Chapter 1373: I Can’t Say I’m Thinking About Your Daughter
It was good news that little Cheyenne found her grandfather, but unfortunately, old Mr. Edwards insisted on taking her to Yrose.
He said that was the foundation of the Edwards family.
The little girl had lived with the Foley family for six years, and now, suddenly being told to leave made her cry her eyes out.
She couldn’t bear to part with old Mr. Foley, and even more so with Kelvin.
Old Mr. Foley had long treated the little girl as his own granddaughter, even more so than his actual grandson.
He was heartbroken to see little Cheyenne go, but he didn’t want anyone to notice, so he hid in his bedroom to cry.
In contrast, Kelvin seemed much more composed.
The next day, he attended the company meeting as usual, which made the old man call him heartless.
As the departure approached, Cheyenne decided to prepare a gift for Kelvin after much thought.
She even consulted her sister Stella on what to give.
Stella was also eighteen this year and had been directly admitted to a foreign university due to her excellent grades, without needing to take the college entrance exam.
She was planning to go with Sam.
Kelvin also had the opportunity to be directly admitted to a foreign university.
In his previous life, he went to Harvard for three years and earned dual doctorates in Business Administration and Law.
This time, for his grandfather and Cheyenne, he decided to stay.
As a second choice, he chose the top-ranked university in the country, so he would be studying in the capital for the next four years.
Originally, Kelvin planned to take her with him because he felt at ease only when he could keep an eye on the little girl.
Layne’s sudden return three years early disrupted his plans.
On the day the Foley family sent little Cheyenne to the airport, the girl cried until her eyes were swollen.
She clung tightly to the young man and secretly handed him a jade stone, her soft voice tinged with sobs in his ear: “Kelvin, you can’t forget me! Remember to call me often. You can write letters too; I’ll reply diligently.”
Even though she hated writing.
To outsiders, their age difference of seven or eight years seemed like a normal sibling relationship, but only Kelvin knew she was his future wife, someone he would spend his life with.
Even in their previous life, they had never been apart for this long. He felt deeply reluctant this time too.
Seizing a moment when no one was looking, the young man bent down and planted a light kiss on her forehead.
He earnestly reminded her: “Even if I forget myself, I won’t forget you. Don’t worry.”
“When you get to Yrose, study hard and don’t play around. I’ll find time to visit you during holidays.”
The little girl was too young to understand what that “kiss” meant and naively smiled at him.
Her voice sweet as she coquettishly said, “I know, Kelvin. I’ll definitely study hard!”

Kelvin had his doubts but then thought: Even if Cheyenne wasn’t good at math, her talent in other subjects was remarkable. Getting into a top university shouldn’t be a problem.
“Alright, go on.”
Reluctantly ruffling her hair one last time, the Foley family watched the little girl they had raised for six years leave.
Kelvin stood there for a long time until Cheyenne’s figure disappeared into the crowd before he finally left.
A brief separation for a better reunion. Cheyenne, wait for me to come back.
The days that followed seemed to fall into a monotonous routine. Kelvin declined old Mr. Foley’s offer to accompany him and packed his bags alone for university.
On the first day of school, his outstanding looks and extraordinary demeanor immediately caught everyone’s attention, earning him the title of “the most handsome guy in school.”
Countless junior and senior girls openly and secretly tried to get close to him and showered him with attention.
But no matter what they did, Kelvin remained as cold as an iceberg, keeping everyone at a distance.
Moreover, since he had concealed his identity upon entering the school, there were even rumors of someone wanting to keep him as a companion for $10, 000 a month.
Kelvin: $10, 000? Who do they think they’re looking down on?
Fed up with being pestered incessantly, he finally confided in his friends.
Through them, he spread the word.
“No need; I already have a fiancee.”
Within two hours, Qaco University’s campus forum was flooded with posts titled “Kelvin Has a Fiancee.”
Countless hearts were broken.
1: Kelvin really has a fiancee; that’s why he’s not interested in other girls.
2: Kelvin’s fiancee is younger than him; how much younger is unknown.
At first, some speculated he was lying until one day his roommate “accidentally” discovered that their aloof roommate had bought cute plush toys and little dresses on an online shopping site.
Given Kelvin’s personality, it was impossible for him to like such things. His profile also stated he was an only child with no sisters.
There could only be one answer-his mysterious fiancee.
After that, Kelvin moved out of the dormitory and bought a villa outside where he lived alone. Except for attending classes, he spent most of his time outside.
In his third year of university, Kelvin’s people finally found news of Channing.
The day he decided to rescue him, he took half a month off under the pretense of needing minor surgery due to illness.
Given how outstanding he was as a student, his professors readily agreed without question.
Who would have thought that the next day, instead of lying in a hospital bed, the man appeared in full military gear in the infamous Dead Forest?
Even with Sam’s help this time, Kelvin paid a heavy price to successfully rescue his future father-in-law.
Of the twenty people he brought along, only seven survived; even he got shot and was in a sorry state.
“You must escape separately; let me go alone. This way, even if they catch up, they won’t dare kill me,” said the man who looked like a wild man due to all the dirt on him.
He didn’t understand why this young man would come to rescue him; he didn’t recall knowing anyone named Foley.
Even if he did, the age difference didn’t match up.
Cheyenne was only 13 at this time. Kelvin couldn’t very well say he had his eyes on his daughter and was his future son-in-law.
Otherwise, what if the man thought he was a pervert?
“No way. I went through great lengths to rescue you; how could I leave you here alone?”
Kelvin’s attitude was firm and so authoritative that it stunned the man.
“Haha, it’s been years since anyone ordered me around like this. You…”
If not for Kelvin saving him earlier, Channing would have kicked him by now!
But Kelvin couldn’t care about that now; escaping was more important.
He grabbed his father-in-law’s shoulder and dragged him into an off-road vehicle.
“I know where your daughter is. If you want to see her, come with me!”
“What! Daughter… my daughter? That’s impossible!”
He did have an ex-wife but no daughter that he knew of.
“Why not? Miss Edwards gave you a daughter!”
Selah!
He actually knew his wife. Channing stopped struggling and obediently followed him.
