The world begins with shameless people

The lunch opening hours of Xiuer Chinese Restaurant had not yet come, so Veronica was not busy for the time being, so she immediately answered the phone.

After hearing what Kevin said, Veronica, who really didn't expect and didn't expect to adopt a child so soon, was stunned and speechless.

He was stunned for a few seconds.

Only then did Veronica come back to her senses, managed a smile, and with a voice, she cooperated with Kevin and said, "This is really great."

"Right!" Kevin was still excited and didn't hear anything strange at all.

Of course, as a poor boy with inbreeding and natural brain defects, it would be difficult for Kevin to distinguish these things.

"How about we go back at twelve o'clock and clean up the house?" Kevin asked happily.

Veronica hesitated, "I have to talk to Ding Xiu and see if it works. I'll call you later."

"Okay," Kevin said without thinking about anything else.

call ended.

Veronica sighed in distress and walked to the kitchen.

The lunch business hadn't started yet, and Ding Xiu was preparing food in the kitchen, so he wasn't too busy.

Veronica explained the situation, but couldn't hide the distress on her expression.

Ding Xiu wanted to laugh...

Could it be Ethel?

probably.

If so, give it a try and stay.

Otherwise, like in the original drama, following a guy like Malik who doesn't even know a few words and almost his whole family is in prison, no good results will come of it.

"You seem unhappy," Ding Xiu asked with a smile without rushing to agree to Veronica's request for leave.

Veronica hesitated and shook her head, "No."

"Haha, that's not what you meant by that expression. Don't worry, I won't tell Kevin," Ding Xiu said with a smile.

Veronica hesitated again, "Really?"

"of course."

Veronica was silent for a moment, "I didn't expect the adoption application to be approved so quickly. I thought it would take at least a few months to prepare."

"Now it's so sudden, I don't know what to do."

"I have to work, and Xiaokai also works every day. If I adopt a child, who will take care of it?"

This is true.

The two of them don't have time during the day, so adopting a child is really troublesome.

"What was your original plan?" Ding Xiu asked.

Veronica shook her head and smiled bitterly, "I have no plan, I just want to say that maybe Xiaokai will ask an employee to help in Alaibo and squeeze in some time. There is no complete plan yet."

Uh.

There's nothing wrong with it, this kind of operation is in line with the couple's style.

Ding Xiu kept moving his hands and thought for a moment, "I want to tell you something, can you promise not to tell Kevin?"

Veronica was a little surprised, not expecting what Ding Xiu was going to say, so she nodded, "I promise."

"Kevin was abandoned by his parents since he was a child and grew up in foster homes," Ding Xiu said calmly. "As far as I know, people like this have some psychological problems, and Kevin should be the same... It turns out that I I couldn’t feel it yet, but now I feel it.”

"Kevin's love for children is far beyond ordinary people. This is a psychological problem caused by a tragic childhood, which basically cannot be changed."

"Therefore, I think this adopted child may be a test for your relationship..."

"Veronica, you have to figure out what to do."

Veronica heard it clearly and was really frightened. She couldn't believe it, "So serious??"

'The seriousness is yet to come,' Ding Xiu said to herself, smiling, 'I hope I'm wrong.'

After all, nothing had happened yet, and Veronica wasn't sure, "What should I do?"

"You are husband and wife, how do you say your wedding vows?" Ding Xiu smiled and threw the question back.

Veronica: “…..”

"You can leave early at noon. I wish you all the best." Seeing that Veronica didn't speak, Ding Xiu said again, "If you can't come tonight, call me in advance."

"Okay..." Veronica responded blankly, turned and left the kitchen. For a moment, the thoughts in her head were very confusing.

**********************

Pitts Plastic Surgery Center.

Peggy was sitting alone in Noah Pitts' office, looking at Noah Pitts with a frightened expression, and making vicious threats.

Noah Pitts listened silently, and after listening, he couldn't help it, and mustered up the courage to refute Peggy.

Peggy is a dying person.

Dying people are terrible.

Peggy smiled coldly and stood up, "Tomorrow morning, two hundred thousand dollars, otherwise you will be responsible for the consequences if anything happens!"

Noah Pitts' teeth were itching with hatred, but he didn't dare to say anything. He could only grit his teeth and watch Peggy slowly leave.

Peggy returned to the car.

Frank, who had been waiting in the car and smoking a cigarette, had already figured out what Peggy was doing because he saw the name of the plastic surgery center. He looked at Peggy decisively, forced a smile and asked, "Mom, how much does he owe you?" money?"

Peggy glanced at Frank with disdain, knowing that Frank wanted to make money, so she didn't answer and just said coldly, "Drive."

It is related to money, and it is very likely that a lot of money is involved...

Frank gave up and wanted to get a share of the money, "Mom, as usual, I am your partner, so I should get a share of the money."

Hearing this, Peggy couldn't help but smiled immediately, "My partner? Are you worthy?"

"..." Frank is very resilient when it comes to money. What's such an insult? "Mom, maybe I'm not worthy..."

Frank once again showed off his glib skills and kept talking.

Peggy didn't buy it at all and just ignored it. She felt that Frank was just like a fly in a cesspit. He was really noisy.

*****************

At one o'clock sharp in the afternoon.

The social worker took Ethel to 2113 North Wallace Street on time and knocked on the door.

dong dong dong~~~

Hearing the knock on the door, Kevin, who had been waiting on the sofa anxiously and on pins and needles, jumped up instantly. Then, as happy and excited as a child, he hurriedly greeted Veronica in a low voice, "Wei, the social worker is here. Come on, let’s go greet him together.”

Looking at Kevin's performance, he couldn't help but what Ding Xiu said that morning echoed in Veronica's mind. Then, she believed it more logically and could not help but feel a little more worried.

Worried, Veronica had no choice but to smile and follow Kevin to the door.

Not long after.

Kevin, who had a silly smile on his face, and Veronica, who had a complicated expression, met the social worker, and the thirteen-year-old Ethel, who had an innocent face and was very good-looking.

Seeing Ethel, Kevin was stunned.

Veronica breathed a sigh of relief instinctively.

There is no other reason.

Ethel is not a few years old and can take care of herself. It is much easier to take care of her.

Kevin was only stunned for a moment, and then smiled very cutely again, "Welcome, welcome, please come in."

About twenty minutes later.

After briefly explaining that Ethel was rescued from a cult by the government and in urgent need of a good family, and after confirming the adoption with Kevin and Veronica, the social worker left Ethel behind and got up. People left.

Ethel, who was left behind, sat on the sofa very restrainedly, looking at Kevin on the left and Veronica on the right. She didn't know what to do. There was a clear uneasiness on her beautiful face.

Kevin watched, feeling very distressed. He quickly got into the act, playing the role of a father, and comforted him gently, "Ethel, from now on, this is your home..."

Veronica sat next to her and looked at Kevin in silence, with extremely complicated emotions.
