The climate in Los Angeles is very different from that of the UK, and despite the cool breezes of the British Isles, the sunny coast of California is still warm and inviting. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 Although it is the same time in the northern hemisphere, when the young brothers and ladies in the United Kingdom wear heavy trench coats and frequently carry umbrellas, the young men and women in Los Angeles still only need to thicken their clothes in the evening, and some frost-resistant people can even be accompanied by short sleeves all year round.

Moving the family to the top of a skyscraper naturally has pros and cons.

On the 115th floor of the Alice Building, the recruitment of clerks for Ambrera Asset Investment Company has already come to an end, and Sophie can work as long as she goes downstairs, and even if the house gets bigger, the former full-time housewife can make real cleaners go upstairs to clean it, saving almost all the troubles.

Two children, although Oscar and Hannah like the comfortable life brought by the big house, especially the convenience of shopping and eating in the end of an elevator, it is also a bit worth complaining about, that is, after all, the environment has changed. For example, morning jogging, which is feasible and visible every day in ordinary residential communities, cannot appear in the city center. After all, Los Angeles is different from New York, which even has high-rise luxury apartments on the South Island of Manhattan, but in this car-dominated area, the CBD is only the CBD.

James had mixed reviews. After all, if you really want to say that you are greedy for a big house, the whole family has changed to a high-end residence in a high-end community with a larger area and more gorgeous decoration a long time ago, so you still need to live on the roof of an office building at this time. He didn't quit UCLA because of his daughter's career, but because of this, it always gave him a strange feeling that he lived in such a gorgeous high-end apartment as a people's teacher.

So, when Alice returned home again, he immediately found her.

"Awkward? Well, yes, even a top surgeon with an annual salary of two million can't rent a three-story top office building as an apartment. Dad, although you are a professor-level university history teacher, there are not many of your peers who will live in this kind of apartment, so you want me to ...... It has to be awkward, too. ”

A tea area with floor-to-ceiling windows has a beautiful view and a very exquisite interior decoration. It is by no means imitating the luxurious decoration of the Palace of Versailles, the marble floor of the certificate, the large screen glass that transmits light, and the modern minimalist decoration style, as if it has a very strong humanistic and artistic atmosphere. The two armchairs and the small table for drinking tea are also exquisite works by Japanese design masters.

"Oscar, that kid got used to it right away. James sat comfortably in his chair and sipped his tea: "Actually, the interior and area of the room are easy to say." The point is, I'm really not used to living in the heart of the city. Look. ”

James waved his hand out the window. It's getting late, the sun is setting, and the neon lights haven't appeared yet, but the rush hour is already showing up. Although it is located at an extremely high altitude in the air, as long as the ants on the ground are highly dense, you can still have a clear overlook.

"Young people like to be lively, so you three girls and boys get used to it at once, and Sophie can do it too. I'm not saying I'm old, but don't forget, Vivi, your dad and I are not old businessmen who have worked hard in the mall all their lives, but just history buffs, literati. Live in this bustling and headache-inducing venue...... It's really upset. ”

James whispered that he hadn't even told anyone else what he had said tonight. When an idea is first born, there is no need to disturb others, and when time accumulates to a certain extent and it is necessary to confide, it is indeed necessary to give priority to choosing the best person.

Alice turned the Montblanc pen, twisted her mouth, twisted her nose, frowned, and looked at her father with all kinds of strange expressions.

"So, Mom is going downstairs to work now, and I'm the same, and even though our house on Winton Street isn't for sale, Dad, you're not going to want to separate from us, are you?"

James chuckled softly and habitually looked into the room. Thanks to the small family living in the huge house, Sophie and the two children will not be able to meet easily as soon as they get separated, and they have to rely on walkie-talkies to find people, of course, they don't have to worry about being overheard.

"Separation? He stood up, stretched his body and said, "I just thought that you are almost eighteen years old now, and Oscar and Hannah are getting closer and closer to going to college." You don't need it, but when the two of them go there to study, there will only be three of us left in such a big house, don't you have any new plans?"

New plans?

As soon as she moved her ass here, Alice felt that something was wrong. She really just arrived home, the plane arrived at the Los Angeles airport at one o'clock in the afternoon, and then she just arrived home to rest for less than three hours, and was dragged here by her father. I just listened to it, and I thought he was misanthropic about the world, but how do you feel it now......

