Chapter 7 Guardians
"goodbye!"
"Waiting for my good news!"
At the door of the white official residence, Evan, who had achieved the expected goal, personally sent lawyer Albert to the door, and the two shook hands and said goodbye. After watching Albert leave the door, Evan turned around the house, and was hugged by Virginia, who was excited, halfway through, and asked: "Evan, how much do you think your invention can sell, one thousand dollars? Or two thousand dollars?"
Virginia invested 100 dollars in Evan, which was her savings for many years. She was already ready to waste the money, but she didn't expect that Evan, who used to brag, was particularly reliable this time. When she thought of getting a return so soon, Virginia was happy and couldn't help but plan the purpose of these unexpected wealth.
Christmas is coming soon, and this time I can spend a little more gifts to everyone.
Robert Jr.'s birthday is just a few weeks ago, and he will participate in a drama performance again. He can give him one and one beautiful leather shoes first.
Recently, Dora and Dorothy have practiced piano diligently. They must really like it. They can give them new music scores.
Also, my parents’ wedding anniversary seems to be coming soon, so what gift should I give? Forget it, let’s discuss it with Evan.
Just as Virginia was thrilling, on the other side, Albert left the residence and took a car. Instead of going home, he stopped halfway and walked into a coffee house with elegant tastes.
Here, there is someone waiting for him.
This person is no one else, but the governor's wife, Evan's mother, Nina.
In the empty and quiet coffee house, Albert took off his hat with his right hand, saluted Nina, and said respectfully: "Madam, you have been waiting for a long time."
"No need to be so polite, Albert!" Nina reached out and pointed to the seat opposite: "Please sit."
After Albert sat down as he said, a waiter came over and ordered the order directly and said, "Mei's coffee."
In front of Nina, there was a half-drinking latte. After the waiter left, she looked at Albert and asked, "Tell me, what nonsense did that naughty guy make to you? If he is too much, ignore him."
After Albert put his briefcase and hat so well, he replied: "Madam, Evan is not making a fuss."
"The request he made is very legitimate, and I have agreed."
"Oh?" Nina was a little surprised. "So, do you think his nonsense invention is valuable?"
"certainly!"
"Since that's the case, I'll trouble you. Applying for a patent is not something he can do," Nina said with a smile. "Evan doesn't have much money. You will definitely not offer a high price for the sake of our couple. So, tell me, how much less is my mother who makes up for him."
Albert waved his hand and stopped Nina from taking out her wallet, saying, "Madam, no need, I'll confiscate a penny."
Nina paused her hands and looked at Albert quietly with a cold face: "Albert, please make sure to explain clearly."
Albert and the governor's family have been with each other for decades, so she naturally knows Nina's temper. She is a full-time housewife, a competent governor's wife, and a good wife of the governor. She takes care of housework and educates her children. She has never made any mistakes for decades, allowing her husband Earl to work hard in politics. In this way, she will not let anything that is unfavorable to her husband happen before her, even if the person in the relationship is Albert, who is close to their family.
Albert quickly explained: "Madam, please don't get me wrong."
"The reason why I didn't collect money was just because I had promised to become Evan's partner and set up a company to operate his invention. Since I was a partner, collecting money was another model."
"Partner?" After hearing Albert's explanation, Nina felt even more and more strange. What Evan created really made Albert like? Is it because I have no knowledge or Albert has other ideas? But looking at Albert's appearance, it doesn't seem like he is lying to herself.
Unable to find the flaw, Nina could only believe in Albert, after all, she was her husband's friend for many years.
Thinking of this, Nina took a sip of coffee and said, "Since that's the case, please be more concerned about Evan's affairs. If you need any help, you can also ask Evan to come to me."
Seeing that Nina was finally relieved, Albert breathed a sigh of relief. As for Nina's promise, Albert just pretended not to hear it. If his partnership with Evan needs to let the governor's wife come forward, it means that his identity as a partner has come to an end.
"Okay, then, if nothing happens, I'll say goodbye first."
"Please give your own advice."
After the secret meeting, Nina returned to the official residence. When she saw her mother come back, Virginia couldn't wait to report that Evan's invention had a place to go, but was taught a lesson by her mother and Evan.
"The patent licensing has not been obtained yet, what are you dreaming about?"
"You can't spend money indiscriminately, do you know?"
The first sentence comes from Evan, and the second sentence comes from Nina.
When the mother and son were preached together, Virginia turned a deaf ear and grinned all day long, very happy.
At the same time, after hearing Evan's words, Nina, who had originally wanted to have a good chat with Evan, also gave up this thought.
A new week is coming.
After breakfast, the family went their separate ways as usual.
At 7:20, the siblings arrived at the campus and were separated near the school gate.
