The extraordinary life of a certain American comic

The video Locke was talking about was the video of Omar disguised as Stephanie meeting him at the Naval Observatory.

Stephanie looked at the half-smile on Locke's face, and remembered the scene in the video where she cried and said "she" regretted it.

She had no expression on her face.

"That wasn't me."

"No, that was you."

"It wasn't me."

"You should know that it wasn't me, and it was you who broke up with me."

"Obviously, you didn't say that in the video."

"..."

Stephanie stopped explaining.

Since words don't work, let's use fists and feet to explain.

Stephanie was so angry that she lowered her head and charged at Locke, who was still smiling, with her high heels on.

Locke raised his eyebrows and pressed Stephanie's head with his right hand.

Stephanie said nothing and continued to exert her strength.

Today, either you die or I die.

She was about to cry. It was Locke who broke up with her, but she didn't wait for Locke's apology. Instead, she saw "herself" crying and apologizing to Locke.

Locke looked at Stephanie speechlessly. No matter what he said, she didn't say a word and wanted to kill him. He thought about it for a moment, then loosened his right hand and let Stephanie rush into his arms.

The next second.

At the moment Stephanie rushed into his arms, his hands were very silky around Stephanie's waist, and then he picked up Stephanie with a scream, turned a circle in the air to relieve the impact, and then hugged Stephanie tightly in his arms again.

After Stephanie reacted, she subconsciously wanted to resist.

At this moment.

"I'm sorry." Locke's voice rang in Stephanie's ears.

Stephanie, who had tried to resist, froze all over, and then her long eyelashes fluttered a few times. She no longer resisted Locke's embrace, and her stiff body softened at this moment. Then, her hands, which had been hesitating whether to hug Locke, slowly placed on Locke's back.

Stephanie looked up, with uncertainty and a hint of expectation, and looked up at Locke who was looking down.

Her voice was even trembling a little.

"What... did you say?"

"I regret it."

"... Really?"

"Of course."

Locke faced the expectation flashing in Stephanie's eyes, and said in a soft but firm voice: "You know me, I will never lie to you."

Stephanie felt that her breathing stopped at this moment.

Because only she and Locke knew the deep meaning of Locke's words "I regret it".

That is... Locke had figured it out and accepted the setting that she tried to make her husband become a snake.

At this moment.

Locke suddenly sighed.

Stephanie came back to her senses from the brief excitement, and looked at Locke who was sighing, and was slightly stunned.

"You won't do it again..."

"It's a pity that I'm married."

"..."

Stephanie was silent for a while, then expressionlessly and without warning, she grabbed the claw that was on her mountain, and bit it without any hesitation.

"Hiss!"

Locke took a breath instantly.

However, Stephanie didn't bite for a long time, just bit it fiercely, and then glared at Locke: "Don't force me to say dirty words when I'm happy."

Locke looked at the anger on Stephanie's face and followed suit.

"Sorry."

"Hold me tight now, and shut up."

"Okay."

Locke smiled and hugged Stephanie tightly in his arms.

Stephanie pressed against Locke's chest, feeling Locke's breathing when he lowered his eyes to look at her, and listening to the slow but quite powerful heartbeat in Locke's chest.

"Locke."

"..."

After a while, Stephanie called Locke, but didn't hear any response. She looked up at Locke.

Locke was also looking at her.

Just when Stephanie frowned, Locke made a zipper gesture at the corner of his mouth.

Stephanie understood and rolled her eyes.

"You should kiss me now."

"Oh!"

Locke made an expression of sudden realization, which made Stephanie roll her eyes again.

But just when the two were about to eat each other, a cough came from behind them.

Locke hugged Stephanie and turned around to look behind.

Locke looked at the two people hugging each other outside.

Gideon Malik, who had taken a shower and changed his clothes, was looking at the two people hugging each other outside with a dark face.

Stephanie subconsciously left Locke's arms.

But...

She pulled away, but didn't pull away.

Just kidding, it's a bad thing to be able to leave.

He either doesn't do it, or he will never regret it if he does.

Of course.

The incident with Otto was an accident, and in the end, Otto didn't destroy his Taoism.

So...

Since he chose to hug her again, he would never let her go again.

She's just a senior partner of Hydra.

It's no big deal.

One sentence.

I, Locke, will protect the Malik family!

If anyone disagrees, come on.

