Chapter 125 Believe in Love Luo (25 please subscribe)
Three days ago in the afternoon?

When Locke heard this time point, he suddenly remembered that when he was at home, old Underwood seemed to have mentioned that he had met Gideon Malik three days ago.

So... the call that Alexander Pierce received at that time was from Gideon Malik?
Seeing that things were hopeless, I chose plan B.

Is Hydra really planning to abandon Nick Fury and invest in him instead?
but……

why?

Locke still couldn't figure it out. Even after he left the Sentinel Headquarters behind him and returned to the car, he still couldn't figure it out.

God is my witness, he dragged Esme to the Sentinel headquarters just because he didn't want to waste too many brain cells on this issue.

Rule four: Trust the wisdom of future generations.

He can’t figure it out now, so he doesn’t think about it anymore and lets Locke worry about it in the future.

He dragged Esme to the Sentinel Headquarters mainly to relax and change his mind.

Another reason was to give Esme reassurance with practical actions.

You are my legal wife, and you are the only one who accompanies me in public.

result……

Back to this question again.

"Honey." After restarting the car, Locke looked at Esme beside him and said, "How about you help me think about it?"

"Didn't I give you advice?" Esme put down the file in her hand and looked at Locke who was asking her for help: "Won't you know after meeting him? Didn't you say you are very smart?"

Speaking of it.

Esme paused suddenly, then seemed to have thought of something and looked at Locke suspiciously again.

"My dear, you don't really want to get my permission in this way, do you?"

"How is that possible? I just don't like this feeling."

This feels bad.

he does not like.

A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. This is Locke's consistent principle.

This is also the reason why he never charged into battle with the special forces before, but instead brought Debbie and Jack to provide support downstairs.

If he is given enough time, he can become a god, or even a super god.

and so……

What are you playing with?

Lu Ke said in a dark tone: "What if the other party wants to trick me in this way and then kill me?"

Well known.

In the Federation, conflicts can sometimes be resolved by eliminating the victims.

Although this possibility is very low.

but……

What if?
Locke didn't dare to gamble with Hydra's conscience.

Moreover, facts have proved that Hydra has no conscience at all.

Although he was not afraid that Hydra would actually do so, he hated trouble.

At least before he returned to New York City and came into contact with the mutant laboratory, he was reluctant to get into any other trouble.

As for this Nick Fury thing?

It's all personal grudges!
Esme was a little surprised when she heard this.

"No way."

"Why not?"

"Isn't she your ex-girlfriend?"

"You already said she was my ex-girlfriend."

It is not uncommon for girlfriends to kill their boyfriends, and there are even wives who cook their husbands' ashes and mix them with rice.

An ex-girlfriend, what's that?

Locke analyzed the situation calmly.

He is not love-brained.

As for Stephanie Malick, she is definitely not in love.

In a way, Stephanie is the same type of person as his mother Claire.

They all like power.

And the way these two people pursue power is almost the same.

They all like to gain power by conquering men!
In fact, if Stephanie had not been so eager for her husband to become a snake, according to the plan, Stephanie would not have returned to take over the family business. Instead, she would have entered the official career with the help of old Underwood because of the marriage relationship.

Anywhere, any country, money is always inferior to power.

The Federation is no exception.

Here, money may be able to accomplish 99% of things, but for the remaining 1%, only power can do it.

pity!

Stephanie was determined to make her husband a snake and tie him up on the big ship of Hydra.

What can Locke do?

Back then, he was just an ordinary person with no mutations and no money to spend.

Again.

If he didn't know about Hydra, everything would be easy. Even if Hydra exploded in the future, he could protect himself and Stephanie at the same time.

But if he knew, that would be a different matter.

Esme was speechless after hearing Locke's tone.

"Aren't you suffering from paranoia?"

"Just tell me if there is such a possibility."

Locke did not refute, but asked Esme instead.

A one in ten thousand chance, but it's still possible.

Esme opened her mouth, then shook her head speechlessly, looked at Locke, and sighed.

"So you really don't have any thoughts about your ex-girlfriend?"

"Yes, I have."

"Ok?"

Locke looked at Esme, whose eyebrows suddenly raised, and quickly added: "But I have your tacit consent, dear."

Esme didn't say anything, but just turned her head to the side and looked at Locke quietly with her slightly blue eyes.

Locke, who was driving, felt a little nervous.

after awhile.

