Husband Returns home has a Supreme God

Chapter 11

At that precise moment, upon hearing Master Lawrence's harsh declaration about removing Alex from consideration entirely, something remarkable happened among the assembled military leaders. Henry King, the legendary King of War, visibly straightened his shoulders and puffed out his chest with unmistakable pride.

Lewis Brown followed suit immediately, his posture becoming more confident and assertive.

All the other elite commanders present began displaying the same behavior - standing taller, squaring their shoulders, and wearing expressions of barely concealed satisfaction.

They were all literally feeling a surge of triumphant pride coursing through their veins. The good-for-nothing Alex wasn't anywhere to be seen during this critical moment.

That worthless excuse for a husband had once again proven his complete unreliability when his family needed him most. With Alex completely out of the picture, they had absolutely nothing to worry about regarding competition for Rose's affections. The field was now wide open for any of them to step forward and claim the position that Alex had so pathetically abandoned.

Henry King's eyes gleamed with satisfaction as he glanced around at his fellow men, all of them sharing the same unspoken thought.

This was their golden opportunity to prove their worth to Rose Lawrence and show her what a real man looked like in times of crisis.

Lewis Brown couldn't help but smile slightly as he adjusted his uniform jacket, making sure his medals and insignia were prominently displayed.

He had been waiting for years for a chance like this to demonstrate his superiority over that disappeared coward.

The other head commanders exchanged meaningful looks with each other, each one calculating his own chances of winning Rose's heart now that the biggest obstacle had conveniently removed himself from the equation.

But at that exact same moment, hearing her father's cold dismissal of Alex, Rose felt her jaw muscles tighten involuntarily with a complex mixture of emotions she couldn't fully understand or control.

Yes, she was undeniably angry and disappointed that Alex had seemingly vanished again when she desperately needed his support. She really did want to see him here beside her, fighting to help save their daughter.

She really wanted to give Alex at least this one opportunity to prove himself, to show that he had truly changed and could be the father and husband their family deserved.

Deep in her heart, she knew that little Lilly would definitely want to see her daddy during this terrifying ordeal.

Their daughter had always been closer to Alex than to anyone else, and his presence would provide the comfort and security that only a father could give. But now Alex was nowhere to be found when it mattered most.

Rose took a deep, steadying breath as she fought to regain control of her swirling emotions. She absolutely refused to allow this devastating situation to completely deteriorate her mental state or weigh her down with paralyzing despair.

She had been surviving as a single mother dealing with heartbreak and abandonment for five long years now, and she had learned how to be strong even when everything seemed hopeless.

The painful truth was that she literally didn't know if she had made another terrible mistake by choosing to trust Alex again after all this time.

Maybe her parents and everyone else had been right all along about him being unreliable and worthless. Maybe she had allowed her heart to overrule her better judgment once again, setting herself up for the same crushing disappointment she had experienced five years ago.

But regardless of her personal feelings about Alex and his mysterious disappearance, she absolutely had no regrets about the decision to come here and fight for her daughter's life.

Her maternal instincts were crystal clear on this matter - Lilly's safety and wellbeing were her utmost priority above everything else in the world.

Nothing else mattered compared to getting her precious five-year-old daughter out of that monster-infested area alive and unharmed.

Rose straightened her shoulders and looked directly at each of the brave military leaders who had rushed here to support her during this nightmare.

Her voice carried genuine warmth and gratitude despite the terrible circumstances.

“I want to thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart for what you have done by putting your own lives on the line just because of my daughter. You didn't have to come here and risk everything for us, but you chose to stand beside me anyway. I am truly, deeply grateful for your courage and loyalty.”

Henry King nodded solemnly, his battle-scarred face showing quiet determination.

Lewis Brown stepped forward slightly, his hand resting on his weapon as he prepared for whatever dangers awaited them inside the evacuation zone.

The other commanders all displayed similar expressions of resolve and readiness.

But just as Rose finished expressing her heartfelt appreciation, Master Lawrence's voice cut through the moment with bitter venom and contempt.

“Unlike that good-for-nothing, worthless fool who always wants to reap the benefits where he never planted any seeds or did any of the actual work.”
