“What are you doing?” Dereck was both shocked and enraged.

Natasha sneered, cracked her whip, and said, “Can’t you tell? I’m whipping you.”

“I’m his father!” Dereck had never in his life seen a daughter–in–law dare to whip an elder.

“To be considered an elder, you need to have done the raising and nurturing, to be worthy of respect. Who are you? How dare you put on a fatherly air in front of Alexei? Do you think he’s still a who has no one to protect him?”

“Alexei! Control her!” Dereck had never heard such hurtful words. He trembled with rage as he urgently and awkwardly called out Alexei’s name.

Natasha said, “Calling him is useless. You and I have no blood relation, and whipping you is what you deserve.”

Alexei’s coldness had long dispersed. He smiled, spreading his hands helplessly. “You heard it. I’m not the one who calls the shots in my family.”

Dereck was livid.

He realized that trying to talk sense into them today was his biggest mistake.

Who knew Natasha would play by her own rules?

She was incredibly arrogant!

He awkwardly rolled and dodged Natasha, feeling as helpless as he did during Edgar’s birthday party when Teri wildly slapped him with a thorny branch in the dark.

“Stop, stop! If you don’t want to save Chloe, then don’t. I’ll just leave!” Dereck was truly afraid of her.

Dereck was frustrated. ‘Why did he end up with Natasha?‘

Natasha grew even angrier upon hearing this, her eyes red with rage. “Anyone in this world can plead for Chloe, but you cannot!”

She felt a deep sense of injustice for Alexei. “Where were you when Alexei and his mother were being bullied and humiliated by everyone at the Turner Mansion? You couldn’t even protect your wife and child. Now you’re playing the hero, pleading for the niece of someone who bullied them. Dereck, how audacious of you! Can you even sleep well at night?”

Recalling the unbearable photos from that time, she furiously lashed out again, “How could you treat him like this?”

He had never been kind to Alexei, yet he expected a few regrets would make Alexei acknowledge him as a father.

Why should he?!

Dereck froze when she mentioned Unity.

His eyes showed confusion, as if all his strength had drained away, forlornly gave up resistance.

Instead, Alexei was the first to stop the enraged Natasha.

and he

It wasn’t for Dereck; rather, it wasn’t worth letting outsiders upset her.

He hugged her and kissed her reddened eyes. “Baby, do not be angry. He can’t bully me now. I’ll make him leave, alright?”

“Good girl, don’t cry.” He stroked her back, soothing her emotions.

Natasha was also enraged by Dereck’s shamelessness. It was clearly Alexei who was wronged. She hugged him tightly, mumbling, “Don’t let him come to our house.”

“Alright, as you wish, dear.” He tenderly touched her forehead with his lips.

When he looked at Dereck again, his gaze was like ice.

The servant from the Turner Mansion who had pushed Dereck in appeared with several black–clad bodyguards.

The servant’s eyes widened in shock, witnessing the jarring scene: the disabled Dereck fallen on the ground, unattended, while his own son, Alexei, was gently comforting his wife.

Meanwhile, the bodyguards calmly strode forward, violently grabbing Dereck and his wheelchair and throwing them out of the villa.

‘Why am I so unlucky today? I was chosen to come along. The servant wished he was blind.

He fumbled to help Dereck into the car, then cautiously asked, “Dereck, should we go to the hospital?”

Dereck, however, asked an irrelevant question, “Have you seen what Alexei looked like when he was a child?”

Stumped by the question, the servant scratched their head and replied, “Uh, I came late.”

He started working for the Turner family long after Alexei had already grown up. He only knew they had a bad relationship, but didn’t know what had happened or what Alexei’s past was like.

Dereck closed his eyes and turned his head away. “No,” he said, “let’s go home.”

Unnoticed by anyone, two streams of tears rolled down his ageless yet deeply

weathered face.

In the villa, playing with the top was out of the question. Alexei carried Natasha in his arms to the sofa, had her sit sideways on his lap, and softly kissed her face.

Natasha had gotten over that phase and stopped crying long ago, now tickled and laughing by his teasing,

She giggled, pulling away from him, “Alexei, don’t be like Daron!”

Was he washing her face?

Seeing her happy, Alexei also smiled, “Daron is imitating me. Did you secretly kiss it again? Didn’t you say you’d only kiss me from now on, baby?”

He bit a spot on her collarbone, gently teasing it with his teeth, then lightly licked

Natasha felt weak all over, and her voice was soft. “I didn’t kiss Daron. I just hugged Daron.”

She cupped his face, leaned in, and pecked his lips twice like a puppy. “I love you

the most.”

Alexei’s heart felt completely full, as if filled with warm water. “I know.”

His voice was low and husky, with a smile.

In this world, he was no longer alone; someone loved him wholeheartedly, felt his pain, cherished his every desire, and grew thorns for him, brave and fervent.

He buried his head in her neck, inhaling her scent. “Baby, thank you for loving

me.”

Sometimes he would fear that if this was just a beautiful dream, and he woke up to find there was no Natasha in the world, how would he continue to live?

As if sensing his fear, she gently clutched his hair, making him lift his head from her neck, and kissed him deeply. “I won’t leave you. Alexei, we have a home now.”

Alexei paused, then tightly gripped her waist and held the back of her head. He deepened the kiss, a forceful embrace, as if to fuse her into his very being.
