Chapter 1054 Any less will not do
Throughout the night, no news came, the body has sounded the signal of extreme sleepiness, but the spirit is holding strong, no sleep.
The night dissipated, the sky was fish-belly white, and the rain on the porch began to thin out, as if knocking out the end of the empty-handed.
Leo finally couldn’t sit still, got up violently, just took his jacket and went outside, “I have to set off the Vance family today.”
This was discussed before the plan began, and in the event of an accident, the fish will die.
But this is always the next best thing, once the real action, Edgar and the police to join forces, then even if we are reasonable, will become unreasonable to be controlled party, so as a last resort, take this step is extremely inappropriate.
“Let’s wait.” I called out to Leo and looked at the wall clock, “There’s still half an hour before the agreed-upon latest time, and with all the rain last night, maybe it was delayed.”
“No patience.” Leo’s face was not very good, but did not really leave, and after thinking for a while with a sullen face, decided to let Dennis make a decision.
“You came up with this plan, tell me, by now, are you going to continue to sit here indifferent?”
There are no obvious words of blame in the words, but between the lines, but all are the indignation to hold Dennis responsible.
He didn’t mean to take it personally, but now that the elders’ lives and deaths are uncertain, no one can be calm.
I believe that Dennis, after the reunion, he has long ceased to be the former, in order to achieve the purpose, at the expense of the interests of the people around the cold-blooded machine, but Leo is still stuck in the past on his perception, did not come out of it, no one is wrong.
I opened my mouth to explain for Dennis, but his low voice rang out from the direction of the floor-to-ceiling windows, “I’ll go with you.”
The final time of the appointment is even if the plan does not work, but also can safely bring back a few elders safely the latest time limit, before that, all actions begin to be detected by the other side, are the possibility of hurting the enemy a thousand, self-loss eight hundred.
But Dennis actually agreed to join Leo in the adventure.
He finished looking at me, lifted his feet and walked over, picked up the air conditioning blanket next to him and draped it over my shoulders, his voice was soft and husky, “Go up and get some sleep, I promise you I will bring Mom and Dad and Uncle Link back safely.”
After giving me a little smile of peace, Dennis let go and walked towards the door.
Even Leo was taken aback by his reaction and froze for a moment before coming back to his senses and lifting his feet to follow.
The two passed by the stairway, but the phone rang abruptly, as if the lightning that broke through the long sky last night, instantly igniting the atmosphere of the whole house.
Leo immediately took out his cell phone, put it to his ear and answered it, and after a few seconds, looked grim and hung up.
“Well?” I couldn’t help but ask.
Leo turned his face to look at me and nodded languidly, “All mastered.”
I noticed that Dennis’s eyebrows, which had been tightened, eased up at this moment.
He is not aware of how selfish those practices once were, and is looking forward to his own transformation and being able to truly protect my family.
Last night was more like an examination paper, failure, perhaps he will not have the courage to stay by my side, only success, to prove that today Dennis has really changed, into a real man who will protect me and my family at all costs.
Dennis breathed a sigh of relief, and so did I. The moment our eyes collided, the corners of our lips curved in tacit agreement.
“Well, since things are set right, I’ll go get the people back, you two couples are both very sick and have stayed up all night, hurry up and rest upstairs.”
Leo said and prepared to leave alone.
Dennis reached out and grabbed his arm and said indifferently, “Toby will take care of it, Deborah and the baby will be here this afternoon, and you’re going to meet them with this honorable face?”
“Deborah?” Leo was baffled, “What do you mean?”
Dennis let go and walked toward me, saying as he did so, “I mean, I had arranged for a private jet to Country M two days ago, and Deborah and the baby were already on their way.”
I wondered when he had arranged this, with the same expression as Leo, “You were prepared for this?”
Dennis stood still, reached out and wrapped his arm around my shoulders, smiling at the corners of his eyes, “Since it is a family reunion, any one less will not work, not to mention, the great-uncle can not see his wife and children, the heart is not solid, easy to fire, for the sake of family harmony, it is necessary to plan ahead.”
Leo’s eyes narrowed slightly and he raised one eyebrow, “Why does that sound like a complaint to me?”
Dennis shook his shoulders in a good mood and tossed the subject to me, “Honey, did I do something wrong?”
“Hmph …” How can I say this? On one side is Leo’s sharp gaze, and on the other is Dennis’s pretend aggrieved little expression, whoever is chosen is guilty.
Look left and right, I simply dropped my shoulders, broke away from Dennis’s arms, yawned and walked upstairs, “I’m sleepy, what’s the matter wake up and talk, three children to you two, I want to sleep well, no one to disturb, bye!”
Behind him, Dennis followed suit and said, “You heard my brother-in-law, Clara said, the kids are counting on you, so I’ll go up and stay with Clara, otherwise she won’t sleep well.”
“Hey – you two couples! Playing with me!” Leo couldn’t say anything, and when he chased her to the staircase, Dennis simply took three steps, and disappeared at the entrance of the building in the blink of an eye.
The only thing that responded to him was an empty staircase.
It’s the weekend, but the kids’ biological clocks are spot on. No surprise, Leo will still be able to sleep for three hours before he has to get up with the kids!
When people are jealous and tired, near the pillow sleep will instantly erode the whole body, a lie down, my consciousness began to blur, vaguely feel the movement of Dennis lying down beside me, but has been sleepy to no strength to respond, only muttered the words not awake, “after all will not happen again, right?”
“Not anymore.” Dennis sidled up to me and buried his head in the crook of my neck, his warm breath hitting my ear, “Go to sleep, Uncle Link and the others have arranged to rest close by, I’ll wake you up when the guys get back.”
It was like a sedative, feeling Dennis’ familiar body heat and smell, and the next second I fell into a deep sleep.
…
It was afternoon when I woke up, and the bedroom was quiet, as if I was the only one left in the house.
Thinking that Dennis had gone to deal with Edgar, he prepared to go downstairs to call about the situation.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
When I got to the living room, I realized that Dennis and the kids were there on the couch, only there was no sound at all.
Dennis is holding a tablet, supposedly on business, Jamie is in Internet class, but with headphones, Clarie is holding a thick book, not sure what it is about, and even Snowy is honestly lying on the table copying English words.
The scene looks a little off anyhow.
Dennis was the first to notice me and got up as soon as he put the tablet down, walked over to me and stole a kiss on the forehead, “Awake.”
“Hmm.” I nodded, “You guys are?”
Snowy heard my voice and immediately jumped up and complained, “Mommy you are finally awake, Daddy is bad, he won’t even let Snowy talk!”
Clarie immediately teased her, reaching out to scratch her cackle, “You’re not the one who’s been making too much noise, waking up Daddy and trying to wake up Mommy, little monkey.”
Snowy was tickled by her giggling, so she dodged to the side, her mouth still defiant, “Which is not! It was uncle who said-”
To the side, it seems to be aware of betrayed uncle, and self-conscious pursed his mouth, do not speak.
