Chapter 36
36 Ch. 36 Lori’s Quick-witted Way (part 1)
That morning Lori couldn’t stop smiling as she got into the cobalt boat. The most exciting was she would spend time with her parents all day long.
Finally, she could proudly and confidently tell the whole world that she, too, has both parents, and they love her very much.
She also knew her mother disliked her father for some unknown reasons.
If Richard hadn’t been her birth father, Lori wouldn’t have forced her will and would have let her mother stay away from Richard. But since she discovered Richard was her birth father, Lori had made up her mind.
She would try her best to make the two of them fall in love to become husband and wife like Opa Stanley and Oma Meisya. After all, they must have fallen in love in the past. Otherwise, she couldn’t have been born.
Well, Lori didn’t know she was born into this world because her mother drugged her father just for revenge. There was absolutely no love between the two.
Lori believed that Richard and Anxia were lovers in the past. Hence, she planned various things that could spark an old love between the two.
“Wow, mommy, look! There’s a duck over there!” Lori exclaimed while shaking Anxia’s hand to get her attention.
“Where? Oh, right. Do you remember what a duck sounds like?”
.....
“Of course! quack, quack, quack.” Lori imitated the sound of a duck while walking on the spot by shaking her hips as if she were a duck swimming on the water’s surface.
Richard was steering the boat while glancing briefly at his daughter, who made a funny move. He activated his digital program and told him to control their canal boat.
Stanley Calvin, his father, was not just an ordinary hacker but a creator assistant digital helper. In his father’s youth, Stanley created four of his favorite digital programs: Audrey, Eleanor, Rossie, and Selenka.
Each has a different task and character. Eleanor and Audrey could hack but on a different level. Eleanor was only limited to hacking housing or ordinary street cameras, while Audrey could hack state computers to satellites in outer space.
Rossie was a housekeeper who controlled the computer system in the house. In the past, Rossie could only look after one house, but Stanley has upgraded it so that Rossie could take care of more than two houses at once.
Including one of their villas in Frankfurt. Richard had told Rossie to lock the house as soon as Anxia stepped into his villa. That’s why Anxia could neither escape nor run away when she realized her mission to take her daughter had failed miserably.
On the other hand, Selenka was only for entertaining the Calvins. When someone was sad, Selenka cheered him up with her cheerful character. Selenka also had a mischievous character like Stanley.
Above all, Stanley managed to create the best of the best programs... Tiffany. It could hack on a large scale without being caught. Plus, Tiffany also had a high defense so that no one would notice its existence.
Stanley had created two Tiffany, and he had given them to Katleen Morse and Diego Regnz.
It was only a few years ago that Stanley finished creating the third Tiffany, and this time, Stanley didn’t give it to anyone. It seemed that he had yet to find someone worthy of Tiffany’s protection and unlimited information.
Since Stanley’s three children grew up, Stanley gave Eleanor to Richard while Raymond got Audrey. He knew very well that Richard didn’t need Audrey because he could take care of himself better when it came to cyberwar than Raymond. That’s why Stanley left Audrey to Raymond.
While Harmonie, Stanley himself protected his youngest daughter before finally entrusting the girl’s protection to her future husband.
After making sure Eleanor took over their boat, Richard walked back to his wife and daughter. After all, their boat speed was tortoise-like, so these two loved ones could see the scenery around them.
Richard pretended not to know or care as Anxia’s body stiffened as he sat down next to her. He extended one hand behind Anxia’s back while yawning widely as if he was so sleepy, but his real intention was to hug his wife.
Noticing the movement of her husband, who was about to take advantage of her, Anxia shifted imperceptibly, making Richard smile lopsidedly.
Richard moved as if he wanted to be closer to his daughter, who was standing holding on to the side of the boat to watch the flowers bloom. In fact, he wanted to be close to his wife, and he sighed with satisfaction as he inhaled her intoxicating scent.
“Lori, do you like it?” Richard raised his left hand to caress his daughter so that now his position was as if he was hugging Anxia... trapping her petite figure to be exact.
He did it on purpose because Anxia was about to get up to change seats. But Richard held her back by acting as if he wanted to pamper baby Lori.
Now Anxia was trapped entirely without being able to escape again. On her right, there was no place to stay away anymore because her sitting position was at the very end of the boat. While on her left was the frame of an asshole clinging to her body. Richard’s right hand was behind her, resting his palm on the edge of the boat while his left hand crossed her front body to stroke Lori’s head.
Anxia bit her lip in frustration to hold back all her current emotions. If only her daughter weren’t with them, Anxia would beat this man up, if necessary, throw this man into this canal and then leave him driving the boat as fast as possible without looking back.
“I really like it, dad. Mommy, are you having fun too?” Lori purposely shifted her question to her mother because she knew that her mother had fallen silent as soon as her father sat down.
She could see her father’s efforts to enter her mother’s heart, and Lori was more than happy to help her father.
It was a good thing that Anxia didn’t know her daughter’s intelligent thoughts. Otherwise, she might have cried in her heart out loud.
