Chapter 974: Won't Let Goodness Down
Marco was silent for a moment, and then said a little embarrassed: "I work as a construction worker in the docks, and I am responsible for mixing concrete ......."
Alvin hesitated for a moment, looked at Marco, who seemed to be determined to go the right way, and said: "There is still a place for the security guard of the school, 5,000 yuan a month, the salary is not high, but Emma can enter the school, where she does not need to spend a penny."
Do you think you can feed Emma in this way? ”
Marco rubbed his hands excitedly, spun around a few times and then looked at Emma and grinned and said, "I can, I can, in fact, I don't have to spend money myself, I will definitely be able to save enough for Emma's college tuition......"
Alvin looked at Paxton and Anne and said with a smile, "Forgive me for being arbitrary, but I don't think you should refuse to let Emma go back to her father's side, do you?" ”
Anne covered her mouth in Alvin's stunned gaze and shed tears vigorously as she nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we're glad Emma's dad was able to take her back......"
Saying that, Anne seemed to feel that she had said the wrong thing, she stood up and ran to Emma's side, hugged Emma, who was a little thin in love, and cried while saying, "I'm sorry, I'm just glad you found Dad, we still love you......"
Emma seemed to be very accustomed to Anne's temper, and the 7-8-year-old girl patted Anne's shoulder comfortingly, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Mother Anne, now that I have two fathers and a mother, does that mean I will be happier......"
Anne wiped her tears and nodded desperately, then held Emma's cheek as if she couldn't get enough of it......
Shangqi looked at the kind-hearted Anne, who was a little excessive, and he finally began to wonder if what he was doing was right, that it was impossible for such a kind person to hurt Lucy and Sam......
Just when Shangqi couldn't help but want to say something, Lao Cheng, who had been silent from beginning to end, walked up to his side and pulled him, sighed and said, "Don't hesitate, you are a person who practices martial arts, you can't hesitate in everything!"
Watch how Alvin handles today's events, and then keep it firmly in mind. ”
Saying that, Lao Cheng sighed a little sadly, and said: "Originally, my uncle should have come forward to help you solve these things, but I don't have the sharpness I had back then!"
Sam is a fool, and when you want to help him, you have an extra burden on your shoulders.
It's not something you can solve by snatching Lucy back......
That's just a starting point, and the results can be good or bad......
We Chinese people pay attention to helping people to the end, sending Buddha to the west, and halfway will make everything run out of your imagination.
You are kind-hearted, since you have decided, you are responsible for this father and daughter, otherwise you can't imagine the consequences!
You're not ready at all......"
Shangqi looked at Uncle Cheng with a complicated expression, and then turned his head to look at Alvin who was smiling bitterly, and he suddenly realized that Alvin was going to help him take over the responsibility that should have been borne by him......
Lao Cheng looked at his unlucky nephew and sighed helplessly, this kid still wants to be a Jianghu person, and now it seems that he is not even qualified to walk in the rivers and lakes.
The heart is not hard enough, the courage is not big enough, and the will is not firm, this is still a fart of the rivers and lakes? Let's honestly do a good job of the waiter!
Alvin looked at Sam, who was anxious and about to tear his uniform, and he smiled wryly and said, "Sam, do you know how to be a good father?" ”
Sam looked at Alvin with a little confused eyes, his mouth subconsciously opened and closed a few times, and then said with a big tongue and a very firm tone, "I, I will have a lot of time to think about how to be a good father......
It takes patience, listening, and pretending to listen even if you can't.
I'm not a perfect father, but I'll do my best! ”
The wry smile on Alvin's face grew, and he then asked, "What do you do when you find out one day that you can't take good care of Lucy, even though you try your best?" ”
Sam listened to him sadly and turned his head to look at Lucy, who was looking at him with his hands folded and looking at him with encouraging eyes, and said with a little difficulty, "I don't know......"
Lucy's sad tears flowed instantly, and she looked at Sam who was at a loss and shouted, "Sam~"
Sam hammered his head twice with his hands clenched into fists, and the boss with his mouth open stammered for a long time, then looked at Lucy and said sadly, "I can only do my best, but I really don't know, everyone says I can't be a good father......
I'm sorry Lucy, I'm sorry!
I can only do my best, I can only do my best ......"
Lucy jumped off the barstool and ran to Sam, tugged at his clothes to make him squat, and while helping him wipe his tears, she comforted him and said, "No, Sam, I'm lucky, you're different from other people's dads, no one's dad can always go to the park."
Don't be sad, in my heart you are the best dad......"
Sam nodded like a child with tears in his eyes and said, "I know, I know, you're the best Lucy......"
