A week later.

Lake followed General Ross from Texas and flew to Quantico military base again.

"Remember to keep this matter secret."

"……I know."

"I'm afraid you don't know."

"..."

When the plane was approaching the Quantico base, General Ross unfastened his seat belt and got beside Lake, waking up Lake, who was sleeping with his head covered, and said with a serious face.

Lake opened his mouth.

General Rose said, "The Rachel of The Sun."

Lake said with a cry, "Don't worry, I know what to say and what not to say."

Rose expressionlessly: "There are other things I'm talking about."

Lake got up and looked at General Rose suspiciously. He didn't know if it was an illusion. It seemed that at this moment General Rose was offline and his adoptive father Rose was online.

What the hell?

Lake thought for a while: "Other things should be gone, are you talking about Betty and the Dr. Banner?"

"I'm talking about you and Rachel."

"..."

Rose shook his head speechlessly and said to Lake: "When you were attacked in Texas, I sent someone to take Skye and Rachel to Quantico Base for protection, and Karen already knew Rachel’s She was very angry when something happened, but she had been busy before, so I didn't tell you."

Lake grew his mouth: "Karen knows...what?"

"What do you mean?"

Rose glanced at Lake: "Everything, there are still ten minutes to land. Think about it, how can you comfort Karen, she is very sad."

Finished.

Rose got up, ready to go to the cockpit, but was muttering in his heart.

What do you know?

Good guys.

Isn’t it just about Rachel’s pregnancy? Could it be that this kid has other little secrets in his heart?

Lake also looked at Rose's back, his little thoughts turned anxiously.

Karen knows it?

what?

Rachel is pregnant?

Lake knew this. After all, Rose had said it when he arrived from Quantico, so Karen knew that Rachel was pregnant, which was expected.

But... do you know it?

Theron was exposed?

Or is Emilia and his little padded jacket also exposed?

Rebellious child?

That stuff doesn't count, he has no place in his heart at all. After raising him to the age of 21, he kicked it out, letting him fend for himself.

Lake's eyes flickered.

In the cockpit.

Rose is having an encrypted satellite call with Karen.

quickly.

ten minutes later.

The plane landed steadily in the airfield of the Quantico military base, which was rebuilt again.

five minutes later.

Inside the hangar.

Lake lowered his head in thought, always feeling that the possibility that Karen knew about Emilia and the little padded jacket shouldn't be great.

but……

Lake looked at Rose from time to time and turned his head to look at him. He seemed to have a mysterious smile, and he always felt that there was a possibility.

at this time.

Rachel not far away looked at Lake coming off the plane, ran over and hugged Lake.

Lake returned to his senses.

not far away.

Skye also brought Rachel's adopted daughter, Josie, over.

Skye was not like Rachel, but smiled and greeted Lake.

Lake smiled back.

"Are you OK."

"It's okay."

After Rachel let go of Lake, he said, I was worried to death these few days, and then I directly gave my own kiss.

The corners of Skye's mouth twitched, and then he directly pulled Josie, who was staring at her side, and turned around.

Hey Hey hey.

There are still two minors here, so unrestrained, okay?

Ten minutes later.

Base quarters.

After Lake got out of the car, he hugged Karen who was standing at the door waiting for him to come back, and then looked around at Karen's eyes with some guilty conscience: "Where is Betty?"

Let me put it this way.

Lake can reverse time for Karen, but not necessarily for Rose.

Of course, this is just a metaphor.

Karen said: "Still in the lab, come in, I think we need to have a serious conversation."

Lake said, "I'm going..."

Serious conversation.

This seems familiar, can you not go?

Karen interrupted directly: "It doesn't matter if you go later, Rachel, you take your two children to the backyard first."

Lake looked at Rachel.

Rachel made an apologetic mouth shape at Lake, and then yelled at Skye and Josie not far away, and she led Skye and Josie into the house.

Lake and Karen are close behind.

"Sit down, son."

"……Thank you."

After listening to Karen's serious words directly after entering the room, Lake felt guilty. He could clearly perceive the sadness...and disappointment passed on from Karen?

Good guys.

Really exposed?

how come.

Impossible, I still do a good job of confidential work.

"When did this happen."

"what."

Lake returned to his senses and looked at him sitting on the opposite sofa, directly transformed from prosecutor Karen into a psychologist. He picked up the Karen who had grown up with Lake and Betty and raised her eyebrows. , Which is what we discovered when we traveled to Los Angeles."

Karen nodded: "Why not?"

