America's King of Poetry

Chapter 38

It was past two o'clock in the morning when Abramo arrived home.

He parked the car in the garage, and there was complete silence around him.

Heaving a sigh of relief, Abramo sat in the car for a while before opening the door and coming out. He came to the gate and took out the key to open the door, making as little noise as possible.He took off his alcohol-stained coat and threw it on the sofa, kicked off his shoes, and went upstairs to the bedroom carefully with bare feet.

The lights at home were all turned off, and he quietly opened the bedroom door. Through the moonlight outside the window, he saw his wife Connie lying on her side on the bed with her back to the door, and she seemed to be asleep.

Abramo tiptoed into the room and closed the door, then slowly moved to the side of the bed, gently lifted the quilt, and sat on the bed.At this moment, he really felt that his bed was too soft, and when he sat on it, he sank a piece.

Finally lying down without making any noise, Abramo let out a long sigh of relief, being the boss is not easy.

If it wasn't for Arthur tonight, Abramo wouldn't have dared to go to Luciano's restaurant for this grand banquet. Fortunately, everything went quite smoothly.He continued to retain Jackie's trust, and successfully eased the relationship with several other families. At least on the surface, there would be no more conflicts between them.

He talked a lot with Jackie in the amusement park. Arthur was right, the more enemies he had, the closer he was to understanding him.Jackie is a formidable opponent. Without Arthur and his spiritual connection, Abramo thinks that he might not have the courage to fight against Jackie.Even if he wanted to kill himself, at least he could guarantee the safety of his wife and children.

Abramo closed his eyes after thinking about it, sleepiness hit his forehead, and he was about to fall asleep when a voice suddenly came from his ear.

"Luca, you're back."

It was the voice of his wife Connie, and Abramo's hairs stood on end. It turned out that she was not asleep!

With a "click", the bedside lamp was turned on, and the dazzling light forced Abramo to reopen his heavy eyelids.He frowned, covered his face with his hands, and complained: "Connie, go to sleep Connie, it's so late."

Of course Connie couldn't sleep, she said angrily: "You know it's so late, don't you know how to call back? Let me and the child wait for you at home. Where did you go to fool around again? Why can't you spend more time with your family? Sometimes I really hope that someone will kill you all the time, so that you will cherish the time with your family."

Some time ago, when Abramo was targeted by the three major families, it was the time when he cared the most about his family.

"Please, don't talk stupidly, Connie, go to sleep, I didn't go out to fool around, I went to talk about business matters."

"Business, business, who always talks about business in the early morning, can't you talk about business during working hours?"

"Hey, you know what I do!"

Abramo knew he couldn't sleep, so he could only sit up from the bed and explain to his wife.He did have women outside in the past. Since Vera's death, he has no interest in courting women, and concentrates on various family affairs, especially gambling.He had access to the portion of cake that Jackie had given him, and he knew he was going to eat them all one day.

Connie has only one daughter to accompany her since her son went to college, leaving a lot of energy free.Women will become sensitive once they are free, and Connie is almost 40 years old, so her temper naturally becomes weird, and she is always suspicious of Abramo.

No matter how Abramo explained, Connie couldn't let go if she couldn't hear the answer she wanted to hear.But if she hears the answer she wants to hear, the result will only be worse.Finally, she couldn't help but asked, "Luka, tell me the truth, do you have a woman outside?"

Abramo rolled his eyes, he put his arms around Connie, and responded with the most sincere voice: "I don't have any other women, only you, only you!"

Connie still had doubts in her eyes, "Then you have a man?"

Abramo's mind was about to explode. He didn't know what to say about what was going on.

"Daughter said, more than once I saw you with a young man with dark hair, and Paula said he was very handsome!"

After finishing the calf, Abramo understood. Paula must have seen him when he saw Arthur.In addition to that Via Crucifixion, there was another time when Paula was sent to class, and he met Arthur who came to New Jersey in the car, and told him that the police had not found any information about Anna.Hunter checked all the girls of similar age in the database, and there was no one who looked like Anna.

"Connie, you misunderstood. He is a business partner of mine, a very, very important friend. You can joke about other things, but you can't joke about this. Connie, look at me, Connie!" Abramo didn't want Connie to get nervous and misunderstand Arthur. He bent Connie's shoulders, and his wolf-like eyes were fixed on Connie. "If you have a chance, invite him to our house for dinner, and meet him. He is an amazing young man."

Only then did Connie relax, convinced that her husband was not gay.

