Chapter 1621 Arrest Warrant
"Present, open the present, open the present..." Before dawn, Pearl got up from the bed and rushed to the living room with excitement.
What child doesn't love the holidays, and Pearl had been looking forward to Christmas presents a few days ago.
Under the Christmas tree by the fireplace, the gift boxes wrapped in wrapping paper were full of temptations for her, and she was about to rush into her happy nest.
Pearl felt her feet were airborne, and her body was lifted into the air. She grabbed her limbs and shouted, "Let me go, I want to open the gift..."
Aiden held the clothes behind her back with one hand, came to the sofa and threw them away, smiling and saying, "No, you can only open the gifts at night."
"But I can't wait any longer." Pearl jumped off the sofa and ran towards the Christmas tree again.
As soon as he reached Aiden's side, she grabbed his clothes and lifted him up again. His legs were weak and he was kicking around, and he was holding his arms and pouting.
"When you get old, I'm going to put the cheese out of your reach." Pearl threatened him fiercely.
Aiden tapped her nose and said funny, "I don't like cheese, that's the problem for you."
Pearl tilted her head and thought about it, then her expression turned pitiful and she said, "How about just dismantling one thing?"
Aiden shook his head helplessly, took out a rectangular packaging box from the gift pile, placed it in front of her and said, "You are only allowed to open one!"
"I got it." Pearl opened the gift happily and said with some disgust: "Don't talk to me in a coaxing tone. Do you think I'm a 5-year-old brat?"
Ariel was making the bed in the room at this time, making the bed as neatly as if no one had ever slept in it. She didn't sleep very well last night.
The unfamiliar environment and psychological pressure caused her to toss and turn all night and have trouble sleeping.
When Pearl ran past the door just now, she also woke up, but now she was not sure whether she should go out.
clang clang.
"Miss Ariel, are you awake?"
"Yes."
"Please come to the restaurant, breakfast is ready."
"I'll be right away." The servant's knock on the door made Ariel no longer need to worry.
I saw my father in the restaurant. He was wearing comfortable baggy pants and a satin jacket. He looked a bit like an old man from Chinatown. "Did you sleep well last night?"
"Yeah." Ariel looked at the table. The simple breakfast looked delicious.
Just as she was thinking about it, Mary came from the kitchen carrying a plate and handed her the plate with fried eggs: "Is breakfast delicious?"
"It's already very good." Ariel was still a little cautious.
"After breakfast, do you have somewhere to go?" Mary asked sitting in her seat.
"I'm going to see my friends and I'll be back before 3 o'clock." Aiden said while eating.
"Can I go to the park?" Pearl mixed the candied omelette into a paste, put her mouth on it and sucked on it and said, "I know...
There will be a lot of kids there today. "
Pearl wanted to take the opportunity to catch up with her friends in New York, who played next to the lake in Central Park every Christmas morning.
"What about you?" Seeing that Li Zitao didn't speak, Mary asked curiously, "Is there nothing to do?"
"Ariel, do you want to go out for a walk?" Of course Li Zitao had something to do, but he planned to put aside other things and take his daughter around New York.
They can go to the Statue of Liberty, climb the Empire State Building, visit the Metropolitan Museum, Broadway and Central Park are also good choices.
"I can stay at home and help." Ariel looked at Mary from the corner of his eyes and said with some fear.
"It's okay. You can walk around with...your father and see the scenery of New York. Come back before dinner."
Mary's attitude towards her was neither enthusiastic nor indifferent. After all, the relationship between them was too complicated.
Even for her,
It also takes a long time to figure out what attitude and method to use to face Ariel.
"It's okay, I want to stay here to help." Ariel quickly said that she could stay at home to help.
"No, it's okay." Mary said to Li Zitao, "Can you take them to the park together?"
"Of course, that's it." After drinking the hot milk, Li Zitao stood up and said, "I'm going to change clothes, you two eat quickly, our schedule today will be very tight."
"Ye" Pearl raised her hands excitedly, not knowing how funny it looked with her mouth covered in egg yolk.
"Remember to be back before dinner!" Watching them enter the elevator, the smile on Mary's face gradually disappeared, and then she sighed deeply.
Ariel's arrival made her very uncomfortable. If it weren't for Aiden, she didn't know if she could still remain calm now.
He had promised that Lilith was the only exception, but now, the situation seemed to be out of control.
"Madam, can you start setting up?"
"Yes." Mary nodded weakly, turned and walked towards the room: "I'm going to take a rest, don't let anyone disturb me."
…
"Dad, can we go diving in the park next time?" Pearl returned home after a day of playing with great interest.
Not being able to dive in Central Park was her biggest regret, so she was already planning her next trip.
"We are going back to Los Angeles after the festival. You can go diving at the beach." Li Zitao said with a smile, holding a daughter by one hand.
"Are you happy today?" Seeing that Ariel was silent, Li Zitao wanted to let her relax.
When she was playing with Pearl, she acted like a child, but as soon as she stepped out of the elevator, she became reserved again.
"Well, I'm very happy." Ariel raised a smile and lowered his head again after speaking.
"Don't be nervous, it's Christmas today."...
Li Zitao rubbed her head and said comfortingly.
Passing around the partition wall in front of us, a colorful hall came into view, with colored lights, ribbons and small accessories already hung all over the room.
The lights on the Christmas tree were also turned on, and a strong fire burned in the fireplace.
Li Xiaobin's family and little Mary were helping in the kitchen, while the children were chatting happily next to the sofa.
"Ariel, Pearl." Seeing them coming back, Aiden waved to the two and shouted; "We are playing a sticker game, come here."
Watching the two of them run to the sofa and play with the others, Li Zitao also walked into the kitchen and greeted the others with a smile: "Hi, is there anything different today?"
"It's very different." Li Xiaobin glanced at Ariel in the living room and said with a wink, "The festival is getting more and more lively."
Li Zitao hit him on the chest, pretending to be angry and threatening: "Your voice is too ugly, should you speak less?"
"Really?" Li Xiaobin disagreed, but said proudly: "But many people say that my voice is cool, like the future robot on the screen."
