Monday breakfast started off awkwardly.
First, Zach is at the center of the table—Zach has never been at the center of breakfast. Let me start by saying that this has nothing to do with the two extra guests in Grande. There is no need for Zach to wrong himself for these two people.
Then there is Alice. Alice is dressed like a cotton ball - because she was criticized by Mrs. Barton yesterday when she went to Barton Manor to see Laura, "Oh my god, what did your two brothers do! You are all year round Are they all wearing skirts?! Forget about yesterday’s party, I’m too lazy to say it, but why are they still wearing skirts today! Go back and tell your brother! It’s going to be winter! Take care of their sister! Uh, I can’t take care of myself. It’s really not good. You know why I should trust such a guy!"
Then, since Mrs. Barton was mentioned, it was time to bring out the two guests. The first one, Miss Taylor. Yes, Taylor is still in Barton, but she won't stay any longer. She came to say goodbye - "Kozier doesn't need me, Darcy doesn't need me, Kyle, Kyle can already be self-reliant, and I and the people from the West End of Barton The connection has been completely severed. Humph, 'thank you', Zach. And the church, Eric and I don't have much to get along with. I don't see the point of me continuing to stay in Barton, so I'm here to say goodbye. .”
The second guest, the wizard Max - "Sibella asked me to send over the information on 'Raging Waves', psychological evaluation, treatment records, etc. They agreed to leave Mrs. Barton to you to deal with. Let me tell you to use it wisely. Better not to disappoint them. Also, 'Aconite Soup', my girlfriend changed the recipe a little bit and she said your (to Benjamin) and Matthew's... uh, excrement won't be green anymore... It'll be hot tomorrow It’s ready to drink when it’s hot…”
Finally, there is the ball that keeps spinning on the dining table. Every time Benjamin made a move, whether it was picking up condiments or fiddling with the dinner plate, he would follow the moving ball. So no matter what kind of embarrassing conversation is going on at the dinner table, this ball that seems to be out of control but follows Benjamin's every move will forcefully attract everyone's attention and push the atmosphere at the dinner table into an even weirder situation.
for example.
"Benjamin, I'm sorry." Zach was repeating the apology he had been repeating all night.
"Say 'I'm sorry' again." Benjamin held the fork and began to poke holes in the egg rolls on the plate. "You will hope that you still feel, 'invincible'."
You would think that the people at the dinner table would be paying more attention to this conversation, but no, everyone is watching the ball on the table that bounces with the movements of Benjamin's hands.
"Can someone tell me what this thing is?" Finally, someone asked the question, and it was Taylor.
"That's a ball with Indian writing on it." This was Zach's answer, and he couldn't seem to think of a better way to describe it.
"Uh." Taylor shook his head and picked up the last piece of food on the plate without putting it in his mouth. After eating, it meant goodbye. She obviously still had something to say, "Finally, I still want to say that I have completed my work in Barton." She glanced at Zach.
Zach sipped his wine glass like an alcoholic while everyone was having breakfast, and said very self-consciously, "No need to thank me."
Let's put it this way, Taylor should have left long ago. When the Barton family severed their relationship with the church, she, who came to Barton as Kyle's religious college instructor, had no reason to continue to stay in Barton. But she still delayed it until now—
"I have been very active in establishing relationships with fallen angels and saints. I won't talk about fallen angels." By the way, he is still in hell and there is no news when he will come back. "Saint Sissi, uh, Saint Sissi ." Listening to this tone, he seemed too lazy to say more.
"But." She held up her fork, "You, Zach, you must be my goddess of luck..."
"Don't you have any other adjectives?" Zach glanced at Taylor.
"Lucky man? Sorry, there is no such thing." Taylor shook his head, "Who would have thought that just when I thought the Barton family had completely separated from the church and faith, you sent Kyle a guardian angel . Even at the beginning, my mission started when you used the Charming Eye on Kyle. You must be the goddess of luck, allowing my mission to have a beginning and an end... "
When Zach glanced at Taylor again, Mo added, "Reincarnation, you add a reincarnation of the goddess of luck, he will feel better~" He added completely unhelpfully.
