Chapter 60: Alas, woman
"Carl, why are you standing outside? Your mother and I almost called the police!"
A voice reached Carl's ear, and when he turned around, Nick was standing across the street looking at him.
Then, he turned back and shouted into the villa behind him.
"Honey, don't call the police, I found him!"
"Oh my God!!"
A scream rang out from the villa. Then, not long after, Louise burst out of it.
Following the direction of her husband's finger, she finally saw Carl and hurriedly ran over to hold him in her arms.
"Oh, dear! Your father and I thought you had been robbed!"
Carl Louise was so clung to his chest that he was a little out of breath.
"Honey, I think you'd better be smaller. Nick whispered beside him that Louise was like a lioness guarding her cubs, and Nick was afraid of being angry.
Louise also reacted and quickly let go of Carl.
"Honey, I didn't hurt you. She said.
"No, no. Carl took a few deep breaths and waved his hand.
"Let's go, let's go home! Your dad and I bought you a bunch of Christmas presents for you to check out in advance. β
Louise grabbed Carl's hand and headed home.
Not noticing the people standing next to them, Edward Jacob, as if they didn't exist.
"That ......," Jacob couldn't help but make a sound.
Louise was stunned for a moment, then turned around, as if she had just seen the four of them, and said in surprise.
"It's you?!"
"Hello, Mrs. Cooper. Jacob said embarrassedly.
......
28 Hadlow Road, living room, sofa.
"So, you're here to invite us to the wedding. Nick asked, looking at the four people sitting across from him.
"Yes. Jacob nodded.
"You haven't given a reply, and we thought the invitation had been sent to the wrong place, so we had to come in person. Edward added.
"Can you tell me what your situation is?"
Looking at Edward, who was holding Bella in his arms, Louise asked cautiously.
Like Carl, both she and Nick were a little confused.
"It's the Volturi family. Edward said bitterly.
"They made excuses that Bella was converted without permissionβ"
Alice said, "This happens from time to time, but the Volturi family has always turned a blind eye. β
"The real reason is that Arrow has taken a fancy to Bella's abilities. β
Edward nodded.
"Once the Volturi family sees someone's ability, they will always find an opportunity to start a war and take the opportunity to eliminate dissent. β
"Arro has long regarded the Karen family as a threat, Carlisle has too many friends, he has long wanted to get rid of us, but he has never had a chance, but this time, his excuses are sufficient. β
As he spoke, Edward looked at Karl and pleaded:
"We're desperate, that's why we're coming to you. β
Carl nodded, these were all expected by him, but the question was.
"What does this have to do with weddings?" he asked.
Edward and Alice looked at each other and said.
"This method was found by Carlisle, who found a loophole in the law. β
"Once a vampire joins another organization that they recognize, she is no longer under the jurisdiction of House Volturi. β
As he spoke, he glanced at Jacob.
"The wolf clan fits the bill perfectly. β
"And the only way to join the wolf clan," Jacob said to Carl as he sat down next to him, took Bella's hand, and gave Edward a demonstrative look.
"It's marriage. β
Edward didn't stop Jacob, but he hugged Bella a little tighter, as if he were saying to Carl, but his eyes were on Jacob.
"It's just a nominal wedding, Carlisle is looking for allies everywhere and hopefully they'll speak for us then, but we need someone who can calm down and talk to us. Instead of waging war directly against us as soon as it comes up. β
"We need a witness. Alice concluded.
As she spoke, she and Edward looked at Carl at the same time.
"Of all the people we know, there is no better fit than you. β
The living room fell silent for a moment, and the four people on the other side were waiting for Carl's reply, while Nick and Louise digested what Edward had just said.
As for Karl.
His gaze lingered over Edward and Jacob's heads.
I don't know if it's an illusion, but he actually saw a green light above the heads of two people at the same time.
Logically not, right?
It's just that Edward has the top of his head, why does Jacob have the top of his head?
The living room was quiet for a while, and Carl didn't speak because he was looking at the aurora.
Nick and Louise took advantage of the moment to make eye contact.
Eventually, Nick said, "Well, can you give our family of three a little time?"
......
On the second floor, Carl's room, a family of three.
Louise whispered, "Use your magic, dear, or they will hear." β
Carl looked at her in surprise, it seemed that in order to acquire Jokowi, the two of them had done a lot of homework about the wizarding world.
With a wave of his wand, Carl placed a soundproof cover on the room.
Seeing this, Louise immediately straightened her face, seemed to begin to exercise her power as a mother, and said bluntly: "Carl, that wedding, I don't allow you to go!"
She seemed to be a little hysterical, talking to herself.
"It's too dangerous, that Volturi family doesn't look like they're keeping to themselves when they hear it!"
At this time, Nick said next to him: "Honey, Carl has grown up, and there are some things that he should make his own decisions. β
"You agree with your son going on an adventure?"
Louise stared at her husband so hard that Nick shuddered and forced a smile, "How come?" I just think it's better for Carl to decide this kind of thing, after all, he's so old." β
"That won't do either!" Louise flatly denied.
"Everything else is easy to discuss, but this one can't do it!"
"But you can't care about him for the rest ......of your life," Nick said with a sigh of relief.
"I'm going to take care of him for the rest of my life, what's wrong?" Louise yelled.
At this point, Nick didn't dare to speak.
Changing her face, Louise turned to Carl and said gently, "Honey, promise Mom, don't go." β
Carl looked at him helplessly, "When did I say I would go?"
To be honest, he really wanted to join in the fun.
After all, a vampire's wedding isn't something everyone can see, let alone a wolf.
However, he was still going to refuse.
For no other reason, he's lazy.
Louise was stunned for a moment, then immediately showed a happy expression on her face, leaned over and hugged Carl fiercely, and kissed him several times on the face.
"Honey, you're Mommy's little angel!" she said happily.
"I'll buy you a few more Christmas gifts tomorrow!" You don't know, your dad and I have already picked out a lot of gifts for you, and we're waiting to deliver them tomorrow!"
And just like that, Louise began to babble excitedly, snapping her fingers like a few treasures, and introducing them to Carl one by one.
Karl didn't dare to disturb her, and glanced at Nick, who was sitting next to her.
Both sighed at the same time.
Alas, woman.
