Chapter Twenty-Eight: Family Over Everything

Originally, Melonie was going to ask Tommy Hawk to accompany her to the bank in the morning, anyway, Tommy Hawk doesn't need to go to school every day, so she walks to the bank with her, which can be used as a brisk walk to exercise her body.

Tommy Hawk did not decline the invitation, although he felt that reading a book in the bedroom was a better option, but Melonie was still a little apprehensive about the future, strictly speaking, she would have to wait for Hugh Spade to be found guilty by the judge at the three-month trial before she could be hired by Sinclair Elementary School to replace Hugh Spader.

Although in Tommy's opinion, this kind of apprehension is completely unnecessary, because he has already taught Melanie, wrote a letter of thanks to the principal of Sinclair Elementary School, in which she told Melonie about her own situation and experience, and thanked Sinclair Elementary School for cooperating with the police to expel her nightmare Hugh Spader, and finally said that she is considering writing a letter of commendation to the Clare Elementary School Parent Committee for her great help in this matter.

As long as the principal is not an idiot, he should understand that he should not let the person concerned, Meloni, get this matter into the ears of the parent committee of his school, the need in the letter is obvious, and it is enough to meet that need, otherwise the parent committee knows that the school teacher whose child is studying actually sells pills, and the principal will wait to be complained.

The easiest thing the principal could do was to give Melonie the job that belonged to Hugh Spade and transfer her to his side, so that she would discourage the idea of thanking her in public in front of the parent committee.

Just as Melonie was preparing breakfast, there was a knock on the door outside, and Tommy Hawk, who was biting a toothbrush in his mouth, walked out of the bathroom and opened the door to the apartment, where his brother Tony stood outside the door and smiled at him: "Good morning." ”

"Don't you have to start work today?" Tommy Hawk asked, moving out of the way while removing the toothbrush from his mouth.

"Wipe those white stains off your mouth before you talk to me, faggot~" Tony teased his brother, then sat down at the table, greeted Melonie who was baking bread in the kitchen, and began to enjoy the breakfast that belonged to Tommy Hawk, seeing Tony pick up the cup of coffee belonging to Tommy, Melonie opened her mouth to stop:

"Tony, this cup is yours."

As he spoke, he quickly poured a cup out of the coffee pot and brought it to Tony, putting Tommy Hawk's cup of coffee back in its place.

Tony looked at Melonie suspiciously, then at Tommy Hawk, who walked back to the bathroom to continue brushing his teeth, and said, "What's the problem, it's just a cup of coffee, he not only drank my juice and coffee when he was a child, but also secretly wore my Mickey panties." ”

"If you insist, you can try." At this point, Tommy Hawk wiped the water stains off his face, walked out of the bathroom, and smiled at Tony.

Tony picked up Tommy's coffee cup, put it in his mouth, stood up and rushed into the bathroom as soon as he entered the mouth, spit out the coffee on the toilet, and then grinned, "Aunt Meloni, you forgot to add sugar to this espresso?" ”

"Tommy is a firm believer that bitterness lifts his spirits." Meloni said with a smile after seeing that Tony didn't believe in evil and insisted on trying.

Tony sat back down at the table, took a sip of the coffee that Melonie poured for herself, neutralized the bitterness in her mouth before saying: "Tommy, I can personally sponsor you for seventy-five cents, you go to a doctor and ask him to help you check your stomach with that umbrella-like thing, I suspect that your stomach is about to become the same as a cat that can excrete coffee beans, maybe Marvel will draw you into the comics after knowing your mutation, become a member of the X-Men, and the job is to go to the toilet every day to help Professor X prepare coffee beans, Use the bitter taste just now to make me burst into a foul mouth, and help him concentrate. ”

"Nice idea, Tony, you can help me come up with a nickname for the X-Men." Tommy smiled and sat next to Tony, took a sip of his cup of coffee.

