Brian put away his phone and said, "BOSS, I have something to go first, so I won't get the basement first, and the materials will be put in the warehouse for the time being." ”

"Don't worry, if you have something urgent, go ahead first." Gu Ren didn't hear Brian's conversation, he just thought that there was something going on at home.

"Then I'll go back first, and I'll leave the closing of the night to Dodge."

Brian waved his hand, turned around and quickly left.

Looking at the back of the departing figure, Gu Ren undoubtedly walked into the repair shop, preparing to stay here today, and inspect their work by the way.

……

"I disagree!"

Brian rejected his daughter's request to travel to France with her best friend.

Kenm's face changed and changed, from the joy of sharing before, to the red of his little face now.

She didn't expect that her father, who had always doted on her, would refuse her to travel abroad, and it was her mother who usually sang black faces, why was it her father's turn today?

Kenm exclaimed, "Daddy, how can you do this! Mommy has already agreed to let us travel abroad. ”

Brian didn't have to discuss, and refused again: "Your mommy agrees, but I don't agree, it's not okay, it's very unsafe for you two girls to travel abroad." ”

The ex-wife, who was sitting on the side, frowned slightly when she heard Brian's words, and just wanted to say something, but considering that this was a conversation between father and daughter, she had to continue listening with a displeased face.

Kenm looked at his mother, then turned to his father, and opened his mouth to try to persuade his father, "Very safe father, you know that friend of mine, it is Amanda, her cousin lives in Paris, France, and we will live directly in Amanda's cousin's house after we pass, if you don't believe me, you can call Amanda and ask." ”

Brian saw her daughter's insistence on traveling to France, and knew that blindly refusing could easily backfire, so she had to change her tone and say, "Honey, why do you want to go to France?" If you want to travel, I can take you and your mommy back to our hometown in California, where there are several national parks, and we can camp and barbecue. ”

"What's so fun in California! Paris has the Louvre, the Picasso Museum, and the Impressions Museum. ”

"When did you become so interested in art?"

"I've always loved that."

The daughter stubbornly raised her chin, as if she was arguing with herself, Brian didn't want to destroy her always gentle image in front of her daughter, so she sighed slightly and said: "That's it, I'll go with you, I will never disturb you and Amanda when the time comes, I am very good at being invisible, believe me, you will never find out my existence." ”

"Oh, please Daddy, this is my girl trip with Amanda, what's the matter with you? Amanda would laugh at me for being a milky north-nosed person. Kem felt like he was going crazy, and his father wanted to travel with him and his girlfriends.

Like most adolescent girls, they don't want to travel with their parents, they want to go out alone with their friends, so that there are no constraints or constraints.

"Can't you just worry less about snacks?" The ex-wife finally couldn't help but exclaim: "Kem is seventeen years old, and she will be an adult in another year, you can't restrain her and reject her ideas like you did when you were a child." ”

Brian looked at his ex-wife with a tangled face, and then turned his head to look at his daughter's little face that was about to cry, from the bottom of his heart he didn't want his daughter to travel to France, but his ex-wife was right, Kenm was seventeen years old, and after she turned eighteen this year, she no longer needed him, the father, to sign any minor custody law for her.

Seeing his entanglement in the early stage, he continued: "Brian, sign it, Kenm is seventeen years old, and I also asked Amanda's parents, Amanda's cousin is indeed in Paris, and also invited Amanda to spend the summer vacation there this year. ”

Brian's brow furrowed for a moment and soothed for a while, and after half a minute, in the anticipation of his daughter Kem, he shook his head again and said, "I still have to think about it." ”

"Oh my God, I'm seventeen." Kenm finally covered her face and cried, she felt like a bird imprisoned in a cage, trying to fly higher and farther, but was choked by a pair of big hands by fate.

Seeing his daughter crying, Brian clenched his fists, took out a small box from his pocket, and said lovingly to his daughter: "Don't cry Kem, Daddy has a gift for you, which was originally intended to be given to you for your birthday." ”

"I don't need to! By the time I turn eighteen, you'll never be able to control me anymore. Kem wept and turned and ran away.

His ex-wife glanced at him, sighed deeply, and said, "Brian, do you know why I want to divorce you?" It's because of your damn desire to control, Kenm is seventeen years old, she's not a kid anymore, she needs her own personal space, and if it weren't for the fact that the law requires a parent's signature, I would never see you again. ”

After saying that, she hurriedly took her bag and followed her daughter who was leaving.

Looking at the back of his ex-wife and daughter leaving, Brian sat in the corner of the fast food restaurant of Nuoda in disappointment, his lonely figure seemed so out of place with the noisy crowd around him.

It's been a long time.

He looked down at the autograph sheet on the table, sighed helplessly again, picked up the gel pen on the table, and quickly wrote his name on the signature column.

……

New York International Airport.

Kem, who was about to travel to Paris, France with her best friend, was in a happier mood, she hugged her best friend's arm and began to whisper, and then the two girls laughed happily, as if they had talked about something interesting and happy.

Not long after, when the flight to Paris was announced, Kem hugged his mother for a while, then turned around and hugged his father and said, "Thank you, Daddy." ”

Brian patted her daughter on the back, let go of her, and said seriously, "Don't forget our agreement." ”

Kenm said happily, "Of course, three conditions. The address where I live and the telephone, who to go out with and where to go out, and I have to call you before going to bed at night. ”

"Just remember." Brian was relieved to see that her daughter had always remembered it.

Kem looked at his watch, time was running out.

She immediately shouted, "Okay Daddy, Mommy, let's go first, and I'll come back to bring you gifts." ”

Watching her daughter and her friend walk into the airport aisle, Brian sighed and turned her head to see his ex-wife with the same reluctance.

……

A few days later.

The basement of the speed repair shop.

Looking at the shooting training ground that he had renovated with his own hands, Gu Ren nodded with satisfaction.

Although this underground training ground is not as large as the shooting club, it is better than no one else, and the soundproofing effect is also very good, so you can finally practice guns alone without being disturbed in the future.

Immediately, he shouted happily, "Brian, let's go out for a drink later, and celebrate the completion of the celebration." ”

"No problem, though...... Wait, I'll answer the phone first. ”

Brian felt the phone vibrate in his trouser pocket, said wait, and pulled out his phone and picked it up.

Before he could speak, he heard a young girl on the phone shouting, "Daddy, save my daddy!" ”
