Then Allen suddenly thought of something, stood up and said, “Dad, I almost forgot. I also brought two bottles of good local wine from West Coast City. Although it’s not a top-level famous wine, it has a different flavor.”
“Good! Then let’s try it! By the way, from tomorrow on, I’ll borrow some of the other family’s escorts and form a new one to protect you for the time being!” Zach Peterson nodded.
“Guards of other families?” Allen was a little surprised.
“Yes, although these escorts are improvised, the security force is no inferior to our Peterson family’s escorts. I think you will be safe in the future.” His dad sighed. “In fact, you should not stop me!”
“Well, Dad, stop talking.” Allen interrupted him.
“Dad, big brother, what are you talking about?” Asked Carter who’s puzzled about what the two were talking about.
His dad looked at him. “It’s nothing. It’s just business. You don’t have to worry about it. By the way, didn’t you say you wanted to study abroad last time? I agree. You can go where you want to study.”
Carter’s face was full of excitement. “Dad, really? That’s great”
“Ha ha, you’ve got what you want, but I’ll have to take you over my burden together!” Allen couldn’t help laughing bitterly.
Then he turned away from the back garden and went back to his room to get the wine.
What Allen didn’t notice was that when he left, Carter glanced at his back without any trace.
Soon, when he came back with the wine, Carter got up to take it.
“Big brother, I’m happy today. Let’s drink more! It’s also a celebration of my elder brother’s return and my father granting my wish to study abroad!” Carter said with a smile.
Allen nodded, but did not speak.
“Allen, I’ll give you a good account of the family affairs tomorrow. In order to avoid accidents, I’d better make an announcement with the family first. For that you have to thank me!” His dad looked at Allen.
“Ok, Dad, I see!” Allen said in a deep voice.
Just as he was talking, Carter poured the wine for them, put the glass in front of them, and said with a smile, “Dad, brother, drink it quickly!”
As soon as Carter’s voice fell, their father couldn’t help sighing. “Allen, you… You guessed it right!”
Allen was silent and did not speak.
“Right? What’s right?” Allen was shocked and a little flustered.
“Nothing! Carter, I don’t want to drink today. Why don’t you drink this cup of wine?” He had a deep eye on Carter.
The expression on Carter’s face suddenly solidified. “Dad, this wine is specially brought back by my elder brother. Even if you don’t want to drink it, you have to have a drink to taste it!”
“Ha ha! Is that right?” Their dad’s eyes are full of disappointment.
Allen also stood up with a gloomy face and went to one side, looking up at the bright moon in the sky.
“Carter, although I suspected it was you before, I didn’t really believe that it was you!”
With these words, Carter’s face suddenly became unnatural. “Brother, what are you saying? What do you mean it’s really me? Are you doubting me? ”
“At this time, do you still want to pretend?” Zach sighed. “It seems that I’ve lost my sight! I didn’t expect that I couldn’t even see my own son!”
At this time, Carter’s face finally changed, he understood, his secret was finally revealed by these two people!
“Now that you all know, why wait until now?” Carter’s face became cold.
This is totally different from his usual life. Normally, Carter looks like a sunny youth, but now he is gloomy, even dark!
“It’s because I don’t have proof that I’ve been waiting until now!” Allen turned to look at him.
“Allen, let’s talk about the next thing. I’m a little tired!” Their dad got up with a tired face.
Allen hesitated and finally didn’t keep him. Indeed, if their dad continued to stay here, he would feel even worse.
After their dad left, Carter’s voice was cold, saying. “Tell me, when did you begin to doubt me?”
“Doubt you?” Allen glanced at him. “What really makes me doubt you is the words you said to me at the end of the video!”
“The last few words of the video?” Carter was stunned. “What did I say?”
“Good, good!” Allen said in a deep voice, “Remember when you were a child? At that time, you learned to speak slowly. When you speak, you often only say a few words. For a while, you loved to say that”
Carter’s face was full of shock. “Is there such a thing? I didn’t know! ”
“At that time, you didn’t remember anything, so maybe you didn’t even know it. You have this habit!” Allen shook his head and spoke.
Then he went to the table and sat down, playing with the cup in his hand. “But I didn’t remember it at that time, and… I didn’t doubt you at that time, I only doubted other families!”
“Why don’t you doubt the second uncle?” Carter asked in a deep voice.
“It’s very simple. If it was Patrick Peterson the second uncle, he would never reveal so many clues. These clues are clearly pointing at him. With the second uncle’s meticulousness, if he really wanted to kill me, he will never deliberately leave so many clues.” Allen shook his head.
“So you ruled him out?” Carter frowned. “But how did you suspect me?”
“It’s easy! Because you didn’t ask me anything after I came back this time!” Allen looked up at Carter.
“No?” Carter was stunned. “I… I didn’t ask?”
Allen smiled. “My brother, if you really care about me so much, then when I came back this time obviously for something very important. How can you not care? ”
Hearing this, Carter’s face suddenly changed. “You doubt me because of that!”
Allen nodded. “Yes, and I also know that you should have installed eavesdropping devices in our father’s study, even beside me. If I’m not wrong, there should be your inside line in the group of guards led by Daniel! ”
Carter was silent. “I really want to know what you will say so, I installed a miniature recorder on him, but I didn’t hear anything!”
