At this, Josh fell silent.

After a while, he scratched his head and said, "My mother started to live alone with me many years ago. ”

"She overdosed on it two days ago, so...

Ethan and Garbor glanced at each other and both shrugged.

He could only pat Josh on the back and comforted, "I'm sorry to hear this." ”

"It's okay."

Josh shook his head and smiled at him, "Thank you for your two hundred dollars so that I don't go hungry." ”

Ethan raised his bullet glass and drank it all in one gulp:

"Don't take it personally."

At this moment, Darren in the swimming pool slapped the water:

"Little Joe, come down, don't you know how to surf?"

"Let's try to see who holds their breath the most."

"Go ahead and be happy." Ethan picked up his glass and took a sip.

"Okay."

Josh nodded, got up and walked towards the pool.

Buzz was dancing with his girlfriend to the music, Craig had climbed out of the pool, and when he saw Ethan coming, he took a bottle of beer and stayed away.

Looking at the few people frolicking by the pool, Liviera leaned into Ethan's ear:

"You friends, it shouldn't be easy."

Ethan looked at Josh, who was diving into the water with Daeron, and said with a smile: "No one in the world is simple, it's just what angle you look at." ”

The competition between Darren and Josh also attracted the attention of everyone present.

As time goes on, Dylan can be seen dancing with ease and hands underwater.

Josh's lung capacity was not as good as Darren's, and he didn't dare to move.

It seems that he is about to lose his grip.

After another ten seconds, Josh gave up and paddled his hands and feet to float, but Daren suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

Josh struggled desperately to get rid of it.

But Daeron's hands, like vices, clamped him tightly.

His blonde hair fluttered underwater, and Daeron's eyes were cold, like a ferocious beast.

"Hey."

Livira was a little agitated and wanted to stand up.

When she heard what Josh said just now, she couldn't help but feel sympathy for him.

"Smack."

Ethan grabbed her arm and shook her head at Liviera.

After another ten seconds, Daren finally let go.

Josh sprang upwards and surfaced, glancing at Ethan with a horrified expression on his face, and then gulping for a breath of fresh air.

The ten seconds he was dragged just now seemed to be the longest time in his life.

Ethan then stood up and walked forward.

Josh slowed down and swam to the side, ignoring Ethan's outstretched hand, holding himself up from the water, lying directly on the ground, his chest heaving rapidly.

Ethan crouched down, grabbed Josh, and dragged him to his feet:

"Are you blaming me for not going down to help you just now?"

Josh shook his head slightly, but his eyes were still a little red, and for a moment, he really felt that he was going to die.

Ethan grabbed him by the hair and whispered:

"Everyone is also fateful, I will send you a few words, I heard clearly."

"I know who your uncle and grandmother are, and I think you should be aware of that."

Josh nodded, gritting his teeth and looking at Ethan, wanting to hear what he had to say.

"You have nothing now."

Ethan patted him on the face and continued:

"Don't expect others to help you, you can only find a way to grow up quickly, your uncle and they, including your grandmother, they will not pity you because they are weak."

"Find a way to prove yourself."

"In this way, you will gain their respect and your life will be better."

After speaking, Ethan wiped the water drops from his face and stood up.

He shook his head at Jaber and Liviera, it was time to leave.

Josh pondered what Ethan had said, staring intently at Ethan's back as he walked towards Daeron.

In front of him just now, Daeron, who was like a fierce beast, was rubbed by Ethan like a little sheep at this time, but he didn't have any opinions, but greeted him with a smile.

Josh suddenly understood something, and hid what Ethan said deep in his heart.

After saying goodbye to a few of them, Ethan walked up to Mama Lan again.

"Are you sure you don't want to play a little longer?" Lan Ma stood up and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao can sleep on the sofa in the living room, and you and your little girlfriend can live with peace of mind." ”

"No, that's too much trouble."

Ethan and she kissed each other on the cheek, "Thank you very much for your hospitality." ”

"You're welcome."

Lan Ma unceremoniously patted Ethan's buttocks, and swiped with her fingertips without a trace: "I need to thank you for your help." ”

Only Livira noticed her movements, her eyebrows furrowed.

Picking up their personal belongings, Ethan and the others got into the open-top jeep rented by Jabber, accompanied by the Blue Mother's family.

Ethan turned his head and waved goodbye.

Josh stood behind the crowd as he nodded at Ethan, his eyes becoming determined.

Seeing that he had understood what he meant, Ethan smiled, turned the steering wheel, and slowly left.

Liviela had long observed that only Jabber was really with Ethan.

As soon as she left Mama's house, she couldn't wait to ask:

"Why didn't you help Josh just now, he's pathetic enough."

"If you can help for a while, you can't help for a lifetime."

Ethan stretched out his arm and flicked her head: "Someone else is a family, how can I meddle." ”

"If we help him, he will only be bullied more severely after we leave."

"All this should be regarded as the tempering that he must go through to join this family."

Jaber put on his sunglasses and held his bald head:

"That's right, I know Mama Lan very well, if Josh dared to speak just now, he would definitely be cleaned up badly afterwards."

"Anyway, it's good that you think it's a characteristic of this family."

"Speaking of Blue Mom." Liviera's eyes rolled, and the corners of her mouth turned up: "Do you have a leg with her?" ”

"Ahem."

Garber coughed heavily, stifled a laugh, and looked at the coolly dressed pedestrians on the side of the road.

"You saw that, didn't you?" Ethan glanced at her and said unhurriedly:

"If you're not there, maybe it's possible."

"You have to believe in my charm, don't you?"

He had long felt that Mama Lan was interesting to him, and wanted to eat a bite of fresh meat, but he didn't want to accept it.

Liviera smiled and shook her head, turning to look at Jabb:

"You've known Ethan for a long time, has he always been so brazen?"

"That's right."

Jaber took off his sunglasses, his eyes shining:

"I've got a crush on you, girl."

"There are very few people who can see his essence at a glance like you."

"Fakyu."

Ethan slapped the steering wheel, "You two are bastards." ”

Amid a burst of laughter, the open-top jeep drove towards the Four Seasons Hotel.

Since Jaber came to the West Coast, he's stayed here except for the two nights he spent in Mexico.

When he came to the hotel, Ethan did not hesitate to book an executive suite, and he was not short of that money, of course, he wanted to make his stay comfortable.
