Simon did not return to Los Angeles until the day before Thanksgiving on November 23, and the two Jennys and their three little guys happened to return from Australia on the same day.
Sophia is still staying in Greenwich and plans to spend Thanksgiving in the United States with her family as the Romans do.
After three consecutive days of tenderness, when Simon left, the woman said with some fantasy that she felt that there was already a little one in her belly, most likely a girl named Snow Westeros.
Dume Point Estate.
The time is November 24th.
Thanksgiving Day.
Because of the jet lag, she slept very late last night. The morning sunlight had already filled the circular master bedroom of Shell Villa. Janet still refused to get up, and forcibly pulled Simon to use as a pillow.
I have no work schedule today, so I stay in bed with the woman very patiently.
In fact, Jennifer also slept here last night, but the female assistant had no intention of being obsessive. The three little ones still needed her to take care of them, so she got up early.
It wasn't until about ten o'clock that Janet's sleepiness completely disappeared. She rubbed her ears against the man's body and became interested again. When she finally got up, it was already close to noon. After taking a shower and changing clothes, we held Simon's arm and went downstairs together as we did when we first fell in love.
Lunch is ready.
Jennifer had just placed the three little ones at the dining table. When she saw Janet walking in with Simon hanging on her arm, she rolled her eyes slightly pretending to be helpless: "I was wondering whether to wake you up."
Janet let go of Simon with a smile, leaned over and hugged the female assistant, and kissed her on the lips ruthlessly. Then she sat next to Seattle, kissed her good daughter on the cheek again, and looked at the big girl next to her. The son smiled evilly and pointed at Simon behind him: "Baby, tell your dad how your grandpa taught you to hunt."
Simon hugged Jennifer, walked to Melbourne and sat down, rubbed the little guy's head and said, "Come on, let's talk."
Although women take care of them most of the time, in the family, except for Veronica, Melbourne has always been closer to Simon. Hearing what his parents said, the little guy started to talk about the time he spent in the tower a few days ago. Hunting experience on Smania Island.
It was probably the tragic incident of a group of sheep being killed by a BB gun.
While eating lunch, everyone listened to Melbourne's stuttering narration. Janet directed her attention to Seattle as if she was offering a treasure, and said to Simon: "Guess what our Cyril has learned during this time?"
Simon smiled cooperatively and asked, "What?"
Janet didn't answer directly. She turned around and asked the little girl who was originally focused on eating her food: "Come on, honey, let's do an arithmetic problem. What is the addition from 1 to 100?"
Seattle, who has just celebrated his first birthday, still has the tenderness of a baby on his face and body, but his expression is already very vivid, especially when paired with a pair of beautiful eyes, it becomes even more lively. When the little girl heard this, she just turned her head and glanced lightly. Janet glanced at her and continued to eat her lunch with a spoon, looking cold and arrogant like, "Can you please stop being so childish?"
Unlike little Nick, who is still ignorant, Seattle, who is born with extraordinary intelligence, is no longer the little girl who was called Simon's mother by Janet six months ago.
Seeing that her daughter didn't answer, Janet was not embarrassed at all and continued to encourage: "Okay, okay, we have already calculated this question, it is too simple. So, let's change to a more difficult one, what is the addition from 1 to 1000?"
After saying that, everyone waited for a moment, and the little girl who concentrated on eating a few mouthfuls of purple sweet potato and glutinous rice porridge in her small bowl finally raised her head, glanced at Janet again, and then looked at Jennifer opposite: "Mom, why do you always Are you asking me this kind of question?"
“…”
Jennifer looked at Janet who looked depressed, held back her laughter, and said to her daughter in a gentle tone: "Because mom thinks Sylvia is very smart, and she is proud of it. She also hopes that everyone knows Sylvia is smart."
The little girl thought for a moment and seemed to understand.
Then start to continue your lunch.
Simon leaned over and glanced at his daughter sitting next to Janet: "So, does Syl know the answer to the question just now?"
Seattle looked up again and nodded.
Simon waited a moment.
Then…
Then…
Still no movement.
Can only give up.
The female assistant who was watching all this finally couldn't help it and chuckled.
After lunch, Janet was taken by Jennifer to prepare for tonight's Thanksgiving dinner, and the three little guys were sent to Simon to take care of them.
