Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Monica Moore, When Did You Learn to Talk Back?
He looked at Sebastian Moore, calmly, and continued, "If that’s really the case, as the child’s father, I’ll definitely take full responsibility!"
Saying this, Mark held Arnold’s hand, confidently and boldly said, "Besides, Arnold and I truly love each other, so even if we don’t have one now, we will certainly have children in the future!"
General Moore was almost driven mad with rage.
This brat took advantage of his daughter and still dared to provoke him!
If Monica wasn’t here, he would guarantee he’d beat this brat until even his own parents wouldn’t recognize him.
"Get out! Get out!" Unable to physically hit Mark, Sebastian Moore roared loudly.
His eagle-like eyes were icy cold, glaring at Mark with such anger, as if he wanted to tear him apart: "Laurant Foster, get as far away from me as you can, don’t let me see you again!"
Mark stood still.
His eyes, dark as ink, met Sebastian Moore’s gaze, calmly stating facts: "Sir, I’m your best soldier, Arnold’s future husband, publicly and personally, you won’t be able to avoid seeing me."
Without waiting for Sebastian Moore to respond, Mark continued earnestly, promising confidently, "I know rejecting your proposal earlier was my mistake. But now I’ve acknowledged my mistake, and I’m holding Arnold’s hand, and will definitely cherish him for a lifetime."
"I can willingly accept any test from you, sir, but I will never let go of Arnold’s hand, and Arnold will certainly feel the same as me!"
Arnold nodded, vocally expressing his stance: "I will never let go!"
Mark smiled, his mischievous eyes filled with a gentle, doting light.
He looked at Arnold, continuing, "To me, Arnold is my future wife, the mother of my future children, someone worthy of my lifetime of cherishing, doting, and deep love."
"I will treat her well, pamper her, and do my utmost to make her happy. Moreover, my care for Arnold will absolutely not be inferior to General Moore’s!"
"Of course, it’s the same for Arnold. Arnold has long set her sights on me, and I will be her future husband, her child’s dad, the person who will walk with her hand in hand for a lifetime."
Originally, upon hearing Mark say he turned Arnold into his woman, Sebastian Moore was already furious, akin to feeling his long-cultivated cabbage had been ravaged by a pig.
But what angered Sebastian Moore even more came later.
After Mark finished the sentence, he continued, "For the mistakes I made before, and the series of consequences that followed, I’m willing to accept any punishment from you, sir."
"But let go of the idea of marrying Arnold off to anyone other than me as soon as possible."
"Because I absolutely won’t agree, nor will I allow the idea of marrying Arnold off to someone else, like Ethan Sterling—sir, let him cool off wherever."
Sebastian Moore was so angry, he almost coughed up blood, his face turned ashen.
Finally, Mark said, "For Arnold, though I believe you will definitely agree to me and Arnold being together!"
"I’ll agree to hell!" Sebastian Moore shouted, unable to suppress his anger, and then pointed at Mark, exasperatedly saying, "Laurant Foster, I’m going to discharge you!"
Honestly, how did he train such a soldier!
He thought a few heartfelt words would suffice for duping and bullying his daughter?
Facing Sebastian Moore’s angry words, Mark remained indifferent, but Arnold, standing beside Mark, was not pleased.
Arnold’s eyes, dark as ink, were full of disappointment.
At the sound of Sebastian Moore’s words, Arnold immediately spoke up in protest: "General Moore, you can’t dismiss an outstanding soldier without reason!"
Seeing the disappointment in Arnold’s eyes, Sebastian Moore instinctively wanted to take back his words.
But upon hearing Arnold stand up for that brat Mark again, Sebastian Moore continued stubbornly, childishly snapping: "I’m a general, whoever I want to discharge, I will!"
Arnold was furious.
"Over the years, Laurant has fought relentlessly on the most dangerous frontlines, rescuing countless people from peril, achieving numerous military merits, and you dismiss him with a single word. You’re a foolish, tyrannical ruler!"
Angrily finishing, Arnold continued, "We don’t want such a brutal, autocratic leader; we’ll report it to headquarters!"
Sebastian Moore was so enraged, he felt his head might burst.
A foolish, tyrannical ruler?
Brutal, autocratic?
Fine, then he’ll show her just how brutal and autocratic he can be!
Sebastian Moore’s eyes filled with fury as he looked at Arnold, angrily, threateningly speaking: "Monica Moore, since when did you learn to talk back to me? Believe it or not, I’ll discharge this guy immediately!"
And with that, Sebastian Moore continued, with unmatched arrogance, "As for reporting to the headquarters, you’re welcome to try, see if anyone dares interfere with my discharge decisions!"
"Humph!" Arnold snorted angrily.
Though aware Sebastian Moore was stating the truth, Arnold still looked at him, defiantly saying: "General Moore, it’s not just you who calls the shots here!"
After saying this, Arnold looked at Mark, "Laurant, let’s go..."
Mark nodded, "Okay."
He was very receptive to the girl’s defense of him, naturally accepting it all.
Though leaving this way would anger the general, wasn’t this just another of the many instances of him defying the general?
Still, before leaving, the necessary words had to be said, "Sir, I ask you to consider matters between Arnold and me seriously, for now, I’ll take Arnold and leave."
With that, he looked at Arnold, "Let’s go."
Mark and Arnold left hand in hand.
General Moore was so angry, he nearly burst a vein, watching Arnold’s retreating figure, shouting furiously, "You, come back! Monica Moore, I’m telling you to come back!"
Arnold said nothing, as if not hearing Sebastian Moore’s calls, resolutely leaving with Mark...
After leaving General Moore’s office, Mark planned to send Arnold back to the Moore family.
But without hesitation, Arnold refused directly, "I don’t want to go back now."
Mark smiled, gently ruffling Arnold’s hair, "Be good, you’ve been away with me for a month, it’s time to go home and take a look."
Arnold did want to go home and take a look.
Although angry at her father, there were still her mother and grandparents at home, worrying about her absence for a month.
But...
"Go back and take a look, hmm?" Mark leaned closer to Arnold’s ear, "If you can’t bear to leave me and want to come to my place, I’ll come pick you up tonight..."
