A and M's Daily Season 2

Chapter 21 A New Beginning

Lawyer Mi always comes back very late recently. He used to arrive home on time at 06:30 and have dinner at [-], but now he doesn’t come back until [-] or [-] in the evening. I asked him why he was there?What are you busy with?The answer was also hemmed and hawed, and he couldn't make it clear for a long time, obviously he was lying.

I hate people lying to me the most. If there is something wrong, it would be better to just say no, and have to hide it for a long time.Lawyer Mi is too upright, especially not good at lying. He is a person with a guilty conscience. If he behaved normally, maybe I wouldn’t see it through, but he doesn’t tell himself every time. I haven’t asked him yet, uncle. First I opened my mouth: "I have a lot of cases today, and I work overtime in the office, so I didn't pay attention to the time, so I came back very late today. By the way, have you eaten yet?", a series of words were fast and detailed...

There is almost no silver 300 taels here.

I'm too lazy to talk to him. Lawyer Mi used to fool me a lot in order to get romantic, and he said that he has to work overtime, traffic jams and other bad excuses, but in fact he went secretly to prepare gifts.I thought he was going to surprise me again, and I was still looking forward to it.

As a result, after two months in a row, the surprise did not come, and my uncle still came home late every day, which made me a little nervous.

During dinner, I casually asked him, "What kind of case are you busy with lately? It's so late every day?"

Mi Jinmao immediately stood up, and asked vigilantly: "What? What case, who did you hear about it, why are you interested in my case?" He pretended to change the subject, gnawed on the chicken leg, and said love words in his mouth: "asher, the chicken legs you made today are very delicious! I have never eaten such delicious chicken legs"

"..."

Knock on the table with a spoon to signal Mi Jinmao not to try to change the subject, and continue to ask: "Didn't you always like to tell me about your case before? Tell me about this case that makes you work overtime until eight or nine o'clock every day."

Uncle stuffed a mouthful of chicken legs, and my heart tightened when I asked him, he forgot to chew, and just stared blankly, rolling his eyes, trying to make up excuses.

Seeing him like this, I immediately became angry.The two have been together for so many years, and he has learned to hide things in his stomach? !Against him!

He slammed the cutlery on the table, pushed the table away and went upstairs. Seeing that I was angry, my uncle dropped the chicken bone in his hand, hurriedly followed, and kept asking: "Asher, what's wrong with you? Angry? What did I do wrong again?"

I turned around and poked his chest and asked, "What did you say you did wrong? When I asked you how the case was going, you had to think about it for a long time. Did you have something to hide from me?"

Lawyer Mi, who is eloquent in court, tied his "silver tongue" and stammered for a long time before saying a complete sentence: "It's not...I...that...hey...you..."

My heart was cold: "You really have something to hide from me?!"

Okay you Michelle, you don't trust me now?It seems that our seven-year itch is coming earlier.

Shu Gui pulled his head, pulled his hair, and said slowly: "I can't tell you about this. In a few days, I will definitely tell you, I promise, I swear!"

I stared into his eyes, and after being silent for a long time, I said, "Okay, I'll wait for you."

After waiting for a few days, Lawyer Mi still didn't say anything.

Two weeks later, the boss and the captain invited us to have lunch at their house on the weekend. I went to the pastry shop to buy a cake in advance and prepared to take it as a gift.Uncle Lu was driving, and I was sitting in the co-pilot with a cake box in my hand. Neither of us spoke, and the car was eerily quiet.

Lawyer Mi sneaked glances at me several times on the way, but I noticed them all and stared back.

After arriving at the boss's house, the team leader warmly welcomed us into the house, greeted us briefly, and dragged my uncle to the next room under the boss's resentful eyes.I took out the cake and cut it into pieces, and gave the boss a piece.

He poked the cake fiercely, and complained while eating: "Asher, I actually have something to hide from me. He has been coming back very late every day for the past few months."

"Really? Michelle, too, didn't come back until eight or nine in the evening, why didn't he say anything when I asked him."

"Do you think these two people are planning something secretly? Look at their mysterious appearance just now..."

I was very upset, and my tone was bad: "What's the matter, it's so mysterious, I have to ask him about it later, I've been with Michelle for so many years, this is the first time he dared to hide something from me .I'm furious!"

I huddled with the boss at the door and eavesdropped for a long time, but the sound insulation of the house is so good, I only heard a few scattered words, and I couldn't make a sentence at all.The two of them chatted inside for half an hour, and came out talking and laughing together.The captain picked up his coat and put it on, and the boss immediately went up and asked, "Why are you going?"

Michelle answered appropriately: "Let's go buy some drinks, Asher has a bad stomach, and can't drink"

The boss stared: "There are drinks at home!"

The captain explained: "I only have a bottle of Coke at home, why don't you buy more to be prepared?"

