Armed SWAT

Kevin has lived in GA thoroughly since that day.

Little did he know at the time, Cassandra had been smoking weed for some time.

She was originally a woman with a sensitive heart, a delicate mind, a suspicion of others, and a little neurotic.From the bottom of her heart, she still loves Kevin's father, that young and handsome oriental man, that love turned into guilt in the empty time, every time she sees Kevin's face that resembles her father, Her guilt will emerge from the bottom of her heart like a poisonous snake.

At the same time, she is not satisfied with her current life. Subconsciously, she feels that since she has paid such a huge price, she should get a higher status, a richer life, more prominent glory, and even the title of GA Mistress.

Of course it was impossible to give these Epros to her.The most Epro does is give her money to spend as she pleases.

Sufficient material can easily make people feel empty inside. Cassandra originally had two sons, but Stanley was left in GA and could only see her once a month; Kevin was brought up by Epro himself, basically I don't have much time to spend with my mother.The lonely but rich life made her soul more hungry and thirsty, and she urgently needed spiritual stimulation-so she chose marijuana.

It's a good time, she hasn't really touched meth or heroin yet.

The thing that really destroyed her happened when Kevin was 13 years old.

When Kevin came out of school that day, he unexpectedly saw GA's car parked at the door, and Epro stood by the door, watching him silently.

Kevin actually inherited many of his mother's personality traits, such as being sensitive and introverted, weak and sentimental, and more careful than ordinary people.When he saw Epro's eyes, he stopped subconsciously: "Neil, what happened? Are you unhappy?"

There were people coming and going on the surrounding streets, and Epro just looked at him like that, neither speaking nor smiling, his eyes slightly gloomy.It took him a long time to open his mouth, his voice was very low: "Kevin, your father is dead."

Kevin froze there for a moment.

Epro took a step forward, grabbed his shoulder heavily, and pulled him into his arms forcefully.

"It's okay, Kevin, it's okay... My father died when I was very young. There's no way people who are older than you can go one step ahead..."

"...How did he die?" Kevin asked tremblingly, "Where did he die? What happened?"

Epro looked around: "Let's talk in the car."

He took Kevin into the car, and the window glass slowly rose, immediately blocking the tidal noise from the world.

Deng Kaiwen's father is actually a strange man - he is an oriental martial artist, it is said that his kung fu is extremely powerful, and he is very handsome.Cassandra had many suitors when she was young, but she fell in love at first sight with this young man with no family or money.

Later, when Deng Kaiwen recalled his father, he always felt that his parents loved each other very much.Later, Cassandra's betrayal dealt a heavy blow to him, and he simply left home and wandered around without a fixed place.

Years later, he investigated his father's whereabouts and found that after he ran away from home, he did not leave New York immediately. Instead, he lingered near his home for several months until Cassandra gave birth.After Stanley was born, he went from New York to San Francisco, where he spent two years as a bodyguard, and his life was very monotonous.Later, for unknown reasons, he suddenly left San Francisco and began to wander around, doing odd jobs, and slowly moved from the east to Los Angeles in the west.

Afterward investigation revealed that in the last few years of his life, he lived incognito in the west and used many false names when working.There is no evidence to test how he lived during that time, and it must have been very bad.

As for his death, it was a complete accident, at least according to the data, everything seemed to be an accident.When he went to the bank one day, he encountered a group of anti-social elements. They planted a bomb in the bank building. Dozens of people including him failed to escape in time, and finally died as the bank building exploded.The news was such a sensation in the United States that newspapers published the names of all the victims, and that was how the news of his death reached New York.

When Kevin knew about it, he couldn't shed a single tear.

He just felt very uncomfortable in his heart, as if he had lost something important, but he couldn't cry at all.His eyes were watery, his throat was uncomfortably choked, and he was in a trance, as if he was having a nightmare.

Instead of taking him back to GA, Epro sent him to Cassandra.

When the car stopped at the gate of the villa, he saw Cassandra standing in front of the gate crying bitterly, and several people who reported the news were supporting her and comforting her in a low voice.

He quickly ran out of the car and called Mommy, Cassandra stretched out her hand from the crowd and hugged him tightly.

That was actually the first time Kevin was hugged so tightly by his mother after his father ran away from home.

"Mummy, you still have me, you still have me." Kevin comforted his mother awkwardly and awkwardly, "Don't cry, don't be sad, you still have me."

