Dennis replied, “When I first joined the army, he was our leader. Whenever we made a mistake, he would come up with all sorts of ways to punish us. He created a kind of devilish training method that could only be described as inhumane. Let me tell you, don’t be fooled by his serious and gentle appearance; he has a dark side. You definitely don’t want to provoke him.”
“……” That sounds terrifying.
After finishing, Dennis leaned in a bit closer, pretending to be mysterious. “Let me tell you a secret about his first love.”
Upon hearing “first love,” Thelma’s heart tightened involuntarily.
“I’ve been feeling a bit restless lately, and since there’s plenty of space behind my house, we could go train a bit. You’ve just been promoted to lieutenant, and as your former boss, I have a responsibility to check how much you’ve regressed.”
As soon as Sam Noah finished speaking, Thelma clearly saw Dennis shudder.
He was obviously shaken by Sam Noah, reluctantly making a gesture as if to train his mouth.
However, Dennis’s words piqued Thelma’s curiosity, and she couldn’t help but ask, “What first love? Is it something you can’t talk about?”
Dennis’s eyes lit up immediately. “You see, this is what Sister-in-law asked me to talk about, so don’t blame me.” After saying that, he looked excited and somewhat gleeful. “Sister-in-law, you don’t know, ten years ago, when Noah had just retired from the military, he met a young girl on social media. At that time, he was injured and bedridden, unable to move his fingers, yet he still chatted with the girl every day. If she ever ignored him, he would be depressed for the whole day.”
Thelma: “……”
So this is how Mr. Sam was when he was in love? This was something Thelma had never considered before.
Sam Noah chuckled softly, then stood up and took off his clothes. “My hands are really restless today; I can’t just let it be.”
Dennis immediately looked alarmed, hurriedly shoving a couple of bites of food into his mouth, and quickly stood up, rushing to Thelma. “Sister-in-law, I just remembered I have something to do at home. I have to leave now.” He then turned to the child and said, “Tyler, Uncle will come to see you again in a few days.”
After saying this, he dashed out as if fleeing from some great disaster.
Thelma shot a glance at Sam Noah, her eyes filled with dissatisfaction. “Why scare the guests like that?” It wasn’t just because of that; it was also because of what Dennis had told her about his first love.
Thelma realized she was being overly concerned, even about his past, to the point where she suddenly felt bold enough to directly call him out.
Sam Noah sat down on the sofa and turned on the TV to watch the news. “He just talks too much. If you don’t stop him, he’ll go on forever.”
Is he really that concerned about someone revealing his first love?
Although it was a matter from his past, Thelma was very curious—curious about what kind of girl could make someone like him feel so depressed for an entire day just because he hadn’t heard from her.
She picked a chicken leg for Tyler and placed it in his bowl, casually asking, “Where is that first love of yours now?”
Sam Noah turned to look at her, his finger resting on his chin, his gaze narrowing slightly as if he was scrutinizing something about her. “You really don’t have any impression of her at all?”
Thelma: “?????”
Thelma was completely bewildered. What impression?
She saw Sam Noah let out a bitter laugh before saying, “I was ‘SilentStorm.'”
“‘SilentStorm’?” Thelma was a bit confused. “What SilentStorm?”
Sam Noah’s expression darkened. After a moment of silence, he said, “You once added a friend online, SilentStorm was my username.”
Online friend? SilentStorm?
In the depths of Thelma’s mind, a nearly forgotten memory was suddenly illuminated by a strong light, and the nearly sealed-off memories surged forth like a fountain.
Thelma remembered who SilentStorm was.
When she first entered high school, she got her own Whatsapp number, and then she casually searched and added her first online friend, “SilentStorm.”
