Lake didn't stay in Fox town for much longer.

After all, the Karen family is a vampire, and he is just a very ordinary person. So after spending five or six days with his little cotton jacket in Fox Town, Lake returned to New York.

He planned to save some money and wait until he had enough money, and directly use up all the draws in the first stage.

For this reason, he also used a credit card to pack $120,000 and specially brushed his credit rating in a mainland hotel.

Tony Stark called because Lake's Stark credit card was directly swiped for $120,000 at a fried chicken restaurant. Stark Bank's risk control department detected it, and then Jarvis told Lake.

This is not.

Tony Stark called and joked whether Lake was planning to cash out and run away. Of course, this was a joke, but in a teasing tone, he asked if there was something wrong with Lake's capital turnover.

Of course Lake said nothing.

In fact, Lake paid off the cash out money in one go in the second month.

During that month, Lake took five orders from the mainland hotel in one go. None of them were from New York, but they were from near New York.

What?

in principle?

People are all teased that they are short of money and still care about principles. Can those things be eaten as food?

The sum of the five orders was about 670,000 yuan, and the 120,000 yuan from Stark Bank, Lake estimated that if there was more than 100 million yuan that a bank was waiting for the recharge lottery, the money he could afford was almost enough for Skye's tuition and training courses, so he stopped immediately afterwards.

The FBI and S.H.E.L.D., which pretended to be the FBI, swept one empty at a time.

soon.

Another new year has arrived.

Year 2004!

Washington Airport.

Lake brought Skye, just like last year, after spending Christmas with Karen, Betty and Rose, and returned to New York on January 4th of the New Year.

It was Kassel and Alexhis who came to pick them up.

Downstairs of Star Building.

Kassel said to Lake, "By the way, Lake, don't forget, tonight, Bar 8867, Irving is leaving."

Lake nodded.

Irving, full name Irving Strand, the fire brigade captain of the 252nd Branch of the New York Fire Department, is also a common friend of Lake and Kassel.

Tonight is Irving's last day in New York.

The Lone Star State, also known as Texas, was a fire brigade of 126 there. Half a month ago, due to rescue a fire, unfortunately encountered an explosion that had no time to react. Only one person survived and the rest were killed.

so……

At the invitation there, Owen planned to take his son to the Lone Star State to rebuild the 126th Fire Brigade, so Owen planned to invite Lake and Cassel to have another drink before leaving.

Back home.

Skye, who is one year older this year and fifteen years old, plunged into the sofa: "I don't want to get up anymore. By the way, when can I stay at home alone?"

Lake walked to the bar and picked up the wine: "This, wait for you to have a driver's license, so next year?"

Skye can get a driver's license at the age of sixteen. She can stay at home for a short time and will not be troubled by people from the Children's Welfare Department.

Skye turned over on the sofa: "Do you know Betty is in love?"

Lake took a sip of Bourbon and looked at Skye: "I don't know."

Skye rolled her eyes: "I promised not to run this year, but as a result, you were at home on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and then you went to find your girlfriend and left me at home."

Lake laughed haha.

I had no choice when I went back. After all, Lake doesn’t have an apartment in Washington, DC, but it’s different when I went back this year. Lake lives with Rachel, the girlfriend of the D.C. most of the time.

Of course.

Lake also saw Rachel's daughter, eight years old and in elementary school son, who was born to Rachel and her ex-husband Ray, but the custody of Rachel.

Rachel also seemed happy to see Lake having fun with her daughter.

Lake has no objection, let's say that, as long as it is a girl, whether it's someone else's or his own, Lake still likes it quite well.

reason?

It’s not his kindness. What he looks like and what kind of person he will become. Lake doesn’t care at all. Naturally, he doesn’t care anymore. How could he get angry because of this?

Skye directly lived at home with Karen and Betty.

Lake shrugged: "I think this is pretty good. After all, you are all girls."

Skye turned over from the sofa and sat up: "Are you and that Rachel serious?"

Lake laughed loudly and said, "I refuse to answer this question."

He has passed this question.

I won't get married.

As long as Lake doesn't get married or fall in love, then he is free and perfectly solves the problems that may arise when stepping on two boats or scumbag men.

Skye shrugged and stood up and walked upstairs.

Lake raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't forget that you will start school in a few days. Don't keep staring at the computer to protect your eyesight."

Skye waved his hand without looking back.

Lake sipped his glass of wine and looked at Skye who was walking up the spiral stairs, and smiled helplessly.

Skye is different from Rachel's son again. After all, Lake is Skye's adoptive father legally. Naturally, Lake still cares about Skye.

Probably...

The little cotton jacket is greater than Skye's son David is greater than Rachel's son.

Um.

This is how it is sorted in Lake's mind.

At 8 o'clock in the evening.

Lake put on his blazer, put on the coat, then took out twenty-meter-degree knives from his wallet and placed them on the table, and said to Skye, who was cleaning the dining table: "I'm out, remember, don't run around."

Skye put away the twenty-dollar pay for doing housework today: "I know, after I finish packing, I'll go downstairs to watch TV series with Alexhis."

Lake nodded, and turned around and left the door.

Although the past two years have passed, Skye is still unwilling to accept the pocket money given by Lake. There is no way, Lake can only increase Skye's labor income from doing housework.

After all, the last time Lake colluded with Mrs. Akali on the eighth floor. As a result, after Skye came back, she looked at Lake with a 200-meter-de-speaking knife, asking the baby nanny who could get a 200-meter-de-stop shop for two hours.

so……

Lake was very happy. At least, Skye was not a fool. Moreover, he was very similar to him in terms of money. He was very independent. He did not become like the white and rich beauties in the school because of his adoption. He thought that the purchasing power of a hundred dollars was very low.

8867 bar.

When Lake first walked into the bar, he saw Cassel and Irving waving not far away.

Get close.

Lake hugged Irving, who had stood up, then took off the coat outside, pulled the chair and sat down: "Where is Taylor, haven't you come?"

Irving, who was bigger than Lake and Cassel, spread his hands: "He failed to propose yesterday and was healing at home."

Lake said, "Oh, that's awful."

Irving's son Taylor, 23 years old this year. Like Irving, he inherits his father's business and is also a firefighter. However, there is a difference between Taylor and his father Irving.

Well……

Irving is a man with a gender, who loves women, and his son Taylor is a man with a gender, who loves men.

It's a base!

Lake has received good training for Ki-not, after all, in the army, but he has no questions or policies. Therefore, Lake also maintains this for groups with different orientations from ordinary people.

It's not up to you.

Wine is served.

Kassel picked up his wine glass: "Cheers."

Lake also picked up the wine glass and said to Owen: "The road is smooth and I'll be safe when I'm settled there. Cassel and I go over and remember to entertain us."

Owen smiled and said, "Of course, anytime."

Three wine glasses collided together.

Drink it all in one go.

Irving clenched his fist and coughed a few times in his mouth.

Seeing this, Kassel smiled and said, "Man, this is the first cup."
