The meal was only [-]% full when Rossi's cell phone rang.He glanced at Shirley apologetically, put down the tableware and looked at the other three, and said regretfully, "Okay...it seems that we have to save the arrangement of watching DVDs together until next time."

The three of them looked at each other as usual, and when Rosie took a few steps outside to answer the phone, they looked at Shirley at the same time, and heard Rosie mention Washington clearly before speaking.So Morgan raised his hand to signal the dining table, and suggested, "Why don't we help you pack your things and go back with us after you return the yacht?"

"It's okay..." Shirley looked around at them and smiled, "You guys have to rush back to work, so I won't make trouble."

The three looked at each other apologetically, and before Rossi walked back to the dining table to speak, Shirley looked around them and raised her eyebrows in a funny way, "Okay, as long as you are all full and have the strength to work Well, I'm already satisfied."

Hearing what she said, the four couldn't help but smile, and Rhett immediately praised her cooking skills.Shirley nodded and accepted, expressing that she was very pleased. Seeing them scrambling to clear the dining table, she walked out of the yacht unceremoniously, "Then leave this to you, and I'll go and drive the yacht."

The people staying at the dining table agreed aloud, and Morgan, with his hands in his trouser pockets, followed Shirley to the cockpit quite consciously without waiting for the three of them to drive him away, "Are you planning to spend the night alone at sea? Something happened just now, so it doesn't seem safe."

Shirley turned her head and looked at Morgan standing on the left, and said with a smile, "Maybe I just call and get my ex-boyfriend to come over to accompany me, maybe we can rekindle our old relationship."

Morgan pulled his lips, turned to face the front, and negated softly with a smile, "You won't."

Shirley couldn't help laughing, and didn't speak again.And Morgan just stood quietly by the side, always looking at the sea with a curved lip, and frowned at her until he was almost near the pier, "You should just be joking, right? You won't really do it, will you?"

After stopping the yacht on the shore, Shirley turned around to face him with a smile without saying a word, raised her hand to wrap his shoulders, and leaned forward to leave a farewell kiss on his left cheek, "You So much to wonder about, Derek."

A faint fragrance of lavender gathers and soon dissipates, and Morgan has no extra nostalgia for it.She pursed her lips as if depressed, and could only smile, "Okay, I was wrong."

Shirley raised her eyebrows and nodded in understanding, and watched them leave after landing.Returned the yacht, drove Lucas back to Los Angeles and stayed with Beth for nearly two weeks.It wasn't until I received an invitation from jj, who was busy with work, that I returned to Washington.

At this moment, the two had just finished shopping and were sitting in a coffee shop recommended by Shirley to rest. JJ flipped through the menu a few times, asked for a cappuccino and handed the menu to her.And Shirley ordered a cup of black coffee, continued to flip through the menu to the page of desserts, pointed to a corner of it and recommended it to her with a smile, "The matcha cheesecake in this store is pretty good, do you want to try it?"

Looking at the anticipation in her eyes, jj felt that she must really like the matcha cheesecake in this shop, so she wanted to share it with him.But he could only shake his head with a regretful smile, and raised his hand to stroke his hair apologetically, "I would also like to taste the kind of cake you like, but it's a pity that I don't eat this kind of cake."

Shirley sat up straight, so she had to order one for herself.Hand the menu card to the waiter and watch him leave.Withdrawing his gaze, raised his hands and propped his chin to look at JJ, "Why? You don't like it?"

JJ didn't know how to explain it for a while, so he raised his eyebrows and smiled, raised his hands and shrugged, "Well... I ate too much when I was young."

After listening to jj's answer, Shirley felt a sudden burst of breath in her chest, and was immediately suffocated speechless.Squeezing her throat and calming her breath, she put down her hand on the table, shifted her gaze, and quickly looked back at JJ with a smile, "Then the things you like to eat now are probably things you didn't eat often when you were young, right? "

Before JJ could speak, the phone rang.Shirley smiled and heard her say "Sorry", and looked up blankly at the TV hanging on the wall next to the cashier.

Waiting for the waiter to bring coffee and cake, jj finished talking on the phone.Before Shirley could speak, she pursed her lips helplessly and raised her eyebrows, "Sorry, Will has work to do, I have to go home and take care of Henry..."

Shirley froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded to express her understanding, "It's okay, you go, I'll sit down for a while."

JJ nodded with a smile, took a symbolic sip of the steaming coffee, took the initiative to pick up the bill and walked to the cashier, "Okay then, I'll go check out, you can stay for a while."

Before Shirley could make a sound, JJ turned around and walked towards the cashier. After paying the bill, he smiled and waved to Shirley who looked at him, and went straight to the outside of the coffee shop, and got into the car without looking back.

