Father Mavie

Chapter 20 Jacob's Entrustment
"I understand."

Under Jacob Valentine's sincerely pleading eyes, Ma Wei nodded and said, "But there is one thing we must agree on in advance."

"If Miss Maggie, who has balls, is not in love with you, but you are just unrequited love, then I will stop interfering in this matter."

"Of course, of course"

Jacob Valentine nodded again and again: "I really love Miss Maggie, and at the same time believe that Miss Maggie loves me."

"Okay, since that's the case."

Taking out his pocket watch, Ma Wei looked at the time: "I will go to South Street at 2 pm, how about it?"

Today is Saturday, and they only need to work half a day, but perhaps because of the curse last night, most factories in the city are closed today, so so many people can come to the church in the morning to listen to Ma Wei explain the truth.

If nothing unexpected
Both Maggie Chrissy and Jacob Valentine will be home in the afternoon—if they have nothing else to do.

"I will be waiting for you at home." With his left hand on his chest, Jacob Valentine bowed slightly.

Back in the kitchen, lunch was ready, the freshly fried herring was so crispy that it didn't need any condiments except salt, but Mrs. Cecil brought a serving of sour cream to relieve the greasy taste.

Compared with the cold boiled potatoes last night, Junia preferred the freshly baked French fries. The crispy outside and tender inside made her eat them with great pleasure.

The only fly in the ointment.
Just no ketchup.

Eating French fries without ketchup is equivalent to eating pizza without cheese, there is no soul at all!

After lunch is over.
"Nia, get ready, we are going out."

"Would you like to buy new clothes?"

"Well, but before buying new clothes, we have to go to South Street to complete Mr. Jacob's commission."

"Got it, Dad!"

Junia jumped off the stool, ran up the stairs, put on her little leather shoes, tied her scarf again, and returned to Mavi.

"Mrs. Cecil, we are going out for a while, if any believers come, please greet them first."

"understood."

"Xiao Hei, let's go."

"Meow?"

Lying on the window sill, Xiao Hei, who was basking in the sun with his elder brother Fat Ju, raised his head blankly, his eyes full of puzzlement.

In the past, Ma Wei went out to work, presided over funerals, weddings, etc., but he never called it!

Today this is
"Come here quickly, I'm afraid you have to go out this time."

"Meow"

With doubts in his belly, Xiao Hei obediently followed behind his master, took a Hansam two-wheeled carriage, and drove towards South Street.

2:07 p.m., 156 South Street.

A biting cold wind was raging on the street, and Ma Wei felt a chill as soon as he got off the carriage.

It seems that this year's winter is still very cold.
Muttering something in his heart, Ma Wei glanced at the house number on the wall, and after confirming that it was correct, he went forward and knocked on the door.

Boom boom boom!
click.

After knocking twice, the door opened. Mr. Jacob, who had been waiting for a long time, saw Ma Wei and said happily, "Father, you are really on time! Come in!"

Under his warm greeting, Ma Wei took Junia and Xiao Hei into the hallway, and smelled a strong smell of alcohol as soon as they entered the room.

"Mr. Jacob, are you still drinking?"

Mavie frowned.

Normally, Jacob Valentine is still a mild-tempered person, but once he drinks alcohol, his temperament will change drastically. Although he will not abuse violence, just yelling in a loud voice is unbearable up.

"Stop quitting."

Jacob Valentine's cheeks were slightly flushed, he quietly hid the brandy in his hand behind his back, and said with a dry smile, "Since I drank too much wine last time and accidentally fell down the stairs, I quit. Still swearing before you, priest!"

"I hope you can fulfill your oath."

"Must be. Aveline! Aveline!"

Amid Jacob's roar, a young maid wearing a bonnet and an apron rushed out of the room with a feather duster, her freckled face was full of horror, and she asked tremblingly: " Jacob, what are your orders?"

"Didn't you see the priest coming? Go and pour tea!"

"I know."

Just as the young maid was about to turn around, Ma Wei said, "There's no need for tea, Mr. Jacob, let's get to the point quickly, is Mrs. Maggie at home?"

"Yes! At home!" Jacob replied, "I've been watching her! Shall we call her here or go to her?"

"It's too impolite to call someone over. Let's talk to her."

"no problem!"

After agreeing, Jacob walked to the front, opened the door, quickly tucked the wine bottle into his coat, then rushed to No. 155 next door, clenched his fists and began to smash the door.

咣 咣 咣!
The old door frame vibrated with his beating, and the dark green door shook and creaked like leaves in a storm.

Soon someone came to open the door.

"Damn it! Jacob Valentine! Are you crazy?!"

Her hair was raised high, her skin was white and tender, and a well-maintained woman appeared at the door of No. 155. She raised her eyebrows and looked at Jacob Valentine with gritted teeth: "Are you finished?! I said However, Pippi will not give it to you!"

Jacob ignored her at all, staring straight at the golden retriever Yorkshire terrier at the woman's feet, and his tone became much gentler for a moment: "Hey, Miss Maggie, we meet again."

"You pervert! Don't touch my dog!!!"

"Maggie Chrissy, I didn't come to quarrel with you, and I don't want to quarrel with you."

Jacob put away his smile, turned his body sideways, and said coldly, "Look who's here?"

"Father Marvie?"

Maggie Chris was stunned for a moment, and quickly restrained her violent temper: "Why are you here?"

"I am entrusted by Mr. Jacob to resolve the conflict between you."

"This..." Maggie Chriss opened her mouth, hesitated to speak: "Oh, forget it, you go in and sit down, but I want to warn you, Jacob Valentine, if you dare to shout Yell and get out of my house at once!"

"When did you see me yelling in front of Miss Maggie?" Jacob gave her a blank look, and walked into the room.

In the living room, Mrs. Maggie brought several cups of black tea and put them on the table together with sugar. She gave Jacob Valentine who kept teasing Pippi a hard look, and asked:
"Father, how do you want to solve the conflict between me and him? This problem has troubled me for too long, every day I have to beware of this damn bastard stealing Pippi!"

"So it's called Pippi, um."

Ma Wei thought: "Since I'm here today, I hope you two can sit down and have a good talk. It would be great if you can reach an agreement."

"I've talked to him a long time ago." Mrs. Maggie replied, "Pippi was raised by me, how could I give it up to someone else? Father, you should persuade him not to beat my Pipi again." Pi's idea, okay?"

"Ah"

Jacob, who was sitting in the corner, let out a sneer: "Maggie Chrissy, can you fool others, can you fool me?"

"You don't have any feelings for Miss Maggie at all! You just want to use it to socialize with those upper-class people in suits and ties! Find yourself a next husband!"

"Why do you say that? This is slander! This is slander!!!"

"Why?"

Jacob held Pippi in his arms, gently stroking its golden hair with his palms, and his eyes were gentle, as if looking at the lover in his dream: "Just because I have a connection with Miss Maggie, she has told me these things a long time ago. Yes No, dear Miss Maggie?"

"."

Mrs. Maggie's face turns pale and green, which is more wonderful than the palette.