After speaking, he took out the key and threw it to Uncle, "Are you driving?"

Attorney Mi waved the key in his hand to agree.

The boss pressed the question to no avail, so he could only watch the two of them drive away.After waiting anxiously at home for almost an hour, I saw the familiar blue Mazda driving back leisurely.The boss squatting at the door stood up, went into the room and took out a spatula and pan, one in each hand, and said in his mouth: "Damn, he is really itchy. It takes an hour to buy a drink? Don't panic!" can speak."

Lawyer Mi and the captain got out of the car one after the other. The boss and I walked over aggressively, stopped the other one by one, and glared at them with our hands on our hips.Uncle holding a bag of drinks in an attitude of "Don't even think about entering the door if you don't tell the truth today," wondering, "What are you two doing?", with a particularly innocent tone.

The captain got off the driver's seat and saw the boss with a frying pan in his left hand and a spatula in his right hand, with an expression of [I want to rape you], he was also confused: "Why do you both have such expressions? What's wrong?"

The boss pointed at the captain with a spatula, narrowed his eyes, and warned him in a low voice: "Andrew, what the hell have you been up to lately? Tell me the truth."

I also slapped Lawyer Mi: "You too, to be honest, why do you come to the captain's place every day? Are you still sneaking around without telling me?"

The two of them glanced at each other, agreed to speak well, and explained at the same time, speaking fast and overlapping, they couldn't hear clearly at all.

The boss got angry and yelled: "Shut up when it's over!"

Suddenly, there was a small cry from the back seat of the car.

The boss's expression froze, and he immediately asked vigilantly, "What's in the car? Andrew, what's that in the back of your fucking car?!"

Seeing that the matter was exposed, the captain had no choice but to bend down and take the child out of the car, holding him in his arms and coaxing him carefully.The boss stared blankly at the small ball of cloth, reluctant to look away, with a look of anticipation and timidity.He hesitated for a while, and suddenly started yelling at the captain angrily: "Andrew, you son of a bitch... What, what, I told you, I don't want to have any more children! I don't want to have any more children! You Can't understand people's words?"

The captain motioned him to lower the volume, and said in a low voice, "Shh, shhh, keep your voice down, don't scare the child, come over and have a look?"

The spatula in the boss's hand fell to the ground with a crackling sound, and he stepped back in fear, waving his hands and refusing: "What the hell do you mean? I told you that I don't want to have any more children. You take him away. I don't want to see him." Hug him, let alone see him! I don't want him! Take him away!" At the end, there was a little choking in his tone.

I went up and patted him on the shoulder, then gave the "helper" Lawyer Mi a hard look, and poked his chest with one hand and asked, "You'd better explain to me, where did this kid come from? You Didn't the two of you talk about going out to buy drinks? All right, you, how dare you lie to me?! Do you want to break up?"

Uncle panicked when he heard the word breakup, and began to explain incoherently: "No, Asher, listen to me...I don't want to lie to you, it was Andrew who asked me to help him, saying that he would not tell any of you until the matter was settled. .Really... I don't want to hide it from you QAQ, you have to trust me..."

"It's done. I believe you. Tell me first, where did the child come from? You two went to pick up the child just now?"

The captain nodded: "Thanks to Michelle's help, I was finally able to officially take this child home today."

The boss was crying and angry at the captain: "Andrew...I have told you very clearly last time...I don't want to have another child...If one day, this child will also be taken away...I can't help it, I really can't bear it One of those experiences…”

Attorney Mi handed him a document, "Don't worry, we've got it all done this time, and we dared to take the child back without any mistakes. This is an adoption document, which was reviewed and passed two months ago. The appeal period It's over, and now only the child's biological mother has the right to get the child back..."

The boss asked anxiously: "Then what if the biological mother wants to return the child again? She will definitely want to return, just like last time..."

The captain hugged the child and tried to explain: "Her mother was a prisoner in the case I took over. She was dealing drugs. A group of people got into a fight with too many drugs. She accidentally killed eight people, including her boyfriend. She was sentenced to life imprisonment. I found out that I was pregnant before going to the prison for a physical examination. I just gave birth a few days ago”

"What about the mother?"

The team leader frowned slightly, and said a little unbearably: "She had dystocia, bleeding heavily, and was sent to the hospital. A few days ago, when she was in the hospital, she suddenly had a drug addiction attack. Down, brain dead that night. Michelle hired someone to do a background check for us, and this kid has no living relatives."

I was a little surprised: "But this child must not be sent to the orphanage?"

The captain continued: "Her mother took drugs all day long when she was pregnant. This child was born in prison. Sending him to an orphanage will only delay the adoption time in the middle for a few years. The efficiency of the United States is too slow, and this child is still so young. It is estimated that It's not our turn...Adam, you always say that I am too upright and too disciplined, so this time I want to use my power to skip a few steps..."

