Drowning In His Deep Love (Re-edited)

Chapter 39 An Interesting Kid

Chapter 39 An Interesting Kid

Jonathan had something to do so he came to the Southern Mountain Community.

William took Vincent outside.

Alexander and Jonathan went to the study. "Jonathan, among these newcomers, is there anyone that satisfies you?"

Jonathan shook his head and said, "Young people nowadays are getting worse. Their physical quality is too bad. What I can promise is that I will do my best."

"This is not you, Jonathan." Alexander lit a cigarette and added, "How long have you been training that kid?"

"Three months." Jonathan said with three fingers extended. When speaking of Vincent, his face was full of smiles, and he was very proud. "This kid is more talented than you used to be. He heard that you are very powerful, so he badgered to take him out to see you."

The kid could shoot at a 8 ring target in three months.

He was just only four or five years old.

Alexander was a little shocked. "What is this kid best at?"

Jonathan shook his head.

Alexander frowned. He didn't have anything that he was good at?

Before Alexander could speak a word, Jonathan said with a smile, "Vincent shows extremely high talent in every sport. He has already caught up to two of your records that you set on Plum Island,

and he is not far away from breaking the records."

Plum Island was the headquarters and also a training base of Silhouette.

Such a gifted child was one in a million. No wonder Jonathan would wear such a happy face when speaking of the kid.

"Have you checked the background of the child?" Alexander was a little worried. "Who are the parents of him?"

Jonathan had a grandson before but he died in an accident a year ago. This had always been the knot in Jonathan's heart.

Vincent was about the same age as Jonathan's grandson. Alexander was worried that Vincent was abducted because of his love for his grandson.

Upon hearing what he said, Jonathan became unhappy, and grunted like a grumpy old man. "Why? Are you still worried that he was abducted? I've checked Vincent's background and he is an orphan without parents. Anyways, I will keep the child with me. Have it your way."

Alexander did not know whether to laugh or cry when he looked at Jonathan, who was putting on a show of bad temper. He considered Jonathan as his teacher, so Alexander had always respected him.

In the hall...

Vincent was like a little adult, sitting with his back straight and his legs dangling idly. His small face was round and delicate.

William looked at him and had a strong desire to pinch his face.

"Little ki... Vincent, right? come here and eat bananas." William wanted to call him "little kid", and immediately changed his words when it rose to his lips. The kid was adorably fierce.

Vincent looked at William with his arms crossed over the chest, and said in an adult tone, "you are No. 2?"

William's face darkened because it had been a long time since someone called him that.

Easton who was sitting on the side couldn't help laughing.

No one had called him that nickname for a long time.

This was how William got his nickname. William's ranking on Plum Island had always been below Alexander. He was always ranking the second, so he got the nickname "No. 2".

William glared at Easton, then turned his head and smiled at Vincent, "Do you really admire me? Don't be too obsessed with me, I am just..."

Vincent pouted and said, "You have got a good attitude. You have never won the champion but you can still be so narcissistic."

William was speechless.

"Hey, kid, you can't break my heart. You are just a kid knowing nothing. I want to win my boss, but I am not strong enough." William clutched his chest with a heartbroken expression and continued, "If you want to win my boss, wait for another ten years."

Vincent ignored him.

William smiled, came forward and asked, "Were you abducted by Jonathan? What about your parents? Where is your home? How about I take you to find your parents?"

William thought in his mind that normally when a child heard that he would look for his mom and dad, he would be very excited.

But he forgot that a kid who can shoot at the a 8-rings target and dared to challenge Alexander couldn't be a normal kid.

"Huh! I'm not a three-year-old kid, I'm four and a half years old."

Vincent turned his head, jumped off the chair, and walked out of the hall with his hands behind his back.

Coaxing him like a three-year-old kid?

William almost burst into laughter. "What do you mean by grunting?"

And then he asked Easton next to him, "Do the kids now have got quite a personality?"

Alexander and Jonathan came downstairs and didn't see Vincent. Jonathan became anxious, and asked William, "Where is Vincent?"

"He went out. That kid is young but speaks to me quite shortly. He is adorable, but the way he talks is not cute at all." William expressed his opinion.

Jonathan asked, "Did you say anything to him?"

William was at a loss and replied, "No, I just said that I would take him to find his parents."

"That's too bad." Jonathan clapped his fists and said, "How can you bring this up?"

"What's wrong?" William looked puzzled.

The Southern Mountain Community was very large. Vincent walked around alone and found a stone to sit down by the artificial lake.

He was not happy. He often heard his friends on the island asking him about his parents.

But he had never seen his parents since he was born.

He grew up in an orphanage, and the head of the orphanage always bullied him, so he ran out, met Jonathan, and was taken back to Plum Island.

Vincent never saw his parents, but he was very eager to see them, but he never showed it.

When Alexander found Vincent, he was sitting on a rock hugging his knees under the street lamp. His back looked small.

For some reason, Alexander's heart suddenly shrank.

Even if Vincent provoked him in an adult's tone, he was just a child.

"Not happy? "Alexander walked over and sat down next to Vincent.

Vincent's face was bulging, with the word 'unhappy' shown all over his face. He turned his back.

Alexander was amused by Vincent's expression. He put his hands on Vincent's shoulder and said, "Did you cry?"

"No, I didn't." Vincent sniffed. "I won't cry. Only three-year-old children will cry. I'm already four and a half years old."

