Chapter 128 The female classmate with a very masculine name (55 please subscribe)
Claire listened to Esme's answer and seemed to have thought of something, and her expression became a little dazed.

After a while.

Claire came back to her senses, looked at Esme, sighed again, and then took Esme's right hand seriously: "Locke chose you to be his Mrs. Underwood, which shows that he really has good vision."

Esme smiled slightly when she heard this, but said nothing.

Again.

She didn't think Locke had good taste.

The point is that the three sisters have been rotated so many times, and it has been almost a year now, but Locke didn't notice anything wrong.

But I want to think about it.

She decided not to tell anyone about this.

It would be better to wait for Locke to discover it himself. By then, his expression will definitely be interesting.

and……

It will be useless even if Locke gets angry at that time.

no way.

Who made her a generous and considerate wife?

Esme thought to herself, and then turned the topic back to Stephanie: "By the way, Claire, Locke and I have been wondering why Malik did this. If Stephanie really still loves Locke, then shouldn't Stephanie have contacted Locke herself?"

Claire's expression returned to seriousness as she listened to Esme's question.

"That's what I thought at first, so after you left, Frank and I kept thinking about this issue."

"Did you think of anything?"

"I have a guess."

After Claire confirmed that Esme, except for her background, perfectly met all her requirements for a future daughter-in-law, she did not hide it from Esme and directly told her and Frank a guess.

Esme's eyes lit up when she heard that.

"What a guess."

"Stephanie really likes Locke, but because she broke up with Locke in college, she is too embarrassed to tell Locke."

"..."

Esme remained silent after listening to Claire's explanation.

Is this because the mother has a filter for her son?

Every mother thinks her son is the best in the world?
but……

Esme caught a key word in Claire's words.

"Her breakup with Locke?"

"Ah."

Claire nodded, then looked at Esme, who had a strange expression on her face: "Why, didn't Locke tell you about this?"

Said.

But he was talking about the breakup between him and Stephanie.

Esme blinked.

Although Locke and Claire's confessions conflicted, and Claire did not lie.

but……

Esme still believed what Locke said.

He was the one who broke up with Stephanie, not the other way around.

The question is, she also thinks that the husband she chose is the best and most outstanding in the world, otherwise why would all the slutty girls out there rush to become his mistress.

But why did it become Stephanie's breakup proposal when it was spread outside?

Esme thought to herself.

then……

At night, after she and Locke washed up and went to bed, she couldn't wait to ask Locke who was standing beside her.

After hearing this, Locke was stunned and looked at Esme with some curiosity.

"So you spent the whole afternoon talking to my mom about this? Asking whether it was me or Stephanie who proposed the breakup?"

“I’m quite curious about this.”

"I mentioned it."

"Then why did it become Stephanie dumping you when it got out there?"

"The reason is simple. Malik is the financial sponsor."

There is something to say.

No matter who you offend, never offend your financial sponsor.

If he had dumped Stephanie, it was obvious that Mr. Gideon Malik, who doted on his daughter, would be furious.

But he certainly wouldn't take his anger out on Locke.

Son and daughter.

Father to father?

Gideon Malick will no doubt take his anger out on Francis Underwood.

But Locke and Stephanie chose to break up only because of their differences in ideas, not because of any other bloody things.

Their breakup was quite amicable.

It was even Stephanie who thought of this matter and suggested that when the time comes, they should tell others that she was the one who dumped Locke.

It has to be said that Stephanie is worthy of being the first woman he wanted to marry in this life.

She is a good woman. Even after hearing Luo Luoke break up with her, she was still thinking about him.

Because she knew how much her father doted on him, she also knew how angry her father would be once the news of Locke breaking up with her got out.

This is why Locke said that he didn't like to go back to his ex, but was struggling with whether to meet Stephanie.

Because he and Stephanie didn't break up for any reason of their own.

Just for some special reasons.

Stephanie looked forward to her husband becoming a snake.

Locke was scared at the time.

So the two separated.

Locke felt that a line from A Chinese Odyssey was the most appropriate way to describe his ill-fated relationship with Stephanie during their college years.

With a tight hoop on, I can’t love you.

Without a tight band, I will protect you accordingly.

But that was Locke two years ago.

at the moment?

