Villain MMORPG: Almighty Devil Emperor and His Seven Demonic Wives
Chapter 406 His Hope
Villain Ch 406. His Hope
Allen sat in the back seat of Shea's car, his gaze fixed on the passing cityscape. The neon lights of the city flickered past him, and the hum of the vehicles outside was drowned out by the whirlwind of thoughts inside his head. His mind was far from the busy streets, lost in a world of possibilities and newfound hope.
Allen's thoughts swirled like a storm. He contemplated the future, envisioning the potential for a deeper relationship with his newfound family. There was so much to explore, so much to understand about his father and his sister, Emma.
A faint smile played on his lips, one that spoke of extraordinary excitement and anticipation. The revelation that Jordan was his biological father had injected a fresh dose of optimism into his life. It was as if he had uncovered a missing piece of his identity, a connection that had long eluded him.
Previously, he had braced himself for the worst-case scenario when it came to finding his biological father. In his mind, he had conjured images of a neglectful, irresponsible man—perhaps a drunkard stumbling through life or a reckless playboy who toyed with the hearts of women.
But reality had proven to be a delightful surprise. His father, Jordan, was a wealthy man, a revelation that had left him somewhat stunned. The notion of wealth and privilege hadn't been part of his expectations. Jordan was living a life of affluence, far removed from the hardships Allen had grown accustomed to.
What struck Allen even more was the shared passion they had for gaming. It was a bond that transcended the usual father-son clichés. In Jordan, he had discovered a kindred spirit, someone who not only understood his love for gaming but also excelled in it. It was a connection he hadn't dared to hope for.
Shea and Zoe exchanged curious glances as they noticed the smile playing on Allen's lips. The abrupt shift in his mood had not gone unnoticed, and they couldn't help but wonder what transpired during the conversation between Jordan and Allen.
With a shared frown that spoke volumes, Shea decided to break the silence. She leaned closer to Allen, her voice hushed yet filled with inquisitiveness.
With a shared frown that spoke volumes, Shea decided to break the silence. She leaned closer to Allen, her voice hushed yet filled with inquisitiveness. "Allen," she began, "you've got quite a grin there. Something interesting going on between you and Jordan?"
Zoe, seated beside Shea, nodded in agreement, her gaze fixed on Allen, awaiting his response. It was clear that they were both eager to unravel the mystery behind that unexpected smile.
Shea's question snapped Allen out of his reverie, and he turned to her with a thoughtful expression. Her guess was pretty much on the mark, and he couldn't help but acknowledge it with a simple nod. "Yeah, you could say that," he replied cryptically.
"Mind sharing it with us?" Zoe asked, her curiosity evident in her voice.
Allen glanced at Zoe and Shea, their expressions a mix of intrigue and eagerness He wanted to share with them. However, he'd given Jordan his word, and he wasn't one to break promises lightly.
"Sorry, I can't," he replied, a tinge of regret in his tone. "Mr. Jordan asked me not to tell anyone until the time is right."
Zoe leaned in, a glint of suspicion in her eyes. "Does this have anything to do with the game?"
Allen shook his head. "No," he said firmly. Then, he turned to Shea, wanting to put her mind at ease. "And Shea, this has nothing to do with our business or contract, so you don't need to worry."
Though Allen was itching to share the incredible news, he understood the importance of discretion. He had to honor the promise he'd made to Jordan, at least for now.
ραndαsΝοvεl ƈοm "So this is a pure conversation between you and him?" Zoe confirmed, her curiosity piqued.
Allen nodded. "Yup," he replied, choosing his words carefully.
Zoe's eyes widened as realization dawned on her. "Does that mean..." She trailed off, her mind racing with possibilities.
Before Zoe could finish her sentence, Shea gently but firmly grasped Zoe's hand, halting the words that were about to escape her lips. Shea had come to a similar conclusion. It seemed plausible that Allen and Jordan had discovered their familial connection. While Shea hadn't expected things to progress so quickly, the way Jordan had questioned Allen at the dinner table had clearly hinted at his suspicions.
With a shared glance, Zoe and Shea silently acknowledged their unspoken thoughts. It was a delicate matter, and Allen would share the details when the time was right. Until then, they would wait patiently, ready to support him when he chose to reveal the truth.
"Yes?" Allen encouraged Zoe to continue.
Zoe hesitated for a moment before altering her question. "Does that mean you already know that Mr. Jordan also won a game tournament when he was around your age?" She decided to change the topic.
Allen furrowed his brow, detecting an underlying suspicion in Zoe's inquiry. He contemplated how he should respond, aware that he was also keeping secrets from both Zoe and Shea.
"Yeah," he eventually admitted, his tone thoughtful. "I didn't expect that, even though he comes from a wealthy family, he has a stubborn side," he added, his words laced with a mix of surprise and admiration for his newfound father.
"But who knew that thanks to his hobby, he could build a gaming empire for his family," Shea remarked with a hint of amusement.
Allen nodded in agreement. Then, a warm smile spread across his face. "Yes," he admitted. "But one thing's for sure... I'm very happy that we have a lot in common," he confessed, a glimmer of hope in his eyes. He couldn't help but wish that his relationship with Jordan would be different from the one he had with his stepfather, one filled with understanding and shared interests.
