Old master Richard was fond of Kate since their marriage; he was present, even though he was overly affectionate; he knew she was no ordinary girl.
He felt respect toward this little girl who could tame a wild lion-like David Xiver; she could be anything but an ordinary girl.
"Okay, as you wish, but don't forget this old man; as much as they are children of the Xiver family, they are also god-great-grandchildren of this old man, so keep coming anytime to trouble this old man."
The older man said with a sigh, what he could, if possible, he wanted to keep the angles to himself.
But he knew that was not possible, so he let them go.
After dinner, Liam drove David and the others back home; since Adam had just returned, David didn't want him to come along and spend time with his parents and grandpa.
Adam knew, so he stayed back, but in his heart, he couldn't understand it was not like David hadn't any other properties; why did he have to return to the south mansion, since their enemies knew the place well? What if they attacked again?
But he didn't know that David had already learned his lesson once stumbling, and he knew what he needed to do to protect his family. Even the enemies knew; they could only think, not get in again.
Not even dare to come near his south mansion.
Rose and Nina accompanied Daniel, David held Destiny since the little girl was daddy spoiler, and Kate carried Devin, who was very calm in his mother's arms, unlike his sister and brother.
Noah was sitting next to Kate, obediently holding Kate's left hand.
That boy has poles apart from others. As a result, he might not understand the situation.
But he missed them. Now he has grown a little older. He is now four years older but more sensible than his age.
Destiny was pulling her dad's nose and lashes, but David didn't even stop her and let her play with his face as she wanted. Kate wanted to laugh, but she could understand after getting daddy; the girl was very energetic.
It seems she missed having daddy very much, and her son, who even used to refuse her when she wanted to carry him, missed her more than anyone.
Whoever says the son was a mother's heart, while the daughter was father's cotton pad in winter.
David's hand was on Kate's waist, even holding his daughter; he didn't forget to keep his wife close to him; the touch connection was like each other's peace and happiness; if not for the children, he would have carried her in his lap.
"Darling, are we going back home, will there be any problem?" Kate asked; she knew she shouldn't ask this since she believed he would do nothing without a plan.
"Wifey, believe your darling, our home is not the same as before anymore, and no one would dare to come near it; there will be a surprise for everyone," David said with a meaningful smile.
Kate was puzzled, like Nina and Rose; since the day David left and they heard the news about his death, Nina and Rose never once went to their home because grandpa Richard strictly told them not to go out, especially outside the mansion.
So they didn't know what had changed in their home.
Kate nodded; if her husband told her to go east, she would never even think about going west; her devotion was on another level for her darling.
The Richard mansion was quite far away from the south mansion, so it took 30 minutes even though there wasn't any traffic, the sun already went to rest, and a moon was shining in the sky's corner.
The car entered the main gate; unlike other times, at least 20 black-clothed and masked men were standing with weapons.
They were standing in their position, saluting, when they saw the car, but they didn't move from their job.
Kate and the other two were shocked, even though they used to have guards on their main gates.
It was on another level. She looked at David with a questionable gaze, but David just smiled gently.
The car could go in front of the main door, but David told them to get out of the car and walk on foot, and they stepped out excitedly.
David hugged Kate's waist and walked forward; Rose took Noah's hand and walked behind with Nina and Daniel; they looked around,
David turned around, and soon a ripple appeared outside the gate, and the mansion got separated from the outside world, but that was not all; David looked at his men; they activated the system and threw something into the sky.
The moment the system detected this, a brilliant light destroyed it immediately.
"What was that?" Nina asked, looking at the sky.
"If someone wants to enter forcefully, the system will take it down." He didn't explain what was in that thing that his men had thrown up, but they could guess that the system would attack only if something dangerous appeared.
So David means by showing this, if anyone dared to come to attack them from up, the system could destroy it immediately.
They were pretty shocked; oh my god, are they entering a war zone?
"Brother, don't tell me you turned your home into a battlefield; what is this all about?" Rose was unlike Nina, who had never thought before talking.
Liam also followed them, even though he knew some of David's planning, but after seeing the arrangement, he was shocked. Rose was right.
There wasn't any path where these black-masked men with their best-looking German shepherd dogs, but when they saw David and the others, even the dog bowed with them.
Liam and the others sat down on the couch; suddenly, Nina's phone buzzed. Nina looked at the content inside the message, stood, and left the living room.
David noticed the abnormality, but he decided not to go behind her.
Liam looked at David,
"Since you and my sister-in-law are back home, how about I send my family to discuss our marriage?" The marriage was hanging on its head because of David's despair and Daniel's kidnapping.
David raised his eyebrows. "Did you prepare the dowry?" But, he asked, he would never hand his younger sister to anyone with no security in her marriage, even if the groom was his brother and friend.
Liam laughed. "You sucked me dry and now demand another dowry?" Liam laughed; he was teasing, not like he had prepared nothing.
Rose rolled her eyes "if you want to take me away, at least show some sincerity." She would never go against her brother's wish; even the opposite person was hers, soon to be a groom.
Liam pouted at her, but he didn't mind "since my bride wants to see some sincerity, how about the Jones family's entire fortune?" He asked seriously.
It startled Rose, even though she knew he was serious, but she was joking; how she would dare to ask for the Jones family's entire fortune, it was best he didn't say this in front of Mrs. Jones, otherwise what if she thinks Rose was a gold digger?
"Do you want your clan to eat my sister alive?" David asked instead of Rose, even though he was unsure about Liam's decision, but he knew him rather well.
This man seemed to have done something like this for David; he had earned everything with a single hand, so it was not hard for Kate to accept what belonged to David, but this matter was different for Liam.
Even his parents wouldn't mind; his relatives always frown at his sister.
"Don't worry, I know my worth; I'll never point their finger at my wife because everything I own belongs to her." Liam put away their fear with a single line, making Rose suspicious about his thoughts.
"That's better, brother Liam; our Rose is not spilled water; if she gets hurt by your family, even a little, we will take her back." Although Kate said this with a severe expression, Liam knew she was not joking; Kate still held a grudge against his mother's behavior.
But Liam was happy, at least with David and Kate's backing; his family would just shut their mouths when the time came.
"As you wish, just like my wife said, you know I'll not spare anyone if they dared to say anything to upset my sister."
But David warned Liam, even though he knew this decision of Liam's would cause another mess in Jones' family, he was a selfish brother, only wanting what was best for his sister.
"Then I'll send my family over on Sunday to fix the marriage date." He had waited for enough; he didn't want to miss another month again.
He looked at Rose with a smirk; Rose blushed; she didn't look at him anymore; she knew what he meant by that lustful look.
