Chapter 230: Visit
For the past two days, Lola has always felt restless, as if something big is about to happen. And her husband, White, has not been back since he went out with the congressman named Reynolds the day before. This kind of all-night situation has never happened in their house, and Laura, as the hostess, inevitably worries about her husband.
"Mom, can Dad come back today?" Jason Jr. is young, but he knows a lot of things. Knowing that his father's busy work every day is for him and his mother, even if his father can't be with him all the time, he won't have any complaints.
However, this time White went out for two days and did not return, this situation is unprecedented, and it is precisely because Jason Jr. is sensible that he will ask his mother so tirelessly.
Lola, who was making lunch while thinking about it, suddenly heard Jason Jr.'s question, looked down at the little face that was somewhat similar to White, and the suppressed feelings in her heart were unnaturally revealed, and tears appeared in her eyes unconsciously.
"Mom, why are you crying, did little Jason make you angry?" His mother's silent crying caught little Jason off guard, and he thought it was his own question.
Luo stretched out his hand that was no longer white, caressed little Jason's face, and said with a little choked: "It's not Jason's fault, it's just that mom misses dad." Mom wants Dad to come back soon, but he has work to do, and Jason Jr. must be able to understand, right? β
Little Jason looked up at his mother, although he didn't understand the complex emotions between adults, he could read the deep longing in his mother's eyes, just as he missed his father.
So, his little head nodded heavily. Responded: "Hmm. I will definitely wait with my mother. Until Dad comes back from work. So Mom don't cry, let's wait for Dad to come back, okay? β
"Good boy!" Laura is very pleased that her son can be so sensible, and what she is most afraid of is that White will make the child anxious because he has not returned all night. But now it seems that her worries are unnecessary, and Jason does not generate any negative emotions under her reassurance. It's herself, because she misses her husband, she actually cried in front of her son, and in the end, she had to let her son comfort her in turn.
Lola secretly smiled bitterly, and turned to Jason, "Okay. Let's wash our hands and get ready for lunch. β
"Well, what did you eat today?" Jason poked his head out to look at the prepared food, and saw that there were already three prepared vegetable salads and mashed potatoes. He tilted his head and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mom, do you know that Dad will be back today?" β
"Huh? Little Jason, why do you say that? Laura couldn't understand why her son would ask that, and if she knew when her husband would return, she wouldn't have cried because of her thoughts.
Jason pointed to the three lunches on the table and said, "Then why did Mom make three?" β
"Huh?!" It was only then that Lola reacted, thinking about her husband while making lunch. Before I knew it, I made an extra portion as usual. She smiled awkwardly at her son: "Hehe." Sorry, little Jason. Just now, my mother was distracted, and I unconsciously made one for my father. If you don't mind, let's split Dad's share equally, and little Jason eats more so that he can grow up quickly. β
"Well, when I grow up, I will also be like my father, guarding my mother." Like many children, in Jason's heart, it is his ideal to protect the family when he grows up. Although it sounds very naΓ―ve, in every child's body, there is a brave heart.
"Hehe, that little Jason needs to eat more, so that he can grow up quickly and protect his father and mother. And when little Jason grows up, there are more important people to protect. Lola stroked Jason's little head, encouraging like most mothers.
"Hmm!" Jason didn't quite understand what his mother meant by the second half of the sentence, but he nodded heavily, and then ran to wash his hands excitedly.
'Ding Dong~' The doorbell outside rang suddenly, and the other party seemed to be in a hurry, and kept pressing it over there.
"Jason, can you help Mom open the door?" Laura, who was busy making lunch, leaned out of the kitchen door and shouted in the direction of the living room.
"Okay, Mom."
Jason answered, then jumped off the couch and walked to the door of the living room with cheerful steps. In fact, there is a small expectation in his little heart, hoping that the doorbell will ring the doorbell to rush back for lunch.
However, his small expectation was completely shattered the moment he opened the door. I saw that the person standing at the door was not his father, but two men and two women whom he had never seen before. These four people are also very special, their skin is actually pale yellow. colored, and the facial features are not as rough as the British, which looks more delicate and good-looking.
"Jason, who's here?"
