Chapter 518: No gift is too much (Fourth update, please subscribe)
Out the window, snowflakes were falling in droves.
New York snow in winter always comes to the city from time to time, big or small. The snow before Christmas also makes the Christmas atmosphere more intense. The popular song "Jingle Bells" always sounds on the radio. The cheerful music and the happy voices of the children blend together, and it always makes people feel happy. It makes people smile.
Light snowflakes are floating on the windowsill, and through the glass window, the little boy draws a smiling face on the naughty window.
A circle, two dots, and a raised mouth.
Soon there were several similar smiling faces on the window pane. Looking at the smiling faces on the window pane, the little boy also laughed.
Just here, through his smiling face, he saw a taxi parked on the side of the road. After the passengers got out of the car, the little boy's eyes lit up and he shouted,
"Mom "This is Aunt Grace, Aunt Grace is here."
After that, he ran over and opened the door, ran over regardless of the wind and snow outside, hugged Grace, and said.
“Aunt Grace.”
"Hello, dear little Jason."
Bending down, Grace handed the shopping paper bag in her arms to her nephew and said.
"Jason, this is a gift for you."
"Thank you, Aunt Grace."
When he took the gift and thanked him, Jason talked to The aunt walked towards home together, and when they were about to step onto the stairs in front of the door, Grace couldn't help but glance at the house next to her.
Is this that guy's home?
How is it possible? He is clearly the president, no, he is the king...well, he seems to be the president too.
How could it be possible to live there.
"Grace."
Peggy, who was standing in front of the door, saw her sister's eyes falling on the next door, a strange look flashed in her eyes, and her sister's actions touched her Some emotion deep inside.
"Sister,"
Grace walked over quickly and asked casually when entering the door.
"Is there no one living next door? No one has cleaned the snow on the stairs."
"Ah, there must be no one..."
My sister's words, let Pei Ji felt panicked, and then said again.
"However, every few days, someone will clean it."
Then Peggy entered the house with her sister. Before entering the house, she couldn't help but take a look at the next door.
She has lived here for two years and the owner has never come back.
Maybe you will never come back!
"Grace, how was your performance? I heard from the newspaper that it was a success, right?"
While chatting with her sister, Paige accidentally saw the smiling face painted on the window by her son. Her thoughts went back to that day on the train, when the guy proudly drew this smiling face on the window after having fun.
Later this symbol became exclusive to her and her son, well, and him.
"Performance, performance, okay, I'm just a small role."
Grace, who was a little confused, chatted with her sister.
Why come here?
She didn't know it herself, could it be because that guy was next door?
No, he's not next door. Maybe it's just his house next door, a very inconspicuous one.
While the two sisters were chatting absentmindedly, Jason was sitting by the fireplace playing with toys. In addition to the wrapped Christmas gifts, Jason poured out of the paper bag. There was also a newspaper in the shopping paper bag.
After playing with toys for a while, Jason accidentally glanced at the newspaper, then picked up the newspaper in surprise and said.
“Mommy, the man in the newspaper looks like daddy!”
Jason's shout made Grace stunned. At this time, Jason had already run to her mother with the newspaper and said.
"Mommy, look, this man looks a lot like dad!"
What!
Grace grabbed the newspaper and asked.
"Jason, do you mean him?"
"Yeah, but he's not wearing a military uniform. Mommy, can I show my dad's photo?"
This, what's going on!
Looking at her sister and Jason in surprise, Grace said.
"Peggy, what, what's going on..."
Grace's voice was trembling, how could it be him!
Is he Jason's father?
When did they meet?
"You, you said that, that person..."
My sister's question made Paige embarrassed.
“Uh, um, um, Jason, can you go upstairs first?”
After her son went upstairs, Paige took a deep breath and said.
"You know, after a child goes to school, someone will always ask about his father, so, that's why I told him, fortunately, he used to be a soldier." "Is it him?"
Grace took a deep breath and asked.
"Yes, yes..."
Her sister's answer completely shattered the luck in Grace's heart,
"You, when did you meet?"
"In 43 years, in Havana, and on the train in Washington. , Just that time.”
After telling this secret, Paige finally felt a lot more relieved.
“God, I thought I would never tell anyone else.”
It's really him!
Looking at her sister, Grace didn’t even know what to say for a moment.
Peggy, Li, they have known each other since four or three years, and they have children...
"Then, how did you tell Jason."< br>
“Soldiers, there are always many risks on the battlefield...”
Although Paige's words became quieter and quieter, Grace already got the answer - the guy is dead!
In Peggy’s explanation to her son-his father had died gloriously on the battlefield.
"That liar deserves to die..."
Her sister's explanation made Grace finally breathe a sigh of relief and asked again.
“Is that why you bought this house? Just to be his neighbor?”
"I thought I would run into him..."
Suddenly Paige stopped talking. She looked at her sister in surprise and asked.
"Grace, how do you know his home is next door? Do you know him?"
My sister's rhetorical question made Grace immediately nervous and she didn't even know how to answer her sister's question. .
“I, I...”
Grace quickly changed the subject and said.
"He is in New York."
"Grace, don't change the subject, tell me how you met him!"
Paige looked at her sister and asked road. What's more important is how to know he lives in isolation.
"I, I...this..."
Faced with the questioning from her group sister, Grace came up with a quick answer.
“I like Princess Margaret very much. He is the husband of the princess, so I got to know her by the way. I didn’t expect that he actually lived here, right next door to you!”
"Ah...is that so?"
Seeing that her sister was a little confused, Grace quickly explained.
"Yes, sister, you need to read more magazines. Now everyone is paying attention to Princess Margaret..."
Seeing that her sister believed in her, Grace couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
Being as witty as me, she successfully passed the test!
Just at this moment, Jason had come down from upstairs, holding a photo frame in his hand.
"Auntie, look, this is my dad, have you seen him?"
Jason asked, looking at the Christmas tree.
"It's a pity that I have never seen him. Mom said that he died on the battlefield, but Liz and the others didn't think so. They said that if Dad died on the battlefield, there would be a medal, but I don't have one here. If ..."
Looking at the people in the photo, Jason said.
"If there is a Santa Claus, I hope he can send my father back to me. This is the Christmas gift I want..."
The nephew's words made Grace unable to help but Feeling heartache, she quickly knelt down and comforted her.
"Don't worry Jason, Santa Claus will definitely bring him to you one day, um...as a gift!"
When talking about gifts, Grace felt panicked for no reason. She suddenly realized a problem. That guy... wouldn't he also give her a gift?
It seemed like...in an instant, she panicked.
Thinking of her belated relatives, Grace couldn't help but panic. Damn, she couldn't be so lucky...
Just at this moment, the song "Jingle Bells" sounded on the radio again. "Jingle Bell", although the music was very cheerful, Grace's mood became more and more heavy, her eyes helplessly looked out the window, looking at the falling snowflakes outside the window...
