Chapter 863

Malibu, domay point manor.

It's early in the morning.

It's November, and Los Angeles still doesn't feel like winter.

Wearing a black sports suit, Veronica Johnston jogs on the private beach on the west side of domay point manor until sunrise. She follows the wooden steps along the cliff to return to the highland where the shell villa is located. Originally, she was going to go directly through the small square in front of the villa. She noticed a small man sitting by the pool and looking at the pool near the garden on the north side of the manor The two spotted billed wild ducks in the middle of the river are very melancholy.

So he went over.

Send away a short haired waitress who is next to the child. Veronica sits down next to Melbourne, touches the head of the little guy, and looks at the two ducks with his eyes.

Melbourne's little face was still worried, but it was polite to say, "good morning, Nana."

The child is used to a certain address. Veronica, who has hardly changed her face over the years, is the same. At the same time, she says good morning and asks, "Moore, what's the matter?"

Melbourne raised his hand and pointed to two spotted billed ducks in the pool, which had grown into adults after three months. He said: "last night, dad told me that when Jack and Emma grow to 100 days old, they will be sent away."

Veronica has been in Los Angeles for more than a month because of the annual report review of danielis entertainment. She doesn't live in the shell villa, but in an apartment on the west side of the villa. Besides work, she just comes to have dinner with us every morning and evening. At this point, Veronica heard from Melbourne and asked, "why do you do this?"

Melbourne looked forward to Veronica and said, "my father said that ducks should leave home and live independently now that they have grown up. My father also said that when I grow up to 18 years old, I will do the same."

Veronica touched the child's head again. "Do you think Dad's right?"

Melbourne hesitated a little, nodded, but quickly added, "but I don't want Jack and Emma to leave."

Veronica thought for a moment and said, "Moore, Nana also think that Dad's way is right. The two ducks have grown up and should return to their original living environment to live freely."

Seeing that Veronica didn't support herself, Melbourne quickly shook her head: "no, it's not like that."

Veronica quickly hugged the child and comforted her: "well, don't worry, tell Nana slowly."

Melbourne was hugged by Veronica, leaned on her, raised her head and said, "I know dad is right, but I saw on TV that there will be hunters killing Jack and Emma in the wild. It's very dangerous."

"Well, Mohr can rest assured that Dad will definitely choose a place where hunters are not allowed to hurt ducks, that is, the animal reserve. We went to this place when we were in Australia. Do you remember Mohr?"

"Remember," the little guy nodded and said, "but there are crocodiles and leopards. They can also hurt ducks."

Veronica patiently said, "Dad will also choose places without crocodiles and leopards. Moore, you should trust dad."

The little guy was obviously not convinced by Veronica: "Nana, even if Dad chooses a very safe place, Jack and Emma will still fly around, just like last time they almost ran out of the manor, and then they met the bad guys."

Veronica is a little quiet this time.

Of course, she knows what kind of danger two wild ducks will encounter outdoors. Hunting is not banned in most parts of California. Wild ducks happen to be the most hunted species every year.

Seeing Veronica stopped talking in Melbourne, she continued: "Nana, actually, Moore knows that his father wants to use two ducks to educate Moore. When he grows up, he will leave his parents and live alone. But even if Moore grows up and is in danger, mom and Dad, aunt Jennie, Nana, and grandparents, you'll all protect Moore, won't you? "

Veronica nodded without hesitation, turned her face and gently put a sticker on the little guy's head: "of course."

"Well," said the little fellow, pausing a little, as if organizing the language, "Mom and Dad, and everyone, even if Moore grows up, will protect him. Now that ducks have grown up, I can continue to protect them, can't I? "

"Well."

"So, I want duck to stay. Nana, our family is very big. Jack and Emma are very good. They won't cause any trouble. I want to protect them forever."

At this point, the little guy's eyes flickered a little. Obviously, he was guilty of remembering the scene that two ducks almost ran out of the manor last time and made a lot of people search for it.