Know that it is the parent-child time that women specially create for themselves.
Simon did not refuse and took the children to play in the mini playground in the manor until four o'clock in the afternoon. Janet came over and took the children to some enlightenment courses. All three children had already started similar education early.
A purpose-built private school for children in urban Malibu has been completed and will start in Melbourne next year.
If it was just about learning knowledge, Simon would prefer family education. However, he also knew that children went to school mainly to learn the skills of getting along with others subtly.
The three little guys were taken away by Janet. Simon had a short period of free time and came to his office in the Shell Villa. He dealt with some work emails and listened to Girl A's report on some important matters.
"The news from Washington is that yesterday afternoon, the Department of Justice held an internal meeting on the Disney acquisition. The result of the discussion was that it still does not intend to re-examine the acquisition. The White House spokesperson also made a similar statement yesterday. "
"Craig Ames released a statement via Facebook last night stating that he will not participate in political campaigns in the future."
“This morning, the Miami Herald in Miami, Florida published a report accusing the National Rifle Association and the Westeros System of serious interference in the just past Central District election, calling on the state government to enact stricter campaign regulations to prevent Local elections are being manipulated by capital. Our PR team has countered and followed up on the Miami Herald's report."
"The naturalization process for Miss Lin Su and Chen Qing and the procedures for entering Columbia University to study for an MBA have been completed."
"Mr. Jorma Olia returned to Finland from China yesterday. During this trip, Nokia reached an agreement with China to invest an additional US$150 million in the next two years to build an R&D center and three mobile phone foundries in China."
"Sergey Komorov sent a recent project investment report of Oldek Company. The company's total expenditure in the past three months was 17 million US dollars, among which the more important project was to undertake the project of Rivne A natural gas company in the state and a company that breeds foxes and minks provide special fur breeding solutions for Melisandre's companies."
"My father has already discussed with several senior executives of Yigrite about the fulfillment of the equity incentive clauses in the original contract before the IPO. This is the relevant memorandum."
"As of yesterday afternoon's close, AOL's market value exceeded US$100 billion, reaching US$103.7 billion, becoming the third company with a market value of 100 billion in the North American stock market after Daenerys Entertainment and Cisco. General Electric and Microsoft followed closely, with market values respectively. It is US$97.2 billion and US$93.5 billion, and is expected to exceed the 100 billion mark before the New Year.”
“…”
“…”
Inside the office.
Girl A skillfully listed a series of matters that Simon needed to know personally, and attached a thick stack of relevant documents.
The printer in the corner of the room was buzzing.
Knowing that it was some email data printed by her boss, Girl A walked over, took out the printed documents and sorted them out. She glanced at them inadvertently. There was no title, and the content seemed to be about some personnel issues in Ukraine.
Alison is basically aware of many public-level affairs in Ukraine. Since they have bypassed her and come to Simon's hands, they are obviously matters that are not very visible.
Thinking of this, Girl A didn't look at it much and just sent it to Simon.
Simon took the document handed over by Girl A, crossed his legs and leaned on the leather chair to read through the pages.
After a trip to Ukraine in August, Simon not only made some additional plans for the country, but also began to further increase investment.
This is the bright side.
Secretly, the matter of exporting Ukrainian gangs has been advancing. Naturally, Simon will not personally operate it. However, a lot of layout information will be sent to him through the Westeros family’s intelligence network. Many people recruited by the Westeros system Members of the former Soviet KGB also entered various parts of Europe through this kind of transportation, becoming another more secretive underground intelligence network.
As for the series of spokespersons in Ukraine, Simon does not fully trust them. The two sides have not established a basis for mutual trust, so they have been sending people to monitor what these people do.
The report in hand is the monitoring result of the intelligence team.
Everyone has selfish motives.
People are also fickle.
Simon has never had high expectations for people's hearts. He only hopes that those who work for the Westeros system will keep their due responsibilities. On this basis, if you do more, he will give it to you without hesitation. More.
It's a pity that some people inevitably become restless when they suddenly gain power and think that the sky is high and the emperor is far away.
Among them were the officers of the Ukrainian Frontline Military Company, the management of Sergei Komorov's Oldek Company, which Simon strongly supported, and the forces that Simon planned to cultivate as 'foreign relatives'.
With the support of the Westeros system, some people bully others, some line their own pockets, some take advantage of others, and some try to stand on their own.
