The Rich Man's Versailles Life
Friends Bar.
"Dr. Duncan."
"Dr. Duncan."
"Dr. Duncan."
As soon as Adam entered, everyone who saw him greeted him warmly.
The explosion this morning has naturally become the center of gossip.
Even without Adam's terrible consequences, the story would have spread far and wide thanks to the well-reasoned analysis of his Nurse Know-It-All.
It's understandable that Adam's colleagues at the Medical Center, still shaken by the experience, were exceptionally warm towards him.
"Let's raise a glass to Dr. Duncan."
"A toast to Dr. Duncan!"
Some people started to jeer, and the crowd joined in.
"Have a good time, everyone."
Adam naturally didn't refuse, raised his glass and drank with everyone, then said goodbye and went to his friends' group.
Two tables.
Chandler, Monica, Rachel, Ross, Phoebe, Joey were at the same table, with Ant-Man joining them.
Emmm.
This is Phoebe's new boyfriend, who looks a lot like the male lead in the movie Ant-Man, only much more youthful.
Marshall, Lily, Ted, Barney, Robin were at a table, and now there was an extra girl.
She looks like Ted's younger sister.
Cristina and her group were seated at a table on the other side by Adam.
The three tables of people represent Adam's three main circles of friends in New York.
However, due to their previous awkward experience of gathering together, Adam deliberately arranged their seats in different corners to avoid them all crowding together in a messy and awkward manner.
Cristina and the others were together every day, and after Adam made arrangements for them, he left directly.
Naturally, Chandler and Monica went first.
"Chandler, sit for a bit, then go back with Monica."
Adam cautioned, "Pregnant women need to be very careful during the first three months."
"I know."
Chandler nodded.
Don't worry.
Monica laughed and said, "I'm not that fragile. Besides, you don't know how much Chandler cares about his children. Now he's the boss and he's giving me orders every day."
Did you hear that?
Adam smiled knowingly.
"Of course I listened."
Monica exclaimed, "Ask Chandler if you don't believe me!"
"If everyone agrees, then we should listen to me."
Chandler said quietly, "If we disagree, we should listen to her."
"Hahaha."
Everyone burst into laughter.
"Phoebe, who is this?"
Adam looked at the Young Ant-Man sitting next to Phoebe.
"This is my boyfriend, Mike."
Phoebe introduced them, saying, "Mike, this is Adam I've been telling you about."
"Hello."
"Hello."
Adam greeted him and asked with a smile, "Mike, do you like Marvel Comics?"
"Well."
Mike paused, then said, "I've seen a little bit."
"I think you should take a look."
Adam laughed and said, "There's a superhero Ant-Man in there. He can control countless ants, fly through the air, and save humanity. Phoebe once said that in a few decades, the Earth will be ruled by ants. Maybe you can be that Ant-Man."
"Wow!"
Phoebe, as always, clapped and cheered extravagantly. "Great idea! Mike, let's dress up like this next Halloween. You be the superhero Ant-Man, and I'll be your flying ant."
"..."
Adam's lips twitched.
That's what I meant.
Do you know how Ant-Man controls ants?
Experienced Women is indeed Experienced Women; she's showing off her affection in public.
"OK."
Mike, still a young and fresh-faced guy, looked at the beautiful older sister Phoebe with doting eyes. "I'll go read the Ant-Man story. Next year, our Halloween combo will definitely outshine everyone else."
"Yeah!"
Phoebe laughed happily.
Adam, Monica, and the others exchanged glances, all of them seeing the relief in each other.
This friend, who is the most unconventional, the most quirky, and also has the most troubled past, seems to have finally found his own happiness.
Although we don't know exactly how old Mike is, it's not appropriate to ask who is older Mike or Phoebe.
But Adam felt it was definitely Phoebe was bigger.
The boundless pampering from a handsome young boyfriend from a wealthy family is the ultimate happiness that countless single women dream of.
From then on, whenever Phoebe talked about her past misery in an attempt to gain sympathy, Adam and the others could finally criticize and interrupt her without any restraint, no longer worried about hurting Phoebe's feelings.
Emmm.
Phoebe's approach has always been quite frustrating and perplexing.
For example, Rachel's newborn party.
It was originally organized by Monica and Phoebe, with Phoebe in charge of inviting guests.
But she forgot about the most important person in Rachel's life: her mother.
When Rachel started yelling, Phoebe pitifully said, "I don't have a mom, so I often forget..."
This kind of thing happens a lot.
Adam and the others actually understood Phoebe.
This is one of Phoebe's ways of attracting attention.
However, after a while, things got a bit complicated.
But things are better now.
From then on, if Phoebe tried this again, she would be met with merciless criticism such as "Come on," "That's enough," and "Save your breath."
Were you hurt by everyone?
It's okay, go hug your superhero Ant-Man boyfriend and cry for comfort.
To take it a step further, you could drag your Ant-Man boyfriend into becoming evil and strive to rule the world.
Once people start striving and find their sense of purpose and direction, they stop having so many random thoughts.
"Who's with Emma?"
After checking on Phoebe and her Ant-Man boyfriend, Adam looked at Rachel.
"My mother."
Rachel sat there enjoying herself.
It has been more than a month since Emma was born.
I thought the pain of childbirth was the most unbearable thing, but who would have thought that raising a child would be just as painful.
It felt as if Emma was crying all the time in her ears.
No wonder so many pregnant women become depressed after giving birth.
She had initially thought she could try taking care of the child, but she didn't stick with it for more than a few days.
Fortunately, she has her mother.
There's no one better than a mother in the world.
Emmm.
Mrs. Green hired a nanny for her, a very good one.
This is what it usually looks like when I'm taking care of my granddaughter.
"I miss Emma, come here and let me hug her."
Dressed in elegant attire, Mrs. Green clapped her hands as she thought of her granddaughter.
The nanny automatically brought out a clean and tidy Emma for Mrs. Green to play with for a while, enjoying the family time.
When Mrs. Green had finished playing, or when Emma was hungry, vomited, peed, or started to cry, Mrs. Green would immediately hand her precious granddaughter to the nanny who was already waiting.
Have the nanny take Emma to the bedroom to change her clothes and play with her, but don't disturb her.
Certainly.
Mrs. Green would sometimes considerately leave home to go shopping, letting her precious granddaughter run wild, out of sight, out of mind...
After divorcing Leonard, Mrs. Green inherited half of Leonard's life's work and even almost split Leonard's favorite sailboat in two to take half just to annoy him. She is truly financially free and living a carefree life.
The happiness of now, enjoying the company of grandchildren, is truly the envy of others.
Rachel initially rejected and criticized this way of raising children among the wealthy, feeling that it would weaken the emotional bond and connection between parents and children.
After all, raising a child from scratch is not the same as raising them online.
But...
It smells so good!