Tony immediately said, "I thought of it, CatAss!" ”

"Hahahaha~~" Tommy also laughed out loud like Tony, but the laughter suddenly stopped at the highest point, Tommy's gaze at Tony suddenly turned deep, and his voice returned to calm: "What happened to that guy Daddy?" ”

Tony also smiled, but his expression was not solemn, he just drank coffee and said, "Today is Bessia's visit day, and Daddy wants us to accompany him to visit Basia." ”

"Didn't Daddy visit Becia alone before? lest the two of us divide up his pitiful visitation time? I have offered to accompany him many times before with you, but he vetoed it, what is the reason for today? Tommy asked, a little puzzled, when he heard that he was only visiting Bethea.

Although Bessia is taken to foster care, family members of her family of origin are allowed to visit once a week, generally for about two to four hours, depending on the foster parents' schedule.

Tommy Hawke feels that weekly visits are the cruelest punishment for the poor by the Child Protection Agency, and he can't bring his children back, but he has to see her every week, and he can witness the growth of his children every time, but he can't participate in them.

Tony picked up the bread and took a bite: "Maybe Daddy finally remembered that he had two sons besides his daughter, and by the way, Daddy asked you to wear that grass green jacket with "Diaper Family" printed on it, and Becia said she liked to see you wear that coat. ”

"I would never wear that coat, I'm eighteen years old and wearing the coat of a cartoon character? And it's "Diaper Family" printed on it? I'm going to be treated like a by everyone, and I'm a cute zero sissy who can open up to sunflowers on the day I go to jail! Tommy Hawk heard Tony's words and immediately refused in a decisive tone.

Melonie came over with baked bread at this time: "I didn't hear anything. ”

"I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to the bank." Tommy Hawk said to Meloni.

Melonie nodded, a quick flash of loss in her eyes, but then said to Tommy seriously: "Of course it's no problem, I'll take care of it, family will always come first, Tommy, say hello to Becia for me." ”

……

On Interstate 95, a Ford Raptor pickup truck with an American bald eagle on its body is speeding along the road.

Colin Hawke, a rare dad in clean casual clothes, fell asleep in the back seat of the car with his mouth wide open, in order to be able to visit his daughter without making less money because of leave, he advanced the work that should be done on today's visit day to last night.

Tony tried to put on an indifferent expression on his face, holding the steering wheel with both hands and concentrating on driving, in the co-pilot, Tommy Hawk was wearing a jacket printed with "Diaper Family", his expression was relaxed, and his previous resistance seemed to be a different person, at this time, admiring the rapidly swept green scenery outside the window, and said:

"You know what? I don't think it's a shame to wear this coat now. ”

"Shut up, Tommy!" Tony said with a straight face next to him, "Don't force me to beg you." ”

At the moment, Tony Leon is wearing a pink jacket with images of the Betty Doll cartoon and a pink hairpin on his head with adorned dog ears.

"Actually, you should have made it clear from the beginning that you would wear Betty to this family party, and I wouldn't have any resistance to wearing this diaper coat." Tommy Hawk took two cigarettes out of the cigarette case, lit them in his mouth, and then handed one to Tony, laughing.

Tony took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, his voice desperate: "I don't know why, my sense of anticipation for this visit has plummeted. ”

"Sons, listen to your heartless words, Oh, I am ashamed of you, you have the blood of the Italian who values the family in your veins, your closest family only expects a little from you, but you do everything you can to refuse, you should learn from your father, he will do his best to meet any request of the family, remember, family comes first." Perhaps woken up by the teasing of the two, Colin Hawke muttered in a deep sleepy voice in the back seat.

Tony nodded knowingly, "You know what, Daddy, if you're willing to trade your coat with us......"

"Phew......" Before Tony could finish speaking, Colin Hawke's snoring continued to sound.

Tommy Hawk looked out the window with a cigarette, and finally suppressed his mocking words and just smiled faintly: "Family first, huh?" ”

Tony Leon turned his face to look at his younger brother, patted the other party's grass green coat, patted his own pink coat, and said seriously:

"Needless to say, Family Over Everything."
