"Okay, they're almost here."

George, who was waiting at the airport exit, looked at the time, then glanced at his wife who had an anxious look on her face, and comforted:

"Don't worry, Sheldon won't be asking for anything, and Locke will be with him too."

"I know, I know, but Shelly is not yet twelve years old, and he has never been away from me for so long." Mary still had a worried and anxious look on her face, constantly looking towards the exit of the airport.

Mi Xi who was standing aside curled her lips. If it wasn't to see Peggy again, she wouldn't be willing to follow.

She and Peggy had been good sisters for a while.

That was the happiest time for her, because Peggy and Sheldon were equally smart, and the two of them played together.

This made her feel very happy after having faced Sheldon's various intellectual taunts since she was a child.

Peggy was not only her friend, but also her fantasy of brother-sister love.

But as time went by, she found that there were fewer and fewer things to talk about with Peggy, and Peggy spoke more and more like Sheldon.

After that, her contact with Peggy was almost gone, as if Sheldon never played with her, and all he cared about every day was knowledge that she couldn't understand at all.

But deep down in his heart, he still likes Peggy very much and misses the time when he and Peggy were sisters.

So when she heard that Peggy would come back with Sheldon, she took the initiative to come and pick her up at the airport, just because she wanted to see Peggy again.

As for little George, he can no longer study. All he wants now is to find ways to make money. He has not attended high school courses for a while.

After all, according to his idea, if he continues to read, he won't learn anything. Instead of wasting time in school and sitting in the classroom doing nothing, he might as well work more jobs to earn money.

"They are coming." Mary saw her baby Shelly at the first sight: "Come here quickly."

"Mr. Cooper." Locke also noticed George, who was developing more and more horizontally, at a glance, and greeted them one by one.

After letting go of Little Sheldon for a while, Mary smiled and said, "Thank you for sending Shelly back. Locke, would you like to come to our house together? I've prepared my specialty barbecue."

"You're welcome, Sheldon is also my friend. I will send Peggy home next, and I have arrangements with my friends." Locke smiled and said, "I will visit in a few days."

"Okay, then I wish you have a good time." George glanced at Ashley and Tang Wei next to Locke, thinking that young people today are more playful than we were back then.

"Long time no see Peggy." Mi Xi greeted Peggy: "You are getting more and more beautiful."

"Same for you." Peggy said with a smile, "How was your time in middle school?"

"It's quite interesting. In addition, I became the best pitcher on the baseball team." Mi Xi happily shared her small achievement with her little sisters.

"Very good." Peggy nodded: "It's a pity that I couldn't watch your game."

"It doesn't matter. I have a video of the game. When you come to my house, we can watch it together."

"OK."

Mixie held Peggy's hand and chirped, looking very happy, but Peggy's reaction was calmer and more polite.

Mi Xi, who has high emotional intelligence, soon discovered this, and couldn't help but feel disappointed, thinking that the time of little sisters was gone after all.

"Hey, this weight is not light." George took Little Sheldon's luggage and said, "What's in it."

"It's my comic." Little Sheldon said very straightforwardly: "I didn't have time to read it when I was at school, so I will make up for the wonderful things I missed during the holidays."

"Are you still reading those comics?" Thinking of the scenes she had seen in the comic books, Mary, a devout believer, felt uncomfortable, but she had no choice, after all, her son only had these hobbies.

As the Shelton family drove away, a man in a suit and tie quickly came over: "Is it Mr. Locke?"

"It's me." Locke glanced at the other person.

"I am a Porsche salesperson. As per your request, the car you reserved over the phone is parked on the roadside in front. Please follow me."

"Okay." Locke nodded and followed the other party to a roadside outside the airport, where he saw the car he had reserved, which was also his means of transportation in Texas during Christmas.

After sitting in the driver's seat and doing a brief inspection to confirm that the license plate, insurance, etc. were all in place, Locke signed the contract and settled the balance with a check.

"Okay, let's get in the car." Locke greeted Peggy, Ashley and Tang Wei to get in the car and headed towards Peggy's house.

"Mixi seems a little disappointed." On the way, Locke said casually.

"She also needs to get used to it. After all, people always have to grow up. At certain stages, they always have to say goodbye to some people in the past."

"Now I'm past the time of playing with dolls with my little sisters," Peggy said.

Locke nodded. He didn't say anything about you being only twelve years old. He already knew that Peggy was precocious. He was more concerned about another thing:

"Peggy, is there something going on at your house? When I called you before, I felt something was wrong with them."

Logically speaking, when Peggy comes back for Christmas, the Barrys will definitely need someone to pick her up, but now Locke is asked to send her back, obviously because of some changes in the family.

"They have separated." Peggy said calmly: "Grandma told me that dad often goes to bars now, and mom has also found a new date."

"What?!" Locke was also slightly stunned.

He did not expect that although his intervention allowed Linda to escape from Peggy and delayed the breakdown of the Barry couple's relationship, it still failed to prevent the incident from happening.

"Are you okay?" Locke looked at Peggy with some worry.

"there is nothing."

Peggy said calmly: "That's how hormone-dominated love is. When the passion subsides, various problems will arise. It is far less durable than a soul-matching partner. You don't have to worry about me being too affected."

Of course Locke understands this, because the child's feeling of being ignored is largely an excuse for himself. The real reason is that the relationship has weakened. After all, everyone has heard the saying of the seven-year itch.

Emotions are flat, and the United States has always been "right" in pursuing one's own happiness freely. It's no wonder that the divorce rate remains high.

He could tell that Peggy was speaking his mind, but it was impossible to remain completely unaffected.

Especially when he thought about the impact of the Barry couple's divorce on Peggy in the original plot, it was difficult for him not to worry about Peggy's condition.

"Okay." Locke reached out and rubbed Peggy's head: "I will rent a suite in a nearby hotel for a long time during my vacation, and then play around. If you are interested, we can come together."

"Okay." Noticing Locke's concern, Peggy put a smile on her face and agreed.
