The night is getting darker.

Christmas Eve opens.

Different levels of families have different ways to spend Christmas Eve. The average person eats a roast turkey feast, and even if the family is better, they will get a Christmas tree at home, decorate it, and put gifts for the children under the tree.

As for those families who can be regarded as wealthy, they may not be able to live so warmly and happily.

Just like the Warren family, because they had to attend a dinner party, they had to eat the Christmas dinner at noon in advance.

“Merry Christmas Eve！”

As the governor's toast ended, the state government's Christmas Eve reception dinner officially began.

The governor's wife led the elven twins to the venue where the band was located. The twins will play a song live.

The beating of the piano keys weaves a beautiful melody, and many guests, especially women in long skirts, are drawn to the band venue.

Colin and Robert became Governor Earle's sidekicks, and Earle, like many parents keen to show off their wonderful children, introduced his two sons to every guest who came to speak with him.

Especially when the other party attends with his daughter, Earl will be extra enthusiastic.

In this way, not long after the dinner began, all four children of the Warren family became the focus and stars of the venue.

An hour later, overwhelmed by the many men and women he didn't know, Colin had to choose to urinate and escape to avoid the edge for a while.

He had attended similar banquets before, but had never encountered such a warm situation.

After calming down in the bathroom for a while, Colin returned to the venue in a low-key manner. At this time, the venue was divided into two parts by lighting, and the bright part was the stage, and the people inside were dancing in pairs to the rhythmic music.

Standing outside the slightly darker stage, Colin grabbed a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, sipping and watching.

He saw the graceful Governor and his wife, and Dorothy and her dance partner, Robert.

He even observed that Robert's face trembled for a moment, presumably being stepped on by Dorothy, who was not skilled in technology.

Just as Colin was snickering, a fragrant wind suddenly burst into his nose, and a nice voice sounded in his ears.

"Hi, the anachronistic physiological needs seem to make you miss something. ”

Colin turned around, and a woman with outstanding looks in a black dress with a deep V neckline came into view.

The man, he remembers, was introduced to each other during his father's greeting with the newspaper magnate William Hearst. Colin had a special impression of her, not because of her beauty, but because of her contemptuous attitude towards William Hearst at the time.

Her name is Patricia Davis.

She wasn't in the crowd that surrounded Colin when he urinated.

"Hi, meet again, Miss Davis. Colin said hello, then cleared his doubts, "How do you know I've just come out of the bathroom?"

Patricia casually beckoned the waiter, asked for a glass of juice, and said with a smile: "Because, I just came out of there." ”

"Alright!" Colin suddenly felt a little stupid.

To ease the embarrassment, Colin laughed at himself, "I thought you would come up with some great reasoning, like Sherlock Holmes...... It's that I'm thinking too much. ”

Patricia gave Colin a strange look and said, "You do think too much!"

"I'm not as smart as Sherlock Holmes, and besides, I don't like the analogy. ”

Colin paused, then apologized, "It's my fault, I should have used Agatha Christie." ”

Patricia smiled slightly, "I accept." ”

At this moment, the melody that reverberated in the venue changed.

The next song is about to begin.

Colin held out his hand to Patricia and said very gentlemanly, "Have you the pleasure of dancing with you, beautiful Miss Davis?" ”

Patricia hesitated for a moment, then placed her snow-white silk glove on Colin's outstretched right hand.

……

While Colin was enjoying the glamorous blessings, Evan was sitting alone on the couch in the living room of the mansion, talking on the phone with Audrey, who had just had a Christmas dinner.

"Joseph went and went to cut down a Christmas tree and came back. I was busy all day dressing up. ”

"So, you're all on your own?"

"Yes!"

"I'm busy, I'll have to talk about him, and I don't know how to help. ”

"Don't blame him, he just wants to add some atmosphere. He hadn't done any of that before. ”

"Okay, now that you've spoken, what else can I do? By the way, tell you something......

"What?"

"You don't have to be careful about keeping Virginia and Fields secret. ”

"Why?"

"Fields came to the door today. ”

"How's it going?"

"It's okay......"

"That's good. By the way, is Virginia here? I want to talk to her. ”

"Unfortunately, I'm alone in the house right now. The others had gone to the Christmas Eve dinner, and as for Virginia, I guess she didn't want to be disturbed right now. ”

"Well, that's right. Then I'll fight again tomorrow. ”

“……”

“……”

After a brief silence, the two spoke almost simultaneously:

"I miss you. "I miss you. ”

"Me too. "Me too. ”

Then they both laughed at the same time.

After a while, Evan said, "Look, how we are so well connected, like telepathy. ”

"Hmm!"

"Are you laughing?"

"Yes. ”

"I regret it!"

"Regret what?"

"I'm sorry I didn't bring you back to Sacramento, so I can see your smile face to face." It must be beautiful, so beautiful that you can't help but kiss it. ”

"Stop! Really, Evan, I notice that you're getting more and more sweet talkers. ”

"That's because I have honey in my mouth. ”

"Hahaha!"

"If you don't believe me, you can pay for it!"

"Wow!"

"It's just a pity that we're hundreds of kilometers away now. ”

"Evan!"

"Huh?"

"Any idea what I'm thinking right now?"

"What?"

"Alas, my head hurts, my lover is becoming more and more like a ...... in heat"

For the sake of our future happy life, I think it's okay to go here. ”

"Hahaha!"

Evan had a bitter face and a smile in his eyes, and Audrey couldn't help it.

But they all want to cross the space and put each other's hearts together.

……

Meanwhile, at a restaurant in the Tower of Elk, Virginia and Fields enjoy a special candlelit dinner service.

Bang!

The sky in the distance exploded into a brilliant firework.

Virginia and Fields looked out the window at the same time, their faces shining with joy in the light of the fireworks.

The fireworks faded away, and the two looked at each other for a moment, and then made a fork hand to hand, wine glass to wine glass.
