April 17.

UNSC and non-UNSC delegations, under Umbrella's arrangement, have thoroughly browsed the colony satellites of the Moon City.

At 14:00 at Haffa, all representatives boarded Um-255 and returned to Earth under the escort of Viking fighters.

After sending off these representatives, William took the Phantom to return to Hafa City.

After all, Halsey has completely completed all the affairs of handing over to Pluto, and returned to Hafa City as early as this afternoon with the three members of the Blue Team who have become Primarchs.

William did something sorry for Halsey. He was ashamed. After the Phantom arrived in the sky above the Troy base, he did not say hello to Andre, so he took the Pelican directly to the manor by the sea.

14:40.

The three blue team guards of the William family returned to their houses after arriving at the manor without disturbing the reunion of the Halsey family.

The living room on the first floor of a sea view villa.

I saw Halsey, dressed in casual clothes, sitting on the sofa with Yelena and Ivan in school uniforms, watching news about the meeting between William and representatives of various parties.

Yelena and Ivan at this time have also undergone major changes compared to last year.

First of all, Yelena has become more and more mature, and her body is more and more similar to her mother Halsey, with long blond hair, snow-white skin, and her height has surpassed her mother Halsey.

Ivan's height is even more amazing, even sitting on the sofa, half a head taller than his mother Halsey.

The figure is no longer as slender as before, but tends to be between the standard and the strong, handsome, tough, and his face is more like his father William.

The twins are already ten years old. When school starts again in September this year, they will enter junior high school when they are two or three years younger than their peers.

Today is Friday, and there is still one hour before school.

However, if the siblings wanted to ask for leave, the school had no reason to stop them, so the siblings returned home from school early and stayed with their mother, whom they had not seen for nearly half a year.

Like Yelena, who is the most active and loves to stick to William, she is also uncharacteristically holding Halsey's left arm, acting like a baby with her mother.

"Mom." On the other hand, Ivan is much more normal. Watching the news on TV, he asked Halsey who was sitting between him and his sister:

"I think Melengo and John are both three meters tall. Sister Carl is also about 2.7 meters tall. Did they have a second operation?"

"Yes." Halsey did not hide anything, and explained with a smile on his face: "Their secondary reconstruction operation is closely related to the company's Astarte plan."

"Yeah." Ivan nodded thoughtfully.

"..., according to the latest information known to our reporters, Umbrella’s owner, William Russell, seems to have reached an agreement with the UNSC to deploy Umbrella’s super soldiers in various UNSC jurisdictions. On the colony, to minimize the tragedy of Sirius IV, next..."

It happened that the news host at this time was also broadcasting a message about Astarte.

"Mom..." After hearing the news, Yelena swayed Halsey and asked, "When will Dad go home? He hasn't been home for more than a week..."

"Hey..." After hearing Yelena's words, Halsey sighed helplessly.

After all, she was away from home for nearly half a year before Yelena quarreled to see her, and it only took William a few days...

Now she can finally fully understand the Chinese culture,'daughter is a lover in a previous life','mother is just a delivery express' and so on.

"Click-."

When Halsey wanted to answer Yelena, the door of the villa was opened.

The three people in the living room turned their heads and saw William in a suit, walked into the villa and closed the door.

"Smelly dad~!"

Seeing that it was William coming home, Yelena immediately let go of the hands that hugged Halsey, jumped and ran to William's body, spreading her arms to embrace William.

It seemed that he wanted to make William'hug and hold high'.

"Daughter..." William looked at Yelena, who was already slim, and explained helplessly: "How old are you, why do you want Dad to hug you?"

"I don't care, I'm only ten years old~" Yelena said coquettishly.

"Hey..." William naturally couldn't help his daughter. He sighed, and opened his left hand. He easily hugged Yelena, who was nearly one meter seven.

As soon as he picked Yelena, Halsey and Ivan came to him.

Facing Halsey's gaze, William pretended to be calm and did not dodge, nor did he show any guilty conscience and smiled:

"I'm back."

"Yeah." Halsey didn't notice William's abnormality either, and said with a slight smile:

"Rebecca and I have just returned from Pluto, and now the director of the Pluto laboratory facility has been replaced by a doctor (049)."

"Sister." And Ivan looked at Yelena who was hugging William and persuaded:

"You better come down. Father can't do anything else with you. You are no longer a five-year-old."

"Hey, smelly brother, OK, can't I get down, dad, let me down."

Yelena gave Ivan a blank look, but asked William to put her back on the ground. After all, William couldn't do anything with her in this way.

"..."

Instead, William looked at the family gathered beside him and smiled from the bottom of his heart.

Fortunately, he restrained himself and didn't go one step further with Serena, otherwise, William really didn't know how to face his family.

You can't do anything fishy.

"Alright." Halsey at this moment, raised his hand and patted the top of her two children, and said in a tough tone:

"I won't say anything if you quit school early today, but hurry up and do homework for me, or you will deduct your pocket money this month."

"I see." Ivan still replied very obediently, then turned and walked towards the stairs, preparing to return to the room upstairs to do his homework.

"Okay..." Yelena wanted William to take her to play, but no matter how her father listened to her mother, she had to go back to the house with her brother.

"Kang Dang-." (x2)

Soon, there were two closing sounds from upstairs.

Seeing that all the children who could disturb him had left, Halsey no longer showed a stern mother's face. Instead, he put his arms around William's waist and walked up to William's ear and asked:

"I've been on Pluto for so many days, do you miss me? After the kids fall asleep tonight, let's go to sleep outside?"

Hearing what Halsey said, William immediately put aside the guilt on the Moon City, and there was nothing to worry about.

He backhanded Halsey up high, and lowered his voice: "If you don't go home again, the relationship between me and my right hand will get better and better."

"Hehe." Halsey also put his hands around William's neck, almost charmingly said:

"Tonight, I am on."

So far, after William and UNSC held a meeting to deploy super soldiers, mankind once again entered a wave of colonization, and construction and economy have also developed rapidly.
