Chapter 449 Before leaving (Part 2)(1/2)
That's where.
Rhodes walked out of the car and looked at the modern apartment building in front of him. There are not a few such apartment buildings in the city, but the one in front of him has a unique significance to him.
"Are you sure? Canary?"
As Rhode said, he turned his head and looked at the girl standing beside him with a complicated expression. At this moment, Canary looked solemn, and she bit her lower lips tightly, looking pale. Her eyes were staring around indefinitely. Although she had made a decision, when she really came here, Canary found that the pressure in her heart not only did not decrease, but was getting bigger and bigger. She even felt that she was carrying a heavy big stone on her back now.
The woman reached out and pressed her chest, but her heart was beating faster and faster. She once thought she would not return to this place that she saw as the source of the nightmare, but now, when she really stood here again, Canary still felt unprecedented fear and anxiety. For a moment, she even wanted to turn around and leave like this, just pretending that she had never been here at all, leaving all this behind. Then she left the world forever and never came back.
but……………
"If you don't want to see them, I can go by myself."
Looking at the girl beside him, Rhode reached out and gently stroked the girl's hair. He was not a canary, so he naturally could not understand how painful the canary was at this moment, but he could feel the hesitation and anxiety of the girl around him. It was obvious that for Canary, coming here again was a very painful torture. If she didn't want to, Rhode would not force her. After all, this time it was Rhode's own responsibility, and he is now here to take on his own responsibility. But Canary...
"No. Rhodes."
Hearing Rhode's words, Canary gritted her teeth and was silent for a moment, and finally she raised her head.
"I'm going too, I've decided that no matter what, this is what I have to go through... This is what I must go through."
"I see."
Hearing Canary's answer, Rhode did not say much, but nodded, and then walked towards the apartment building in front of him. Canary stared at Rhode's back, and then she quietly followed the man in front of her and walked into the home she thought she would never come back in her life.
From the outside, it seems that there is no difference from an ordinary apartment. The clean and sanitary corridors and the clear and transparent windows are rubbed, and the sun shines in, reflecting the bright and smooth floor in front of you. Rhodes walked slowly ahead, and Canary followed behind him, and neither of them spoke. Because at this time, even Rhodes himself did not know what to say. After all, the root of all this misfortune was just an accident. Canary did not expect that he would become pregnant, and Rhodes did not expect that he would travel to another world. If the Canary had not been pregnant at that time, or Rhodes had not traveled through time, then things might have developed in another direction, but unfortunately, those were just if. But now they could not be changed.
It's here.
Rhode stood in front of the door, looking at the thick door in front of him, and then reached out his hand. Seeing his movements, Canary opened her mouth, as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she still said nothing. At the same time, Rhode had reached out and knocked on the door gently.
"Dongdongdongdongdong."
"Who is it?"
Soon, the door opened, and a middle-aged woman wearing glasses walked out of it. When she saw Rhode, she couldn't help but frown and showed a puzzled expression. But soon, when she saw the canary, the expression on the middle-aged woman's face suddenly sank. The elegant aura just now disappeared, and replaced by gloomy and distorted hideousness.
"You still have the face to come back? Why are you coming back? Get out of here, we don't have a bastard daughter like you! You bitch... Why didn't you die with the little evil seed in your belly at the beginning...!!"
"Hello, madam."
Just as the middle-aged woman was about to point at the canary and roar loudly, Rhode took a step forward at the right time to cut off the sight between the two. He first bowed gracefully, and then looked at the woman in front of him. Seeing Rhode's appearance, the middle-aged woman's face became even more shocked and suspicious. She looked up and down at the man in a luxurious suit in front of her, who was as beautiful as a woman. Finally, the woman snorted coldly.
"Who are you? What's the matter with us?"
"I'll introduce myself first. My name is Rod, and it's the lady's boyfriend, too..." As he said this, Rod looked at the canary, and then the corner of his mouth raised slightly, and a beautiful smile appeared. "………… The person who will be entrusted to life. Because from now on, she will be with me, so I want to come here to say hello to my two uncles and aunts. No matter what, she is also your daughter."
"You don't need to bother with this, sir."
Although the middle-aged woman spoke politely, her tone was full of coldness and disgust. She didn't even look at the canary, so she withdrew her gaze and walked into the room.
"We don't have such a shameless daughter, and we don't plan to have any relationship with her. I don't know who you are, but you can do whatever you want. As long as you don't bother me, don't let me see the face that makes me feel disgusted!"
As he spoke, the middle-aged woman reached out to try to close the door. But at this moment, Rhode suddenly stepped forward, and his right foot stretched out and placed it by the door, blocking the middle-aged woman's next move. This made the middle-aged woman extremely angry. She raised her head and glared at Rhode in front of her.
"What else do you have? Go quickly, if you don't leave, I will call the police!"
