Chapter 147 No Room for Maneuver
"Is it the psychiatrist?" Irina said with a smile.
"If you're willing, I'd like to make the acquaintance of this lady."
York coughed dryly and didn't dare to respond. He watched the light turn from red to green, stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.
It’s not that he is afraid of Irina, but he has seen Irina fighting with others at school, which is why Irina has the title of the Big Devil.
That's a title that was earned through hard work.
What he was sure of was that Tifa could not defeat Irina, who had rich combat experience.
Seeing York's look, Irina said softly, "I am no longer the same person I used to be. I have no intention of doing anything. We both have the initiative in the affairs of the two families. No matter what the result is, I can accept it."
York nodded: "I can see that. To be honest, it happened too suddenly. Now I don't know what to do."
Irina said, "Well, I can understand."

Not long after, the F150 Ford Raptor stopped on the street in front of a Chinese restaurant.
"Do you usually have lunch here?" Lillian in the back seat looked at the exterior of the Relai's restaurant and then looked at the parked York with suspicion.
She wouldn't even look at a small restaurant like this even if she passed by, and she didn't know why her brother always liked places like this.
Yorks nodded, not paying attention to Lillian's words and gaze. This little girl was born with a silver spoon in her mouth. Everywhere she went was glamorous and very high-end, but he still had very clear memories of his past life.
Restaurants like this are very vivid in my memories of my previous life.
Because of the presence of Irina and Lillian, Yorks looked around cautiously.
"Is the environment here very bad?"
Irina noticed York's observation and subconsciously glanced around. From her point of view, it was quite peaceful here. There were several shops on the street, and men and women of different skin colors were coming and going at the intersection in the distance.
"According to my settings, the public security is at a medium to low level? Robberies and shootings are common."
Yorks answered, and under Irina's surprised and Lillian's excited gaze, he opened the storage box in the middle and took out his personal pistol from it.
Still the same Glock 19.
"If I were driving a police car and wearing a uniform, it would probably be fine, but now that I'm on leave and you're here, I have to make some preparations."
Looking at Irina and Lillian's eyes, York smiled and said, "Don't worry, this is just my professional habit. It's usually very safe."
At this point, York checked the gun with a few clicks to confirm that it was correct. He then looked at Irina and said honestly, "It's mainly because you're too pretty. To be honest, it's a bit eye-catching to be here. This is causing unnecessary trouble."
This is true. Beautiful women are always eye-catching no matter where they are.
Irina's eyes flashed with barely perceptible joy: "How about we go somewhere else?"
But she still has some emotional fluctuations. Although there are various reasons why she became like this, the main reason is ultimately because of York.
At least my original intention was to make up my mind to lose weight when I saw him standing and talking and laughing with a beautiful girl.
York stopped inserting the gun: "If you want."
Irina glanced out the car window and whispered as she looked at this unremarkable little restaurant with a sign engraved with Chinese characters and English.
"Since it's so inconvenient, let's go somewhere else."
York praised: "Smart decision."
He put the gun back in place, drove the F150 Ford Raptor directly, and drove away quickly and cleanly.
Irina noticed something and looked suspicious: "Did you do this on purpose?"
York laughed dryly: "No."
However, he really doesn't want irrelevant friends and relatives to be involved in his work circle. Regardless of anything else, he has always clearly separated the scope of his work activities and the scope of his life activities.
After all, what places did he choose for police situations and missions? Basically, they were somewhat unsafe neighborhoods.
Irina raised her eyebrows and said nothing more. She just crossed out the option of Relai Restaurant in her mind. Since there was an unsafe place, she would not go there. Anyway, there were many more places where she could go to inquire about what this man had done.
As for why she went to Relai's Restaurant, it was because she liked to listen.
"So where are you going?" Irina asked.
York: “I’m thinking.”
Irina looked at Lillian's reflection in the rearview mirror and said, "How about we go to Grace's restaurant, which Lillian likes to go to? She said that the set meal prepared by the chef there tastes pretty good."
Yorks also glanced at Lillian, who was blinking in the rearview mirror. "Okay."
-
Time: 13:47, address: Beverly Hills.
“I want to get off here!”
As soon as they reached the avenue adjacent to Sheffield Manor, Lillian shouted from the back seat.
"Someone is here to pick me up!"
York glanced at her, then looked at the car that appeared through the front window and the sturdy man in a suit standing next to the front of the car.
He recognized this car; it was the family car and the car that the bodyguard was responsible for.
I don't know when this little girl suddenly contacted her family.
Glancing at Irina in the passenger seat again, he instantly understood why.
This was obviously Lillian's task of breaking the awkward atmosphere and leaving them a chance to be alone while they began to regain their previous sense of familiarity.
Damn it! How come these people are so in sync?
York drove up to the car, looked at the bodyguard who bowed his head slightly, and turned to look at Lillian.
"Don't talk nonsense when you go back!"
There is no need to think about it, there must be a lot of people waiting for Lillian at home.
Lillian made an OK sign and even mouthed, "Come on!"
York glared at her and Lillian quickly opened the door and got out of the car.
"I'm leaving!"
Seeing this, Yorks looked at the bodyguard outside the car window and said, "Please send Lillian back, Andal."
The other party's strength is pretty good. He may not be as good as him in other aspects, but his professionalism in protecting people is not inferior to his.
Andal said seriously: "I will."
Yorks nodded and watched Lillian wave and get into the car before he stepped on the accelerator and drove away, continuing to take Irina back.
However, without Lillian, the car became silent, and there was no chatting and laughing like in the restaurant.
Finally, Yorks broke the silence: "It seems that the family behind us really wants us to get married. Do you mind my identity as a patrolman? I remember that you were angry about my decision before and called me specially."
Hearing this, Irina also remembered what happened at that time. She looked at York and said seriously, "Because I specifically checked it at that time and felt that the job of patrolman was very dangerous. Now it's nothing more than being mentally prepared like Aunt Valerie."
York looked at the main gate that appeared in front of him, stepped on the brakes, and said with a wry smile: "When did you start to like me? I didn't even realize it."
Irina smiled and whispered, "It started when I was a kid. I just wanted to wait until now because I felt I was the most perfect."
York's breath was choked, and he instinctively looked at Irina, wanting to say something, but she had already opened the car door and got out, so he could only interrupt what he was about to say.
But when Irina closed the door, she stood in front of the car door, raised her hand and pointed at the window with her index finger, and Yorks pulled down the passenger window using the control key.
Irina looked at him and smiled: "You don't have to feel any psychological burden."
She said, pointing at him: "You make your own choice."
At this point, he pointed to himself again: "And I am just doing what I want to do."
Hearing this, York recalled Irina's secret plan to capture his family, and sighed:
"I understand."
Irina smiled and said, "Well, see you at the party tomorrow."
Yorks nodded.
Irina left decisively and headed towards her own manor.
Yorks watched her enter and drive away, but he suddenly thought of something from a series of events, shook his head and laughed, muttering to himself.
"Little fatty, you don't seem to leave me any leeway at all? You have secretly conquered my family and my relatives. With such a conquest, what am I going to do next?"
Thanks to the master who can only be confused for the reward! Thank you for your support!!
