Chapter 454: Another Joel
"Dominic has slept," said Alicia, "and I'm so tired of how a child has so much energy." ”
And he said, "Mom, why are you here, I have been looking for you just now." ”
Lisa smiled: "I'll pour you a cup of flower tea." ”
Alicia sat down next to Ebenezer: "What are you talking about?"
"It's the same things that used to happen to Grandpa Joel. Ebenezer said.
Alicia didn't look very interested, and Joel looked at her daughter with a little affection.
His original wife died early, and he has been single for so many years, living with his daughter.
After coming to country A, he met Lisa, and the two hit it off at first sight, and after discussing with Alicia and his wife, Joel and Lisa remarried.
Now a family of four, no, five, about six, lives peacefully and happily in country A.
Joel has to keep his current happy life no matter what: "I think it's better to avoid Yunke. ”
Liu Qianqian looked at Joel, and Joel took a breath of the flower tea poured by his wife: "In the final analysis, our family has nothing to do with theirs, and since my grandfather changed his name, it has not been a family." ”
Liu Qianqian was a little puzzled, didn't she say these words just now?
They were already talking about Maria, and before Alicia came in, Joel seemed to be about to say something: "Joel......"
"Would you like a cup of flower tea too?" Joel interrupted her and gave her a look, and Liu Qianqian's heart suddenly realized something.
"Oh, okay, I didn't drink tea when I was in country E before, and I feel like I'm still at a loss. ”
Lisa poured her tea, a flower tea brewed with roses and citrus, and Liu Qianqian drank a little, fragrant.
From the time Alicia entered the study, Joel never mentioned Mary again.
The topic gradually turned to the new drama that Ebenezer was filming, and Alicia was also very interested, she had hardly made much drama since Dominic was left, but Liu Qianqian remembered Alicia's acting skills, and for a while she didn't know whether it was a pity or a joy for Ebenezer.
It seems that Joel persuaded Alicia that now she is not as free as she did when she was in country E, if she wants to be an actress, she can do it well, she can sign up for a class, do it as a serious career, if you don't want to do it, then don't do it.
Alicia seemed to have thought about it carefully, and finally thought that it would be better to be a housewife, with a father and husband to support her, and the family also hired a maid to do the housework every week, she only had to take care of Dominic, and the rest of the time she could drink tea and chat with the other ladies.
It seems that she has started to write now, and Alicia was happy when she mentioned this topic, so she deliberately took her own manuscript and read it aloud to everyone.
Liu Qianqian listened while drinking flower tea, and felt that the story was written quite well, this may be the afternoon of the E country, drink some flower tea, read aloud the poetry collection, she had seen it on TV before.
Although it is now in country A, it is not the afternoon.
I was almost done, I drank a lot of tea, Liu Qianqian went to the bathroom three times, and Lisa estimated that it was too late, so she said, "Alicia, rest early, Liu, you too." ”
Joel said, "It's past eleven o'clock, Alicia, go to bed." ”
Alicia nodded and glanced at Ebenezer, meaning to go back to the room with her husband, Ebenezer doted on his wife, plus it was really late: "Liu, how are you going back?"
Joel said, "Why don't you just rest at home?"
Du Xiao said: "We brought the driver over, just drive back." ”
Ebenezer said, "Then I'll send Alicia back to her room first." ”
After Liu Qianqian said goodbye to Alicia, she was sent to the entrance by Joel and Lisa, she glanced at the back room, turned her head and asked Joel, "Did you mean to say anything when you mentioned Maria just now?"
Joel nodded: "But Alicia hasn't known about this, and I don't want her to know." ”
Liu Qianqian guessed the same, Joel said: "It's not convenient to say it here now, let's tell you next time." ”
He added: "Actually, it's not a big deal." ”
Lisa said, "I don't think it's okay to tell Alicia. ”
Joel sighed, "It doesn't matter. ”
"It was a good opportunity. ”
"Yes, but it has nothing to do with Alicia. ”
Liu Qianqian was confused: "What the hell is going on?"
Joel was just about to speak, when he heard the door open from behind, and the room lit up, and Ebenezer poked his head out: "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm going to leave soon. Joel said, "Sleep first." ”
Then he said to Liu Qianqian: "Then I'll send you to the garage." ”
Joel followed Du Xiao and Liu Qianqian to the courtyard, Lisa closed the door intimately, and Joel said, "Maria...... It's a member of the Ye family. ”
Liu Qianqian was stunned: "What? whose blood?"
Joel said, "My brother's. ”
Du Xiao said: "Ah. ”
"It seems that you know," said Joel, "that Mr. Du has investigated the matter so completely, I guess he investigated me in the first place." ”
"Definitely. Du Xiao said.
It's just that because it's not important, Du Xiao forgot about it.
Liu Qianqian asked, "What's going on?"
Du Xiao said: "Joel once had a twin brother. ”
Twins are almost all hereditary, Joel's grandfather is a twin, although his father is not, but by his generation they are still identical twin brothers.
Joel said: "My brother's name is Dan, and sadly, he passed away many years ago. ”
Liu Qianqian immediately understood: "In other words, Maria is Dan's bloodline?"
After finishing speaking, she felt that something was wrong: "No, Maria is only a teenager, and Alicia is already in her twenties, if Dan died after Maria was born, Alicia would not know about Maria, and you don't have to hide it from her." ”
"We didn't hide it from her," Joel smiled wryly, "we just didn't tell her, and the point is that there was no need to tell her that I once had a brother who died before Alicia was born." ”
Joel said with a little nostalgia: "It's been a long time since I've said Dan's name, he was only twenty years old when he died, and we were still in college. ”
Du Xiao said: "I remember it was an accident, a mourning. ”
"Yes, he went out riding a motorcycle with a friend and had an accident," Joel sighed, "At the age of eighteen, the two of us used to donate Jingzi as a congratulatory on our eighteen-year-old adulthood. So after Dan died, I thought about these jingzi, and I took them back from the hospital and deposited them again with the jingzi bank. ”
If you donate, any woman who needs a child will probably use it.
