Chapter 55 Alertness

 Pastor Jeff, accompanied by his wife, got out of the red sports car and greeted everyone with a smile.

 Compared to Pastor Jeff's enthusiasm, Serena next to him seemed much "cold".

 Her emotionless eyes gave people a strong sense of distance.

 Today, Serena is still wearing a bright red high-slit long skirt, a red wide-brimmed hat, and a black veil on her face.

 There is a hint of elegance in the beauty.

 Compared to the women present, Serena looked more like a "lady" who came from a big city.

 Seeing the two people walking arm in arm, Mary sighed: "They look really in love."

 On the side, George complained sourly: "Pastor Jeff looks more like a 'butler' than a husband..." "

 Jeff, who was already ordinary-looking, looked even more ordinary and humble against the backdrop of his beautiful wife.

 What George wanted to express was that Pastor Jeff and his wife were not a good match at all.

 Of course, it is unknown whether men's jealousy, envy, and other emotions are at work.

 "George~" As a devout believer, Mary stopped her husband's lies to Pastor Jeff in time.

 When George was feeling resentful, Grandma Connie nodded to him and whispered encouragement: "George, this time, I agree with your opinion."

 This was the first time that the two of them reached a consensus on the same matter.

 Not long after, Pastor Jeff took his wife's hand and sat on the main seat.

 As the time for prayer before meals came, everyone held hands and closed their eyes.

 During the prayer, Pastor Jeff first thanked everyone for coming and then thanked Mary for preparing food for everyone... Finally, he did not forget to mention the credit of Lina's family for providing the venue for everyone.

 It can be seen from this that Pastor Jeff is a very gentle man.

 During the long prayer time, Mike always felt like someone was "staring" at him.

 Immediately, he suddenly opened his eyes and met a pair of "greedy" eyes.

 Serena, who was sitting opposite, didn't feel embarrassed even if she was caught peeping. The corners of her mouth were slightly raised into a charming smile.

 This kind of invisible provocation can stir people's hearts the most.

 It's just that this beautiful woman has never given Mike the best feeling. The last time he was in front of Cooper's house, Mike found that the other party was observing him consciously or unconsciously.

 It was a look at prey.

 In addition, Mike could feel that Pastor Jeff's wife was definitely not as simple as she seemed on the surface.

 This also led Mike to label the other party as "troublesome" and "dangerous".

 After some thought, Mike nodded politely to meet Serena's gaze, trying not to arouse the other party's resentment. Then, he naturally turned his head to the side.

 The attitude is clear, that is, the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river.

 At this time, with the sound of "Amen~", Pastor Jeff's pre-meal prayer ended.

 Because there are children, the dining atmosphere is very lively.

 At this time, George was also carrying his own secret barbecue, selling it to everyone around the table, and then receiving praise from others.

 As for Mike, who was eating the delicious food in front of him, he would always glance towards the opposite side unconsciously due to his vigilance.

 After careful observation, Mike discovered that the elegant Serena opposite her would taste the drinks in front of her from time to time, but she would not move the food on the plate.

 This weird behavior also made Mike more certain that the other party was definitely not an ordinary person.

 As time progressed, the banquet came to an end.

 Little George, who had a greasy mouth after eating, squeezed next to Mike and suggested in a low voice: "Mike, there are several beautiful girls over there. How about we go over and chat with them later?"

 As the saying goes: When you are full and warm, you miss others.

 Because of Mike's outstanding appearance, several young and energetic girls on one side of the dining table were also looking over. 

 Moreover, they seemed to be discussing something with each other.

 When Mike looked over, the girls lowered their heads shyly and became timid quails.

 To be honest, these girls are pretty cute, even better than they are young. But compared to Karen, Lina, and others, they are still far behind.

 Mike, who was in a state of depression, had no thoughts at all. He refused and said, "No, you can go alone. I'm going to take a nap later."

 "No, I'm a little afraid without you by my side." Little George said what was in his heart.

 In his adolescence, he may have bold ideas, but when it comes to actual actions, he appears to be very cowardly.

 Seeing Little George's appearance, Mike smiled and joked: "You are sure to come with me, can you still get a date with a girl?"

 Little George then realized that if he acted with such a handsome guy like Mike, he would definitely have No chance at all.

 After accepting the reality, he said helplessly: "Okay, I'd better go by myself."

 Next, to ensure the success rate of the action, Little George humbly asked Mike for some tips on dating girls, and then he excitedly Walking towards the girls.

 Missy, who witnessed the entire teaching process, questioned: "Mike, is the method you taught little George really useful?"

 "It's useless." Mike confessed: "I just used this method to build some confidence in him. Whether he can date a girl next depends entirely on his own performance."

 Mike knew very well that his ability to please a girl depended solely on his face. As for his skills in dating girls, what are they?

 Seeing Mike's unreliable appearance, Missy observed three seconds of silence for little George who was leaving.

 Then, as a brat, she felt happy that Mike didn't go looking for a girl.

 "Okay, you go play. I'm going to find a place to rest." Mike rubbed the little girl's hair, then found a moisture blanket and went to a shady place on the side of the hill.

 After lunch, many people, like Mike, found a quiet and cool place to take a nap.

 Of course, there are also many people gathering together in small groups, drinking beer, chatting, and exchanging feelings.

 On the side of the hillside, with the chirping of insects and birds in his ears and the breeze blowing from the mountains, Mike quickly fell asleep comfortably.

 But after a while, he was woken up by the itching feeling on his face.

 When he opened his eyes, he saw Missy squatting next to her, holding a small spike of grass in her hand.

 Seeing Mike wake up, Missy hurriedly hid her hands behind her back and showed a cute smile: "Mike, stop sleeping, come and play with me."

 This is the bad thing about children. They always appear to be very energetic at special times. abundant.

 "Don't make trouble, let me rest for a while. I'll play with you in the afternoon, okay?" Mike said in a coaxing tone.

 Seeing that Mike was really not in the mood to play around, Missy said wisely: "Okay, remember to play with me in the afternoon."

 Then, after getting Mike's assurance, Missy went elsewhere with satisfaction and started talking to other people. The children played together.

 Here, Mike turned over and entered sleep time again.

 I don't know how long it took, but Mike was woken up by a faint smell.

 "Missy, stop making trouble~" Mike, who had just woken up, had not yet started to move his head. He thought it was Missy again, catching bed bugs to play tricks on him.

 However, when he waved his hand to drive her away, his fingers touched the silky silk.

 This feeling was wrong. Mike opened his eyes and saw Serena squatting next to him, looking down at him.

 This woman's tight, high-cut red skirt below outlines a perfect curve. The design of the wide shoulders and low collar at the top gives a clear view of the Grand Canyon in the center.

 Of course, these beautiful scenes were ruined by the stench lingering in the nose.

 Mike sat up quickly, leaned back slightly, and put on an innocent look on his face: "Ma'am, what's the matter?"

 At this time, he was sighing in his heart: Sure enough, this woman was eyeing him.
