5 Grande's Family
Drake sat awkwardly in a pile of Indians, holding a steaming teacup. He looked around, women wore intricately patterned shawls, and men wore polo ties. It was a gathering of Indoans, and what Drake knew was that the Hurricanes had just returned from their trip and had invited their friends to share their travels.
If it had been like this, Drake wouldn't have been so restless. The zealous Lady Breeze also wants to do Drake a favor with this gathering of people.
Drake finds Sbella in the kitchen. Raising his hand, he forcibly filled the cup with some hot tea, raised his hand to the Indian man next to him, and pointed to the empty cup, "Hehe, I'll go and have another cup, hehe, do you need it?"
The people around took a look at this guy who obviously didn't belong here, and didn't bother to bother.
Derek didn't hesitate any longer, quickly stood up, and walked to the kitchen.
"Ah, Drake. Sbella was visiting the snacks on the silver plate when she saw Drake coming over and smiled, "Everyone has arrived, let's go and bring snacks to everyone." ”
"Ah, about this ......" Drake put down the glass, embarrassed by the woman in front of him, and lowered his voice, "Do I have to stay here?" He saw that Sbella's face began to have doubts, and quickly pressed Sbella's shoulder, "Oh, Lady Wind, don't get me wrong......"
Derek looked at the Indians in the living room, turned around, and said to Sbella seriously, "I'm very grateful to Madame for letting me ride as a stranger, and I'm very grateful to Madame for letting me stay temporarily, and of course I'm very, very grateful to Madame for being willing to help me, but I don't think I should continue to bother......"
Sbella smiled, her thin palm slapped on Drake's arm, "Oh~" the tone turned, "What a nice boy, I'd be happy to help." Sbella smiled. "It's not a hassle! I'm glad you're here. ”
Drake had an indescribable feeling that he wasn't young, and that title was rarely used on him anymore, "Ah, thank you. But Madame, I ......."
"Come on!" Silbella grabbed Drake's arm and headed for the living room. "Can you help me with the plate?"
"Uh, okay. Realizing that he couldn't get away, Derick reluctantly picked up the plate and kept smiling so as not to embarrass the kind woman.
"Has everybody arrived?" asked Sbella, as she walked into the crowded living room, looking left and right like her master.
"The walker hasn't arrived yet. Corden glanced at it and replied.
"Oh, hehe. Sbella put her arm around Drake. Patting the other person's arm, "He's always late." Let's wait a little longer. ”
Drake stared at a room full of Indians, smiled uncomfortably, and was pushed back into his seat by Sbella.
The atmosphere was a little weird, and many people looked at Drake with puzzled eyes, and then turned to Sbella. They're all wondering one thing, what is this guy doing here?
The door was pushed open, and a well-dressed man stepped inside. Except for a face that was clearly Indian. His attire didn't fit in with the people here. Glancing at the already full living room, he nodded and nodded to someone he knew. Finally, with a less friendly expression, he looked at the owner in the middle, Sibella, "Hurricane, I'm here." ”
Steve Walker stood directly in the doorway, seemingly with no intention of really entering, "I don't care what you're going to do, I've got something to do when I'm done." He raised his hand. made a urging gesture.
Drake finally found a guy who didn't want to stay here either, but unfortunately also an Indian.
"Oh, Steve!" Sbella stood up, "Can you be polite? Don't you see we have another guest here?" she pointed to Drake, who had an embarrassed expression.
"Don't call me Steve. Walker!" Steve frowned, "I don't know you that well. But Steve's gaze fell on Drake's face. Aside from the obvious embarrassment, this is a face that shouldn't be on such an occasion, "Who is this?"
Sbella smiled and pulled Radrick, "Oh! look at me, I haven't been officially introduced. Actually, while everyone is here today, I would like to ask you to do me a favor!"
Drake was pulled by Sbella, and stood up uncomfortably, a dozen pairs of deep (the outline of the Indians) stared at him, making him unconsciously nervous, "Hey!" He waved at everyone first, "I'm Drake, Drake Grande......"
"Wait. Interrupted by Steve, who was standing in the doorway reluctant to step in, he stretched out his arm and waved, his face full of confusion, "What did you say? Grande?"
"Do you know Grande?" Drake looked at the other man, so he ignored the Indians who were around him and began to exchange glances with each other.
Before Steve could continue to ask, Drake was pinned away by Sbella and smiled, "Look, I'm suing you, more people are helpful, right! We'll help you find your family!"
Drake opened his mouth, then forced a smile, "yes, I ......"
Sbella seemed pleased and raised her voice, "Drake is here to find family at Barton!"
Drake was even more embarrassed, standing in the middle of a bunch of Indians looking at each other.
"Oh!" Sbella patted Drake's arm, "I know, I know. She used the conniving expression that the elders would often show to the juniors, "Go, go, go, I know you don't have the heart to stay here, go, go and ask the walker who doesn't want to stay here, Grande, you can thank me later!"