Taylor smiled at Mo and lifted the last piece of egg roll on the fork again, "Wonderful breakfast, as my last memory in Barton, very good. Thank you." He put it in his mouth, then chewed it calmly and wiped it , full of etiquette, stood up, looked at everyone, and said, "Goodbye."
gone.
In the end, she didn't tell Zach how she got rid of Zach's charm. He was a 'selfish' guy who only cared about his own perfection.
As soon as there was a chance, Zach looked at Benjamin again and said seriously, "Benjamin, I'm sorry. I wasn't myself yesterday..."
Benjamin didn't threaten again, but Mo, who liked to interrupt, was the one who spoke.
"Okay, he has forgiven you. If you really want to apologize for yesterday's behavior, you should apologize to Jin." Mo pointed to the Great Dane in the corner of the restaurant, "Look at him." Be more specific, "Look at him Tail! By the way, he doesn’t have a tail behind his butt!”
Regarding a follow-up from yesterday, Zach, who was obedient and did not try to touch Benjamin's butt, continued to harass Jin, the possessor of the transformation ability who "should be given more respect". The whole process is estimated to have caused permanent psychological trauma to the Great Dane.
Zach was self-conscious, "Kim, I'm sorry."
Kim answered as she turned her butt towards Zach.
"I've burned the remaining 0711s." Louise joined the conversation as she passed the dining table. That's right, Louise didn't join this awkward breakfast, she was loading up in the backyard. The donated items that Harrison marked yesterday that the shelter can accept will be delivered by Zach today. She just came in to see that the atmosphere in the restaurant was still so bad after seeing Taylor leave, so she rolled her eyes and said, "I will go to the shelter with him, and I will make sure that he never touches 0711 again!" Then she said Turn around and go out again.
Speaking of Zach’s 0711 victims, Louise is the first~
"Yes." Zach's response to Louise's eye roll was actually gratitude, a bit like the gratitude a drunkard who has consciously reformed would look at the person who threw away his drink, "So I can guarantee that yesterday afternoon That situation will never happen again.”
No one responded. Only the ball that followed Benjamin continued to dance on the dining table.
Now it takes someone to break this uncomfortable embarrassment.
Great, Max stepped up. Suddenly he picked up the empty salad bowl and clasped the bouncing ball. He blinked, turned his head and looked at Benjamin, "Can I copy the words on this ball? I think Sibella and the others probably know it." What the hell is this.”
Benjamin only glanced at Max, nodded his chin, and agreed.
As soon as Max left the table, probably looking for paper and pen, the ball that was stuck in the bowl jumped out, rolled towards Benjamin as if it had its own consciousness, and stopped in front of the dinner plate. Benjamin began to look at the ball.
"In my office, in the right drawer, I have a Polaroid, you can take a photo." Zach tried to give suggestions.
Max responded and went upstairs.
Zach didn't expect this little suggestion to change his bad situation in everyone's mind. He looked at Danny the Phantom, who used a fork to spread all the ingredients and only ate vegetables and eggs, "I didn't even ask." Yes. Zach was looking for a topical breakthrough to change his situation, "You went to see Will yesterday. How is he (Danny's friend in a wheelchair) doing lately?"
When we last followed up on the boy's situation, it was when Novel and the Barton alien army met. It seemed that Will had forgiven Danny and at least left his home (just under the railway bridge on the border of Barton's West End). The must-defend entrance when defending against wolf invasion) was lent to serve as a contact point for the Barton alien race, wasn't it
"He's fine." From the look of Danny, he didn't want to talk about this. But the atmosphere dictated that he knew he had to cooperate with Zach. "He is studying at home now. He has applied for a special school in Newton. He has to keep up with the teaching progress there and then he can go to school." He hesitated but made up for it, " The news that Eve told me before." Do you have any impressions? It happened after Eve was helplessly followed by Danny for a while, and the two had to get along well. "He was very excited. He felt that he could go to Newton to go to school. He is no longer a burden to his mother and can be independent."
Zach raised his eyebrows. Zach really didn't think Newton was a suitable place for a disabled teenager to be independent. "You should contact Yuehua Baiying in Newton to make sure..."
