Chapter 2000
On this night, Joyce settled Chinn, while Luthermunicated with Felix over the phone about the
shooting range.
Although the Saunders family''s shooting range had been abandoned for a long time, all the facilities
were still there, just needing a bit of maintenance.
Luther asked over the phone, "Felix, I remember your family has many rare and valuable firearms in
their collection..."
Before Luther could finish his sentence, Felix immediately eximed, "Hey, Luther, you''re really
pushing your luck! The shooting range has already been given to you! You''re still eyeing the
firearms in my house?!"
"What''s the use of keeping them? It''s a waste of resources. They would serve me better," Luther
shamelessly replied.
"Who said I don''t need them? Vicki in my family is no slouch in marksmanship," Felix argued.
Luther raised an eyebrow and said, "Look at you being so stingy. Since you didn''t ask for all of
them, keep a few for Vicki and give the rest to me. My wife Joyce and our four children, with Joyce''s
good gic makeup, both Andres and Alisha want to practice shooting. In the future, together with
Wilson and Cullen, they will all be excellent marksmen. I need them more than you."
"I..." Felix appeared extremely speechless on the phone and couldn''t find the right words.
At this moment, the phone was snatched by Vicki.
"Mr. Warner, take all those firearms and weapons. I don''t need them. Collectors'' edition handguns
are not practical for me. If I need to use them, I prefer rifles, AKs, or M416," Vicki continued.
"Alright, thank you," Luther chuckled softly.
Vicki continued, "Mr. Warner, we''ve been quite busy recently, and after Wilson and Cullene
home, Felix and I haven''t checked on them. Thest time we saw them was in the hospital''s
incubator. When can we set a time to visit your house? See how Joyce is doing?"
"She''s recovering well, don''t worry. I''ll take good care of her. As for Wilson and Cullen, you should
have received the invitation. In a few days, the wedding and the full moon banquet will be held
together. You muste," Luther replied.
"Of course. I''m sure you''re busy preparingtely. We won''t disturb you. See you at the wedding,"
Vicki said.
At this point, Joyce came into the room and heard that Luther was on the phone. She asked, "Who
are you talking to?"
Luther simply handed her the phone, "Vicki. She''s asking about you."
Joyce took the phone from Luther''s hand and said, "Vicki, don''t worry about me. I saw you in the
hospitalst time, and your belly has grown. How are you feeling?"
Vickiughed, "It''s okay, carrying around this extra weight every day. It''s a bit bothersome, not very
convenient, but bearable."
Felix''s dissatisfied voice came through the phone, "That''s our son, what do you mean by ''extra
weight''?"
Vicki shot back, "You try being pregnant! Is that not inconvenient? Many restrictions - no smoking,
no drinking, no staying upte, can''t run around, and even what I eat has to be regted. You''re
practically having me under 24-hour surveince! Actually, it''s almost the same, because no matter
where I go, you have to follow me."
Felix gritted his teeth and said, "Vicki, these are the bare minimum, aren''t they?"
Joyce felt like her ears were about to explode, listening to them argue over the phone. She found it
quite ridiculous.
Vicki continued, "Felix, I''m just pregnant! Not in jail! Can you please be reasonable?! If you keep
this up, who would dare to give you a second or third child? Do you even want daughters?"
This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.
Felix didn''t back down, "Of course I want to! But please, get through the current pregnancy safely.
I''m pleading with you, okay? Stop fussing around."
"How am I fussing around? I''m working normally," Vicki raised her voice and got angry.
Joyce felt something was wrong and quickly intervened, "Stop, stop arguing. I understand both of
your feelings. Vicki, please don''t be upset. I''m also in a simr situation now, Luther watches me like
a hawk, it''s been almost a month and I haven''t been out much. I feel like I''m going to mold away."
Vicki finally stopped, "Really, Joyce, are you in a simr situation? Just because, they want you to
observe the traditional postnatal custom?"
"Um, did I make you feel better by saying that?" Joyce smiled, "Actually, I''m worse off. Luther is
stricter than Felix by several times. I''m going crazy because of him. Even though Xiao Shao didn''t
do anything wrong, please don''t make him suffer."
Luther red at Joyce, this was worse off? Clearly, he was doing it for her own good. How was he
torturing her?
Felix added from the phone, "It''s still Joyce making sense. I''ll give you the guns since you helped
me speak up."
"What guns?" Joyce was puzzled, she hadn''t heard Luther''s conversation with Felix before.
"Huh, Luther wants me to give you all the limited edition handguns from our collection, don''t you
know? Wasn''t that what you wanted?" Felix asked, puzzled.
Joyce gave Luther a sideways nce, "It''s not right to take advantage of others. You didn''t collect
these before, how can you take all of someone else''s collection?"
Luther "tch"ed, "It''s a waste to leave them with him. Ye Gong likes dragons. I might as well give
them all to my wife."
"Hey, you''ve gone too far! It''s one thing to give a gift, but you not only took them but also mocked
me," Felixined.
"Brother Xiao, I really don''t need them. I''m fine, you don''t have to listen to him. Even though the
children want to learn shooting recently, the guns used on the shooting range are different from real
guns," Joyce quickly said.
"Forget it, sister-inw. I sincerely want to give them to you. Indeed, they were all from the
Saunders family''s previous collection, and they''re not used now. Good things can only serve their
purpose when given to someone who knows how to use them," Felix said generously, "I was just
joking with Luther, don''t mind him."
Vicki cleared her throat at this time, "Joyce, I know you two have been quite busytely. At the
wedding, I''ll go see Wilson and Cullen. When I see that you''ve both resolved all your problems and
Mr. Warner''s poison has been dispelled, I''ll be truly happy for you."
Joyce knew they didn''t know about the incident with Grayson, a near miss disaster.
She also didn''t n to drag them into new whirpools.
So she said seriously, "Vicki, take care of the child in your belly. Now that your belly is big, your
body will get heavier day by day. There are indeed many things to pay attention to. When we meet,
I''ll give you some experience. You''re going to be a mother, it''s only natural for Xiao Shao to be
nervous."
Vicki impatiently replied, "Got it, even you''re nagging at me."
Joyce coughed twice, "Thanks for the news about the shooting range. I''ll hang up now, let''s talk
later."
"Okay, bye," Vicki hung up the phone.
When Joyce returned the phone to Luther, she surreptitiously nced at him. It seemed that men
are all equally nervous about their pregnant wives. She shouldn''t provoke him, and should just
comply with him.
She hugged him and coquettishly said, "Let''s rest early."
Luther hugged her back and kissed her forehead, "Hmm, okay."
