Overcome everything just to find you

Chapter 19

Chicago, USA

Kevin took out a bunch of keys from his backpack, picked one out of it, inserted it into the keyhole, turned right twice, and the door opened.The layout of the house remains the same, except that the curtains are drawn.

"Nothing has changed." Marcus said after seeing the arrangement in the house.

"Let's take a rest first, and take a bath later."

Marcus said hello and put the suitcase in the bedroom. Kevin opened the curtains, opened the window a little bit to get the air in the room, and then boiled the bath water and drinking water.

"When are you going back to school?"

"It can be done tomorrow."

"On leave?"

"Ah."

"Go back to school tomorrow."

"What about you." Kevin stopped what he was doing and looked at Marcus.

"Rest." Marcus looked at Kevin with a smile, and Kevin gave Marcus a blank look.

After more than half an hour, I finally finished some things.Marcus carried Kevin, who was about to do laundry, directly to the bedroom, no matter how much Kevin struggled, it was useless. "I can do those things tomorrow, and the rest of today is sleep." Marcus said.

The next day

Just after six o'clock, Kevin woke up.Kevin quietly and gently dressed, covered Marcus with a quilt, and gently closed the bedroom door.After washing everything, I started to make breakfast, boiled porridge, and steamed some steamed buns I bought from the supermarket on the way back yesterday.After finishing everything, he went back to the bedroom and gently woke up Marcus who was still asleep.Marcus rubbed his sleepy eyes, sat on the bed absentmindedly, then looked at Kevin standing by the bed, and asked Kevin what time it was, Kevin replied that it was almost seven o'clock, and Marcus answered Then fell back on the bed.

"If you don't get up, I'll have breakfast first. I'll go shopping after eating."

Marcus didn't speak, and turned his back on Kevin.In fact, Marcus didn't sleep anymore, lying on the bed, he was thinking about what to do next.

Ten minutes later, Marcus came to the living room and sat across from Kevin. After a few sips of porridge, he read the New York Times and the Chicago Tribune. Kevin deliberately placed it beside the dining table.

"Who are you going to see later?" Kevin could see that Marcus had deliberately washed his face with facial cleanser and sprayed some of the perfume he put on the sink in the bathroom, so he asked Marcus like this.

Marcus was startled, and looked up from the newspaper, "It's nothing, I'm going to meet some old friends." After speaking, the corners of his mouth lifted a little.

"Not in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, accompany me to buy vegetables first and then bring them back. Is that okay?"

"What do you say?" Marcus said.

Later, Marcus accompanied Kevin to the vegetable market to buy vegetables.Some stall owners who are familiar with Kevin in the vegetable market saw Kevin appearing again, and greeted him and chatted with him.Usually it only takes more than half an hour to buy groceries, but today it took more than an hour.

"You will have to work hard for the rest." Kevin gave all the dishes in his hand to Marcus, "I took a taxi to go to school and do some things. I may not go back at noon, but I will definitely go home for dinner at night. "

"Okay, I'll wait for you to go home for dinner tonight." Marcus looked at Kevin and said, his eyes were full of happiness.After Kevin happily said hello, he turned and walked to the side of the street to stop the car, and Marcus also offered food and walked towards home.

After Marcus got home and put down the food, he sent a message on his mobile phone: 12:15 old place

Afterwards, Marcus took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, and was about to start a big job. He had to clean the room carefully, up and down, inside and out.Do the laundry first.But before that, Marcus gave the washing machine a run so he could put his clothes in it with confidence.Marcus stuffed all the clothes he took off last night into the washing machine and turned on the washing machine.Then, Marcus looked outside, and the weather was not bad, although there was no sunshine and cold wind, it was not very cold, so Marcus planned to wash some sheets as well.Seeing the washing machine in operation, Marcus put all the other things to be washed in the clothes basket next to the washing machine.Then he swept the room carefully again, not letting go of any short hair or a little bit of dust.Then, I mopped it twice with a mop, and carefully wiped all the decorations in the room with a rag.Of course, before wiping the decorations, Marcus hangs the laundry and puts the sheets in the washing machine.

Looking at the spotless room, Marcus drank water in relaxation.Glancing at the alarm clock hanging on the wall, it's 11:23.Just wait until the sheets are done and then go out, Marcus thought.

Just when Marcus was about to put on his coat, the washing machine made a beeping sound, indicating that the laundry was done.Then, he aired the sheets.The cold winter wind hangs from the balcony into the living room, and the sheets are blown by the wind.

Marcus, who put on his coat, sorted out his clothes, and then went out.

In the afternoon, Marcus stayed at home, reading outdated newspapers and drinking the fragrant Tieguanyin.When it was time to cook, Marcus sorted out the messy newspapers that had been spread everywhere, and put the newspapers back where they belonged.Although he put down the newspaper, Marcus was still brainstorming in his mind.

After looking at the fresh vegetables he bought, Marcus rolled up his sleeves and prepared to start making dinner.

Take out a large and tender white radish from the bag, cut off the head and tail with a kitchen knife, and then cut the radish into pieces without haste; then take out the fat and thin white radish bought from the Chinese market in the morning from the refrigerator The pork is also cut into pieces; then Marcus stews the radish braised meat according to the traditional and authentic method.

