"...Okay, of course I'll go. Do whatever you want and we'll cheer you on from the stands. Love you! Luis, come cheer Rafa on."

Veronica hugged Louis, turned on the speakerphone, and let Louis, who was mumbling to talk to him after hearing Raphael's voice, give her uncle courage.

But the mischievous ghost is not good, he is shouting: "Rafa~Maomao! Rafa, Mamao!"

Hats?

Raphael was obviously a little surprised, and he repeated it, and the kid even yelled for a hat.Javier quickly brought his cream yellow peaked cap, but the little guy pushed it and refused to accept it.

Raphael guessed: "Is it a top hat? Give him a bow?"

Top hat?

bow?

Although Javier didn't know what this had to do with it, it didn't prevent him from running up and down quickly. During this period, Louis kept talking about hats and hats, but he was really happy when he saw the collar his father brought from his uncle's cloakroom.

His father was stunned, but Raphael knew that Louis must have seen Hughes on TV, and maybe even Byron—that guy's bow obviously left a deep impression on Louis.

Raphael didn't go into details, but just said to the kid: "Louis, see you tonight."

Hearing these words, the little guy knew what he should do, so he let out a loud "Bobo".

Everyone laughed.

Veronica stroked his soft little hair, and when she hung up the phone, Auriol called him.She asked Javier to watch the child, and when she walked over, she saw Oriol pointing to the notebook and saying to her: "I think you might care about this."

Veronica glanced at it. It was the official website of The Times. The headline was not a national event worthy of the status of a universal subscriber of The Times, but an exclusive interview with Hughes.

In the photo, Hughes's hair is meticulously groomed, wearing a pair of tortoiseshell square-frame glasses, wearing a dark gray coat, a blue-gray three-piece suit, and a light gray scarf around his neck. The blue and black tie obviously has a special meaning on today's game day.

Veronica looked at the gentleman who restrained his edge and smiled at the camera, which brought her almost instantly to that extremely cold winter night in July 1983.When Rafael's high fever persisted and she anxiously went to borrow money from her neighbors to go home, this man suddenly appeared in front of her eyes.

He was not a gentleman at that moment, but he covered her mouth for a moment before she screamed, and squatted on one knee in front of her the next moment, begging her, just to keep her from making a sound.

She had recognized him then and remembered that moment forever.

More than ten years have passed, and the years have taken away this man's youth, but also carved him into a more elegant and wise man.

She clicked on the top of the interview on the trackpad, there was an audio link, and the next moment she heard the conversation between the reporter and Hughes.

"Your Excellency, Brigadier General, are you going to Milan to watch the Milan Derby? Have you informed Raphael of your itinerary in advance?"

Then what came into Veronica's ears was the unhurried, elegant and gentle London voice of Hughes, which almost immediately awakened her memory.

"As you can see, here I am now waiting to board a plane to Milan. I am happy to have contacted Raphael before making this decision, and his welcome makes me eager to watch tonight's event live. Contest."

"How did you get in touch with Raphael? Was he surprised by your 'resurrection'?"

"For this question, I can only say that I have worked in the Intelligence Bureau before. Although I have officially retired, I am still an advisor to the Intelligence Bureau. It is not difficult for me to get his contact information. And I am sorry to contact you in this way. He, I had already considered several options, but unfortunately because of the media's sensitivity, it all turned into an accident. I don't know if it's a 'surprise' or a 'shock'."

"I think it must have been a huge surprise and he welcomed you to the game to prove it. Your last 20 years have been more ups and downs than movies, have you considered writing a book in the future? Let us know what happened to you everything?"

"I was in the office of the Director of SIS just an hour ago. Our Director, Sir David Spedding, after he signed my consent to retire, told me that I might be in his book in the future. So I thought Writing a book by myself may not be objective enough, we can look forward to Jazz’s works. If it is a book, I think I am more interested in children’s literature.”

"Children's literature?"

"It's the work of my good friend Alex Byron. We have discussed some plot..."

"What makes you tempted to discuss children's literature with your friends?"

"Before Rafa was 2 years old, I would seize every vacation to be with him. He is a child who likes to listen to stories."

"Will you discuss this work with him in the future? Even if he is an adult."

"I think so, because he obviously dotes on Louis, he is a lovely child, sometimes I imagine the picture of them getting along, it must be very warm..."

"Are you sorry?"

"Obviously. My Rafa is of age, he can drink legally, he can drive, he has his own business, he's the best in his field. You see, I've missed so much, so much Don't miss another second."

"You are ready to board the plane, thank you for accepting my interview, thank you, Commodore General."

Oriol shook his head after hearing this, and said with emotion: "Some movies won't be made like this, but it's all so real... If he writes an autobiography in the future, those film companies will definitely be—"

He paused, Raphael and Veronica now jointly own a medium-sized film company!

A whole new Bond?

A different Ethan?

Veronica glanced at him, "Don't think too much about it."

They don't need to cut everything apart, like a commodity without dignity, for people to pay to visit and comment on.

Veronica then urged Javier to pack the things little Louis was going to take when going out, changed Louis' clothes, and prepared to pick him up at the airport.

She knew what this might mean, so she also called Moratti and asked him to provide a security company with a good reputation in Milan.

Obviously they need lots and lots of security today.

Javier came to ask his sister after packing up his son's diapers, milk powder and tissues, toys and the bow.

