It was like watching a movie, which fascinated Watson.
Seeing Mrs. Wick's dangerous look, Watson immediately grabbed the comb on the sofa and said, "I'm going to help Ariana comb her hair."
Mrs. Wick laughed angrily, she bet Watson would definitely see daylight.
In the bathroom, Ariana wrinkled her nose and cleaned her teeth with a toothbrush.
She followed the steps John taught her meticulously and used warm water to clean her little face.
Just as she was about to open the gift, Watson treated her as a tool to avoid accountability and dragged her to comb her hair.
The messy hair was combed as smooth as silk.
After all this was over, she could finally open the gift.
Under the Christmas tree, Ariana sat down with bare feet.
The big-headed gray owl Qiqi flew over.
Little Bear helped bring a gift, and Ariana opened the gift quickly without any instructions.
Inside is a bear doll wearing a pink headdress, which was given by Watson.
Watson was drinking coffee while making a bet with Mrs. Wick, "I dare say she likes my gift best."
Watson is full of confidence.
The next second, he saw his carefully selected bear being thrown aside.
"..." Watson was petrified on the spot.
Mrs. Wick sneered: "Ariana has a bear, and you give her the same one?"
"I thought she would find Little Bear lonely." Watson is autistic.
No, **** Greg, you lied to me.
Watson was filled with grief and anger, and he even consulted Greg, the administrator of the orphanage, for advice.
Mrs. Wick scoffed at her husband's idea and said confidently: "You need to figure out what girls like."
She saw Ariana opening her present.
A beautiful skirt was taken out and she looked as dazzling as a princess when she put it on.
Ariana thought for a moment and threw the dress on the sofa.
Mrs. Wick put down the cup expressionlessly and glanced at Watson who was about to laugh.
"Go and shovel the snow from the door."
Watson: "...I just shoveled it yesterday."
"You ate yesterday but you won't eat today?"
Well, after being warned by Mrs. Wick that there was no food, Watson resigned and went out to shovel the snow.
Ariana opened the third one, and as soon as the cold light inside was revealed, Mrs. Wick closed it with a smile.
"Little Baihua, you still have two gifts."
Mrs. Wick smiled and took the box away. The contents of the box made a sound of metal colliding.
Ariana blinked and opened the fourth gift.
This time the things inside are normal.
It was a beautiful green brooch and a card with a star logo.
The back of the card reads: "I open passages in fire."
This is John's gift.
Ariana put the brooch away as a treasure. She held it in her arms, feeling unsafe.
He simply ran to his room and hid the brooch under the bed.
After Mrs. Wick collected the gifts from her parents, she walked out and saw Ariana running down in a hurry.
Just as she was about to ask if she had received a gift from John, Mrs. Wick saw Ariana throw a card into the fireplace.
Immediately afterwards, the flames in the fireplace turned blue.
Mrs. Wick came over, blinking in perfect sync with Ariana.
"Look for John here." Ariana said.
Mrs. Wick thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's not a bad idea."
Holding Ariana's hand, mother and daughter stepped into the fireplace.
As the flames engulfed the two men, the fireplace returned to its original color.
Watson opened the door and came back and said, "The snow outside has become heavier. I think I can clear it later."
No one in the house responded.
Except Qiqi.
Watson looked at Qiqi blankly.
"Where are my wife and children?"
…
Chapter 602 Ariana, Hogsmeade
John found his gift in the dormitory.
Well, a lot.
There were so many that John almost couldn't enter the dormitory.
He randomly picked up one and opened it. The pink box inside made John doubt whether the contents in the box were serious.
Basil flew inside, and the whole bird trembled.
Don’t doubt it, he’s angry.
Because it found that many owls invaded its territory while it was away.
John had to give it a dozen small dried fish to let it calm down.
He can guarantee that if Basil was in the dormitory, those owls would probably fill the room.
As an owl with territorial awareness, Basil has always been stingy.
"I think I need to find some time to open the gifts again."
It is no secret to the entire wizarding world that he attends Hogwarts. These gifts are sent by his admirers or people who want to please him.
Just opening the gifts would probably take a few days.
For this reason, John planned to wait until night to solve the problem.
"I hope my uncles didn't send something explosive."
Looking over the gifts, his only worry was that his uncles had sent him a few grenades or something like that.
Heading to the auditorium, John enjoyed the auditorium alone.
Asking for a glass of water and bread, he settled for a simple meal.
Taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, he felt that Ariana should wake up and open the presents.
A door appeared behind him, and John turned and walked over.
The door opened and John saw his old mother.
John: "?"
He stared suspiciously at Mrs. Wick, who was confronting the protoss, and then at Ariana who stuck her head out there.
"Mom, why are you here?"
He waved his hand to let the stars disperse.
The little ones were frightened by Mrs. Wick.
Mrs. Wick's eyes changed from completely black to normal. She thought for a moment, pulled Ariana over and said, "I need to protect my daughter from being abducted to some strange place."
If you want to come, just say so. Why are you criticizing me?
John was speechless, but it was hard to say anything to his old mother.
"Well, now you should see that this is not a strange place, and there is no strange uncle, just your son."
"No, I think it's nice to have Christmas here." Mrs. Wick winked at her son.
John was indifferent to his old mother's behavior of acting cute despite her age.
But now that Mrs. Wick is here, where is dad?
…
"My wife, Ariana."
Watson searched every room, but did not see his wife or daughter.
He rushed towards Qiqi, holding its wings, and said viciously: "Where are my wife and children?"
Qiqi: "..." There's something wrong. Do you expect me to speak?
Fortunately, Qiqi can't speak, but that doesn't mean Watson can't look for clues.
He saw the card spit out by the flames.
I could recognize my son's handwriting on it at a glance.
"Okay, carry me behind your back to find John."
Watson quits. The magical world is so interesting, how could you do this?
He immediately got fully armed, took out his custom-made wizard robe and put on his wizard hat.
"What's missing...I have it!"
Watson ran to his warehouse to rummage and took out a magic wand.
Well, usually Tom bites and plays with it, but some bad parent hides it and takes it as his own.
Fully equipped, Watson stood in front of the mirror in a disgraceful manner.
"You really look like a wizard."
After admiring himself, Watson took out the card and walked to the fireplace.
With a cool throw, the card flew into the fireplace.
Then the card burned and burned to ashes.
Watson stood like that in front of the fireplace for a long time.
He reached out and was licked by the tongue of fire, causing him to quickly retract his hand.
"Can this pass?"
Watson was deeply suspicious of this.
Throwing a piece of firewood inside, the flames in the fireplace burned even brighter.
He felt that if he went in, he would be able to provide fuel for the flames for several hours.
After confirming again and again, Watson finally understood.
I was abandoned.
"You traitor!" Watson gritted his teeth.
If you don’t take yourself to the magical world, everyone will be lawless!
Shivering and cold.
Watson was waving his magic wand randomly, and it was like a madman in the Wick family.
