Containment Control Starts With the Umbrella

April 17.

UNSC and non-UNSC delegations, under the arrangement of Umbrella, have thoroughly browsed the colony satellite of the "Moon City" on one side.

At 14:00 at Haffa o'clock, all the representatives took Um-255 and returned to Earth under the escort of Viking fighter planes.

William also returned to Haffa on the Phantom after seeing off these representatives.

After all, Halsey has completely completed the handover of all affairs on Pluto, and returned to Haffa City as early as this afternoon with the three members of the blue team who had become the Primarch.

William did something sorry for Halsey, and he felt ashamed. After the Phantom arrived above the Troy base, he didn't say hello to Andre, and took the Pelican directly to the manor by the sea.

…

14:40.

The three members of the blue team who were guarding William's family returned to their respective houses after returning to the manor, without disturbing the reunion of the Halsey family.

The first floor living room of the sea view villa.

I saw Halsey in casual clothes, sitting on the sofa with Yelena and Ivan in school uniforms, watching the news about the meeting between William and representatives from all parties.

At this time, Yelena and Ivan have also undergone major changes compared to last year.

First of all, Yelena has become more and more mature, and her body shape is becoming more and more similar to her mother Halsey, with long blond hair, snow-white skin, and her height has surpassed her mother Halsey.

Ivan's height is even more amazing, even sitting on the sofa, he is half a head taller than his mother Halsey.

His figure is no longer as slender as before, but tends to be between standard and strong, handsome, tough, and his face is more like his father William.

The pair of twins are already ten years old. School will start again in September this year, and they will enter junior high school two or three years younger than their peers.

Today is Friday and there is still an hour before school ends.

However, if the siblings wanted to take leave, the school had no reason to stop them, so the siblings returned home from school early to stay longer with their mother, whom they hadn't seen for nearly half a year.

Yelena, who seems to be the most active and clings to William the most, is also uncharacteristically embracing Halsey's left arm, acting like a baby with her mother.

"Mom." On the other hand, Ivan was much more normal, watching the news broadcast on TV, and asked Halsey who was sitting between him and his sister:

"I see that Brother Meren and Brother John are both three meters tall, and Sister Carl is about 2.7 meters tall. Did they have a second operation?"

"Yes." Halsey didn't hide anything, and explained with a faint smile: "Their second transformation surgery is closely related to the company's Astartes plan."

"Hmm." Ivan nodded thoughtfully.

"..., according to the latest information that our reporter knows, the owner of Umbrella, William Russell, seems to have reached some kind of agreement with the UNSC, preparing to deploy Umbrella's super soldiers in various colonies under the jurisdiction of the UNSC , in order to minimize the tragedy of Sirius IV, next..."

It just so happened that the news host at this time was also broadcasting information about Astartes.

"Mom..." After hearing the news, Yelena shook Halsey and asked, "When will Dad come home? He hasn't been home for more than a week..."

"Hey..." After hearing Yelena's words, Halsey sighed helplessly.

After all, she had been away from home for nearly half a year before Yelena made a fuss about seeing her, and it only took William a few days...

Now she can finally fully understand the sayings in Chinese culture, such as 'a daughter is a lover in a previous life', 'a mother is just a courier' and so on.

"Click-."

Just when Halsey was about to answer Yelena, the door of the villa was opened.

The three people in the living room turned their heads and saw William in a suit walking into the villa and closing the door.

"Smelly dad~!"

Seeing that it was William coming home, Yelena immediately let go of her arms hugging Halsey, ran up to William, and hugged William with her arms wide open.

It seems to want to make William "hug and hold high".

"Daughter..." William looked at the already slim Yelena, and explained helplessly, "How old are you, why do you still want Dad to hug you?"

"I don't care, I'm only ten years old~." Yelena said coquettishly.

"Hey..." William couldn't hold back his daughter, sighed, and stretched out his left hand, easily hugging Yelena who was nearly 1.7 meters tall.

As soon as Yelena was picked up, Halsey and Ivan came to him.

Facing Halsey's eyes, William pretended to be calm and did not dodge, nor did he show any guilt and smiled:

"I'm back."

"Yeah." Halsey didn't notice William's abnormality, and said with a slight smile:

"Rebecca and I have just returned from Pluto, and now the director of the Pluto experiment facility has been replaced by a doctor (049)."

"Sister." Ivan looked at Yelena who was hugging William, and persuaded:

"You'd better come down, father can't do anything else with you in his arms, you are no longer a five-year-old child."

"Tch, stinky brother, okay, okay, can I come down, Dad, let me down."

Yelena gave Ivan a blank look, but still asked William to put her back on the ground. After all, William couldn't do anything while holding her like this.

"."

On the contrary, William looked at the family gathered around him and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, he restrained himself from going further with Serena, otherwise, William really didn't know how to face his family.

You can't do anything that's stealthy.

"Okay." At this time, Halsey raised her hand and patted the tops of her two children's heads, and said in a tough tone:

"I won't say anything if you quit school early today, but hurry up and do your homework, or your pocket money for this month will be deducted."

"I see." Ivan replied very obediently, then turned and walked towards the stairs, preparing to return to the upstairs room to do homework.

"Okay..." Yelena wanted William to take her to play, but her father listened to her mother, so she had no choice but to go back to the house with her brother.

"Kangdang-." (x2)

Soon, there were two knocks of doors closing upstairs.

Seeing that the children who could disturb her have left, Halsey no longer showed a stern mother's face, but put her arms around William's waist, tiptoed to William's ear and asked:

"I've been on Pluto for so many days, do you miss me, after the children fall asleep tonight, let's go sleep outside?"

Hearing what Halsey said, William immediately forgot about the feelings of guilt on the Moon City, and all his worries were gone.

He hugged Halsey high with his backhand, and said in a low voice, "If you don't go home, the relationship between me and my right hand will get better and better."

"Hehe." Halsey also held William's neck with both hands, and said charmingly almost cheek-to-cheek:

"Tonight, I'm on."

So far, after William and the UNSC held a meeting to deploy super soldiers, mankind has once again entered a wave of colonization, and construction and economy have also developed rapidly.
