Chapter 28 FamilyOverEverything
Originally, Melonie planned to ask Tommy Hawke to accompany her to the bank in the morning. Anyway, Tommy Hawke doesn’t need to go to school every day, and walks with him to the bank.
Tommy Hawke did not refuse the invitation. Although he thought it would be a better choice to read in the bedroom, Melonie was still a little worried about her future. Only by being convicted by the judge at the trial can he be hired by Sinclair Elementary School to replace Hugh Spade.
Although in Tommy's view, this kind of anxiety is completely unnecessary, because he has already taught Melonie, and wrote a thank you letter to the principal of Sinclair Primary School. In the letter, he described Melonie's own situation, experience, and thanks Sinclair Elementary School cooperated with the police to remove her nightmare Hugh Spade, and finally stated that she was considering writing a letter of commendation to the Clare Elementary School Parents Council, praising Sinclair Elementary School for its great help in this matter.
As long as the principal is not an idiot, he should understand that Melonie, the person involved, should not let this matter get into the ears of the parent committee of her school. The needs in the letter are obvious, and it is enough to meet that demand, otherwise the parent committee will know the school where her child is studying. The teacher actually sells pills, the principal is waiting to be complained.
The easiest way for the headmaster is to give Melonie the job that belonged to Hugh Spade, transfer her to his own staff, and let her give up the idea of thanking him in public in front of the parent committee.
Just as Melonie was preparing breakfast, there was a knock on the door outside. Tommy Hawk, with a toothbrush in his mouth, walked out of the bathroom and opened the door of the apartment. His brother Tony stood outside the door and smiled at himself: "Good morning."
"Don't you have to start work today?" Tommy Hawke moved away from his body and asked while removing the toothbrush from his mouth.
"Wipe off those white stains on your mouth before talking to me, gay~" Tony teased his younger brother, then sat down at the dining table familiarly, and called out to Melonie who was baking bread in the kitchen. Greeted, and began to enjoy the breakfast that belonged to Tommy Hawke. Seeing Tony pick up the cup of coffee that belonged to Tommy, Melonie stopped and said:
"Tony, this cup is yours."
While talking, he swiftly poured out another cup from the coffee pot, brought it to Tony, and put Tommy Hawke's cup of coffee back in its original position.
Tony looked at Melonie suspiciously, then looked at Tommy Hawk who went back to the bathroom and continued to brush his teeth, and said, "What's the problem, it's just a cup of coffee. He not only drank my juice and coffee when he was a child, but also secretly Wearing my Mickey Mouse underwear."
"If you insist, you can try." At this time Tommy Hawk wiped off the water stains on his face, walked out of the bathroom, and smiled at Tony.
Tony picked up Tommy's coffee cup and brought it to his mouth. As soon as he entered, he stood up and rushed into the bathroom to spit out the coffee into the toilet, then grinned and said, "Aunt Melonie, you forgot this cup of espresso Add sugar?"
"Tommy firmly believes that bitterness can lift his spirits." Melonie said with a smile after seeing that Tony didn't believe in evil and insisted on trying.
Tony sat back at the table again, took a sip of the coffee that Melonie poured for himself, and said after neutralizing the bitterness in his mouth: "Tommy, I can personally sponsor you for seventy-five cents, you can go find someone The doctor asked him to use something like an umbrella to check your stomach. I suspect that your stomach is about to become the same as a cat that can excrete coffee beans. Maybe Marvel will draw you into it after knowing your mutation. Comics, becoming a member of the X-Men, my job is to go to the toilet every day to help Professor X prepare coffee beans, and use the bitter taste that made me swear just now to help him concentrate."
"That's a good idea, Tony, you can help me think of a cool nickname after I become an X-Men." Tommy smiled and sat next to Tony, took a sip of his cup of coffee and said.
Tony immediately interjected: "I figured it out, CatAss!"
"Hahahaha~~" Tommy also laughed loudly like Tony, but the laughter suddenly stopped at the highest point, Tommy's gaze at Tony suddenly turned deep, and his voice returned to calm: "Dad What happened to the guy?"
