Chapter 16 Stark

With tears in his eyes, Colin helped Ashe take a bath, and put her back to sleep.

Afterwards, Colleen came to the living room and sat down, looked at Mark, and asked seriously, "Mark, what are you going to do with that woman?"

Mark shook his head and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet, but I will definitely not hand Ashe into her hands."

"Correct!"

Strange also echoed: "That evil... woman wants to take Ashe away? There is no way!"

"You talk too much!"

Colin glared at Strange, then turned his head to look at Mark, and said, "Mark, don't blame Auntie for being talkative, but have you thought about one thing?"

Mark said politely: "Auntie, just say it."

"From what you said at the beginning, that woman named Fudge is indeed extremely vicious."

Colleen emphasized the last four words, and Strange shrank his head, not daring to look up.

Following Colleen, he continued: "But Fudge fell to the ground as Ewan's sister and Ashe's aunt. From a legal point of view, she should indeed become Ashe's future guardian. Even if she doesn't want to, the court will make such an arrangement. "

Strange blinked and interjected: "She is Ashe's aunt, but Mark is also Ashe's uncle, why should the court award Ashe to her!"

Mark already understood what Colleen meant.

He is only 15 years old now, and he is also a minor in the legal sense. He still needs to find a guardian, so how can he adopt Ashe?

Seeing Mark's thoughtful look, Colleen knew that the other party understood what she meant.

Then he glanced at the righteously indignant son next to him, and couldn't help rubbing his temples.

"how?"

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Strange scratched his head in embarrassment, and said in confusion: "Am I wrong? Auntie can be adopted, so can uncle. Let Mark adopt Ashe. Is that solved?"

Colleen's eyes were silent on Strange for a long time, and then she looked at Mark beside him who was thinking, and she suddenly had a headache.

How do you compare...

Why does his son look so foolish?

Mark didn't know that in Colleen's heart, the mage who would save the earth in the future had become a fool, he explained along Strange's words: "I'm only 15 years old, I can't adopt Ashe, even if I want to, I can't adopt her." You have to be an adult."

"and……"

As he spoke, Mark snapped his fingers and calculated the conditions for adoption: "After I become an adult, I must first have a stable job, and then I must have a wife. The wife must like children, not..."

Listening to Mark's explanation, Strange's head felt dizzy for a while.

After Mark finished speaking, he said: "You said so much, it means that Ashe must be handed over to that woman, right?"

Correct!
That was the answer to the matter, but Mark didn't say it, and he certainly wouldn't have given Ashe to Fudge anyway.

even if...

While thinking, Mark glanced at his left hand inadvertently, and a ruthless look flashed in his eyes.

But Joe's words before he died were engraved in Mark's mind like a wake-up call. He sighed slightly and said, "I will find a solution. Even if Fudge finds the court, I will go to the judge and make it clear. .”

Strange nodded and agreed, "I'll go with you."

Is it useful to just say it?
How can those honorable judges be so fair.

Colleen on the side sighed slightly when she heard the two children's innocent conversation. She also frowned tightly, unable to think of any good solution.

Seeing that Colleen was silent, Mark and Strange also realized the difficulty of the problem, and the scene suddenly became silent.

suddenly!

Mark's eyes lit up, he raised his head and said, "Maybe I have a solution."

Strange hurriedly asked: "What way!"

"Um……"

Mark pondered for a while, and said, "It's not sure yet, I have to go out."

After a pause, Mark looked at Colleen again, and said, "Auntie, I need you to take care of Ash for a while."

"It's ok."

Colleen shook her head and said, "Ash will leave it to me. It just so happens that I don't have to work this afternoon."

Afterwards, Mark turned his head to look at Strange again: "If Fudge comes to the door again, don't let her take Ashe away. Everything will be dealt with when I come back."

Strange originally planned to go out with Mark, but when he heard this, he also understood the seriousness of the problem, and immediately slapped and said: "I will definitely not let that vicious woman take Ashe take away."

"Please!"

Mark got up and bowed, then went back to the room to get something, changed his wet clothes, turned around and went out the door.

……

The eastern suburbs of Missouri.

It was originally a lush farm, but since Stark Industries decided to build a factory here, it has changed drastically in just half a month.

Now here, a large construction site has sprung up from the ground. The turquoise color visible to the naked eye at first has disappeared. The ground is full of large machinery and equipment, and the gas emitted by the rumbling engine makes the sky completely gray.

On the construction site, the supervisors were directing with loudspeakers, and the workers inside were also busy.

There is a road at the gate of the construction site, and there is a bus stop on the road.

A taxi suddenly appeared at the end of the road, it drove straight, and finally stopped in front of the bus stop.

Mark paid the fare and got off the bus, raised his head to confirm the stop sign of the bus stop, tightened his pockets, and then walked towards the gate of the construction site.

"Hey!"

"This is a construction site, outsiders are forbidden to enter!"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the construction site, a security guard blocked the way by shouting.

Mark greeted him with a smile and said, "Uncle, I want to find someone."

"Find someone?"

The security guard looked at Mark: "If you are looking for someone, you can call directly..."

Mark smiled shyly and said, "Because I'm still a student, I can't have a mobile phone for the time being."

Hearing this explanation, the security guard's expression softened a lot.

There is also a child in his family who is studying.

After thinking about it, the security guard said, "How about this, you go to the security room with me to register first, and then tell me who you want to talk to, and I'll help you get in touch."

Mark hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, uncle."

"You're welcome, I also have a child who is studying, about your age..."

While talking, the security led Mark into the security room.

In the process, the two also knew each other's name.

After filling in some basic information, Mark took out what he was carrying in his pocket: "Uncle Dave, this is the person I'm looking for."
