brushing against it.

Marcus found the feeling quite nice, and what Mommy said was true. In the future, being able to tell his wife that he helped change her diapers when they were kids should indeed be something to take pride in. Just when will this little girl finally start talking?

Samantha and Eleanor sat nearby drinking tea, watching Marcus take care of the child, both appearing very pleased.

This child engagement was evidently quite a success. Marcus already began to like this child, and feelings should be nurtured from a young age.

"I’m very pleased with this son-in-law, Eleanor, let’s have some tea."
