Chapter 1583


    It had been a while since he had seen his girlfriends. Levi found it odd himself how he hadn''t


    contacted them the moment he was back. If his mother didn''t bring it up, he had almost forgotten


    about it. "Mom, did they leave their names?"


    Mia tugged on his ear and said, "You naughty boy, it''s time for you to be less flirty. Find a girl that


    you like and get married. Stop thinking about another girl when you already have one in your arms.


    Being this type of man will only hurt others and also yourself. You''d better think it through."


    Levi dodged and replied, "Mom, to tell you the truth, I have never understood my father, my uncle or


    even my cousins. How were they willing to put their wonderful lives into one woman''s hands so


    early? There are so many more years to life, but they settled for looking at the ageing face of one


    same woman. How can people endure that?"


    Mia couldn''t help herself from hitting Levi''s head with her spoon. "Do you know that only a typical


    douchebag would say such a thing?"


    "Mom, life is so short. One must know how to enjoy their time and not devote their whole life to one


    woman so early in their lives. Otherwise, they''lle to regret it," Levi said as he turned to look at


    his father, Neil, who had kept his silence the whole time. "Dad, you have the experience. Do you


    think what I said makes sense?"


    Neil was not dumb enough to fall for his son’s trap. He answered, "That is because you haven''t met


    a girl you truly love. Once you''ve met her, you would never act like how you''re acting now. You will


    try to find a way to marry her, so that she will not be snatched away by someone else."


    Mia was satisfied with Neil’s answer. "You brat, I''m telling you. Back then, your dad fell for me hard.


    He loved me so much that he kept worrying some other man would take me away from him. That


    was why he quickly married me when we were still at a ripe age and brought me into his family."


    Leviughed and said, "Is that so? Mom, I''ve heard that you were the one who wooed Dad. That


    you even spent a lot of effort to win him over."


    "Which idiot told you that? Tell me now. I am going to catch hold of that person and beat him up for


    spreading false rumors." Mia said. She looked over to Neil and added, "Neil, you were the main


    character involved, so you would know what happened best. Tell your


    son the whole story now."


    Neil said, "I can vouch that it was me who chased after your mother back then. I tried to win her


    heart unconditionally without giving up."


    His words didn''t sound too pleasant to Mia''s ears. She looked at Neil and asked, "Neil Brown! What


    are you trying to say?"


    "I put in a lot of effort in winning you over back in those days. Don''t tell me you''ve forgotten?" Neil


    asked in return.


    Mia gave him a punch and said, "Screw you."


    Actually, Mia couldn''t possibly forget how the story really went back then. She could lie to her son,


    to others, but she couldn''t fool herself.


    While his parents were busy bickering, Levi thought of another serious question to ask. "Dad, Mom,


    do you know if I have any emotional issues?"

    "What do you mean?" Mia and Neil asked at the same time.


    Levi added, "I have so many girlfriends, but none of them make me want to marry them and keep


    them away from other men. Is it because I don’t love them or do I have some issues with my


    emotions?"


    "You brat, there are many douchebags out there, but it''s rare for one to be as terrible as you. It''s


    funny that you can think of such a question," Mia and Neil said simultaneously.


    Levi scratched his head and looked puzzled, "Can you guys tell me what true love is all about? Is it


    to be like you guys? If it is, then I think I''d rather not. I don’t want to have a fierce woman as my wife


    and argue with me all the time."


    Mia red at him angrily. "Levi Brown, what have I ever done to you? How could you say such a


    mean thing about your own mother?"


    "Calm down, don''t be angry. Don''t bother wasting your temper on this naughty boy," Neilforted


    Mia and said to Levi, "You brat, just wait. One day, you''ll meet the right person, and you’ll


    understand what it''s truly like to love someone."


    "Father, just admit it if you don''t know the answer either. Don''t put up and act of being wise with


    me," Levi said unhappily.


    Mia interjected, "You brat. You''ve just said that you''ve grown up just now, and now you''re criticizing


    your parents? Is this the definition of growing up?"


    Levi added, "I knew it. Whenever I say something wrong to one of you, the other one will stand up


    and help their partner bully me. I guess you guys picked me up from the streets instead of having a


    stork send me here."


    Of course, Levi was only joking with his parents. It was their family’ s way ofmunicating. It


    would be hard for them if they had to suddenly get used to another way of getting along. It would be


    unsettling for them. It’s more familiar to his parents for Levi to criticize them all of a sudden. Also, it


    was more familiar to Levi that his parents were bullying him as a team.


    The family of three often bickered, but they also loved each other. No one could rece the other''s


    positions in their hearts.


    The holiday went by so quickly. After lunch, Levi chatted with his parents for a while. Then, he had


    to pack up and head back to the army.


    Before he left, Mia grabbed his arm and said, "Son, the army is dangerous. You must take good


    care of yourself and don’t give me any more scares."


    Thinking about Levi getting injured, Mia was still traumatised from thest time. What made it worse


    was that Neil didn''t allow her to enter the military zone to visit her son. As a result, she was still


    unsure of how badly Levi had been injured that time. Hence, she kept worrying everyday.


    "Mom, in the army, all I do is basic training every day to boost my physique. It''s not as scary as you


    think. Stop overthinking it. I''m going to depart now, you and father should head back inside. The


    weather is turning cold, remember to wear moreyers and don''t catch a cold." The training was not


    as simple as Levi told his mother about. The Red Eagle team had some extreme training where the


    cadets could get hurt or lose their lives, but Levi kept it to himself so Mia wouldn''t constantly worry


    about him.


    Mia couldn''t bear to part with Levi and said, "Levi, anyway you have to promise me this... Always


    keep yourself safe."


    Neil took Mia''s arm and said, "I am only returning to the army, and you’ re already acting so


    nervous. Those who don''t know the real situation would think that our son is going to war."


    Mia said, "What would you know about these things?"


    "If I can''t understand, can you?"


    Mia said, "You think that you''re so great just because you'' re the colonel of Chatterton Town. You


    think you know everything just because you’ re in charge of the whole Chatterton Town''s army."


    Neil replied, "Mia Kyle, can you go a day without trying to provoke me?"


    Levi returned to the army in the midst of his parents'' arguing. However, he did not find the noise of


    his parents'' quarrelling to be annoying. In fact, he thought it was the best sound in the world.


    As long as he could still hear his parents bickering with each other, then it proved that his home


    would always be his home. A ce where it was always noisy, but filled with love.
