In the bright mansion with simple white decoration, Abel came out of the bathroom, shook his wet hair, and a maid next to him came forward with a towel to help him dry it.

Returning to his private room, where he rarely sleeps, he motioned for the maid to take out the casual clothes that his mother Emily had bought for him in the closet and put them on.

Looking at the bedroom wall, there were many works that he had created in the past, and he knew that it was his mother Emily who had hung them.

It made him feel a little comfortable.

In any case, he is Abel Smith, and this strong family affection is incomparably precious in a country like the United States.

"Washed?" Emily hugged Abel II, pushed the door in and asked with a smile.

Wearing pajamas and bathrobes, Able was seen standing in front of his former works, looking at the works of her youth that she had brought with her from Texas.

Emily's face immediately appeared with love, and she walked over and said, "How nice they are." I don't think there's anyone in the world who is more talented at painting than my son. What Picasso, Van Gogh are the same! ”

Abel vaguely remembered that the original body remembered the compliment from his mother very clearly.

It was since she was a child, after discovering that her son had a talent for painting, Emily often praised him the most.

Even earlier, Alexander was a little disgusted that his son liked to draw. It was also Emily who stood up to support him, and finally Alexander had no choice but to admit it and began to support his son's hobby.

No matter how you look at it, Emily is a qualified and even excellent mother.

"Well, Mom, thank you." With a happy smile on his face, Abel gave Emily a grateful hug and hugged his sister-in-law, who was more than a year old and began to babble.

This sister-in-law, he cast more hope than other children. He hoped that Abel II would be able to continue the glory and greatness of the Smith family with his brothers and sisters after him.

But it's just hope, in the time of companionship and fatherly love. He gave no more to Abel II than his other brothers and sisters.

Maybe even less than the company given to Alya, the sister of Abel II.

Who called little Arya his first child and a daughter? After all, men will spoil their daughters more.

"Call Daddy~" Abel teased the child.

I haven't seen him for a few months, and the child is a little strange to him. But when he came back just now, he had already gotten along, and Abel II was not afraid.

The little doll screamed a little vaguely: "Ba~ba." ”

"Hey, that's a great guy." Abel smiled and kissed him.

Emily next to her, her eyes narrowed into crescents with a smile, her chin pressed on her son's shoulder, and she touched her precious grandson's face and nagged: "He really looks like you when you were a child." I saw him as if you had just been born. Oh, that's an Abel too!! ”

"Oops, yes!!" Suddenly, Emily remembered something and couldn't help but exclaim, "By the way, I came in to tell you." Peggy is here! The New York woman you arranged to be a judge in Washington and her grandfather came to us! Little Laura and your father are hosting her and her grandfather! You little bastard, her belly is so big! You still asked her to come over, are you challenging little Laura? You hurry up and deal with it, I don't want to make little Laura sad! ”

Abel smiled, hugged his son with one hand, and reached out to wrap his arm around Emily with the other and said, "It's okay, little Laura has already told me about this." And tonight, she even took the initiative to invite Peggy over as a guest. Their relationship is a little more harmonious than you think. ”

"Uh......" Emily was stunned, she didn't expect such a magical thing to happen.

A woman would invite a woman who is pregnant with her husband's illegitimate child to come to her home......

"Since you say so, I don't care. Anyway, we can't control you for a long time. Let's go, let's eat, but I also like the feeling of having a lot of people at home. ”

Speaking of the back, Emily's eyes narrowed into crescent moons.

That's how a traditional woman like she is.

If her husband finds a woman and gives birth to an illegitimate child, it is a great rebellion.

In addition to his daughter-in-law, his son has many other women and many children.

On the surface, she will side with her daughter-in-law, and together with her daughter-in-law, she will condemn other women, and even blame her own son.

In fact, in their hearts, they will be more or less proud of it. Because it symbolizes their son, who has great power and attraction.

Otherwise, how could there be so many women willing to give birth to their sons?

"Yes, that's what it is. Imagine that so many people call you "dear grandmother", and I think you will be happy. Abel put his arm around his mother's shoulders and smiled as he walked out of the bedroom with the child in his arms.

"Hey, don't mention it. It was a terrible Christmas time. I can't favor anyone, and I guess I can't stand it again! ”

Hearing his mother's complaint, Abel also shook his head and chuckled.

Christmas, because of his ridiculous request, his women gathered with their children.

But firstly, the children are small, and secondly, it is impossible for the women to live in harmony.

Emily, the grandmother of the children, did not enjoy much of the family pleasure she longed for, but her son had too many women, and she didn't know how to stand on her own.

But in the end, she will always be on her side.

The same goes for other loved ones.

He is really very fortunate and happy for this kind of big family that can live in harmony, after all, the supremacy of money in American society makes the relationship between people tend to be absolutely rational, and the human touch really can't be compared with the Celestial Empire, although the Celestial Empire is becoming more and more closer to the United States, but some things are still buried deep in the cultural genes and cannot be replaced.

Brightly lit, nicely brilliant, baroque style mansion in the main living room.

Robert Morgenthau and Peggy, who already had a big belly, were each sitting on a sofa chair, chatting softly with Alexander and little Laura.

Little Laura even sat next door to Peggy, and they seemed to have a good conversation, and the atmosphere was not as tense as Emily imagined.

"Hey, good evening, Robert. Oh, and dear Peggy. ”

Abel walked over with a smile, handed the child to the mother halfway, and went over first to shake Robert's hand as he stood up, "You look pretty good, dear Robert." Hope you are always healthy. ”

Robert smiled, and with some mixed feelings, he pulled the corner of his eye back from the little Abel II.

