A Bumpy Road to Power

Chapter 145: Broken Cannons


The two were entangled intimately for a while.

Dirk Carter thought it was over.

Unexpectedly, Eleanor Lewis, with her athlete's strength, pushed Dirk directly onto the bed.

Dirk struggled.

Eleanor shouted, "Dad!"

With that shout.

Dirk had no choice but to surrender, allowing Eleanor to strip his clothes off.

In no time.

Eleanor also took off her clothes.

Impatiently, she mounted him, galloping forward.

Perhaps having the experience from the first time, or maybe because the pain was gone this time.

Eleanor kept moving her body, wrapping herself around Dirk as she charged.

If at first Dirk hadn't gotten into the mood properly.

As desire was stirred.

The fire within him gradually ignited.

It didn't matter to him whose house they were in.

He flipped over, pressing Eleanor underneath him, and seeing her eyes filled with longing, Dirk plunged forward with reckless abandon...

Eleanor was still sensible.

Though the pleasure in her head made her want to shout out loud.

She still covered her mouth with her hand.

Even so, the sounds of moaning from her throat weren't quiet.

Soon.

An hour passed.

The two were drenched in sweat.

Even though Eleanor nearly fainted several times, she still "greedily" demanded more...

Suddenly.

There was a knock at the door.

The two startled.

Quickly stopped moving.

"Eleanor, Dirk, dinner's ready, you can come out and eat."

It was Donal Lewis's voice.

Eleanor responded, "Okay, dad, we'll be done in a moment."

"Oh, then hurry, the food will get cold soon."

With that, the two held their breath for about ten seconds.

Making sure Donal Lewis was no longer at the door.

Eleanor hugged Dirk, whispering, "Give it to me, give it all to me!"

With that encouragement.

Dirk also let loose, biting his teeth as he charged fiercely, releasing all his essence.

What a battle.

The two barely cared about gasping for breath or being drenched in sweat.

Quickly put on their clothes and went out.

In the kitchen, Donal Lewis finished cooking the last dish, took off his apron, and came out.

"Eat up, it's nothing fancy, just bear with it,"

Donal pointed to the five dishes on the table and said.

I must say, these five dishes looked and smelled wonderful, clearly prepared to a high standard.

Dirk picked up a piece of sweet and sour ribs, put it in his mouth, and after savoring it, gave a thumbs up, saying, "Boss, it's delicious! I had no idea you could cook like this."

"Hehe, Eleanor's mom passed early. I raised her by myself. Later, she became an athlete and needed nutrition. I had no choice but to learn how to cook myself."

Donal said with a bit of pride.

After speaking.

He picked up a rib, about to put it in Eleanor's bowl.

Then he frowned and asked, "Eleanor, what's the matter? Why is there sweat on your forehead?"

With this question.

Dirk felt his heart jump to his throat.

Eleanor wiped her face with her sleeve, complaining a bit, "It's all Dirk's fault."

Huh?

Dirk's heart, which was in his throat, threatened to leap out of his mouth.

"What's Dirk's fault?"

Donal asked.

Eleanor pouted and said, "He refuses to let me win in chess, it made me so anxious. As a man, shouldn't he know how to yield?"

"Hahaha..."

Donal laughed heartily after hearing that.

Dirk finally felt his heart settle back in place.

He cooperatively said, "But in chess, there's winning and losing. How could there be yielding? Besides, you insisted on playing. I said no, but you wouldn't listen and even threatened to complain to the boss."

"But you didn't have to attack so fiercely! My two cannons were wrecked, and you even made the general's blood rush!"

Eleanor said provocatively.

Cannons?

Two cannons?

Dirk instantly understood.

If two cannons were rabbits, then where the general was must be...

This Eleanor, she certainly had her ways.

Donal laughed and said, "Can the general's blood rush? I'm getting old, I can't quite understand you youngsters' metaphors."

This topic couldn't continue.

Dirk quickly changed the subject, asking, "Boss, there's something I've been holding in for a long time. I've wanted to ask my godfather several times why he and godmother divorced."

"You don't know about it?"

Donal asked, somewhat surprised.

Dirk shook his head and said, "I really don't know. In my godfather's house, there's not a single photo of my godmother or their daughter. Once, I asked about it and got scolded by my godfather who said I was meddling in adult affairs, so I never dared to ask again."

Donal sighed.

He set down his chopsticks and said, "Sometimes, feelings can't withstand reality."

Dylan Tate's family background was ordinary.

He was born into a very common peasant family.

Since he had two older brothers, his biological parents felt they couldn't afford to raise him, so they exchanged him for a sack of rice.

His adoptive father was an honest farmer.

His adoptive mother was ill and couldn't have children.

So, they gathered a sack of rice to adopt Dylan Tate.

Despite the poor family conditions.

Dylan Tate was determined.

Up until middle school, he was the top of his class.

He could have attended high school.

Unfortunately, there was no high school in their village, and attending one meant going to the county. His family couldn't afford the tuition and living expenses, so Dylan chose a tuition-free vocational school.

After graduating from vocational school.

He joined the army.

After serving two years as a volunteer, he was assigned to a local position, becoming a village cadre.

Through his efforts.

Dylan Tate moved from the village to the town.

At that time, he was in his twenties.

It was then that he met Darlene Fisher, a teacher volunteering at a local elementary school, who would later become Dylan Tate's wife.

Bayberry Town was very poor back then.

The school didn't even have decent desks, let alone teachers.

Despite this, Darlene, fresh out of university, voluntarily chose to teach at the Bayberry Town elementary school for two years.

Darlene was from the provincial capital.

Her family was well off.

In such circumstances, there was a significant disparity between their statuses, but it was due to a heavy rainstorm that they met.

It was an unexpected downpour.

At that time, Darlene had just begun her teaching at Bayberry Town elementary.

Her temporary dormitory collapsed, trapping Darlene inside.

As a town official, Dylan went to inspect the school because he was worried, discovered the danger, and rushed in to save Darlene from the ruins.

Through this chance event, they got to know each other.

Soon after, Darlene was attracted to Dylan's simplicity, diligence, and sincerity, and she fell in love with him.

What happened next was like the plot of many novels.

Darlene's parents didn't allow her to be with someone of Dylan's low status and tried to prevent them from being together. But Darlene, for the sake of love, gave up on family ties and insisted on being with him.

They later had a daughter, and it was due to her birth that their once closely-knit hearts were torn apart.

When their daughter was two, she was diagnosed with a rare illness.

Treating this illness required a lot of money, and Darlene hoped to return to her family for help, but Dylan refused. According to him, Darlene's parents looked down on him, and he wouldn't go back no matter what.
