Children from single-parent families are loveless.

Generally speaking, if the father is missing, then when the child grows up, there will be a lack of toughness and courage in the character, and if the mother is missing, there will be a lack of gentleness and delicacy in the character.

Gloria and Sandy grew up next to Will, so when they talk and do things, they are inevitably influenced by Will, so it is rare to see Gloria and Sandy have weaknesses, they are both cheerful, straightforward, and will never beat around the bush or anything.

When he was in Springfield, Will was very strict with Gloria and Sandy, attending a girls' school, and most of the people he came into contact with were police officers who wielded knives and sticks, and almost no one dared to approach them with boys of the same age.

So as Gloria and Sandy grew up, there was little involvement in their lives.

At this time, Li Mu suddenly broke into their originally peaceful family and became a part of their lives, if Li Mu looked crooked and bad, he would just do things like a promise, but he was such a very exotic boy who looked good, had a good height, and was versatile, young and golden.

There is hardly any doubt about how popular a boy like this is with girls.

So Sandy's urgency is not difficult to understand, because Sandy's education since childhood is that if you want it, you have to work hard.

And from Sandy's point of view, if she doesn't act as soon as possible, then I'm afraid she will soon call Li Mu "brother-in-law".

Now, although Sandy didn't succeed, Sandy at least succeeded in making Li Mu understand her intentions.

Of course, this will definitely attract Gloria's hostility, but in the world of love, there is no such thing as a first come, and there is never a deep sense of sisterhood.

Gloria still knows how to measure in public, although Li Mu and Sandy's behavior is a bit excessive, but Gloria is not hysterical, which can be regarded as saving some face for Li Mu.

Back on Governor's Island, the first thing Gloria does is go to Sandy.

However, Sandy didn't show up, and she didn't even open the door for Gloria.

Li Mu did not return to Governor's Island with Gloria, looking at Gloria's angry back, Li Mu felt a little messed up in his mind.

Chu Xue didn't go back, but his expression had returned to normal, and as usual, he stood quietly beside Li Mu.

"It's just an accident..."Li Mu didn't know why, but subconsciously, Li Mu felt that he had to explain, although Li Mu had never given Chu Xue any promises.

Chu Xue didn't speak, but nodded with a small movement, and it was not difficult for Li Mu to find that Chu Xue had slightly curved the corners of her mouth.

What is this special thing, Li Mu once imagined starting a family with Chu Xue, and he also imagined starting a family with Gloria, but Li Mu can swear to God that Sandy has never been part of Li Mu's plan.

Li Mu is not so and thirsty, and he wants to attack a little Lori.

This home can't go back, I don't know how Gloria will be mad after I go back, Li Mu is going to go to Washington to find Will.

In this situation, Li Mu felt that the only way to divert Loria's attention was by throwing Will out, otherwise, no one would want to have a good Christmas this time.

"Gloria and Sandy are also going to Washington..."After learning of Li Mu's plan, Chu Xue provided Li Mu with unexpected news.

"What are they doing in Washington?" Li Mu felt a little big.

"Actually, Gloria and Sandy already knew that Claudia and the child lived in Washington, and they wanted to go to Washington to pick up Claudia and the child and give them a full Christmas." Chu Xue's words made Li Mu feel very relieved.

Gloria and Sandy have finally grown up and begun to know how to be considerate of Will, which is good news, if it weren't for Li Mu and Sandy to make this scene.

"So what are you waiting for? Let's go together. Li Mu got up and walked to the dock, to be honest, Li Mu was really a little worried about Gloria and Sandy at this time, hoping that they hadn't set Governor's Island on fire yet.

What Li Mu was most worried about did not happen, and Governor's Island was still quiet and peaceful, without the slightest fireworks.

Gloria sat on the sofa in the living room angrily, not even looking at Li Mu.

"Go get Sandy down, we'll go to the train station right away." Li Mu took the first snow away.