"Will that guy affect Rafa?" These were the words Javier endured for two days. He didn't know what Hughes' appearance meant to their family...

Will their home still be a home in the future?

"Yes." Veronica said without hesitation, "He is the hero that Rafa wants, and he is an object that none of us can replace. Just like what you mean to Louis, even Ada, me and Rafa There is no substitute."

Javier's sour and wrinkled heart, which seemed to be soaked in lemons, finally stopped curling up into a ball.

He had to try to accept that there was going to be a new addition to their family...

Would it be easier for him to accept him if he regarded him as a buddy like Juan, or Sean, Eric and Xiaoping?

When the security guards were in place, their car drove out of the house, and paparazzi followed immediately.When they arrived at the airport, groups of paparazzi made Oriol marvel at Raphael's popularity.

In fact, the Italian media did not expect the speed of the British counterparts to be so fast, and to expose such big news!In just 2 days, Raphael not only had an extra dad, but also a legendary dad!

They are now more interested in Hughes than in Raphael. They almost can't wait to know what Hughes has experienced in these years, what he has encountered, and how he can do well in both the military intelligence system and the military. So good that he even managed to retire!

Veronica did not give any interviews.

When Hughes and Byron finally came out, countless flashing lights flashed at the same time, but Hughes remained calm and impeccable.Even Byron, who was wearing a crimson short coat, fruit green bow tie and top hat beside him, had an aura of [-] meters.

Luis, who was held firmly in Veronica's arms by Veronica, who was stepping on 10cm high heels, saw them almost immediately!He immediately pointed to his little hand and shouted——

"Rafa! Rafa!"

Even at the crowded exit, both Hughes and Byron heard his loud voice, which made Byron immediately waved to him in surprise, and Hughes also had a joyful arc on his face.

The existence of the little guy almost immediately resolved the embarrassment that had not yet appeared. After Hughes and the others approached under the escort of security, she handed Louis who was leaning over to hug Hughes.

Before Hughes could rub the kid's face after catching him, Louis pointed to Byron's bow.

Byron took it off without saying a word.

This time there were no gadgets in it.

Javier, Veronica, and Oriol all had the same doubts in their minds as they watched this scene—has Rafa seen them with Louis?

Oriol rubbed his nose, as if he knew a huge secret.

Veronica glanced at him with a smile, obviously warning.

The scene of Hughes appearing at the Milan airport spread to millions of households in Italy almost at the same time.The major TV stations are doing their best to popularize the name, his legendary experience, and of course his relationship with Raphael for every Italian.

The Italians accepted all this passively in a daze, thinking that even in the movie, isn't this incident too bizarre?Is it going too fast?

However, among the thousands of Italians, whether they are from the south or the north, whether they are Juventus supporters, or "Rosenneri (the name of AC Milan fans)", or fans of Inter Milan, in this I have the same feeling for a moment——

Is the British government so unreliable?With such an ability to be easily exposed by the media, it's no wonder that such an outstanding young military officer's wife and children are separated...

The time quickly went from afternoon to 7 pm, and Inter Milan's bus drove from the small town of Pinetina to the San Siro Stadium.

Yes, today is AC Milan's home game.

The media were controlled in the photo area. When the bus door opened, Mourinho was the first to get off the bus and started calling Raphael's name to attract his attention, even if it was to make him look at them and snap a picture. Good face.

Among the players, Rafael, who was the first to get off the car, got off the car with his head held high amidst the shouts of the reporters, but he did not hear the voices from both sides.Belgomi, who followed closely behind, waved his hands to the media on both sides, and quickly followed behind Rafael, followed by hula la.

The media were not disappointed. After all, Raphael was the only player in the C position, and the media on both sides took photos, which was considered a perfect completion of the task.

After waiting in the locker room, many pairs of eyes glanced at Rafael, such as their team photographer Gomez.

Even though they lived in the Pinettina training base and did not accept interviews from the media, they did not lose contact with the outside world. Everyone knew the significance of this game to Rafael.

So it made them a little curious - would Raphael go and say hello to his dad during the warmup?

Raphael stood still under the curious gazes of his sand sculpture teammates, quickly changed his clothes, and put on a golden headband, which attracted Mourinho's puzzled gaze.

This is winter, in mid-November, can you still sweat a lot?As for the hair, Raphael's short hair is very British in length.

After changing the equipment, Raphael glanced at him.

It's too early to go out and warm up now!But seeing that Rafael seemed unable to sit still, Mourinho chose to be a sensible assistant coach and said to him: "Rafa, you go to warm up with Gian, remember to warm up fully."

Pagliuca glanced at him silently, I haven't changed my leggings yet!

Seeing Raphael looking at him, Pagliuca quickly changed his equipment, put on a cold jacket and got out of the locker room.

As soon as they left one by one, there was a lot of gossip in the locker room.

"Is Rafa going to see his father? I really want to see him!"

"Is it in the North Stand?"

"Should it be a VIP box?"

Mourinho looked at the old Robson, and the old Robson smiled, but he didn't mean to let the players warm up in advance.

The weather is so cold, of course you have to warm up fully, but isn't excessive warming up also consuming physical energy?

He wasn't worried about Raphael's physical problems, but he was worried about this bunch.

The author has something to say: I want heating/(ㄒoㄒ)/~~

It was so cold that I bought a new four-piece suit before Double 11~
