15. Daddy Suitor

In his uninjured left hand, Lestrade was carrying a large bag of gifts, which, according to his initial observations, contained small desserts in addition to some small toys, and he touched his chin as he pressed the elevator, and it seemed that Mycrof Holmes had a clear understanding of what was going on in his house, exactly eight in terms of the number of small desserts, and one doughnut.

Hmm, the doughnuts he likes.

"Who the hell is that big Sherlock Holmes? Petty officials of the government? Don't be funny. ”

Before opening the door, Lestrade saw a box of doughnuts, a large box, and judging from the brand, it was a super hot dessert shop in London, not only expensive, but also limited, only 100 donuts a day. Lestrade had wanted to eat it before but had never been able to eat it, and it seemed that Mycrof Holmes was indeed not an idle person.

When he opened the door to the apartment, he saw Tony and Merlin pounce on him, and the two little ones hugged Lestrade's legs, raised their heads and said with a big smile, "Dad! ”

The two little ones were followed by Harry, the most sensible Harry took the bags from Lestrade's hand, Hannibal seemed to be teasing Raven, and his little princess sapphire held out her hand to him as if to hug him! Lestrade led the two little boys into the living room, he came to Raven and bent down to pick up the little princess with one hand, and rubbed Raven's pink face with his bearded cheek, "My princess, do you miss me." ”

β€œYes!” Raven leaned against Lestrade's body, her nose was very sensitive, so she smelled the blood on Lestrade's body, and she pouted and was about to start crying, but Harry's voice caught her attention.

Lestrade exhaled secretly, almost exposed.

"Dad, it's ......"

Harry looked at the bag in his hand, there were toys in it? A delicate dessert? Donut? He also seems to have seen a pink rabbit! This is...... A gift?!

"Gifts! Gift! ”

Merlin and Tony's attention was attracted by the bag in Harry's hand, and they insisted that it was a gift, Harry looked at Reestrade in embarrassment, although it looked like a gift, but it was obviously not like their father bought it, as the family usually manages the money, Harry knows the price of a small snack, which can be described as sky-high.

Thor also ran over when he heard the gifts, he smelled the food, of course Thor wouldn't let go of Loki's hand, he dragged Loki over, Harold put down the computer in his hand and tilted his head and thought to himself, Could it be that Dad came back late to buy them gifts? Hannibal frowned, he just glanced at it, the scale of the gift was huge, it was not like Lestrade could suddenly prepare it, the main thing was that there were doughnuts that Lestrade liked, so it was more like someone else gave him.

"Yes, a gift, Harry, you can actually open it and take a look."

He didn't know exactly what was in it, but he thought that this gift must have wasted a lot of attention on Mr. Mycroft Holmes, and from the little princess's toy to his favorite doughnut, Lestrade looked at the large number of gifts over there and touched his nose, and now it seemed that he owed Mycroft a lot of favors.

A few small ones exclaimed from time to time when they opened the gift, as if they were very satisfied with the gift, that is, Raven saw the pink rabbit and forgot what she wanted to cry just now, she broke free from Lestrade's arms and staggered to the toy, which made Lestrade think that he owed a lot to Mycroft, he scratched his head and said to himself: "What should I do if I owe such a big favor." ”

"Greg, we can have dinner."

Hannibal had prepared dinner for the evening, very sumptuous, to celebrate the end of the Reestrade case, and their long-lost family dinner.

Hearing the opening of the meal, Lestrade had an embarrassed expression on his face, he was wearing a long black trench coat, which just covered the wound on his arm, and the little princess's attention was attracted away, so he hid it for a while.

"Oh, okay, dear right away."

In fact, Hannibal has the most sensitive sense of smell in the house, but before that, he had been at a distance from Lestrade, so he didn't notice the smell of Lestrade, but now......

He frowned, in addition to the strong smell of blood, Lestrade also smelled of women's perfumes, like from the Chanel collection, and it looked like the gift was really not prepared by their father.

Hannibal suppressed the doubts in his mind about perfume, whether it was Lestrade's suitor or not, and he was going to discuss it with his brothers.

But......

"Greg, are you hurt?"

Lestrade smiled awkwardly, and said that he really didn't hide it. He pinched Hannibal's cheek with his fingers and said, "Hannibal, it's called Dad." ”

"Dad, your skill at changing the subject is not good at all." Hannibal wouldn't let Lestrade change the subject, as the smell of blood grew stronger as the man approached, and Hannibal found that he rarely used his right hand from the moment he entered the door, so he was sure that his right arm was injured.

