Three days later.

While chatting with Cooper in the office, Mark receives a call from his fiancée.

Tony has been out of danger for the time being.

However, he still needs to stay in the hospital for three months to ensure that his condition does not recur.

Because it was a work injury, Tony should not have been discharged from the hospital with nothing......

After hanging up the phone.

Debbie knocked on the door from the outside and delivered the ticket she had just picked up to Mark.

The flight is from New York JFK Airport to Salt Lake City, Utah.

No way.

If you want to marry someone else's daughter, you always need to ask for a future ...... Father-in-law can only do it.

If you don't ask for instructions, you can get a certificate directly, which is called elopement.

Mark was dismissive.

Yes.

That's right!

Three days ago, Mark and Kate snuggled up to each other and watched Tony, who was struggling to survive like a salted fish in the isolation ward.

Caterton is impermanent with life.

Plus Mark came up with a solution at the time.

Directly taking advantage of the danger of others, he once again knelt on Kate's knees.

and said to Tony, who was already weak, that when he recovered, he could become Mark's best man.

As for the chief groomsman?

Don't think about it.

The best man is the one who can decide what to do for the groom's bachelor night without any decision.

The end result was good.

I don't know why, my fiancée didn't want to talk about it this time, but chose to agree after ten seconds of reserve, in order to keep Mark from being embarrassed in the hospital room.

Thereupon.

The agenda for placing the future father-in-law and mother-in-law and asking for their consent was put on the agenda.

Kate wanted to take Mark over for a visit.

But there are only a few people in the Gibbs squad, and Tony is injured at work, leaving Kate and the rookie McGee.

It's ......

Mark briefly handed over his work to Deputy Chief Cooper and then left for the airport.

There he will take a nonstop flight to Utah.

……

Out of the Salt Lake City International Airport lobby.

Mark caught the first glimpse of ...... crouching in front of a black SUV Kate's sister, the big Kate who specializes in psychology.

Mark was uncomfortable.

I talked to my fiancée before I got on the plane.

He went to the meeting alone without the company of Big Kate.

It turns out to be ......

Thinking to himself, Mark's walking speed slowed down slightly.

Big Kate noticed that Mark said directly and unceremoniously: "What? Surprised to see me? ”

Mark nodded heartily.

Mark swears to heaven that nothing unspeakable is between him and Big Kate.

It's just that.

When Big Kate was working as a psychotherapist, there were five or six ex-girlfriends who had been treated by Big Kate......

Big Kate smiled directly, opened the car door and said, "Get in the car, they're all waiting for you." ”

“…… They? ”

Mark paused, and suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to go alone.

Turning his head to look at the airport hall.

Is it too late to wait for my fiancée to come over after I go back now?

An hour later.

Under the skilful control of Grand Kate, the black SUV is firmly parked on the side of the road of a single-family building in a typical neighborhood.

Mark gets out of the car.

The small gravel leading to the house is lined with a variety of flowers and plants.

Just look at that.

Mark felt as if he knew why his fiancée liked to grow flowers and plants.

It's hereditary.

"Let's go." After locking the car door, Big Kate said to Mark.

Mark nodded.

It's all here, and I can't go back if I want to.

Saying?

I guess it's okay to make a phone call.

Mark suddenly thought to himself.

After entering the door.

At first glance, Mark saw the handsome middle-aged old man sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing glasses and cross-legged, looking at the handsome middle-aged man who kept it.

Of course, this handsome is only relative to the average level.

Compare it to Mark.

That's ugly.

"Mark, long time no see."

"Vader, long time no see."

After smiling and hugging Kate's mom Vader, Mark walked straight to the handsome old guy on the couch.

Here though he came for the first time.

But Kate's mother, Vida, and her father, Sapir, are meeting for the second time.

The first time we met was in Washington.

At that time, Mark wanted to go out, and Kate's parents wanted to come in......

"Mr. Todd, long time no see." Mark smiled at Sapir Todd on the couch and held out his right hand.

Sapir glanced away from the newspaper and glanced at Mark, then shook Mark's hand with a blank face.

One-touch release.

Mark still had a smile on his face.

Boy.

This is the end of the shelf......

Mark sat down on the couch across from Sapir and decided to get straight to the point.

If you finish talking early and go back early, you should be able to catch the last flight to New York.

Subsequently.

Mark opened his mouth and said, "Mr. Todd, I have come this time to ask you to agree to my wedding to Kate. ”

Sapir on the opposite side did not squeak.

Mark is already pondering the possibility of Kate eloping with him if the talks fall apart.

When Kate's mother Vader, who was watching not far away, saw this and was about to come over to relieve the siege, Kate, who was drinking water next to her, directly pulled Vida away.

Big Kate has one opinion anyway.

From the first time I saw Mark, there was a lot of hostility.

For Big Kate, after all.

Mark is a real being who has not seen his name before anyone has heard of him.

And this reputation is very bad.

Very bad.

In the early days of Mark's relationship with Kate, Big Kate had already done ideological work with Kate more than once.

From all angles and aspects, Mark is not a good fit for Kate.

It's just that out of professional ethics and the Patient-Doctor Protection Treaty, Kate the Big can't tell Kate about Mark's history outright......

There was a pause.

Mr. Todd, across from Mark, seemed to have finished reading the newspaper.

With a smile on Mark's face, he was still thinking about elopement, and he slowly sorted out the newspaper in his hand.

It's really slow.

It took nearly two minutes for Mr. Todd to put the newspaper in order, which was only four or five pages.

Put the newspaper aside.

Mr. Todd nodded at Mark without a smile.

Mark was stunned.

Is this agreed?

Or agreed?

“…… Mr. Todd, do you agree? Mark wanted to make sure, after all, Mr. Todd's attitude was very unusual just now.

"Why not?"

Mr. Todd opened his mouth with a magnetic and still rigid face, and said without smiling: "The seat of the FBI in New York State, I have no reason to disagree. ”

Mark smiled modestly.

Before Mark was a little proud.

The next second.

Mr. Todd spoke again, "If I don't agree, I'm afraid Director Louis will find a way to trouble us, after all, Clark is a criminal middleman." ”

“…… Clarke? ”

When Mark fell into a little sluggishness, Kate, who was watching the play next to him, said with a smile: "I forgot to tell you, my dad was the top identity builder of the CIA before he retired." ”

Mark: "......"
