McGonagall and her party made it back to the City of Chaos, the state of emergency had been lifted, and for most of the ordinary residents, they had only been at home for two days, and they couldn't wait to go out into the streets to forage for food and prevent the wind after the ban was lifted.

Looking at the closure announcement still hanging at the door of Maimi's restaurant, the diners who came specially could only sigh and go to Mairui hot pot to eat hot pot.

"City Lord, Boss Mai has refused the request to charter the venue again." Dix walked quickly into the city lord's office and said as he looked at Michael, who was standing by the window.

"The expected answer." Michael smiled.

"But many of the delegates wanted to go to McMie's to celebrate the event, and now ......," Dix was a little worried.

"This is our request, and Boss Mai has the right to refuse, without conflict." Michael smiled and shook his head, "The celebration dinner will be arranged in the banquet hall of the City Lord's Mansion, and the chef of the Dukas Restaurant will be invited to take charge of the dishes. ”

"Did you invite Mr. Alex?" Dicks then asked.

"You can deliver the invitation to Irina, and it's up to them to decide whether to come or not."

"Okay." Dix turned and walked away.

"It is too much to ask the most important protagonist of this celebration banquet to cook for everyone." Michael smiled and shook his head, thinking that tonight's McMie Restaurant would have a smaller, but more delicious, celebration party.

……

There will indeed be a banquet at Maimie's Restaurant tonight, but it is not a celebration banquet, but a welcome banquet for Anne's children who have just arrived at the restaurant.

Anne and Amy were playing in the playroom on the second floor, and the ladies went back to the dormitory to take a shower and change their clothes.

So McGonagall was alone in the kitchen preparing for the dinner party in the evening.

He was still thinking about how to talk to Irina about adopting Anne, but after Irina returned to the restaurant, she found a letter out of nowhere, looked at him with a smile and said, "I picked it up under the crack in the door yesterday, and I read it." ”

McGonagall only glanced at the words on the envelope to determine that the letter was written by Gloria, her eyelids jumped wildly, and her smile stiffened slightly, "Miss Gloria and I are just ordinary work partners. ”

"Ordinary work partners, can you already see each other's handwriting at a glance?" Irina's smile widened, "Or rather, this is not the first such letter. ”

"Uh......" McGonagall choked, and sometimes it didn't seem like a good thing to have a good memory.

He wasn't quite sure what Gloria had written in the letter, but Miss Gloria was a well-educated lady, and perhaps she was looking for him in a hurry, and it happened that he wasn't in the restaurant yesterday, so he had this letter.

"I've read her handwriting, you know, I have a good memory." McGonagall's expression became calm, and the relationship between him and Gloria was very pure anyway.

"Well, she's a nice girl, and she didn't forget to remind you to leave the City of Chaos when she left." Irina placed the letter lightly on the table.

"That doesn't seem like I'm good......" McGonagall was slightly embarrassed, after all, he had only thought of everyone in the restaurant when he got the news yesterday.

Irina smiled, looked McGonagall up and down, and said with some doubts, "Your strength has not only recovered, but has also gone further?" ”

"I was struck by lightning, and when I came back to my senses, that's it, and now I can almost open five or five with that octopus monster in the seal." McGonagall smiled lightly.

Irina looked at McGonagall's smile, but the smile on her face faded, and her hand slowly lifted and gently placed it on McGonagall's face, staring at him for a long time.

McGonagall felt the cold fingertips slip across her cheeks, but her heart warmed.

"Next time, I won't allow you to be reckless."

"Hmm." McGonagall nodded slightly.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little more beautiful, and McGonagall looked at Irina's beautiful face, and her cheeks seemed to have a hint of pink, which was a rare shyness.

"Michael invited us to the celebration party." Irina withdrew her hand, looking a little uncomfortable.

"Let's not go, I've already told them tonight to have dinner in the dining room and give Anne a welcome dinner." McGonagall laughed and shook her head.

"Annie?" Irina frowned.

"I was about to tell you about it, I went through the thunderstorm with the octopus monster in the morning, and the last thunderstorm almost didn't survive, I didn't think that the octopus monster was struck by the thunderbolt and a little girl, and she rescued me.

If the octopus monster is the embodiment of evil, then she is the embodiment of goodness, and the octopus monster wanted to kill her, so I took her out of the cave.

Her mind is similar to that of a newborn child, she is kind-hearted, and now she has no relatives and no reason, and she is my life-saving benefactor, so I want to adopt her and raise her to adulthood. I named her Annie. McGonagall looked at Irina with a sincere expression.

Adopting Anne was McGonagall's decision, but he hoped to be understood and accepted by Irina.

Irina didn't speak for a long time, just stared into McGonagall's eyes.

McGonagall was stared at a little hairy.

"Isn't it really the kid you got out there with another woman behind my back?" Irina's gaze was a little dangerous.

"You can verify that for yourself, she's playing with Amy upstairs right now." McGonagall said with a calm face.

Irina immediately turned and walked towards the stairs, and walked briskly up the second floor.

McGonagall followed her.

Irina stood at the door of the playhouse, looking at the girl who was standing quietly watching Amy play with the ugly duckling, and her eyes showed a little surprise.

The girl looked twelve or thirteen years old, with a delicate face and a tall and thin figure, and what was more striking was the holy temperament.

She had never seen such a clean person, like the morning dew shining with the glory of the morning sun on the young leaves on the top of the treetops, and it seemed that there was not the slightest smell of fireworks.

With just one glance, she was sure that McGonagall wasn't lying.

After all, eleven or twelve years ago, he was still serving in the army on the border of the Los Empire.

Moreover, such a clean and pure person. It wasn't supposed to be of this world.

Anne heard the voice, turned her head to look at the door, and smiled politely.

"Mother!" Amy dropped the toy in her hand and threw herself into Irina's arms, and then couldn't wait to introduce her: "This is Sister Annie, my father said that she would live with us in the future, although she has no way to speak now, but she is really a very gentle sister, even the ugly duckling likes her." ”

Irina listened to Amy's words, and a smile appeared on her face, and she stepped forward and hugged Anne gently, smiling and whispering in her ear, "Thank you, Anne." ”

Anne looked at her with a smile still on her face.

"Looks like there's no problem." McGonagall shrugged her shoulders and turned downstairs to continue preparing dinner.
