The extraordinary life of a certain American comic.

Chapter 130 Locke's Passionate Defense (25 full order required)
In the afternoon.

Locke drove his beloved wife to his mother Claire's Water Purification Organization's company in Washington, D.C.

After mother Claire gently took Esme's hand and assured Locke that she would take good care of Esme, Locke got back into the car and headed for the old place he and Stephanie remembered.

Naval Observatory.

This place has another name.

Vice President's residence.

At first, the former vice president did not have an official residence and lived in his own home. Later, Congress discovered that the security expenses would increase if the vice president did not have an official residence. So in order to save money, it was decided to find an official residence for the vice president.

After that, Congress found a small courtyard in the northwest of Washington, which is now the Naval Observatory, as the vice president's official residence.

So, if you are lucky, you can overlook the Vice President's residence from the Naval Observatory.

Of course.

As a building within sight of the Vice President's residence, the Naval Observatory is not a place you can enter just because you want to.

He needs an appointment to get in.

But Locke was not among them.

Locke drove to the observatory, rolled down the window, and directly showed his federal ID. The security guard then naturally opened the door, and Locke drove in easily.

In the past, he also used his ID to enter.

But at that time, he used Francis Underwood's ID.

just now!

He used his Locke Underwood ID.

And to be frank.

Locke felt that his ID was more useful.

After all, he doesn't need to fight for power on a bloodless battlefield like old Underwood.

Compared to a battlefield without blood, Locke prefers a battlefield with blood.

Simple, brutal, and fast.

soon.

Locke drove the car into the parking lot, parked it, and got out of the car.

As a unit that can be visited by appointment, it is impossible that there is only one person coming to the Naval Observatory today.

However, there are people here, just like when Locke came here before, but not many.

After Locke walked up to the observatory, the first thing he saw was a woman standing not far away. She was wearing a white coat, had shoulder-length golden curly hair, and her back was facing him.

Stephanie, who was facing away from Locke with her arms folded and looking up at the sky as if in a trance, heard the familiar footsteps coming from behind her, retracted her gaze, turned slowly, and then saw Locke who had stopped five steps behind her.

Stephanie looked at Locke who appeared in front of her and smiled gently.

"You are late."

"You're here early."

Locke smiled.

Stephanie shook her head and said, "No, when you asked me to come here, you said you would come in the afternoon, but you always arrived early in the morning."

Locke smiled and walked to Stephanie's side: "I came early at that time, thinking of going to the library over there to read some books first."

Stephanie pushed her hair away from her ears.

"me too."

"You went to the library?"

"Yes, I thought you would go to the library first, like before, but obviously, you're not there."

"Feel sorry."

Locke simply ended Stephanie's attempt to recall the past with an apology.

Again.

People only like to reminisce about the past when they encounter setbacks in life. Have you ever seen people who are successful or struggling in their careers like to reminisce about the past?
No.

Rather than recalling the past, they prefer to look forward to the unknown future.

He is also included.

The topic of the past has come to an end, and naturally we have come to the present.

"How are you doing lately?"

"not good."

"..."

There is no way to talk about this topic.

Stephanie looked at the silent Locke: "Aren't you going to ask me why it's not good?"

Because I know what you're going to say.

Locke thought about it in his heart, but still continued the conversation based on what Stephanie said.

"why."

"You're married."

"..."

Look.

I knew it.

Locke glanced at Stephanie, who spoke lightly but whose eyes were full of resentment.

Stephanie's thoughts are easy to guess.

Why.

It was obviously me who came first.

Yes.

You were indeed here first.

But what good woman can't wait to marry her husband after just one year of dating?

Locke looked at the resentment on Stephanie's face and sighed inwardly, but still chose to tell the truth.

"My father forced me to do that."

"Ah."

Stephanie was stunned at first when she heard the answer, then her eyes lit up undisguisedly and she looked at Locke.
"So you don't like your current wife?"

"No, I love him very much."

"So you just said..."

"Dad is just forcing me to get married, that's all. Tiffany, you should know that if I don't want to, no one can really force me to do anything."

"I know!"

After hearing this answer, Stephanie forced a smile on her face and looked at Locke: "But I thought you would lie for me once." Locke shook his head and looked at Stephanie with clear blue eyes. "I won't lie about this."

He can taint anything in the world.

