"Where are we going. ”

Audrey, who was holding a small bag with painting tools in her arms and was tightly held by Evan in her left hand, asked.

Evan took his sketchbook in one hand, didn't forget to bring the newspaper, and hailed a taxi when he left the park.

After getting into the taxi and giving the driver an address, Evan said to Audrey, "Don't be too surprised!"

Audrey kept a puzzled expression, but seeing that Evan was so mysterious and confident, she didn't say anything more, and secretly looked forward to it in her heart.

As the taxi approached, Evan stacked his sketchbook and newspaper on his lap, and the newspaper turned to a page that Evan hadn't read. Evan snapped at the headline and looked at it in the car.

"Yesterday (Feb. 1), the University of Pennsylvania held a press conference claiming that it had completed an electronic general-purpose computer 100 times faster than other machines. ”

Sacramento is a small city and taxis arrive at their destination quickly. After paying, Evan takes Audrey to an unnamed warehouse. Here, Audrey sees several machines of unknown purpose that emit an unpleasant smell, and Rona Anderson, who only has his eyes exposed.

Evan asked Ron for something and said, "Audrey, aren't you curious about what I'm busy with when I leave class every afternoon, this is the answer." ”

Evan had a pure white Rubik's cube in his hand, and he showed Audrey how to play it, because it was only a prototype, and it was a bit jerky to operate.

After seeing the Rubik's Cube, Evan took Audrey to the car and went to the almost suburban banks of the America River to visit Chester's laboratory.

"Audrey, Chester is working on a research that can change a lot of people, it's called the photocopier, and when this thing comes out, many of the scribes will have to be laid off, but there is no way around it. And I am the one who supports him, and the benefits he will make in the future will also belong to me. With it, I promise to accomplish the first small goal. Of course, Chester will surely become a rich man because of this. ”

When he said this, Evan's expression was full of smugness.

In fact, Evan didn't just support him financially, he also helped a lot with research. ”

Although he didn't know what special purpose Evan had for suddenly bringing a little girl to the lab, Chester still didn't hesitate to praise it.

Leaving Chester Labs, Evan took Audrey, who was already a little numb from the shock, to Alphabet on Eighth Street. After brutally taking over Carl's office, Evan placed a stack of patent office powers in front of Audrey.

The name of the inventor of the patent is Evan Warren.

"Audrey, you must be wondering where I got so much money to support research and make toys. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the son of a rich man, that's where my confidence lies. ”

"One of my most valuable inventions at the moment sold for 500,000 at once, so I said that becoming a millionaire in five years was really just a small goal. I really didn't lie to you!"

After looking at these three places, the sky has already darkened. However, Evan still has no intention of letting Audrey go home.

He took Audrey to a small white Victorian building.

Audrey saw a guard standing guard at the door and asked, "Where is this?"

Evan replied, "H Street, 1526." ”

Hearing this familiar address, Audrey reacted: "Your home?"

Evan nodded, "Audrey, you never thought to come and see my address after you knew it, did you?"

"If you had been here, you wouldn't have asked me this question!"

"Just now, I've already met your family, now ......" Evan grabbed Audrey's hand with his right hand, and bent over with his left hand, "I don't know if I have the honor to invite dear Miss Audrey to visit Warren's house?"

"This ......" Audrey subconsciously refused, after all, it was just an accident that Evan met his father, but he came to the door in person, how strange he thought.

What happened today was enough to surprise Audrey, and now she still had to see Evan's family?

"Uh...... Huh?"

However, before Audrey could figure out how to speak, the person had already been ushered through the door by Evan.

Walking inside, Audrey discovers that Evan is not a bargain in terms of décor or furnishings.

Just say that you are not a rich son?

When muttering to herself if Evan was lying to herself, the two walked into the living room, and Audrey saw two girls with similar faces standing on the sofa and playing, and an older boy sitting on the side and ignoring them, holding a Rubik's cube she had just seen, and was concentrating on restoring it.