And Abramo did have the idea of ​​inviting Arthur to have a meal at home, because Jackie seemed to have the intention of getting close to Arthur.

"Go to sleep, it's really getting late, go to sleep." After calming down his wife's emotions, Abramo turned off the light and lay down to go to bed.

"Luka...you haven't seen your mother for a long time..."

"I gave her money."

"I mean you should go see her."

"I'm not going to see her, stop talking about God, stop talking, go to sleep."

……

It was early morning when Russell got home, and he wanted to send Montolo and Dior back first.

Neither of these fat guys would drive themselves, and sat in Russell's Camry feeling like they were going to flatten the tires.

Take out the key to enter the door, turn on the light, the house is very clean, Flo has been here today.There is a woman in the family who really feels different, neat and clean, and there is a faint fragrance.There was a note on the table, and Flo wrote, there are corn tortillas and beef in the refrigerator, remember to eat them or it will spoil.

Opening the door, Anna lay sprawled on the newly purchased small bed, sleeping very soundly.She has a lovely face like an angel, but Russell knows that several dogs have died nearby in the month she has been here.He was either hit by a car or fell into the water and drowned.

Even so, seeing her face made Russell feel relieved.

Perhaps, gravediggers should be with the god of death.

Russell looked at Anna, and a thought popped into his mind, maybe he should find a woman?Such three people living together?

"Woman...woman...Mary, Mary..." The name "Mary" popped up in Russell's mind somehow, and he thought of the poem he had read again: "...we lived at the Grand Duke's house with my cousin, and he took me out sledding.

……

Early the next morning, Arthur woke up from his sleep and looked at the alarm clock beside the bed, it was already ten o'clock.

He overslept and wanted to go to work, but since he was destined to be late, he simply didn't go, and Schmidt didn't dare to say anything anyway.

Gina took the subway to go to school by herself. Recently, Arthur was busy with work and other affairs, so he might have neglected Gina.Gina didn't show her temper to Arthur like in the past, but obediently did her own thing, but she suddenly became much quieter than before.

Arthur thought to himself that Gina would ask her if something happened when she came back in the evening, seeing how preoccupied she was in the past two days.

After washing up and eating something, Arthur went out to New York Harbor to find Dior to pick up the TV.

He has been waiting for this TV for several weeks, and I heard that it is a Japanese product, Panasonic. The quality of Japanese products in the 90s was quite good. It was quite uncomfortable to watch life without TV, and there was no mobile phone or computer.The key point is that there is an NBA playoffs tonight, and the Knicks will play against the Nets. Arthur wants to see if the Knicks can beat the Nets by more than 10 points.

Riding a motorcycle, he arrived at the unloading dock near Hudson Park. This is Dior's territory, and many goods have to pass through his hands.It is a common method to keep a little of the good things, and all freight companies know in their hearts that this is a transportation loss and is included in the cost.Otherwise, the gang will make their costs and losses even higher, and the Luciano family still has a lot of power in the dock workers' union.

The terminal is quite busy, with trucks coming in and out, containers being picked up and put down, and goods from all over the world being loaded and unloaded here.At the checkpoint, Arthur saw Dio who was sitting on the recliner inside. His fat body almost filled the entire recliner.

"Hey, it's Arthur, why did you come in person? Why don't you call me and I'll deliver what you want." Dio said politely, but he was lying on the chair and had no intention of getting up at all.

Arthur looked at the fat man with a sullen face, and didn't argue with him, and said, "I'll get the TV, and Montoro said there are still some clothes."

Dio pointed out the window and said, "In the warehouse, go and get it yourself. If it's hard to get it, you can ask someone to help you. I think you're riding a motorcycle, it's not convenient. You should buy a car. If you don't have one, I can get you one too. It's also made in Japan, hehehe."

The smile on the fat man's face was disgusting. This guy obviously didn't understand Arthur's real status in the family. It seemed that Montoro didn't make it clear to him.Like Schmidt, one day he will understand after messing with him.

Accompanied by one of Dior's men, Arthur went down to the warehouse, took a TV and two high-end shirts made in Italy, and tied them to the back seat of the motorcycle with a nylon rope, looking really chilling.Motorcycles are cool, Arthur thought, but he really needs a car.

"Dior." Before parting, Arthur asked the fat man, "Are you familiar with Jackie?"

Dio was taken aback by Arthur's question. He tied his tongue a few times, sat up from the chair suddenly, and said, "What do you mean by asking this? Watch your mouth, kid."

Arthur smiled, got on his motorcycle and left.