Veronica did not notice the child's guilty, but suddenly thought of something, inexplicably red eyes, bowed her head in the little guy's forehead is a kiss, pulled the child up and said: "go, Nana with you and dad said, don't send the duck away."

Melbourne got up with Veronica, took her hand and said, "and, mom.""Well?"

"Mom, last time ducks ran around, she was very angry and said she wanted to eat roast duck."

Veronica walked to the villa with the little guy's hand and promised, "no, mom just said it."

"Mom didn't say that," the little guy retorted firmly, "but mom just doesn't eat Jack and Emma. I just want to protect Jack and Emma. Well, it's like, there are a lot of people in this world. When Moore grows up in the future, it's impossible to protect everyone. Moore will only protect his family and friends. "

"That's good." Veronica's voice softened a lot, and suddenly stopped. "Do you want Nana hugs? Moore liked Nana hugs most when he was a child?"

Little guy some expectations, but still shook his head: "Moore has grown up, and, dad saw will be angry."

Inherited the good genes of parents, Melbourne will be four years old next month, but it has reached 112cm in height, which is much stronger than children of the same age.

Veronica ignored the child's worries this time. Seeing the expectation of Melbourne, she reached out and picked up the little guy, saying, "we should be careful not to let your father see us."

Melbourne head buried in Veronica shoulder, feeling some familiar and warm atmosphere, whispered: "dad should be in the restaurant, Nana, I can come down outside the restaurant."

"Well."

As soon as she enters the villa hall, Veronica sees Simon walking towards the restaurant with Janet holding her arm.

The child's intuition is always very sharp. When he detects Veronica's slight pause, Melbourne immediately realizes something. With a little effort, he wants to slip out of Veronica's arms. From a little memory, the little guy knows that the scene his father dislikes most is Nana holding himself.

However, Veronica didn't let the baby down this time. She continued to hold the baby with a little force and patted him on the back placidly. She said, "after that, Moore will really grow up. Today, for the last time, Dad won't be angry."

The boy's head was buried in Veronica's shoulder again. He didn't dare to turn around and retort in a low voice: "it will."

"Well, after breakfast, Nana takes Moore out to play and comes back when dad is not angry."

The little guy thought it was a good solution, and he let out a whisper.

Anyway, it's Saturday. I don't need to go to school.

So Veronica has gone through the hall with Melbourne in her arms and joined Simon and his wife at the entrance of the restaurant on the west side of the villa. She turns a blind eye to Simon's cold eyes and Janet's playful smile and goes directly into the restaurant.

Jennifer, who is taking care of Seattle and little nick at the dining table with several waitresses, is about to laugh when Veronica comes in with Melbourne in her arms. Simon follows in and stops talking. She just says good morning to Veronica with a smile, and then puts little Nick back on the dining table In the seat.

Melbourne, even though she is not as smart as her sister Seattle, knows a lot of things very early. In fact, she likes her father very much, or should be said to adore him. Since she is a little sensible, even if she doesn't intend to, people around her always reveal more or less how powerful her father is.

Little children instinctively feel close to each other.

However, many times, he was afraid. For example, this time, he was held by Nana and asked his father to grab the bag. The little guy who used to sit beside his father and eat together only dares to stay by Veronica's side carefully.

The family sat down at the table and just started to eat. Veronica took the initiative to look at the head of the family opposite the table and said, "Moore just told me that he wants the ducks to stay and not be sent away. I think so."

Simon lowered his head to cut the breakfast in front of him and said, "why?"

Veronica was about to speak when the opposite voice added faintly, "let him talk."

Perceiving that her little body was leaning nervously towards her, Veronica simply took Melbourne to her lap, but ignored Simon's words and insisted: "Moore said that he understands that you want to teach him to be independent when he grows up by releasing Jack and Emma. However, he hopes that the two ducks can stay and protect them forever, just as he will grow up in the future It's like protecting your family. "

Melbourne, sitting on Veronica's lap, finds that Nana's words are not her own. However, it seems that it should be easier to persuade her father to say so, so she looks up carefully. It's just because she is timid. Before she can see her father's face clearly, she subconsciously takes them back.

