Chapter 178 Lies (Big Chapter)(1/4)
9 p.m.
The night sky is like a wash, and the black curtain is filled with stars, shining with light diligently.
A bright moon hung in the sky, blooming with a silvery white color.
A black Mercedes-Benz G500 parked in front of Daisy's house.
Luke got out of the car and saw that the lights at Daisy's house were dark, so he guessed that Daisy hadn't arrived home yet.
He didn't bother to go into the house alone and sat on a chair in the yard waiting for her.
There's no such thing as a banquet that never ends. David's departure made Luke feel a little emotional. Although the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Department was downstairs, it was different after all.
Even though David has many shortcomings, he is still good to his partner Luke and always protects Luke in his own way.
The Robbery and Murder Division often deals with suspects, and it is inevitable that David will do some of the dirty work that offends people.
Luke used to be like his little brother, but this little brother has grown up and even surpassed him.
As a former Big Brother, David's heart is somewhat complicated, including relief, envy, helplessness, and entanglement...
Everyone has their own ideas. David went to work as a deputy team member in the Anti-Crime and Anti-Narcotics Division, which is good for his own future development.
From a long-term perspective, it's not a bad thing for Luke. People can't be confined to a small circle.
The larger your circle of friends, the more friends you have, and the more normal your journey will be.
David went to the Anti-Narcotics and Anti-Narcotics Department, but his relationship with Luke would not be broken. The two had a life-long friendship. If in the future, if he needed help from the Anti-Anti-Narcotics and Anti-Narcotics Department, he could just go to David directly.
"Woooo..."
A red sports car drove to Daisy's garage. Daisy walked out of the cab and asked, "Why don't you go in?"
"Suddenly I want to blow some air."
"Something on your mind?"
"My former partner has been transferred, so I'm a little bit uncomfortable with it."
"The bald guy named David?"
"That's right." Luke stood up and put his arm around Daisy's waist. "Let's not talk about him anymore. Let's go in."
Arrived at home.
At Luke's suggestion, the two took a mandarin duck bath.
I worked hard until eleven o'clock in the evening and then lay down in bed to rest.
Daisy was covered with a thin quilt and was drowsy. She had been working for a day and her body was already exhausted.
Luke patted her smooth back and said, "Daisy, when do you have time, how about we go out for a walk together?"
Daisy turned sideways and changed into a comfortable position, still closing her eyes, "Where do you want to go?"
Luke said, "It depends on your time. If you can take a long vacation, we can go to distant places, such as Hawaii, Las Vegas, and New York."
If you have a short break, we can walk around nearby."
Daisy smiled and said, "When I rest, I like to lie in bed and sleep in. I don't want to go anywhere."
Luke said thoughtfully, "Then let's rent an RV and I'll take you on a trip in the RV. You can sleep on the road and go straight to the sights when you wake up."
Daisy opened her eyes and touched Luke's chin, "Sounds pretty good."
Luke grabbed her hand and stroked it gently, "The plan must be good, it just depends on whether you have time."
Daisy yawned, "No problem, I will arrange some time to save you from calling me a workaholic again."
Luke hesitated for a moment and then asked tentatively, "By the way, has anyone been looking for you recently?"
"What's the meaning?"
"I met a man named Lawrence Miller who claimed to be your father."
Daisy sat up suddenly, forgetting to cover her with a quilt, revealing her beautiful curves.
"Lawrence came to see you?"
Luke organized his language and told the story of his contact with Lawrence.
"call……"
Daisy sighed softly and said sadly, "How could such a person have the nerve to claim to be my father and ask me to help his so-called son with his lawsuit? What a bastard."
Luke said, "I didn't agree to help him pass the message because I was drunk. He may not know that you also know about this. What are you going to do?"
Daisy was silent for a moment and shook her head, "I don't want to see him, let alone help him litigate.
You did the right thing, don't see this guy again, he's not worth your energy."
"I understand." Luke was cautious because he couldn't figure out what Daisy was thinking.
Now I know Daisy’s attitude.
Since she doesn't even care about her so-called father, what does Luke have to care about.
After a while, Daisy took the initiative and asked, "What did Lawrence tell you?"
"Told some things about your childhood and the reasons why you divorced your mother."
"I can't believe he actually remembers what happened when I was a child. What did he say?"
Luke briefly recounted it.
"Humph, he's full of lies. It's not what he said at all." Daisy's eyes turned red and she calmed down her inner emotions. "It's only been 18 years since he divorced my mother, and that so-called brother is already 19 years old.
He had already cheated on her before the divorce.
What's even more annoying is that he is still unwilling to pay child support and alimony.
In order to evade responsibility, he began to transfer property before marriage and pretended to be bankrupt after marriage.
My mother was just a housewife at the time, taking care of the house wholeheartedly and even squeezing the toothpaste for him. She was deceived by his lies all the time and was kept in the dark until the day before the divorce.
After the divorce, I lived with my mother.
My mother not only has to take care of me, but also works to earn money. We live a very hard life, but she never cares.
Is this why I want to be a lawyer? Why do I have to work so hard?
Only in this way can I feel safe.
After I can handle cases independently.
I once wanted to sue him to help myself and my mother pay for the child support and alimony.
But my mother always advised me that this kind of person is not worth doing that.
Ignoring him is the greatest contempt for him.
I really don't know where he got the courage.
He actually wants me to help him litigate for free, it’s just a dream.”
Luke patted Daisy on the shoulder, "It's all over now, you still have me by your side."
"You are right, I am no longer the little girl who loves to cry.
I'm a lawyer." Daisy's tone was full of confidence and indifference.
After hearing what Daisy said, Luke felt a little uncomfortable. Daisy was not only complaining about her dissatisfaction with her father, but also expressing her distrust of men.
This incident is bittersweet for Luke. The good news is that he knows the crux of Daisy's problem, but the bad news is that this crux is not so easy to overcome.
Luke suddenly felt a little worse for Lawrence.
This old scumbag did bad things and implicated himself to a certain extent.
This impact is not direct, but indirect.
Daisy's distrust of men originated from her father.
If a woman doesn't even trust her own father, how can she easily trust other men?
So many things happened on the first day of work, Luke was a little tired and fell asleep.
…
The next morning.
Daisy went to work as usual and seemed not to be affected by last night.
Neither of them mentioned the incident again.
The matter came to an end, and after learning Daisy's thoughts, Luke no longer had any scruples about Lawrence and directly blocked him.
When Luke finished breakfast and rushed to the office, David's desk and chair were already vacant.
When some people are around, you may feel that it doesn't matter.
Once you leave, you will feel empty inside.
This is what Luke feels now, an indescribable feeling.