Tony also suppressed his smile, but his expression was not serious. He just drank his coffee and said, "Today is Bethea's visit day. Dad wants us to accompany him to visit Bethea."
"Didn't Dad go to visit Bethea alone before? Lest the two of us divide up his poor visiting time? You and I proposed to go with him many times before, but he vetoed it. What is the reason today? "Tommy asked with some doubts when he heard that he was only visiting Bethea.
Although Bethea was taken to the foster family, family members of the original family can visit once a week, usually for about two to four hours, depending on the schedule of the foster parents.
Tommy Hawke feels that weekly visits are the cruelest punishment for the poor by the Children's Protection Agency. He obviously cannot bring back his child, but he has to meet with her every week, and he can witness the child's death every time. Growing up, but not being able to participate in it.
Tony picked up the bread and took a bite: "Maybe Daddy finally remembered that besides his daughter, he has two sons. By the way, Daddy asked you to wear that grass-green coat with "Diaper People" on it, Bethea said." But she likes to see you in that coat."
"I would never wear that jacket, I'm eighteen, and I'm wearing a cartoon jacket? And it says Diapers? I'm going to be taken for a **** by everyone, and a cute size zero **** , If you can open the sunflower on the day you enter the prison!" Tommy Hawke immediately refused decisively when he heard Tony's words.
Melonie walked over with the baked bread at this time: "I didn't hear anything."
"I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the bank." Tommy Hawke said to Melonie.
Melonie nodded, some disappointment flashed in her eyes quickly, but then she said seriously to Tommy: "Of course it's no problem, I will take care of it, family always comes first, Tommy, say hello to Bethea for me. "
…
Interstate 95, a Ford Raptor pickup with an American bald eagle printed on its body is speeding along the road.
Colin Hawke, the father who rarely changed into a clean casual outfit, was lying on the back seat of the car and sleeping soundly with his mouth wide open. The work that should be done today was completed last night ahead of schedule.
Tony tried to put on an indifferent expression on his face, holding the steering wheel with both hands and focusing on driving. In the co-pilot, Tommy Hawke was wearing a coat with "Diaper People" printed on it, with a relaxed expression, as if he had changed from the previous resistance. While admiring the rapidly sweeping green scenery outside the window, he said in his mouth:
"You know what? I don't feel ashamed to wear this coat now."
"Shut up, Tommy!" Tony said with a straight face beside him, "Don't make me beg you."
At the moment, Tony Leon is wearing a pink jacket with the image of the "Betty Boop" cartoon printed all over it, and a pink barrette with cute dog ear decorations on his head.
"Actually, you should have made it clear from the beginning that you would wear 'Betty Boop' to this house party, and I would have no objection to wearing this 'Napy Guys' jacket." Tommy Hawke from a cigarette case He took out two cigarettes and lit them in his mouth, then handed one to Tony, and said with a smile.
Tony took the cigarette and put it in his mouth, with a desperate voice: "I don't know why, but my sense of anticipation for this visit has plummeted."
"Sons, listen to your unfeeling words, Oh, I am ashamed of you, you have family-valued Italian blood flowing through your body, your closest family members only have a little expectation of you, but you refuse in every possible way, you You should learn from your father, he will try his best to meet any request from your family, remember, family comes first.” Perhaps woken up by the two people’s teasing, Colin Hawke was sleepy in the backseat The voice said vaguely.
Tony nodded knowingly: "Do you know, Dad, if you are willing to exchange your coat with us..."
"Huh..." Before Tony could finish speaking, Colin Hawke's snoring continued.
Tommy Hawk looked out of the window with a cigarette in his hand, finally suppressed the words of mocking his father, and just smiled lightly: "Family comes first, huh?"
Tony Leon turned his face to look at his younger brother, patted the grass green coat of the other party, and patted his pink coat, and said seriously:
"No doubt, FamilyOverEverything."