Seeing the first snow go upstairs, Li Mu came to the sofa in front of Gloria and sat down.

"It was just an accident..."Li Mu gave the same explanation as he gave to Chu Xue.

"Just an accident? Do you think so? Gloria's eyes were like two daggers, and Li Mu, who was staring, had nowhere to escape.

"It was an accident, I talked to Sandy about Claudia and Will, at first I just wanted to give Sandy a comfort, I thought it might be my actions that caused Sandy to have some kind of misunderstanding." Li Mu is not the kind of scumbag who chooses himself first when something happens.

"Then it's you who admit it, it was Sandy who you hooked up with first." Gloria pressed closer.

"First of all, I want to correct you, your wording is very inappropriate, no matter how angry you are right now, you can't use the word 'hookup', it is not only insulting to Sandy, but also insulting to me." Li Mu didn't back down and went toe-to-toe with Gloria.

"Okay, I'll wait for your explanation." Gloria was still stubborn, and there were already tears in her eyes.

"Like you said, Sandy is still just a child, she still can't understand what love is, and I'm not as hungry as you see, if I want, you, or Chuxue, we can..."

Sure enough, when Li Mu said the first snow, Gloria suddenly stood up like a lion cub and grabbed the collar of Li Mu's windbreaker fiercely.

"Who do I, or Hatsuyuki, think you are? A tribal chief with three wives and six concubines? Gloria dragged Li Mu up from the sofa, pulled Li Mu down, and stared at Li Mu's eyes viciously.

Li Mu could almost see that there was a fire burning in Gloria's eyes.

"I didn't think so, I just wanted to say that our future is uncertain." Li Mu tried to calm Gloria down.

"Then I'll make sure of you now..."Gloria paused word by word, and after finishing her hair, she stood on her heels and kissed her suddenly.

This is still Li Mu's first kiss in his life, but Li Mu can swear, there is no sweetness to speak of, Li Mu only felt that his teeth and Gloria's teeth hit together, and then Li Mu felt that the end of his tongue seemed to smell a little bloody.

It must have been a broken lip...

Probably Gloria didn't feel very comfortable either, so Gloria immediately let go of Li Mu.

"Now you can be sure that if you want someone to sit on your lap in the future, then that person can only be me." Gloria's lips were broken, and when she spoke, she could vaguely see bloodshot at the corners of her mouth, and Gloria seemed to use this way similar to a "blood oath" to announce Li Mu's ownership with a queenly gesture.

To be honest, Li Mu, a slut, really didn't feel much disgusted, but felt a little distressed because of the bloodshot on the corner of Gloria's mouth.

At this time, it was not appropriate to say anything, Li Mu subconsciously took out a handkerchief and handed it to Gloria.

Gloria didn't mean to answer, but instead raised her head high and motioned for Li Mu to help her wipe it with her own hands.

"Don't wipe it!" Sandy's voice came from the top of the stairs.

"Little girl, I think you're looking for a beating." Gloria is an absolute man of action, and she wants to teach Sandy a lesson by bypassing Li Mu.

"Enough!" Li Mu raised his hand and grabbed Gloria's arm.

"Let go!" Gloria wanted to get rid of Li Mu.

Li Mu directly stretched out his arms and hugged Gloria.

Gloria immediately felt as if she had been immobilized.

"I hate you!" Sandy pushed away the pale first snow, covered her face and turned to go upstairs.

Until getting on the train, Sandy didn't speak to anyone.

It's still a familiar box, it's still a familiar train, it's still a familiar route, but it doesn't have the warm feeling I had the last time I went to Washington.

Looking at Sandy's lonely figure by the car window, Li Mu had a headache, but he couldn't help anything.

Except for the "clang" sound of the collision between the wheels and the rails, no sound could be heard, and the silence in the carriage was panicking.

Li Mu wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but he didn't know how to speak.

Fortunately, there was never a shortage of teasing around Li Mu, Mason, who was dressed as a bartender and had a towel on his arm, pushed the door and broke the silence in the carriage.