When they saw someone coming in, the two girls immediately stopped fighting. One of the girls quickly sat down and looked curiously at Audrey, whom Evan had brought in. The other girl jumped off the couch and ran towards the kitchen, shouting, "Nina, Virginia, BIG NEWS!"

Evan smiled awkwardly, then pointed to the girl on the couch and introduced to Audrey, "That's my twin sister, her name is Dorothy, and the one who ran away is called Dora." ”

"The guy who played the Rubik's Cube was called Robert. ”

"Dorothy, Robert, she's Audrey. ”

After Audrey greeted Dorothy and Robert with a stiff expression, Nina and Virginia, who had been notified by Dora, also came to the living room.

"Hello, Dora!"

"Hello, Sister Audrey!" Dora said hello, walked up to Evan, and whispered to her brother, "I think Sister Audrey should be prettier." ”

Unfortunately, because of the proximity, Audrey still heard it, she smiled slightly, pretending not to hear.

"Hi, Virginia!"

Virginia smiled and replied, "Hey, Audrey, I didn't expect to see her at home so soon." Take it easy, my family is fine. ”

Evan Mother came out last, "Audrey, this is Nina!"

As soon as Audrey saw Nina, she immediately showed a surprised expression, she didn't expect to see Lady Selena's friend here, and cried out, "Lady Nina, are you Evan's mother?"

Nina nodded gently, looked at Audrey and said, "Yes, you are Audrey?

As he spoke, someone outside walked into the house again.

Evan glanced back, then smiled and said to Audrey, "It just so happens that one of the most important members of my family is back." ”

"Audrey, this is my father, Earl Warren, who is known as the 'Son of California'. ”

Audrey was dazed and greeted Evan's father, and was left to eat dinner with her, and she didn't come to her senses until she actually sat down at the table.

"Evan, is your father really the governor of California?" Audrey asked in a whisper.

"Yes!"

"No wonder ......"

"What's the wonder?"

"No wonder I used to see Lady Nina at Sylvia's House and thought she was familiar, I must have seen a picture in the newspaper. ”

"It's really possible. ”

"Evan ......"

"Huh?"

Audrey was about to ask something when Dora suddenly interjected and interrupted the whispering between the two.

"Evan, will Audrey come to dinner every day in the future?"

Evan shook his head and said, "Of course not, today is special." ”

"Why is today special?"

"Is this...... As it happens, Earl, Nina, and everyone, I'm announcing something today. Evan looked around and said loudly.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at Evan in unison.

Evan paused for a moment before saying, "I'm going to Los Angeles in the second half of the year!"

Dora and Dorothy winked in confusion.

Robert glanced at Audrey beside Evan, then lowered his head and continued to fight with the beef.

Virginia's mouth opened in surprise.

Nina and Earl looked at each other, and finally Nina asked, "WHY?"

Evan glanced at Audrey affectionately and replied, "Because Audrey is going to Los Angeles to attend art high school." ”

"Evan!" Audrey was worried that Evan and her family would have a conflict, and when she was about to stop it, Nina said, "Audrey, you listen quietly, is it okay?"

Nina's words were both majestic and magical, making Audrey sit in her seat and not dare to speak again.

Evan smiled at Audrey and signaled that she didn't have to worry.

Nina glared at Evan and asked, "You mean, you're transferring to Los Angeles?"

Evan shook his head: "No!"

Nina said with a straight face: "Don't tell me that you are going to learn from your brother Colin and drop out of school halfway?"

"Of course not!" Evan glanced at his sister Virginia sitting next to him and said what he really was going to do: "I'm going to go to college early. ”

"University?"

Nina looked surprised.

Not only her, but Audrey and the others all had the same expression.

"That's right!" Evan asked, "Virginia, I'm still in time to take the SAT, right?"

"Of course it's too late...... Virginia nodded, "It's just that you're only a ...... taller"

Virginia remembered that she still needed help with tutoring, so she didn't say any more.

