The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 111

It wasn't long before Celia stopped in front of Joshua with her favorite car, a red Ferrari.

Joshua opened the front passenger door to enter. However, Celia lowered the window glass and said to Joshua,

“Sorry! Joshua, my best friend doesn't like to go shopping with boys, so you can have fun yourself! Goodbye!”

With that, he stepped on the gas and disappeared right under Joshua's nose. Joshua was left standing by the side of the road with a confused face.

He was confused. He did not believe that Celia would do this stunt. Making her wait here for him was just an excuse. He had no intention of taking her in from the beginning. He couldn't get rid of her if he was driving and following her, but it was too late for him to start driving now. He can't chase her.

'What should I do? Going back? I cannot bear the humiliation! We both went together, but I came back alone?'

Finally, he decided to go and have a drink with his friends!

'F!'

Celia didn't come home until night. He sees his father Jon and his mother Mindy sitting on the sofa in the living room as soon as he enters his house. He wants to sneak upstairs. But Mindy stopped him. He could only sit with them.

“‘How, Celia?” ask Mindy.

“‘What's how?” Celia asked, pretending not to understand.

"Don't pretend to be stupid. Joshua!”

“He's not special!” Celia answered casually.

“What do you mean he's not special? He was a top student who had studied abroad."

"Mother! He won't even tell us which school he graduated from. A student up top? He only spent money to study abroad because he could not be accepted at the university here! Don't be fooled."

“Yah. Even so, he was quite handsome, tall, and had a good family background. Her dad..."

"Mom! What difference does it make to me who is his father?”

“Why not important? I'm trying to get you both."

“I'm not interested!”

“You...Jon! Look at the good princess you raised!” Mindy turned and shouted at Jon.

“What does this have to do with me?” asked Jon plain.

"Why has nothing to do with you? He's been following you all these years! Celia used to be very obedient. He never spoke back to me."

"Our daughter may become like this because you always leave!" muttered Jon slowly.

"Jon Young! How dare you blame me? Do you think I want to go all the time? Do you think I want to fly around the country and the world? Do I not feel exhausted? Can you afford to stay in a nice villa and hire people to do chores if I don't? Our mother and son will starve to death with your salary!” Mindy roared furiously.

“OK okay okay! It was all my fault. You've worked so hard, honey! I didn't educate our daughter well. I will educate him in the future!”

Jon quickly admitted his mistake. If he doesn't admit he's wrong, he's afraid his wife will blow up their roof.

“Hmph!”

“Well, Mom, I'll ride first if there's nothing else!”

“‘Wait! I'm not done yet! Don't you have feelings for Joshua?” Mindy asked in earnest.

“No! And I'm still in school! Are you so eager to marry me?” Celia said with a bit of sadness.

“Celia, I don't want to marry you. I'm just trying to find you a great guy. Just like Joshua. His height, appearance, status, and background were at least better than those who were still in school! I just don't want you to waste your time with poor students."

“What makes it better than others? Isn't he just a rich heir who only relies on his parents?” Reply Celia.

"So what if he's a rich heir? What's wrong with a rich heir? As long as he is kind, ambitious, and his parents help him, he might be able to surpass his parents in the future!”

“Good! Alrighty! Mom's right! But I'm still young! I don't want to date this fast! Will you stop pushing me?” Celia begs.

"No! Something is wrong! Do you have a boyfriend at school?” ask Mindy suddenly.

"W-what? I. I don't have a boyfriend! Don't make it up!” Celia answered nervously.

"There's something fishy about your nervousness. I've been in the business world for years. Do you think I can't see what you're thinking? Tell me. Who is he?” mindy said firmly.

Jon also put down his newspaper and looked at Celia. She didn't know her daughter had a boyfriend. If true, this is serious and needs to be addressed. Girls are easily intimidated.

"Mother! That's not true! Can you stop making it up?”

“Jon! Look at the good princess you raised!”

“Celia, tell me if you have a boyfriend. We don't want to make things difficult for you, but you as a girl should have self-esteem, understand?” said Jon.

“Dad! L'm..I really don't have any! How could you not believe me?” Celia said sadly.

“‘Is he one school with you? Or did he go to your university? Waita minute!"

Something came to Jon's mind! Celia follows him to Shu City for one year in high school. She was transferred back, but she refused to return and wanted to continue her schooling there, saying she had to study independently since she was an adult. She thought her daughter was an adult.

‘Looking back, could it be that they were gathered at that moment? During that year, we only went to see him occasionally. They didn't stay together back then, did they? It might be!'

Jon was heartbroken by that thought. Some punk managed to lure his beautiful daughter. If he knew who it was, he would break his leg.

“Celia, tell the truth! Did you refuse to follow me back during senior year just to be with him?" Jon asked after calming down.

"What's? Celia, so you don't want to go back during senior year so you can be with her?" Speak on.

"Did you live together at that time? Do you think you're ready to spread your wings and leave the nest, damn girl?

Mindy was very upset after hearing what Jon said. Does their daughter live with others without telling them?

That was so horrible! The point is they don't even know who that kid is. That's what makes them angry the most.

"Dad! Mama! What are you guys talking about? I don't live with anyone." Celia almost cried.

"Jon, you've done a great job. How could you not know that something is going on with your daughter? How do you raise our child?” Mindy turned to question Jon.

