The world begins with shameless people

Chapter 267 Morning at the Gallagher House

It's around three o'clock in the middle of the night.

The heat of the day disappeared, and there was a hint of coolness in the air.

In front of 2114 North Wallace Street.

Facing Ian's explanation, Fiona was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.

"Ian, I promise you, this is the only time..." After a few seconds of silence, Fiona said with pain on her face.

Ian smiled faintly and shook his head decisively, very calmly, "Fiona, don't lie to yourself. You know exactly what kind of person Lip is."

"It won't be just this one time."

"What's more, you said before that you only wanted to avoid medical expenses. Within a day, you agreed with Lipzuosi again. This is the second time."

"That's it. I will live here for a while. It's very close anyway, so don't try to persuade me. We'll all try to live a good life."

Fiona couldn't answer.

how to answer?

What Ian said is true….

I avoided medical expenses, and I thought twice.

More importantly, deep down in her heart, Fiona actually understands that there will indeed be a next time. Lip is that kind of person. If he is as arrogant as Lip, he will definitely continue to commit crimes...

"Ian, don't be like this..." Fiona had no way to refute, so she could only plead, "Let's talk about it and we can make a deal about it."

Ian still shook his head, "Fiona, don't do this. I have already made a decision. If the situation improves in the future, I will go back."

Fiona bit her lip, heartbroken.

Time passes slowly.

Seeing that no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't persuade her, Fiona had no choice but to give up with red eyes, holding back tears and said, "I'll take Liam back."

Ian nodded, did not insist, and silently turned back to the house. Soon, he picked up Liam, who was still sleeping, and handed Liam to Fiona.

Fiona hugged Liam and hesitated for a while, but finally walked home without saying anything to Ian.

Ian watched Fiona's back for a few seconds, sighed silently, went back to the house again, lay down on the bed, took a deep breath, forced himself not to think about how uncomfortable Fiona was, closed his eyes, and went to sleep.

The Gallaghers.

"Home, sweet home!" Fiona muttered to herself as she walked into the living room and looked at everything that was familiar and no longer familiar. She felt extremely ironic, and immediately after, tears burst down the bank and rained down.

A few minutes later.

Using her strength, she first moved the crib to her room, and then gently put Liam in. After doing all this, Fiona instantly became weak and fell onto the bed.

He fell onto the bed, feeling sleepy and exhausted almost immediately.

It didn't take more than a minute.

Fiona fell asleep as if in a coma.

Before I knew it, it was dawn.

The sun shines down.

This morning, the Gallagher family was very quiet without the usual noise.

Fiona was still asleep.

But Liam was already awake, standing in his cradle, making a fuss.

Fiona was too fast asleep to hear and continued sleeping until Liam let out a wail.

The wails became louder and louder. Fiona was finally awakened. She opened her eyes in a daze and waited for a few seconds. Then, realizing what was going on, she dragged her heavy body and got up to help her. Yam changes diapers and prepares breakfast for Liam.

2114 North Wallace Street.

Peggy, Ian, and Carl are having breakfast.

"So, only Fiona and Liam live in that house now?" Karl asked suddenly while eating.

Ian's mind was a little confused. Hearing this, he was slightly stunned and said, "Maybe Frank."

"Then the house will be very empty," Karl said matter-of-factly, without any other meaning.

Ian knew that Karl's words never had any deep meaning and only needed to be understood literally, so he smiled lightly and said, "Yeah."

"If only it had been this empty earlier," Carl said, "I could have had my own room a few years earlier."

"Yes," Ian replied with some emotion.

The fact is that for all his life, Ian had never had his own room before last night.

Karl said nothing more and concentrated on eating breakfast.

Peggy looked at Carl with a smile, then moved her eyes, her eyes fell on Ian, and asked with a smile, "Ian, what are your plans next? Go to college, or not?"

Ian shook his head, "My academic performance is not good, I will definitely not be able to go to a good university, so let's forget it."

Peggy has no feelings about whether her child will go to college. "Then after you graduate from high school, you can officially work. Do you have any skills that you are good at?"

This is a bit heartbreaking.

What is Ian good at?

After staying in ROTC for so long, he is good at being a soldier and good at rushing to the battlefield and being cannon fodder for the United States.

However, Ian insists on the unrealistic desire to be an officer.

Are there any other skills you are good at?

"It seems not..." Ian replied with a slightly bitter expression.

Peggy thought for a while, "There is still some time to explore."

"Yeah," Ian responded, but in fact, he was not interested at all.

