28 Chaos
"Is Falken a baseball fan?"
It was Zach who spoke. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info it doesn't matter what he wants to express, what matters is where he is. This is the office of the Falken estate.
Early this morning, Zach received a phone call, a woman who had said that she would keep in touch, Fiona Falken, invited Zach to come to Falken Manor, "I realize that you have never been to my house as a guest, come on, by the way, come and get the balance of your commission, I am a weak woman who doesn't want to go out with so much cash~'
Zack didn't dare to slack off on this woman's words, so he could only tell Danny to tell her where he was going when Louise returned, and went to the West End. Oh yes, didn't Louise go with James for dinner yesterday and didn't come back this morning.
This time Benjamin wasn't with him, but stayed at Grande to watch Tam .
Back to the present. Fiona glanced at Zack a little dazed, "What did you say?"
You can't blame Fiona for not paying attention to Zach at all, because she's reading a textbook, which Zach was reading when he came, and still reads — "Charlotte's history assignments, I hate this kind of thing." Leaving children in school means not having to participate in their education, but schools always have to come up with some kind of 'projects' to make things difficult for parents. I hate this kind of thing. ”
So Zach became the guest who was completely forgotten after being invited, and when the host who invited him was looking intently at a junior high school history textbook, he wondered if he had been invited.
Unfortunately, Zach couldn't say, 'Fiona, you asked me to get the money, where's the money?'.
So that's it, Zach pointed to the display case in front of him, and inside the clear glass case was a painted bat, "I asked if Falken was a baseball fan." ”
"Why him?" Fiona blinked behind the large desk as she looked in Zach's direction, "Can't I be a baseball fan?"
This conversation is somewhat pertinent, try to understand-
Zach raised an eyebrow, "I'm sorry, I just took it for granted that this is Falken's office, and what is placed here should be his, well, collectibles." Like the taxidermy in Fisher Manor, Zach's apologies seemed sincere, "After all, you're a woman, and he's the man of the family." ”
Fiona raised her eyebrows, a smile curled into the corners of her mouth, "Okay, it makes sense, hehe, but he's not the only man in this family~ This office is indeed his, hehe, my dear husband's, but before he appeared, it was my father's~" Raising an eyebrow, he turned his head and looked at the atrium outside the window behind him, "By the way, an old man who is too obsessed with gardening now." Turning back to look at Zack, squinting, "This office is also where I grew up and spent the most, hehe, so, to answer your question, my husband is not a baseball fan, I am, hehe, you can say, well, bat lover, that bat is mine." ”
This is probably telling Zach that this office is hers, more about the meaning of the man Falken, and that baseball lovers are not the same as bat lovers.
What else could Zach do but continue to nod with apologetic eyes after listening. Silently walking away from the bat and looking at the next collection, "You're also a hockey hockey...... Sorry, hockey stick lovers. "In the display case in front of me is an equally old bat.
"Yes~"
Zach nodded, next, "Golf." ”
"Yes~"
Go on, "Ice Hockey." ”
"Hehe, yes~"
Go on......
After reading it all, Zach looked at Fiona, "You have a very colorful youth." Zach pursed his lips, this thing doesn't sound normal no matter what, "You're very keen on stick-like 'swinging' sports." ”
Fiona's attention seemed to have finally shifted a little from the history books, and she shrugged with a smile, "I'm a girl~ You can't expect me to wave my fists like a wild man~" As she spoke, she raised her fist, as if to sigh, "They're so small~"
Zach didn't want to comment, but finally saw something normal, what seemed to be a picture of Fiona from her youth—a girl with heavy makeup tied around her waist with a shirt tied around her waist, a pool cue, and an eyebrow raised, leaning against the table. Well, it's not much normal either, considering that this is an office environment.
Zach pursed his lips, ready to look away.