Lake's thoughts turned sharply: "I want to talk about it, but after returning from Los Angeles, this kind of thing came out. I originally wanted to take Rachel back this Christmas."

I'm so witty.

"Really?"

"of course!"

Lake said to Karen, "I lied to Betty, and I can't lie to you."

Karen chuckled, "Okay, this matter is too much for you, so there is more, let's talk about it."

"and also?"

"Want me to say?"

"No need to."

"What do you say."

Lake waved his hand quickly, looked at Karen's serious expression, hesitated for a while, and thought for a while: "Catherine?"

Forget it.

Anyway, I will bring it back to Karen sooner or later.

Lake didn’t tell Karen before, because it was not in time at the time. If it was exposed, it would have an impact on Emilia. At the very least, if it was brought back then, there would be no doubt that the VAM consortium would be turned into The personal assets of the immortal royal family will not go so smoothly.

Karen raised her eyebrows.

Really something.

Karen was thinking about the words her husband Rose had called him on the satellite phone. She wanted to explode. Unexpectedly, it really exploded.

"Ahem!"

Karen coughed and looked at Lake: "Go on."

Lake glanced suspiciously at Karen this time.

This time he clearly captured Karen's nervousness, surprise, and guilty conscience for a second.

Shet.

Is this a mess if you care?

but……

Lake thought for a while, it didn't matter, he leaned on the sofa, spread his hands, smiled and said, "Catherine is your granddaughter."

"puff!"

"..."

The lemonade that Karen had just drunk spouted directly: "What did you say?"

Jesus God.

What she heard, she thought Lake still had a woman named Catherine, but in the end, good fellow.

Lake got up with concern and drew a few tissues from the coffee table and handed them to Karen.

He didn't want to cause Karen to choke water and go to **** because of the choking water. If he ran to **** and cleared the customs because of the choking water, it is estimated that Mephisto would also feel wronged.

Karen took the tissue and pointed to the sofa: "Sit down, tell me clearly, start from the beginning."

Lake shrugged: "Starting from the beginning, I might not finish talking in a while."

Talking.

Lake briefly talked about how he met Emilia in Budapest, then the birth of Catherine, and after that, Lake went to Budapest every time in these years.

Karen interrupted: "Just every March you will lie to your sister that you are traveling to Europe?"

Lake nodded.

Karen covered her forehead, and looked at Lake, who had made such a big thing silently, in disbelief: "How old is it?"

"Fourteen, one year younger than Skye."

"Wow."

Karen wowed in surprise, and then seemed to think of something: "But, you don't seem to have been there this year or last year, why?"

I've been there.

Left a clone here.

Lake thought this in his heart, but he certainly wouldn't say that, and said directly: "Amelia came over there at the time."

Karen nodded.

Next second.

Karen looked at Lake again: "But, you never thought about telling me this. When do you plan to wait for Rose and me to die?"

This is Zhu Xin's words.

Lake quickly said, "How come."

Karen said, "Oh, when are you going to tell me, Lake, remember, when you were sixteen, and when your sister was sixteen, the adult note I gave you?"

Lake nodded.

"What's written on it?"

"Hohebestpoliilywillalwaysbeyourmost"

Honesty is the best policy~lightnovelpub.net~Family is always your most trustworthy.

This was when Lake was an adult at the age of 16, and Karen gave him as a gift. If every family has a backbone, then Karen is undoubtedly that one.

Karen takes the family very seriously, maybe ordinary holidays, or even, for example, Karen's own birthday, she will not ask everyone to come back, but Thanksgiving, family reunion day must come back.

"Then did you do it?"

"I'm very sorry."

Lake very sincerely apologized to Karen, and then said: "In fact, at the beginning, I wanted to bring her back to see you, but there are some things I have to deal with."

Karen looked at the expression on Lake's face: "What about now?"

Lake said: "If you want to see them, I'm happy to let them come."

Karen did not answer this question immediately.

Her disappointment is only that Lake did not tell her granddaughter Catherine's existence, not that Lake was silently born with a foreign woman.

Karen's education of Lake and Betty has always been similar to stocking, but the rope is always held in the hand.

Love is always unrestrained and unpredictable.

There are more federal people who don’t take responsibility after giving birth. Are there too few things that get out of control after stealing the forbidden fruit?

If Lake said he had never visited his daughter, then Karen would be disappointed and very angry.

Karen shook her head: "Are they still in Budapest now?"

Lake nodded: "Emilia is still there. Catherine is now attending school in the federal town of Fox, Washington."

Karen: "..."