To name a few.
It had been expected, but Simon had no emotions about it.
Moreover, what is satisfying is that most of the spokespersons still maintained their duties, and there were no problems with the core members such as Klim Derevyanko and Sergey Komorov.
Among the six major foreign relatives who were supported by six small vases, Simon's favorite father of Ekaterina Noskova, Maxim Noskov, even made Reeves famous in just a few months. The fertilizer plant in Nigeria is back on track and has even begun discussing mergers and expansions with several surrounding states.
As for the families behind the other five small vases, except for the Lyudaev family, which was involved in the media field of Rovne Oblast, and met Simon's expectations, the other four families all had some problems more or less.
Some have the possibility of continuing to use them after beating them, while others can only be given up.
This was also expected.
In fact, both creatures, 'Quilima' and 'Bole', are very common, but it is less common for the two to meet.
In his initial expectations, Simon only hoped that one of the six families could be used, which would be good. Now he has obtained two families, Noskov and Lyudaev, which is still beyond expectations.
Seeing that Simon was concentrating on reading the document, Girl A sat down on the sofa in the reception area next to her. When the man raised his head again, Alison stood up and walked over, looked at her boss's expression, and asked tentatively: "Boss, do you need to arrange a trip to Ukraine? "
Simon shook his head.
Thinking about the girl's little move just talking about the Miami Herald, she still won't be able to leave the United States in the near future.
"Let's talk about it after the New Year," Simon said, thought for a moment, and then added: "Let people bring Noskova and Lyudaeva to live in North America for a while, and just say that I invite them to come and play, um, arrange They go to estates in the western suburbs of Toronto.”
Two girls, one 14 and one 16, were unfit to enter the United States.
Canada is different.
At this stage, the legal age for certain things in Maple Leaf Country is still 14 years old.
Since it is a rule, it is best not to give people any leverage. Simon has always paid attention to this kind of thing. It can be avoided, so there is no need to leave hidden dangers for himself.
Of course, the exception is the Gralf family.
Simon once thought that if he was no longer interested, or if he was noticed and posed a threat, he would quietly clean it up.
Women's sixth sense is always very sensitive.
Victoria Gralf was probably keenly aware of certain crises, so she stabbed her mother in the chest. Now, although Simon has temporarily given up on ruthless ways to destroy flowers, he has not completely given up on certain thoughts. Since Clark Graff originally planned to hire assassins to assassinate the Westeros family, this was the original sin.
Girl A did not go to Ukraine with Simon last time, but she knew that Simon had raised six small vases and other arrangements in Rivni City. She nodded after hearing this.
I roughly guessed that my boss wouldn't do this for no reason.
It is likely that this kind of favoritism is to give some people some reminders or warnings.
After explaining this matter, Simon began to look through the relevant documents on a series of matters that Girl A had just reported. It was not until about five o'clock that Janet came over to remind her that it would be dinner time soon, and then she stopped working and left the study.
Although it is very suitable to live in because it is like spring all year round, Los Angeles' unchanging nature inevitably makes many festivals lack some of the festive atmosphere they should have.
Just like Christmas.
This important holiday is obviously more suitable for the snow-covered weather on the East Coast.
Too bad it doesn’t snow in Los Angeles.
Fortunately, the atmosphere is enough to celebrate the holiday with a family and enjoy a lively Thanksgiving dinner.
After dinner, they continued to nest in a small living room in Shell Villa, watching TV, chatting, and coaxing the children. Unknowingly, it was already late at night. After sending the three sleeping little guys to the children's room, Simon and the other two arrived. The round master bedroom in Shell Villa.
Cape Dume is the highest point on the nearby coastline, and the circular bedroom of Shell Villa is the highest point on this streamlined building like a work of art. You can almost see a 360-degree view of the surrounding scenery.
It's around ten o'clock in the evening.
To the east, downtown Los Angeles still has the lights of the same name, to the west the suburbs are dark, to the north are the dots of downtown Malibu, and to the south is the vast expanse of sea and sky.
Being in it is like a dream.
In this kind of atmosphere, there is no need for too much intimacy, just a simple embrace, and the whole world surrounding them can squeeze the three people in the center tightly together, and their hearts are connected.
It's like being surrounded by the world, but also like owning the whole world.
