Chapter 423 Before Christmas
After Mike's "trouble", Peggy, who was originally prepared to condemn the man for "cheating", is now also "blessed".

Eat the mouth of the mouth, take the hand of the hand
The beautiful girl Peggy generously said that she would forgive the other party for the time being.

……

Soon another week passed, and before Christmas, the students had a two-week break.

It can be used to reunite with family or go out for fun.

As winter break began, something good happened at Columbia University.

In the college basketball league that ended this year, "Werewolf" Scott, with his extraordinary physique, single-handedly led the Columbia University basketball team to win this year's league championship.

It has won great honor for Columbia University.

Scott's outstanding performance in the finals also attracted the attention of a strong professional basketball team.

Faced with this great opportunity that might only come once in his life, Scott went home and discussed with his father and decided to skip the next three years of college and directly join the professional basketball arena.

At the same time, his childhood sweetheart Susan is also planning to study and then become an assistant to the "werewolf".

It seems that with the encouragement of Scott's father, "Werewolf" Scott and Susan, the childhood sweethearts, have made substantial progress in their relationship.

"What... running away from home... don't be impulsive, Lina..." Before Christmas, Mike received an unexpected call in his luxurious villa: "Yes, you can come to Apple City to have a look, you are always welcome here..."

As the holiday season approached, except for Collins who missed home and went back to Texas, the other girls who had free time stayed in the villa.

Among them are the three girls from the Devil Body Group and Tina who is tracking down the "mysterious man".

Tina even brought her younger brothers and sisters to the villa. It seemed that the whole family was planning to spend Christmas with Mike.

At this time, in the lively luxury villa, the girls were carefully decorating the room to create a festive atmosphere. However, with Mike's phone call, the girls all pricked up their ears.

"Who is Lina?" Intelligence agent Tina asked in a low voice to Karen, who was sticking star sequins on the wall with her.

As an intelligence collector for Team X, Tina knew that Mike had a school beauty "running partner" Lisa at school, but she really didn't know who Lina was.

"Lina, she is our high school classmate. At that time, she was the first leader of Mike's support team..." The heartless and naive Karen directly revealed all the information.

Lina, a girl with a strong bookish air and a gentle personality, is actually a real academic failure. After graduating from high school, she was taken back home by her parents to raise cattle.

"Yes, Mary and Missy are coming too, you can go with them." Mike reminded Lina on the phone.

The girl grew up in the small town of Telford and had never traveled so far, so it would definitely not be wrong to give her a few more reminders.

"What's wrong? Is Lina in any trouble?"

As soon as Mike hung up the phone, he saw Peggy, a beautiful girl wearing a deer antler hairpin, standing opposite him and staring at him.

Back then, when they were still at Melford High School, Peggy had formed an alliance with Lina and received a lot of care from the other.

The two of them also fought together against three girls from the Devil Body Group.

Therefore, Peggy is still very concerned about Lina's recent situation. The last time the girl went back to Texas for academic exchange, she was in a hurry and didn't have time to see that sister.

"It's nothing serious, it's due to family reasons..." Mike briefly explained Lina's situation.

The girl originally took over a mountain of cattle at home and lived a very leisurely life. But after her adult birthday, her parents began to urge her to get married.

From what the girl said, her parents seemed very anxious to have a grandchild.

Especially around Christmas, people have already started arranging blind dates for girls.

"This is indeed a problem." After hearing what happened, Peggy could easily understand that Lina's parents wanted a suitable "heir".

After all, Lina is the only girl in her family.

Peggy didn't find this family situation strange, because her own family situation was also quite complicated.

It also proves the saying: Every family has its own problems.

"When Lina comes, what are you going to do with her?" Peggy glanced at the girls of different looks in the villa, and felt the same sense of empathy for Lina.

Given the other party's situation, the competitiveness doesn't seem to be very great.

Even Peggy, a talented and beautiful girl, sometimes feels pressured when facing Mike's many "beauties".

"It's all because of this stinky man who is too fickle~"

As if she was thinking of something unhappy, Peggy glared at the man in front of her.

Mike was glared at for no apparent reason, but he didn't take it seriously, nor did he try to use his ability to find out what the girl was thinking.

It is worth mentioning that after Mike merged with the [Angel Body], he could not only listen to women's voices, but also men's voices.

However, he usually does not use this ability on people around him.

"If Lina comes over, she can do whatever she wants, depending on her own interests. Anyway, I support her..." Mike, who has a net worth of nearly 10 billion, does have the confidence to say this.

At the same time, he glanced at Carly who was decorating the restaurant and said, "Even if she doesn't want to do anything, I can support her for the rest of her life."

"Tsk, I think you want her to be your personal nanny!" It was a rare occasion that Peggy was sarcastic in front of a man.

Even without the ability to read minds, Peggy knows what Mike is thinking now. It's nothing more than the babysitter Carly, who now has her own fashion design business and can't stay in the villa all the time to take care of Mike.

Now, it is very likely that Lina will come and take over Carly's previous "nanny" job.

"Is there anything wrong with that? The choice is up to Lina..." Mike smiled and tried to tease the girl in front of him.

What’s more, another year has passed and she has grown into a big girl and has everything she needs.

She looks like a completely young and beautiful girl.

It's just a pity that it will take at least a year to "eat" the other person. "What, what's wrong?" Peggy was originally angry at Mike's shamelessness, but the man's "ambiguous" gaze made her blush again.

