323: Chapter 331 Old Comrades Reunite 323: Chapter 331 Old Comrades Reunite “Mr.
Lopez!
Haha…
I really didn’t expect to see you here; I thought you old chap might have kicked the bucket.” Another man’s hearty laughter ca from outside.
“How can I die if you’re still alive?”
“Exactly.
You old chap still have a sturdy build, hardly any different from when you were young.”
When Jonathan Lopez went out, the private room door was not fully closed, so the several people inside all heard the conversation.
Emily Lopez pouted and said, “Who knows which of my dad’s old comrades this is, speaking so out of tune.”
Gina Lopez agreed deeply; their father, usually talking quite normally to others, occasionally putting on airs, but as soon as he t an old comrade, he would definitely adopt that sort of tone.
Mrs.
Lopez shook her head with a smile and said, “We don’t know who it is, but looks like your father is going to be out ssing around again tonight.”
The three won comnted on Jonathan Lopez lightheartedly, but at that mont Jas Brown’s face turned strangely awkward because he recognized that Jonathan Lopez’s comrade was actually Helen Wilson’s father.
This could indeed turn into a ss.
If both old guys co in together and see him, the only husband to the daughters of both families, wouldn’t that be a big joke?
Most critically, he’s neither Helen Wilson’s husband nor Gina Lopez’s husband, so the bla he’d bear would be even more grievous.
“Brother-in-law, what’s wrong with you?” At that mont, Emily Lopez saw the peculiar look on Jas Brown’s face and asked with puzzlent.
Gina Lopez and her mother both looked at him, leaving Jas Brown with no choice but to explain, “It’s nothing, maybe I just had a bit too much to drink.”
Emily Lopez imdiately showed disbelief, “Really?
We haven’t drunk that much.”
“I went to the other room to propose a toast a mont ago, drank a bit too quickly,” Jas Brown explained hurriedly and then secretly gave Emily Lopez a aningful glance.
Although Emily Lopez did not understand why Jas Brown did that, his glance made her realize that she should not ask further, which also ant that he did not want their mother to know sothing.
Mrs.
Lopez imdiately suggested, “Then let’s leave now, Jas also should go ho and rest for a while.”
Jas Brown startled, if he left at this mont, wouldn’t it be a real crash?
He quickly said, “How can that be?
Mom is celebrating her birthday today, we should stay and drink a little longer.”
“What’s there to drink anymore?
We have a birthday every year, and besides, we are just with family; do we really need to drink that much?
We’ve had our fill, so that’s good enough,” Mrs.
Lopez said, already standing up.
Jas Brown inwardly lanted, knowing Mrs.
Lopez was showing concern for him, but this concern ca at an inconvenient ti.
He hurriedly said, “Dad hasn’t co back yet, let’s wait a while.”
Mrs.
Lopez imdiately responded, “He’s right outside, let’s have a look.
It wouldn’t look good if we stayed here and didn’t et his comrades.”
Great!
Now Mrs.
Lopez was determined to go out, and Jas Brown could not find any suitable excuse at the mont, so he hurriedly made aningful eye contact with Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez.
Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez felt a bit puzzled; Jas Brown obviously didn’t want their mother to go out.
Could it be there was sothing she shouldn’t see?
As won, Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez suddenly thought of a reason.
Could it be that their father had soone else and was with them right now, and it just so happened that Jas Brown knew about it and was covering for their father?
If that was really the case, their father was certainly in the wrong, but as his children, they naturally could not blow the matter up.
The first thing to do was to help their father keep it from their mother, and then persuade their father to co back to his senses and cut ties with the woman outside.
This is basically the first reaction of most children: Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez, the twin sisters, thought the sa and made the sa decision.
However, Jonathan Lopez still didn’t realize that a look from Jas Brown could lead the two won to such thoughts.
If he knew about it, he would feel even more wronged than Emma Durant.
Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez, the twin sisters, took their mother’s arms from left and right.
Emily Lopez imdiately coaxed, “Mom, it’s your birthday today, you’re the star of the day.
Even if dad’s war comrades are here, they should co in to see you, right?
How can the birthday star go out to et them instead?”
Gina Lopez also quickly added, “Yeah, yeah, you don’t know dad, he will definitely bring them in to see you.”
Mrs.
Lopez insisted, “That would be so rude.
And those comrades of your dad, they have such great camaraderie with him.
Wouldn’t I be disregarding dad’s face if I didn’t go out to see them?”
Emily Lopez shook her mother’s arm and said, “What’s all this about face?
Dad’s comrades aren’t that fussy.
Besides, I haven’t had my fill yet.
If you go out now, won’t we have to go with you?
Leaving all this food on the table, you’re too cruel.”
Gina Lopez continued on from Emily’s words, “Yeah, we’ve been so busy chatting, I haven’t eaten much either.
I want to eat so more too.”
“You two kids, really,” Mrs.
Lopez adored her two daughters.
Seeing that they both claid to be hungry, she sat back down.
Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez both secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but at this ti, Jas Brown did not dare to relax at all.
Helen Wilson’s father and Gina Lopez’s father were comrades in arms.
It would be easy for them to talk about their children if they got chatting, and then it was quite possible that they would end up ntioning their son-in-law.
“Eh, that’s not right.
You two girls, you’re clearly not letting go out.
What exactly are you up to?”
Before Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez had a chance to fully exhale, their mother was already frowning, looking at them suspiciously.
A mother knows her daughters best.
How could she not know what they are usually like?
The strange behavior just now, keeping her from going out, was there sothing outside they didn’t want her to see?
As won, Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez’s mother was naturally also a woman, and moreover, a woman with more social experience than them.
The problems they could think of, their mother naturally thought of as well, her face suddenly changed, her body trembled a little, and her voice was sowhat dry as she said, “Are you hiding sothing from ?”
“No, no!” Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez imdiately shook their heads in unison, looking very determined.
“What do you an ‘no’?
Is there soone outside…
you don’t want to see?” Mrs.
Lopez’s voice was even trembling.
“No way!
Isn’t dad just chatting with his comrade outside?” Emily Lopez tried to explain, but at that mont, she felt extrely guilty and hurriedly looked at her sister Gina Lopez for help, knowing that their mother would trust Gina more.
Gina Lopez also felt inwardly distressed, and with a slight smile, she said, “Mom, what are you thinking about?
What could there be outside that you’d be afraid to see?”
“No, I have to go see for myself.” Mrs.
Lopez spoke and then suddenly stood up.
The reactions of her two daughters had made her too uneasy.
But just at that mont, the door from outside opened, and there stood Jonathan Lopez and Charles Lewis, the two n at the doorstep.
Seeing the two n, Gina Lopez and Emily Lopez were both stunned, as there seed to be nothing to fear about the two n.
Why wouldn’t Jas Brown let their mother go out just then?
