Chapter 72 — The Moving In And More Troubles
The next day passed in uneasy expectations of new encroachments, but all was quiet. Moreover, repair of Mason's apartment finally ended, and efforts on moving there with two children have completely occupied Mason and Mary's attention.
First Mason did not wish to ask anybody about the help, but having seen a heap of things, two children and Mary with her tummy collected in one place, he realized that they cannot manage it alone. His siblings delight agreed to help, and later Christie with Jimmy joined them. Very soon, a heap of the people that scurried about there here with boxes and packages captivated Mason's apartment.
Behind all this vanity nobody noticed how the car driven by Larry Duvall stopped near the house. He found that Mary comes back to live in the Capwell's apartment from the detective whom he hired to watch his own nieces. Now he waited when this chaos will come to the end, and at last, he'll get a chance to talk with Mary. He should see her and explain everything!
Christie has Chip on her hands; the toddler with delight observed of turmoil and thirsted in it. She constantly lasted to all entering and had to find all new ways to distract him. At last, he draws out to the window and began to show on running cars. Suddenly Christie pay the attention to one of all parked and run out the room.
She found Mary on the kitchen with the empty jar of the children's food in one hand and bedaubed Samantha in another one.
"Mary, Uncle Larry here!"
"Where? My God when he will leave us alone?! Take her!" Mary gave the second baby to Christie and run to the door with the angry and resolute look.
Having appeared in the street, she approached to Larry's car and silently stopped behind him. Larry did not expect that he'll quickly find by the niece, but decided that may be it is better way. He left the car and already wished to begin explanations when Mary declared: "If you do not leave us alone, I'll sue you for you for stalking us!"
"I just want to talk you."
"Moreover, I do not want. However, it's no matter for you, right?"
"Mary, I understand that you are angry with me, but believe me; I did want nothing bad--"
"Devils take it! Do you really understand that that if something is bad for Mason it's bad for me too?"
"I come to talk not about the Capwell."
"My surname is Capwell too now."
"You understand that I meant. Give to me five minutes, OK? Only five minutes, and I'll leave," he lifted the hand, promising.
"All right," Mary exhaled. "Five minutes and you will leave us alone?"
"I'll," Larry mentally crossed fingers. He did not hope that he can convince her in a something significant for five minutes, but at least it would begin. "Sit down," he opened car's door.
Mary begun to hesitate, but then she shook her head.
"No. I'm not Christie, and can not trust you."
"Well, OK," he did not insist. "Then we'll go there," he gestured to the square nearby.
Mary nodded, and they walk to the square.

In the meantime Christie who constantly looking out in the window to make sure that Mary is OK, suddenly with horror found out that Larry's car is empty and neither him, nor Mary anywhere is not near. She could not leave children and asked Ted to find Mason urgently. He appeared in some minutes and silently listened to news.
"I will find her," Mason shortly told and quickly walked to the door. "In next time you will call me directly instead of it, OK?"
"OK," Christie was afraid and upset. If the something happens with Mary, it will be her guilty!

Larry sits down on the bench in the square, and Mary did the same. Having pressed her teeth, Mary waited when he'll start the talking. The fear and contempt filled her more strongly and more strongly.
"You probably guess, why I wish to adjust with you relations so hard," Larry begins. Mary was silent, and he continued: "I promised to your father that I would take care of you and Christie. It was shortly before his death. We were twins, I should keep my promise."
"The father never would begin to interfere with my life!" Mary was indignant.
"He would become, if he thought that you make the mistake. What you would do if Christie would contact with the villain?"
"Mason is not the villain!" Mary jumped up, intending to leave. "Do not dare to name Mason like this! Seems to me that I made the mistake when I agreed to talk you — you do not hear me in any way."
"Wait. All right, I will not speak about Mason. However, really you don't want to ask something after all?"
"OK, well. I really want," Mary stands up opposite to him. Larry does too. "Uncle Larry if you wished so nobly to comply with the request of his died twin brother why you appeared on our horizon just now? Where you were when we're — my mom, Christie and me — when all of us really needed in your help?"