Peggy, who is almost an adult, knows the meaning of that look.

The girl felt a little comfortable in her heart, but was eventually overwhelmed by shyness. Seeing the man's smiling expression, she finally chose to "escape."

……

At the same time, Mary, who was alone with her two children at Cooper's house, was packing her travel belongings.

She plans to take her two children to Apple City to visit her husband and spend Christmas there.

So, there is a lot to pack.

"Mom, can I go to California? I heard that the university there will organize a winter study session..."

Just when Mary was busy, little Sheldon stood in front of her in a cute manner.

"Be good, Shelly. There might be a study session in Apple City." Mary pushed her younger son aside and continued to pack the thick clothes that the family would need for the long trip.

As for study sessions, she didn't pay too much attention to them.

Mary had already learned from a phone call from her husband that he had "recovered".

Only those who have had a sick family member know how important it is for the whole family to be healthy.

Therefore, Mary’s “care” for her husband now temporarily outweighs the “needs” of her youngest son.

"No, I don't want to go to Apple City, I want to go to California..." Seeing that acting cute didn't work, little Sheldon rolled his eyes and chose the "making trouble" tactic.

"Stop it, Shelly~" Mary, who was annoyed by the noise, scolded her little son. But seeing his eyes filled with sparkling tears, the woman comforted him softly: "There are many fun places in Apple City. When we get there, I will take you to the big mall to buy toy cars, okay~"

"No, I don't want to. I don't want to go to Apple City..." However, this time, the temptation of the toy car failed to impress little Sheldon at all, and he still showed great resistance to going to Apple City.

Mary, who was busy arranging travel plans, saw that her youngest son was not moved by any persuasion, so she decided to use the simplest and most effective way to deal with the situation - getting angry.

Even though Mary favors little Sheldon in the Cooper family, if he really disobeys, this mother, who already has a short patience, will eventually choose to use force.

On the contrary, Father George is a gentle man. No matter how the children make trouble, he will not take any action.

"You have low self-esteem and are afraid of going to Apple City to meet Peggy and Mike who are better than you, right?"

Just when the atmosphere in the living room was tense, Missy, dressed up beautifully, came out and immediately grasped little Sheldon's pain point.

In fact, this is exactly the case. The reason why young Sheldon is reluctant to go to Apple City is that he is afraid of meeting Peggy, his peer who has higher academic "achievements" than him.

He wanted to use the winter break to study at university, hoping to "catch up" with Peggy through hard work, or even surpass her.

However, he was quite aware of his own "survival ability" and knew to choose the one in California, where his "acquaintance" George Jr. could take care of him and go there to study.

"Is that so, Shelly?"

Seeing her little son's pitiful and guilty look after his secret was exposed, Mary quietly let go of the clothes hanger beside her and comforted him, "It's okay, Peggy and Mike are both your friends. And in my heart, you will always be the most talented one."

"Really?" Although little Sheldon knew that his mother was most likely comforting him, he still felt much better after receiving the compliment.

Then, he blinked his big, sparkling eyes and continued to act pitiful, "Then can I not go to Apple City with you? I can go to California to find little George by myself."

"No~" Although Mary felt sorry for her son, she would definitely not agree to him traveling alone. So she thought about it and found a compromise and said, "How about next summer? Your father and I will accompany you to California, and we can also visit George and his family..."

"Okay!" Although he was not happy with his mother's suggestion, Sheldon knew that this was the best situation. If he continued to be stubborn, he knew that he would be beaten.

A family "turmoil" is over, and everyone is quite satisfied with the result.

However, Sheldon did not forget the culprit who had embarrassed him just now. He turned his head and looked at Missy, who was dressed up "fancy", and shouted: "Ugly~"

It can be seen that since Peggy left last time, Missy has been consciously controlling her "weight", but for her who is in adolescence and growing, the effect is not very obvious.

The slim-fit jeans and winter jacket made her look bulging.

Coupled with her unskilled makeup skills, she does not look very good now.

"You're just jealous... Peggy and Mike are smarter than you..." Missy, whose pain point was also touched, became excited and her fighting spirit increased sharply.

"Ugly... caterpillar..."

"Arrogant... jealous..."

I have to say, this brother and sister are both quite talented in poking at other people's pain points.

"Shut up!"

Mary finally couldn't stand it anymore and yelled at the children. Then she said to her youngest daughter, "Missy, go back to your room and wash off the heavy makeup on your face and change into looser clothes. Also, Shelly is your brother, you shouldn't make malicious assumptions about him..."

"It's always like this, you blame me. It was obviously Sheldon who made the mistake first!" Missy's mood instantly turned bad after being lectured by her mother, and she turned around and walked towards the room angrily.

At the same time, out of the corner of his eye he saw little Sheldon opening and closing his mouth with pride, and silently saying "ugly".

This made Missy even angrier. After entering the room, she slammed the door shut with a bang.

"And you, Shelly, Missy is your sister, you shouldn't make fun of her appearance~" After directing her daughter, Mary turned her attention to her youngest son.

But little Sheldon was very smart. When his mother turned to look at him, he had already pretended to be a "good boy".

Moreover, children are very sensitive, and little Sheldon clearly knows that his mother will "favor" him.

Sure enough, seeing how "sensible" and smart her youngest son was, Mary didn't say anything else.
