The extraordinary life of a certain American comic

But the matter about Nick Fury and Locke is well controlled.

Those who should know know.

Those who shouldn't know will definitely not know.

Whether it's Locke or old Underwood, they all tacitly don't mention this matter to Claire.

Locke is confident that he can handle this matter.

The day Nick Fury steps down is the day this one-eyed black slave dies.

As long as he moves fast enough, he is confident that Nick Fury's BB machine, which he has always treated as a treasure, will never have a chance to be used.

As for why old Underwood didn't say it.

It's very simple.

He is confident that when Locke can't handle it, he will take action to handle it.

Don't underestimate the means and ruthlessness of a person who came from a humble background but relied on his own efforts to step by step to sit on the majority whip of the House of Representatives.

Of course.

This is also the reason why old Underwood was beaten.

Although the tiger doesn't eat its own cubs.

But...

Old Underwood's character is much more powerful than that of a tiger.

So, seeing that Frank was planning on his son, who else would be upset if not Claire?

However!

Rather than comforting the wounded heart of old Underwood, Locke was more curious about why Claire dragged his beloved wife to the back garden.

In the back garden.

No matter how Esme looked at it, she felt that this back garden didn't look like a back garden.

Because there were only a few flowers.

In total, there were only about seven or eight flowers in the huge back garden.

And at a glance, it was clear that the owner of these flowers had probably not taken good care of them.

Claire didn't take Esme to appreciate the flowers, but after coming out, she sat down on the lounge chair in the corridor.

"Locke told you about Stephanie?"

"...Yes."

"I don't know about this."

Mom Claire looked at Esme seriously and expressed her attitude: "I don't agree with this..."

Esme didn't wait for her mother Claire to finish, and interrupted with a smile: "I already agreed."

Claire was stunned, and then looked at the expression on Esme's face seriously.

Esme's expression did not change.

"Locke told me when he came down that there is no secret between Locke and me."

"...Really?"

Claire listened to Esme's explanation and was a little unconvinced.

Esme smiled slightly and looked at Claire: "In fact, Locke didn't want to go. I suggested that Locke meet with Ms. Stephanie Malik before talking."

Claire felt that she was not very good at speaking.

Good guy.

She knew that young people in Washington had a lot of fun, but she was always glad that her son knew how to keep himself clean and never went along with the second generation of the rich and powerful in Washington.

When he lived in South Carolina, Locke's hobby was to listen to his grandfather telling stories about the glory of the plantation in the past.

After moving to Washington, Locke simply stayed at home.

At that time, Claire once suspected that Locke was depressed. It was not until he saw a psychologist three times that he finally confirmed that Locke was not depressed. He just didn't want to go out to play.

But what was the point of staying at school and home all day, so Claire and Frank came up with a solution.

Don't you like going out? Well, we force you to go out.

This is the origin of the story that the two were so busy with work that they couldn't take care of Locke's lunch and let him go out to find food.

Locke wanted to order takeout at the time, but the two had a good excuse.

You are the son of a congressman. What's the point of ordering takeout all day? What if those tabloid reporters in Washington report it?

Locke thought about it and felt that it made sense.

This is why he went around Washington every day at noon when he lived in Washington.

The two were also very happy to see Locke walk out of the house.

It's okay for young people to like reading, but you can't just like reading, you also need to know how to socialize.

So during the holidays, Claire always dragged Locke to accompany him to socialize.

She was afraid that Locke would become the kind of nerd who only knew how to study.

But now.

She was a little confused.

Her son told her daughter-in-law that her son's father was rushing to find a mistress for his son.

As a result, the daughter-in-law was not angry, but even comforted her instead, saying, "Don't worry, mother-in-law, your son doesn't want to go, but I took the initiative to suggest that he go to contact her."

Claire looked at the smiling Esme, her thoughts turned quickly, and then she thought of a possibility.

"That..."

Claire frowned, lowered her voice, and asked carefully: "You and Locke, are you not married to the same sex?"

Esme heard this, her eyes gradually enlarged, and she looked at Claire with wide eyes.

"What?"

"Same-sex marriage means..."

"I know what that means, Claire."

Esme interrupted again, and then looked at Claire with some amusement: "I just didn't expect you to say that."

