Chapter 29 Preparations
It wasn't until the next day that Evan finally waited for a call from Kairol before he lost his patience. After Evan begged on the phone, Cairol agreed to make one for him.
That afternoon, Karl paid a visit to the residence. Nominally, there was a document for Evan to sign, but in fact he was called over by Carl.
Linda was there when Carl entered and exited the mansion. Linda knew this unusually good-looking "brother", and the two who met unexpectedly chatted a few words.
After Carl left, Linda frowned and looked puzzled - Carl only had a briefcase in his hand when he came, why did he still have a box in his arms when he left?
That night, Linda did not stay overnight at the residence, but stayed with her parents.
The next day was Christmas Eve.
"Hmm, Perfect!"
Evan stood in the living room with his arms folded, looking at the Christmas tree he had brought back from the tree garden, and nodded with satisfaction.
In the past, this work was done by the eldest brother Colin, but now he is the only male laborer in the family, and he doesn't do it.
Virginia, who was decorating the Christmas tree, saw him standing there with a smug face, and said angrily: "Don't stand stupidly, come and help." ”
She pointed to the top of the tree and said, "You are the tallest, put this star on it!"
"OK, leave it to me!"
The stars are golden, the size of a plate, pentagonal, and glow in the sun, and are estimated to look just as good in the light at night.
The Christmas tree was more than two meters high, and Evan stood on a stool, tiptoeing to install the star.
"It's beautiful!"
After all the decorations were finished, looking at the finished Christmas tree, Virginia clasped her hands together and placed them on her chest, and couldn't help but admire.
At this time, the younger siblings who had gone out shopping with Nina returned.
Dora and Dorothy walked at the front with a basket on their own. As soon as she entered the living room and saw the beautiful Christmas tree, Dora let out a scream of excitement, and she raised her calves to run, but was pulled by the basket.
"Dorothy, put it down first!"
Dorothy did so without even thinking about it.
The two of them put the basket on the ground and looked at the Christmas tree.
Dora watched and asked her two older siblings, "Evan, Virginia, are your Christmas presents ready, and when are you going to put them under the Christmas tree?"
Robert, who came in from behind, saw the basket placed at the door of the living room, and called out to Nina, who was at the back, "Mum?"
"What's the matter?" Hearing Robert call herself brainlessly, Nina subconsciously asked, and when she also walked into the living room, she immediately understood what Robert wanted to say. Nina raised her eyebrows and yelled at the two little ones gathered around the Christmas tree, "Dora, Dorothy, do things from beginning to end, don't come here quickly." ”
Dorothy knew she was wrong, and as soon as Nina said that, she lowered her head and walked towards the basket. Dora pouted, reluctantly.
Seeing this, Evan slapped his big hand on Dora's head. Then, under Dora's angry gaze, Evan strode to the basket and whispered to Dorothy, "Dorothy, leave this to me, you go play." ”
Dorothy immediately showed a look of surprise, then smiled sweetly at Evan and said, "Evan, thank you!
was sweetly "confessed" by his sister, Evan haha, and carried the basket to the kitchen to hand it to Nina.
The basket was full of food, no wonder it was Sister Dora.
Although Evan mentioned it, Nina didn't say anything, just said to him: "Evan, don't spoil them too much!"
Evan smiled, "Nina, today is Christmas Eve, it's a special day. ”
"Relax a little, nothing bad. ”
Coming out of the kitchen, Evan heard the sound of a piano, the melody familiar.
He walked towards the piano room, and halfway through, Dorothy's singing accompanied the piano.
“Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh,
Hey Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh……”
The twins play and sing "Jingle Bells", a classic Christmas song. The bright melody, joyful scenes, and touching children's voices made Evan and Virginia, who were in the audience, can't help but beat along with the melody and sing together.
It's a pity that Robert, who is still in the voice change period, can't join the chorus.
The four siblings sang together, but they still felt unfinished, and Dora took the opportunity to play the beginning again.
“Jingle bells, jingle bells Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh,
Single dog,single dog single all the way……”
Singing and singing, everyone suddenly felt that something was wrong. After hearing the lyrics, Dora stopped her hand and looked at Evan angrily.
"Evan, you're making trouble again!"
Evan, who had an "itchy" mouth for a while, scratched his head in embarrassment and smiled.
Evan was then expelled en masse from the piano room.
After lunch, everyone began to prepare for the Christmas dinner in the evening.
The first is to change into the dress that I brought back the other day.
Needless to say, Evan and Robert, two men, naturally wore suits. The tailor-made clothes fit perfectly, which just right to enhance the image of the two, make Evan look more handsome and mature, and make Robert look more sunny.
After talking about the men, let's talk about the ladies.
Dora and Dorothy both wore lace princess dresses with princess tiaras and crystal earrings. If it weren't for the fact that the two of them had different colors of gloves, Dora was black and Dorothy was pink, the two were almost identical, and at first glance I thought it was a hallucination!
Virginia's dress is also a princess dress, but her style is more mature, with large areas of shoulders and collarbones exposed, and the overall color tone is white with a touch of pink. Evan believed that Virginia would make a lot of people fall in front of her at the dinner.
Finally, Nina, as the mother of many princesses, her dress is a more serious and conservative black crewneck dress, but she is still attractive when she maintains her figure well.
After taking care of her image, Nina began to explain to the children the precautions at the dinner party.
Although it was not the first time for Evan and the others to attend a formal banquet, and Nina had told them before, she still had to take the trouble to repeat it.
Because it's about the face of the head of the family, Earl Warren.
You can not be brilliant at the banquet, but you must not be ugly.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Earl Warren returned to the residence.
He had to go to the venue with his family.
Seeing his wife and children after the change, Earl Warren sincerely praised them one by one:
"Oh, dear, you are wonderful today. ”
"Virginia, the older you get, the more you look like a princess. ”
"Oh, dear Dora and Dorothy, my dearest princesses, I have to worry tonight if you will get entangled in those little bunnies. ”
"Robert, you've chosen this bow tie well. It's okay if you don't talk at night, just follow your brother. ”
Finally arrived at Evan.
"Well, Evan, your tie is crooked!"
Evan was stunned!
"Haha, just kidding. With that, Earl personally straightened Evan's tie.
At half past four, the Warren family went out in two cars.
Destination: Elk's Tower.
