Dragon Master novel Chapter 5

Maximilian was somewhat swollen and stunned as he watched Victoria’s strange gaze lingering over himself.

“Why are you still here? And this old gentleman, who is he?’

Victoria looked unpleasant. She was not very good to Maximilian. After all, during the past four years, she had suffered from contempt and ridicule from others because of him, and she had already given up hopes for him.

But now, Maximilian was actually standing next to a Rolls Royce car!

How could it be possible?

Maximilian scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his gaze on Wilfred, who was standing beside.

Wilfred immediately laughed and said, “Young man, thank you for showing me the way. I’ll leave first. In the future, if you need anything, just call me anytime.”

After saying that, Wilfred got into the car, and then the Rolls Royce eased out of the way.

Maximilian explained with a smile, “The old gentleman didn’t know his way around, so I showed him the way.”

Hearing his explanation, Victoria didn’t get suspicious about the whole matter.

As far as she knew, it was impossible for her husband to be a hidden rich second-generation.

At the moment, a sharp and unkind remark sounded, “Victoria, is this your husband, the wimp?”

The one who spoke was a gorgeous, stylishly dressed woman with big wavy hair and flaming red lips. She was wearing a pair of broad sunglasses, an edgy dress with black halter top and super-short white pants, highlighting her straight and slender legs that reflected moist white in the sunlight.

Victoria blushed slightly, and forced a smile. Then, she hooked the hair falling from her ears, and made the introduction.

“Well, his name is Maximilian, my...”

It seemed so hard for her to utter the word “husband”.

The woman folded her arms around her chest, making her bust more prominent, and snorted.

“Victoria, you’re too impulsive to marry such a worthless man. Did all the good men in the country die out?”

Leila, the daughter of the Thomson family, was an overseas returnee. She went abroad for further studies four years ago and had just returned home these days.

She couldn’t wait to meet Victoria’s good-for-nothing husband, but she didn’t expect to run into him today.

At a glance, he was indeed a loser.

Victoria didn’t explain further, and her eyes glanced at Maximilian with resentment. However, he looked indifferent.

Why didn’t he have any shame? If it wasn’t for him, she would not lose face in front of her girlfriends.

Maximilian smiled and said, “Victoria, I will go back to work. Sissi’s treatment has been settled and they will use my bone marrow.”

“Settled?” Victoria was a bit surprised and exclaimed, “How could Grandpa possibly agree to use your bone marrow?”

Maximilian explained, “The dean of this hospital said he needs to follow the rules and regulations.”

After saying that, he gave Leila a meaningful look before leaving.

As Maximilian left the hospital, Victoria was still a bit frustrated. She hurriedly ran into the hospital with her girlfriends to confirm the incident before she finally let out a sigh of relief.

“Victoria, divorce that wimp immediately. I will introduce some good guys to you. They are rich and powerful in H City. Besides, I also have some international friends who are handsome, rich, and sexually appealing.”

Inside the ward, standing by the side, Leila watched Victoria taking care of Sissi tenderly.

Lucie Harper, the other girl in the ward, chimed with her,

“Right, Victoria, it has been four years. I feel bad for you and it’s time for you to divorce him.”

Victoria was shocked for a moment, staring at Sissi who was already asleep on the hospital bed. She gently touched her bare forehead and said with moist eyes,

“No, I’m not going to divorce him. We’ve been married for four years. I cannot deny that we have feelings for each other. He will always be Sissi’s father, unless he doesn’t want us anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Leila stomped her foot in anger and said, “Victoria, why are you so stupid? What’s so great about that wimp?”

Victoria turned around and looked at Leila who was throwing a tantrum and said, “Well Leila, I know you say this for my good, but it’s my personal life.”

Leila wanted to say something but held her tongue.

Later, she continued, “It’s up to you, but I’ll spare no effort to break you up! You’re my best friend and I’m not going to let you get into deep water!”

Victoria didn’t say anything anymore.

She understood Leila was for her good and was just being nice to her.

Marcus was just about to get up when Victoria, who had locked herself up in the room opened the door and walked into the living room.

She looked earnestly at the indignant Laura and sad Marcus and said, “Dad, Mom, I’m not going to divorce Maximilian!”

Hearing this, Laura became annoyed instantly, and then shouted, “Victoria, what nonsense are you talking about? If you don’t divorce him, you gonna keep that wimp in the house for the rest of your life?”

“Mom, I’m not talking nonsense. I love Maximilian. Even though I’ve been criticized and ridiculed by relatives and friends for the past four years because of him, he’s always my husband and Sissi’s father!”

“For four years, he has been silently guarding this home. Has there ever been any complaint from his mouth?”

“You despise him, Grandpa despises him, and everyone else despises him, but I don’t!”

Maximilian stood at the door with a bag of apples in his hand. He breathed heavily with emotions. His eyes were moist, and he looked up at the sky.

Deep in his heart, he was thrilled. It had been four years, and it turned out she had always loved him, regardless of the endless aggravation he brought to her. Why was this woman so stupid?

He had promised her a lifetime of prosperity, but now it seemed that all he had delivered her was endless trouble.

Maximilian squeezed his fist and revealed a resolute look, “Victoria, believe me. My promise will never change and I guarantee that you will become the happiest woman in this world!”

In the living room, Victoria had burst into tears, staring at Laura and Marcus with her beautiful eyes.

“Mom, dad, you don’t understand. I love him and I’ve been waiting for the day when he is able to officially tell anyone that he is Sissi’s father and Victoria’s husband...”

The room fell into a dead silence.

Although Laura still had resentment on her face, she couldn’t say anything else after hearing Victoria’s remarks.

Just then, Maximilian opened the door and stood in the doorway. A smile like a warm sunshine emerged at the corner of his mouth. He gazed at Victoria’s teary eyes, and strode toward her. Then he gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes.

“Maximilian, will you promise me? For me and Sissi.”

“I don’t want to bear all the ridicule anymore. I don’t want Sissi to call you uncle anymore. I want everyone to know that you are Sissi’s father and my husband, not a wimp.”

Victoria’s eyes were reddened, and filled with tears.

“I promise you!” Maximilian said seriously, gave Victoria a tender glance, and walked away.
