Chapter 4 In the Past

After a long time, they recovered from their shock.

And then they raised their hands.

A round of applause broke out.

Calvin had accepted flowers and applause thousands of times, but this was the first time he got that in the Flynn family, which made him a little uncomfortable.

"There is no need to make such a fuss. I have not been a general for many years," Calvin slowly returned to his seat and said.

He hated Bryce to the core. He wanted to keep a low profile, but his identity was exposed after this matter. How could he keep a low profile in the future?

Three years ago, when his strength reached the highest level, he chose to retire and live a normal life. It was not because he was going to be a matrilocal son-in-law, but for another reason that he could not say.

However, when he returned to Norley with honor, and James looked for him to marry into the Flynn family, he agreed without hesitation.

It was not because he coveted the Flynn family's wealth, but because he wanted to repay Briley and James.

He would never forget the night when it was raining heavily more than a decade ago.

That night, he and his mother were tramps on the street, and they had no place to live but live under the overpass. His mother had a high fever and was going to die.

He was penniless and could only run off the roadside to stop passing vehicles, begging them to give him some money to send his mother to the hospital.

However, even if he was standing in the rain and kept pleading, no one sympathized with him, none of them willing to lend a helping hand.

At his most helpless and desperate moment, a Bentley stopped.

A girl about his age walked out of the car holding an umbrella and asked about the situation, and then asked her grandfather to send Calvin鈥檚 mother to the hospital.

Not only did her grandfather agree, he even gave her a high compliment.

The kind-hearted girl was Briley.

That night, Briley and her grandfather James not only sent his mother to the hospital, but also paid all the medical fees, and also gave him a bunch of money to take care of his mother.

To James and Briley, it was just a small act of kindness, but to Calvin and his mother, their lives were saved.

As the saying went, "A drop of water in need, shall be returned with a spring in deed," so let alone a life-saving grace?

For their kindness, Calvin would do everything.

Moreover, that night a decade ago, the young Calvin had fallen in love with Briley, the beautiful girl, at first sight. However, he knew that his status was low and did not dare to expect too much.

Later, he joined the army and made great achievements. At a young age, he had been conferred the title of the First General of Gloriland, creating a legend in the military.

Four years ago, a huge crisis appeared in the Flynn family. At that time, Calvin had great power. With several words, he helped the Flynn family overcome the crisis.

Only James knew about this matter. Of course, James knew that the reason Calvin helped the Flynn family was that he had once helped Calvin and his mother.

When Calvin was living a normal life and had no power, James decided to betroth his most beloved granddaughter to Calvin.

Because James had a long-term vision, he anticipated that Calvin, a rare talent in the world, would be valued again sooner or later, and his future would be brilliant.

However, many years had passed when Briley and Calvin met again. Briley could hardly recognize Calvin. She didn't expect that her husband would be the boy she had helped in the past.

She had helped so many people, and Calvin was just one of them.

Calvin also didn't tell Briley about this. After being part of the Flynn family, he didn't accomplish anything. It wasn't that he couldn't do something great, but he didn't bother to do that.

How could someone like him, who once commanded thousands of soldiers and horses, go to work like an ordinary person to do those insignificant things? Was he going to be a security guard?

He felt that staying at home to take good care of Briley was more meaningful!

At the same time, he was waiting for a chance to stage a comeback.

Just as Calvin was lost in his memories, a voice sounded, "Good acting! I will give you full marks! You deserve the applause!"

Calvin was stunned and wondered, "What is happening?"
