Chapter 38 Conflict (big chapter!)(1/2)
On February 2, another weekend, Evan and Audrey "climbed" in the park.
Audrey brought a sketchbook and Evan took the newspaper, which he bought at the entrance of the park.
"800,000 American steel workers joined the strike that swept across the country, pointing directly at the US Steel Corporation."
"Recently, strikes in Los Angeles, California have frequently occurred, and police have attacked strikers with tear gas."
The recent headlines are all related to strikes. Evan lost interest after reading them halfway. He put the newspaper aside, looked at Audrey who was dedicated to painting, and sighed: "It's hard to get out there, and it's peaceful here, it's really..."
"Why, isn't this good?" Audrey turned around and said, "Better than the war-torn Europe, even the United States is still like a paradise."
"Of course not!" Evan lay down on the grass as a pillow, looking up at the sky, "just... it feels a little bit divided!"
"Split?" Audrey put down her pencil and blinked at Evan, "I don't understand."
"I was working together some time ago, but now I've been fighting each other and bloodied..." Evan said in ambiguously, and Audrey was confused.
She stared at Evan, looking at his deep eyes, and blinked, she was also confused. She didn't hear anything Evan said later. After a while, she came to her senses and asked, "Evan, you seem to be very concerned about current affairs, politics and society, and you can talk very well. Will you devote yourself to this in the future?"
Evan heard this, laughed and shook his head, "Of course not. I'm just a keyboard man (Keyboardman), who only talks but doesn't do anything."
"Keyboard man? What is that? Is it derived from Superman?"
"You don't have to care about my own words."
Audrey glanced at Evan speechlessly, then asked, "So, Evan, what do you really want to do?"
"Don't say you haven't thought about it. Evan, you are different from an ordinary high school student. I've known you for almost half a year. I don't know many things about you. This is the only thing I'm sure of."
Evan smelled a hint of grievance and a little disappointment from Audrey's words, his face changed and he immediately stood up.
He asked seriously: "Audrey, do you really want to know?"
Audrey and Evan's eyes met, and after a moment of looking at each other, she nodded.
"Then listen..." Evan was just talking, and suddenly pulled Audrey over and held her in her arms, then fell backwards. Audrey subconsciously was about to struggle, and Evan's breathing came from her ears: "Audrey, don't move!"
Seeing that Evan was just holding her and no other moves, Audrey followed his wishes. She lay on Evan's chest, gently hit him with her right hand, and said angrily: "Don't you tell me!"
Audrey felt the vibration of Evan's bra, and Evan stroked her hair and said, "Audrey, before I met you, I didn't really think about what I would do in the future..."
"What about now?" Audrey looked around carefully. Seeing that no one noticed them, she continued to endure Evan's "freshness".
"Now, I have one big goal and two small goals."
"Big goal...I hope that in my lifetime, I and my family will be happy and fulfilled, and have no worries about food and clothing."
"Two small goals, first, I hope I can make a million in five years, second, I hope to form a family with the half of my life under the witness of God."
"That half of the hit? Who is it?" Audrey asked softly with her ears slightly red, her fingers pulling the buttons on Evan's bra.
"Haha, who else can it be..." Evan smiled and said, "The second small goal has been achieved half of it. Now she is being held by me, and she can't leave even if she wants to!"
"No, who said I can't leave anymore?" Audrey immediately stopped hearing this, and she pushed her hands away from Evan's arms. She supported her hands on the grass and raised her hands high to make Evan look good. But she saw Evan looking at Audrey with a smile, "Ha, admit it yourself!"
Audrey reacted, and in awe of shame, she had just pretended to come to Evan's bra with heavy hands.
"oh……"
Evan shouted in an exaggerated voice.
Audrey was afraid of breaking the person, so she stroked her hand to the place where she hit her and asked in a voice, "Is it okay?"
Evan took the opportunity to grab Audrey's slim hand, pulled her back into his arms, and said with a smirk, "You'll be fine if you don't move."
"Hmph!" After struggling for a while, Audrey calmed down and whispered: "It will lie!"
The two lay on the grass for a long time, until a gust of wind blew and the sketchbook was blown down, and Audrey quickly got up from the ground.
"It's all your fault. You can start and don't affect my painting!"
With a slap in Evan, Audrey picked up the pencil again. Evan looked at Audrey's red cheeks and felt very proud.
After a while, Evan, who was too idle, asked Audrey: "Just ask me, Audrey, let me tell you, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Are you a famous oil painter or a famous ballet star?"
Audrey paused slightly in her hand and replied, "Why are they all famous, can't they be unknown?"
Evan said with a natural expression: "How can that be done? From my perspective, you have the best potential in both painting and dancing, so how can you be silent?"
"Audrey, don't underestimate yourself"
"I'm not underestimating myself, but who can be sure of the future?"