"The champagne you want..."As soon as Mason spoke, Li Mu wanted to put the champagne on Mason's face.

What's even more missing is that Mason also put a few ice cubes in the cup before pouring the wine, which made Li Mu's teeth hurt again.

Everything is good in the train box, but in order to prevent fire, there is no fireplace, so the temperature in the carriage is really not high, and at this time you have to add ice cubes to drink champagne, and ordinary people really can't bear this kind of treatment.

"Can't you just get some brandy?" Li Mu is not pleasing to the eye when he sees Mason now, when Gloria was mad in the afternoon, Mason took Pan to hide far away, and watched the whole show, Li Mu felt a little itchy in his teeth as long as he thought about it.

Most of the wine has to be added to the ice to taste, probably only brandy and whiskey are accidents, but the degree of whiskey is a bit high, although Li Mu now wants to drink some high wine to anesthetize his nerves, but considering the few girls present, Li Mu can only drink brandy.

"Okay, please wait—" Mason immediately began to clean up.

"What are you going to say after meeting Will?" Li Mu was finally able to find a topic.

"What do you want me to say, do you want me to beg him to take that woman back?" Gloria didn't speak in a good tone, but she looked good.

"Well, you really don't need to say anything, as long as you and Sandy appear in front of Will, then I think Will will understand what you mean." Li Mu cautiously mentioned Sandy's name.

Thankfully, Gloria didn't go berserk.

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to accept this, at least not so quickly." Li Mu gave Gloria a hand.

"What do you think I am? Is it a little girl who will cry when she doesn't get a gift at Christmas? "Gloria is unforgiving, and it's clear that it's for Sandy.

"Hmph, don't think the gift you get is yours." Sandy suddenly answered.

"Girl, remember to be respectful when you talk to me." Gloria was not polite, and immediately picked up her sister's due momentum.

Don't get me wrong, this sister doesn't mean anything else.

"If I have a sister who is worthy of respect, then I will naturally maintain respect for her." Sandy still doesn't look back, but succeeds in provoking Gloria's wrath.

"I see that you really have itchy skin, come and tell me, where am I not worthy of your respect?" Gloria got up and saw that the gesture was about to move.

Although Gloria and Sandy are both girls, they grew up next to Will, and they are two standard tomboys, and they are used to fighting around since they were young, so they definitely don't talk nonsense if they can do it.

"Alright, alright, we're going to come up with a practical attitude now, do you want to see Will and Claudia separate on this special day of Christmas? And your brother, soon he will learn to call his sister. Li Mu raised his hand and grabbed Gloria, Gloria did not shake off this time, but sat beside Li Mu and squeezed on the same sofa as Li Mu.

"Alas, it's because we can't bear it, so we have to take the initiative to bring Claudia and the child back, otherwise, it is estimated that Will will never take the initiative to mention it to us." Gloria shows a maturity that is very different from her age, and at the end of the day, she is just a girl who is not yet 18 years old.

Generally speaking, boys in Chinese society are not considered adults until they are 20 years old, while girls are considered adults until they are 15 years old.

The standard of adulthood in the United States follows that in the United Kingdom, girls are not considered adults until they are 18 years old, and in the United Kingdom, girls will wear a dress to meet the queen on the day they turn 18, which means that they are eligible to participate in social activities from now on.

However, this is not absolute, there are many people in the United States who are German, and the adult standard in Germany is much earlier, and 14 years old can be considered an adult, so there are many people in the United States who socialize very early, and it will not be strange to others.

This adult standard should be unbinding for Li Mu, after all, although Li Mu's body is not yet 18 years old, his psychological age is already more than 30, so the standard of the coming-of-age ceremony is not applicable to Li Mu.

What's more, early marriage is common in Chinese society, which is also in the United States, if it was in the Qing Empire, maybe by the time they were 18 years old, their children would have almost been able to play soy sauce.
