The Soldier's Unsurpassable Honor
Chapter 652

"Daddy, Daddy. Come here. Look at this. See what I've got..."

Kylie ran over to Fane as soon as he entered the villa's living room, squealing with that cute, angelic voice of hers.

Fane's heart immediately melted at the sound of that voice and at the sight of those doe eyes.

He instantly crouched down to heft Kylie u p, planting a kiss on her supple cheek." Good job! My little girl's got a sticker!"

'That's right. The teacher said I was a good student!"

Kylie's smile was bright and innocent, happiness laced into its curve.

"Oh? Of course, my daughter would be the smartest, most responsible kid in class!"

Fane carried Kylie up the stairs. "Right. Kylie, would you like a reward? Tell me. I'll give you one!"

"Okay. Bring me and Mommy to the aquarium on Saturday!" Kylie asked, staring at Fane in anticipation after thinking about it for a moment.

"Sounds good. We'll bring you there on Saturday!"

Fane only put Kylie down once they were on the upper floor.

He returned to his room. Only then did he notice that Selena had already returned home from work and was taking a shower.

On the bedside table, there was a poster.

Embarrassment clinched Fane when he noticed the poster. This was the advertisement that someone else had helped put up, no? It seemed that Selena already knew about the whole thing.

He sat down for a few minutes. Selena walked out of the bathroom, dressed in casual clothing. A hint of warmth graced her lips when she saw Fane. "You really want to send ripples across the entire city, don't you now? How much money did you spend to advertise it so extensively? It seems like you wouldn't have achieved such a result if you didn't spend at least ten million bucks. Your mom will be worried about your finances. Again."

Fane grinned in embarrassment. "My dear, I just want your birthday to be known throughout the entire city so that you'll have some fine memories. However, I didn't do the advertisements. I don't like being so showy."

Selena was surprised when she heard that. "No way. They would've had to spend a lot of money. The advertisements are everywhere. So much so that I'm embarrassed to go out. My colleagues are even discussing coming over during my birthday."

Her brows furrowed after she pondered for a while. "Strange. Who would spend that much money to advertise the both of us if it's not you? Isn't this just a waste of money? What benefit would they receive?" Fane could not help but give a wan smile looking at Selena's beautifully arched brows. "Think about it, dear. Not many people know about this, and not many were around either when I made the declaration. Who do you think it is?"

Naturally, Selena, being the sharp woman she was, immediately reacted when Fane prompted her. "No way. Xena? But why would she do this? Especially when Ivan had just been sorely beaten up by us. Why would she do this with Ivan?"

"Heh. They still think that I've been poisoned. The poison is expected to manifest on your birthday, and they want to watch the show. Do you get it?" Fane spoke lightly as he chuckled.

Selena finally understood. "Right. They don't know that you've been cured. Ivan-that son of a b*tch! He really wants everyone to watch you die on my birthday, eh? I never expected him to be so wicked!" Fane nodded. "Hah. It's good that they helped advertise the event though. We don't have to do it ourselves anymore. The news will circulate throughout the entire city very quickly."
