In addition to the four Evans Siblings and Charlie’s three aunts and uncles, the two sons of Marcus, Martel’s eldest daughter and
Tece’s twelve-year-old only daughter also came together tonight. These offspring, all of whom are Charlie’s cousins, are also
considered fans of Stefanie, so they came along from Los Angeles.
Desmond’s two daughters also like Stefanie, the eldest daughter is at Stanford studying for a doctorate.
The second daughter is studying in the United Kingdom.
As the old man was seriously ill, they took time off to come back to accompany him.
They delayed a lot of school time, so early this morning they rushed back to school. However, Desmond’s two daughters in the
Evans Family’s own internal family chat, but also specially instructed several other siblings, to try to take more concert videos for
the two of them. Although Charlie could not perceive their identities, after listening to their small talk for a few minutes, he was
able to almost identify each of them.
Among them, the eldest son of the second uncle Marcus’s family, whom he had met when he was small, but at that time this
cousin was still an infant. As for the eldest daughter of Martel’s family and the only daughter of his maternal aunt Tece, Charlie
hadn’t met them all yet.
At this time, Desmond saw that Jack was a bit bored drinking alone, so he walked to the bar and sat down beside him, asking,
“What, your mood hasn’t eased up a bit?”
Jack laughed bitterly and said, “What relief, we’ve known each other for so many years.
You know me and I’m really stuffed up in my heart because I haven’t had a chance to get back for such a big dumb loss!”
Desmond poured himself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with him and said, “Jack, look ahead, your days as a police officer are
long gone, but they are over.”
Jack nodded gently and sighed “You’re right, have to look forward...”
Desmond asked him, “You said earlier that you wanted to go to Houston to be with your wife and children, have you told them?”
“Not yet.” Jack laughed bitterly “This is still not a total upset... I always feel that this case may still have a chance to come to
light...”
Desmond said seriously “Jack, listen to my advice, go back at night and pack your bags, set the earliest plane to Houston early
tomorrow morning.”
Desmond added “Forget it, I will arrange a plane to send you!”
Jack’s expression was somewhat hesitant and he said “This is too fast...”
Desmond seriously said, “Yeah, good for you!”
Jack couldn’t decide for a while.
He did want to leave, but he was also really reluctant.
Just at this time, his phone suddenly received a message, he opened it.
His expression quickly became excited and quickly said to Desmond, “You just said you will arrange a plane to send me to
Houston?”
Desmond nodded and said, “That’s right, just one word from you!”
Without thinking, Jack said, “Tonight then! I’ll go to the airport after the show!”
Desmond was surprised and asked, “You’ve been reluctant for a long time, why are you suddenly in such a hurry again?”
Jack grinned and said, “My daughter just sent me a message saying that she is pregnant!”
When Desmond heard the news, he also instantly became happy and said with a smile, “No wonder your mouth is grinning to
the roots of your ears! So you’re going to be a grandfather!”
“Yes!” Jack said excitedly, “The old generation said that the next generation is really the same thing!”
“Once my daughter said she is pregnant, I really don’t want to stay in New York for a single minute.
I want to fly over tonight and give them a surprise!”
Desmond laughed, “Oh, you know how to surprise your wife and kids? There is progress!”
After saying that, Desmond said, “Come on, you don’t have to rub it in here.
I’ll have the crew get ready, you go to the airport now!”
Desmond waved his hand and said, “It doesn’t matter! If you tell them, they will surely understand.”
“Don’t.” Jack whispered, “I haven’t seen the old man for such a long time so it’s hard not to spend time with him, I don’t care
about two more hours.
You say hello to the crew and I’ll go there after the show.”
Desmond nodded and said, “Okay then, I’ll talk to the crew now and let them get ready in advance.”
“Got it!” Jack smiled heatedly and said, “Thanks, brother!”
Desmond laughed, “We are brothers, why are you so polite with me?”
After that, he immediately took out his cell phone and arranged the plane for Jack, then he held a glass of wine and walked up to
everyone and said with a smile, “Mom and Dad, let me interject... Jack is going to be a grandfather soon, let’s celebrate this with
tea instead of wine!”
Hearing this, the old man said with a joyful smile, “Yes, yes! A new baby is a great thing, you’re blessed, Jack!”
After saying that, he picked up the teacup in front of him and said with a smile, “Come on, I’ll drink to you, congratulations on
your upcoming promotion!”
All the people also picked up the tea and drinks and said words of congratulations under their breath.
The Evans Family has been in the United States for a long time so from the top to the bottom, the thinking is more or less
westernized.
The more obvious characteristic is that emotional management is more open.
Encounter happy things from the heart, there are no formalities if one is very happy.
