Chapter 130 Locke's Passionate Defense (25, please order the whole thing)

In the afternoon.

Locke drove his beloved wife to his mother Claire's water purification organization in Washington.

After Claire gently pulled Esme and promised Locke that she would take good care of Esme, Locke got back in the car and went to the old place in his and Stephanie's memory.

Naval Observatory.

This place has another name.

Vice President's Residence.

At first, the former vice president did not have an official residence and lived in his own home. Later, Congress found that the security expenses of the vice president without an official residence were even greater, so in order to save more money, it was better to find an official residence for the vice president.

After that, Congress found a small courtyard in the northwest of Washington, which is now the Naval Observatory, as the vice president's residence.

So, if you are lucky, you can see the vice president's residence from the Naval Observatory.

Of course.

As a unit where you can see the vice president's residence with your naked eyes, the Naval Observatory is naturally not a place you can enter whenever you want.

He needs to make an appointment to enter.

But this does not include Locke.

Locke drove to the observatory, lowered the window, and directly showed his federal ID, then the security guard opened the door naturally, and Locke drove the car in easily.

He used to use his ID to enter.

But at that time, he used Francis Underwood's ID.

Now!

He used his own Locke Underwood ID.

And to be honest.

Locke felt that his ID was more useful.

After all, he didn't need to fight for power on a bloodless battlefield like old Underwood.

Compared to a bloodless battlefield, Locke prefers a bloody battlefield.

Simple, rough, and fast.

Very quickly.

Locke drove the car into the parking lot, parked it, and got out of the car.

As a unit that can be visited by appointment, it is impossible that there is only one person coming to the Naval Observatory today.

However, there are people here and when Locke came before, but not many.

After Locke walked up to the observatory, the first thing he saw was the woman standing not far away, wearing a white coat, with shoulder-length golden curly hair, and with her back to him.

Stephanie, who was facing away from Locke, with her arms folded, looking up at the sky and seemed a little absent-minded, heard the familiar footsteps coming from behind her, retracted her gaze, slowly turned her eyes, and then saw Locke who stopped five steps behind her.

Stephanie looked at Locke who appeared in front of her and smiled gently.

"You are late."

"You are early."

Locke smiled slightly.

Stephanie shook her head and said, "No, when you asked me to come here, you said you would come in the afternoon, but you always arrived early in the morning."

Locke smiled and walked to Stephanie's side: "I came early at that time because I wanted to go to the library over there to read books first."

Stephanie gathered her hair by her ears.

"Me too."

"Did you go to the library?"

"Yes, I thought you would go to the library first like before, but obviously, you were not there."

"Sorry."

Locke used an apology to stop Stephanie from trying to recall the past.

The same sentence.

People only like to recall the past when they encounter setbacks in life. Have you ever seen people who are successful in their careers or struggling like to recall the past?

No.

Rather than recalling the past, they prefer to look forward to the unknown future.

He is no exception.

The topic of the past has ended, so naturally it is now.

"How are you recently?"

"No."

"..."

This topic can't be discussed.

Stephanie looked at the silent Locke: "Aren't you going to ask me why I'm not okay?"

Because I know what you will say.

Locke thought in his heart, but he still followed Stephanie's words to chat.

"Why."

"You got married."

"..."

Look.

I knew it.

Locke glanced at Stephanie, who said lightly, but her eyes were full of resentment.

Stephanie's thoughts are easy to guess.

Why.

It was obviously me who came first.

Yes.

It was indeed you who came first.

But what good woman can't wait to see her husband become a snake after dating for only one year.

Locke looked at the resentment on Stephanie's face and sighed inwardly, but still chose to tell the truth.

"My father forced me."

"Yeah."

Stephanie was stunned at first when she heard this answer, and then her eyes lit up without disguising, and she looked at Locke.

"So, you don't like your current wife?"

"No, I love her very much."

"Then you just said..."

"My father forced me to get married, that's all, Tiffany, you should know that if I don't want to, no one can really force me to do anything."

"I know!"

Stephanie listened to this answer, and a forced smile appeared on her face, looking at Locke: "But I thought you would lie for me once."

Locke shook his head, and looked at Stephanie with his clear blue eyes. "I won't lie about this."

He can taint anything in the world.

But love...

He will never taint it.

It's like Master Xing has used movies to mock everything in the world, but he has never mocked love.

