My Dreamy Old Husband novel Chapter 1370

Chapter 1370 Thank You

When Carmen burst into tears, so did Sophia. Michael hugged the both of them, tears gathering in his eyes. Just moments ago, he had been paralyzed by an unimaginable fear that he would never see Carmen alive again. He was still consumed by the fear even now. Turning toward Bailey, who was about to leave, he said, “Thank you.”

This fourteen-year-old—no, he was already a fifteen-year-old man—suddenly became more favorable in Michael’s eyes. If it were not for Bailey, rescuing Lorelei and Carmen would have required far more effort. I’m sure Carmen and Lorelei had a hard time with those crazy twins around.

Bailey didn’t even bother to turn around as he condescendingly answered, “I don’t talk to youngsters. Let the elders in your family come to me.”

If it wasn’t for the circumstances preventing Michael from hitting Bailey, he would have done so in a heartbeat.

Meanwhile, Lorelei threw herself into Joel’s arms. Although she wasn’t crying as hard as Carmen, he could tell that she had experienced a huge scare. Her entire body trembled as she fearfully told him, “Daddy, I killed somebody!”

She was afraid that she would be sent away because she killed somebody. She thought she would be sent back to that gloomy place where the sun could not reach—the place where she had to kill just to survive each day. I love the Fletcher Family. I don’t want to leave. I love my daddy and mommy; I love my brother. I don’t want to leave. She grasped the corner of Joel’s clothes tightly.

At the same time, Ryan was carried out of the Yard Residence. They probably wanted to send him for emergency treatment. Unfortunately, his body had gone cold a long time ago. His neck had been broken, and he died on the spot.

Jordan stepped forward and lifted the bed sheet covering Ryan’s body. Ryan’s eyes were gazing blankly into the sky. The savage and triumphant expression on his face had yet to disappear from when he was killed. Jordan’s hands shook and he lost grip of the bedsheet. My son! The son I devoted all my efforts into raising! Why is he nothing but a corpse now?! Who did this?! The look in his eyes looked like a volcano that was about to erupt. Sweeping his gaze across the venue, he saw that everybody else seemed to be happy about the news of Ryan’s death.

When Sophia saw the corpse, she hurriedly buried Carmen’s face in her chest. She did not want Carmen to see that terrifying scene. Fortunately, Carmen was still crying. She experienced the greatest scare of her life when Bailey was carrying her out of the Yard Residence. Even so, she desperately stopped herself from crying at the time. It had not been easy for her.

On the other hand, Joel glanced at Ryan’s corpse before glancing back at Lorelei, who looked extremely nervous. He seemed to understand the situation. Ruffling Lorelei’s messy hair, he said in a low voice, “Lola, he deserved to die. You protected your sister. You did a great job!”

Despite his reassurance, Lorelei had an expression of horror on her face as she was taken away by Maddie, who had rushed over to the scene.

Afterward, Joel confiscated all of the Yard Family’s guns. He turned to Jordan and said, “Mr. Edwards, I will honor my promise with you since the children have been returned. I have prepared the transportation for your sons to the airport. Please, come this way.”

After saying that, he drove a military truck over. Regardless of whether Jordan was willing or not, he stuffed all the Yard Family’s men into the truck. Even Ryan, who was dead, was carried into the truck without further ado.

Jordan smiled mechanically. “I don’t think the weather today is suitable for flying. Why not postpone it until tomorrow instead?”