"Please don't be so anxious, aunt, I haven't finished speaking. I just introduced myself just now, and the next thing is the main topic." As he said, Rhode showed a bright smile, and then bowed slightly to the middle-aged woman in front of him. Seeing Rhode's expression, the Canary was hiding behind him, and the corners of his mouth kept rising. Of course, she knew that there would be no good things when he smiled. Now seeing Rhode's smile so elegantly and brilliantly, you can tell the depths of his heart. Now he must be turning some thoughts that cannot be known. Looking at the angry face of the middle-aged woman in front of him, Rhode's expression did not change at all, but continued with a smile: "In fact, I'm going to tell you that the child your daughter was mine..."
"What!!??"
Hearing this, the middle-aged woman who had barely remained calm just now jumped up like an angry lion. She pulled Rhode's collar and widened her eyes angrily. The face that looked a little young because of its good maintenance had become extremely twisted and ferocious.
"It's you!! It's you?!! It turns out that you are all the ones who are harmed by you!! Look at what good things you do!! You ruined our hard work!! You are such a terrifying bastard!!"
The woman's voice was so loud that several other residents in the corridor opened the doors and poked their heads out in surprise and looked at them. When they saw the scene in front of them, they couldn't help but widen their eyes in surprise. You must know that this family still enjoys a very high reputation in this community. They have received higher education and are always very kind and gentle to others. But now, they were surprised to see that the woman who always had a gentle smile on her face was ashen and grim at the collar of a young man, and her crazy look was as if she was about to strangle him to death!
"What's going on! Who is here? It's causing you to make a big fuss outside!"
At the same time, accompanied by a stern voice, a burly and strong man walked out of the house with great strides. He was also stunned when he saw his wife's crazy appearance. Then his eyes turned and immediately saw the canary standing next to him. Then, the man's expression changed slightly.
"You shameless thing. Do you dare to come back?! You little bastard!! Why don't you die!!"
"Dad...Dad..."
Feeling the man's gaze, the canary couldn't help but tremble. Although she was no longer the girl who had no power in the past. She was a mage with powerful power. With just one thought, she could control the storm and control the flames to destroy everything that blocked her. But her father's serious and familiar gaze still scared her. At this moment, the canary seemed to have returned to her childhood, and she put her hands on her chest and stared at her father tremblingly. At this moment, the woman gritted her teeth and grabbed Rhode's collar.
"It's him!! It's this man!! Husband, he said that the child belongs to him!!"
"What?"
Hearing this, the man's face suddenly turned extremely blue. He turned his eyes to stare at his daughter and stared at Rhode coldly. Facing the man's gaze, Rhode's expression still seemed very relaxed. He stretched out his left hand and just pressed it gently. The woman felt that his hands were pinched by the iron pliers. She couldn't help but let out a painful cry, and then she involuntarily let go of her hands. It was not until this time that Rhode reached out to tidy up his collar, and then nodded to the two with a smile.
"Hello, uncle, I have already told my aunt before. This time I came here, I want to inform you that from now on, your daughter will live with me. That's it..." However, before Rhode finished speaking, he was interrupted by the man with a pissed face.
"You...who are you? You dare to talk to me like this, and you actually did such shameless things!! You...get out of here, or I'll call the police!" While roaring, the man raised the cane in his hand and hit Rhodes. But at this moment, a cold light suddenly flashed in front of his eyes, and then the heavy cane in his hand suddenly turned into several segments with a "bang". This made the man stunned. He took two steps back and stared at Rhodes in surprise. With his IQ and eyesight, of course he couldn't tell what Rhodes had done just now.
However, Rhode obviously did not mean to explain to them. Instead, he smiled and saluted the two of them solemnly.
"Of course, I can understand your feelings. She is your daughter after all, and it is indeed not appropriate for me to do this, but………………”
Speaking of this, Rhode took out a suitcase next to him and then opened it with his backhand. When he saw the things in the suitcase, the couple who were yelling angrily seemed to be choked by someone, and opened their mouths wide, but they could not make any sound. The only thing they could do now was to watch the bundles of banknotes in the suitcase. Although the bundles of banknotes were not gold coins, they seemed to emit some dazzling and tempting glory. They bent down excitedly, tremblingly reached out, and looked at the bundles of banknotes in front of them.
"This, this is……………”
"This is some small compensation for the two. No matter what you did to her before, they are her parents after all. Without you, I wouldn't have known your daughter. This is my little intention to compensate for the two's previous losses."
At this moment, Rhodes was still smiling extremely brightly, sincerely and politely, completely representing a good young man in the new century.
At this moment, the eyes of the two of them looking at Rhodes finally changed. After confirming that the money was genuine, they hurriedly closed their suitcases and stood up. Then, the hideous face just now appeared with a warm and thoughtful smile as if the guest came from afar.
"Oh...Where does this start...Mr. Rod...We......"
