On that day, Quincy sent Victor home. And Victor was in a bad mood all the way. Quincy knew it was because of Elinor. But Victor couldn't always be so stubborn and illiberal on this. The relation between children shouldn't be like this. So he tried to find a way to ease their relationship.
Elinor has always wanted to get along with Victor. But unfortunately, Victor's heart is as hard as a stone now. Because Elinor is Maria's child, he can never be nice to Elinor.
When Victor got off the car, Quincy sighed and called him: "Victor, I actually have something to tell you about this weekend."
"What is it?" Victor was still very respectful to Quincy. He stopped his step and asked: "Is it about you?"
"Well... It's not like that. There will be a family reunion on this weekend. So I want to invite you." Quincy tried to communicate with Victor in a more tactful way. "Because there will be many children there. As you know, those uncles and aunts will definitely bring their children, so I want you to be there. And you can help me take care of Elinor. After all, Elinor doesn't know anyone."
It turned out that he needed to be a bodyguard for Elinor.
Victor looked at Elinor with disdain showing in his eyes. He sneered: "It turns out that you are so useless that you don't know how to greet people when you first meet them."
Elinor tried her best not to stutter. But her face turned bloody red. "I... It's not like that! Then you don't need to come. I'll be fine by myself."
In fact, Elinor is really a little scared when she faces strangers. The only person she plucked up courage to approach is probably Victor. And she doesn't know where her courage came from.
"Why do you think you can tell me what to do or what not to do?" Victor smiled like a little devil. "I'll definitely attend the party to see you helplessly cry in the middle of the crowd. Alas... That's fun to imagine."
Elinor's eyes turned red in anger. "You just want to see me make a fool of myself!"
"What else could it be? What do you think you have that can make me attend that party for you?"
Victor lifted the bag on his back and then turned around to leave without looking back. He just said to Quincy alone: "Goodbye, Uncle Quincy."
Elinor still said stubbornly: "Goodbye, Brother Victor!"
Victor didn't respond to her at all.
Elinor obviously felt lost. But she still cheered herself up. It doesn't matter. Brother Victor hates her only because of her mother's mistakes. As long as she tries her best to prove that she is a good person, Brother Victor will finally accept her.
She obediently followed Quincy back. She casually asked on their way: "Well... Uncle Sue, where is my father?"
In fact, Quincy is her biological father. But Quincy has never told Elinor about this, which made Elinor still relied on Dixon very much.
Dixon treats Elinor very nicely indeed.
Quincy looked a little embarrassed. He came up with an explanation. "He is busy recently. And he doesn't feel well."
"Is my father in poor health?" Elinor's eyes are full of worries. "Can I... go to visit him?"
Quincy turned and saw the sincere expression on Elinor's face. He suddenly felt that God does have plans for everyone.
Maria is scheming for her whole life. But Elinor is as pure as a blank sheet of paper, not polluted by any darkness.
Finally, Quincy answered softly, "OK, after the family gathering on the weekend, I will take you to visit him."
He can take this opportunity to talk to Dixon about the adoption procedures of this child seriously.
On the weekend, Victor wanted to head out. Sonia found him a lot of handsome clothes to wear. But Victor kept shaking his head. "No. I don't want this."
"Why?" Victor never acted like this before. He has never been so picky on clothes. And he used to wear what Sonia asked him to wear obediently. Besides, Sonia's tastes for clothes is not bad. But today's Victor is particularly picky.
