Chapter 1,630 Mother and Son

"What?" Aiden didn't know what he meant.

"Those female soldiers." Li Xiaobin said jokingly; "I have a friend whose child is serving in the Navy, the USS Franklin D. Roosevelt."

"Wow, the president's home on the sea." Aiden asked with interest; "Did he have a family there?"

"It's not about getting married." Li Xiaobin paused, put his fingers into the scarf and pressed it, and then spoke again: "Okay... I said they are all pregnant."

“Ever since women were able to serve in the military, more pregnant women have retired or been transferred from their posts every year than have enlisted.”

Mary picked up the wine glass and sipped lightly, and said jokingly: "I would rather he do a civilian job on land... If he must go with the ship, it's best not to bring any surprises when he comes back!"

"Who knows!" Aiden said deliberately irritatingly: "Maybe I will be particularly interested in women who are covered in sweat and have rough skin from the sun."

"Why the Navy? I thought you were more interested in the Air Force." Li Zitao always thought that his only choice was the Air Force.

"Because people say the navy has declined. They were shot down by their own people." Aiden said with a shrug: "I don't like these statements."

In fact, there are not so many strange reasons. The reason why he chose the navy is because he prefers to stay in the sea and be a sea king instead of flying into the sky and becoming a birdman.

The eight-legged monster is also good!

"I want to hear you say that what you just said was just a joke." Mary was still worried about what he just said, with a serious expression full of dissatisfaction.

Aiden was a little surprised and didn't understand what was wrong with her, "No, we don't have to discuss it at this time..."

"I don't like your attitude. You told me you were joking." Mary's face was solemn and her expression became more serious.

"Okay!" Aiden put down his chopsticks and said displeasedly: "I'm joking, will it make you happier?"

"Hey!" Li Zitao stared; "Don't talk to your mother like that,"

The originally happy atmosphere suddenly became tense. Richard and Frank, each holding a small squab and munching on it, stopped hesitantly: "Dinner... is it over?"

Pearl blinked her big eyes innocently: "Are you going to the amusement park next?"

However, the 15-year-old Richard didn't look cute at all when he did this, and then he received a block on the back of the head from his mother, Brock. ’

"Wow~ Mom, I just wanted to make a joke!" Richard covered his head and shouted in pain.

"Then I'm telling you, your joke is not funny at all." Bullock signaled him to be quiet with his eyes. This was not the time to joke.

"Come on, come on, your favorite hot pot, get out of the way..." Li Xiaobin kept urging while holding the small iron pot that was still steaming.

A small iron pot was placed in the middle of the table, filled with various seafood and side dishes: "Use your chopsticks quickly, it won't taste good when it gets cold."

Li Zitao looked at Aiden angrily, "Stop talking to your mother like that."

The topic ended here, but the atmosphere at the table could no longer return to its previous cheerfulness, becoming awkward, silent and overly polite.

"Can you please give me the salt? Thank you." Aiden said.

"Can you share the meat knife with me? Thank you." Richard stood up and said.

Everyone behaved politely. The distance between chairs was only 20 centimeters, but the actual distance seemed to be as far as the west coast to the east coast.

"It's almost time." Sensing the smell of gunpowder surging again, Li Zitao ended the dinner early.

"Dad, can I take a pigeon back?" Pearl said, grabbing the roasted pigeon wrapped in oil paper.

She was fascinated by this delicious food,

Before that, she never knew that the birds she saw every time in the park could be so delicious.

‘Next time, I’m going to bring a big net to the park. ’ Pearl’s saliva flowed from the corner of her mouth as she thought of something.

"There are also small cakes that are ready in the oven. I'm going to pack them." Blake took off the tablecloth and wanted to go to the kitchen.

"No, we won't stay in New York for too long." Mary smiled and hugged her, and said goodbye to Li Xiaobin and their two children: "If you have time to visit the castle, Pearl can take you to go fishing. There is a seat there. The island is beautiful!”

Richard and Frank were obviously moved. It was the holiday now. If mother allowed it and Mary returned to Los Angeles soon, they would appear at the gate of the castle in a few days.

"Goodbye during the Spring Festival." Li Zitao waved to the outside of the car, closed the window, and heard a soft sigh immediately.

"He didn't mean it, Mary, don't be so angry!" Li Zitao comforted his wife, who was still sulking about Aiden's previous performance.

"This is all your fault." Mary suddenly pointed the finger at him, "Ariel should not have been here. I am losing the respect and awe of the children."

"No, that's not the case." Li Zitao said sincerely: "I promise, he did not disrespect you, and this has nothing to do with Ariel."

"What guarantee do you use?" Mary looked at him and said, "Since that incident, he has never been the same as before."

That incident refers to Xu Man's funeral, and Aiden's change began at that time.

"Have you talked to Mason?" In Li Zitao's opinion, she was just too sensitive and was affected by the changes that occurred during this period.

He knew he shouldn't do this, but many times, many things were out of people's control.

Ariel's experience made him sympathize. She was also his daughter, and he was the only one left to rely on in America.

Li Zitao couldn't do it if he was asked to just let her go. At least until she became an adult, he had to try his best to fulfill his responsibilities as a father.

"Don't you think there was something wrong with your attitude just now?" He was not shirking responsibility. Mary had clearly provoked the incident just now.

Everyone could tell that Aiden was joking, and yes, his attitude was not very good.

But if it were normal, at such a gathering, Mary would never make both of them unable to get off the stage like she did just now.

It was more like she was venting her inner anger and dissatisfaction, deliberately provoking Aiden's rebellion.

"Are you blaming me?" Mary still didn't calm down and asked him angrily.

Li Zitao spread his hands and said, "Ailier won't bother you anymore, but you should also decide your attitude towards Aiden. He is no longer a child."

"So you want him to suddenly bring you a child and tell you; Dad, this is your grandson. Look at how cute he is. Do you want to hug him?"

Seeing that she was completely angry at the moment, Li Zitao decided not to talk anymore. It would be better to wait until she calmed down before talking.

Mary also turned her head towards the car window angrily, looking out the window in a daze with her eyes distracted.