So what if it's Hydra? If I want to protect her, I can protect her. Esme listened to Locke's explanation and suddenly understood. Then she nodded, sat on Locke's body and said with a smile: "So you still miss her?"

Locke looked at Esme who was looking down at him and said with a smile: "But I married you willingly."

Esme's lips formed a beautiful smile.

"I know."

"Then you were jealous before."

"If I wasn't jealous, why would Claire keep talking to me for an entire afternoon?"

Esme blinked at Locke, then suddenly remembered something. She widened her eyes and looked at Locke, asking about what Claire had said in the afternoon, the school dance that scared Claire so much that she thought her son was gay.

Locke was stunned for a moment, then looked at Esme with suspicion.

"Who said Hope was a man?"

"Claire."

Esme shrugged, betraying her source once again, and then winked: "Hope, the name sounds very masculine."

Locke's mouth twitched: "But she is a woman, she just always dresses very neutrally, but she is indeed a woman."

Although he had never been interested in campus dances and was too lazy to attend, it was still a graduation dance after all.

Locke felt that if he didn't go, he would regret it when he looked back in the future.

But by the time he wanted to go, it seemed that all the female classmates had been booked.

Just then he saw Hope.

Hope van Dyne.

Although this name, from the last name to the middle name to the first name, looks very much like a boy's name.

But Hope is a woman.

Locke made a promise about it.

So when he arrived at the scene and saw Hope, who was also alone, he decided to team up with him temporarily.

result……

Those classmates probably just wanted to watch the fun, and in the end he and Hope somehow became the prom king and queen of their class.

It's just magical.

Locke suddenly thought of something, looked at Esme, and gasped.

"What's wrong?" Esme asked.

Locke said with a strange expression: "That's why my mom always asks me some weird questions after the prom."

Esme became interested.

"for example?"

"Ask me if there are any female or male classmates in high school that I think are good-looking."

“And then there’s the new non-discrimination bill passed by Congress and stuff like that.”

Locke said this, and then looked at Esme speechlessly: "So my mom thinks I'm gay?"

He felt that his reputation was being harmed.

God is my witness.

He studied hard in high school and made progress every day. If he were in the East, he would definitely be a three-good student every year.

How come here I'm inexplicably considered a loner and having problems with my sexual orientation?

No wonder Claire always dragged him to psychological counseling during the holidays.

Shet!

Esme looked at Locke, who looked as if he had eaten a fly, and couldn't help laughing. She then stood on Claire's side and said, "But you have to admit that Hope van Dyne sounds like a boy's name no matter how you look at it."

Locke took a deep breath.

"She's a woman, I swear to God."

"Ok."

Esme looked at Locke's increasingly red face and wisely changed the subject: "Where is she now? Is there any contact?"

Locke shook his head.

"No."

"Aren't you the Emperor and Queen? Is there no connection?"

"No one in our class had Hope's contact information."

"what."

"She left Washington after graduation. When I called her, her phone number had been cancelled."

Locke sighed, "Later I heard someone say that it seemed that Hope's family business had some problems, and the whole family left the Federation."

Fortunately, so many years have passed now, and he has proved with practical actions that he is straight, not gay.

otherwise……

If he had known that back then, he would definitely pull Hope out to testify for him. And if he couldn't find Hope at that time, he was afraid that mud would really fall into his crotch, and he would become a gay even if he wasn't already.

Esme looked at Locke who was sighing and blinked.

"But they don't know you're married, so in their minds, you're still gay!"

"..."

Locke, who was just breathing a sigh of relief, suddenly paused and looked at Esme who was looking down at him from above.

Esme smiled.

next second.

Esme screamed, then felt dizzy. When she came to her senses, she saw that she and Locke had swapped positions.

Locke stretched out his hand towards the bedside table while lying on his stomach.

Esme crossed her legs and watched curiously as Locke grabbed the phone.

"What are you doing."

"Holding a class reunion."

"what?"

"I am a straight man. I am a tough guy who can stand the test of time and weather the storm. I have a strong body and I am a reputable and tough guy. This matter must be clarified."

Locke gritted his teeth as he searched through the list in the address book.

Esme looked at Locke, who seemed very angry, and blinked, wishing that Claire was there at this moment.

Because she could tell Claire.

Look.

Like gay?
