Chapter 1389

~4 min read 627 words

Seeing that Homelander didn't seem to be turning hostile, she swallowed her saliva and reminded him cautiously: "Mr. Su Quan is President Madelyn's guest."

Homelander frowned deeply, and his cold, sharp gaze stared over instantly.

Ashley Barrett felt as if she were being stared at by the Grim Reaper; she closed her mouth instantly, not daring to act rashly.

Homelander asked her expressionlessly: "Why did you specifically mention Madelyn?"

Ashley Barrett didn't react for a moment.

"Wha, what?"

Homelander stared at her coldly, revealing a fierce look without warning, and shouted sharply.

"Answer me!"

"Why did you specifically mention Madelyn!"

The cold and violent questioning gave Ashley Barrett a fright; the fear arising from the depths of her soul made her tremble uncontrollably, her brain blank.

"Trash!"

"You are just trash! Garbage! Loser!"

"I warn you, don't specifically mention this name in front of me again; I have no other relationship with her."

"Do you understand?"

Homelander grabbed Ashley Barrett's neck, pulled her forcefully in front of him, gritted his teeth fiercely, and said word by word.

Ashley Barrett nodded hurriedly: "Un, understand, I understand, I guarantee there won't be a next time, sir!"

"Get out!"

Homelander said in a low voice and let go of her.

Ashley Barrett wanted to leave urgently with weak hands and feet, but just as she turned around, she heard Su Quan call out lazily and leisurely.

"Stop."

At this moment, Ashley Barrett was about to collapse.

She didn't dare provoke Homelander.

She couldn't afford to provoke this mysterious Mr. Su Quan either.

One told her to get out, the other told her to stop.

When gods fight, mortals suffer.

Ashley Barrett was already cursing her mother in her heart!

"A-Zu."

"This is where you are wrong."

Su Quan put down his coffee cup, and amidst Homelander's awkwardness, Starlight's surprise, and Ashley Barrett's horror, he stood up and pulled Ashley Barrett to stand in front of Homelander.

Homelander's eyes drifted, very unaccustomed and unnatural, as he asked in a low voice: "What do you want to do!"

"Teach you how to be a person."

Su Quan put his arm around Homelander's neck, patted his cheek like a real man, and said sincerely: "I know you didn't have a happy childhood, so I don't blame you for having this kind of personality now!"

"A father's fault is not teaching his son!"

"Blame me!"

"Blame me for not being by your side, blame me for not giving you a happy childhood, blame me for not teaching you how to become a responsible man!"

Homelander looked at Su Quan blankly, and a feeling he had never had before inexplicably grew in the bottom of his heart.

Moved?

Grievance?

Or... resentment?

He thought of the loneliness and pain he had in the lab when he was a child.

If...

If he had been by his side at that time; if he had taught him by example like other children's fathers...

Eating together, living together, playing games together, watching competitions together...

He would send him to school, and would be furious because his grades weren't good.

He would teach him how to shave his beard clean...

Perhaps he would even secretly stuff a few Smurfs into his pocket when he went on his first date with a girl.

But... 'if' is just 'if', and 'perhaps' is just 'perhaps'!

What he once longed for, what he possessed, was ultimately just a longing, and ultimately he failed to possess it!

"It's not too late to catch up!"

Feeling Homelander's low mood, Su Quan said 'sincerely': "I am also a father for the first time, without experience, but I am willing to learn, willing to try."

"A-Zu... are you willing to give Daddy this chance?" ===== CHAPTER 1391 =====