Claire shook her head speechlessly.

Why else?

I had doubts before.

After all, who hasn't had a relationship in high school?

What's the result?

Other students went in pairs at the homecoming dance, and even rented luxury cars to pick up their girlfriends.

But what about Locke?

He went, but it was better not to go.

The question is, Locke went to participate in a group with another man without a female partner that day, and the two of them even won the Prom King and Prom Queen.

Only God knows how bad Claire felt when she heard the news.

That is to say, Locke fell in love with Stephanie after he went to college, otherwise Claire would really suspect that there was something wrong with Locke's orientation.

But then the two broke up again, and she heard that it was Stephanie who initiated the breakup, which made Claire worried again.

She wondered if Locke was using Stephanie as a cover to cover up his true love.

Afterwards, Locke suddenly got married, which actually heightened Claire's suspicion.

but……

After she learned that Esme was pregnant, her doubts disappeared again, but now that Esme said that she had asked Locke to go, she had her doubts again.

After all, who's wife would take the initiative to let her husband find a baby outside?

Esme couldn't help but smile as she listened to her mother-in-law Claire's interesting stories about Locke's high school prom.

"Prom Emperor and Prom Queen, real or fake?"

"Of course it's true."

Claire vouched for her real name, and then looked at the expression on Esme's face: "So, Locke really isn't?"

Esme looked at Claire with a funny expression: "Claire, you can rest assured on this, no one is straighter than him."

As everyone knows.

Locke has two secrets that she knows but others don't.

The first is that Locke hates black.

Of course.

Except for dead things.

The second is when Locke was in the apartment, the two of them huddled on the sofa and watched various correct news reported on TV while various straight men spoke.

Again.

Others don't know whether Locke is straight or not, so how can she not know?

One sentence.

straight!

Very straight!

Claire became even more confused after hearing Esme's categorical assurance.

"Then why did you..."

"Because my last name is Underwood too, Claire."

Esme looked at Claire with a smile and said her answer: "If Locke is good, I am good, and the better Underwood is, the better Locke is, and the better I am, right?"

Claire listened to Esme's explanation and said nothing, but looked at Esme quietly.

After a while.

Claire looked at Esme and smiled sincerely, satisfied with her daughter-in-law.

"You are very smart, Esme. I heard Locke say that your family is from Boston?"

"Yes."

"Is there anyone else at home?"

"I have two younger sisters."

"Two of them, has Locke seen them?"

"certainly."

Esme said with a smile, then looked at Claire who wanted to continue asking, and changed the topic smoothly: "Actually, the most important thing is that I believe in Locke, and Locke also promised me."

Hearing this, Claire looked at Esme, somewhat curious.

"Oh, what promise did he give you?"

"Locke said that he married me because he was willing, and he never regretted marrying me."

"I can see it."

Claire thought of the scene where she was in the room just now, watching Locke and Esme getting out of the car.

Esme was walking in front, while Locke was half a body behind and was fawning over Esme.

Obviously.

His son really cares about the wife he has found.

This is why Claire dragged Esme here to talk.

She knew what was going on when she heard Esme say the name "little cave".

After all, there are only three people who know the nickname Locke.

Her, Frank, and Stephanie.

When Esme said this nickname, it was in a joking tone. It was easy to guess what happened.

But she felt that she had guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

But there was one more thing she needed to confirm.

Claire looked at Esme seriously: "So, is your marriage to Locke an open one?"

Esme smiled at this.

"You mean I acquiesce to Locke, and Locke acquiesces to me?"

"You know what I mean."

"certainly……"

"no."

Esme saw that Claire was not joking at all, so she put away her smile and looked at Claire seriously.

"Locke is a very double-standard person. I am sure that if I did this, he would not forgive me."

"So, not really."

The reason why she acquiesced to Locke was actually very simple.

Because she started it.

but……

The three of us sisters have changed so many times, and this guy doesn’t seem to notice it yet.

So just in case, Esme thought it would be better to be more generous than to expose the incident.

Anyway, the three sisters are of the same mind.

No matter what sexy bitches Locke finds in the future, the three phantom cuckoo sisters will be able to kill them!