During the stew, Kevin came back.

"It smells so good, what are you doing?" Kevin asked as he took off his coat when he smelled the fragrance as soon as he entered the door.

"Guess." Marcus looked up at Kevin and continued to cut olives and vegetables, "I can eat after I fry the vegetables, let's rest for a while."

Kevin picked up the lid of the pot curiously and glanced into the pot, "Wow, radish braised meat." After speaking, he took out a pair of chopsticks from the side and directly picked up a radish and blew it, then sent it to Marcus's mouth On the side, Marcus opened his mouth and bit the chopsticks.

"Let go." Kevin wanted to pull the chopsticks out.Hearing the order from Kevin, Marcus immediately let go.

"Well, it's delicious. Just stew for a while." Kevin commented after tasting.

A few minutes later, the delicious dishes are on the table.

Marcus looked at Kevin's appearance, and felt that he was extremely happy now, with delicious food and beautiful women, life is a joy.

"Is there something on my face?" Kevin asked Marcus when he caught him looking at him.

"See if you can't do it?"

"What if I say no?"

"No, we have to see."

Kevin put a piece of meat in Marcus's bowl and said, "It's time to eat."

Nearly 8:30 there was a knock on the door.Kevin opened the door.

"Hello, is Mr. Wolfe here?" The person outside the door asked politely in English.

"Yes. Excuse me, are you?"

"Is that Dave?" Marcus asked, now sitting in a chair at the dining table.

"Yes, sir."

"Kevin, let him in."

"Please come in." Kevin let the gentleman outside the door enter the living room.

Marcus puts his phone down and observes someone Kevin doesn't know standing in the living room. "Long time no see. You didn't come at noon today."

"I'm going to have dinner with clients at noon. You think I don't want to have dinner with everyone. It's not because of my meager salary, and I'm not like you." Dave complained.

"Didn't you eat? Kevin, bring some noodles to this poor poor man who is suffering from hunger and cold."

Kevin brought out a large bowl of fragrant noodles from the kitchen and put them on the dining table, and Marcus motioned for Dave to sit on the chair and eat the noodles.Dave was a little surprised to see the steaming hot noodles, but he politely said thank you to Kevin, then sat down and began to gobble up the noodles.Kevin advised him to eat slowly.But he didn't seem to hear it, and he still ate it with big mouthfuls.

"Finish? Do you want any more?" Seeing Dave put down his chopsticks and forks, Marcus asked.

"No, I'm full. Thank you for the hospitality."

"Actually, you don't have to be so polite, just relax and be natural."

Dave scratched his head shyly, smiled grinningly, and continued: "I almost forgot the business. This is for you. You asked me to look it up. All the information is here. About the kidnapping of Mr. Morgan and the The information about his parents is here."

After hearing what Dave said, Kevin frowned, and then asked: "Those people, didn't they die at that time?"

"It is true that they are dead, but Mr. Wolfe said that it is necessary to investigate those people carefully to know who is behind them."

While Dave was talking to Kevin, Marcus was flipping through the materials Dave brought.A minute or two later, Marcus asked, "Isn't one of these people able to determine the state of death?"

"One is certain. Richard Wilson, he's alive but in jail. The rest are unclear and where they are now, all I can find is months The place where they last appeared before."

Marcus continued to look at the information, and said while reading: "Okay. You have worked hard, so let's work and live well. I will give you the salary in a few days, and it is not a lot."

"I don't do things for you for money...I..."

"Dave, you've seen it too. So, I'm sure you'll meet someone who suits you and likes you."

Hearing what Marcus said, Dave clenched his fists, but then he sighed and let go of his fists, "I know. When I first found out that you had someone, I was very angry and annoyed, and I was also curious about what kind of person you looked at .When I learned a lot about him, I realized that I was simply wishful thinking. Kevin Morgan is too good, and he is at a height that I can't match." Dave spoke as if talking to himself , After saying this, Dave turned to look at Kevin, and said to him: "Marcus is a very good person, but he is duplicity. I hope you can treat him well."

What Dave said suddenly shocked Kevin, and he didn't know how to answer.Answering yes and treating Marcus well may seem perfunctory, but what else can I answer, and I can't think of it, so Kevin just nodded.

"Kevin, let's see off the guests." Marcus gave the order to evict the guests.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality, thank you."

After Dave left, Marcus cleaned up the bowls and chopsticks, and looked at the thin documents with only a few sheets of paper.

"What are you going to do next?" Kevin asked softly.

Marcus didn't answer right away. After a while, Marcus put down the paper and looked up at Kevin. "The international police will take care of it, as long as you get something out."

"Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha or borrowing a knife to kill?"

"Haha, I'm afraid this is borrowing flowers to offer Buddha. They helped me before, so it's repaying the favor."

"Are you officially going to class tomorrow?" Marcus asked again.

"next Monday."

"Didn't you say that I always have a sum of money from the United States? Do you want to do something with me tomorrow, so that you know how the money came from?"
