Chapter 115 Arriving in Texas
"Well, they're almost here."

George, who was waiting at the exit of the airport, looked at the time, then at his wife with an anxious face, and comforted him:

"Don't worry, Sheldon won't ask for anything, Locke is also with him."

"I know, I know, but Shelly is not yet 12 years old, and he has never been away from me for so long." Mary still looked worried and anxious, and kept looking towards the exit of the airport.

Mixi, who was standing aside, curled her lips. If it wasn't for seeing Peggy again, she wouldn't want to follow.

She and Peggy had been good sisters for a while before.

That was the happiest time for her, because Peggy was as smart as Sheldon, and the two played together.

This made her, who had faced Sheldon's various IQ ridicules since she was a child, feel very happy.

Peggy was not only her friend, but also some of her fantasies about her fellow siblings.

But as time went by, she found that there were fewer and fewer things to talk about with Peggy, and Peggy spoke more and more like Sheldon.

After that, her contact with Peggy almost disappeared, as if Sheldon never played with her, and cared about knowledge she couldn't understand at all every day.

But deep down, he still likes Peggy very much, and he misses the time when he and Peggy were sisters very much.

So when she heard that Peggy would come back with Sheldon, she took the initiative to pick up the plane with her, just to see Peggy again.

As for little George, he can't continue his studies. What he thinks about now is to find a way to make money. He hasn't taken high school courses for a while.

After all, according to his thinking, if he continued to read, he would not learn anything. Instead of wasting time in school and doing nothing in the classroom, it would be better to work a few more jobs to earn money.

"They are here." Mary saw her baby Shelly at first sight: "Come here quickly."

"Mr. Cooper." Locke also spotted George who was developing more and more horizontally at a glance, and greeted them one by one.

It took a while to let go of Little Sheldon, and Mary smiled and said, "Thank you for sending Shelly back, Locke, would you like to come to our house together, I have prepared a special barbecue."

"You're welcome, Sheldon is also my friend, and I'm going to send Peggy home next time, and I have arrangements with my friends." Locke smiled and said, "I will visit in a few days."

"Okay, then I wish you a good time." George glanced at Ashley and Tang Wei beside Locke, thinking that young people nowadays are more fun than we used to be.

"Long time no see, Peggy." Mixi greeted Peggy, "You are getting more and more beautiful."

"You too." Peggy said with a smile. "How was middle school?"

"It's very interesting, and I became the best pitcher on the baseball team." Mixi happily shared her little achievements with the little sisters.

"Very good." Peggy nodded, "Unfortunately, I didn't get to watch your game."

"It's okay, I have a video of the game, we can watch it together when you come to my house."

"Ok."

Mihi took Peggy's hand and chirped, looking very happy, but Peggy's reaction was calmer and more polite.

Mixi, who has a high EQ, soon discovered this, and couldn't help but feel disappointed in her heart, thinking that the time of little sisters in the past is still gone after all.

"Hey, this weight is not light." George took Little Sheldon's luggage: "What's in it."

"It's my cartoon." Little Sheldon said very straightforwardly: "I didn't have time to read it when I was in school, so I will make up for these missed highlights during the holidays."

"Are you still reading those comics?" Thinking of the pictures she had seen in comic books, Mary, a devout Christian, felt uncomfortable, but she couldn't do anything about it, after all, her son only had these hobbies.

After the Sheldon family drove away, a man in a suit and leather shoes came over soon: "Is that Mr. Locke?"

"It's me." Locke glanced at the other party.

"I'm a Porsche salesperson. According to your request, the car you reserved by phone is parked on the side of the road ahead. Please follow me."

"Okay." Locke nodded, followed the other party to a roadside outside the airport, and saw the car he had booked, which was also his means of transportation in Texas during Christmas.

Sitting in the driver's seat and checking briefly, confirming the license plate, insurance, etc. are all in place, Locke signed the contract and settled the balance with a check.

"Okay, let's get in the car." Locke greeted Peggy, Ashley and Tang Wei to get into the car and headed all the way to Peggy's house.

"Mihi seems a little disappointed." On the way, Locke said casually.

"She has to get used to it. After all, people have to grow up. When they reach a certain stage, they always have to say goodbye to some people from the past."

Peggy said: "Now I'm past the time to play with dolls with my little sisters."

Locke nodded. He didn't say anything about you being only 12 years old. Peggy was precocious and he already knew that. He cared more about another thing:
"Peggy, is there something wrong in your house? When I called before, I felt that something was wrong with them."

Logically speaking, when Peggy came back for Christmas, the Barry couple would definitely need someone to pick her up, but now they wanted Locke to take her back, obviously because of some changes in the family.

"They have separated." Peggy said calmly: "Grandma told me that Dad often goes to bars now, and Mom has found a new date."

"What?!" Locke was also slightly taken aback.

He didn't expect that although his intervention allowed Linda to get out of Peggy and delayed the breakup of the relationship between the Barrys and his wife, it still couldn't stop things from happening.

"Are you okay?" Locke looked at Peggy with some concern.

"there is nothing."

Peggy said calmly: "This is the case with hormone-dominated love. When the passion subsides, various problems will appear. It is far less durable than a soul-matched partner. You don't have to worry about me being too much affected."

Of course, Locke understands this, because the child feels neglected, which is largely an excuse for himself. The real reason is that the relationship has faded. After all, everyone has heard the saying of the seven-year itch.

The relationship is flat, and the United States has always been free to pursue the "correctness" of one's own happiness. It is no wonder that the divorce rate has remained high.

He could tell that Peggy was talking about his own thoughts, but it was impossible not to be affected at all.

Especially considering the impact of the Barry couple's divorce on Peggy in the original plot, it is hard for him not to worry about Peggy's state.

"Okay." Locke reached out and rubbed Peggy's head: "During my vacation, I will rent a suite in a nearby hotel for a long time, and then play around. If you are interested, you can go together."

"Okay." Noticing Locke's worry, Peggy put a smile on her face and agreed.
