Chapter 264: Reunion (I)
Colin had returned to his homeland abruptly by boat without anyone expecting it, without prior phone calls or letters.
Upon arriving in Los Angeles, Colin took the envelope and found Virginia's residence in Los Angeles at the address she had used to communicate with her.
When he carried his luggage and rang the doorbell, it was already past seven o'clock and nearly eight o'clock.
It was Linda who came to open the door for him.
When she saw the tall Colin, Linda didn't recognize anyone immediately. Although the two families are world friends, Linda is not impressed by the largest Colin of the Warren family, not to mention that Colin has changed a lot after several years of military life.
The biggest change is the skin color, and the dark skin makes Linda immediately think of Bob next to Evan.
Because of this commonality, Linda quickly reacted and carefully looked at each other's appearances.
She knew that Colin had retired and would be returning to Los Angeles in the near future.
"Colin, is that right?" asked Linda, not so sure.
"Yes!" The other party nodded, looked at Linda, and asked in turn, "I guess this hair color is Linda of the Sprawl family, right?"
Linda nodded happily when she heard this, made a gesture to Colin to invite in, and said, "Welcome back, Brother Colin." ”
Then she shouted into the house, "Gina, come out and see who is coming?"
Linda led Colin into the living room, only to hear Virginia in the kitchen yell, "What's it called? ”
"You let people in? That must be Evan's guy. ”
"Right?"
Linda whispered to Colin, "Please be seated." ”
Then with a snickering smile on his face, he responded in the air: "Oh no!"
"Gina, if I were you, wipe off your hands and come to the living room to have a look, and I'll guarantee you'll scream when you see someone. ”
"What? Linda, what the hell are you doing?"
"If you don't help, forget it, do all these things that you don't have......"
Virginia seemed to take Linda's word for it, and her voice grew closer and closer to the living room, and after a while, she appeared in the living room wearing an apron.
"I'll see, if it's Evan, see if I don't teach me a lesson...... Hmmm......"
Virginia stopped suddenly, her mouth open, and looked at the man sitting on the couch in a daze.
"Colin?"
Virginia asked quietly with an expression of disbelief.
"Hey!" the man sat down on the couch and beckoned to Virginia with a smile, "Long time no see, my dear sister." ”
Virginia's eyes widened and she said, "Oh my God, it's really you. ”
Colin laughed, "That's right, it's me." Virginia, I didn't expect you to say in your letter that you were already in control of the kitchen?"
The reunion of the brother and sister after a long absence after many years should have been a touching thing, but the man's unusual greeting made the scene embarrassing for a while.
Linda, who stood to the side, covered her mouth with one hand, her eyes wandering from side to side between Colin and Virginia.
Attracted by Linda's movements, Elizabeth, who had just walked to the staircase, paused and opened her mouth wide in surprise after coming down from the second floor.
Virginia's face flushed with excitement, one hand clenched into a fist.
Colin is still so annoying, how can he make fun of people when they meet......
Virginia took a deep breath, and the emotion of the reunion was immediately diluted a lot, and after calming down, she took a few steps forward, stood about a meter in front of Colin, and counted down unceremoniously:
"Colin, what are you doing? Nina says you'll be back a long time ago, but there's been no news for months. I wonder if we're going to be worried?"
"Don't think you're a brother, I can't talk about you......"
"Evan and I have been waiting for you for so many days, and you actually found it yourself, so you won't notify us in advance. ”
"You think you've been a soldier for a few years and you're very powerful......"
Virginia was condescending, squirting Colin blood.
"Hey, is that your attitude towards my brother who I haven't seen for more than three years?" Colin looked at his sister, who was getting more and more excited, and leaned back subconsciously to avoid the splash of spit. However, he quickly realized that it was a futile exercise. Virginia didn't stop counting.
As a last resort, Colin had no choice but to stand up, spread his arms and said, "Generally speaking, isn't there a hug that will be reunited after a long absence." ”
As he spoke, Colin took Virginia in his arms.
Virginia was stunned for a moment, then hugged Colin with her backhand.
"Colin, welcome back. As the brother and sister embraced, Virginia said, "For the sake of me being the first one you looked for, I'll leave you alone for the time being, if you don't inform us of the time of your return." ”
Hearing this, Colin let go of the hug, looked at Virginia and said, "Well, I haven't seen you for a few years, my sister has finally grown up and dared to fight with her brother." ”
When Virginia heard this, she was about to have a good talk with her brother, but Linda finally seized the opportunity to interject and said, "Brother Colin, did you come directly from the port?
Colin replied, "No, I'm not hungry. ”
Linda said, "Really?"
At this time, Elizabeth also walked over from the staircase and looked at Colin intently, "Gina, don't you want to introduce me?"
Before Virginia could speak, Colin stepped past her and hurriedly said, "Hello, beautiful young lady, my name is Colin, and I am Virginia's brother, and it is my honor to meet her on this quiet night." ”
Colin said as he held out his hand to Elizabeth, as if ready to kiss her.
However, Elizabeth didn't give him a chance, but shook hands with him briefly, and at the same time introduced herself: "My name is Elizabeth, and I am Virginia's roommate. ”
"Nice to meet you. ”
"Well, Colin, I've heard Virginia talk about you, you're a Navy soldier, aren't you?"
"That's right. But the preparation said that it was 'once'. ”
"Oh, no wonder you're here. Well, mind if I ask you something about when you were a Navy soldier?"
"Of course not, there will always be some privileges for a beautiful young lady. ”
"Then let's sit down and talk......"
Looking at the two who were obviously meeting for the first time but chatting happily, Linda was dumbfounded, but Virginia looked surprised.
Virginia sighed helplessly and said to Linda, "Go get some fruit and snacks out, I'll call Evan." ”
After a while, the two daughters joined in the conversation between Colin and Elizabeth.
Just when Colin used exaggerated techniques to tell many details of military life and bluffed the three girls into a daze, the sound of the car moving from movement to silence and the door closing came from outside the house.
Linda, who had sensitive ears, immediately looked in the direction of the gate and said, "Evan has arrived." ”
