Merry Christmas

Inside the restaurant.

Katie took her phone and went outside.

"God bless!"

Robin clasped his hands together and prayed to God.

She wasn't lying.

Because she herself almost became a brothel owner, she was very disgusted and worried about her younger sister following in her footsteps.

Don't worry.

Adam smiled and comforted him, "They must have planned this in advance. Now Katie is testing him by postponing the event. How could a high school boy with hormones all over his head possibly stand it? He'll probably get so angry that he'll break up with her right away."

"Really?"

Robin was overjoyed.

"Of course it's true."

Adam laughed and said, "If you don't believe me, ask Marshall."

"Yes."

Marshall nodded in empathy. "When Lily and I had our first time, I also wanted to wait, but I just couldn't wait, and I even told some lies about it."

"For example, the Olive Theory."

Lily complained, "I actually believed it back then."

Girls tend to like doing this kind of thing; they might initially say they don't want to eat it.

But once your boyfriend has ordered, you'll be eating what's in your bowl while eyeing what's in his pot, each of you eating with increasing gusto.

Even if her boyfriend was a little unhappy because he didn't enjoy the food, he couldn't say anything.

After all.

Do we still want to enjoy our happiness tonight?

When Lily meets the kind-hearted Marshall, she adopts the typical boyfriend approach of putting on a smiling face, and even inadvertently 'creates' a theory of love: the Olive Theory.

In other words, men and women complement each other; if you don't like something, I do, and we don't fight over food.

If she had met a foodie like Joey...

If she does that, Joey will really get angry.

"See that?"

Adam laughed and said, "Even a nice guy like Marshall is like that, let alone that rooster-haired, long-tongued Carl, he would most likely turn on you immediately."

"I hope so!"

Robin looked on with anticipation.

Previously, when she saw a sleazy man with a rooster-like hairstyle sticking his long tongue out at her younger sister at the airport, she almost couldn't resist going up and beating him up.

"Adam, you're such a jerk."

Lily retorted, "At least in high school, it definitely was!"

"Hey!"

Adam said with dissatisfaction, "You actually believed it? Didn't I tell you that I made those up?"

"Yeah?"

Lily sneered, "Can you really make something so vivid and relatable?"

Her outburst earlier wasn't feigned; it stemmed from listening to Adam's description and being unable to help but empathize with him, leading to a surge of righteous indignation and a genuine outburst of anger.

That's what makes it feel so real...

"Yes."

Adam replied matter-of-factly, "You've forgotten that I'm a well-known author, after all."

"I don't believe it anyway."

Lily shook her head. "The Lord of the Mysteries you wrote is based on your imagination, and it's completely different from what we're talking about now. You could never imagine those details without experiencing them yourself."

That's prejudice.

Adam laughed and said, "Even if you haven't eaten pork, haven't you seen pigs run? I've read a lot of books on this subject, and I can describe many touching details without even experiencing it myself."

Stop pretending.

Robin retorted, "I don't believe it either. You're definitely the worst of the worst, just the kind of scumbag who's openly scumbag."

"Cough cough."

Adam coughed lightly, reminding him, "Our focus tonight is Katie. Don't get off track. What's the point of bringing up those things, both true and false? We'd be better off going back to the hospital and saving more lives."

"..."

Robin and the other two were speechless.

No matter how much they despise Adam's past scumbag behavior, Adam current image of working hard to heal and save lives is deeply ingrained in people's hearts.

Even Ted and Barney, who had opinions about Adam, were speechless.

If they had Adam's resources, their debauchery would be a million times more outrageous than it is now.

Why bother going to the airport, randomly striking up conversations with pretty young women about to leave New York by plane, then hastily buying tickets to follow them, only to find out on the plane that they were all going to see their boyfriends, and then backing down because their boyfriends were too domineering?

So what if they're Adam, and their boyfriends are all strong, athletic football players?

They not only messed with them, but they also dared to cheat on their boyfriends' entire rugby team.

In response to this.

Owen Lee immediately recognized the expert's expertise.

Back in his high school days, the entire football team at his school were humiliated by his green hat.

"Okay, Katie's back."

Adam reminded him.

Everyone's attention immediately shifted to that direction.

Katie walked over, holding her phone and looking utterly bewildered.

"Katie, how are you?"

Robin almost jumped up and cheered, but she had to try her best to control her expression and pretend to be nonchalant as she asked with concern.

"I told Carl I wanted to wait, and then he dumped me, sob sob sob."

Katie cried.

"Oh, that's a shame."

Robin immediately went over and hugged Katie, saying comforting words, but his expression towards Adam and the other two was one of uncontrollable elation, grinning and clenching his fists.

"Everything will be alright. You came here to spend Christmas with me, didn't you?"

"Um."

Katie wiped away her tears, nodded, glanced at Adam, and said to Robin, "Should I come to your place tonight?"

"Certainly!"

Robin exclaimed, "Let's sleep together tonight, drink juice together, and watch the mermaids!"

"What about him?"

Katie looked at Adam: "Don't lie to me, you're just friends."

"To hell with him!"

Robin waved his hand.

"Hehe."

Katie smiled through her tears, "Then you have to add a big spoonful of sugar to my juice."

"Can."

Robin nodded hesitantly. "Just tonight, and don't tell Mom."

Westerners love sweets too much.

Girls are even more so.

But sweets are the enemy of a good figure.

A responsible mother will strictly control the amount of candy her daughter eats.

The atmosphere improved considerably after that.

Although Katie's words implied that Adam and Robin should not abandon their original activities because of her.

But Adam wisely left.

God knows what will happen tonight.

He didn't want to actually face Robin's bullets.

Life is a continuous process of learning.

On this Christmas Eve, he chose to go to New Jersey to find Paige, to study mathematics together, to explore the deepest mysteries of the universe, and to find great joy in the growth of knowledge.

Learning makes people happy.

When Adam arrived, Paige's apartment had already been decorated very festively by Lisa.

"Boss, the items are ready."

Lisa, the assistant, had a strange expression.

Even though she had been with Adam for quite some time and had witnessed many of Adam unique antics, many of which she had arranged, she was the one who arranged them.

But she still thought to herself, "My boss really knows how to have fun!"

Adam ignored that gaze.

It's just some little pleasure in life, nothing special.

At Lisa's prompting, Adam found the gift, opened it, and found it to be a red Santa Claus costume.

However, unlike the usual bulky Santa Claus costume, this one is very small and fitted.

It was Adam who asked Lisa to have it custom-made to fit Paige's figure.

Emmm.

Fair skin has its own charm.

Red has its advantages.

Adam, no longer a child, naturally wants it all.

This outfit is a red Christmas dress that left a deep impression on Adam in a certain art film.

After shooing Lisa away with his eyes, Adam personally delivered the clothes to Paige, dressed her, and then happily spent Christmas Eve and Christmas with Paige.

Merry Christmas!

P. S.: I have some things to do tonight, so that's all for today's two chapters. Sorry! Merry Christmas everyone!