Evan did not go to the classroom, but was attracted by a stray cat. It was a brown Garfield cat, and he had been active near the campus. Evan had seen it several times before. At that time, it was dirty and his eyes were smart, but no one wanted to get close to it. Today it looked clean and tidy, with bright fur, and didn't look like a stray cat at all.
After several attempts to capture him but failed, after being fled, Evan patted the dust on his hands and said, "Who is so kind to bathe the stray cat?"
Before the bell rang, Evan came to the classroom, greeted Audrey, and after a few words of quarrel with Kairole, the boring course (for Evan) began.
During the lunch break, Kai Luoer called Audrey to hold a sisters lunch as usual. Surprisingly, Audrey seemed to be in the mood today and declined Kai Luoer's invitation.
Seeing this, Kailuo took it for granted that Evan made people unhappy and glared at him angrily. Evan, who was inexplicably wronged, was confused and shrugged, and ignored Kailuo while worried.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the class in the classroom ended, and Evan walked towards the school gate alone with his schoolbag. He was still not participating in any clubs and was about to go home.
Virginia is ready to sign up for the SAT exam and is studying hard. She will go home one hour later in the future.
When Evan went home alone, he didn't feel so lonely, so he was better off saying that he was just talking to him. He was alone, very free, and it was convenient to do anything.
As soon as he crossed the school gate, Evan, who was sharp-eyed, saw the Garfield cat he had not caught in the morning. Perhaps it was in line with the truth that "matter determines consciousness", because his body became younger and his childlike heart had moved in his heart, and he decided to catch it no matter what he said.
Evan walked over carefully. Just as he was about to carry out the arrest, a figure took the lead.
Evan saw the man clearly, stopped immediately, and looked from afar.
Audrey! It’s her. Speaking of which, she really likes pets, but isn’t she likes dogs? She is so good to cats, aren’t she afraid of fighting between the two sides?
"Fei'er, come, let me see if you are good today."
Garfield was obediently held in his arms by Audrey in school uniform. Even if Audrey looked left and right, she did not get fur, but instead she looked very enjoyable.
"Very good, Fei'er is very well-behaved today, and I'll bring you some delicious food tomorrow."
"Meow!"
After the examination, Audrey put the cat back on the ground. Garfield looked at Audrey, screamed, and trotted away.
Audrey withdrew her gaze and the smile on her face gradually disappeared. There was no one left and right. Audrey carefully lifted the sleeve of her left arm, and a piece of green skin under her clothes was exposed. She touched her right hand gently, and then her whole body trembled in pain and bit her silver teeth.
"hiss!"
Audrey frowned and lowered her cuffs, thinking that the injury would probably take some days to heal.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Audrey forgot the pain and walked towards the bus stop ahead.
Her father's work has stabilized and she is familiar with the route. In order to save a little, Audrey refused to pick up her father's car and decided to take the bus by herself.
There are two bus stops near Sacramento High School, one north-south and one east-west.
Audrey went to the east-west one.
After waiting for the bus for more than ten minutes, taking the bus for a few minutes, and after more than twenty minutes, Audrey got off at a station on Twelfth Street.
Her house is nearby, and it is quite convenient to get there after walking a few dozen meters.
After getting off the bus, Audrey did not rush home, but walked to a grocery store.
Yesterday, I didn’t buy the things because of an accident. Today... I probably won’t meet those people again, right?
Audrey was worried, observing around and walking towards the grocery store.
Maybe it was because of what he was afraid of. As Audrey just stepped on the steps in front of the grocery store, two bald young men walked out of the store. Seeing the two, Audrey paused, her face changed drastically, and she turned around immediately while screaming in her heart. Her clenched fists showed how nervous she was at the moment.
As soon as Audrey turned around, two young men who were not serious at first sight also saw her. They smiled knowingly, and while moving to follow, they greeted frivolously, "Don't leave, Audrey."
"There must be a reason God has allowed us to meet so quickly. Audrey, I don't think we should go against God's will."
The young man's nonsense was so scared that Audrey's face turned pale and her steps couldn't help but panic. Seeing that they were about to be caught up with the two, she turned around and retreated while cursing: "If God could hear it, he would drop a lightning bolt to kill you, two scum."
It seemed that Audrey was shocked by the sudden outbreak, and the two young men paused.
After scolding, Audrey stabilized her feet again and quickly escaped the entanglement between the two.
The two looked at each other and did not chase after each other, but joked with each other: "Jerry, you're too anxious. Look, let's scare people."
"No, Tom, I think you're too anxious."
While complaining to each other, the two walked into the bakery on the side of the road, which was less than thirty meters away from the grocery store.
As soon as he entered the store, the vicious young man cursed and shouted: "Hey, old guy, time is up, pay back the money quickly..."
