Chapter 49 A False Joy

“We’ll wait outside; time waits for no one. You get in first,” Sylvia whispered to Caspian by

her side.

While Caspian and Slyvia were talking, Kate, Willow, and Carl had already entered the

villa.

When they stepped inside, Kate, Willow, and Carl were shocked by everything they saw.

The interior of the villa was extremely luxurious, equipped with everything one could only

imagine. It truly

lived up to its value of billions.

Jordan, the young millionaire, was surprisingly extravagant.

“Sylvia, before I leave, there’s something I want you to do, and I want you to do it

personally,” Caspian told

Sylvia beside him.

“At your command, Lord Caspian,” Sylvia nodded.

“I want you to go to the countryside outside Southlake City and bring my foster mother

here,” Caspian

said.

“Foster mother? Lord Caspian, I’ve never heard that you have a foster mother,” Sylvia said

with confusion.

“That was many years ago,” Caspian said while he was lost in deep thought.

It was a stormy night with pouring rain when Caspian, still a baby, was placed in a box and

abandoned at

his foster mother’s doorstep.

His foster mother was also living alone at the time. When she heard the crying and saw

the infant, she took pity on him and took him in. On the box that held Caspian, there were

faint bloodstains.

These things were only revealed to Caspian by his foster mother later on.

Although Lilith’s family conditions were average, she did her best to provide the best for

Caspian.

As Caspian grew up, he joined the military and gradually rose to become the lord of

Diadem Hall!

His achievements today were closely intertwined with his foster mother, Lilith.

“Lord, why didn’t you tell me earlier so that I could make some arrangements for her to

live a better life?”

Sylvia asked as she was puzzled.

“My surroundings are too sensitive, and I didn’t want anyone to exploit the relationship

between my foster, mother and me. That’s why I kept her out of the public eye. If I had

allowed her to attend the wedding, it

would have caused more chaos.

“I simply wanted her to have a happy and stable life in her old age,” Caspian calmly

explained. “Now that I am about to embark on another mission, I won’t be able to visit her

frequently.

“That’s why I want you to bring her to the villa, so she can live a worry-free life. It’s my

way of showing respect, and it will also give me peace of mind while I’m at the border.”

“Understood, Lord Caspian. I’ll take care of it immediately,” Sylvia nodded.

She understood that she had to personally address Caspian’s concerns.

Driving the off-road vehicle, Sylvia prepared to head to the address Caspian mentioned.

Meanwhile, Caspian entered the villa from the outside.

Upon seeing him, Kate approached and asked, “Caspian, my son-in-law, you seem to be

someone

significant. The wedding was so grand, with notable figures from all over the country

bringing gifts to

congratulate you both.”

Besides Kate, Willow and Carl were also eager to know everything about Caspian.

“I’m just a retired soldier,” Caspian replied, choosing not to disclose his true identity.

He was wary that someone with Kate’s personality might become boastful if she knew the

truth. Thus, he

decided to keep his real identity a secret.

Willow and Carl were also somewhat surprised to hear Caspian’s response.

“How is that possible? If you’re just a mere soldier, why would the renowned senior

military officer, John, personally attend your wedding in South Aridlands?

“And why would there be such a deployment of armed forces, even with armored vehicles

and fighter jets

as escorts?”

Kate, to some extent, had a sharp mind.

Caspian’s words made it difficult for her to believe him.

“I mentioned to Willow before that I saved the life of a superior officer, who happens to be

John. I helped

him resolve three assassination attempts and also recovered stolen goods.

“As for the deployment of armed forces, it was all to protect John. After all, he is a senior

military officer, and we can’t afford any mishaps.”

Caspian casually fabricated a reason that coincided with what he had previously told

Willow.

“That’s absolutely impossible. Even if John was truly saved by you, what about the young

elites from the

across the country?

“Why would they all come to attend your and Willow’s wedding?” Kate still had some

doubts and

continued to question him.

“Those were all John’s arrangements,” Caspian replied.

“Why would John invite these people?” Kate continued to ask.

“With the current situation in South Aridlands, Sylvia wants me to return to the frontlines. I

made a promise to Willow that I would give her an incredibly grand wedding, so I asked

John for help to invite

more renowned individuals. This would make the whole wedding appear more

magnificent.

“Otherwise, I wouldn’t agree to go to the frontline in South Aridlands. As a mid-level

military officer, Sylvia knows almost all of these influential families in the imperial capital.

With just a word from her, these

people would show respect and give their support,” Caspian explained.

“Why would they insist on sending you to the frontlines in South Aridlands when you’re

just a former soldier and a personal b*dyguard?” Kate asked again. “And why are so many

people coming forward to

support you?”

“It’s true that I am just a personal b*dyguard, but I am crucial to the safety of high-ranking

officers. Without my protection, their lives would be greatly at risk. Additionally, I have a

significant influence on

the border situation,” Caspian explained.

“How much influence can you possibly have?” Kate skeptically questioned.

“That is classified military information,” Caspian stated.

“Sigh, it’s all just false joy. I really thought you were some remarkable figure.” Kate’s mood

plummeted

from heaven to hell as she found it hard to accept.

“Regardless, Caspian’s promise has been fulfilled, and such a grand wedding has taken

place. Our relatives should regard us differently now,” Carl said.

“What do you know? What significance does a wedding hold? He saved General Andersen

before, but now that he has returned the favor, the debt is settled. If we ever need help in

the future, they won’t lend a

hand,” Kate shook her head and said.

“As long as we live peacefully and be independent, it won’t be necessary to ask for favors

from others. Now that Caspian and Willow have such a nice villa and two luxury cars, it’s

already quite good,” Carl said.

“Alright, let it be. Anyway, this villa is really nice, and since there are so many vacant

rooms, we want to

live here together too. Caspian, you wouldn’t mind, would you?” Kate said.

Caspian was somewhat surprised by Kate’s request. Internally, he was somewhat

resistant, but he didn’t want to directly refuse, so he simply nodded and said, “It’s up to

you. I will be heading to South Aridlands

soon,”

“Caspian, when will you be going to South Aridlands?” Willow asked, only now realizing

that Caspian was going to the front lines. She felt both worried and reluctant in her heart.

“I’ll leave in two hours,” Caspian said.

“That soon?” Willow was surprised. The time frame was too tight.

“Yes, the frontlines are engulfed in battle. I must depart immediately.” Caspian nodded.

“Come to my room later. I have something to ask you.” Willow’s face flushed slightly.

“Alright.” Caspian also had something to discuss with Willow, so they went upstairs

together.