There was a little silence at the table before another male voice said, "OK."

The atmosphere relaxed again.

Veronica lowered her head and said something in Melbourne's ear. The little guy looked up at her father and said, "thank you, Dad."

Seeing the father nodding slightly across the table, the boy took the initiative to jump off Veronica's leg again and said, "Nana, I can sit by myself."Veronica smiles to see the boy return to his position, reaches over and rubs his head, and says, "I'm going to take Moore out to play these two days."

"No way."

“……”

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little cold again, Janet looked like she was watching the play with a smile, so she had to say, "Moore hasn't been out for a long time. You can relax."

Simon still didn't let go.

Veronica didn't give in this time. She looked at Simon for a moment and insisted, "I've made an appointment with Moore, just to let you know."

Click.

All of a sudden, everyone can see that the expensive bone china plate in front of Simon has become half, and the man still keeps the posture of cutting fried eggs.

Seeing this situation, Janet no longer watched the fun, but quickly came over and hugged her man: "OK, OK, if you want to play, you can play. Anyway, you've grown up. Well, you can go out to play today. Weimi show, find a lot of goblins around you." Then he did not forget to turn to the Indian girl and said, "aliya, go to tell a to prepare the flight. Simon will leave for New York after breakfast."

When the Indian girl saw that other people, especially the man, had no objection, she nodded and stepped back.

At this time, Jennifer also stood up, white out of tune Janet a look, quickly put Simon in front of the broken plate and spilled breakfast away, replaced with a new one, and then also sat down next to the man, seems to be worried that some guy will be violent injury.

Across the table, Veronica saw Simon cut up the plate, and immediately regretted that she shouldn't have made a hard top with him.

So he softened his tone and found a reason to take the initiative to ease down and said, "I'll watch Moore finish his homework on time, and I won't pull him down."

Breakfast ended in a sort of cold atmosphere.

After breakfast, Janet personally dragged Simon out of the villa, took the man to the car, and rushed to the airport to fly to the east coast.

Today is November 11.

Saturday.

The fourth Victoria's secret show is held in New York tonight.

Simon didn't plan to attend this time. He planned to stay at domay point manor for the weekend with his family. However, after breakfast, Janet felt that it was better to drive someone far away.

Waiting for the man to drive away from the manor, Janet returns to the villa and comes to a living room on the east side of the hall. She seems to be very busy and falls on the sofa to watch her and two waitresses take care of her four children, big and small. During this period, Veronica came to say goodbye to Melbourne, who had changed her clothes and carried a small schoolbag. Janet just waved her hand on the sofa, looking very tired.

The female assistant nursed snow and Greenwich twins, watched them fall asleep on the crib, confirmed that little Nick, who was buried in a pile of building block toys under Zoe's care, didn't swallow anything, and finally kissed her daughter, who was sitting at a round table by the window and reading a large encyclopedia, on the face. Then she came to Janet's side.

As she relaxed and sat down on the carpet in front of Janet's sofa, Jennifer leaned up to her cheek and pasted it with Janet, smiling and whispering, "I still don't quite understand."

There were other waitresses, and Janet whispered, "jealous."

Still wanting to laugh, Jennifer and Janet clenched their ears: "it feels like a child's temper."

"Who said it wasn't?"

"Ha ha, it seems that I'm the only adult in this family. I'm very tired."

Janet didn't retort. She put her arms around her neck and began to act like a child: "Mom, mom, I want to drink apple juice, fresh."

Jennifer pressed Janet's arm and said, "let me have a rest. OK, I'll let Zoe get it for you."

Then she called Zoe parks and told her that when the maid left, she couldn't help looking at Janet and said, "I've only been at home for a week and I've been driven away by you again."

"If we don't get rid of it, if something happens, it will be more troublesome."

What Janet said was obscure. Of course, Jennifer understood it, but she shook her head and said, "I don't think so. How can it be?"

Janet thought of something that had happened many years ago, but it was not suitable to talk to her. She just hugged her assistant's arm tightly and said with a smile, "anyway, we're enough. We'll sleep together tonight."