Evan said: "Freshman year of high school is not a problem!"

"Going to Los Angeles?" Earle, who had not spoken, finally spoke, "So, are you going to change your words?"

"I remember someone swearing last year that they wouldn't go to MIT or Stanford!"

Evan looked embarrassed.

Virginia smiled lightly and relieved him: "There are many universities in Los Angeles, like UCLA, USC ......"

Evan continued, "I'm going to go to Caltech and study physics or electrical engineering. ”

After saying that, Evan looked at Earle, only to find that he just nodded lightly and continued to bury his head in eating.

"Well, Earl, won't you say something?"

Earl glanced up at him, and the expression on his face couldn't tell whether he was angry or not: "Haven't you already decided what you want me to say?"

"So be it...... Audrey, eat!"

Ask me, of course I asked you to go to Berkeley, California to study law, but you won't listen, so why do I say it?

Evan pouted boredly.

Audrey, who was extremely nervous on the side, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Half an hour later.

"Audrey, I'll send you back. ”

Nina said to Evan and Audrey with the car keys in her hand.

"Thank you, Mrs. Nina. ”

"Just call me Nina. ”

In less than ten minutes, the car arrived in front of Audrey's house.

"Audrey, I hope Evan's reckless actions didn't scare you tonight!"

Nina kicked Evan out of the car and said to Audrey.

She could see at a glance that Audrey had decided improvisably when Audrey was brought into the house, and Audrey was not prepared at all.

"Thanks, Nina, I'm fine. "Audrey likes Nina's temperament very much, and thinks she has some similarities with her own mother.

"Alright, get out of the car, good night!" Nina kissed Audrey on the forehead.

"Good night, Nina!"

Audrey got out of the passenger seat, and Evan accompanied her to her door.

abducted someone's daughter, so he had to hand it over to someone's father.

Instead of letting Audrey use the key to open the door, Evan knocked on the door himself.

"Bang!"

The door was slammed open, and Joseph stood behind it with a double-barreled shotgun. He looked at Evan with eyes like looking at prey, and said coldly: "You still dare to come to my house to see that I don't ...... a shot."

Evan's face changed, and a cold sweat unconsciously broke out on his sideburns.

Audrey stepped in front of Evan and yelled at Joseph, "Daddy, stop making trouble!!"

"You ......" Joseph's tone was sluggish, looking at Audrey, who couldn't help but look at the woman, his eyes were extremely lonely.

Audrey pushed Joseph into the house first, and then said to Evan, "Evan, you go back, don't keep Nina waiting." ”

"Okay......" Evan looked at Joseph with palpitations, and said to Audrey: "Audrey, it happened suddenly, didn't scare you, don't turn around and ignore me!"

Evan's cautious, uneasy look Audrey was very happy to see it, and chuckled.

"Don't just laugh, talk!"

Audrey stopped smiling and said softly: "Although I was in a daze for the next few hours, I was really startled by you. However, I know your intentions, so I won't be angry with you. ”

"Really?"

Audrey nodded, waved her hand, and said, "See you tomorrow, Evan!"

With that, Audrey reflexively went back to the house.

"See you tomorrow, Audrey!" Evan said to the gate before walking to the car parked on the side of the road, making a fist clenching gesture as he walked.

Hearing the sound of the car leaving, Audrey "pedaled" and stepped up the stairs to go upstairs to the house.

Joseph chattered behind her and asked her where she had gone and whether she had been taken advantage of.

Audrey believes that as long as she nods, Joseph will definitely dare to resist the gun and go to Evan for trouble.

Audrey was angry and didn't want to talk to him.

However, Audrey added when she walked halfway up the stairs: "Daddy, I'll be going to Los Angeles, you can help me ask what application materials I need to prepare." ”

When Joseph heard this, he stopped where he was, first happy, then confused.

What kind of magic did that kid do to make Audrey change her mind?
