Chapter 121: The value of the queen is explosive! (35 please subscribe)
Locke, who was just about to explain to his wife Esme why he didn't like to go back to his lover, was suddenly stunned. Then he reacted and looked down at Esme.
Eyes facing each other.
Esme smiled slightly, "Does it look good?"
"Of course, in my heart, you will always be the most beautiful." Locke came back to his senses, his tone and expression were extremely firm.
Any man would think that the wife they marry willingly is the most beautiful and pretty in the world.
Locke is no exception.
What's more, Esme's appearance is just like that.
But that's not the point.
Locke shook his head.
"what did you just say?"
"You heard what I said."
Esme got up from Locke's arms again, then tilted her head with a smile on her lips: "Dear, I told you before that I don't mind you going out for a snack after having a full meal at home, because I know that snacks will never replace the main meal, right?"
Locke nodded without any hesitation: "Of course."
Snacks can satisfy your cravings, but they can never be a main meal.
Locke thought about it in his mind, but was still a little unsure, and looked at Esme suspiciously.
"So, honey, you mean to say that you agree with old Underwood's approach?"
"hehe."
Esme laughed, then looked at Locke with a half-smile: "Don't push your luck, dear."
Simply put.
Don't be so ungrateful after getting an advantage.
I agree that you can find a young girl outside, that's fine, as long as you don't bring her back to me.
But if you want me to nod my head and support you in doing this, then you are just dreaming.
This is what Esme wanted to say.
Locke also understood, met Esme's gaze, nodded, and said in a very serious tone, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
Esme was very satisfied with Locke's answer and speed. After smiling, she lay back in Locke's arms and said, "So, why not? Do I need to worry about this snack replacing the main course?"
Locke lowered his head and kissed Esme's forehead, "I already have the main meal, and no snack can replace it. You have my promise, Mrs. Esme Underwood."
this moment.
The value of the Queen continues to rise.
Have a look.
What is the Queen's Special Concession?
This is.
only……
Although he once again received the Queen's special permission, his brows were still furrowed.
Esme raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Any question?"
"Have."
Locke took a deep breath and looked at Esme: "Stephanie is different from Natasha."
Esme raised an eyebrow.
"Natasha? Is that the red-haired lady's name?"
"……Yes."
Esme nodded, wrote down the name, and then asked curiously, "What's the difference?"
She felt it was all the same.
After all, she is the wife, and the others are concubines. From their perspective, they are at most favored concubines.
But the beloved concubine is also a concubine, and she will always be the queen.
Locke lowered his eyes and looked at Esme in his arms: "Do you want to hear the truth, dear?"
Esme didn't answer, but smiled slightly, then placed her right hand on Locke's chest and held it tightly.
"You can just say it, but your heart will tell me whether you are telling the truth or a lie. Friendly reminder, my intuition is very accurate, dear."
"I know. You always say that."
"But you never seemed to believe it, did you?"
"No, I believe you, dear."
Locke said with a smile.
If he didn't believe Esme, he wouldn't have honestly told her that Old De had found a mistress for him when Esme asked him what happened when he went downstairs just now.
Because Esme will find out about this sooner or later.
Instead of passively defending, it is better to take the initiative.
Locke then briefly told Esme about the conversation he had just had with Old D in the study, then frowned and said, "I don't understand why Gideon Malik did this."
Esme thought about it.
"I'm optimistic about you and I want to invest in you. Didn't you say that Malik is a top investor in Washington?"
“But the cost is too high.”
If he wasn't married, it would be fine if Gideon Malick promised him to marry Stephanie Malick.
After all, she's going to be a wife, not like now.
How to say it.
This gave Locke a feeling.
Gideon Malik seemed to know better than him how bright his future would be, so even being a concubine would be worth it.
But Locke himself doesn't know what kind of future he will have.
Although he already has a clear plan for his future.
Super God.
But the road to becoming a god is long and arduous!
Locke's mind moved, and he summoned his current panel.
He first glanced at the extraordinary points whose prompt sound had been blocked.
The extraordinary points at this moment have reached 620.
Locke checked the system log and found that the most recent prompt occurred half an hour ago.
obviously.
Blade has finished work and gone home.
Locke then looked at his current character attributes.
"Become a god!"