Looking at Abel Smith, who is still as handsome and upright as ever, more mature and better than in the past.

Even though Robert tries to control it, an inner snake called regret reappears in his heart and attacks Robert's already impregnable defense.

Once upon a time, Peggy should have been one of the real mistresses of this house, not the woman of the bush family!

blamed themselves, blamed themselves for being obsessed with the glory of the so-called East Coast giants at that time, and blamed themselves for looking down on the so-called Dixie at that time......

It's a pity that there is no such thing as regret medicine in the world, and there is no such thing as going back in time.

Robert, who regretted it, could only smile at this time, and responded with a smile while shaking hands with Abel: "In order to watch Peggy, I will also try to live a few more years." Dear Abel. ”

Abel haha a few times, then walked to the side, and first talked to little Laura.

Then, in her smile, she and Peggy had a very intimate lip service.

After that, they each sat down and chatted a few words. Emily hugged the baby and smiled and told everyone to go to dinner first.

The strict traditional Puritan family in the United States actually pays attention to the style of "eating without saying anything".

However, the Smith family is sparsely populated and has never been particular about this.

It's time to talk about it during dinner, but Emily asks not to talk about work.

At the dinner table, everyone also talked about some interesting things in life.

Wait for dinner.

A circle of sofas is placed on the carpet around the fireplace, the charcoal burning in the fireplace, the red tongue of fire ~ licking the dark charcoal, from time to time bursting crackling sparks, the stone walls are roasted by smoky fire, and a layer of black light shines.

The weather in June in Washington is very hot, and the fireplace in the room is almost like it is in a baking room.

However, the air-conditioning system was turned on, so the living room was still as comfortable and cool as ever, and it was not stuffy because of the fireplace.

And the role of the fireplace at this time...... Just think it's setting the mood.

Old money like to do this, and Alexander is no exception.

The corners of her mouth have not relaxed, and Emily, who has a cheerful smile on her face, is talking softly with little Laura, who is also smiling sweetly, holding the child and Peggy.

The women talk about women, even though Miss Peggy Morgenthau is now the Chief Judge of the Washington Circuit Court.

The men talked about big things after the meal.

Alexander took a sip of the after-dinner wine from his red wine glass, and he first looked at his wicked son, only to see Able smiling in the direction of the children and women.

After a moment of silence, Alexander spoke, "Renquist is admitted to Georgetown University Medical Center again. ”

This hospital was founded in 1851 and is considered one of the first medical schools in the United States. As part of Georgetown University, it has always played an important academic and medical role. It is a comprehensive medical center with 8 professional colleges and 4 research centers, and has a high reputation for biomedical research, medical services, medical education, etc.

It is one of the best hospitals in the Washington area.

"I know." Abel withdrew his gaze from his son and the women, and he raised his head to look at his father and Robert next to him, "Renqvist's situation, not staying in the hospital all the time, is already a better performance." ”

Chief Big. Law. Mr. Guan has cancer, although it is a malignant tumor with a high survival rate such as thyroid cancer, but his age is there.

Even with access to one of the best medical care in the world, it is normal for your health to deteriorate.

Alexander couldn't help but look at Robert, they had a lot of contact during the time Morgenthau lived in Washington. Now Alexander and Robert are on good terms.

Smith therefore felt that compared to his unreliable in-laws, Robert was much more reliable than Neil among his own people on Washington's side.

Who called little Laura's father, in essence, is a real gentleman who has to rely on his father and brother to play with women and make money so as not to go to jail......

"I wish he could live a few more years. That way, Peggy could have been a little more stable. After thinking about it, without offending little Laura, Alexander said cautiously.

Abel couldn't help laughing, he felt that Sure enough, Masaji was the most training thing.

The high-class Texas redneck and Dixie, who have always spoken straightforwardly and are never afraid of offending people, have become such a good talker after a few years.

After laughing, Abel straightened his face and looked at Robert, who had been smiling next to him, "Don't worry." George should be re-elected this year. In that case, we have another 4 years. And as much as I don't want to, William probably won't live to leave George in office. So ......"

Abel shrugged his shoulders before he said, "Everything is still under control." By the way, the internal election on the Donkey Party's side is about to begin, right? ”

"Yes." Robert, who hadn't spoken much, smiled at this time and spoke, after all, even now, the old man is still one of the bigwigs within the Donkey Party, "The results are expected next month." There are currently three main players, Edwards, Dean and Kerry. ”

"Kerry is John Forbes Kerry?" Abel asked.

Rob nodded, "That's him." In fact, we all know very well that Dean and Edwards are most likely running together, and John Forbes Kerry has too much advantage. ”

"I know this, it's basically him." Abel also affirmed.

John Forbes Kerry, who is it? Former senator of Massachusetts and one of the bigwigs within the Donkey Party.

The key is...... When he was younger, he almost became a brother-in-law with Mr. Brainy.

Later, although he did not succeed in marrying Jacqueline Kenny. Dee's half-sister, but also took the opportunity to officially become Kenny. People in the Di faction.

With his former military career, he has become one of the few donkey party bigwigs supported by the 5 corners of the Donkey Party.

Born in a wealthy family, his family made a fortune more than a hundred years ago by doing the same business as the Hoover family, which can be said to be one of the typical East Coast wealthy families.

Otherwise, the Donkey Party would not have pushed him out and competed with George, who had a huge advantage.

Because in the current situation, there are indeed very few donkey parties that can beat George. And John Forbes Kerry is one of the hopeful.

"Never mind Kerry, he doesn't have much hope." Abel said lightly, "Tell me about yourself, my dear father. Do you want to consider changing positions? ”
