Christmas Eve, December 24.

Anne had a large rectangular table in her house. Anne's family, as well as Zhen Fan and Christine, sat around the table, there were many exquisite foods on the table, of course, the most important roast turkey, as well as roast ham, salmon, pudding, plums, minced meat pies, creamy mashed potatoes, steak, cabbage and a big meal prepared by Zhen Fan - roast suckling pig.

The two families talked and laughed and seemed to be in harmony, which made Claire, who was unaware, very happy, and she had already climbed onto the table, almost drooling and staring at the roast suckling pig with a crisp yellow appearance.

"Claire, don't forget, we still have pre-dinner prayers!"

Anne reminded her in time.

"Yes, Mom!"

"Alright, Claire, we're waiting for you, you come and pray first, and then you can eat delicious food!" Kristen looked at Claire and pinched her nose.

This action made Claire frown, and then began to pray quietly: "Thank God for my father, mother, Uncle Zhen, and of course, Aunt Christine......"

Everyone made a very exaggerated expression at Christine, amused and trying to comfort her. Christine shrugged her shoulders indifferently, and Claire made her feel happy.

“…… Thank God for giving me turkey, pies, Christmas pudding, and roast suckling pig......" Then Claire closed her mouth and looked up. He looked at the crowd and then looked at Anne's face.

"Mom, if I say thank God for giving me cabbage. Will he know I'm lying? ”

Everyone couldn't help laughing, Anne touched Claire's little face, and said with a smile: "Yes, God is omnipotent, since you thank God, then with a pious heart, eat the cabbage!" ”

"Oh well. Mom! ”

Claire pouted, it was clear that she was resistant to cabbage.

It's a really nice little episode that makes the atmosphere very harmonious. The sumptuous food, coupled with Zhen Fan's superb fruit wine, opened everyone's topic.

Christine recounts some interesting things she encounters while making a movie, which attracts Thomas from time to time. Anne pursed her lips. Smiled gently.

“…… I've never seen such a childish side of a great director like Bit, you know, I was stunned when he said he wanted Zhen's fruit wine and came to exchange it with me for it, and it reminded me of Shane? Ulf (the protagonist of "Super Daddy") is bald...... Muscular guy funny, looks funny......"

"Ha, I've never really seen a bit like this. Maybe I shouldn't have given him that wine so easily! Zhen Fan couldn't help laughing.

"If not Christine, of course. You're sitting across from me right now, and I never thought I'd be sitting with a Hollywood star and having Christmas Eve dinner. Thomas gave Christine a little courtesy, then raised his glass, "Weishenme, we don't have a drink for this!" ”

"Don't, Thomas, you're Zhen's friend, i.e., my friend, why don't you ...... Let's make a toast to Claire's prayer! ”

Christine smiled and raised her glass.

"Alright, raise a glass!"

Thomas was a little embarrassed, but he quickly adjusted, smiled at Christine, and several people raised their glasses and took a small sip.

Claire was the most excited, and she fought hard against the roast suckling pig, and Zhen Fan cut her into slices, put them on her plate one by one, and then showed her how to dip the sauce - pure Chinese sauce.

The topic changed very casually, Zhen Fan talked about some interesting things about going to Yosemite National Park with Anne's family, and Anne recalled the past when she fell in love and married Thomas, as well as some nostalgic days when Claire was born.

Thomas was very excited to talk about how he managed to be promoted quickly in the company, and he seemed a little high-spirited.

Zhen Fan looked at him and then at Anne.

Annie's brows furrowed slightly, it was obvious that everything just now seemed random, but in fact it was a deliberate chat, which was in vain, Thomas did not show nostalgia for those beautiful days, let alone look particularly intimate to Annie because of this.

At the end of the Christmas dinner, Anne and Christine cleaned up the table, Claire jumped over to help, and the little girl was really happy today.

Zhen Fan and Thomas sat on the sofa in the living room, drinking tea and chatting.

"Claire is such an angel!"

Zhen Fan said with a lot of feelings.

"I know, I don't want to do that either!" Thomas looked at Zhen Fan, "I know what you're going to say, yes, I've changed, but what can I do?" Fifty percent of Americans' families are incomplete, and I'm just one of them, and ...... Forget it, let's not talk about it, but I still want to thank you for everything! ”

"What about Claire?"

"I'll come to see them often, you know, I love Claire, but that's not a reason why I can't drink Anne apart, Zhen, you're a good guy and a very capable ...... I'm very sorry for the kind of people who can't do it......"

