"But I don't think you're going there for any better education. The aunt glanced at Benn and said lightly. Knowing a son is like a mother, she knows exactly what the hell is in Ben's heart.

"What do you think, Lamar! Why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"

"Aren't we a family? Of course we should live together. Lamar took it for granted: "And now that I have money, our whole family deserves a better life." ”

Jonathan suddenly stood up at this time and snorted angrily: "You mean that you have money now and can take care of us, so you have to take us to you." And then keep me and your mom in a cage like birds, preferably with Sally and his fiancé, none of us go to work, we all live around you like parasites, right?.

Lamar was a little confused by Jonathan's inexplicable anger.

But Vanessa is different, she has always lived, and she knows the thoughts of these elders very well. Jonathan's anger was entirely because he felt like a useless old man in Lamar's eyes, waiting to be taken care of. No one wants to admit that he is old, even though he is a man of his age.

"Mr. Jonathan, Lamar didn't mean that. Vanessa quickly explained: "He just wants to live with all of you, don't look at him so strong on the court, in fact, he is just a child who needs to be taken care of." After all, it's just me and Lamar living together, it's too lonely. ”

Lamar also understood when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "Yes, uncle! That's what I mean, I don't want to raise anyone like a bird, even if you go to Marbury, you can go to work if you want, didn't you work in a hospital in Manhattan before you met your mother? We don't live together, or live separately, but we are relatively close, and you also know that this place on Long Island is too far away from us, and it will take more than four hours to come and see you go back and forth!"

Lamar is like this, and Jonathan is also tempted. If it weren't for the sake of accommodating his wife, he would not have been willing to give up his life in Manhattan anyway. Now that he has the opportunity to go back and start over, he can't help but feel a little excited. Another is that he will never admit that he is old. If you could start your own business again in Manhattan, wouldn't it be the best like Lamar's.

Seeing that Jonathan didn't move, his aunt was noncommittal. It's not that she can't bear her job, in fact, over the years, Jonathan has sacrificed a lot for herself. Every day her husband is confined to the house, and she feels that she should make up for it.

"Jonathan, what's your opinion?"

Jonathan hesitated and said, "I think it's better to ask everyone's opinions." ”

He had already made it clear that since he could still work in Marbury, without looking incompetent and old in front of his children, and that the whole family could get together from time to time, he had nothing to worry about.

As for other people's opinions, my aunt naturally wanted the whole family to live together. Sally is going to get married next year, and it doesn't matter if she moves or not, as for Benn and Kreese, the hearts of the two of them have already flown to the metropolis of Manhattan.

"Manhattan! We can really go to Manhattan and Marbury's Beach! It's just amazing!" Benn jumped with excitement.

Chris didn't quite understand the difference between Long Island City and Manhattan, but looking at Benn's excited look, she felt that at least this move should not be a bad thing.

"Fawkel, tell the man last time that I want his manor, and find me a nice villa near the manor, where my aunt and uncle's family are going to live. On the way back to New York City, Lamar couldn't wait to call his agent, Fawker. Now Lamar is very rich, and recently the money he invested in Microsoft during the Internet bubble has been recovered (Microsoft was caught in the monopoly gate incident at the beginning, and the stock price has fallen all the way), and Lamar's more than 18 million US dollars have now multiplied several times, and Lamar, who has nearly 100 million US dollars, has of course had to have a good luxury. Of course, Lamar still holds the shares of Google and Victoria's Secret, two potential companies, but now Lamar doesn't want to move, which is the guarantee of a better life after his retirement in the future.

The manor he owned had already seen in the summer, and he and Vanessa had hoped to live with Vanessa soon after they started dating, so he had his eye on a rather luxurious manor early. It's just that I was short of money at the time, and I wasn't sure if I could serve my family to Manhattan, and now that my family has agreed, the house should be implemented as soon as possible.

"You look really happy!" Vanessa, who was sitting next to him, smiled.

"Of course, I'll be able to live with my family, Dad, Mom, Sally, Benn. And Krees, we're all together as a family. And of course, you, baby, dear, I think there's a surprise for you later!" Lamar was very excited.

"Is it the manor you just had? What's going on?"

Lamar smiled and said, "I originally wanted to surprise you, that manor belonged to a Jewish merchant. I wanted to buy it in the summer. It's just a pity that the price he marked at that time was too high, and the money in my hand was not enough. But now that he made a fortune before the investment, and the Jew hasn't had good luck lately, he's in a hurry to sell the manor, so 。。。。。。 ”

"You should have told me earlier!" Vanessa was visibly not upset.

Lamar seemed to have anticipated Vanessa's reaction, and still smiled: "I originally wanted to live together when we got married." But now that Dad and they have agreed to move over together, I have to arrange it in advance, and I bought a villa near the manor for Jonathan and them, and I'm afraid it will be lively there!"

"Married?!" Vanessa jumped up as if she had been electrocuted, but luckily there was a seat belt to stop her.

"Lamar, you're just getting married. Are we married?" Vanessa was still in disbelief, and at this time, Lamar's voice was tired of speaking, goosebumps straightened up, and he had a car accident!

Vanessa was looking forward to hearing the word from Lamar's mouth, and now that Lamar was out, she was scared again.

Vanessa wanted Lamar to do it all over again, but Lamar was silent, not because he didn't want to, but because he didn't think there was any need to understand something.

Back in Manhattan, New York City, Lamar immediately took Vanessa to the manor he fancied, it was a two-villa conjoined building, the manor has gardens, an open-air swimming pool, tennis courts, a bowling alley, a home theater and even a children's playground, a ranch, a private beach connected to Marbury Beach, and a private dock of his own near the beach, although it is enough to accommodate a yacht under 50 feet to dock, it can be, the original owner here has thought of it。

Lamar would have paid nearly $60 million to buy it, but it was worth it for him.

Home is more important to Lamar than anything now, and of course this home needs a new hostess, and that person is Vanessa.?

After a period of rest, the NBA arena resumes its hustle and bustle. The giants of all walks of life have once again begun to fight for playoff tickets.

At this point in the season, the fate of some teams has reached the time to be decided. Some have given up the courage to fight for themselves at the last minute and have begun to try their luck at the draft next summer.

Like the Atlanta Hawks or the Golden State Warriors, they've long since lost their ambitions. The next game for them may be to accompany the prince to study. Anyway, they've been messing around like this almost every season, and no matter how hard they don't want to go, no one will laugh at them.

Of course, there are also teams that want to fight again at this last minute, at least to make their season look less ugly. is like a down-and-out giant like the Boston Celtics, although the inside is broken, at least it has to hold on to face. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to explain to the excited fans.

The most are the teams that want to fight for a good position for themselves before the end of the regular season, go further in the playoffs and even win the championship.

The Knicks have seen their results fluctuate in a dozen games before Christmas, and the ranking has slipped from the top of the Eastern Conference to second place, replacing them with the Philadelphia 76ers, who have been in good form lately, and now the Phillies are already looking forward to their first championship of the new century.

In the West, it is still a situation of competition, not at all like in the East, where there are only a few teams competing. The difference between the winners and losers is not very obvious, even between the eighth-ranked Sagramento Kings and the top-ranked Los Angeles Lakers are only eight wins.

This season, the Los Angeles Lakers have expelled Lamar, Billups, Ramon Murray, the two consecutive champions, and introduced a number of powerful players such as Sprewell, Cott Thomas, and Mark Jackson, and the overall competitiveness of the team has been significantly improved compared with the past two years. Coupled with the careful tuning of coach Phil Jackson, the current Lakers have gradually transformed from the original gorgeous offensive team to a strong team with iron-blooded defense.