"Super Card Slot: "2 (The third card slot can be opened by consuming 400 Super Points)"
『Super Points: 620』『First Slot: Bloodline』
"Ability level: "Elementary (consume 1000 points to upgrade)"
『Ability effects: (Eternal Life), (Immortality), (Pond of Blood)』
『Ability defect: "None"』
『Second Slot: “Disguise”』
"Ability level: "Elementary (consume 1000 points to upgrade)"
『Ability effect: "(Change), (Memory Copy), (Simulation)"』
『Ability flaws: "(God's affiliation: You are under the watchful eye of the gods), (Level suppression: Your abilities become ineffective against higher levels)"』
obviously.
As his life level underwent a qualitative change, his demand for extraordinary points became greater and greater.
Fortunately, he now has a power player.
Vampire hunter, blade warrior.
Even though he is going back to Washington to celebrate Christmas, Blade is still in New York City, helping him earn these extraordinary points remotely like a hardworking little bee.
And with the successful formation of his super god team, there will be more people who can remotely train for him in the future.
but……
It takes time.
Well known.
A genius who has grown up is called a genius, but a genius who is still in development may die at any time.
Locke is still in the developmental stage and is far from being able to say a word.
Who can grant me death?
and so.
Locke never aims too high. Even though he now has a certain ability to protect himself, he still doesn't dare to declare that his future will be brilliant.
Therefore, he was not sure that his future was destined to be brilliant. He could not say that Gideon Malik knew himself better than himself.
No reason.
As Locke thought about it, he lowered his head and smelled Esme's hair, then expressed his confusion.
Gideon Malick adores Stephanie Malick.
Because just like Locke is the only son of the Underwood family, Stephanie is also the only daughter of Gideon Malick.
But just as Locke doesn't know whether old Underwood has an illegitimate child outside.
He also didn't know whether Gideon Malik had any illegitimate children outside.
but……
Stephanie was favored, there was no doubt about that.
Even though he and Stephanie had no contact after breaking up, he knew that Stephanie had joined the Malik Family Group and held an important position after graduation.
People have to throw more than others.
Locke, who also graduated from Harvard, worked as a junior operative for at least three months.
But as soon as Stephanie graduated, she took the position of assistant to the chairman in the family group.
Especially half a year ago, Stephanie obtained authorization from Gideon Malik and began to handle all matters of the group on his behalf.
This move is obviously intended to train Stephanie to become Malik's family heir.
Because of this, this matter becomes even more bizarre.
Because from common sense, since Gideon Malik sees Stephanie as his successor, he would not do such a thing. Although the private lives of the powerful in Washington are disgusting and dirty, they will still maintain the fig leaf and tacit rules on the surface, and they can even be said to be conservative.
And among the rules they maintain is this one.
An illegitimate child cannot be shown in public.
Getting pregnant before marriage is even more unbearable.
Could it be that Gideon Malick has gone crazy studying beehives?
Or is there something I don't know about?
You can't say that Gideon Malik is a genius and he saw that I had a bright future, so he came forward.
Locke thought the idea was ridiculous.
After listening to Locke's story, Esme became curious: "Now that you mention it, there is indeed something wrong."
Locke smiled.
“So I wonder what the reason is.”
"Have you thought about it?"
"No."
"Then don't think about it."
"Ok?"
Locke looked at Esme who stood up and raised his eyebrows.
Esme shrugged and said, "We'll know once we meet."
Locke just laughed out loud.
"Is that what you're suggesting?"
"of course."
Esme said, "Didn't you say that this was Gideon Malik's suggestion? What if Stephanie never thought of rekindling the old relationship with you, and you were just wishful thinking?"
After saying that, Esme winked at Locke.
"You're not really still in love with her, are you?"
"How can it be."
Locke shook his head decisively, but just as he was about to continue speaking, the phone in his arms rang.
Locke took out his phone and took a look.
Chief Andrew's.
The call is connected.
after awhile.
Locke hung up the phone and looked at his wife Esme.
Esme met Locke's gaze.
"what happened?"
"Do you want to visit the Washington Sentinel headquarters?"
Esme's eyes widened. "Huh?"
Locke smiled and said, "Director Andrew asked me to go to the Sentinel headquarters for a cup of coffee this afternoon. Can you accompany me?"
Esme: “…”