The woman first smiled, but didn't know what to say. She could only look at her husband with a slightly embarrassed expression, and noticed her wife's gaze. The man first closed the box in front of her quietly, then showed a little smile and nodded at Rhodes.
"Well.......................... I think we have accepted your sincerity. This..... There was only a small misunderstanding between us and our daughter before. So, why don't you come in first and let's talk carefully? To be honest, money is not the most important thing for us. We just hope to find a qualified candidate for our daughter who is worth entrusting for life. This........ Mr. Rod, I don't know where you are? To be honest, our daughter is also a very outstanding child. This kind of thing is to be of equality, right?"
"Yeah yeah."
When the woman next to her also nodded and bowed quickly, then looked at the canary standing next to her with kind eyes, as if she was looking at her carefully crafted artwork. When she noticed her mother's gaze, the canary said nothing, but just lowered her head. At the same time, a bitter smile appeared deep in her heart. Her parents still had not changed at all. They did not regard themselves as a person, but as a commodity. All they had to do was to grow up according to their expectations, and then live the right life according to their ideas. The ultimate goal was to sell themselves at a good price like now. In this way, in their eyes, this would be considered as a big face.
This is exactly what Canary cannot accept the most. Her sustenance and everything about her was completely denied and destroyed just because of this reason.
"No, thank you for your hospitality, but there is no need for this."
At this time, facing the two of them's retention, Rhode smiled and took a step back.
"As I said before, from today on, your daughter will be with me, and the relationship between us and the two will end here. From today on, we will never have any relationship with each other."
"this……………"
Hearing this, the expressions of the two changed slightly. They looked at Rhodes hesitantly, and then looked at the canary who had been silent next to them. Then, the woman hurried forward and looked at her anxiously.
"My good daughter, do you really think so? You are not so heartless, I admit that my parents did it wrong at the beginning. But we are also thinking about your future. You……………”
"I'm sorry, mom."
However, facing her mother's words, Canary took a step back this time. After seeing her parents' appearance with her own eyes, Canary was surprised to find that the original fear, anxiety, and attachment to family affection in her heart were completely wiped out at this moment. She even felt so calm that she was as calm as if the two people in front of her had no blood relationship with her.
"Hey you…………!!"
Seeing the canary's appearance, the woman raised her eyebrows and wanted to yell. At this time, the man beside her pulled her hard and signaled her to be careful not to annoy the "customers". When she noticed her husband's sign, the woman could only shut her mouth in anger. At this moment, the man coughed gently and then spoke to Rhode.
"I understand, Mr. Rhode. I admit that we did a little too much at the beginning, but I hope you can understand the mood of being a parent. After all, we had difficulties at that time......"
"I understand, but please stop talking."
Rhode interrupted the man with a smile, then turned his head and looked at the canary beside him.
"Take that out."
“……Okay, Rhodes.”
If it were the past, then Canary would have been very hesitant in the face of Rhode's words. But now, she only felt very calm, and she didn't even hesitate at all. She handed the suitcase in her hand to Rhode. Rhode took the suitcase and then put it in front of the two of them to open it. Seeing the scene in front of them, the two of them opened their eyes even widened. Therefore, at this moment, the diamond lying quietly in the suitcase was a fist-sized diamond!!
Just such a diamond is priceless!!
"This diamond is treated as a gift I gave to both of you, so please keep it."
After saying this sentence simply and neatly, Rhode put down the box in his hand, then nodded to the two of them with a smile. At this moment, the eyes of the two of them were completely confused by the diamond. They just held the box and opened their eyes wide to look at the diamond inside. As if they were completely obsessed with this beautiful light. Seeing this scene, a cold light flashed in Rhode's eyes, then he turned his head and reached out to pat the canary on the shoulder.
"Okay, the matter is done, let's go."
“………………Okay, Rhodes.”
Speaking of this, Canary raised her head again and looked at the two people in front of her who were her parents. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said softly.
"Goodbye... dad, mom."
But no one responded, they didn't even hear Canary's words, and when Canary followed Rhode into the elevator, the only thing she turned around was the back of them happily entering the room with their suitcases.
At this moment, the Canary closed her eyes.
But at this moment, in the room, there was another scene.
"Look, so much money...Dear."
The woman held a diamond in one hand and stared at the money in the suitcase with her eyes glowing. Aside her, the man was counting the money in the suitcase with a satisfied smile.
"I really didn't expect that our daughter would find such a rich man... Alas... I would have known that she wouldn't have let her abort the child. In this way, we could earn more child support, how great......"
But when the woman heard this, she snorted coldly.
"What are you saying? You insisted on aborting your child, but it ended up being this way. Didn't I say that at the beginning, at worst, you can sell it after your daughter gives birth to the child, and then lie to her and say it would be great if someone stole it. It's just that you are so stupid, and you insist that if you give birth to a child, you're such a fool!"
To be continued...
