I love you, I won't kill you

Victoria wanted to continue making some jokes, but then she looked at Vincent who was wearing a long-sleeved khaki Marine Corps shirt, with the rank of major in the Marine Corps on both sides of the neckline.

Glancing at Amanda who was going to get a drink, she quickly said to the computer screen, "I'm sorry, Major! Just now... I didn't mean it."

"It's okay, now is your rest time. Uh, you are Navy Ensign Victoria Cranston?! Nice to meet you!"

"Thank you, sir. Nice to meet you too."

Amanda walked to the desk with a bottle of "Dr. Pepper" and said nonchalantly to the screen, "Okay, Vincent, it's time for you to get off work."

Vincent showed a caring smile, "Okay, I'll give you her phone number later. Uh... As for what you want to talk to her, that's your business."

Then, he said to Victoria, "Second Lieutenant, do you suspect that I am Amanda's chief?"

"No! Uh, yes. Since you also said it's break time, then..."

"Hehehe, Amanda is my sister. Why, didn't she mention me to you?"

Victoria smiled easily, "No, Major."

Vincent put his arms on the table and said seriously to Amanda, "Well, good luck to you. If you are in a bad mood, don't make fun of the Navy's plane!"

Amanda glared at Vincent deliberately, "Okay, I'm offline." After speaking, she cut off the remote video connection.

Victoria took a sip from the drink bottle, stared at Amanda and said, "What he said is true? Amanda, why haven't I heard you mention that there is a brother who is a major?"

"Really! I swear to God, will this do?"

"Hmph, I don't know. Maybe, I should see your performance."

"Hehehe, performance? What do you want from me?"

"Uh, I haven't figured it out yet, didn't I say it's not now?"

Amanda shook her head and said with a smile, "Okay, I see. Let's go to dinner."

Victoria showed a weird smile, and asked as she walked towards the door, "By the way, the major said to give you her phone number. Can I ask, who is she?"

After closing the door of the dormitory, the two walked side by side in the corridor.Amanda sighed softly and said, "Remember, what we talked about about Mother's Day just now?"

"Hmm. Oh, so your brother was talking about her!? I'm sorry, Amanda, I didn't mean to inquire about your privacy."

"Heh, that's okay. It's just...will the base fly the flag in front of every building?"

Victoria looked at her in disbelief, "God! Amanda, don't you ever experience Mother's Day?"

Amanda replied softly, "No! It's just that every time it's Mother's Day, I choose to forget about her."

"What is the problem between her and her mother that made her choose to forget?" Victoria thought, but did not speak.

"Are you okay? After dinner, let's go to the gym, shall we?" Amanda asked.

"I'm fine. Oh, fine. Uh, to the fitness center at the base or the runway?" Victoria said absently.

....................

After the evening fitness exercise, the two returned to their dormitories.Amanda stood under the shower head in the bathroom, motionless, letting the hot water wash over her enviable body.With his right hand propped on the wall, he lowered his head and said to himself, "How can I tell her? Ever since I was a child, I have almost never talked to her."

"Damn it, Vincent. Just give me a number and don't call for me."

"Hi Mom, how are you? FK! I never said that."

"Excuse me, are you Mrs. Balfour? It sounds like a fucking secretary who slept with a congressman."

All kinds of good and bad, emotional and bland opening remarks, Amanda almost tried them all while standing under the nozzle.When she finally got out of the shower, she still couldn't make up her mind what to say.

Wears boxer shorts and a tank top.Standing at the window gazing at the Florida night outside the window.Amanda looked back at the phone on the table, shook her head and picked it up.

After dialing the woman's number, Amanda felt more nervous than when she first drove the T-6A. "Beep...beep...beep..." After three busy tones that no one answered, she only had one thought, "Hang up now!"

Just when she was about to press the end button, she heard a very strange voice from the receiver, "Hello! Who is it?"

"I... I'm Lieutenant McLaren of the Marine Corps, are you Mrs. Balfour?"

"Yes, I am. Lieutenant McLaren? Oh my God! Amanda, my boy!!"

Grace Wilkinson Balfour had just returned home from a high-society charity dinner when the phone rang.Looking at the strange caller number displayed on the phone, she hesitated, "Personal call? Who is calling?"

While walking upstairs to the bedroom while answering the phone, she did not expect that the call would be from Amanda, whom she had missed for a long time.In an instant, Grace was so excited that she didn't know what to say, and threw the Hermes handbag on the bed.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling curtains with a phone in hand, "My child, you...you..."

Amanda listened to Grace's stammering voice, but she didn't know what to say in the next second sentence.Shaking his head vigorously, he said with a wink, "You know, maybe I shouldn't be calling. But it's...Mother's Day, you know?"

When Grace heard Amanda's voice again, tears fell unconsciously, "I know, I know, my child. Thank you, thank you for calling, really!"

"Happy holidays to you! Sorry if you wanted me to speak to you in person! I'm in Florida right now and don't have much time."

"My child, it's all right. As long as I can hear your voice, I'm very satisfied."

"Really? But, you are the strangest relative to me, aren't you?"

"Sorry sweetheart, I'm sorry for what I did to you."

Amanda lay on the bed with the phone in hand and said, "Really? So, what did you do to me?"

Grace sat on a chair at one side of the room and said softly, "My sweetheart, I... I'm sorry! When you graduate from Whitingfield in the future, I will find an appropriate opportunity to talk to you .”

"How do you know where I am? Who told you? Was it Vincent?" Amanda suddenly sat up from the bed and asked.

"My boy, I've been following you since you entered Marine Corps School in Quantico," Grace replied softly.

"Why? Why do you pay attention to my extra child?"

"No! Son, I love you so much! You just have to remember that."

After a few seconds, Amanda recovered her calm attitude and said, "In this world, you are not the only one who loves me! If you want me to remember the love of my relatives, I am willing to remember Daddy's love, Vincent's love And Billy's!"

When Grace heard Amanda's answer like this, her heart was about to break.After a few seconds of silence, he smiled and said, "Son, I can understand the facts you said. Well, it seems that today's atmosphere is not suitable for further discussions. You should rest earlier."

Amanda didn't say anything, just hung up the phone without a word.Throwing the phone on the bed casually, staring up at the ceiling, "Damn it, why did she say these things? If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have made this call."

At this time, the phone rang a text message alert tone.She picked it up and saw that it was a message from Victoria, "Hey, have you called her yet?"

Fingers flying like flying to press the button, Amanda replied, "Yeah, just called. Do you have time?"

"Oh, what did she say? You don't want to sleep?"

"Can't sleep, go to the airport runway with me."