"I've been in contact for a long time." The person who suddenly joined the conversation was Maya. She glanced at Zach and said, "I want to do something to help the Grand people. I don't need to report to you." Feeling what Maya was expressing, "Just It’s like you won’t report anything to us.”
Although the topic started to get dangerously close to something Zach didn't want Alice to know - look at Tam shaking his head while enjoying breakfast, and he even rubbed his lack-of-exercise belly in response to the situation - Zach felt it was still necessary to correct him. Maya said, "In this family, no one needs to 'report' to anyone. Everything we do is for the good of Grande as a whole."
It's also a disguised reminder to Maya, for the sake of Alice, don't worry about the little lies and concealments, it's all for Grande's good, isn't it
Maya curled her lips, but that was the end of the topic anyway. She fiddled with the food on her plate and said, "Kyle also asked me for the same thing. His former classmate, Vincent, has a younger brother who is also in New York. That special school in Dayton. Kyle asked us to inquire about this classmate's brother." He glanced at Danny and said, "So, don't take it to heart. Yuehua and Baiying assured me that the school is very safe, Devil I am not interested in humans with mutilated bodies. Your friend will be safe if he goes to Newton, at least he will never be involved in an alien incident like he was in Barton."
"Thank you, I appreciate it."
very nice. The direction Zach wanted to go in was completely blocked - as you can guess, Zach actually signaled to Danny and Will more than once. Will has proven that he deserves a better life. As long as they are willing, Zach Gram can cure his disability.
Now, judging from what Maya said, curing Will is probably no longer a better life for Will.
Zach swung his wine glass, preparing to find another topic. This is exactly what our vampire is good at. His eyes move from person to person at the dinner table, almost easily. How about old Hank? You can ask about Bain's situation - soon, the project of the new living area will be officially completed, which means that Bain will move into the Grand. You can understand the impact of this incident on the employees of the cemetery. Didn’t Old Hank go to chat with those people every day
"Hank, Bane..."
The phone in the office rang, and soon Max ran down with a Polaroid in hand, "Phone."
Looking at Old Hank, he said, 'Just right! Leave me alone' expression. Zach had no choice but to stand up with the wine glass in hand. The family stopped doing those useless etiquette and walked out of the restaurant quietly.
When he came to the office, he put the receiver to his ear and said, "Grand."
"It's me." It was concise and direct. You can guess who it is by listening to the content. "Tsk, I want to transfer a client to your place. Come and get the information yourself."
Zach was stunned for a moment, and then smiled a little, "There is no need to hand it over. Let's do this funeral together. I will leave the ceremony to you. Grande will only leave the cemetery." Zach's smile was justified, " This is a terrible time for the funeral home industry, and we need to help each other." That means Grande cannot be left to profit alone while other funeral homes are being robbed and out of business.
"Oh, thank you for your suggestion. But no, I was also forwarded to it. Allen forwarded it to me." The emotion on the other side of the receiver could not be heard as ridicule or something more helpless, "Alan doesn't want to be with you." You contact me, I'm just a transit person. Stop talking nonsense, I'm going to enjoy the vacation that I have to go on, don't bother me with your crappy things for half an hour! Come and get the customer information yourself!"
Yes, the caller was Mr. Ford, the owner of Ford Funeral Home.
Zach was stunned again, but he still kept his smile, "Is it a holiday? You should be open-minded."
"Can you look away? You know what overwork is like! I've even fainted once!" Hahaha, I don't need to explain, everyone understands, "I want the funeral industry to be my own industry and I have to live to enjoy it! I don’t want to overwork myself again! Stop talking nonsense, half an hour!” He hung up.
Zach swung the glass and thought for a while, then made a decision—
Louise's plan to ensure that Zach never comes into contact with 0711 seems to be impossible. Zach called the Allen Funeral Home and left a message without expecting to be picked up, "Due to the restraining order, I will not go over to discuss the cooperative funeral with you. I will send Louise over to talk to you. You talk. Arrangements for the ceremony and relatives are up to you. Grande is only responsible for the cemetery and coffin purchase. This is Grande’s proposal. For this funeral, Grande will work for you Allen. Get ready, Louise will be there in an hour Silk will pass." Hang up. (.)