"Heh, you've found something for my husband~"
Zach pursed his lips and had to keep looking at the picture, "I don't see Mr. Falken in this picture. ”
"Because he's the guy who took pictures, that's when we met~" Fiona seemed to fall into memory mode, looking at her smiling face, as if it was sweet, "He didn't know which unlucky ghost he stole this camera from, and he didn't know if the camera could still work, so he found someone to try it casually~" Tilting his head, "Hehehe, I still remember that night, after we were sure that the camera could be used, he went to the pawnshop, changed the money, and came back to share half of me, 'thank you for cooperating' his original words, and,' Here's a picture of you, you're beautiful. ’”
Ah, youth.
If it weren't for Zack's deep knowledge that the woman with a smile on her face was the one who said, 'I'm tired of this kind of game', Zach would have almost cooperated and sighed, 'What a sweet encounter'.
Zach adjusted his mood and became a little more serious, "Fiona, if you still have something to do." Pointing to the textbook in front of him, "I can come next time." "It's impossible to get Zach to say that he wants money.
"Oh!" Fiona glanced at the time with a look of memory on her face that faded.
This action gave Zach a bad premonition.
Sure enough, "the time is almost up." Raising an eyebrow, "I can't let you come for nothing, right, hehe, don't worry." "Take out an envelope from the drawer, "Interested in staying here a little longer, I promise it will be fun~"
Interestingly, in a sense, Zach is already in agreement. Because of the vampire's hearing, the front door of Falken Manor is opening, and it is about to be lively.
Taking the envelope, not caring about the amount of it put away, Zach looked at Fiona, "Should I just sit here?"
"Please. Fiona pointed in the direction of the sofa, then gestured to the wine cabinet, "Please feel free~"
Za nodded obediently.
Fiona continued to look down at her history textbook, as if she had everything in mind, and Zach, considering what he had heard, didn't move the wine cabinet and sat honestly on the couch, waiting for the sound of rapidly approaching footsteps.
Syllable!
The office door was pushed open. The first is a gloomy and angry Falken, followed by four children, Charlotte and Sherlock, and Eve and Cindy.
"Honey?" Fiona looked up from her history textbook with a confused expression, "Why did you come back early, babies, why are you back too?
The answer to this series of questions was Falken's gloomy eyes, and then, probably fully aware that Fiona would not get out of the way of the desk, turned around, and was about to walk to the sofa, and his hand was also beckoning to the children behind him, but as soon as he turned around, Falken's face froze for a moment, because he saw Zach on the sofa.
And Zack's eyes were not on Falken, but on the children, Eve was the most insipid one, Gundy and Charlotte were already open-eyed, Sherlock, too small to ignore.
"Honey!" Fiona spoke again, this time with a hint of urgency in her tone, "You haven't answered me yet......"
"Why is Alice's other brother here?!" was already a clue to the way Lola called Zack, but it was still a little hard to imagine that Charlotte asked the question.
At the same time, almost instinctively, she looked at Charlotte with a 'mournful' look. Come on, these West End kids, who doesn't know what Zach does, and besides, do you have a special explanation of where these people came back to the manor - it's the police department!
"Baby, it's Mr. Grande. Fiona, the parent who had just said that she would not participate in education, was actually correcting her child's upbringing, and then, without pause, her eyes continued to look at Falken, "Honey, this is what I want to ask, Zach has been waiting here for a long time, what did you invite him to do? ”
Oh, that's the thing, oh, that's the thing.
Zach decided to be quiet and put a smile on his face. I should have moved the wine cabinet, at least now I can shake a wine glass or something, and I won't just sit here and feel the gaze on me shrink and tighten.
Falken looked at Fiona with a stretched face, then turned to the smiling Zach, then to the questioning and 'mourning' of the Cindy, and finally returned to Fiona, "Honey, what are you doing?" ”
"Oh, Charlotte's history project, I'm having a headache about what to do. Fiona's gaze fell on Eve, "Eve~ What are you going to do?"
"The first mayor of Barton, the genealogy of the Patton family. Eve replied.
"What a great idea!" Fiona raised an eyebrow, "Mind sharing this project with Charlotte? I've been flipping through books here all morning and haven't thought of anything!"