Shirley tilted her head and saw that she was sitting in the car and made a phone call before driving away. She retracted her eyes and frowned. She picked up a fork and poked the exquisite cake in front of her, muttering repeatedly, "What do you mean by eating too much? Eat too much." It's gone... I didn't drive, and I didn't ask how I plan to go back..."

She stopped grunting, Shirley continued poking at the cake, looked up at the TV on the wall, and vaguely heard the clear and clear voice of the elated female anchor, "...the congressman Tripp Fan who has been plagued by scandals recently De Bilt still didn't know how to restrain himself, and took two friends and a large group of girls to indulge in a luxury yacht trip on the beach of Santa Monica. However, our reporter Jameson Peet actually followed Mr. Congressman There was an unexpected harvest..."

"God!" Shirley exclaimed softly. When she saw herself standing on the deck talking to her ex-boyfriend Nate in the rebroadcasted TV screen, she instantly felt a suffocation in her heart find a huge vent. And the cheerful voice of the female anchor continued, "Haha~! Do you think the silhouette of this blonde beauty looks familiar~ Although the photographer couldn't capture her front face because of the fixed camera position, but from her back The tattoo is associated with the astonishing amount of lavender used in the celebration banquet of a certain champion driver a few months ago, it should not be difficult for everyone to speculate that she is probably another driver Shirley..."

Morgan, who received JJ's call, just walked into the coffee shop, turned his head to the left, and saw Shirley who was poking the cake with one hand and holding it beside her face frantically.He shook his head amusedly, followed her line of sight and glanced at the female anchor on the TV who was beaming and gesticulating with the video on the screen beside her, walked up to her side and stopped, while the voice of the female anchor was still ringing in his ears, " ...One of them took Shirley onto the yacht, but aha~ the atmosphere seemed a little weird. Why was she taken to the other side to whisper to Tripp after she just saw Tripp kissing Nate? This son of Chibold’s family has been visited by countless people, you must have heard of it before, but now you see such a scene..."

"It's not over!" After listening to the female anchor's unbearable teasing, Shirley growled, and the picture in front of her was blocked by Morgan in the next second.She glanced at him sullenly, and after seeing his iconic smiling face, she couldn't help curling her lips into a smile, then propped her head up and stared at him weakly, "Why are you here?"

Morgan sat down with a smile, "What? I'm not welcome?"

Xue Li pursed her lips, stuffed a small piece of the messy cake in front of her into her mouth, made a perfunctory smile, nodded weakly and said, "Welcome."

Morgan stood up, pulled a chair to sit beside her, leaned close to her and whispered, "You don't care about the nonsense on gossip shows, do you?"

Obviously Shirley was not, but after finding no other reason, she waved her hand and said casually: "They are so annoying, they are so annoying that they are trying to grab people all day long! It's really annoying!"

Morgan hadn't seen her look so annoyed yet, so he hugged her shoulder funnyly, patted her on the back and comforted her solemnly: "Okay, okay, don't get angry."

"You are so annoying!" Hearing his words as if persuading an old lady, Shirley couldn't help laughing, and raised her hand to pinch his lips.Squeezing and pinching, he thought of something again, put down his hands and ate the cake in front of him, and said casually with a slight sigh, "I was thinking about killing them all."

Seeing that she was still looking listless, Morgan put down his hands and picked up four or five shopping bags on the ground, took her by the shoulders and led her up, and warned with a serious smile, "If you dare to kill, be careful, I will arrest you and go to jail. "

Shirley glanced at him unconvinced, raised her eyebrows and said, "I'll just say it casually."

"You can't say it!" Morgan turned his head to look at her, and flicked her forehead as punishment without warning.It caused Shirley to slip out of his arms, twisted his arm lightly, and rubbed his head with aggrieved expression, "It hurts!"

Morgan lowered his left arm pretendingly, bit back and said, "I'm the one who hurts, okay? Where did you get so much strength?"

"Just pretend! I didn't use any strength at all!" Shirley snorted at him disdainfully, grabbed his arm, and then asked, "Where are you taking me?"

After feeling that she was holding her arm, Morgan turned his head to look at her with a questioning face, paused for a moment to look away, and soon turned back to look at her with a smile again, "Wouldn't you know when you go?"

Shirley curled her lips and paused, suddenly realizing that the current state seemed too intimate.Only then did he let go of the hand that was holding him, raised his hand to touch the tip of his nose, and returned to his normal state with his hands down and followed him out of the coffee shop.

And just as they walked onto the street, the TV in the coffee shop was switched to another news from a week ago, "...two entertainment journalists have been killed in succession in two months, and the third rising star in the media circle, Zhan A few days before he was killed, Munson Peet even said bluntly that if one day he died unexpectedly, the murderer must be the racing driver Shirley Davis. As for whether Shirley is related to this series of cases, I think We should wait patiently for the final investigation results of the Metropolitan Police Department..."