The boss opened his eyes wide in fright, "I was just joking! Andrew, I didn't want you to really break the law!"

"I know, I know. Don't get excited. It's nothing, I just jumped through a few routines to speed up the adoption process. Michelle helped as legal counsel throughout, and he can guarantee that I haven't done anything illegal. .”

The captain sent the little cloth over gently: "Don't worry, I promise, no one will be able to snatch her away from us this time, do you want to hug the child?"

The boss still didn't reach out, and confirmed again and again: "So, he is ours?"

"It's not 'he', it's 'she'”

"Girls?"

"Yeah, girl, you don't mind being a girl, right? Her mother took drugs when she was pregnant, the child may have some symptoms in the future, and was born in prison... Hey, baby, don't move around", the baby in her arms woke up , Stretched out his small arms and fluttered up, the captain almost lost his grip, the boss who watched was terrified, and hurriedly reached out to pick it up.

"You have rough hands and feet, it will hurt her! Be careful! Come... slowly, put the child in my hands..."

The boss gently held the ball of cloth, lowered his head and coaxed softly: "Hey, hey~ little beauty, little baby, hello, I'm Adam."

"Hayi, Quack", the baby opened his eyes wide, looked at him curiously, stretched out his chubby paws, grabbed a strand of hair hanging down, and happily opened his small mouth, revealing his bare gums "You She will be the happiest and happiest girl in the world, and I guarantee it with my life." With tears in his eyes, the boss gently kissed the child on the forehead.

After that, he hugged the child and refused to let go, even when eating, he ate a piece of bread in two or three bites, and then went back to continue coaxing his new daughter.I teased the baby with him. She is almost six months old and very well-behaved. She hasn't cried once in the past half a day.The boss picked up the little baby and made a gesture to hand it to me: "Asher, do you want to hug her?"

I shook my head vigorously and refused: "I'll forget it, she's too young, if I try hard I'll hurt her"

The boss reached out and handed the child over, "No, I'll teach you, like this, stretch out your arms...".Seeing that the child was delivered, I picked it up quickly and carefully. The wrapped child was very small and soft, as if it would break if touched lightly.She is very light, a small ball, but as heavy as ten thousand catties, pressing down on me so I dare not move, and even forget to breathe.

With the help of the boss, I managed to free up one hand, stretched out my thumb and poked her hand carefully, five fleshy little fingers tightly held the thumb, soft, slender, very small... also my brain The only idea in .

The little baby opened his round eyes, tilted his head to look at me, grinned, and smiled.

Eye circles gradually turned red, "She's so cute."

For a moment, I seemed to understand why children are always said to be the most precious gift, because they are too small, too beautiful, too pure, too fragile, like a piece of pure white paper, a new beginning, people can't help thinking Be well protected.Children have many of the best things that adults once had and lost.

I asked the boss: "Have you decided on a name yet?"

The boss kissed his daughter on the forehead and said lovingly: It is said that my daughter was my father's lover in her previous life. Since my name is Adam, then she is Eva. (Adam and Eva are a pair in the Garden of Eden, the first pair of human beings created by God in legend)

I looked down at the baby: it's a great name, isn't it, little Eva?

"Hello, my name is Asher, nice to meet you, little Eva. If someone bullies you in the future, I will help you teach them a lesson."

"You have a wonderful pair of fathers who will love you very much."

On the way home, I asked my uncle: "So you've been sneaking around with the captain for the past few months and you've got to adopt a child? Just tell me sooner."

Attorney Mi shook his head: "The captain didn't let me say it. He didn't want to spread the news before it was 100% confirmed. After all, there is a precedent from last time. Just one injury is enough."

"This time you helped them get a baby"

"It's a pity that it's not the same child as before"

"No matter which one, I believe the boss and the captain will love that child very much, and she will be a happy girl"

Lawyer Mi bent his eyes, looked at me and said, "I believe that Asher, you will be a good father in the future. You are very good at cooking and taking care of others, and the children like you very much."

"I don't think so. I have a bad temper and I don't have much patience. It's easy to be aggressive and scare the children."

Lawyer Mi denied my idea: "It doesn't matter, you used to beat Peanut all the time, but Peanut still likes you very much. Every time you go home, he will come over to play with you."

This is the first time that Uncle Peanut has taken the initiative to talk about it since he left. I was always afraid that he would be sad when I mentioned it, and I never dared to step on this minefield lightly.

I asked him, "Are you still thinking about peanuts?"

Uncle touched my hand thoughtfully, and shook his head lightly: "I used to do it, but now I don't really think about it anymore. Peanut is a squirrel. Even if it is going to die, it should die in nature."