Laura walked out of the kitchen with her apron on, afraid that it was the bad guy who rang the doorbell, and that if her son opened the door to robbers or bandits, it would be a big problem.
"Mom, it's four people I haven't seen before, and they're all pretty good-looking." When Jason heard his mother's question, he actually left the four people outside the door aside, turned his head and replied in that immature voice.
When Laura arrived at the door, she saw four unfamiliar oriental faces. But in her memory, her husband didn't have much contact with Orientals, so why did these people come to the door?
"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Although she was worried that these Orientals were not good, Laura still had the courage to ask.
"Hello, Lady Laura, we have come from Westminster to find your husband, White. Oh, by the way, my name is Su Zikite. "The four Orientals at the door are none other than Ye Qi and Su Ziyuan, as well as Feng Xu, the eldest disciple of Tiangong, and Bai Qian, the eldest disciple of Shang Yu.
"How do you know my name? Also, what are you looking for my husband for? Lola couldn't help but panic when she saw that the Oriental woman outside the door could say her name when she opened her mouth.
"Your husband is suspected of assassinating Her Majesty, and we have something to talk to him about. Let me ask again, is he not at home? β
Su Zikite's face was covered with frost, just like a witch star coming from the demon world. She really didn't have the time to explain to the European woman in front of her, so she directly asked about White's movements.
Originally, Su Ziyuan wanted to take Ye Qi directly to arrest White this morning, but unexpectedly, those two Wanhua disciples actually lost people. In fact, they can't blame the two disciples, they didn't expect that there was a secret passage in the abandoned factory.
However, Lola He, who has always been husband-centered, has ever encountered this kind of thing, and was immediately frightened by the cold and biting atmosphere, how can she have the courage to speak.
"You are not allowed to bully my mother, you are all bad people."
At this time, little Jason, who was only seven years old, actually stood up in front of his mother and glared at the four people outside the door with vicious eyes. His move made everyone present, including Lola, stunned, and even Su Ziyuan's momentum just now disappeared invisibly.
"I'm sorry, Ms. Laura. This friend of mine just spoke a little rushed, please don't take it to heart. Ye Qi was the first to wake up from the shock and hurriedly apologized to Laura, who was still in shock. After all, it was White who was involved in the plan to assassinate the Queen, and his family didn't know about it, so it would be a bit too much to target his family because of his actions.
"I'm fine." Laura was obviously still worried about Su Ziyuan's terrifying expression just now, and asked unnaturally, "You said that my husband was going to assassinate the queen?" But how could he do such a thing? "She herself was a loyal supporter of the Queen, and White knew that. She couldn't believe what had caused her husband to assassinate the Queen.
"Believe it or not, our checks in every way prove that your husband, Councillor White, was involved in the plan to assassinate the Queen. So we're just here to find out what's going on with Congressman Wright, and we hope you'll be able to help us. Ye Qi said in a tactful tone as much as possible.
Lola hesitated at the door and said, "Come in and tell me, I want to know what my husband has done." Although she was still a little skeptical of the words of the four Yedge, it was related to Queen Elizabeth, whom she most supported, and her most beloved husband White. Such a big event had to make her think about it.
"Then we're bothered." Ye Qi nodded to Lola very politely, and then walked into the living room with Su Ziyuan and them.
After coaxing little Jason to let him go to the dining room to eat, Laura returned to the living room. Since several of the people present were strangers, she, the host, seemed extremely reserved.
He looked at the four people in front of him hesitantly, and asked in a low voice, "Can you tell me why White participated in the plan to assassinate the queen?" Also, what proof do you have that you are sent by the Queen? β
Ye Qi smiled secretly, and took out a crystal card with the head of Queen Elizabeth from his arms: "I believe that Ms. Laura should be no stranger to this, right?" β
"Royal Guard!" Lola covered her lips with her hands and exclaimed. As a loyal supporter of the Queen, she certainly recognized the status symbol of the Royal Guard, which was directly subordinate to the Queen.
"Now that we've proven ourselves, let's ask Lady Lola to tell me about your husband's whereabouts." Ye Qi withdrew the crystal card in his hand and said unhurriedly. This card was granted by the queen because he wanted to protect the queen, and this card made it convenient for him to do things, but I didn't expect it to come in handy today. (To be continued.) )