Jon didn't say anything. It was his fault. He knows who the kid is. David Lidell's!

A boy who saves the life of his daughter, who is also his classmate. He remembered his daughter mentioned it often back then. He even asked his daughter to invite him, but the child seemed to refuse. He was also busy with work back then, so he did not pay attention to it anymore. He didn't even have time to thank David. Now he seems to have failed in his duties as a father.

“What is David?” ask Jon.

“Dad! I've never lived with any man!”

“Who's David?” ask Mindy.

Jon tells Mindy about David's rescue of Celia.

"What's? A courier boy? Celia, I'm telling you. I will never let you guys be together! How is a delivery guy good enough for my daughter?” exciting Mindy.

"Mother! What's wrong with delivering food? David only works part-time. It's not that he delivers food all the time!” Celia shouted back as well.

Mindy can criticize him, but not David. David risked his own life to save her.

"So you now admit it?”

Mindy felt her blood pressure slightly rise. Is his daughter dating a classmate who delivers food?

How could he accept that?

Celia has always been his pride. He had trained Celia from an early age, regardless of the cost. Celia is also a hard worker. He can play the piano, play chess, calligraphy, sing, dance, and do almost anything.

Most importantly, he developed Celia's temperament. She believes her daughter is the absolute center of attention wherever she goes. However, such an outstanding princess had chosen to be with an item handler. Even if he is not a delivery boy, he works part-time delivering food instead of studying hard in high school. How capable is his family?

Nah! He can't let David destroy his daughter. They have to break up.

"You should break up soon!” Mindy ordered Celia.

"No! I want to be with David! He risked his life to save me. It's okay you don't thank him, but how can you say such a thing?” exclamation Celia.

“Celia! David saved your life, and we're very grateful to him, but you don't have to give yourself to him just because he saved your life. This isn't love. You just want to repay his kindness. You will not be happy in the future!” Jon tried to advise.

“Daddy, how do you know we won't be happy? David is strong-minded, ambitious, optimistic, and cheerful. He's a hundred times better than the kid that Mother Joshua just introduced him to!”

"You...You're trying to piss me off!” Mindy was so angry at Celia that she could not say anything.

Jon has a headache too. His daughter seems to have made up her mind with David.

'Ohh! I'm too careless.'

When his daughter was saved, he was supposed to talk to her and give David some money as compensation. Given David's family situation, he wouldn't say no. In that case, they would not face this problem afterwards.

Her daughter was young, and someone had risked their lives to save her, so the tall figure must have already occupied the space in her heart. Moreover, the two of them were classmates. It would be strange if they did not develop feelings for each other when they were together every day.

What do they have to do?

He doesn't care much!

If David was indeed as Celia had said, she would not be against them dating. She thought her daughter had always been a good girl, but then she suddenly did something like that without telling her parents, so she found it hard to accept it.

Moreover, they had been living together for a year without them knowing who the boy was. Now that she knew that David, who had saved her daughter's life, she did not comment.

A person who would risk his life to save passers-by must be a good person. He had no requirements about money and background. He just has to be nice to his daughter and his daughter has to like him.

Their families were not short of money, and according to him, having too much money was useless. Not so with his wife, Mindy. He has struggled in the business world for many years and has known many wonderful boys. A man from a small town like David was no match for these people.

Besides, his wife was a very proud woman. If his friends and partners in the business world found out that he got such a daughter-in-law, he would dig a hole in the ground to bury himself.

He's got a headache. One of them is his daughter. The other is his wife. He doesn't know what to do.

"Jon, what do you think we're doing? It's all your fault! We have a daughter who is obedient. It's only been a few years and see how you raised him! What's the point of me working hard out there?” Mindy scolded while pointing at Jon.

"Why don't we meet David first?” Jon asked carefully.

"Meet her? What's in it to meet a guy from the slums?” Mindy refused.

“Mother! I won't let you talk about David like that!”

"You. You really want to piss me off, don't you?”

"Alright fine! Stop arguing, you two! I think we should meet David! After all, he saved our daughter's life. Without her, our daughter wouldn't be sitting here right now. What is the point of our lives? Don't you think so, honey?” ask Jon.

Mindy stopped talking. He doesn't make sense. He is grateful that David risked his life to save his daughter. However, he could not just save someone and steal them without saying a word.

If David was his daughter's classmate at Greenwood University, he would accept it if he came from a better family. However, David comes from a small area and does not even seem to be from an established family, which makes it difficult to accept him. Her daughter is perfect.

Just look at Joshua and his mother's reaction today. The Houston family is a wealthy family with hundreds of billions of dollars in assets. Such a family heir could not take his eyes off his daughter. If David becomes his son-in-law, his business friends will find out. How could he lift his head at that moment?

That can't be happening. When I met David. He would tell her the difference between her and Celia and then slip her some money so that she would leave Celia. A member of a lower class society from a small village like David might have never seen a hundred thousand dollars.

'It's over then!'

After getting the idea, Mindy turned to Celia and said, “Celia, don't blame me! I've been like you before. And I want to be with you all the time, taking care of my husband and son at home, but your father is not good enough. His small salary can only prevent us from starving, but I want the best for you. So I can only work hard. Otherwise, how do you think you got this big house and the car you drive? Trust me! I wouldn't mean to hurt you!”