Alexander didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had always been indifferent and this was the first time he had been so patient with a child, thinking that a child was indeed the cutest creature in the world.

"Alright. I’m a man and I won’t cry."

Vincent raised his head and asked suddenly, "Do you have parents?"

Alexander thought of Jonathan's words and replied carefully, "Yes, everyone has their parents. For whatever reason, your parents are not by your side now, but one day, your parents will come to pick you up."

"Really?" Vincent's eyes were gleaming since he was just a child.

Alexander nodded and said, "Yes."

Seeing how excited Vincent was, Alexander decided to help him find his biological parents.

William and Jonathan found them and didn't go forward to disturb them when they saw Alexander and Vincent were sitting together, and it seemed that they were talking in harmony.

William stared at the large and small figures feeling that was so warm.

Jonathan went out of the island to buy things this time. So he had to stay here for a few days. And Vincent was arranged to stay at the Southern Mountain Community for the time being.

With a kid here, Alexander felt that the Southern Mountain Community had become a bit more lively.

Florence had a meal with her colleague and then went back home. She was quietly lying on the sofa and looking out of the window.

What Evelyn had said echoed in her ears.

The last thing a man could bear was that his girlfriend had given birth to a baby or there was a baby who died in her womb.

Florence was holding the phone and clicked on Alexander's Facebook chat box, but didn't know what to say. After editing the words several times, she finally deleted all of them.

This night, Florence couldn't fall asleep.

She tossed and turned all night until dawn.

Today was Saturday, and she didn't need to go to work.

Florence wanted to stay at home and sleep in, but an uninvited guest came.

Florence lazily opened the door, but it was Colleen who was standing at the door.

"Sis you haven't gotten up yet? It's almost noon."

Colleen smiled. She was wearing fresh soul dress with a sweet smile on her face, which made her look like a girl next door. If Florence were a man, she would have fallen for her.

Florence lazily leaned on the door and said, "Come here to seek an insult again?"

Colleen and Lincoln came to her home in turns, and they wouldn't leave even if they were scolded. Florence felt it so annoying.

"Sis today is Saturday. Let's go shopping together." There was no resentment or anger on Colleen's face, and she looked sincere. "Sis I really want to reconcile with you. Give me a chance."

Florence didn't know what Colleen had in her mind, and sneered, "Reconcile? Are you nuts or something?"

Colleen must have got a vicious way to scheme her. Reconcile with her? She didn't believe a word that Colleen said.

"Sis." Colleen still smiled and said, "I really know I was wrong. It was because I loved Thomas so much before that I lost my temper. Sis, can you not be angry with me? By the way, can you take me to the banquet tomorrow night?"

Colleen stretched out her hand to hold Florence, but Florence avoided it without a trace.

Such a phony girl would definitely not leave so easily.

She was here for the banquet.

Andrew did not send an invitation to the Scott family. As for the Hudson family, it seemed that they weren't going to take Colleen with them.

Florence's guess was right. the Hudson family wouldn't take Colleen since she had offended Mrs. Tyler before, and Mrs. Tyler fanned the flames in front of Thomas' mother. Colleen now was having a hard time living in the Hudson family.

Her mother-in-law hated her so much and always made things difficult for her, and she even had an idea to ask Thomas to divorce Colleen.

Colleen was anxious, and hated Florence even more.

If she couldn't go to the banquet, then the ladies in the circle must know that her status was insecure, and they would laugh at her and take the opportunity to debase and humiliate her.

That was why Colleen went to find Florence. She must go to the banquet.

"Since you've known you are wrong, don’t you need to show me sincerity?" Florence was bored. Since Colleen liked to get herself insulted so much, then she would help her.

When Colleen saw Florence let go of it, she was delighted. "Sis really? You really forgive me?"

"It depends on how you behave." Florence said, "I haven't eaten yet. There is fish in the kitchen. I feel like eating steamed fish. Thank you."

Colleen had always led a pampered life. How could she cook?

Colleen gritted her teeth and said with a smile, "No problem!"

As long as she could go to the banquet and see Florence make a spectacle of herself with all eyes fixed on her, Colleen could bear all of this.

"The kitchen is over there." Florence pointed, with a sneer on her face. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

She could really bear it.

Colleen wanted to search the recipe online and followed the recipe. It shouldn't be difficult, but when she entered the kitchen and looked at the live fish in the sink, she was freaking out.

"They are alive?"

Florence said lightly, "Yes, why? You don't know how to kill it? Then just go. Don't disturb me to sleep."

She expected that Colleen wouldn't leave.

She knew Colleen too well. Colleen could do everything to achieve her goal.

She was not a person who would give up easily.

Colleen said hastily, "Yes, I know. It will be ready soon."

"Well, I will wait for the fish." Florence twitched the corners of her mouth and walked out of the kitchen.

After a while, Florence heard Colleen's scream coming from the kitchen.

The fish struggled in the water and splashed the water all over Colleen. Her hair and face smelled fishy.

She just had her hair done and the dress she was wearing was the latest of this year, and it was her favorite piece of clothing.

However, the fish was not obedient and so slippery that Colleen couldn't catch it. Instead, she got herself in an extremely awkward position.

The fish was struggling in the water with its mouth open. Seeing that the fish opened its mouth wide, she screamed in fright.
