As James leaves, Lola is pulling Alice around the stairwell. In fact, he was eavesdropping on the back porch across the door, Blake was chatting with Benjamin and Matthew.

Blake knew he couldn't talk to old Hank today, and as soon as James's car drove away, a stout man in a formal suit stood next to him without saying a word. This is the bodyguard of the Stone family, who is actually the guy who watched Blake.

Because the rain has stopped, the wet ground is rapidly drying out in the midday sun. Being able to come to the Grande House through Lola's relationship was already the most relaxed thing he could give in his work, and he gestured to Blake with a blank face.

Blake nodded helplessly and pushed the door open, "Lola is leaving." ”

"So early!" Lola pouted reluctantly, taking Alice's hand.

Blake smiled and shook his head, Lola's task had been completed, and the next step was to feed back the results to her, "I'll send you back to Reipter." ”

"Okay. Lola frowned, said goodbye to Alice, and silently followed Blake.

The girl who got into the car leaned in front of the window and waved goodbye to Alice. Her eyes drifted to Matthew, who was also waving, and Benjamin, who was lazily enjoying the sun, and Lola suddenly had a hint of resistance. The delicate upper lip pursed, hugged his arms, and leaned back on the thick and soft back of the chair as if he was angry.

It may have been because the sun was so hot after the rain, and there was a stuffiness in the car, and Brekra tugged at his neckline, and there was still a faint handwriting on his skin. Although he couldn't communicate with Old Hank, he seemed to be in a good mood, and looked at Lola with a smile, "Do you want to hear my opinion anymore?"

"No!" said Lola dryly.

Then, immediately, the girl's eyes drifted to the roof of the car, "Yes." ”

"Then I'll tell you. Blake seemed to like Lola's struggle, the inkblot tentative.

"Don't say it!" Lola replied dryly.

And then right away. She glared at Blake again, smiling, "Do you want to say it or not!"

Blake returns to Barton, and Lola is one of the happiest of the few. With Kyle's departure, Blake is the closest person to Lola to the role of 'brother'. And for some special reasons, Lola has some things that are easier to share with Blake.

"Okay. Then I said it. Blake smiled and waved his hand, then suddenly looked at Lola with a regretful expression, "You're finished." ”

"What are you talking about!" Lola glared at Blake.

"Do you want to hear the completely authentic version or the retouched version?" Blake tilted his head.

"Really!"

"Okay. Blake took Lola's hand sternly, "Benjamin treats you like a little girl, and Matthew treats you like a girl." To them, you are Alice's friend. Without. ”

Lola withdrew her hand and looked out the window. On Route 27, which usually looks very smooth, the surface of the silted puddles reflects a dazzling white light. Blake patted Lola on the shoulder, with comfort, and the word 'growth' still left a faint trace on the palm of his hand.

Retrace the route where the Stone family's car left. On the back porch of the Grande House, Zach tapped Benjamin's shoulder and asked with a smile, "What did you talk about?"

"You didn't eavesdrop?" Benjamin asked lazily as he looked at Matthew, who had already gone to clean the hammock.

"Nope. Zach squinted, ignoring Benjamin's teasing. Glancing up at the sun in the middle of the sky, he sat down next to Benjamin, "James's side needs my full attention. ”

The hammock in the backyard was full of leaves and debris that had been knocked down by the rain. The original pale yellow rope turned dark brown because it was wet, and it was impossible for anyone to lie down today. Matthew shook off the pile of clutter. Scratch your head and think about how to dry it.

Benjamin withdrew his gaze, a little curious, "What's wrong with James?"

Zach was glad that after the full moon ended, Benjamin's focus returned to the Grande House. After Zach explained, "You'd better rest in the afternoon. In the evening we went together. ”

Benjamin tugged at the corners of his mouth and shook his head helplessly, "I hate hospitals, there are pungent smells everywhere." Makes my head dizzy. ”

The vampire smiled out of the corner of his eye, "You can't smell those." Zach picked up a wine bottle. Yes, a whole bottle, "I'll fill a lot, a lot of blood in the afternoon." ”

Mirrors are just a small nuisance that vampires are easily exposed, and hospitals have an even bigger nuisance for vampires, which is temptation, resistance, the blood of people who are dead or not yet dead.

Old Hank came from the warehouse with a wooden box stuffed with miscellaneous items, followed by Danny, a phantom man who was also holding a wooden box.

Old Hank glanced at the two people on the back porch, his usual impatient look, "What about the kid?"

"Left. Benjamin tilted his head sideways. On the edge of the wooden box that Old Hank was holding, you can see the corners of the picture frame, which is obviously a photograph from the past.

"Humph!" said old Hank, snorting, "when will he come again." ”

He said Sunday afternoon, when the community work was done. Benjamin replied.

Old Hank, as if he had heard something annoying, pouted in disgust, stopped asking, and pushed the door into the room. After a while, he heard a voice reprimanding Danny a little softer.

Blame the old man.

The House of Grande is calm again, and everyone has their own business. After only half a day, the sun could not resist the laws of nature and gradually sank to the west. In the bright red sunset, the city of Barton is wrapped in moist moisture, and everything has a misty feeling.

Zach's fingers rummaged around the neckline, adjusting his tie. He doesn't know how many times he repeats this action, but after hundreds of years, you can do it in one go like him, without the need for a mirror.

"Is Benjamin awake?" Zach looked at Louise, who was ready, because it was a small party, so Louise was not dressed in a grand manner, just an ordinary dress, of course, in order to show the identity of his girlfriend, her skirt matched the color of Zack's tie. More meticulous women.

"Well, Danny went and called. Louise answered, tilting her head, and finally checking that the earrings on her ears were fastened. There was a hint of curiosity on her face, "That teenage friend of Danny, did he call to visit today?"

Zach raised the corners of his mouth, it was a helpless smile, "No." ”

Danny suddenly offered to go to the West End in the afternoon, saying he wanted to visit Willy. But Zach knew that Danny hadn't made any further moves since the last time he had gotten the address and phone number of Willy's new home.

Louise nodded, not knowing what to say. However, she quickly changed the subject, smiling and touching the necklace around her neck, "Is it too much? I don't want to be too deliberate." "Deliberately declare that Zach's girlfriend is so beautiful that you can't compare.

Zach smiled and grabbed Louise, "Not much at all." (To be continued......)
