The Burton family’s butler’s expression instantly turned ugly. Although the Burton family was a new noble who had just arrived in Buffalo in recent years, they were on par with the other large families. What was there to be arrogant about? The Burton family’s butler was furious and could not help but say, “Old Master Walton, do you know the popular war god, Alex Burton, who has just returned to Buffalo? That’s our Old Madam’s grandson!”
Under normal circumstances, when others heard this, they would immediately stand up. However, Old Master Walton only shook the newspaper and sneered. “How impressive!” Wasn’t it that war god who looked like the leader of the criminals? He knew how impressive he could be. Their Mia was still his daughter, and Mia might not even acknowledge him as her father!
The Burton family butler: ” See, this is a businessman. No matter how rich he is, it can’t change the shallowness in his bones!
The butler of the Burton family left angrily. Only then did Old Master Walton pick up the invitation and look around. He threw it aside with a cold expression. If Alex Burton hadn’t gotten someone to tell him in advance that he hoped that Mia could go to the Burton family’s Old Madam’s birthday banquet, he wouldn’t have gone!
Amelia obediently ran over and hugged Old Master Walton’s arm. “Grandpa, do you not want Mia to go?”
Old Master Walton pursed his lips. When Mia was quiet, she was always so sensible that it made one’s heart ache. He sighed and said, “Yes, Grandpa can’t bear you to.” She was like a delicate flower that was carefully protected. She did not want anyone to touch her or see her. However, when he thought about how his daughter Helena was protected by them in the past, she passed away regretfully without seeing the wonders of the world. Therefore, while he wanted to protect Amelia, he also wanted to bring all the prosperity of the world to Mia and let her see a wider and more exciting world.
Amelia leaned against Old Master Walton and asked after some thought,
“Grandpa, what does war god mean?”
Old Master Walton explained, “They’re heroes who are very good at fighting wars. They’re like guardians protecting our country from invasion by other countries. We can live in this peaceful country now because of the sacrifices of these heroes and their blood and sweat.” Although he thought that Alex was not a good person at first sight, it was undeniable that Alex was indeed respectable. His contributions could not be erased, and Old Master Walton would not hide this from Amelia.
Amelia asked, “So he’s a very good person?”
Old Master Walton lowered his head to look at Amelia and smiled. “At least he’s not a bad person.” He agreed to attend the Burton family’s birthday banquet. He also wanted to see how far Alex could go for Mia. If Alex wanted to merge with the Burton family or return to the Burton family and acknowledge the ancestors, he would definitely not allow Amelia to acknowledge Alex. Their little princess could not go to the Burton family to be bullied.
Amelia was thinking of another question. War? She asked in confusion, “We don’t fight wars now.” Although wars were often played on television, they were all acting.
Old Master Walton patted Amelia’s shoulder. “Wars in peaceful times are not the kind of wars you think they are. Ordinary people won’t be able to see such wars.” Peace now was built on battles. There was no such thing as peaceful times. It was just that someone was carrying the heavy burden for them.
Amelia didn’t quite understand, but in that case, her war god father seemed to be quite good? She wanted to see him a little. She wanted to see if he was as tall as in her dream. He would bump into the door frame when he entered. She also wanted to know if he would lift her up to his shoulders like the other children’s fathers. A hero father should be a good father, right? He shouldn’t be like her original father…
After the butler of the Burton family returned to the Burton residence, Old Madam happened to be drinking tea in the living room on the first floor. She asked, “How is it? Is the Walton family very happy to receive the invitation?” Other than families related to politics, very few people could make the Burton family take the initiative to send an invitation. Now, the Walton family was one of them.
The Burton family butler lowered his hand and said respectfully, “Old Madam, the invitation was sent over, but Old Master Walton didn’t seem too happy and chased me out.” After a pause, he added, “Perhaps they were angry because we didn’t see that little girl the day before yesterday. After all, it’s rumored that the Walton family dotes on that little girl..”