Esme retracted her gaze and said calmly, "I have an idea."

"any solution."

"How about when you ask your ex-girlfriend out for a date, I'll go with you. It just so happens that I also want to see what your ex-girlfriend is like that makes you miss her so much."

Esme gave her advice.

Although she couldn't figure this out.

But she didn't need to figure it out, she could tell what the other person was thinking just by looking at him. Unlike the man in front of her.

He is still so mysterious even after getting married, and you can't tell what he really thinks.

Esme thought to herself.

Locke's eyes lit up when he heard Esme's suggestion.

But he gave up the next second.

The suggestion is a good one, but it's simply not going to work.

"Do you think that's possible?"

"why not?"

"If you take your wife to see your ex-girlfriend, do you think she will come out?"

"……Right."

Esme thought about it and looked at Locke: "But, you don't have to tell her that I will go anyway."

Locke shook his head.

"No, I never lie."

"what!"

Esme laughed subconsciously, and laughed happily.

Locke listened to Esme's laughter from the bottom of her heart, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "Your laughter makes me feel like I'm an unforgivable liar."

Esme tried to suppress the uncontrollable upward curve of her lips and looked at Locke with her face sideways.

"You don't want to lie to her."

"That's it."

Locke glanced at Esme and did not choose to lie. Instead, he said frankly: "I never lie about love. Honey, you don't want me to stop being honest with you one day because of other things."

Even though he had Esme, he still thought about Natasha Romanoff, and even Queen K Katherine, and now he was still thinking about his ex-girlfriend Stephanie.

but……

This is entirely because he believes in love.

The most important thing.

No matter what, Stephanie Malick is not only his ex-girlfriend, but also his first love in this life.

Damn Fuck.

Look at you, you are doing well, why do you have to wait for your husband to become a snake?

Locke still feels speechless when he thinks of the scene when Stephanie wanted to confront him.

If Stephanie had delayed until his system was activated, he would definitely not have been so resistant.

It is even possible that Locke would come on board right away.

It must be said that although Hydra is not a good person, it is really good to its own people.

Unfortunately, time cannot be turned back.

Esme curled her lips when she heard Locke's words.

"You don't bother to lie, but your ex-girlfriend might have lied."

"Then there's nothing more to say."

"How to say?"

"What to do, what to do."

Locke suddenly understood something, blinked, looked at Esme, and said with a smile: "Thank you, dear."

Esme glanced at Locke who took out his phone from his pocket after saying this: "Do you have her phone number saved?"

Locke dialed the number and answered without thinking.

"No, I remember."

"What's my phone number?"

"Your electricity..."

Locke's expression changed and he looked at Esme.

Esme tilted her head and looked at Locke with a half-smile: "Honey, you wouldn't forget my number, would you?"

Locke swallowed.

at this time.

The outgoing call was connected.

Locke breathed a sigh of relief and gestured to Esme with the phone in his hand.

Esme took the phone directly, turned on the speakerphone, put it in the palm of her hand, and looked at Locke without blinking.

A female voice came from the phone that sounded three parts surprised, three parts delighted, three parts unbelievable and one part frightened.

"Locke?"

"...Stephanie."

Locke first glanced at his beloved wife who was holding her phone. She looked weak and unable to take care of herself, but when she got angry, she could make you commit suicide. Then he calmed down and said, "I'm back in Washington. Are you free these two days? I haven't seen you for a long time."

Stephanie was silent for a while on the other end of the phone.

Seeing this, Locke did not ask any further questions.

after awhile.

"Okay, the same place? I'm free on the afternoon of the 28th."

"it is good."

After Locke finished speaking, he thought about grabbing the phone and hanging up the call.

at this time.

Stephanie's voice came through the phone again.

"Locke."

"Ah."

"Little Cave, I miss you so much. See you then."

Locke's name originated from Medieval English, in which Locke's name meant "a small cave" or "a secluded residence".

Little Cave is a nickname for Locke.

This happened after his mother Claire called him that once and Stephanie heard it. Then, in certain situations, Stephanie also learned to call him that.

As soon as this nickname came out.

Locke could clearly feel a strong murderous aura coming from the co-pilot seat.

But it quickly disappeared.

Locke glanced at his wife who looked as usual, said seriously, "See you later," then quickly snatched back the phone and hung up.

next second.

He then heard the voice of his beloved wife Esme.

"A small cave."

"what!"

"..."
