Chapter 1459 Extra Story About Gifford (Part Six)


    Wesley covered his face with one hand and took his granddaughter from ir''s arms with the other.


    "Don''t tell anybody he''s my kid anymore. Gifford''s too stupid to be one of mine," he said in a quiet


    voice.


    When his wife gave birth to their children back then, he didn''t act like Gifford at all.


    Gifford was a militarymander with thousands of soldiers under him. Wesley couldn''t help but


    wonder if he got his rank because of favoritism. They liked Wesley, so they gave special favors to his


    kid.


    ir pulled Gifford over and spat, "What do you think you''re doing? Didn''t the doctor say that Chantel''s


    in the delivery room for observation? You can''t get out of bed and walk as soon as you have a child.


    They''ll let her go when she''s ready."


    Fortunately, Chantel was wheeled out of the delivery room at this moment. Seeing her wife, Gifford ran


    over excitedly, picked her up from the bed and kissed her again and again, ignoring everyone else


    around them.


    ''Awesome, she''s here now. Thank God!''


    The crowd couldn''t help but cover their eyes. How could Gifford show off his love for his wife at the


    door to the delivery room? It was so inappropriate!


    Chantel had not regained her strength yet. She blushed and whispered, "Let go of me. They''re staring


    at us!"


    After confirming she was fine, Gifford gently let Chantel lie down again.


    Later, Wesley told Erica about it. As his sister, Erica knew the day his wife gave birth to their baby,


    Gifford cried like a fool and even threatened the doctor.


    Gifford''s second child was a girl. He held her in his arms excitedly, dancing around the room. Now the


    whole world knew Chantel had given birth to a daughter.


    Their child was scarcely 100 days old when Gifford and Chantel finally held a wedding ceremony.


    The wedding and reception were grand affairs, with music, food, dancing and alcohol. Not to mention


    tons of flowers. Just like he promised her. They didn''t invite too many people. Except for Gifford''s and


    Wesley''s military friends, they only invited a few friends and family.


    Before the start of the Lunar New Year, Sheffield officially tookmand of the Violet Eagles.


    Since then, the three women—Chantel, Erica and Tessie—were no longer members of that


    organization. But they were still respected in the gang, and they told their formerrades in arms that


    they always had their backs.


    After the Lunar New Year


    It had been more than a year since Chantel had been the subject of tabloid gossip. The paparazzi


    caught her getting a hotel room with another guy. Since that time, she''d been proposed to, given birth


    to a daughter, and gotten married in an ostentatious celebration. What a year!


    Chantel finally posted a status update on Weibo, which said, "Hi guys. This is actually Chantel Ye.


    Today, I want to give a shout out to my fans who have been there for me since I first started. And I need


    to let you in on something.


    I want to thank my parents-inw and two sisters-inw. Without them, I wouldn''t have found my own


    happiness so soon.


    Yes, I''m married.


    We got our marriage certificates a few years ago, but we didn''t actually get married then. He held a


    wonderful wedding for me a while ago.


    My husband is a great guy. He''s sometimes childish and sometimes mature. He is twelve years older


    than me. As a result, when we are together, he is always the one taking care of me and putting up with


    me.


    He always tells me he wishes he met me years ago. He says if we met earlier, we''d have more time


    together.


    He maintains that I fell in love with him first and he finally fell in love with meter. He wants me to be


    his one and only.


    But I can''t tell you who he is. He can''t be in the limelight because of his job, and I respect that.


    The reporters once reported that I got a hotel room with a man, and that was him. I was on a business


    trip, and he just happened to be there.


    The reporters said I gave birth to a kid not long ago. That much is true. We have a son, born back


    when we got our marriage licenses. And we have a daughter, born a few months ago. I''m sorry that I


    haven''t been on here as much as I want. I left it to the press to report on things, and I should have told


    you guys first.


    He proposed to me, too. Got down on one knee.


    That day, he gave me arge bouquet of pink roses and told me that he wanted to n a wedding for


    me. He said it might not be too fancy, but he would try to make it first-rate and really something else.


    So we had a wedding.


    And he was right—it was awesome. We both chose a wedding dress together, and he chose the venue


    to hold the wedding and reception in. The ce was full of my favorites, pink roses and perfume lilies,


    and the floor was covered with blue roses, meaning a lifetime of love.


    He is not a very romantic person, he''s pretty dumb when ites to love. He won''t say sweet words to


    me at all.


    But he proposed to me on one knee in front of so many people heedless of who he was, and gave me


    a wedding I''ll never forget. I''m happy.


    Now I''m part of a fantastic family. I have a set of inws who are very good to me, a husband who


    loves me a lot, two great sisters-inw, and a pair of cute kids.