Locke ignored Stephanie who tried to leave him, continued to hug her, then smiled at Gideon Malik, who had a dark face, and said, "Don't thank me."

As soon as these words came out, Stephanie in her arms was shocked.

Gideon Malik's face turned a little darker. Looking at Locke who said no thank you, he was silent for a while.

"Thank you for what?"

"Thank me for rescuing you."

Locke said with a smile, and then waved his hand generously before Gideon Malik could speak: "After all, my relationship with Tiffany is here, so you don't need to thank me, this is what I should do. , of course, if you want to give me a thank you fee, I don’t mind.”

Houses in Manhattan are expensive.

This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

Before Esme was pregnant, he had thought that it would be okay to buy a house in Brooklyn next door.

But now that Esme is pregnant, Brooklyn's choice is definitely passed.

After all, Manhattan is New York's first borough in terms of resources.

Put it this way.

Children born in Manhattan start about ten steps higher than children born in other boroughs.

If calculated as one hundred steps.

So I still have to save up to buy a house in Manhattan.

He is short of money.

There is an opportunity right now to take advantage of a big player, so you can't miss it.

Although it sounds a little weird to use Gideon's money to buy his and Esme's home in Manhattan.

But for the sake of the children, I can’t control that much.

Parents love their children, so they have far-reaching plans!

look.

I still have the potential to be a loving father.

Locke thought to himself, looking at Gideon with a smile, already thinking about how much Gideon would give him as a thank you.

The answer is none.

Gideon didn't follow the routine at all. He listened to Locke's words and nodded.

"Okay, then I won't argue with you."

"..."

The smile on Locke's face was frozen for a second, but he quickly recovered.

never mind.

If you don't give it, I won't give it. Anyway, after this old guy dies, the Malik family's inheritance will also belong to my child.

Both the left and right hands are hands, don’t care.

Wait a moment.

Locke suddenly thought of something and looked at Gideon: "How much money did they kidnap you?"

When Gideon heard Locke mention this topic, his face darkened again: "They thought they got a lot."

"But?" Locke heard the overtone of the words.

Gideon sneered: "These idiots, the account used to collect the money is in the bank under my name."

Locke was shocked.

Gideon said to Stephanie: "Tiffany, call the president of Swiss Overseas Chase Bank and ask him to come see me within an hour."

This time Locke didn't hold Stephanie forcefully.

Stephanie left Locke's arms smoothly, responded, turned and walked towards the study on the third floor of the main building.

Gideon extended an invitation to Locke.

"Let's talk?"

"OK."

Locke came back from the shock of "the Skrulls blackmailed Gideon, and it turned out that the account used to collect the money was controlled by Gideon's name", smiled slightly, and accepted Gideon's invitation.

A glass of wine that would never be available on the market.

A cigar that also only appears in private orders.

This is a must-have prop for high-end and high-quality men to chat and talk.

Locke looked at the lit cigar in his hand and the glass of bourbon in his hand, which tasted silkier than Thunder Bourbon, and praised it.

"Good wine, good smoke."

"If you like it, I'll give you two boxes."

"Thanks."

Locke did not refuse, but looked directly at Gideon and said thank you.

He figured out the old man's mental state, so he would just play hard to get and just play straight ball.

Gideon also glanced at Locke, who had changed his strategy, but only once, then withdrew his gaze and asked about the business.

"The group of people who kidnapped me are the so-called Skrulls?"

"Didn't you see everything?"

Locke said, then looked at Gideon curiously: "Logically speaking, it shouldn't be that easy to kidnap you."

Don't look at the way Gideon talks to him now even though he has a dark face, but he talks very easy-going.

This is all because of his relationship with Stephanie.

On other occasions, with other people, and to put it bluntly, even if the president was here, Gideon would not be so easy-going.

Of course.

In fact, Gideon is not the only person who can speak uncongenially to the president. Gideon is just one of these people.

But that's not the point.

The point is, Locke is curious about how this group of invading Skrulls managed to kidnap Gideon so quietly in such a short period of time.

When Gideon heard this, his face turned ugly again.

Locke watched Gideon's expression change and raised his eyebrows, but said nothing and just looked at Gideon quietly.

Gideon thought for a while, maybe thinking that Locke was no longer a bad guy, so he looked up at Locke, was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke.

"That night, my secretary stayed at the village..."

"Got it!"

"..."