Today, Ian is in a very confused stage, and he doesn't even know what he wants to do.

Although, this is normal. After all, at this age, the future is still very far away.

Peggy said no more

The three of them finished their breakfast quickly.

Ian checked the time and without delay, stood up and prepared to leave, "I'll go back and see Fiona."

Karl heard it and hesitated for a moment, "I'll go with you. I haven't seen Fiona for a long time."

"Okay," Ian agreed simply.

Not long after, the two arrived at the door of Gallagher's house.

Ian thought for a moment and chose to knock on the door.

dong dong dong~~

Fiona was feeding Liam breakfast with a confused look on her face and very sleepy. She was a little surprised when she heard a knock on the door. She didn't expect anyone to knock on the door so early now. Fiona stood up, walked a few steps, and opened the door.

A quick look at Ian and Carl, especially Carl...

moment.

Fiona's spirit was shaken, and the confusion on her face quickly disappeared. Then, she smiled really happily, "Ian, Carl!"

Ian nodded slightly, "Why are you up so early? Is Liam making a noise?"

Karl, as always, just grinned and walked into the house.

Soon.

in the living room.

Fiona happily fed Liam breakfast and chattered, unable to stop talking to Ian and Carl.

Fiona loved it, even though Ian and Carl could barely get a word in.

"Karl, I'll find a way to tidy up a room for you, just under the stairs on the first floor, or in the basement. Do you think it's okay? I promise to tidy it up well..."

Seeing Karl again and talking to Karl as usual, Fiona felt much better, and she rekindled the hope of persuading Karl to come back.

Karl was not intelligent enough to understand the weirdness behind these words.

Ian understands.

So Ian couldn't help but laugh.

Debbie won't be home for the next year, but Fiona makes no mention of letting Carl stay in Debbie's room.

This is so interesting.

Karl was not interested. He shook his head and refused like a normal person, "No, it's nice and comfortable for me to live there."

Fiona refused to give up and continued to persuade.

Ian listened and couldn't listen anymore. He couldn't help but make a sound. He interrupted Fiona and said, "Fiona, stop talking now and take a closer look at Karl."

The words stopped suddenly, Fiona didn't understand the meaning of Ian's words, "?????"

Ian smiled and explained, "Look at the changes in Carl."

Karl didn't feel that there had been any change in himself, and looked at Ian in confusion.

Fiona blinked her eyes and moved her mouth, but in the end she remained silent. She just obeyed the instructions and looked at Karl.

New clothes, new shoes...

The whole person is clean...

The face is rosy...

I seem to have gained a little weight...

After noticing these changes in Karl one after another, Fiona's head exploded, and she suddenly understood what Ian wanted to express.

After Carl left the Gallagher house, he was obviously better off and seemed much happier.

At this moment, Fiona's mood was simply indescribably complicated.

Are you trying to persuade Karl to come back?

Fiona knew she shouldn't persuade her, after all, Karl was better now, but when she thought of her family being separated...

That's family!

Looking at the confusion on Fiona's face, Ian smiled and said, "Fiona, this is a good thing. It is a good thing for Karl, for me, and even for you."

"Don't worry about this, we just live next door."

"I can still take care of Liam at night."

Fiona heard clearly, but was speechless.

Too many things happened yesterday, and there was no time to think about Liam's problem.

today……

Liam's problems manifested themselves.

This summer, without Debbie, Ian has to work during the day, he has to work the night shift, and he has to rest during the day. Carl can't take care of Liam at all. Lip is not here. Even if he comes back, he will have to recover for a long time...

What about Liam?

There are too many difficulties...

At this moment, Fiona really wanted to give up, go to hell, and not care about anything!

Unfortunately, the urge to give up only existed for a moment.

Fiona sniffed, looked at Karl, thought about it again, and finally stopped trying to persuade him. She stretched out her hand to rub Karl's head and forced a smile, "You have to come back often."

Karl didn't quite understand what was going on now, but he still nodded, "Of course."

Fiona heard it, felt a little relieved, and then turned towards Ian.

Unlike Carl, Ian is no longer young and will be an adult in a few years...

Fiona really didn't know what to say, so she thought about it again and again, "Are you sure you won't live here for the time being?"

Ian didn't reply and just nodded.

Fiona's heart tightened.

What can be done?

"You have to help look after Liam, I can't do that on my own," Fiona said.

"Okay, I can take care of it after get off work," Ian replied.

Can't Ian look after Liam while he's at work?

Actually you can.

But Ian didn't want to.

Liam plays a very small role in Ian's life.