Because love is the most beautiful thing in the world and the best memory.

As for why Locke is so passionate?

Very simple.

Most men spend their entire lives pursuing love.

He just chose to go along with it.

The fault is not his. If he is guilty of being sentimental, then most men in the world are guilty.

There is something to say.

If one person commits a crime, it is wrong, but if hundreds of thousands of men commit a crime, can it still be called wrong?

The law does not blame everyone.

so……

rounding.

Locke is passionate, which means he is innocent!

Stephanie raised her eyes and looked at Locke, who was looking at her with only calmness and no dodge in his eyes.

Eyes facing each other.

The two of them looked at each other quietly beside the guardrail of the observatory.

The strangers on the side also noticed Locke and Stephanie. After looking at each other, they made a tacit understanding and did not approach their location.

Obviously.

This is a couple who once couldn't love each other and reunited after a long separation to express their feelings to each other.

As a federal citizen who is known to be the most romantic among the public, when he saw this scene, he naturally chose to be happy to see it come to fruition.

Some people even took out their cameras and took photos of the two people looking at each other.

Locke sensed all this.

But he ignored it.

He is not a public figure who needs support from public opinion. He is a member of the federal violent law enforcement agency.

He never cared about exposure or anything like that.

Again.

So what if someone finds out that he is Old Underwood's son.

Still the same sentence.

Locke's character is second to none among Washington's powerful elites, while no other powerful person dares to be considered first.

No son of a powerful person even dared to compete with Locke in the ring.

Because he was exposed as just being sentimental, but the other sons of powerful people were all addicted to hemp, flying leaves, and partying.

After a while.

Stephanie took the lead to retract her gaze and set her sights in a direction where she could see the Vice President's Mansion in the distance. Then her voice floated very softly into Locke's ears.

"Do you know what my first reaction was when I learned about your marriage?"

"have no idea."

Locke glanced at Stephanie who retracted her gaze, and also looked at the Vice President's Mansion in the distance where he stood side by side with Stephanie.

"Uncomfortable, heartache, hard to breathe." Stephanie put her hands on the guardrail. When she recalled the scene at that time, her hands clenched the guardrail even harder.

With a faint tone, Stephanie continued to tell her reaction when she heard the news of Locke's marriage.

Locke listened quietly and did not choose to answer.

Just then.

Stephanie moved with a swipe, straightened Locke with both hands, and then threw herself into Locke's arms.

Locke clearly heard the exclamations of the melon-eating crowd who were far away, seemingly not looking at this place, but with his peripheral vision fixed on them.

at the same time.

There was also a young woman who obviously liked this kind of melon, her eyes were bright, and she quickly pressed the shutter of her camera, making a smoking sound.

As God can testify, she originally wanted to come here to take photos of the classic architectural observatory.

but……

In front of the love story unfolding in reality, even the God of Death has to stand aside obediently.

After Stephanie hugged Locke, she turned around, pressed her back against the guardrail, and then hugged Locke tightly.

"I felt uncomfortable for several days. Later, my father couldn't bear to see me like this and gave me a suggestion."

"He said that my daughter has never been such a self-pitying character."

"Since you can't bear it, then go and get it back."

"I figured it out."

"Little cave!"

Having said this, Stephanie looked up from Locke's arms, looked at Locke who was also looking down at her, and said softly but firmly: "I regret it, I don't want to break up with you, I want to with you."

Locke's eyebrows twitched invisible.

"I am married."

"I know, I don't care."

Stephanie shook her head, wrapped her arms around Locke's waist, hugged Locke tightly, and looked at Locke firmly: "I missed it once, but I will never miss it the second time. I want to be with you forever. , we will never be separated in this life.”

The words of infatuation and sincerity can make boys silent, make girls feel the same, and even cry after hearing them.

There were two crystal tears hanging from the corners of Stephanie's delicate eyes. Her eyes were filled with tears, but she looked up at Locke more affectionately.

"Little cave."

"Um?"

"Let's make peace, please forgive me."

"good."

"I know..."

Stephanie was still thinking about what to say, but suddenly her delicate face paused, and she looked at Locke with a shocked look.

Locke smiled slightly, and then under Stephanie's seemingly shocked gaze, his head seemed to tilt slightly to the left inadvertently.

The next second.

call out!