    I''m so happy!


    I want to make this work. You may not see me around a whole lot. But I''ll take parts in a TV series here


    or there when I get the chance. After all, I like acting. I don''t want to give up my careerpletely.


    Thank you for your support through all of this. Thank you for yourpany and love along the way.


    I''m sorry. I got emotional writing this.


    Hope you don''t mind."


    She also posted nine of her wedding photos. She was d in a wedding dress and Gifford wore a white


    suit. In the photos, she was facing the camera. He lowered his head, intending to kiss her, or looked up


    at her. In a word, his face couldn''t be seen clearly in any of the photos.


    And there were pics of her children, of course, their faces were not exposed.


    The influence of this Weibo post was beyond everyone''s expectation. Chantel''s name had been


    trending at number one for three days before giving way to other, timelier topics.


    In the eyes of her adoring fans, it looked like she was happy now. And her husband was good to her.


    She wanted to have time to enjoy it, and to work on her marriage. She might even quit acting, and stay


    home to look after her husband and her kids.


    Her fans felt sorry for her, but at the same time, they were happy for her. After all, she really found her


    own bliss, didn''t she?


    Erica quickly ran to herment area andmented, "Dear sister-inw, I''m here.


    Wishing you and my brother a happy life together!" Well, Erica let the cat out of the bag with that


    The fans were gobsmacked. Chantel and Erica were not only good friends, but also sisters-inw.


    And they found out that Chantel had married the youngest, most valiant, battlewise colonel. No wonder


    she kept a low profile all the time.


    What was more, for the people who said that Chantel was Matthew''s mistress, this piece of news was


    like a bucket of cold water in the face. She was not Matthew''s mistress at all. But she was his sister-in-


    At the height of her career, Chantel gave up her bright future decisively and chose her family, which


    was a great idea.


    Checking out the Weibo post, Gifford sighed silently. So, to her, he must seem like an old man who


    didn''t know the first thing about romance.


    This was outrageous! Airing details about her private life on the Inte? Making him look bad? She


    N?vel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive ? material.


    even imed he never said sweet words to her.


    Gifford was not convinced. For the rest of his life, whenever he had the chance, he would hold his wife


    and whisper in her ear, "I love you, my lovely wife. You are the woman I love most in my life. You are


    my star, and you are my light..."


    Chantel would always look at him with disgust and say something he didn''t like, such as, "Shocking an


    old man like you would even learn how to say those sweet words." But at the same time, he could see


    she was happy. There was a glint in her eyes that told him so.


    As time went by, every time before she could open her mouth to pour cold water on him, Gifford would


    kiss her lips until she couldn''t say those hurtful words anymore.


    Several yearster, when Gifford retired, he spent all his time with his wife.


    He stayed by her side while she did everything she wanted to do. asionally, she''d get a movie role,


    and he found something that he could do there too—as pyrotechnician and armorer. He''d handle the


    explosions, simted bullets, mes and smoke. He made sure all weapons were licensed, and taught


    the crew and cast how to use them safely. Wherever Chantel went, he''d be there.


    The cast and crew were always joking with him, asking him if he was afraid his wife would run away,


    because he always kept an eye on her.


    Gifford refused to admit it. "She asked me toe here because I''m good at what I do. I shoot things, I


    make them go boom. Might as well do that here and get paid for it. Besides, she doesn''t trust me


    around these beautiful actresses. Honey, it''s your break. Come here. I just picked up some fruit for you.


    Take a load off."


    His courteous look was not ascent as when he said that his wife was afraid he would run away


    with other women.


    Chantel pulled his ear and said, "You''re talking smack about me again, aren''t you?"


    "No. honey, you are so beautiful. How could I ever do that? Come on, let me feed you fruit like an


    empress."


    They had been showing off their love for each other like this the whole day. Everyone else got goose


    bumps, turned and left decisively. No one wanted to stick around for the public disys of affection.


    Looking at the man who was now ingratiating himself with his wife, probably no one would associate


    him with the valiant and battlewise prince charming of the past.


    Chantel wiped her hands with a wet tissue, "Well, I can do it myself!"


    "No way. I hate feeling useless." ''She couldn''t steal my job, '' he thought.


    Chantel had no choice but to read the script over again, and ept his loving hands feeding her the


    fruit.


    Back when she was on bedrest after the childbirth, he said that he would feed her fruits for the rest of


    her life and stay with her forever. He would follow her wherever she went.


    Now, he was really doing it.


    After a long time, when Gifford''s and Chantel''s hair turned grey and they lost all their teeth, as long as


    Chantel was there, Gifford would be around nearby.


    He would always apany her wherever she went.


    This was his way of showing his love for her—he kept herpany for the rest of his life.