Then Sbella pushed Drake in the direction of the door.
Drake hesitantly walked past the crowded Indians, glanced at Sbella, the overly enthusiastic old woman, still said thank you against her will, and walked towards Steve, who was frowning.
Steve looked at the smile that Sbella deliberately put on his face, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he opened the door again, and picked up Drake who came over, "Let's talk outside." ”
The Tempest's house was the same as when they left, with a squeaky front porch, mottled and peeling wall paint, and a small front yard that felt unusually prosperous under the weeds. The two stepped out, looking at the cars that had been parked all over the road, and Steve tilted his head towards a car at the end of the road, "Go to my car." ”
"Let's be clear!" Drake walked beside Steve, not bothering to look at the man, "Uh, Walker. Steve Walker, right?"
Steve tilted his head and looked at the other person, "Steve is fine." He added lightly, "If you're really Grande's, 'family'." ”
"Well, about this. Drake frowned. "First of all, I don't want to disturb Grande's life now, and I don't want to inquire about anything. I'm just coming to see, the man who made me. He tugged at the corners of his mouth, his voice narrowed, "Father, if you use common sense......
Steve looked at the strange-looking man, thought for a moment, and frowned. "What the hell are you?"
Strange way of questioning. What is it?vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters...... This is the real direction of Steve's problem. Let's take a look at the answer he received.
"Completely forgotten mongrels (bastards), obviously. Drake shook his head down, "Sbella told me that Grande is now run by two brothers. He paused for a moment, "Strictly speaking, I'm theirs, uh, brother." He shook his head again. "So, if you really want to go to them. It's up to me. ”
Drake glanced at Steve with a wry smile, "I guess you should be friends with them, right? I don't want them to have any bad impressions of me." So believe me, I don't want to ask their friends about anything. ”
Steve opened his mouth and nodded slowly, "Me." He thought for a moment, "Trust you." Get in. ”
Steve's car was a Jeep. The center of gravity is higher than that of an ordinary car, so that the vision of the two people in the car can pass over the roof of the entire street in front of them without hindrance, and take in the declining Paising.
The two men, who were already strangers, sat side by side in silence, looking around.
"You're not from Barton?" Steve began.
"Nope. No. Derek immediately replied, "First time at Barton." "Add," there is memory for the first time. ”
"Oh. Steve nodded, he wasn't sure what he was trying to get out of the other's mouth, but what he did know was that no matter what Sbella was paying attention to, the two of Grande weren't at all aware. He can walk away and ignore it completely, or he can do what any businessman should do, and look for benefits that he can take advantage of.
Steve waved his hand around, frowning and disgusted, "Here, this shabby place, can't represent Barton. Here it is......"
"Pai Siying. Drake seemed to realize the other party's intentions and smiled, "Sbella told me that this is not a prosperous place for Barton. ”
Steve leaned over and stared at Drake, "How did you meet Sbella?" he said, "Out of pure curiosity." ”
"Oh, this. Derek smiled, "They gave me a ride." If it weren't for them, I might have had to walk all night to get into Barton West. ”
"That's it?" Steve raised an eyebrow, "They picked you up on the side of the road?"
"Huh. Drake smiled, "You can say that. ”
Steve shook his head, "Don't you think there's anything strange about them?"
A strange look appeared on Drake's face, and after thinking about it for a moment, he remembered that this Steve didn't seem to like the Windwinds very much, so he smiled awkwardly, "Sorry, I don't feel anything." ”
"Hmph, I'll just tell you. Steve snorted, "Tempest isn't a good guy, you'd better stay away from them." ”
Derek frowned, "They're nice to me, overzealous, I'll admit it, but I don't think they're bad people." ”
Steve sneered, didn't say anything more, opened the small box in the middle of the seat, rummaged through it, and took out a business card, "If you want to visit Grande, you'd better hurry." I don't want to be the one who inexplicably leaks his mouth and tells them that they have a brother. ”
Drake took the business card, which had Zachary Grande's name and the address of Grande's funeral home.
"Thank you. Derek stared at the business card.
"And!" Steve suddenly remembered something, and in a mocking tone, "If you can, mention me, make it clear." I don't want the next time I see the two Grande brothers, I wonder if they've seen my brother. It's not good for friendship!"
Drick nodded understandingly. This kind of dramatic family incident is too easy for people to be distracted in their interactions. I don't know if Grande's brother Liang will be disgusted after knowing that he actually came into contact with their friend. Derek sighed helplessly, if only he hadn't met this overzealous couple last night.
Derek's mind saw an old car in the night, slowly stopping on the side of the road, and beckoning to him in a friendly way, who no longer knew how long he had been walking on the side of the road, "Young man, look at you! Tired! Go to Barton? You're so lucky to get in the car! The back seat is spacious enough for you to sleep comfortably!"
Derek smiled and shook his head, it's not bad, it should be lucky to meet such a kind person on the side of the road in the middle of the night. (To be continued......)
