"I can pick up Peggy when I go to school. She also lives with me. If I have anything else to do, I will trouble you."

After dinner that night, Locke said this to Susan.

"This is what I should do. To be honest, I didn't expect you and Barry to have such a close relationship."

At first, Susan guessed that Locke and Peggy were brother and sister, but after getting to know the situation of the Swanson family during this period, she realized that this was not the case.

"Locke is a very reliable person, Barry and I have known him for two years, and he has always looked after Peggy at school.

After all, you know, Peggy was only nine years old when she first entered high school. If it weren't for Locke, she would probably have been bullied by the bad girls in the school. "

Linda replied with a smile. The past two years have made them feel very reassured about Locke, otherwise they would not let Peggy live with Locke:

"I'll go back tomorrow. The summer vacation is about to end. I'm going to my mother's place to pick up my other daughter. From now on, Peggy will be in the care of you."

"Don't worry, Julie and I both like Peggy very much. Wow, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have known there could be such a smart child. Now when Julie has problems with her homework, she always asks her for advice."

"That's perfect," Linda said with a smile.

The overall atmosphere of the conversation was extremely harmonious. The next day, Ashley and Susan, whom she had just met, went to get their hair done and then went shopping, while Locke sent Linda to the airport.

When Linda's plane took off and she drove back again, Peggy, who was sitting in the co-pilot, seemed to let out a sigh of relief:

"It's been really tiring these past few days. I have to meet those willing people every day, which makes me feel like a clown performing in a circus."

"Hahaha... How can there be such a beautiful and cute clown." Locke smiled and stretched out a hand to rub Peggy's head:

"Since you find it troublesome, then take a good rest for two days and then I will take you to report. You will probably meet Sheldon then."

"He told me that he would go to Beverly's house a few days in advance. Leonard also called me. I felt like a child abandoned by his mother." Peggy said with a smile.

"Indeed, with Sheldon here, Leonard's future life will be difficult." Thinking of the possible scenarios, Locke chuckled.

"I thought of an interesting thing." Peggy suddenly said: "Maybe after we sign up, we can go to Beverly's house and have a look."

Compared to Sheldon who regards Peggy as his lifelong enemy, Peggy has always found Sheldon quite interesting. After all, there are not many people who can really get along with her.

Except for Locke and Sheldon, even Leonard, who often took the initiative to contact her, was a little behind.

It's just a pity for Leonard, Locke can feel some of his little thoughts towards Peggy.

Since we first met, I have often called Peggy and contacted her on the Internet. But judging from Peggy's attitude, the possibility of success was really low.

"As long as you can stand two Sheldons." Locke shrugged.

After returning home, Locke parked the car in the garage and saw a blond woman standing on the side of the road: "Hey, Edie, how is your new home?"

Locke took the initiative to say hello to the other party. Yidi was a real estate agent in a few streets nearby. When Locke chose this house, it was she who approved it.

"The progress is pretty good, thanks to the insurance company's willingness to compensate, otherwise the house obtained from my ex-husband would have been completely destroyed." Yi Di smiled and said, "Are you used to living here?"

“It feels pretty good. The people who live here are very welcoming.”

"Yes, everyone will like a cute boy like you."

Idi looked at Locke with some pity. Her defense range was very wide, but this was the first time for a handsome man like Locke to make her feel happy as soon as they met. Unfortunately, she had tried it before when Locke bought a house, and it didn't work. get any response.

Locke, who saw what Idy was thinking, responded with a few words, returned to the room, went to the kitchen to boil a pot of water, and then heard a knock on the door.

"Hey, um~ I'm here to see Peggy." Julie, who was standing at the door, smiled and raised the book in her hand: "I just saw you guys coming back and wanted to ask Peggy a question about school. "

Locke's eyes rolled: "Peggy, she just went upstairs to rest. If you don't mind, I can answer you."

"Really? That's fine." Julie nodded and followed Locke to the living room and sat down.

"Would you like something to drink, coffee or tea?" Locke asked.

"Just tea." Julie replied politely.

"What's the problem?" Locke brought the brewed tea over and picked up the book Julie brought.

"It's about mathematics..." Julie pointed to a question: "Peggy told me yesterday, but I always can't understand some parts."

"It's nothing, Peggy is just not used to how to explain it to ordinary people." Locke glanced at it: "This question should be like this..."

In less than ten minutes, Julie had completely figured it out: "Wow, after hearing what you said, I already understand. Thank you for your help."

"It's nothing. If you have any questions in the future, you can come to me." Locke said with a chuckle.

"That's great. My mother is not good at math either. She is a painter." Julie said, "She mainly illustrates some books."

"That sounds good, maybe I can ask her to help." Locke said with a smile: "My latest version of the novel will be released in a while, maybe I can ask her to draw illustrations."

"Really, you are still a writer?" Julie asked in surprise: "What type of novel is it?"

"The Arcane Goddess is a fantasy novel related to magic. Most of its fans are boys."

"Sounds interesting."

"If you are interested, I have published ones here that you can read."

"Thank you very much. It just so happens that I can show it to my mother. Well, I said that if she wants to take over the job of illustrating your book, it would be better if she has read your novel."

"It's okay. You wait here. The books are in the study. I'll get them right away." Locke stood up and went to the second floor. When he came to the study, he saw Peggy sitting at the desk.

"You are very lucky today." Peggy said to Locke, who was standing in front of the bookshelf looking for a book.

"Um?"

"Ashley happened to be going to the barber shop and didn't bother you."

"I'm just helping out a little bit. For me, Julie is too young."

Locke said as he went downstairs with the book and handed it to Julie: "This is the first volume. Take a look at it first. If you like it, you can ask me for the second volume."

"Thank you." Julie nodded, stood up and took the book: "I have some things to do, so I'll go back first."

"Okay." Locke didn't hold back, opened the door and sent Julie away.

As he said, Julie is indeed a bit young for her now, but she doesn't have to wait too long.