Cassandra was crying and almost collapsed. She couldn't stand steadily, and her whole body weight was on her son, almost knocking Kevin down.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry..." She repeated nervously in tears, "Why, why!...I'm so sorry!..."

Kevin felt that his mother was pinching his shoulders. His expression changed due to the pain, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.

Cassandra ended up crying throughout the day, only to fall asleep under the effect of sleeping pills at night.

She didn't think of comforting her son. From the beginning to the end, she only thought of losing her lover, but she didn't think of her son losing his father.

Kevin has been with his mother all the time. He feels very uncomfortable, but he can't vent it.It wasn't until Cassandra fell asleep at night and he fell silent alone that the pain and despair spread from his heart little by little, gnawing at his heart like fine sharp teeth.

He hadn't seen his father since he was seven years old.

The moment his father turned his head that morning was like a yellowed black-and-white photo, which has been etched in his memory forever.

Kevin sat upstairs for a while, looking at his mother's sleeping face, and suddenly felt so bored and terrified that he couldn't even stay in the same room with her.He ran down the stairs quickly, just about to rush out of the gate, when he suddenly stopped: "Neil?"

Epro hadn't left yet, and was sitting in front of the fireplace by the dining table.

"Would you like something to drink?" He shook the porcelain cup in his hand: "Let's have some coffee."

Kevin walked over slowly, let Epro pour a glass of freshly brewed Irish, and then forced the glass into his hand.

"My father passed away when I was ten years old," Epro took a sip of coffee and said in a low voice, "I had no impression of him before that. Like Stanley, I was brought up by the board of directors." .I have never had dinner with him, and the words we have spoken in the past ten years are probably less than a hundred sentences."

Kevin said "hmm" to show that he was listening, and tears flowed down his cheeks silently.

"What I mean is that many people have such and such shortcomings, but life is always fair. If you have something less than others, there will naturally be other things to compensate you." Eppro paused, and then said: "For example, I took power very early. When I was spending a lot of money supporting the mayoral election in New York, those peers were still in high school."

"...I'd rather have my dad," Kevin whispered, "I'd rather have no money at home, go out to work early, and even have no food...but I really love them," he tried to suppress, his voice But still with a trembling cry: "——my parents."

Epro leaned over his body and looked at Kevin at close range, as if a little unexpected: "You don't look like that kind of weak child."

Kevin shook his head vigorously, unable to speak a word due to sobs.

"Are you dissatisfied with your current life? Even without your father, your life has not been affected at all, has it?"

"...No, it's different...you don't understand, it's different!"

"But I heard he left you very early, didn't you? He hasn't been responsible since you were seven years old, right?"

"That's different!" Kevin finally cried, "Even so, I still love him, he's my dad!"

Epro stopped talking, stared at Kevin quietly, sighed after a while, and patted the boy's delicate side face.

Tears instantly soaked his palm, and there was a slight tickle.

He looked at the child and said in his heart that it is true that you love him, so do you love me?

Kevin is 13 years old this year, and his father took up seven years of memory in his life, while Epro took over the rest of the time.Calculating and looking at the time is almost equal. If the one or two years of infancy without memory are removed, then the biological father and adoptive father should occupy exactly the same amount of time.

Even if the relationship between father and son cannot be measured by time, what about emotional investment?There is always a difference in emotion, right?

He looked at the weeping young man, his side face was completely bloodless in the light of the fire, as delicate and clean as white jade.He sighed inwardly, feeling a little melancholy rarely.

After all, you are someone's son, no matter how much you put in your feelings, they won't regard you as your biological father.

Now that the child is young, he can be regarded as half a father and son.What about growing up?What is it when you grow up?

As he thought about it, he didn't feel it at the time, but subconsciously, it was a little different from before.From that day on, the way he looked at Kevin changed slightly.

It's just that Epro and Kevin didn't expect to go to that aspect many years later.Life is still going on, and people have to come out of grief and continue to live an ordinary but normal life day after day.

That night Kevin fell asleep while sitting by the fireplace. He wondered afterwards how coffee could make people fall asleep. It was not until a long time later that he found out that Epro had put medicine in the coffee early in the morning.

Maybe it was because he was too exhausted. He slept for a whole day and night, and was already in GA when he woke up.It is said that Cassandra was not at home and went to Los Angeles to attend the funeral temporarily, and did not think of taking her eldest son with her.

At the time, that incident had little effect on the relationship between Epro and Kevin.

The only thing that has changed dramatically is Cassandra.
