Chapter 44 The Worst Crime
Recommending Monica to be Peggy's temporary guardian was an idea that Locke had temporarily appeared in his head, but after the idea came to him, he quickly decided it was a good idea.
Monica has a good personality, kind and generous, and a strong sense of responsibility, very suitable for taking care of people, whether it is a short time together in this life, or shown in the Friends of the previous life, Monica is a good candidate.
Peggy came to Princeton University to attend school, and she definitely needed to find a temporary guardian, and Sheldon Jr. had already decided that the temporary guardian was Beverly.
Rather than finding someone who is unfamiliar and can't confirm whether it's a good fit, Locke feels that it is better to choose Monica as Peggy's temporary guardian.
"I'm sorry, it was so sudden, I think I might need to think about it." Listening to Locke talk about Peggy in detail, Monica said.
Monica is very fond of children, but Locke suddenly suggests something that makes her a little unsure of how to answer.
"It's okay, there's no rush in this matter, Linda will bring Peggy over next month, and I can introduce you to meet at that time, trust me, you're going to like Peggy."
After hesitating for a while, Monica still nodded: "Okay, I'll meet with Ms. Linda and Peggy, and the matter of the temporary guardian can be talked about at that time." ”
Monica looked at Locke and felt that she didn't want to say no, so she agreed to meet with Linda Page first and then decide.
"Very good, I knew you were a beautiful girl." Locke laughed and said, "The Swansons and Peggy are sure to like you." ”
"Thank you for what you said about me." Being praised by Locke, Monica felt in a good mood and glanced at Locke again: "By the way, have you had breakfast?" ”
"Nope." Locke said: "I'm going to find a random breakfast shop to pack some and eat them later." ”
"Why don't you come to my house, I'm going back to prepare breakfast too." Monica made the invitation.
"Really? Then you're welcome, after tasting your dim sum last time, I knew that you were a skilled chef who could compare to the chefs of those Michelin-starred restaurants. ”
"You've won the award, I'm still far from those chefs, but I've been working towards it."
"Trust me, they have a lot to learn from you." "I've tasted all the famous restaurants in New York, and I definitely have a say," Locke said. ”
……
At Monica's invitation, Rock arrives at Monica's apartment.
While Monica was preparing breakfast, Locke had a rough look at the typical two-bedroom layout with a balcony.
As Locke stood by the window and looked out, the door to one of the bedrooms opened: "Monica, breakfast is ready...... Oh, hi, Locke. ”
As soon as he turned his head, Locke saw a blonde girl in pajamas, none other than Monica's roommate Phoebe.
"Good morning, Phoebe." Locke greeted Phoebe.
"Locke, when you came to New York, Alice didn't tell us." Phoebe smiled and came to Locke's side: "Although Locke doesn't mean that, it feels good to be closer to a handsome guy." ”
"It's only been two days since Monica and I met on a morning run, and she invited me over for breakfast."
"yes, I'm glad you're here, it's been half a month since you last came to New York."
"Exactly thirteen days ......"
"Hey, Monica." As he spoke, Chandler, who still had a beard, pushed the door open and walked in.
"Hi Chandler, good morning."
"Did you hear that the bar downstairs may be closing next month and turning into a café." Chandler said.
"It's the kind of café that only sells coffee?!" Phoebe
"What do they buy without coffee?" "I can't believe that anyone thinks a café is better than a bar, and they want us to hang out in a café every day, drinking coffee and chatting, which is too bad," Chandler complained. ”
"That's right, the café is far worse than the bar, and the bar is downstairs, how convenient." Monica agrees with Chandler.
"I can't imagine that they would turn a bar into a café, and if that were true, I would never go." Phoebe shouted in agreement.
"If they do, we're going to complain." Chandler said without hesitation.
Monica didn't answer, just looked at Chandler, because she knew that Chandler wasn't the kind of person to lead the way.
Sure enough, Chandler just shouted, looked at Monica's eyes again, smiled and stopped talking.
"How's your roommate going?" Monica duly changed the subject.
"Very good." Chandler smiled with satisfaction.
"That handsome Italian guy?" Speaking of which, Monica came to the spirit.
"No!" Chandler shook his head decisively: "It's the very artistic photographer who appeared later." ”
"Oh my God, why don't you pick that handsome Italian guy, he's very stylish." After speaking, he glanced at Locke: "Although it is a little worse than Locke." ”
"Because the photographer said he would bring models a lot." Chandler explained why he made the choice: "His sister was a sex actress. ”
"But that handsome Italian guy is handsome." Monica said unwillingly: "His eyes are very seductive, especially when he says hello with a unique emphasis~." ”
"The photographer's sister is a color actress." Chandler insisted on his choice, and for a single man, his reason was sufficient.
Chandler, who didn't want to continue the conversation, turned the conversation to Locke: "Hey, Locke, how many days are you going to spend in New York this time?" ”
"It's probably a little over a month, and I should have more time to come to New York in the future, because I'm going to go to college nearby?"
"What university? Columbia University like Alice? Chandler became interested: "So we're alumni." ”
"No, I chose Princeton, which is just over a hundred kilometers from New York." Locke shook his head: "I will come to New York often in the future." ”
"Princeton, it's for you." Chandler paused and said, "Why, you don't want to be in the same school as Alice?" ”
Although Columbia University is the top public university in the United States, it is still inferior to Princeton, which is an important reason why Locke chose this way.
"Locke chose Princeton because his math department was top-notch." Monica explained, "He's a real top student, and he's not much better than my older brother who brags about his SAT scores." ”
Speaking of which, Monica looked at Locke and no longer thought about the handsome Italian guy, but felt that God was really cruel to him, such a handsome boy was so much younger than her.
Europeans and Americans are naturally precocious, fifteen or sixteen years old look old enough, high school students, college students and adults, many times they can't tell from their appearance.
Young men and women like Monica, who are already working, usually find people of the same age, rather than students who are still in school.
Of course, if you really look at the right eye, it's another story, little Sheldon's brother George Jr., the mother of the first child is a girl nearly ten years older than him.
At first, George Jr. concealed his age, because the girl had been a weather forecaster, and the key was that the crime was heinous.
