Chapter 127 Locke: I am gay? How come I don’t know? (45 please subscribe)
But things regarding Nick Fury and Locke are under control very well.

Everyone who should know knows.

People who shouldn't know will definitely not know.

Whether it was Locke or old Underwood, they all tacitly agreed not to mention this matter to Claire.

Locke was confident that he could handle this matter.

The day Nick Fury stepped down was the day this one-eyed black slave died.

As long as he moved fast enough, he was confident that Nick Fury would never have the chance to use the pager that he had always treated as a treasure.

As for why old Underwood didn't say anything.

Very simple.

He is confident that he can handle the problem when Locke can't.

Don't underestimate the means and ruthlessness of this person, who came from a humble background but relied on his own efforts to rise to the position of Majority Whip of the House of Representatives.

Of course.

That's why Old Underwood got beaten up.

Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs.

but……

Old Underwood's character is much stronger than Tiger's.

So, when mother Claire saw that Frank was planning to target his son, who else would be furious if not Frank?

but!

Rather than comforting old Underwood's wounded heart, Locke was more curious about what his mother Claire was doing when she dragged his beloved wife to the back garden.

In the back garden.

No matter how Esme looked at it, she felt that this back garden didn't look like a back garden.

Because there are only a few flowers in total.

All in all, there are only about seven or eight flowers in the huge back garden.

And at a glance, it is clear that the owner of these flowers probably has not taken good care of them.

Mother Claire did not take Esme to appreciate the flowers. Instead, after coming out, she sat down on the lounge chair in the corridor.

"Did Locke tell you about Stephanie?"

"……Yes."

"I don't know about this."

Mother Claire looked at Esme seriously and expressed her attitude: "I don't agree with this..."

Esme didn't wait for her mother Claire to finish her words and interrupted with a smile, "I already agreed."

Claire was stunned for a moment, then looked seriously at the expression on Esme's face.

Esme's expression remained unchanged.

"Locke told me when he came down. There are no secrets between Locke and me."

"……Yeah?"

Claire listened to Esme's explanation and was a little skeptical.

Esme smiled slightly and looked at Claire: "In fact, Locke didn't want to go. It was me who suggested that Locke meet with Ms. Stephanie Malik before talking about it."

Claire felt like she wasn't very good at speaking anymore.

Good guy.

She knew that young people in Washington had a lot of fun, but she was always grateful that her son knew how to keep himself clean and never went along with the second generation of the powerful in Washington.

When he was living in South Carolina, Locke loved listening to his grandfather tell stories about the glory days of the plantation in the past.

After moving to Washington, Locke simply stayed at home.

At that time, Claire once suspected that Locke was depressed. It was not until he saw a psychologist three times that she finally confirmed that Locke was not depressed, he just simply didn't want to go out and play.

But how could they stay at school and at home all day, so Claire and Frank came up with a solution together.

You don’t like going out, okay? Well, we will force you to go out.

This is the origin of the story that the two men were so busy with work that they couldn't take care of Locke's lunch and let him go out to find food on his own.

Locke wanted to order takeout at the time, but the two of them had good excuses.

As the son of a congressman, how can you order takeout all day? What if those tabloid reporters in Washington report it falsely?

Locke thought about it and felt that it made sense.

This is why when he lived in Washington, D.C., he would go around Washington, D.C. looking for delicious food every day at noon.

The two were quite happy as they watched Locke walk out of the house.

As a young person, there is nothing wrong with liking reading, but you can’t just like reading, you also need to know how to socialize.

So during the holidays, Claire always dragged Locke to socialize with him.

She was just afraid that Locke would become a nerd who only knew how to study.

But for now.

She was a little bewildered.

When his son told his daughter-in-law, his father rushed to find a mistress for his son.

As a result, the daughter-in-law was not angry, but even comforted her, saying, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, your son didn't really want to go, and I was the one who took the initiative to suggest that he go."

Claire looked at the smiling Esme, her thoughts racing, and then she thought of a possibility.

"that……"

Claire frowned, lowered her voice, and asked carefully: "You and Locke, are you in a same-sex marriage?"

Esme's gaze gradually widened as she heard this, and she looked at Claire with wide eyes.

"what?"

"The meaning of same-sex marriage..."

