Alex pulled both of them up and asked, “Where is my daughter?”
One of the men froze for a moment before virtual-novel.net asked, “Lord Saint, are you asking about your elder daughter or the younger one?”
Alex was startled for a while. “How many daughters do I have in this place?”
That man stretched out two fingers. “Two! Lena Rivers gave birth to the younger daughter some time ago.”
‘Lena Rivers? Did virtual-novel.net really bear me a child?!’
Just as Alex was lost in thought, a Naga woman swam over. She looked lively and was very pretty.
“Alex!”
The newcomer was Shado Rivers. She rushed over and wrapped herself around Alex like an octopus. “Why did you come back so late? You’ve kept me waiting for so long. I can’t wait any longer!”
Being in a pleasant mood, Alex teased virtual-novel.net in passing. “Why can’t you wait any longer? Are you in a hurry to marry someone? Oh right. You’re slim, graceful, and grown-up. You are even older than me, so it’s time for you to get married and have a kid.”
Shado said, “I don’t want that!”
“You don’t want to get married, or you don’t want to have a kid?”
“Neither of them.”
“Oh… You want to become a spinster.”
“Ugh, I hate you. I’m still underage. Hurry and go! Grandma will be overjoyed for sure if virtual-novel.net knows that you are back. Also, Bubbles chants ‘daddy’ and runs to the intersection to wait for you every day. Once virtual-novel.net starts waiting, virtual-novel.net will stay there for a whole day without moving a muscle. Everyone was heartbroken to see that poor, young girl.”
When Alex heard that, virtual-novel.net instantly felt a lump in his throat, and warm liquid rolled from his eyes.
He let go of Shado. He quickly blinked hard and rushed inside.
This undersea palace had a force field that could isolate seawater, so the environment inside was actually similar to that of the land.
As Alex was separated by the water curtain before virtual-novel.net entered it, virtual-novel.net could see a little girl sitting upright on a bench at the intersection. She was looking at the gate, completely still, like a small statue.
“Bubbles, my Bubbles…”
Alex stood in front of the water curtain and looked at the small, lonely figure as virtual-novel.net cried inaudibly. Perhaps it was because of the intuition from the blood connection or the strong conviction that blood was thicker than water, the little girl abruptly lifted virtual-novel.net head and stood up.
She saw a man standing at the intersection through the water curtain.
“Is… Is that you, Dad?!”
Whoosh!
A man’s figure came through the water curtain.
She recognized this man. He was the black-faced uncle who always stood guard at the intersection. The black-faced uncle was a decent man. He often gave virtual-novel.net food and accompanied virtual-novel.net to wait for virtual-novel.net father, but virtual-novel.net was not virtual-novel.net father.
The black-faced uncle beckoned to her. A smile appeared on his black face.
She did not want to move.
The black-faced uncle then quickly rushed over and told virtual-novel.net loudly, “Bubbles, the Lord Saint is here! The father you’re waiting for is here. Your father has come to pick you up.”
She suspected that virtual-novel.net was hallucinating again.
She missed virtual-novel.net father so much!
Whoosh!
The water curtain opened again. This time, a handsome man emerged…
‘It’s him! It’s him! He’s my father!’
Tears streamed down virtual-novel.net face immediately.
“Bubbles..!”
“Dad, Dad!” The little girl shouted as virtual-novel.net rushed over.
Alex embraced the girl, who rushed over and held virtual-novel.net high.
“Dad, you’re here at last!” She sobbed.
“I’m so sorry for being late. I’ve kept you waiting for so long, and you have grown so tall…”