But love...

He will never defile.

It’s like Stephen Chow used movies to mock everything in the world, but he never mocked love.

Because love is the most beautiful thing in this world and the most beautiful memory.

As for why Locke is so sentimental?
Very simple.

Most men basically spend their entire lives pursuing love.

He simply chose to go along with the crowd.

The fault is not his. If being amorous is a crime, then most men in the world are guilty.

There is something to say.

If one person commits a crime, it is wrong, but if hundreds of thousands of men commit a crime, can it still be called wrong?
D.

and so……

rounding.

Locke is passionate, which means he is innocent!

Stephanie raised her eyes and looked at Locke, who was looking at her with a calm look, without any evasion.

Eyes facing each other.

The two of them just stood by the guardrail of the observatory and looked at each other quietly.

A stranger nearby also noticed Locke and Stephanie. After looking at each other, they tacitly did not approach them.

obviously.

This is a pair of lovers who once loved each other but were unable to be together and reunited after a long separation and shared their feelings with each other.

As the most romantic people in the federation as described by public intellectuals, when seeing this scene, of course he chose to be happy to see it happen.

Some people even took out their cameras and took pictures of the two people looking at each other.

Locke sensed all of this.

But he ignored it.

He is not a public figure who needs to rely on public opinion for support; he is a member of a violent federal law enforcement agency.

He never cared about being exposed.

Again.

So what if someone finds out he is old Underwood's son?

Again.

Among the powerful circles in Washington, no one dares to say that Locke's character is second to none.

Even no son of a powerful person dared to challenge Locke.

Because he was exposed as just amorous, but other sons of powerful people were addicted to smoking marijuana and partying.

after awhile.

Stephanie was the first to retract her gaze and looked in the direction where the Vice President's residence could be seen in the distance. Then her voice floated very softly into Locke's ears beside her.

"Do you know what my first reaction was when I found out about your marriage?"

"do not know."

Locke glanced at Stephanie who had withdrawn her gaze, and also looked towards the Vice President's residence in the distance where he stood side by side with Stephanie.

"It felt uncomfortable, heartbreaking, and hard to breathe." Stephanie put her hands on the guardrail, and when she recalled the scene at that time, she held the guardrail even tighter with both hands.

Stephanie continued in a gloomy tone as she recounted her reaction when she heard the news of Locke's marriage.

Locke listened quietly and chose not to respond.

at this time.

Stephanie moved with a swish, grabbed Locke with both hands, and then threw herself into Locke's arms.

Locke heard clearly the exclamations of the onlookers who were far away. Their eyes seemed not to be looking here, but their peripheral vision was fixed on this place.

Simultaneously.

There was also a young woman who was obviously a fan of this kind of melon. Her eyes lit up and she quickly pressed the shutter of her camera until it made a smoking sound.

God knows, she had originally intended to come here to take pictures of the classic observatory.

but……

In front of the love story in real life, even the god of death has to stand aside.

After hugging Locke, Stephanie turned around, pressed her back against the guardrail, and hugged Locke tightly.

"I felt bad for several days, and then my father couldn't bear to see me like this, so he gave me a suggestion."

"He said my daughter has never been such a self-pitying person."

"Since you can't bear to give it up, go get it back."

"I figured it out."

"Little cave!"

At this point, Stephanie raised her head in Locke's arms, looked at Locke who was also looking down at her, and said in a light but firm tone: "I regret it, I don't want to break up with you, I want to be with you."

Locke's eyebrows twitched invisibly.

"I am married."

"I know. I don't care."

Stephanie shook her head, wrapped her arms around Locke's waist, hugged Locke tightly, and looked at Locke with a firm gaze: "I missed it once, but I will never miss it a second time. I want to be with you forever and never be apart in this life."

The words of love are sincere and heartfelt, which can make boys silent and girls empathize with them and even cry.

Two crystal tear marks hung from the corners of Stephanie's delicate eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she looked up at Locke with more affection.

"A small cave."

"Ok?"

"Let's make peace. Please forgive me."

"it is good."

"I know……"

Stephanie was still thinking about what to say, when suddenly the expression on her delicate face froze and she looked at Locke with shock.

Locke smiled slightly, and then under Stephanie's seemingly shocked gaze, his head seemed to inadvertently tilt slightly to the left.

next second.

call out!
