Chapter 1836: Chapter 1836: Reunion
Seeing the two women standing beside Lanni Barnes, Wyatt Barnes’ pupils contracted, and his body trembled violently due to excitement.
Christina Lee, his mother!
Jovie Lee, his fiancée!
These two women were indeed two of the most important women in his life.
"Hmm?"
However, Wyatt Barnes quickly noticed that whether it was his mother ’Christina Lee’, or his fiancée ’Jovie Lee’, their gazes towards him revealed a hint of hesitation, lacking the ecstasy of a reunion after being apart for so long.
"I almost forgot... I haven’t turned back to my true appearance yet."
Meanwhile, Wyatt Barnes remembered that he currently had a disguised face, not his original appearance.
This also explained why his mother and fiancée were hesitating.
Swish!
Without any hesitation, Wyatt Barnes moved, and the next moment, he seemed to transform into a gust of wind, appearing before Lanni Barnes and the other three.
When Wyatt Barnes stood still again, the muscles on his face began to tremble until completely calm, finally returning to his true appearance.
"Mother!"
After returning to his true appearance, Wyatt Barnes knelt before Christina Lee with a thud, showing a look of remorse.
As a son, not only did he fail to stay by his parents’ side, but also had been missing for years, which was unfilial!
Of course, only before Christina Lee, his mother, would he feel this guilt.
Because Christina Lee had sacrificed so much for him, which was far more than what the father who showed up later, ’Lanni Barnes’, could compare.
"Wyatt... Wyatt! My Wyatt... am I dreaming?"
Seeing Wyatt Barnes showing his true face, the hesitation in Christina Lee’s eyes vanished, replaced by excitement.
She immediately helped Wyatt Barnes up, extending both arms to tightly embrace him, not letting go for a long time.
As if fearing that if she loosened her hold, her son would leave her again.
At some point, two clear streams of tears fell from Christina Lee’s face, tears of excitement.
"Mother, you’re not dreaming, it’s me!"
Wyatt Barnes’ eyes also became wet, as he tightly embraced his mother, feeling an unprecedented peace within.
His mother’s embrace felt like a harbor, calming his heart in an instant.
"You rascal..."
A familiar and pleasant voice came, pulling Wyatt Barnes back to reality.
At some point, there was now someone beside him, his fiancée, Jovie Lee!
Although Christina Lee was reluctant to release her son, she knew that the upcoming time should belong to the young couple.
So, she decisively let go of Wyatt Barnes, and then signaled Lanni Barnes with her eyes, prompting him to hold the little boy and walk out of the main hall with her.
Seeing this, Elder Honorston naturally followed them out.
The central hall suddenly transformed into a world for Wyatt Barnes and Jovie Lee alone.
Outside the hall, the little boy in Lanni Barnes’ arms blinked his big eyes and asked Christina Lee, "Grandma... is he the ’dad’ that mom often mentions, the really amazing one?"
"That’s right! Kalel, he’s your dad... When he comes out, remember to call him ’dad’, okay?"
Christina Lee reached out to gently stroke the little boy’s head and said with a smile.
The little boy nodded, "Okay, I’ll listen to Grandma."
"That kid... doesn’t even greet me, his father, but is already eager to talk love with Jovie. Truly an unfilial son!"
Lanni Barnes laughed and scolded, his tone filled with a touch of jealousy.
"Isn’t it because you left for so many years back then... If it wasn’t for that, how could Wyatt treat you like this?"
Christina Lee replied, not in the best mood.
Upon hearing this, Lanni Barnes closed his mouth, because he knew that if the conversation continued, he would undoubtedly be at fault.
He also knew he was at fault, after all, back then, he left for so many years without any news.
He had just said it casually, and did not really have any feelings of displeasure.
"Master Householder, the Junior House Master’s disguise technique is truly remarkable!"
Seeing that Lanni Barnes and his wife had stopped talking, Asa Honorston finally spoke, his tone filled with admiration.
"Indeed. Even my Divine Sense couldn’t detect his disguise... I don’t know where he learned such a profound disguise technique!"
Lanni Barnes deeply agreed with Asa Honorston’s words.
Although he was a formidable figure in the Lower Domain of the Martial Dao Sacred Land, he had never seen or heard of such a disguise technique.
"It seems, over the years, Wyatt must have had quite a few extraordinary encounters."
"The Junior House Master, despite his young age, has already achieved the pinnacle of the Great Saint Realm. Truly impressive!"
Asa Honorston exclaimed.
"Pinnacle of the Great Saint Realm?"
Upon hearing Asa Honorston’s words, Lanni Barnes shook his head, his expression becoming solemn, showing a look of heavy contemplation.
If he remembered correctly, the ’Five-Year Agreement’ he had with the Dragonsmith Clan would expire in ten months.
At that time, his son would battle the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon from the Dragonsmith Clan... If victorious, he would earn the opportunity to enter the ’Dragon Washing Pool’ of the clan!
