To be honest, Chen Zhao was not mentally prepared at all.
Did it have to be so sudden?
But facing Fali, whom he had spent so much time with, Chen Zhao suddenly did not know how to reject her.
Thus, under the witness of her three friends, Fali successfully confessed.
"Chen, how did you escape from the storm?" David asked.
"I was lucky. I adopted a pet at sea."
"What pet?"
"It was a killer whale called Amon. Amon was the one who sent me back to land."
"…"
Everyone was speechless. They all knew that Chen Zhao's adopted pets were all abnormal.
Intelligence was the most basic requirement. Fali had even seen Black Ma and White Ma with her own eyes.
Thus, they were all interested in Chen Zhao's adopted Amon. David asked excitedly, "Where's Amon? Where is he now? "
"In the sea, of course. You can't expect me to carry Amon back, right?"
"When will you take us to see him?"
"We'll talk when you're free."
"You've been with me for the whole day," Fali said. "Go home and rest."
"Chen's back and you're going to chase us away? I'm staying tonight, "Sienna said unhappily.
"Okay, Sienna, don't be a third wheel. Let's go in case people hate us." Chris pulled Sienna. David hugged Chen Zhao and left with them.
Chen Zhao and Fali sat on the sofa in silence. Suddenly, Fali stood up. "I'm going to shower."
Chen Zhao reached out and pulled Fali into his arms. "Don't. We'll shower together later."
Fali was very nervous, but Chen Zhao could not let her retreat now. He attacked first.
Fali could not withstand Chen Zhao's attacks and was defeated immediately.
However, Chen Zhao did not overdo it. After all, it was Fali's first time.
In the bathroom, Fali started a fight again.
After fighting for a while, they finally retreated.
This was the first night they slept in each other's arms. Fali leaned against Chen Zhao's chest, feeling his warmth.
It was so peaceful. Fali had never felt like this before.
The next day
Fali was full of energy and radiant.
"Chen, do you want me to take you somewhere?"
"No. Be careful when you go to work."
"I know. Goodbye."
It seemed like their conversation hadn't changed, but in fact, the feeling had.
Chen Zhao sat on the sofa alone. After Fali left, he took out his phone.
"Hey, Gerlyn."
"Chen? Strange, your tone is a little strange. Are you in love? "
It was said that a woman's intuition was the sharpest. He didn't expect Gerlyn to guess it before he even said anything.
"Yes."
"Congratulations." Gerlyn's faint laughter came from the other end of the phone. She sincerely wished him well.
"Thank you," Chen Zhao replied indifferently. "When are you going back to Los Angeles?"
"I may not return to Los Angeles. I plan to join the San Francisco Police Department."
"I see."
"I still have work to do. That's all for now."
"Alright, you're busy. Bye."
"Goodbye …"
Since he had confirmed his feelings for Fali, it was time to cut off their past relationships.
Reality was different from novels. Not many women could tolerate their boyfriends running amok outside.
It was the same as how Chen Zhao couldn't tolerate his woman fooling around outside.
It would be good for everyone to sort out their past relationships.
Just then, Chen Zhao's phone rang. It was Morgery.
"Chen, do you have time?"
"What?"
"You promised me that you would cure my baldness."
"Fine. Where are you?"
"At your door."
Chen Zhao walked out and saw Morgery's car. Morgery saw the family behind Chen Zhao.
"Chen, what are those two? Don't tell me they're from Alaska. They're definitely not from Alaska. "
"They're whatever you think they are."
"Don't tell me they're coming too. My car can't fit them."
"Not them, but you. Since you're already at my door, of course you can go directly to my house for treatment."
"Fine."
Morgery followed Chen Zhao into the house, somewhat curious.
"Chen, your house is different from what I imagined."
"What's different?"
"It's not the smell of medicine that I thought it would be. It doesn't look like a family with a bunch of pets either. It's messy and tidy. I used to have a dog, but that bastard messed up my house."
"It's simple. If my dog dares to be rude in my house, I'll beat him up."
Chen Zhao was about to treat Morgery when he heard Azina's voice from outside.
Azina saw that the door wasn't locked, so she called from outside and pushed the door open.
"Chen, you're home."
"If you want to play with Black Ma and White Ma, they're in the yard. White Ma's injured and can't run around. I'm busy. You go."
"Oh, okay."
Chen Zhao had treated Morgery a few times, so Morgery trusted him a lot.
However, Chen Zhao saw that after Morgery took off his clothes, there was a gun hidden in them. His face darkened.
"Morgery, if you bring a gun to my house again, I'll kick you out."
"I'm not guarding against you. I just have too many enemies. If I don't bring a gun, I don't feel safe."
"Then I'll go to your house next time."
"Next time?"
"Of course. Do you think it's that easy to treat hair loss?"
"How long will it take?"
"About a month. Contact me once a week."
"Okay. How much?"
"Two thousand dollars for one treatment."
"Take it." Morgery was always straightforward when it came to paying. "Oh, last time you said you wanted to find a way to buy drugs on the black market. I'll give you a call. Tell him I introduced you."
"Okay, thanks."
Not long after Morgery left, Deon Slote came to visit.
"Chen, I'm leaving my position as mayor next week. What do you think? If you don't make a decision soon, I can't guarantee that you'll be able to buy that piece of land by the time I step down as the mayor. At least, I'm afraid you won't be able to buy it at the price I'm offering. "
Chen Zhao thought about it and finally made his decision. "Okay, I'll buy it."
"When are you free?"
"Best if now. I have something to do later."
"Sure."
Chen Zhao happened to have the $500,000 check that Ethan had given him. Since he had money in his pocket, he might as well be straightforward.
The procedure was simple. He just had to sign the land purchase agreement, notarize it, and pay the deposit.
The entire procedure took less than an hour.
After completing the procedures, Chen Zhao was relieved.
Then, he went to the fitness center for combat classes.
"Chen," Gaia asked curiously, "I heard that you encountered a storm at sea yesterday?"
"Who told you that?"
"The Coast Guard. My former student worked there. I saw your photo with a girl reported to the Coast Guard. Yesterday, at least a hundred search and rescue boats participated in the search and rescue."
"Yes, but I still came back safe and sound," Chen Zhao said.
"It's good that you're back. How are you now?"
"Not bad."
Just then, Chen Zhao's phone rang. "Answer it."
"Help … Chen, come quickly."
Hearing the ghostly wails, Chen Zhao's face darkened.