"No, Audrey, you're just underestimating yourself!" Suddenly a voice came in, interrupting the conversation between the two.
The man suddenly appeared behind the two of them, over 1.8 meters tall. He came to Audrey, then looked down at Evan, looked up and down for a while, and said with an unkind look: "Evan, right? I'm not happy to see you when I first met, but after hearing what you said just now, I won't be on your face."
Evan looked confused when he heard this, who are you?
When he was about to get up to confront the strange man, Audrey next to him shouted in surprise: "Daddy, why are you here again?"
When Evan heard this, he was so scared that he sat back on the ground.
Yes, it's my father-in-law, no wonder he looks fierce.
It’s also my fault, why did I forget to ask Jason to take a photo of Audrey’s father for me?
Now that I was caught off guard.
Evan was calming down, and Audrey looked unhappy about her father's appearance. She put down the painting and stood in front of Joseph, frowned and said, "Daddy, what were you talking about?"
"Didn't you agree that I'll find time to bring Evan to see you? Why don't you keep your promise?"
"Audrey, you don't think about how many times have you pushed back since the day you promised me? Of course I don't need to do it." Joseph showed his majesty as a father, and pushed Audrey away and faced Evan.
"Get out of the way, Audrey, I'm going to say a few words to him."
At this time, Evan had already stood up from the ground. He met Joseph's gaze and thought that the other party should not have been here to break up, so he took the initiative to say to Audrey: "Audrey, let me do it."
When Joseph heard this, he became unhappy and scolded, "Hey, boy, don't point fingers at Audrey!"
Audrey glanced at Joseph who was a little nervous and felt uneasy, but Evan kept winking her and signaling him to deal with it. There was no way, Audrey could only walk aside. However, she did not go far, for fear that the two would have a conflict.
"Evan Warren?" Joseph lit a cigarette, turned the cigarette box towards Evan, and asked, "Get one?"
Evan waved his hand and smiled, "Thank you, I won't suck!"
"How can I not smoke? This is a must-have for men!" Joseph sucked the clouds and Evan looked uncomfortable.
Seeing Evan performing this way, Joseph threw the cigarette that had only taken a few sips on the ground and stepped on it with one foot. He looked at Evan, who was less than one meter away, and whispered expressionlessly: "Boy, I don't want to say anything more. I only ask, leave her! Stay away from her!"
Evan, who made a mistake in judgment, was stunned for a while, then sank his face and shook his head and said, "Impossible, Mr. Joseph!"
"Hmm? You know my name? Yes, Audrey will tell you." Joseph said self-righteously, "Don't say too much, Evan!"
"In the past, I thought Germany could not lose, but it has been bombed into ruins yet?"
Evan said: "It's different, Mr. Joseph, Germany is a lunatic, so it loses."
"Audrey and I are both rational and sober."
"I love Audrey, and Audrey loves me too!"
"Love? What a sacred word!" Joseph sneered: "How old are you, and you have to keep 'love' on your lips?"
"I'm only sixteen in physically, but it doesn't mean I'm not mature enough," Evan replied without hesitation: "Joseph, just like you still believe in sodium quenching at a very young age."
"You..." Joseph's voice suddenly increased when he was poked into the sore spot, "What did you say, Evan..."
"Daddy?" Audrey seemed to notice something and suddenly shouted.
This sound calmed Joseph down. He looked at Evan and said coldly: "Evan, I don't care where you know this from, don't use it to threaten me."
"I never thought of threatening you, Mr. Joseph!" Evan spread his hands and shrugged, "I just hope you don't interfere with us casually."
Joseph scratched his scalp anxiously. Facing this boy who seemed to be very confident and confident, he was at a disadvantage for a while. After a while, Joseph said again: "Okay, you won, boy!"
"But, do you really think it's a good thing for you to be together?"
Evan looked sarcastic: "Does anyone else think this is a bad thing?"
Joseph said anxiously: "Is that right, boy, if you think it's a good thing for Audrey to give up all the ballet that he's been going through for years because of you, I have nothing to say."
"If this is the case, don't think I promised to let Audrey be with you! Hum!"
Evan frowned when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Joseph, what did you say? Audrey gave up ballet? What's going on?"
"Haha, you don't know?" Joseph sarcastically said, "Is this what you call 'love'?"
After saying this, Joseph shook his head gently, patted Evan on the shoulder, and said, "Think about it, boy!"
He turned his head and greeted Audrey, "Go away, Audrey, let's go back and calm this kid down."
Audrey walked towards the two of them when she heard this, and she found that something seemed wrong with Evan's face.
"Evan, what's wrong?"
Evan said nothing.
Joseph urged, "Audrey, let's go home!"
Audrey glanced at Joseph, shook her head and said, "No, Daddy, you go back, I won't leave!"
