Chapter 229: The Hawkens
When they came, she announced, "I'm tired of being here and only parrying and not fighting back." I want to pick out the five or six victims who are most likely to be attacked, the people who posted posts and scolded Travis in the most vicious terms, and the hardcore supporters of Chilton. We're going to get them out of the area and then set up surveillance near their house or apartment. He's already thinking about his next target, and I want him to give him a dismount as soon as he shows up. Let's do it. ”
"Is he standing up?" Lily asked her husband Donald.
"James? He didn't say anything, but his life would be hard for Patria too, dare I say. ”
They were in a cosy room in their new home in Monterrey. Endless unpacking, unpacking, unpacking......
This small woman with blonde hair stood in the center of the room, her legs slightly apart, looking at the curtains of two plastic bags, "What do you think?",
Hawken was a little overwhelmed at this point, and he cared a lot about the window decorations. But his wife, who had only been married for nine months and three days, had already taken on a lot of responsibilities to move here from San Diego, so he put down the tools for assembling the coffee table, went from the red to the brown, and looked back again.
"The ones on the left." He was ready to correct it as soon as he was reminded, if the answer was incorrect.
But apparently not wrong. "That's where I used to lean," she said, "and the police arranged a security guard at his house?" They think the boy was going to attack him?"
Hawken reassembled the table, it was IKEA. It's terrible, and their designers are too smart. He doesn't think so. But you know James. Even if he thinks so, he is not the kind of person who runs into the mountains and hides. ”
Lily, he thought to himself, didn't really understand Chilton; She hadn't even met him before, but she knew a thing or two about this friend from his mouth.
It's just as he learned about every aspect of her life through chats, small details, and speculation. The reason for this life is inseparable from the following circumstances - both of them are remarried; He had just come out of the shadow of grief, and she had just gone through the tricky divorce process. They were introduced by a friend and started dating. At first they were wary, but almost at the same time they realized how much they longed for each other
Nickname and warmth. Hawken, who had never thought of remarrying, proposed to her six months later at a sand-covered rooftop beach bar at a motel in downtown San Diego, and he didn't have the patience to find a more suitable environment.
However, Lily described the proposal as the most romantic thing she could think of. A large diamond ring with a white ribbon was placed on the neck of her Budweiser bottle. Seeing this, she agreed.
Now they're back in Monterrey and starting a new life.
Hawken assessed his situation. Friends told him it wasn't the same to remarry after losing his spouse. If he loses his wife and lives alone, his life will change radically, and he will no longer have the feeling of youth that is full of cells all over his body. You need to be accompanied by someone and you need to be passionate all the time. But the relationship is essentially limited to friendship.
However, he was wrong. It's not just about being youthful, it's about meaning so much more. In his marriage to Sarah, they love each other very much. Sara is beautiful and has a bit of charm, and whoever falls in love with her will love her to death. Hawken used to love like that.
But his love for Lily is just as strong.
Well, he eventually touched on the topic, and that was his admission that sex with Lily was better, in the sense that it was much more comfortable. Sarah's performance in bed, to be honest, is not easy to parry, if to put it mildly. Hawken almost laughed out loud as he recalled some scenes from the past.
He didn't know how Lily felt about the couple James and Patria. Hawken told her that they used to be very close friends, that the two couples often got together, that they would be there for their respective children's school events or what sports their children were involved in, that they would also go to dance parties together and eat barbecues together...... He noticed that Lily's smile changed slightly as he told her about his past.
But he reassured her that Chilton was also a little strange to him. Since Sarah's death, Hawken has been depressed and has lost contact with almost all of his friends.
But now he's going back to his normal life. He and Lily were about to clean up the house and pick up the kids. They also live with their grandparents in Ensiatas. He was going back to the pleasant everyday life on the peninsula, which had stuck in his memory for years. He reconnects with his best friend Chilton, rejoins the country club, and sees all his friends again.
Yes, this step is the right one. But dark clouds have also appeared. It seemed small and short-lived to him, but it was a flaw after all.
When he came to the place where he and Sara had lived, it was as if a part of her had been resurrected in his heart. Memories poured out like fireworks.
It was in this part of Monterrey that Sara was once a thoughtful hostess, a passionate art collector, and a shrewd businesswoman.
It was here that Sara was once a charming, energetic, and loving lover.
It was here that Sara put on a wet warm wetsuit to fight the wind and waves, and when she came out of the water, although she shivered from the cold, she was still very excited, unlike her last swim, near La Jolla, she did not climb out of the water, but floated to the shore, limp limbs, eyes open but blank, the temperature of the sea was as high as her body temperature was.
Thinking of this, Hawken's heart beat faster. Then he took a few deep breaths and brushed the memories aside.
"Want to help?" He looked at Lily and the curtains.
The wife stopped and put down what she was doing. She walked over and took one of his hands and placed it on the V-shaped piece of skin under her throat. She kissed him affectionately.
They smiled at each other. The wife went back to the window.
Hawken finished assembling the fiberglass steel table and pulled it in front of the couch.
"Honey?" The meter was hanging in Lily's hand, and she was looking out the window.
"What's the matter?"
"I feel like there's someone there."
"Where? Is it in the backyard?"
"I don't know if it's in our yard. It's on the outside of the hedge. ”
"Someone is in someone else's yard." On the central coast of the state, it is difficult to buy half an inch of land in this place
