Chapter 1050
Elaine cocked her head and thought, "I don't hate dad, I know he's trying to protect me, but as long as people live in this world, they'll always see each other again. I promised Dad that I would go to Switzerland to finish the rest of my studies and not come back for two or three years and not see him, and I can do that, but why can't I ever go back to Riverside City?
Franklin looked at her and smiled, "Elaine, Daddy was just giving an example."
Elaine happily bailed on his arm: "I know Daddy is afraid that I'll only care about Darnell and not you, but you're both the most important people in the world to me!"
Franklin patted her on the arm and suddenly felt that Elaine was not wrong, no matter what, Riverside City was their home.
He once thought it was best for Elaine to leave Riverside City and get away from all this feuding.
But forgetting that this is the home she grew up in.
Wherever she goes, she will always be homesick and will one day return to the James family.
Even if he could eventually take her away with him, he could never stay with her for the rest of her life.
Elaine let go of him and said, "Dad, the candles are running out, so blow them out quickly and remember to make a wish."
Franklin nodded, then blew gently, and the candle went out.
Elaine said, "Dad, what did you wish for?"
Franklin said, "Wishes are not spiritual if you say them, go go go, it is so late, you hurry to bed, or tomorrow you will sleep again until noon."
Elaine spat out she head: "Then you should also go to bed early oh, do not work too late."
"Got it, go ahead."
After Elaine left, Franklin sat down and opened the gift box. After looking at the birthday gift inside, two small dolls that were made according to their father and daughter, he couldn't hold back his laughter.
Elaine, this child.
He hopes she will always be so simple and happy, but if he gets bent out of shape, it's bound to be the exact opposite.
After a few moments, Franklin put the lid on the gift box, his face gloomy for a few moments, took out his cell phone and dialed a phone number.
Since yesterday, there has been a spate of terrorist attacks all over Riverside City and an extremely arrogant attitude in calling the government before each strike.
Although they had taken immediate countermeasures, the other side was purposeful, picking places with fewer people to do so, obviously not wanting to make a big deal out of it.
In order not to cause panic, they could only suppress the matter and increase their efforts to investigate.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
And no one knows better than Franklin that the reason this is happening is that those people are preventing him from leaving Riverside City.
As for their ultimate goal, it is his birthday banquet tomorrow.
Make sure you get Elaine out of there before something happens.
......
Elaine set several alarm clocks before going to bed to avoid not being able to get up the next morning.
She thought she had worked hard enough to get up, but when she came down the next morning yawning, two uncles from the James family had arrived and were playing chess with her father.
Elaine froze for a moment and then greeted them one by one.
The two uncles of the James family looked at her with a smile, "Elaine, just now we your father was telling us that you probably won't even make it to breakfast, so it seems your father still doesn't know you well enough."
Franklin said to her as she played this game, "Get up and go eat breakfast while it's still hot and save yourself from having to go back to preparing it."
Elaine nodded in response, gave a slight gesture to the two uncles of the James family, and turned to go into the kitchen.
In the kitchen, several servants were preparing the food for the evening birthday banquet, and it was evident that they were indeed quite busy.
Elaine didn't bother them, took a sandwich in her mouth and helped set up outside.
Throughout the day, in addition to those of the James family, there were also people from the business and official circles, who arrived one after another.
There are a lot of familiar faces and a lot of raw faces.
Even when she stands far away, they like to somehow cue her, and then her dad calls her over and says hello to them.
An uncle I didn't know said, "How old is Elaine, does she have a boyfriend, and what type does she like?"
"I have ......"
"Ahem!"
Franklin interrupted the rest of her sentence with a violent cough, then smiled in response, "Elaine is still in school, so it's too early to tell."
The uncle lamented, "Elaine is so beautiful, sweet and understanding, how wonderful it would be if you could be my daughter-in-law."
At this time, there were other guests to greet, so the topic was invariably digressed.
Elaine also took the opportunity to slip away and found Natasha who was doing nothing next to her and tapped her on the shoulder: "What are you doing sitting here, why don't you come to me?"
Natasha said, "I just watched you and your dad talking to someone."
As she spoke, she looked around again, "Your cousin doesn't seem to be here yet."
Elaine: "......"
She said, "You really can be a big fan of sex."
Natasha looked serious: "No, I'm not looking for you, I still remember the last time we had dinner, you said as long as your cousin was there, your father would be fine, right?"
Speaking of which, the smile on Elaine's face closed a few points, looking around, see the atmosphere is quite cordial, everyone's face is full of smiles, between the conversation, but also very polite and courteous.
There should ...... not be anything that she is afraid of.
Immediately afterwards, Natasha whispered, "Is your uncle, who you don't know well, coming?"
Elaine: "......"
"He's coming, but he ......"
"I know, he's not your blood uncle, I'm just used to it."
The way Elaine is trying to get rid of him, it seems that their families, not only do not know each other well, but also do not get along.
Not long after, the sky gradually darkened.
Outside in the garden, the lights hanging by the pool, also lit up one by one.
It's beautiful.
A few minutes later, Archer also arrived.
He did not like those false and polite, so he simply found a corner and sat down, where he also ran into Natasha and Elaine, who were also hiding.
Archer looked at Elaine, "What are you doing here?"
Elaine said, "I ......"
At this point, another aunt she didn't know very well came to greet her, and Elaine reluctantly smiled in response.
She really can't hide anywhere.
Just when the birthday banquet was at its most lively, Darnell arrived, and the guests, who had been talking happily to each other, had a brief stagnation of smiles on their faces, and the conversation was much quieter.
Soon, people kept wanting to come forward to talk, jumping up and down, and being cautious.
There is a clear division between the James family who are standing in place with a less than stellar face.
Franklin turned his head and whispered to the men around him, "Find a chance to take the lady away while you can."
