Young Lord of The Dragon Sect

Chapter 5 I Promise You

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 these four years, she

had suffered from other people's contempt and ridicule 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...Maximilian scratched the back of his head awkwardly, his eyes falling on Wilfred, who was at the

side.

Wilfred immediately laughed and said,"Little brother, thanks to you for showing me the way. I'll leave

first. In the future, if you need anything, you can call me anytime.”

After saying that, Wilfred got into the car.

The Rolls Royce eased out of the way. Maximilian also explained with a smile.

“The old gentleman didn’t know his way around, so I showed him the way.”

Hearing this explanation, Victoria didn’t get suspicious.

Thinking about it, it was impossible that her husband was a hidden rich second generation.

At that very moment, a sharp and unkind word came,"Victoria, is this your husband, the wimp?"

The one who spoke was a gorgeous, stylishly dressed woman with big wavy hair, flaming red lips, wide

sunglasses, and an edgy dress code of a black halter top and super-short white hot pants, with a pair

of straight and slender legs that reflected moist white in the sunlight.

Victoria blushed slightly, squeezed out a smile, hooked the hair falling from her ears, and introduced

him.

“Well, his name is Maximilian, my..."It seemed hard for her to say the word “husband”.

The woman folded her arms around her chest, making her bust full, 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, an overseas returnee, studied abroad for further studies four

years ago and had just returned home these days.

She had wanted to meet Victoria's rumored useless husband, but she didn’t expect to run into him in

time today.

At a glance, he was a loser indeed. Victoria didn’t explain, and her eyes resentfully glanced at

Maximilian, who 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 solved and they

will use my bone marrow.”

“Solved?’Victoria was a bit surprised and said.“How could Grandpa possibly agree to use your bone

marrow?”

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

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

After Maximilian left the hospital, Victoria was still a bit frustrated, and she hurriedly ran into the hospital

with her two girlfriends to confirm the incident before she let out a sigh of relief.

“Victoria, divorce that wimp immediately. I will introduce you to some good guys. They are all rich and

powerful in H City. Besides, I also have some foreign friends who are handsome, rich, and sexually

appealing.

Inside the ward, Leila stood to the side, and watched Victoria tenderly and carefully taking care of Sissi.

Lucie Harper, another girl at the side, 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 froze for a moment and looked at Sissi who was already asleep on the hospital bed. She gently

touched her bare forehead and said with moist eyes,

“I’m not going to divorce him. We've been married for four years and it's a lie that we don’t have

affection for each other.

And, he will always be Sissi’s father unless he doesn’t want us.”

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're saying this for my own good, but it’s my own business.”

Leila wanted to say something but held it back, and said,

“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 in deeper trouble!”

Victoria didn't say anything. She understood Leila was for her good and was just being nice to her.

However, there were some things, especially affection with Maximilian that Victoria had messed up in

her own heart.

In the evening, Maximilian returned home with a bag of apples, and before he could enter the door, he

heard a noise inside the house.

“Victoria, you must listen to mom on this matter. You go divorce that wimp tomorrow!

There is no room for him in the Griffith family!”

It was the voice of his mother-in-law, Laura, who sounded angry.

“Look at what that wimp has done in the hospital today. He embarrassed me so much. Everyone in H

City should know it.

You all saw how Maximilian treated Samuel today. He's just pushing our family into the fire!

In a few days, it would be the mid-year summary meeting of the Griffith family. A new vice president of

the company is to be selected. At this urgent point, Maximilian was disrespectful to Samuel, so it is

impossible that Victoria will be elected.

You must divorce him!”

Laura was about to explode with anger, turning from the closed doorway of Victoria’s room and yelling

in a tantrum at her husband Marcus who was sitting on the sofa and reading the newspaper.

Marcus lowered his head and pretended to read the newspaper seriously without making a sound.

He was a typical hen-pecked husband, with no status in the family. His wife, Laura, handled everything.

Moreover, he was born with a weak nature and couldn't really hold up his head in front of Laura who

was fierce.

When Marcus did not say a word, Laura became even angrier, walked over, tore the newspaper out of

his hand, and scolded,

“Every day you come home and all you know is to read newspapers. Why don't you care about our

family at all? Isn't Victoria your daughter?”

Marcus said helplessly,”I care, but we can’t make the decision on this matter. We have to ask Victoria.”

Laura didn't care, and immediately spilled out and yelled,’l don’t care. Our daughter must divorce that

wimp. It has been four years, and our family has been spit at and laughed at. Haven't you had

enough?”

Laura actually shed tears when she said those words, and simply sat down on the sofa, crying

bitterly.“Marcus, if you’re still a man, you'll make up your mind for me on the spot on this matter!

Our daughter has worked so hard, and now Sissi has leukemia. All of this was because of that wimp,

Maximilian!

She could have married into a wealthy family and become a rich wife, and we could have followed her

to enjoy the blessings. Are you willing to watch Victoria work so hard every day and put up with those

relatives poking her back? If you feel nothing, I’m already heartbroken!”

The Griffith family's main business was in dealing with medicinal herbs and medical devices in H City.

Victoria indeed had to go to the factories, medicinal bases, and markets every day, which was tiring.

Moreover, because of Maximilian, they had a very low status in the Griffith family. According to the

rumors, none of Samuel's inheritance belonged to Victoria.

Hearing this, Marcus was also silent. After all, she was his own daughter.

He was just about to get up when Victoria who had locked herself in the room opened the door at the

moment and came into the living room.

She looked earnestly at the indignant Laura and the sad-faced Marcus and said,"Dad, Mom, I’m not

going to divorce Maximilian!”

Hearing this, Laura became annoyed, and then shouted,"Victoria, what nonsense are you talking

about? You don't divorce him and you want to keep that wimp for the rest of your life?”

“Mom, I’m not talking nonsense. I love Maximilian. Even though I've been criticized and ridiculed by my

relatives and friends for the past four years because of him, he’s my husband after all and he's Sissi's

father!”

“For four years, he has been silently guarding this home. Has there ever been any complaints from

him?”

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

Maximilian stood at the door with a bag of apples in his hand. He took a heavy breath. His eyes were

moist, and he looked up at the sky.

He was smiling. It had been four years, and it turned out she had always loved him, even if he had

brought her endless aggravation. Why this woman was so stupid?

He had promised her a lifetime of prosperity, but now it seemed that everything had come to nothing.

Maximilian squeezed his fist and a serious look came out of his eyes, “Victoria, believe me. My promise

to you will never change and you will become the happiest woman in this world!”

And over here in the living room, Victoria had already burst into tears, looking at Laura and Marcus with

her beautiful eyes and said,

“Mom, dad, you don't understand. I love him and I've been waiting for him to be able to officially tell

anyone that he is Sissi’s father and Victoria’s husband...”

The room fell silent. Although Laura still had resentment on her face, but she couldn't say anything else

after hearing these words from Victoria,.

Just at this time, Maximilian opened the door and stood in the doorway. A smile like a warm sun

appeared at the corner of his mouth. He looked at Victoria who was full of clear tears, walked to her,

and gently wiped away the tears at the corner of her eyes. NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

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

“I don't want to put up with all the ridicule anymore. I don't want Sissi to call you uncle at every moment.

I want everyone to know that you are Sissi's father and my husband, not a wimp.”

Victoria’s eyes were red, and they were filled with tears.

“I promise you.”Maximilian said seriously, looked at Victoria tenderly, and turned to leave.
