Getting on the plane back home seemed to announce that the dust had settled.
Looking at the baby in my arms, I couldn’t help but think of the uncountable babies in that room and Hank.
“Where’s Hank?” I asked Dennis.
It’s not that I still want to be his salvation, but after all, I know each other, and I don’t want him to end up in the dark.
“Made a deal, and he won’t be back in the future.” Dennis said lightly.
“Hank helped out with the success of this plan?”
“Hmm.” Dennis inclined his head to look at me, his dark eyes as dark as ink, “He was the one who made Edward think, wrongly, that I had been lured to the other side of Country M long before I had the chance to follow you all the way from the airport to his lair.”
“I don’t understand, if that’s the case, why did he have to do Edward’s job for him and lure me to Country M in the first place?”
Dennis pressed the corners of his mouth, acting hopelessly, “Must I say it’s because you’re too charming?”
“Hmm?” I wondered.
“It’s true that Hank didn’t want to see you with me, but he didn’t want to see you die even more, and after learning from Edward that you were that sick, he reached out to me on one condition, that I save your life.” Dennis said.
I suddenly felt very uncomfortable in my heart.
Hank can’t get out of the bull’s-eye, and indeed took a wrong turn, hurting the people closest to me, which can’t be erased, and the debt between us, as early as the moment he joined forces with Edward, has been written off.
He is always unwilling to hurt me, is to tell me no matter how I can not forget the existence of this person.
Dennis noticed that I was not in the right mood, reached around and swept me into his arms, patting me gently to soothe, “Don’t worry, you don’t owe him, Hank’s wife and children I have returned to him.”
I just want to open my mouth to blame him for doing so indecent, Dennis preemptively blocked my words, “Not me, just Toby looking for our son when the rescue by hand, just to sell a favor.”
The disaster is not as bad as the wife and children, especially if you have personally experienced this pain, more do not want the same thing to happen to others, fortunately, the people I love as I would like, will not violate the bottom line.
But thankfully, the heart is still not quite sure, “Hank may not appreciate it.”
In Hank’s eyes, Shaw and Steve have always been a liability, and how could they be a bargaining chip in exchange for saving me.
“It’s one thing for him to claim it or not, it’s another thing for me to do it or not, in any case we owe him a favor to pay it back, and so do you, no need to be soft-hearted in the future.”
…
Luna, not knowing where she heard the superstition, was at the entrance of the Kennedy Residence early and insisted that I carry the baby across the fire pit.
Although helpless, he still obediently listened to the words.
A group of people gathered around me and the kids and walked into the living room, bustling like it was Christmas.
After sitting down, the afterglow glanced at a figure that looked extraordinarily lonely amidst the noise.
It was Deborah, standing far from the stairway, smiling awkwardly but not daring to lean over, fiddling with her fingers intentionally or unintentionally to conceal her helpless state.
“Deborah,” I called to her with a smile, “you don’t welcome me back?”
Suddenly hearing her name, Deborah froze for a moment before responding with surprise, “Why yes! I’ve been waiting for you guys every day!”
I laugh, “So you don’t want to come over and see what the baby looks like?”
The smile on Deborah’s face suddenly spread, her eyes narrowed into a crescent shape, and she happily came over and carefully took the baby from my arms, mumbling, “Baby, auntie will remember you well and won’t be mistaken again~”
The child was stolen Leo must have had a hard time with Deborah, this period of time she may not be better than us, now so much better, everyone is happy, but hopefully this day can just go on.
“The baby is already a month old and you parents haven’t named them yet, not good enough!” Folly, always heartless, joked around.
Dennis looked down and exchanged a look with me, indicating that it was up to me to make the decision.
I was afraid that if the baby didn’t have a name and didn’t know he was attached, he wouldn’t be able to find it, so this was something I had in mind when I was at Country M.
With little hesitation, I blurted out, “The babies were born in the winter, so they’re called Jamie and Snow.”
“Good to hear eh, baby, from now on you will be called Jamie, in the future to grow into a big man ah!” Deborah is happy to tease the child, the baby also does not recognize the birth, the two good like biological, the picture is warm and harmonious.
“Snow ….” Folly held my daughter in her arms for a moment and asked, “What about the last name?”
I pursed my lips and smiled at Dennis before adding, “My daughter, like Clarie, takes my last name, Snow Kennedy, and my son, Jamie, Jamie George, and I hope they all have a peaceful and uneventful life ahead of them.”
“Good, good start, here, this is the cross necklace I prepared for the children, each one, put it on.” Luna took out the long-prepared jewelry box, and asked Deborah and Folly to put them on for their children respectively.
Just put it on, the man who had been following Samuel suddenly came around to the middle of the living room, and in front of everyone, bent his knee on the coffee table and opened the briefcase in his hand, and took out two documents from it.
“Ladies and gentlemen, if I may say a few words,” the man cleared his throat and the attention of the crowd was immediately drawn to him, “as legal counsel for The Lewis Group, I would like to announce on behalf of Mr. Samuel that effective immediately, Snow Kennedy and Jamie George, will each own ten percent of The Lewis Group’s shares, valued at approximately three and a half billion dollars.”
After the lawyer’s words, the crowd looked at each other and smiled. The people in the room were rich, so naturally they were all happy for the two children.
The lawyer then spread the document in front of me with a respectful attitude, “Mrs. George, just have the two children put their handprints on it, and the agreement will be effective immediately.”
After he finished, he smoothly opened the seal clay he brought and made a gesture of invitation.
I nodded my head, indicating that I knew.
The eyes swept the documents on the table, ten percent and three and a half billion specific to the minutes of the number is very eye-catching, but in my case, but a little harsh.
After considering it, I raised my hand, closed the agreement, and pushed it back to the lawyer.
“Mrs. George you are …?” The smile on the lawyer’s face came to a screeching halt.
As a lawyer, of course, I knew that he would be paid a considerable amount of money for completing this agreement, but all I can say is that I’m sorry I had to cut him off.
I didn’t answer and smiled directly at Samuel, “I’m sorry Mr. Lewis, I appreciate your kindness on behalf of the children, but these, we can’t take.”
Samuel frowned in disbelief and was about to speak up when Luna took over, “Don’t feel pressured, it’s just a little token of appreciation from the elders to the juniors.”
A little? Three billion or so, Luna is getting richer and richer.
“No.” I insisted, “These things are too heavy, the babies are too young, and I don’t want them to carry too much on their backs.”
Family wealth, born to stand at the top of the pyramid, so what, to face, to endure what is not the ordinary people ten times a hundred times, such a life is too tired.
Perhaps in the future they will choose to follow this path on their own, but as a mother, I will not put chains on them right from the start.
“Just go with the flow.” Dennis’ voice rang out faintly, not heavy, but a hammer.