Saying that, Sam hugged Lucy as if he was holding his treasure, he looked at the Paxtons and said, "There are many places where I am not as good as you, but there are also some places where I am better than you......"
Saying that, Sam looked at Alvin with a complicated expression and said nervously, "Better than any of you." ”
Alvin looked at the father and daughter and sighed with a little emotion, and muttered to himself: "Yes, 'love' really doesn't need IQ, what's wrong with me?" When did I start to hesitate? ”
Glancing at the crying Anne and Paxton with a complicated expression, Alvin shook his head with a wry smile, it turned out that he couldn't bear to let the good people down, and their kindness would make him start to examine his own practices and make him hesitate......
"Annie~"
Alvin looked at Anne, whose eyes were red, and just wanted to say something, Anne cried again, choked up and said: "Lucy is a good boy, but I can't watch her live with Sam, then she has no future at all......"
Before Anne's words fell, Lucy screamed angrily at Anne, "No, Sam is the best dad......"
Anne was stunned by Lucy's scream, and then she fell into Paxton's arms and cried~
Alvin looked at Annie, who seemed to be made of tears, and glanced at Paxton sympathetically, and he said with difficulty: "Man, if I swear to take care of this father and daughter, will you believe me?"
I will find a suitable apartment for Sam, where they are safe.
Then Lucy can go to my school, which will keep her in 12th grade! ”
Paxton obviously didn't expect Alvin to say this, he looked at Alvin a little overwhelmed, and stammered: "But, but we swore to God~."
The judge wouldn't agree to give Lucy to Sam either......"
A little blonde girl next to her who had not spoken, she just bit her fingers and looked at the crying Anne stupidly at first, until Paxton spoke, she turned to Lucy and said, "Lucy, are you leaving?" Then there will be no one to play with me, and my mother will be sad, and she will cry every day when she is sad......"
Alvin watched Lucy apologetically find the little blonde girl, the two girls came together and kept whispering, he covered his head with a big head, and sighed a little desperately.
Thinking about it, it seems that in the end, it seems that the Paxtons give the most, and then they don't get anything, maybe their sense of responsibility will make them worry about Lucy.
For the first time, Alvin found out that the "good guys" were so difficult to deal with, because he couldn't bear to let them down.
Looking at Paxton, who kept comforting Annie, Alvin thought about it and said seriously, "Where do you live and where do you work now?"
Would you mind having one more foolish neighbor if possible? He may have a daughter with him! ”
Paxton smiled a little awkwardly and said, "We don't have a place to live now, we rented the house before, and after the rat disaster, I don't think the landlord there will be renting to us."
But I work as a trader at a stock brokerage firm on Wall Street, and I can find a new house very quickly. ”
Alvin looked at Paxton in disbelief, and said, "You don't even have your own house?" ”
Paxton glanced at Marco with a little embarrassment, and said in a low voice: "The previous house was mortgaged to the bank because it was going to treat Emma, and then the demon invaded, and the price of the house ...... So I chose to give up there ......"
Alvin had the urge to rip Paxton's head off and see what kind of person would mortgage his house for someone else's boarding child?
Of course, losing your house was an accident, but it's really ...... to be able to make that kind of decision
"How do people like you get mixed up on Wall Street? How is your current job? Alvin asked curiously.
Paxton rubbed his hands a little crampedly, and said, "Actually, it's not bad, the boss is a good friend of my tutor at Princeton University, and he treats me well......"
Alvin looked at Paxton's expression and knew that his job might not be as good as he said.
Of course, a regular job on Wall Street wouldn't be bad, but at least it would be fine for them to establish themselves in the middle class in New York.
"Do you know someone named Jordan?? The people of Beckford? He told me that he was famous on Wall Street! ”
Paxton was stunned for a moment, and then said in surprise: "Of course, the wolf of Wall Street, he is the idol of all traders, and his autobiography is almost universally owned on Wall Street!" ”
Alvin breathed a sigh of relief, and then said, "He's working for me now, would you be happy to change jobs?"
Then I'll find you a good house in Hell's Kitchen's location near Manhattan, and of course, rent it to you......"
Saying that, Alvin glanced at Sam, shook his head helplessly, and said, "But you will have one more neighbor, what do you think?"
Let's use time to prove what is best for Lucy......
She does need a complete family, but it seems that she needs a father who only knows how to love her......
I'm not a judge, and I don't have the right to decide where Lucy belongs, but I'm sure you're all doing it for her good.
To be honest, I'm a little ashamed of your kindness!
It's never my style to let good people down......
Hell's Kitchen is not a paradise for goodness!
But if you decide, I'll say to you, 'Welcome to Hell's Kitchen!' ’”