Thomas is iron-hearted, Zhen Fan can't say anything anymore, he doesn't have the ability to change people's minds, he doesn't have the ability to control all people's hearts.

"So...... That's it, these two days, be kind to them and do your part! ”

This is the only thing Zhen Fan can do.

"I know I'm not the kind of person who has no conscience, let alone ...... I really love Claire. ”

Thomas looked at Claire, who was smiling as she walked through the living room and kitchen, and nodded.

Anne and Christine cleaned up the kitchen, and then everyone sat around the tree, and Claire had a lot of gifts already in her socks and hanging on the tree.

There is Zhen Fan's. There's also Christine's, and of course Anne and Thomas's. And the Raymonds also have gifts for Claire.

Barbie, hairpins, and singing dolls......

It's all a source of Claire's joy.

Zuihou Claire sang a nice Christmas song to her family, accompanied by Christine playing the violin. Christine has long prepared the haode instrument.

After a lot of crazy play. Claire finally fell asleep, and Anne carried her to her room, arranged for her to sleep, and couldn't help but cry when she looked at her immature face and the smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.

Thomas sent Zhen Fan and Christine to the door.

"Mark my words, Thomas, I don't want to be on a day like this. Seeing Claire's sad face, you said that you also love her, so show your sincerity! ”

Zhen Fan did not forget to "warn" Thomas.

"I will. Guaranteed! ”

Thomas was both respectful and afraid of Zhen Fan, so he didn't dare to agree sloppily.

The two left, walking from Thomas's yard to their own, quietly. Suddenly, Christine looked at Zhen Fan: "What did you say to him?" ”

"Nothing. It is...... Did you know that Thomas and Anne are going to be separated? ”

"So what?"

Christine shrugged her shoulders. In her opinion, American divorce is indeed a very common thing.

"American families have a 50 percent divorce rate!"

Zhen Fan was stunned, how could he have the same tone as Thomas, he frowned.

"But...... Don't forget, Christine, that fifty percent of the family is complete, and I sometimes suddenly think if I can't give my children a complete home. So...... I'd rather not touch marriage, that's all. That's my bottom line! ”

Christine suddenly became stunned, and then looked at Zhen Fan very seriously.

"What do you want to say? Zhen, I know what you think, so ...... If I really want to marry you, I'll think about it carefully...... Complete family, yes, I've got to haode to think about it! ”

Zhen Fan suddenly laughed: "Did I say I wanted to marry you?" ”

Christine immediately blushed and couldn't help but scold: "You're a bastard!" ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to hit Zhen Fan's shoulder, but Zhen Fan ran away and said to Christine Daxiao, "What if...... If you can hit me, I'll probably think about it! ”

"Damn ......"

Christine was angry, chased after Zhen Fan, raised her hand, and the two of them chased around the yard, and the yard was full of sprinkled sounds of playfulness and laughter.

Suddenly, the church bell rang.

"Zhen—"

Christine suddenly became stunned, she looked at the night sky stupidly, as if the most beautiful dream was hidden there, and leaned up on her slender and white neck, like a proud swan.

"What?"

Zhen Fan also looked at Christine strangely.

"Listen, bells—"

"Yes, I heard you!" Zhen Fan obviously hasn't reacted yet, after all, it's the first time to spend Christmas, and he doesn't have that kind of subconscious behavior.

Zhen Fan approached Christine and stood side by side with her.

"Boom-"

There was a loud bang in the sky, and a ceremonial flower suddenly bloomed in the sky, sparks and sparks, like the most beautiful flowers in the sky.

The first ceremonial flower woke up the night sky, and suddenly remembered that the night sky flashed with radiant light, and in the bright fireworks, Christine suddenly wrapped her hands around Zhen Fan's waist, raised her face, and the bright light of the ceremonial flower flashed in her eyes.

"Zhen—"

"What?"

Zhen Fan looked down at the girl's delicate face reflected in the light of the flowers.

"I love you!"

"Wait!" Zhen Fan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "I have to turn on the recording function on my phone, okay, Christine, you say it again now!" Zhen Fan pretended to take out his mobile phone, jumped on the video function, and pointed it at Christine's mouth.

"You're a bastard!"

Christine's emotions that had finally been brewing suddenly disappeared, and as soon as she twisted her waist, she walked towards the house.

"That's not it, Christine, don't fool me, that's not what I wanted to hear just now, there's a word 'love' in it, Christine-"

Zhen Fan screamed proudly behind her, shaking his phone...... (To be continued......)