Sure enough, James grinned at her, "High school graduates, Alice, even if you've been studying on the other side of the Atlantic, Eton is also a gathering place for boys." Even if you graduated a year early, you've stayed long enough, why didn't you bring back a boyfriend for your family!?"

Wow......

Alice's expression suddenly became more bitter than a bitter melon......

"Boyfriend!?"

However, the first sentence after that, it was not her who said it, and there was a rush of footsteps, and Sophie hurried over from the inside of the house in her slippers.

"Did I hear the word boyfriend just now? Ellie? You've got a boyfriend!?"

It's actually the rhythm of three sessions!?

As soon as she saw her mother's figure, Alice suddenly couldn't help but stroke her forehead. Well, it's really her fault, she has never explained her orientation to her family for so many years, and Sissi's existence has not aroused much suspicion among them, so now ......

"Dad, don't ...... Mom, don't see the wind or the rain. ”

Seeing Sophie walking all the way to her side, Alice's body slid down, Ge You slumped on the chair, and shook out a roll of her eyes: "Still a boyfriend?

However, Sophie smiled, walked behind James with light steps, put her hands on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "See, dear, Vivi is shy." ”

Sophie knew at a glance that she had just come up from the office downstairs, and before she had time to change her Versace business suit, she hurriedly ran to this kind of corner to eavesdrop on the father-daughter conversation, this is not premeditated, what else could it be!?

She immediately stood up and gritted her teeth and said, "I won't play with you anymore! I still have to be busy with work, so I won't accompany you!"

As soon as she saw that she was coming, her daughter was about to run away, Sophie hurriedly laughed and called out to her: "Monica just came back with you, don't you want her to go home from work early? It's almost dinner, let's get busy again, baby!"

James wanted to stand up, but it happened that Sophie's arms wrapped around his neck again, so he could only continue to sit on the chair and wave: "Yes, yes, your mother also said in the morning that she wants Hannah and Oscar to go to the supermarket to buy at this time, and we will support ourselves tonight and have a big meal!"

As soon as she heard the delicious food, Alice stopped running into the depths of the house, and turned to face her parents.

"Then you have to talk about it, when will I find ...... Uh-huh, you don't need to rush anymore to find a partner, when will I bring people home, and when will I tell you those things again, understand~?"

Alice made a plan in an instant, she is only a little over seventeen years old now, even if she doesn't mention singleness, at least ten years later, she won't talk about marriage at all. Therefore, whether it is the so-called leading the subject home, or secretly revealing one's orientation to the family, this glorious and great arduous task can of course drag on for one minute or sixty seconds......

"Understood, completely understood. The first to express his stance was James, and he was really relaxed: "Actually, Dad is not afraid of your jokes, when I think of which pig my baby daughter is going to be arched by, even if that young man is excellent, I have to arrange a Twelve Trials of Hercules for him!"

Well, yes, although the reason is the same, James's expression is indeed the best that only Chinese parents can say. Sophie had talked to the children about related topics a long time ago, saying that when James chased her down, he said that his father-in-law looked at him as a pig with a cabbage~

"Well, it should, it should. Alice pursed her lips and leaned lazily on Sophie: "If there is really that young man who doesn't know what to do, he actually wants to chase me the world's most beautiful girl, not to mention the twelve trials, you let him and our entire black water thousands of mercenaries practice one by one!"

Look at him and don't play to death!

James laughed, but he was afraid that no one would give him a laugh. Since the mother and daughter were together, of course they were talking to themselves, and they put their arms on each other, which left the head of the family here, and went to the rest of the house on their own.

The two of them walked on the private direct elevator and went directly to the first floor.

Then, by the way, let's get down to business.

"Are you sure you really don't need to call the police?" Sophie said, "The police should be more professional in their investigative skills, right? And since you suspect that the woman is from the Soviet side, maybe the CIA and MI6 may also be involved?"

Alice shook her head: "Don't forget, Mom, those mercenaries sent by Uncle Levier are also professional, since they haven't found anything from Draken at all, then the CIA will definitely not find anything with the old way of thinking." It's the Soviet Union and Czechoslovakia and the Warsaw Pact to NATO, and then Czechoslovakia is still making a reform storm recently.

"The more resources you call, the more obvious it becomes. Sophie immediately understood, but when she saw that the fast elevator was about to reach the ground floor, she also changed the subject: "Okay, Ellie, straighten your collar, let's go out for a walk!"