"I know what this means, Claire."

Esme interrupted again, then looked at Claire with amusement: "I just didn't expect you to say that."

Claire shook her head speechlessly.

Why else.

I have doubted it before.

After all, every kid has had a relationship in high school.

The results of it?
Other students went in pairs during the homecoming dance, and some even rented luxury cars to pick up their female companions.

But what about Locke?

He went, but it would have been better if he hadn't gone. Locke went with another man who didn't have a female companion that day, and they even won the king and queen of the ball.

Only God knows how terrible Claire felt when she heard the news.

In other words, Locke started dating Stephanie after he went to college, otherwise Claire would really suspect that Locke had a problem with his sexual orientation.

But then the two broke up again, and she heard that it was Stephanie who took the initiative to break up, which made Claire worried again.

She wondered if Locke was using Stephanie as a cover to shield his true love.

Later, Locke suddenly got married, which actually increased Claire's suspicion.

but……

After she knew Esme was pregnant, her doubts disappeared again, but when she heard Esme say that she had asked Locke to go, her doubts resurfaced.

After all, which wife would take the initiative to let her husband find a mistress outside?

Esme couldn't help laughing as she listened to her mother-in-law Claire's stories about Locke's high school dance.

"Prom King and Prom Queen, is that true or not?"

"of course it's true."

Claire vouched for her statement, then looked at the expression on Esme's face: "So, Locke is really not?"

Esme looked at Claire with a funny expression: "Claire, you can rest assured about this. No one is straighter than him."

Well known.

Locke has two big secrets that she knows but no one else knows.

The first is that Locke hates black people.

Of course.

Except for dead things.

The second is that when Locke was in the apartment, the two of them huddled on the sofa watching the various correct news reported on TV and all kinds of straight men made remarks.

Again.

Others may not know whether Locke is straight or not, but how could she not know?
In a word.

straight!
Very straight!

Claire became even more confused after hearing Esme's firm assurance.

"Then why did you..."

"Because my last name is Underwood, too, Claire."

Esme looked at Claire with a smile and gave her answer: "When Locke is good, I am good, and the better Underwood is, the better Locke is, and the better I am, isn't it?"

Claire listened to Esme's explanation without saying anything, but just looked at Esme quietly.

after awhile.

Claire looked at Esme and smiled sincerely with satisfaction towards her daughter-in-law.

"You're very smart, Esme. I heard from Locke that your family is from Boston?"

"Yes."

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"I have two younger sisters."

"Two, have you seen Locke?"

"of course."

Esme said with a smile, then looked at Claire who wanted to continue asking, and changed the subject very smoothly: "Actually, the most important thing is that I believe in Locke, and Locke has promised me."

Claire heard this and looked at Esme, feeling a little curious.

"Oh, he gave you some promise."

"Locke said that he married me willingly and that he never regretted marrying me."

"I can see it."

Claire thought of the scene just now when she was in the room, watching Locke and Esme getting out of the car.

Esme was walking in front, while Locke was half a body length behind and was trying to please Esme.

obviously.

His own son cares a lot about the daughter-in-law he found for him.

This is also the reason why Claire dragged Esme here to talk.

When she heard Esme mention the name "small cave", she knew what was going on.

After all, there are only three people who know Locke's nickname.

She, Frank, and Stephanie.

And when Esme said this nickname, it was in a joking tone, so it was easy to guess what happened.

But she felt that she had guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

But there is one more thing she needs to confirm.

Claire looked at Esme seriously: "So, your marriage with Locke is an open one?"

Esme smiled at this.

"You mean I acquiesced to Locke, and Locke acquiesced to me?"

"you know what I mean."

"certainly……"

"No."

Seeing that Claire had no intention of joking at all, Esme put away her smile and looked at Claire seriously.

"Locke is a very hypocritical person. I am sure that if I did this, he would never forgive me."

"So, it's not."

The reason why she acquiesced to Locke was actually very simple.

Because she started it.

but……

We three sisters have changed so many times, but this guy seems to have not noticed it yet.

So just in case, Esme thought it would be better to be magnanimous rather than being exposed.

Anyway, the three sisters are of one mind.

In the future, no matter what kind of slut Locke finds, the three Phantom Cuckoo sisters will be able to kill them!
