015: He knows the whole picture_1
Returning home.
Kallie instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner, albeit quite late for that, it could be considered supper by now.
Amelia Cobb stood in the living room, fixing her gaze on the design of the carpet for quite a long time, her thoughts kept wandering.
If William Cobb knew about the plane crash, he must also be quite clear about the whole story.
So why, has the situation turned into a situation that wasn't publicly announced?
If these negotiations were deliberately sabotaged by a foreign country, the information should have been circulated by now.
The truth has been revealed, yet it continues to be hidden.
Could there be hidden details in the forest?
"Amelia, have some water." As Kallie saw Amelia unmoving, she handed her a cup.
Amelia snapped back to the present and accepted the cup.
At this point, Jaso Cobb had changed his clothes and come down. Seeing Kallie's still very upset face, he could not help but say, "After all, dad and Grandpa are father and son. Even if the family has been split, this fact remains, mom."
"I don't want to hear that," Kallie's tone is very firm, so firm that Jaso didn't have a chance to speak further.
Jaso cast a pleading look at Amelia. He probably didn't want to see their parents quarrel over this. But Amelia knew nothing.
She could only hold the cup and stare blankly at Jaso.
"I'll go up first," Amelia escaped the scene,
fearing that if she stayed too long, the truth would be exposed.
When William came home, everyone was already asleep.
He walked up the stairs slowly, reached out to open the door, but it was locked from the inside.
He gently knocked on the door: "Kallie."
He called softly a few times, but no one responded.
Finally, a sigh of helplessness echoed in the hallway, and he turned and entered the study.
The next morning, when Amelia came downstairs, the Cobb family members were already seated downstairs.
Kallie invited her to breakfast, Jaso, holding his mobile phone, sat at the dining table reading news, but there was no sign of William.
"Where is dad?" She asked with curiousity.
Kallie pulled her to sit down: "Don't worry about him."
Jaso wanted to say something, but shut up when he caught Kallie's gaze.
A few minutes later, when William came downstairs and saw his wife and children having a warm meal, he asked in surprise as he approached the dining table, "What about my breakfast?"
Kallie sipped the milk, her straight back gave a sense of cold pride.
Obviously, she had no intention of responding to William's words. Jaso didn't dare to speak either.
Amelia? Even less so.
If it weren't necessary, she wouldn't dare to say a word extra. In an ordinary household, it wouldn't be a problem if she slipped up, but in the Cobb household, it wouldn't end well.
"Kallie....," William softly called.
Kallie still remained silent.
"Kallie————."
"Eat quickly, after eating, those who need to go to school, go to school, those who need to go to work, go to work."
"Isn't this milk?" Jaso picked up a cup and took a sip, assuming it was milk, but it turned out to be milk.
"Drink it or get out," Kallie was furious hearing the word 'milk', and her glare made Jaso shudder.
Kallie Rayno, who has been influenced by the family since childhood, is a genuine lady from an educational family.
Both parents are university professors, and the smell of the scholarly family is ingrained in her bones.
The impression she gives off is gentle.
However, this woman, who has been gentle for many years, has been frequently raging on the edge.
"Amelia is allergic to milk, from now on, milk will no longer appear in the house. If you can't adapt, move back to your own apartment," William's voice was still gentle, with nobody looking out for him, he went into the kitchen and brought out his own breakfast.
Jaso looked at Amelia with confusion, "When did Amelia develop a milk allergy? Hasn't it always been non-existent?"
"Just these few days, the doctor said it was because of antibodies," Amelia tried to explain as she nibbled on her bread.
"Dad, I need some material in a bit, can I borrow your computer?"
William looked up at Amelia, "Where's Amelia's computer?"
"It's broken," Amelia pursed her lips.
"Then you can use daddy's for now."
"Alright," Amelia nodded happily.
"Then I'll go up first, I need to finish it early and go to school."
"Go ahead!"
In the second-floor study, Amelia pulled open the swivel chair and sat down, she anxiously opened William's computer, first checked his folders but found nothing relevant.
Then, she opened his work email.
When she saw the words 'enter password', Amelia was almost ready to curse.
This family, each has their own secrets. Amelia's computer, phone, all had passwords.
And so did William.
Looking at the computer's 'enter password' interface, Amelia scratched her head.
She closed her eyes. Her slender fingers rhythmically tapped on the desktop from left to right, this was a habit when she needed to think.
People change, but habits are hard to change.
All of a sudden, she remembered something. William and Kallie have a good relationship, there should be some crossover of information.
So, she entered the first letters of both their names on the keyboard, then... it opened.
A feeling of jubilation rushed over her. She clicked open the email and quickly skimmed through the documents until she saw an email sent on May 9th titled 'Black Box Content of Plane Crash.'
"Amelia————."
Just as she was about to open it, William's voice echoed through the hallway.
"Have you finished?" His voice gradually approached.
Amelia scrambled to exit the email and opened up Google.
Her heart pounded in her chest like a drum.
"Done."
"Perfect, Daddy's going to the pavilion."
"Take care on the road, dad," Amelia pretended to be obedient.
William reached out and pat her head, bending down to look at Amelia, "Would you mind doing me a favor?"
"What favor?"
"Help me talk to your mother," William's tone was very soft.
If Amelia had seen this moment in her past life, she would definitely have been envious of Kallie. Perhaps she had seen too many unhappy marriages.
So now, seeing a happy marriage, it seemed especially dazzling.
Amelia tilted her head: "What's the benefit for me?"
"What would Amelia like?"
Amelia thought for a moment, then looked at William as if she'd suddenly had a revelation, "I want to take a look at your workplace."
"Just this?" William was taken aback.
Amelia nodded.
William stretched out his hand. After hesitating for a bit, Amelia extended her hand to shake, "As long as you can convince mom, everything's negotiable."
Having seen the blanket on the sofa when she entered, and seeing the stubble on William's chin, it wasn't hard to guess what had happened. Smiling at William, Amelia said, "Remember to shave when you go out, otherwise your colleagues will know you slept on the couch last night."
William was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. He patted Amelia's head and said, "You're quite a smart one! Off you go! Your older brother is downstairs waiting to take you to school."
When Amelia left the study, her legs were shaking. She leaned against the wall for support and managed to stand up.
So........William knows everything about the incident.
