The three Colin siblings got out of the car and entered the hotel, and the rain seemed to show no signs of stopping, so Colin simply opened a room to rest.

Dora and Dorothy stayed in the room, but Colin spent the rest of his time touring the hotel.

As a hostel, the accommodation provided by Motel is not even average, and in addition to having a fairly clean and tidy environment, many of the furnishings reveal obvious cheapness, and can even be said to be a little shabby.

But such a hotel made Colin look at it with relish and seriousness.

Because, this Motel hotel, business is exceptionally good, and the rooms are full at once.

The room was full, which had something to do with the heavy rain outside, but what Colin could be sure of was that not many people stayed in the hotel to escape the rain, and more people only took shelter from the rain for a short time and did not open the room.

This shows that before that, the hotel was almost full.

But why is such a small hotel located on the side of the road, which is not in very good condition, doing business so well?

Colin couldn't help but be curious.

After talking to hotel staff, managers, and some residents, Colin came up with a few conclusions.

One, the hotel opened in April this year and belongs to a company called Milestone, which is a chain hotel brand, and Motel is the brand name;

Second, business has been good since the opening of this hotel;

Third, this hotel caters to people with cars, so the hotel has parking and a drive-in restaurant with low room rates.

Curiosity was satisfied, and Colin returned to his room, where he was complained about by his two sisters.

"Throw down the two flowery sisters, brother, you really have a big heart. ”

"Colin, if you don't come back, don't starve our stomachs. ”

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was wrong, really! I'm going to buy food, what do you want to eat?"

"No problem!"

Colin said as he exited the room.

The three siblings had lunch at the hotel, and then began to play cards while waiting for the rain to stop.

By the way, the rules of the cards they play are taught by Evan and are called Landlord.

Whoever loses is flicked in the forehead.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, the rain had finally stopped.

Dora, whose eyebrows were flushed, threw the cards and said, "Don't play, don't play, the rain has stopped, let's get back on the road." ”

This Dora is the landlord, but he still has a hand of hole cards, so he is ready to play tricks.

Dorothy, who had the good cards, just pouted and let Dora go, and Colin had no intention of playing any further.

Because in this half afternoon, Dora lost too badly.

"Okay, I'll check out, you guys check it, don't leave anything behind, and then go to the car and wait for me." ”

With that, Colin was the first to walk out of the room.

He came to the already empty front desk, knocked on the board, and said, "I want to check out." ”

The administrator who was mopping the floor quickly put down the mop and walked over to Colin as he spoke: "Mr. Warren, are you leaving?" ”

"I remember you opened the room in the morning. ”

"I'm sorry to see the ground wet. ”

The reason why the ground at the front desk is so wet is that it is home to many shelterers from the rain.

"That's right!" Colin nodded and said, "I originally opened the room to avoid the rain, and since the rain has stopped, of course it is important to go on the road." ”

"This is the key, do you need to go to the room?"

The caretaker took the key to the house and said, "Okay, it looks like someone will check out later." ”

"If you do a round...... According to the rules, it was supposed to be, but you only stayed for a few hours, so I decided to avoid it. ”

"Thank you!"

At this point, Dora and Dorothy came hand in hand, and Colin waved at them, motioning for them to wait.

"Excuse me, can you borrow a phone and use it?"

The administrator said, "Of course. ”

The phone is right at the counter.

Colin picked up the phone and called Evan. If it hadn't been for this heavy rain, they should have arrived home at this point, and now that something had happened, Colin had to inform Evan so that he wouldn't be worried.

It was Audrey who answered the phone, and Colin gave the itinerary in a few words and hung up the phone.

"Thank you. ”

In just two minutes, a few more guests came to the front desk to check out. Colin thanked the caretaker and headed for the parking lot.

After a heavy rain, the sky was clear again, and the air was clear, but the water on the ground made Colin have to be careful not to accidentally step into the pit.

The next half of the car went smoothly, and two hours later, the three siblings finally arrived in Sacramento.

To the surprise of the three siblings, when they entered the mansion, they found that Mr. and Mrs. Earl were actually at home.

"You're back, why didn't you arrive now, didn't you leave in the morning?"

As soon as she saw the twins in the first room, Nina asked without saying hello.

"Mom, we're back. Dora affectionately hugged one of Nina's arms and said, "I set off in the morning, but it rained heavily halfway, so I ......."

Dorothy also came up to greet Nina, and then walked up to Earl, who was sitting on the couch, and called softly like a kitten, "Daddy, we're back." ”

For the youngest daughter, Earl was very precious in his heart, but his face was as usual, and after humming softly, he asked, "Nothing happened on the road, right?"

Dorothy shook her head and asked in turn, "Dad, it seems like you came back early today." ”

Earl said, "yes, it's fine. ”

After asking the reason for her late return, Nina went back to the kitchen.

Dinner is being prepared.

After a while, Colin returned to the house after parking the car. Seeing Earl, who was being entangled by his two younger sisters, he was slightly stunned.

"Father, how did you ......?"

Earl grimaced, "What? I take a break once in a while, is it that weird?"

Colin waved his hand and said, "It's not strange. ”

"It's not surprising to me that you're so laid-back when you think of your current prestige, unmatched in California, and the fact that politicians of both parties have had little desire to run with you after announcing your gubernatorial race. ”

Earl glanced at his eldest son, and after receiving his compliment, he said, "It's okay, after returning to Yale, I finally picked up my mouth." ”

Dora and Dorothy next to her smiled secretly.

Colin glared at his sisters, and then talked to his father about Evan.

"Father, do you think Evan will encounter pressure from Morgan in the future?"

When Earl heard that Henry Morgan had gone to see Evan in person, he said, "Probably not." ”

"I know a little bit about Henry Morgan, Alan Sproul (Linda's uncle) is more familiar with him, he cherishes talents, focuses on expanding in a cooperative way, and is a banker with the legacy of the diplomatic banker era. ”

"Since he also met Evan after the results came out, it shows that he admires Evan very much, and he has always had a good temper with those who appreciate it. ”

"So, for the time being, you shouldn't have to worry about Morgan. ”

After hearing this, Colin thought for a moment and asked, "Don't worry about Morgan, what about Rockefeller?"
