Marvel's Psyker

After Norman's Rolls-Royce drove away, Harry, who had been silent all this time, started to move again.

"Bam—"

He slammed the spoon in his hand on the table, and the spoon flew out and landed in the corner.

"Damn it!"

Harry leaned on the table with his face in his hands, and was silent for a long time.

Harry seemed to want to persuade Harry, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only sit on his seat and watch his brother worry.

Ben Parker at the bar couldn't stand it anymore, he asked Bud for two glasses of lemonade, and walked to Harry's table.

"Harry?"

Hearing a familiar voice calling himself, Harry lowered his hands covering his face.

"Uncle Parker? What a coincidence! Why are you here?"

Harry was quite surprised to see his friend's uncle.

"Hehe, I came earlier than you! It's just that at the bar, I saw that your family has a good atmosphere, so I didn't come to bother you."

"The original atmosphere was really good, but it's a pity that the ending is unfinished!"

Listening to Ben Parker's words, Harry laughed mockingly.

"Actually, Uncle Parker, you saw it too. Halfway through breakfast, he took a call from the company and left, leaving us here."

"He's a bastard! A cold, heartless man! It's as if I don't have him in my life!"

"Don't say that, all fathers in the world love their children!"

Ben Parker showed a kind smile, put a glass of lemonade in front of Harry, and handed the other glass to Harry.

"Thank you."

Harry took the water glass and nodded his thanks.

"You're welcome"

Ben Parker pointed to the chair Norman sat on just now, "Can I sit?"

Harry spread his hands, "Whatever."

"Okay." Ben Parker sat down on the seat, looked at Harry earnestly and said:

"Harry, although I am a stranger, I don't know the inside story of your family. But I can tell that your father actually loves you from the bottom of his heart!"

"When he looked at you, there was a father's love in his eyes!"

"When you are happy, the tenderness and joy in his eyes, when you are angry, the anxiety and apology in his eyes, when you plead, the reluctance and sadness in his eyes, all these cannot be faked !"

Facing Ben Parker's bright eyes, Harry lowered his head and remained silent.

"I know you are actually a very sensible child, you can't fail to see these things, right?"

Knowing that he couldn't hide, Harry sighed and nodded.

"I just... I just really want him to be with me once."

As he spoke, tears welled up in Harry's eyes.

"I know he loves me, but the problem is, he's been in my life so little that I can't help feeling neglected. I'm his son! Uncle Parker, can you understand that feeling? ?”

"I understand."

Ben Parker patted Huck on the shoulder.

"Want to hear a story?"

Harry nodded. "whatever."

Ben Parker smiled and began to say slowly: "When I was young, my family was also two brothers. My father often left early and returned late to work in order to make money, and he hardly had time to accompany us."

"Then you brothers don't feel wronged or dissatisfied?" Harry asked.

"Of course! At first we complained to my father, why couldn't he spend more time with us?"

"What then?"

Harry on the side also leaned his arm on the table and listened with relish.

"Then did he find time to accompany you?"

Ben Parker lowered his head, "Well, smoked."

"That's great!"

"No! It's not good at all!" Ben Parker shook his head. "I'd rather he take our complaints as children's nonsense!"

"Why? Isn't it great that your father is willing to spend time with you two brothers?"

"Don't worry, the story has just begun, listen to me slowly."

Ben Parker paused for a moment, with a look of nostalgia on his face, mixed with a trace of sadness.

"My father, like me, was also an electrical engineer and worked for a construction company."

"It was probably when the summer just entered, and my father's company received a big order. For this big order, during that time, everyone in my father's company was working overtime like crazy, and my father was always busy. not going home."

"It's been like this for about two months, and it's my brother Richard's birthday."

"The night before his birthday, my father came home very late. We stayed awake that day just to wait for him to come home. While he was washing up, we made an appointment with him, and we will go home for dinner tomorrow night. Dinner, let's all celebrate Richard's birthday."

"I still remember very clearly that my father was brushing his teeth, with drooping eyelids and heavy dark circles under his eyes. After hearing our words, he held the toothbrush between his two rows of teeth, with white foam at the corner of his mouth, and answered vaguely. Our requirement."

"Father is often the most admired person in childhood! So we never thought about the possibility of father breaking his promise."

"But...we are disappointed in the end!"

"Actually, I'm fine. What's more important is Richard. It's his birthday that day!"

"unacceptable!"

Harry listened very intently, and when he heard what Ben Parker's father did, he had some empathy, and he said angrily:

"How could he do this? He obviously said something good, but he didn't keep the promise! Especially the promise to his son! As a father, doesn't he know that this kind of dishonesty is a big blow to the child's young heart?" Is it an extremely heavy blow?"

"Especially for your brother, he was looking forward to the family reunion for a long time, right?"

Righteous indignation filled Harry's face as he said this.

Ben Parker looked at Harry who was insinuating and criticizing, and laughed, ignoring his angry words full of private goods.

"Don't worry, keep listening."

Ben Parker cleared his throat and continued:

"It's more than just sad ~ that night, Richard almost exploded!"

"Mom made a big dinner that night, and Richard, Mom and I sat around the table, waiting for Dad to get off work."

"Originally, he should have arrived home at six o'clock, but we waited until six thirty and he still didn't come back. Mom comforted us and said that Dad might be busy with work and working overtime. Let us wait a little longer."

"So we waited until seven o'clock, but there was still no sign of Dad. Then it was seven thirty, eight o'clock, and finally the clock even pointed to nine o'clock! We all gave up, and the three of us just sat at the table for hours."

"Richard must be very sad. I could hear his stomach growling, but he was as silent as a piece of wood. At ten o'clock, Richard left the dining room and went straight back to his room. .”

"That night, none of the three of us ate a bite."

Hearing the story up to this point, both Harry and Harry felt a little depressed.

"Then... what happened next?"

Harry asked this question for the second time, but his voice was trembling, and there was no expectation in his tone like listening to a story before.
