Chapter Forty-Nine: Charles

The bell rang, and the small fence door outside the courtyard opened, and Leah threw herself at Victor with her arms outstretched, followed by a man and a woman.

"Hello, Dad!"

"Hello, my darling." Victor hugged Leah and kissed her on the cheek before letting go of her and asking suspiciously, "Why do you want to come back today, I don't remember that it's time for a holiday." ”

"I miss you, can't I?" Leah frowned as she said this, with a sly look, as Leah's father, Victor knew his daughter's old story very well.

"Okay, don't be afraid, your mother isn't home today."

At this time, a man and a woman behind her came over very neatly dressed and a little restrained, and after hearing that Emma was not at home, Leah introduced her two friends to Victor with some cheerfulness.

"I haven't introduced you yet, Dad, this is Charles, this is Raven."

With a meaningful smile, Victor looked at the man and the woman, making them look a little cramped.

Leah didn't care about this, and after the introduction, she asked Victor with some excitement, "How is the bear, I haven't seen it for a long time." ”

"It's good, it's just a little fat, I bought it a treadmill and let it exercise every day."

After Victor finished speaking, he saw Leah and the girl named Raven talking to each other, and then pulled Raven towards the house with a happy face, like a little girl who was eager to share happiness with her best friend, and said as she walked: "Follow me, I'll show you the bear, it's very cute." ”

The girl named Raven nodded politely to Victor and followed Leah into the room, and then heard the sound of something breaking in the room.

"Oh" Victor patted his head speechlessly and shouted into the room, "Give me the rules, or I'll roast you." ”

Then I heard the sound of shattering in the room stopping.

Victor then turned his head to look at the embarrassed man, parked the lawn mower aside, and then beckoned, "Come with me, you are Leah's friend, you don't need to be polite." ”

As he spoke, he walked in first, and this guy named Charles also followed in a restrained manner.

When he walked into the house, Victor really saw that the chandelier on the ceiling above his head was pregnant, and the cups on the table were broken, he turned his head to look at the culprit, only to see a fluffy squirrel on the track of the treadmill, dragging the big tail, drooping his ears, and running non-stop, in that pair of dark eyes, with a look of grievance, secretly looking at Victor, and then at the hostess Leah and the guest Raven sitting on the sand, looking pitiful, about to burst into tears.

Leah looked coquettish and said to Victor: "Dad, the bear is just a squirrel, how can you be so strict with it." ”

"Am I harsh?" Victor asked rhetorically, "If your mother sees it, I can guarantee that it will definitely shed a layer of skin." And it's very fat now, if you want to take it out to play, take it like a squirrel first, you see what it looks like now...... Don't be lazy, little one. ”

Victor pointed to the treadmill, standing like a human, running on two legs, two paws clutching the bear that Victor had specially made for a lower handle, it was lazy at the moment, thinking that his little hostess's words could save it from the terrible torture.

But apparently this was impossible, and after hearing Victor's words, the two fluffy legs moved quickly.

Satisfied, Victor went to the door and put away the broken glass with a broom, and said to Leah, "Go get some drinks for your friends, don't sit stupidly." ”

"Okay." Leah beckoned Charles and Raven to the sand, then went to the kitchen to fetch new cups and drinks, and greeted Victor who looked at the bear with an incredulous expression.

"Can it understand your father?" Charles looked surprised.

"Of course." Leah prepared juice for the two friends, brought it to the two of them, and said proudly: "I have been raising it for 15 years, and the little bear can understand the words of our family." ”

"15 years is a very long number." Charles said meaningfully.

After everything was cleaned up, Victor looked at the panting bear who was tired on the treadmill and said, "Okay, stop, for the sake of Leah's face when she comes back today." ”

When the bear heard this, the whole person (the squirrel) became energetic, and the legs with a strand of white hair jumped off the treadmill at once, and jumped into Leah's arms in a few steps, playing cute coquettishly, making Leah and Raven laugh happily.

Victor looked at the squirrel helplessly, walked to the sand next to him, and then said loudly to his daughter: "Okay, take a rest first, tell me who these two are, and what do you ask me to go home this time, and can't I tell your mother?" ”

Victor's words made the whole room quiet, and even the little bear felt the unusual atmosphere, lying in Leah's arms in a regular manner, Leah put on that coquettish expression and pointed to the two friends who were a little cramped and said: "This is Professor Charles, my professor of professional courses at Harvard University, and his girlfriend Raven." ”

"Oh...... They look so young. Victor pretended to be surprised, but the tone of indifference made everyone feel it.

At this time, Charles knew that he could no longer be silent, in fact, it was the first time he had faced such a thing.

So, he stopped Leah, who wanted to continue, and automatically said, "My name is Charles. Xavier, is a professor of genetics at Harvard University, and your daughter is my student. ”

"Not a girlfriend......?" Victor asked, raising his voice.

"Of course not." Charles looked surprised.

"That's good." Victor looked relaxed, "Then we can talk about the rest peacefully." ”

When Victor's words fell, Leah laughed and said to the golden girl beside her, "I said that if my father thought that Charles was my boyfriend, he would definitely jump on him." ”

"yes, thankfully we vetoed the plan!" Raven was also smiling happily, and seemed to like to see Charles make a fool of himself. Charles was embarrassed.

Victor had to say something to calm the mood.

"Okay, let's get down to business, I haven't finished mowing the lawn outside yet."

Charles nodded, and then spoke: "Actually, that's the case, we are on the way to become friends with your daughter, I mean ordinary friends, please don't get me wrong. ”

"Well, I know! Don't worry, I won't jump on you with a single shot. "Victor still looks strict.

Charles was speechless for a moment before continuing: "Our daughter is very special now......

"You boy, my daughter is beautiful, cute, and loving, of course very special, don't think you can approach her with this excuse." Victor said with a smile, getting Leah's approving gaze, and even the bear in her arms sneered, as if he was making fun of Charles.

"Alright, kid make a long story short!"

"Of course." Knowing that the person in front of him was Leah's father, Charles looked helpless, but it was not good to put on an impatient look, and he still said very enthusiastically.

"I'm talking about some very unique talents, and as Leah's father, I'm sure you should know that Leah has some talents that ordinary people don't have." When he said this, Charles was no longer the embarrassed guy just now, his eyes were staring at Victor, and his eyes revealed wisdom.

Victor glanced at Leah, seeing the panic on her face that she had never felt before, as if she was expecting something.

"I know!" Victor nodded, and he could clearly feel the relief on Leah's side.

"So, what are you telling me all this for?"

Charles looked at Leah and then at Victor before he said in an unprecedented dignified tone, "We hope your daughter can join us, we need her strength now."

Before Victor could think, he heard the door slammed open, and an angry scolding voice came: "Don't even think about it, my daughter won't join you......"
