445 To Frank
Fiona flicked the switch and the lights in the living room came on.
The entrance is a staircase that goes up.
Walking to the right, there is the living room, where several large sofas surround a large wooden table with various miscellaneous items.
"Squeak!"
As soon as I got off my feet, there was a strange noise underneath.
He hurriedly lifted his foot, and a yellow inflatable duckling was trampled on by him.
"Sorry, it's too messy at home."
Fiona stepped forward quickly, picking up the clothes that were scattered everywhere with some embarrassment, and quickly threw them into the plastic basket beside her.
It wasn't supposed to be her clothes, most of them were worn by little boys.
"Isn't that how it should be at home?" Ethan walked to the sofa and sat down unconcerned: "No matter what, it's all warm." ”
"Perhaps!"
Fiona shrugged her shoulders and walked inside again.
There was a ping-pong sound, and she took out several bottles of Budweiser from the refrigerator: "Let's have something to drink first, Xiao Wei will come over soon." ”
"Okay, thanks."
Ethan unscrewed the lid of the beer and handed it to her, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"It's not a hassle at all." Fiona noticed the soaked clothes on his body and quickly put down the wine bottle:
"You take off your clothes, and I'll dry them for you."
Seeing that he was a little hesitant, Fiona smiled again and said, "Please, don't tell me to be shy." “
"Of course not."
Ethan didn't squirm either, the wet clothes were really uncomfortable to wear, and there was heating in the house, so he wasn't afraid of the cold even if he was shirtless.
After two or three strokes, he took off all the clothes on his upper body.
There is no hair common to Western men on his body, the muscle lines are obvious, and the whole person is full of male hormones.
Fiona brushed her hair back and quickly took her clothes.
"Whoa, whoa."
Veronica's surprised voice sounded: "Why are you in such a hurry, dear, do you need me to come later?" ”
"Shut up." Fiona picked up her clothes and walked back:
"I'm helping him dry his clothes."
"Yes, I can prove it."
Ethan picked up a bottle of Budweiser and handed it to Veronica: "Beer? ”
"Oh my God."
Veronica crossed her waist with one hand and said with an exaggerated expression: "Kevin, look at it, this is a good figure." ”
She took the beer and poked her thumb back:
"Meet, this is my jealous boyfriend, and he has to come with him, saying he wants to see the man I brought back from the colored bat."
"Kevin?"
"My friend?"
The two men looked at each other and shouted in unison.
"I'm sorry." Ethan took two steps forward, reached out and shook his fist with Kevin:
"I'm Ethan, you're actually Xiaowei's boyfriend, it's really a coincidence."
"Uh-huh!" Kevin put his hand down and looked at his girlfriend:
"Unexpectedly, the new friend you said turned out to be him."
"How did you two meet?" Fiona asked in surprise as she walked out briskly from behind.
Not only was she surprised, but Veronica was also curious.
"Sit down and speak slowly." Veronica motioned for Ethan to sit down on the carpet, and she opened the medicine box and pulled something out of it.
"The Ellerber Bar." Ethan took the words and quickly changed the subject:
"I had a drink at Eleber once, and we had a great conversation."
"That's right, Kevin."
He raised his head slightly and let Veronica clean his wounds: "Do you remember Frank?" I saw him a few hours ago. ”
"Frank is really a good father, carrying a child on his back to clean the glass on the road."
"There are not many people who can be a family like him, he is a real man."
Ethan picked up the bottle, but the living room fell into an eerie silence.
Looking at Kevin, he was covering his mouth and snickering.
Veronica stopped what she was doing and looked at Ethan in disbelief: "You're talking about Frank?" ”
Ethan nodded: "That's right! ”
"Good father?" Veronica's voice was a little high-pitched, and she asked excitedly:
"Paying for the family? Frank? Real men? ”
Looking at the tweezers waving around, Ethan was a little flustered, for fear that she would accidentally poke her eyes.
"What's the problem?"
Ethan put the bottle down and flashed back:
"Isn't Frank a single father? One person raises six small children. ”
"Shet."
Veronica shook her head and said, "This mom can really say anything, no offense." ”
The latter sentence she said to Fiona.
"Don't worry." Fiona shrugged her shoulders and said, "There is no offense. ”
She walked over to Ethan and sat down, her expression serious: "Remember, it's true that Frank is a single father, and it's not wrong that he has six children. ”
"As for other things."
Fiona thought for a moment and said resolutely: "Don't believe anything that comes out of his mouth, I mean anything." ”
"Uh-huh."
Veronica looked approving and continued to clean Ethan's wounds, even the broken skin on his hands.
"Okay!" Ethan spread his hands: "I believe your words. ”
"Why, though?"
"I don't want to admit it, though."
Fiona held up the bottle, "But the Frank you're talking about is my father." ”
Seeing Ethan's stunned look, Veronica took over: "And he's the most irresponsible person I've ever met, believe me, there's no exaggeration." ”
Ethan smiled helplessly, he didn't expect it to be like this.
This Frank, what he says is really true and false.
He was also cheated by him for a hundred dollars, and he had to pay it back if he had a chance.
He shrugged his shoulders and picked up the beer bottle:
"To Frank."
"That's right." Fiona also reached over: "To damn Frank." ”
Veronica and Kevin also picked up the bottles, and there was a crisp collision between the bottles: "To Frank the Liar." ”
Everyone laughed and drank their beer.
After putting down the bottle, Veronica quickly helped him clean his wounds, apply medicine, and apply bandages.
"Alright, that's it."
She looked at the treated wound with satisfaction and put the things back in the box.
Footsteps rang out, and a little boy of seven or eight years old walked up to them.
He sat down on the carpet sleepily and stretched out his fist at Ethan:
"Hey, I'm Carl."
Fiona said silently, "This is my brother."
The little boy has an inch of hair, and his eyes reveal clear stupidity, and he looks cool.
"Nice to meet you, Carl." Ethan smiled and threw out his fist, colliding with him.
Carl retracted his hand in satisfaction.
"I like you." A little girl about Carl's age also walked up to the couch, her face flushed and her voice glutinous:
"You're so good-looking, I'm Debbie."
This little girl is too good at talking.
Ethan immediately smiled: "Good evening, Debbie, you are also very good-looking." ”
"Ian."
A boy with short orange hair also appeared in front of them, fifteen or sixteen years old, with little freckles on his face.
He picked up a bottle of beer and looked at Ethan's bare upper body.
This kind of look is very familiar to him, once Jabber's boyfriend also looked at him like this, Ethan pretended not to pay attention, smiled and slapped his palm:
"Hi, I'm Ethan."
"What are you talking about?" Another voice rang out.
A curly-haired guy snatched the beer from Ian's hand, he stared at a dead fish, and nodded at Ethan: "I'm Philip, you can call me Lippe." ”
Ethan didn't expect such a child to pop up all of a sudden.
"Six kids, and one sleeping."
Fiona spread her hands: "Welcome to the Gallagher family." ”