These arrangements were made according to the instructions of an elder, Destiny.
However, now there were only ten months left until the Five-Year Agreement, and his son was just at the pinnacle of the Great Saint Realm.
Wanting to defeat the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon ’Emperor End’ in ten months is nothing short of a pipe dream!
Even if that Emperor End hasn’t progressed in five years, he’s still at the peak of the ’Human Saint Realm’.
Peak of the Great Saint Realm, and in ten months, face the peak of the Human Saint Realm?
Moreover, after five years, the latter might have already made another breakthrough to the ’Earth Saint Realm’!
"Wyatt... is it possible for you to win?"
If it were before reuniting with his son ’Wyatt Barnes’, due to trust in the Elder Destiny, Lanni Barnes wouldn’t have such doubts.
But now, after reuniting with his son and knowing he is merely at the ’peak of the Great Saint Realm’, he can’t help but have these doubts arise in his subconscious.
Inside the grand hall, Wyatt Barnes and Jovie Lee embraced each other, neither saying a word, just holding each other quietly.
At this moment, the two seemed to merge into one, inseparable.
Embracing Jovie Lee, Wyatt Barnes wished this moment could last forever.
No troubles, no worries.
Just quietly holding the person he loves until the end of time, until the seas run dry and the rocks crumble.
But he also knew this was destined to be nothing but a luxury.
He still had many things that must be done!
On the other hand, as Jovie Lee embraced Wyatt Barnes, her feelings were similar to his.
She wished she could hold her man like this forever, thinking about nothing, just holding each other quietly until the end of time.
Finally, about half an hour later, it was Wyatt Barnes who spoke first, "Jovie... the boy your father is holding, is he our child?"
"Yes."
Jovie Lee nodded with a smile, "His name is ’Kalel’, and he is our son."
"Kalel?"
Upon hearing his son’s name, Wyatt Barnes’s heart couldn’t help but tremble, and he tightened his hold on Jovie Lee.
He naturally guessed the meaning behind his son’s name.
"If Sister Keer and her child are safe, her child would also be about the same age as Kalel... just don’t know if it’s a boy or a girl."
Mentioning ’Keer’, Jovie Lee’s voice trembled slightly. She had long regarded that kind-hearted woman as her sister.
"They will definitely be safe... definitely!"
Wyatt Barnes said with a flash of determination in his eyes.
He didn’t want to, nor could he allow anything to happen to his woman and child!
This time, after coming to the Mansion of Azure Clouds and reuniting with his family, one of his wishes in the Lower Domain was fulfilled.
It’s also time to head to the Upper Domain to find Keer!
After some tender moments with Jovie Lee, Jovie gently pushed Wyatt Barnes away, "Rascal... don’t you think you should go say hello to your father? I know you have always minded him leaving you and your mother for all those years, but he is still your father! Moreover, these past years, he’s been so good to Kalel that I, as his mother, feel ashamed in comparison."
"I know... he’s probably trying to compensate you, giving Kalel the love he couldn’t give you back then."
Jovie Lee said softly.
She’s a smart woman who knows that in matters like this, she can only give advice, not make decisions for her man.
"Okay."
Wyatt Barnes nodded, then walked out of the grand hall with Jovie Lee.
"Father, during this time, Jovie and Kalel have been a bother to you."
Wyatt Barnes looked at Lanni Barnes and said.
"Wyatt, remember, I am your father. For me, your matters are never a bother... Besides, Jovie is my daughter-in-law, and Kalel is my grandson, taking care of them is what I should do!"
Lanni Barnes shook his head and said.
"It’s just, I really didn’t expect... father, you would be the House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds."
This was something Wyatt Barnes couldn’t easily come to terms with.
"This matter, it’s quite an ironic twist of fate... if you want to hear it, I’ll tell you sometime. To become House Master of the Mansion of Azure Clouds, I owe it to you."
Lanni Barnes gave Wyatt Barnes a deep look and said.
"Me?"
Wyatt Barnes was puzzled, entirely unsure what his father meant.
"No rush on this, I’ll tell you later."
Lanni Barnes shook his head, then looked at the little boy in his arms and smiled, "Kalel, did you forget what grandma just told you?"
Adonis Barnes looked at Wyatt Barnes with his bright eyes, not afraid of strangers, instead sizing him up for a while before saying, "Are you my dad? The one mom said is very powerful?"
Very powerful dad?
Hearing this, everyone, including Wyatt Barnes, laughed.
Wyatt Barnes took Adonis Barnes into his arms and smiled, "That’s right! I am your very powerful dad... your name is ’Kalel’, right?"
"My name is ’Adonis Barnes’! Kalel is just my nickname."
Adonis Barnes looked at Wyatt Barnes, his little face suddenly becoming solemn as he corrected him seriously.
His serious manner made Wyatt Barnes laugh, filling his heart with warmth... this feeling was really nice.
I, Wyatt Barnes, have a son now!
From now on, in this world, there was one more person he had to protect with his life.
