The Juggernaut in the comic world

Chapter 23 Adoption
What Trish Edmonds meant was the same as what Colleen said. Although Mark and Ash belonged to the relationship between uncle and niece, as a minor, Mark wanted to adopt her after he became an adult.

In addition, he must have a stable job, and a...

Harmonious family.

Let alone a stable job and a harmonious family.

In Mi Lijian, the legal age of adulthood is 22 years old, that is to say, the fastest time for him to successfully adopt Ai Xi is six or seven years later.

Realizing the difficulty, Mark's complexion became a little ugly. It was absolutely impossible for him to hand over Ashe to a strange family for seven years.

So besides this method, is there any other way?
Have!
But neither is legal.

Mark felt a little emotional in his heart.

Judging from the current situation, if it is not legal, it is not legal. It is nothing more than a little more trouble, as long as Ashe is not allowed to leave.

Just when Mark sat down to make a decision, Tracy Edmonds, who learned about the recent encounters with Mark's family during the investigation, suddenly spoke.

She looked at the frustrated Mark, hesitated for a while, then made a faint decision in her heart, and then said, "If... I mean, if it's convenient for you, I'd like to visit your house later."

Hearing this, Mark raised his head instantly.

Trish Edmonds' cheeks flushed slightly after being watched, she trimmed her temples, and looked at Mark firmly.

The eyes of the two intersected, and after a while, Max nodded his head: "Okay."

After getting Mark's consent, Tracy Edmonds explained to the police station, and then the two left the police station.

On the way, the two detoured to Ashe's original home, took Mr. Muppet from the house, and found a lock changer to change the locks of the house again.

During this period, Lloyd also called to inquire about the situation, but Tracy Edmonds was by his side at the time. In order not to arouse suspicion, Mark asked him to deal with his own affairs first, and the two would contact later.

Lloyd said no problem.

After finishing everything, Tracy Edmonds went around to the mall to buy a Barbie doll for Ash, and then the two rushed home.

After arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Ashe who heard the movement came up to meet her.

Strange, who was playing with her, followed behind with a worried expression on his face, but when he found out that it was Mark who had returned, he stopped in his tracks.

When he came close, Ash happily took over Mr. Muppet, and then poked his head out to look behind Mark, asking while asking, "Uncle, why did you come back alone? Where's Grandpa?"

Hearing Ai Xi's question, Mark paused in his heart, and said nervously, "Grand... Grandpa? He has something to do, he went to a far away place, and he won't be back until some time later."

"Oh."

Ashe responded in a low voice, then lowered her head, looking very disappointed.

While Ashe was answering, Mark was also secretly observing the reaction of Tracy Edmonds next to him.

Obviously, Mark's worries are unnecessary.

Trish Edmonds didn't think much about it, she knew the fact that Joe had died, and she only regarded Ashe's inquiry as a child who missed Joe too much.

As for Mark?

Don't adults fool children like this?

I saw Tracy Edmonds squatting down naturally, then took out the Barbie doll I bought at the mall from behind, shook it in front of Ashe, and handed it over with a smile: "kid , Your name is Ash, right? My name is Tracy Edmonds, and this is a gift from our first meeting."

Seeing the cute Barbie doll, Ashe obviously moved a little. She stretched out her hand, but stopped halfway.

Looking at Aishina's questioning eyes, Mark rubbed her head fondly, and said, "Take it, Aunt Tracy specially went to the mall and carefully selected it for you."

"Ah."

"Thank you auntie!"

Ashe nodded obediently, thanked her first, and then took the Barbie doll.

The polite and lovely Ashe made Tracy Edmonds feel good. She hugged her subconsciously, kissed her forehead dotingly, and said with a smile: "So sensible! Auntie, may I ask what game Little Ashe is playing now?" Yeah? Take Auntie to play together, okay?"

"it is good!"

Ashe led Trish Edmonds to the swing in the yard.

Strange, who came after him, hurried out of the way, came to Mark's side in a few steps, turned Mark with his arm, and smiled "Hey hey": "Amazing! Where did you find such a big... big man?" Beautiful?"

Afterwards, Strange looked out of the yard again, wondering: "By the way, where is Lloyd? Didn't he go out with you? Where is he now?"

Mark lowered his voice when he heard the words, and replied: "We encountered some unexpected things when we arrived at Ashe's house, and then went to the police station."

As he said that, Mark looked up and glanced in the direction of Tracy Edmonds, and introduced: "Her name is Tracy Edmonds, she is a policeman. After learning about my family, she asked to come and have a look."

"As for Lloyd..."

Speaking of this, Mark paused, and said seriously: "Don't say anything about Lloyd, especially don't let it slip in front of Officer Tracy. Remember to tell Aunt Colleen about it later."

Hearing Mark's explanation, Strange stroked his chin and pondered for a while, then said with suspicion of conspiracy theory: "I knew that Lloyd must be not simple, cousin? How can there be such a good-looking man in this world?" The same cousin? You really lied to me earlier."

"..."

Mark's face darkened when he heard this, and he frowned and said, "Do you remember what I said?"

"Of course!"

Strange quickly said, "I'll go in and tell my mom right now."

"call!"

Seeing that Strange agreed, Mark breathed a sigh of relief, pondered for a while, and added: "Well, about Lloyd, I will explain it to you after Officer Tracy leaves. "

"no problem!"

Strange entered the room with an "ok" gesture.

……

Time always passes quickly inadvertently.

When Tracy Edmonds, who was playing with Ashe, heard Mark calling them to eat, she realized that it was six o'clock in the afternoon before she knew it.

Although it was still dark in Missouri at this time, the air was a bit more tacky with cooking smoke.

After entering the room, Colleen prepared a large table of delicacies, and Ashe saw that she was greedy. She seemed to like Tracy Edmonds very much, and she insisted on sitting with her at the table.