"Oh, my dear, you're getting less and less cute, I miss you so much."

Lestrade really misses the previous Hannibal, the little one is so cute, although he likes to fight and has a little problem with his outlook on life, but the crazy dad looks at everything cute.

"Dad, I'm going to grow up."

Hearing that Reestrade was injured and the children who were still around the gift just now came over, Raven began to pout again, tears were already rolling in her big eyes, Harry and Harold's brows were also furrowed, and Merlin carefully grabbed the corner of Reestrade's clothes as if she was about to cry.

"Dad, are you hurt?"

Harry's words seemed to be the flip of a switch, and the little princess and Merlin finally cried. When Lestrade heard the two little angels crying, he immediately picked them up one by one, and the tearing of the wound made him bite his lip, but he still let himself smile, "Baby, baby, I'm fine, shhh ”

Sweat began to break down on his forehead, but he kissed the cheeks of his two children so that they could calm down.

"Merlin, Raven! Get down! ”

Harry pulled his face in a rare way, and Raven and Merlin sniffed and obediently climbed off Lestrade's body. Harry looked at Hannibal and said, "Hannibal, help Dad with his wounds, and then we're having dinner, my brothers, please help put our dinner on the table." ”

Harry got angry, and Loki secretly stuck out his tongue, and by the way, pulled Merlin over and twisted his nose and said, "Merlin is a crybaby!" ”

"Not really!" Merlin jumps to his feet! He thinks he's already a big kid! It's not a crybaby!

Lestrade wiped the sweat from his forehead with his left hand, and he always felt that Raven had gained a lot of weight in the past few days.

By the time they were finally all seated at the table, another half hour had passed.

Lestrade had changed into clean lounge clothes, and the wound he had just ripped open had been re-bandaged, and he sat there watching his children touch their noses, and if he couldn't explain how the wound came about, the family dinner would not have to start today.

In fact, everyone is quite concerned about Lestrade, even Raven, who is just starting to be sensible, what she doesn't like the most is to see Dad injured, so she follows the example of her brothers with a small face, and even turns back to blue to protest.

"Well, it's really just an accident......"

Lestrade told them how heroic he was to save people today, and the process of being accidentally bruised, he mainly highlighted his bravery, and omitted the background of the criminal and the unconscious bear child, in fact, at that time, they just had to wait a little longer These things would not have happened, but the bear child was not obedient and he was very helpless.

Overall, part of the reason for his injury was Sherlock Holmes.

Thinking about it this way, it is understandable for his brother to give gifts and apologize.

"So can we eat now? Seriously, I'm going to be hungry! Don't you want to try those delicious desserts? ”

He always knows how to distract the bear children, for example, to find a topic that they like, Lestrade rubs his hands and pretends to be hungry to attract the attention of a few small ones, they giggle, and he looks very hungry as he covers his stomach, Hannibal looks at Harry and Harold, it is clear that there is a hole in Dad's words, but they can't delve into it.

It's been a long time since the family has had dinner together, and before Lestrade would come back late at night, and if there was no one for the little ones, they would accompany him to eat, but if they all slept, sometimes Lestrade came back to find something to eat, so it was really hard to sit together and eat a hot meal now.

After enjoying Hannibal's French dishes, they chose to eat the small snacks that Lestrade brought back, delicious and expensive small snacks.

And Lestrade looked at the doughnut in front of him and licked his lips subconsciously, his favorite snack was the doughnut.

"Dad, I have one more question."

Lestrade silently put down the donut in his hand and asked with a smile, "Harry, what's the problem?" ”

"These must have been given to Dad by someone else, right? Is there really nothing we eat like this? ”

Hannibal had dragged Harry to discuss the gift and the smell of Lestrade's perfume, and he thought that perhaps their Dad might have a suitor, and that Harry, as the eldest son, would be the best question.

"There's nothing to deliver, it's okay, Harry can eat, let's go."

Harold poked his finger at Hannibal's raised eyebrow, "Looks like their dad really has a suitor." ”

Then the news spread to every child's ears that night, and they were absolutely not to ask until Lestrade confessed, no matter what kind of person the future "stepmother" was, or wait until Dad confessed his romance.

A misunderstanding is often caused by a lack of clarity, and a good thank-you gift is misinterpreted as a ...... The gift of love.

So in the misinterpretation of the children, Mycrof Holmes became Greg Lestrade's suitor.