"Don't mind. ”
"Awesome!" Fiona immediately closed her textbook and stood up from behind her desk, "Let's go to the balcony and discuss~ I can help, I think I was hugged by Mayor Barton's father when I was a child......"
"Honey, I have something to ask the kids!" Falken interjected, gloomy.
"More important than Charlotte's history homework?"
"Yes!" is the same guy who used to ask a strange pretty girl to try out a camera at a bar, now almost gritting his teeth, "More important than that stupid history homework!!"
"Watch your language, dear. Fiona tilted her head, unable to tell what her expression was, "Whatever you want, my dear, after all, you are the man of this family." When he turned his face, he smiled clearly, "Children, I'll be on the balcony~ Charlotte, when your father's business is over, come to me." "Fluttering away.
"I can dodge it. When Fiona's footsteps disappeared, the silence in the office was broken by Zach without any sound.
"No!" it was still Charlotte, the girl pushed her brother, "Go to the balcony to find your mother!" and regardless of whether the other party wanted to, she pushed out the door, closed the door and locked it, and then rushed directly to her father, "Alice's other brother is staying here!!"
Zach wanted to remind him to call himself Zack, but it didn't seem like a good time.
Charlotte continued, "Father, who the hell is that woman named Heather?!!!!......! You ......" It wasn't that the accusation was too serious to be said, but that Pindy covered Charlotte's mouth, "Charlotte, don't say that!"
"Let go of me!" For boys and girls of this age, the woman still has an absolute advantage, Charlotte easily used her height advantage to get rid of Jindi's restraint, "This has nothing to do with you!!!
Before Maddy could react, Eve bowed down and said to Falken, "I should go back to Smith Manor...... too."
"No, Eve, you stay!" Charlotte grabbed Eve, "You should see the real West Enders, what we! are like!" Charlotte's thinking may be a little out of the way in the eyes of the uninformed, but we are all insiders-"Those West End people you'd rather keep your lips silent than answer! See it here!"
He actually glanced at Rindi, "Genty is at least a little right! Why is the 'privilege' of us children so meaningless! Because the real privilege is on these adults!! What these adults do, they need privilege!! Now, my father, is going to use this real privilege in front of us! Eve, you look at it! How entangled that little thing in your family is! If you want me to say, you are so good! You and your father should stay away from Smith while there is still some hope! Stay away from the West End! Stay away from this hellish place......
"Charlotte!!" Falken did exercise his privilege, but the privilege was called 'Father', "Shut up!!"
"Shut up?!It's a little late, isn't it?!" Charlotte probably wasn't her typical good girl, and almost followed Falken's last note to call back, in a girl's high-frequency tone, "You'd rather shut up while we're being questioned by the police at the police station!!" and a high-speed speech rate, "For example, they asked the woman named Heather to tell me and my brother when, like why the woman was approaching us, like why Eve was going to help us send that Heather, like ......"
"I told shut up!!" Falken took a step forward.
It was so bad that both Eve and Tindy instinctively stood in front of Charlotte. It's just that Tindy looks frightened, and Eve is still calmly looking up at her delicate face like a porcelain doll.
Instead of smiling on the couch, Zach stood up and walked over to Falken, "Falken." He reached out and grabbed Falken's arm.
Falken stood still, his body swaying, "I ......"
Whatever he wanted to say, he swallowed it back. As Charlotte's interrupted, half-open mouth closed, she raised her hand with great movement, pinching her fingers and pulling them from left to right in front of her mouth.
As soon as she looked at her father, Falken, with the most hateful eyes a girl could express, and after doing this permanent gag of her mouth, Charlotte pulled Eve and Kindi and said, "Let's go! Let's go to the balcony! I have nothing more to say to this man!!"
It was at this time that Zach finally understood the meaning of this chaos, the chaos that Fiona had created—attacking where it hurt him.
Do you think the pregnancy on an autopsy report hurts? No, that's where it really hurts. (To be continued.) )
