Chapter 58 Surprise
"Of course not, please come in."

Ethan had no choice but to take the macaroni from her and invite Jenny into the house.

After Jenny walked into the living room, she looked around curiously.

Before entering the house, Jenny thought that Ethan lived alone, and that mess was unavoidable.

But as far as the eye can see, things are arranged in an orderly manner, and the cleanliness is beyond her expectation, only the ashtray on the table in front of the sofa is full of cigarette butts, and there is a half-drunk bottle of whiskey next to it.

"Please feel free, just treat it as your own home." Ethan put the macaroni on the wine cabinet next to him.

"Thank you." After thanking Jenny, she sat down on the large leather sofa, her body sagging, and the feeling of being wrapped made her feel very safe.

"By the way, how is your injury?" Jenny gestured to her waist.

Ethan sat down across from Jenny "it's alright"

After speaking, Ethan felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, so he quickly took out the cigarette case and shook it.

"You don't mind that, do you?"

"If you give me one, then I don't mind."

Ethan smiled dumbly and patted his forehead. He had forgotten that Jenny was also a heavy smoker.

As the two bongs smoked, the living room was filled with smoke.

Jenny seemed a little nervous. She reached out and unbuttoned the top button of her shirt, exposing her collarbone, and then exhaled lightly.

Her folded legs had changed directions several times, and the eyelashes on her eyes trembled slightly.

"Where's Mayor Kendall?" Ethan coughed and took the initiative to start the topic.

"He's still working, and usually he won't go home until midnight."

"Is he that busy at work?"

"Who knows, all he can think about is work, and all he can think about is how to get Proctor."

Hearing her talk about Proctor, Ethan immediately became interested. "Mayor Kendall seems to be very dissatisfied with Proctor. Did they have any grudges before?"

"Do you know about the new casino project launched by the Chino Tribe?"

"I've heard of it, what does this have to do with the two of them?" Ethan sat up straight.

"Unbeknownst to anyone else, Dan and the new chief of the Chino Tribe, Alex Runside, have privately entered into a partnership."

"I heard Dan mention at home that Proctor also had a verbal agreement with the previous chief"

Jenny alternated her legs and continued:
"Proctor will be responsible for expropriating the land needed for the new casino, as well as dealing with other issues that the Chino Tribe is inconvenient to come forward to. In exchange, Proctor will occupy a certain share in the new casino project of the Chino Tribe. .”

Ethan flicked the cigarette ash, and took over the conversation, "In other words, Mayor Kendall wants to squeeze out Proctor and take away the position of the invisible partner of the new casino in Chino Moon."

He hadn't understood why Mayor Kendall had been chasing Proctor so hard before, but what Jenny said made him clear his doubts.

Now the preparations for the new casino are almost ready, and the construction has already started. The town of Kender looks harmless to humans and animals. I didn't expect this peach to be picked so slippery.

Kendall has always said that Proctor is a big cancer in Banshee Town, but in fact, from a certain point of view, this is really hard to say.

Proctor actually believes in a concept. In his own words, he never shits in places where he eats.

So he has been maintaining the order of Banshee Town intentionally or unintentionally, but anyone who sells pills within Banshee Town will be severely hit by him.

No matter what his purpose is, it can be regarded as keeping the peace of this side.

"You're right. Now that all aspects of the new casino have been prepared, Dan and Alex are only thinking about how to kick Proctor out."

After taking a sip of the cigarette, Jenny said quietly:
"I don't know what he's doing outside all day long. He falls asleep every time he comes home. He hasn't touched me for a whole year."

The last sentence contained too much information, Ethan didn't dare to answer, he changed the subject
"Why do you bring this up to me?"

Jenny looked straight at him, "Didn't you ask? I think I can tell you anything."

It was even more impossible to answer these words, Ethan coughed hastily.

"Are you thirsty, I'll get you a bottle of water."

When Ethan walked to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door, footsteps sounded from behind, and a gust of fragrant wind rushed over.

He froze immediately, and Jenny hugged his waist tightly from behind.

"Ever since you saved me on the Banshee Festival, I've been thinking of you in my mind. You don't know, the moment I saw you in the school gymnasium, I wasn't afraid at all."

"Mrs. Kendall, please don't do this."

"I told you, call me Jenny."

At this moment, a horn sounded outside the house, and Jenny let go of her hand in fright, and quickly returned to the sofa.

After a while, the door of the room was slammed.

Ethan breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and went to open the door. Siobhan and Emmett stood at the door with serious faces.

"Why did you come here?"

Siobhan looked at him with his hands behind his back, and then suddenly pulled out a guy from behind.

"boom"

Jenny trembled in fright, and Ethan was covered with streamers and colorful scraps of paper.

"Happy birthday"

The two of them yelled together, and then Siobhan laughed and gave Ethan a big hug, and Emmett laughed honestly, showing two rows of big white teeth.

"You two bastards, I thought something happened."

Ethan patted Emmett's thick back vigorously, and his wife Meg also got out of the car with a smile on her face, holding a big cake in her hand.

"Hey, Meg, long time no see."

Siobhan said, "We and Brock and Alma raised funds to buy this. If Alma hadn't reminded us, we wouldn't even know that today is your birthday."

Meg smiled and said: "Alma is going to her aunt's house to help take care of the child, and Brock is still in the hospital, so we are the only ones here. The two of them insisted that I hide in the car and said they would give you a surprise."

Ethan scratched his head, "I didn't even know it was my birthday today."

From childhood to adulthood, in his memory, he didn't celebrate his birthday very much. Every year, after that date passed, he suddenly remembered, oh, so the birthday has passed.

Unexpectedly, after coming to this world, he was surprised by them, and Ethan couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.

"Are you here as a guest?"

Siobhan looked inside with his head poking his head, but Ethan stepped aside quickly.

"You guys come in quickly, this is Mrs. Kendall, you all know her, she came here to express her gratitude for the gymnasium last time."

Ethan patted off the colorful crumbs on his body, then pointed to the pasta on the wine cabinet next to him.

Jenny got up quickly and greeted them.

After expressing her birthday wishes to Ethan, she found an excuse to leave in a hurry.

Before getting in the car, Jenny waved to Ethan, and she didn't get in the car until Ethan nodded at her.

"Hey, you two?"

Siobhan walked out of the room and looked at Ethan with a puzzled face, Ethan reached out and pushed her head away

"What do you think, people just came to express their thanks."

Siobhan stuck out her tongue in embarrassment. Jenny has a husband, so I was overthinking it.
