What Was Meant to Come, Came
Susie was curious, "There are so many tears in the world, isn't it easy to collect them? Oliver, sister, are you okay?"
When the archenemies met, Susie couldn't help but yawn.
Oliver glanced at her and said with some annoyance, "The last drop of tears should be tears of love!"
Susie: "It's easy to find! There were so many people in this world who cried for love!"
Oliver: "..."
Forget it, even if I told her, she wouldn't understand!
That was her own tears of love.
Oliver was about to burst into laughter, feeling like he would never be able to accomplish this KPI in his lifetime.
What kind of love could she have had? Would she cry and shed tears for a man?
In the past, it may have been possible for several lifetimes, but in this lifetime, it is absolutely impossible!
She closed her heart with cement, refusing to admit to anyone who she had a crush on. Every time she saw those "I love you, do you love me?" kind of things, she couldn't help but laugh.
Susie looked worried: "Oh no, Oliver's sister is going to become an old spinster!!"
Oliver: "..."
With a swoosh, a slap landed unceremoniously on Susie's head.
Susie held her head: "Oh no! You ambushed me!"
Daring to hit Yama's head, risking one's life!
Wade was very protective and could play-fight with others, but not with his younger sister...
He ran over and stretched out his arms to block Susie, half jokingly and half playfully saying, "Don't bully my sister, or else don't blame me for hitting you!"
Wade waved his fist.
To his surprise, Megan looked down on him and said contemptuously, "Just because of you?"
Wade: "..."
Freaked out!
Susie quickly grabbed Wade and said, "Forget it, forget it, it's the New Year!"
Wade: Ahh, don't hold him back, he was about to beat Megan up!
Megan: La la la! Come on, if you dare, come and hit me!
Who is going to beat whom!
The arrival of the Elsher family and Oliver scattered many hidden sorrows and brought liveliness for a few days, and in the blink of an eye, it was already the seventh and eighth day.
On the seventh and eighth day, work resumed gradually. Martin had to go to the company, and Michael, David, Ryan, and Paul all had to return to work on time.
Michael asked curiously, "Aren't you going back to work yet?"
How dare Paul say that he specifically took leave and waited? He just said, "I haven't taken any vacation all year, so I took time off in lieu. I still have 15 days of annual leave, and I don't want to waste it."
Michael looked at David again and said, "And what about you? Why aren't you leaving either?"
He held the briefcase and waited for David to join him, but he didn't expect David, who used to be efficient, to be so slow now.
He frowned and said, "There is no way out."
Forget it, it would be too strange if he didn't leave.
Although the New Year has already passed, but...
David looked to the side.
Huck was accompanying Alana and they were talking. Occasionally, he had some words on the tip of his tongue but quickly covered them up.
David walked silently towards the outside, feeling gloomy in his heart. Michael had to catch up with him again and said, "Hey, you're so weird. If you want to leave, just leave. But once you leave, you don't wait for me!"
David muttered a curse at the fool, but then realized that being foolish also has its advantages.
Paul looked at Jonathan beside him and asked, "And you?"
Jonathan said, "I wasn't in a hurry."
The eldest brother and his acting skills could deceive the old lady, but how could they deceive him? He had been acting for many years.
All performances leave traces.
Jonathan observed for two days, and his heart gradually sank to the bottom, but he silently adjusted and recovered.
After the New Year, Niki was supposed to stay with the Murray family for a while, but considering what she would have to face later, Jonathan still asked her to go back.
When the house gradually quieted down, Alana began to feel that something was not right.
"Huck, what are you trying to say with all this hesitation?" Alana wondered. "Just say it already!"
Huck knew he couldn't keep it a secret anymore.
According to the timeline, the family will be notified to come and collect the body today.
His lips twitched, unable to stop trembling, and his eye sockets turned red involuntarily.
Alana's heart tightened: "What's happening? Ah? Has something big happened?"
"Don't worry, even if the sky fell, your big brother would be there to support you..."
Huck suddenly knelt down with a thud, his posture still upright but his face filled with guilt.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I..."
Alana's heart skipped a beat as a sense of unease washed over her, causing her heart to race.
"Huck, you..."
Before finishing the sentence, we heard hurried footsteps coming from outside.
"Sir, Alana, the military has sent someone..."
Standing on the stairs, Susie suddenly felt her hands and feet turn cold.
It came as expected.
Grandmother...
Would her grandmother be able to bear it?
Susie panicked and quickly ran downstairs.
She threw herself into Alana's arms and hugged her tightly.
Alana felt her heart sinking more and more, sinking deeper and deeper...
Turning back, her eyes were already red, she forced a smile and said, "Someone from the military has come, right? They've come to appoint Huck, haven't they?"
"Ada, hurry up and prepare some hot tea."
"What are you all standing around for? Hurry up and tidy up, don't let the leader be laughed at!"
Jonathan turned his face away, his throat feeling extremely blocked.
Martin and David didn't know when they had returned, standing at the door, silent.
Paul pressed his forehead, quickly looked up into the air, not letting his tears fall, so as not to be laughed at by his brothers.
Alana maintained a smile on her face and joked, "What are you guys doing? It seems like the military is here to catch traitors... but we, Huck, are definitely not..."
Huck suddenly burst into tears and cried out, "Mom...!"
