NOVEL NEXT Chapter 1157: Fulfilling the Promise
Joe Ga stood in front of the mirror, adjusting his suit. After several failed attempts to fix his tie, Grace placed baby George into a crib, squeezing him next to Igor, and then walked over to help Boss Joe with his tie…
As Grace walked over, Joe Ga started counting, and by the time he reached five, baby George in the crib started wailing loudly…
Seeing Grace roll her eyes, Joe Ga shrugged and shouted to Gino, who was watching the scene unfold, "Go separate those two kids…"
Gino, who was growing quickly but still lanky, looked awkward in a suit, resembling anything but a proper child.
Upon hearing Boss Joe's order, Gino shrugged at Adel, who was trying to help him make his tie look better, and said, "I think I was born to wear a military uniform. This stupid suit makes me look like an Eastern European street vendor from the '80s."
As he said this, Gino and Adel walked over to the crib, where bossy Igor was leaning over, rubbing against baby George with a drool-covered mouth gnawing at George's face…
Gino chuckled and picked up Igor, saying, "Igor is definitely leader material. He's very protective of his turf!"
With a sympathetic look, Adel picked up the frail baby George, wrinkling her nose as she kissed the baby's face and said, "Igor's just a rambunctious little rascal. Our little George will be fine…"
Joe Ga shrugged at Grace, who was continually rolling her eyes, and said, "Igor is still a kid; he just loves being around peers too much."
Saying this, Joe Ga heard his son's cries. Turning around, he saw the boy wriggling and babbling nonsense in Gino's arms, feeling a bit helpless. "But this kid really has too much energy…
Last night, when I was putting him to bed, he punched me twice and kicked me three times on the face, and by morning, I actually found him under the bed.
I think he'll definitely go places in the future!"
Grace, amazed at easygoing Joe Ga, said, "Then you better pray he doesn't break his neck before adulthood…"
Joe Ga nonchalantly said, "That's why I took Dragon Gecko's advice and only sleep with a mattress when he's around.
This kid even remembers to grab his little blanket when leaving the bed, so clever; he'll definitely succeed in the future!"
Saying this, Joe Ga spun around in his suit, glanced into the mirror, then turned around and took Igor from Gino's hands…
Seeing the boy bite into the suit's collar, leaving a wet tooth mark, Joe Ga sighed and whistled towards the door…
As soon as the whistle ended, two big brown dogs, tongues lolling, pulled an egg-shaped stroller into the room and circled around Boss Joe…
Seeing his son wildly gesturing and trying to get in the stroller, Joe Ga sighed, put him inside, and fastened the seatbelt around his waist.
As soon as the stroller's cover closed, the two big dogs, as if receiving a command, began to walk slowly…
Watching the two well-trained mastiffs proudly pull the stroller out of the room, they then nudged for treats in front of old Karman…
Joe Ga waved to Gino and the others to follow, then walked next to Karman, saying, "Igor should eat a bit more. I think if he gets chubbier, maybe he won't be so hyperactive…"
Karman looked at Joe Ga as if he was a fool and said, "Boss, health is priceless!
I bet at this rate, Igor will outrun me by the time he's 15…"
Joe Ga spread his hands and said, "When Igor turns 15, what's there to brag about outrunning a sixty-something old man?"
Karman gave Joe Ga a peculiar look and said, "Boss, by the time you're over forty, you might not even outrun a 60-year-old Bushman."
Hearing this, Joe Ga shook his head helplessly and said, "Saying my son will surpass me doesn't need a hint.
But I still doubt your earlier statement. Challenging a 60-year-old is foolish, but when you turn 50, I might give it a try.
You better be careful, my stamina's improved a lot lately, and Medic Bird says I run like Kipchoge…"
Karman bent down to fasten leashes on the two big dogs and, as he walked, said, "Boss, I suggest you don't give Medic Bird a raise; his professional standards are slipping, and doctors shouldn't lie…"
Joe Ga was left stunned in place, then looked at Dorian beside him and asked, "Did Dragon Gecko take the wrong meds?"
Dorian adjusted his suit slightly, and replied perfunctorily, "Boss, I think Dragon Gecko has a point. A Delta Force always flattering you isn't trustworthy, but I'm different…
I don't need to flatter. I'm confident you'll beat a 50-year-old Dragon Gecko in two years!"
Joe Ga looked at the earnest Dorian, and exclaimed, "Buddy, are you mocking me?
But I forgive you because I think at 30, beating a 50-year-old Dragon Gecko is a kind of victory!"
With that, Joe Ga playfully patted Gino, who was imitating his expressions and demeanor, on the head, and said, "It's about time, let's move along…
