Chapter 1046 There Is Nothing New Under the Sun

The helicopter landed at a manor in East Hampton. Grace got off the plane with a pair of children, and Simon greeted him.

Embracing the shy Grace, Simon stretched out his hand to greet a pair of teenagers: "Hi, Ray, and Rita."

I already knew some things on the road, but when the siblings faced Simon, they were still unavoidably restrained and unavoidable embarrassment. Although, some time ago, their father also brought a new girlfriend who was much younger than him to meet with his sister and brother, but the father's little girlfriend and mother's little boyfriend always felt the same.

What's more, it's still Simon Westeros.

It was because Grace didn't know how to talk to her child about her pregnancy, plus a little selfishness that hoped that the two children and Simon would recognize each other, and this meeting came about. Seeing Simon and a pair of children greeting her, Grace's shyness became even stronger. After everyone greeted them and walked to the villa together, they subconsciously walked on the other side of Simon, and separated her little man from the two children.

It is already late autumn on the East Coast of the United States, and the sky is getting shorter.

It was not yet six o'clock in the afternoon, and the setting sun in the eastern sky had already plunged into the horizon. Everyone entered the villa and went directly to the restaurant to start the already prepared dinner.

"Your mother said that you like Chinese food very much, and it happens that I also like it very much, so I invited a Chinese chef tonight." Taking Grace to the side of the table, Simon said to the teenagers and girls sitting opposite: "Since yesterday Just start preparing, it's very rich, you can taste it later."

Rita Spoulte sat down on the chair that the waitress had pulled out, and after hearing what Simon said, she quickly said, "Thank you, Simon."

"It's nothing," Simon said, not forgetting the boy, and said to Lei with a smile: "Can I drink, Chinese food is actually very suitable for drinking?"

Ray looked at his mother subconsciously. Grace is the kind of parent who absolutely forbids their children to drink before the legal age. However, this time, she lowered her eyebrows and did not respond at all, letting Simon call the shots.

The mother didn't speak, and Lei didn't dare to agree without authorization. He shook his head and said, "No need, Simon, um, thank you."

"Drink a little. I prepared a kind of rice wine from China. The degree is very low. Drinking less is good for the body."

Seeing what Simon said, Ray had no choice but to nod: "Well, okay."

Grace finally reacted, seeing Simon persuading her son to drink, she subconsciously wanted to object, hesitated a little, but still didn't speak.

Rita, who was sitting directly opposite her, was speechless when she saw her mother like this.

Is this still the shrewd and capable mother on weekdays?

Simon and Ray chatted a few words, then turned to Rita again: "If I remember correctly, Rita, you are in the 12th grade this year, are you sure which university you are going to go to?"

Rita quickly retracted her mind from her mother and responded instinctively, "I plan to apply for Columbia University."

Simon actually knew this. The girl was for a certain boy from Levison's family. The other two stayed in New York for her, and Rita also went to Columbia with her. However, he didn't break any of this. He nodded slightly and continued. : "What major are you optimistic about?"

"International Relations."

Simon remembered that Lin Su also studied international relations at University, and nodded: "Great choice."

Rita blinked, and couldn't help but look at her mother like her younger brother just now. She initially talked to her parents about this, but they were all against it. Unexpectedly, the other side... Simon Westeros actually agreed with him.

Immediately, he felt that he might just be being polite.

Simon noticed the change in the girl's expression and smiled: "Don't you think I'm just being polite?"

Rita suddenly felt a little guilty.

Simon's expression was more serious: "You are wrong, I am really optimistic about you learning this major, because standing in the class we are in, the pattern and vision are more important than the specific professional ability. Ordinary people of children study architecture, medicine, computers, etc., just because these are the most direct and obvious ways to change their lives, and we, standing on a higher level, whether it is state relations, psychology or philosophy, these are very important to ordinary people. Things that are very illusory are actually more practical. This is my personal experience. When a company is very small, managers need various professional skills, but when a company reaches a certain level, management ideas tend to be philosophical. So, while majoring in international relations, you can try psychology or philosophy as an elective at that time, which will be very helpful for your future.”

After listening to Simon carefully, Rita nodded and said, "Thank you, Simon, I remember it."

"Oh, you don't need to be so polite all the time, take it easy."

Grace next to her silently listened to the words of the little man beside her, her nervousness gradually eased, and some tenderness appeared in her heart again.

After all, if the little man were not close, he would definitely not say these words casually, and even this should have been a life experience that he would impart to his children.

After chatting so casually, it was dark outside, and the waiter also began to serve carefully prepared dinners.

The fact that teenagers and girls like Chinese food is actually a matter of the past two years. In the final analysis, it is because Grace was influenced by Simon. However, with the delivery of the same Chinese food that the siblings hadn't even heard of, the teenagers and girls realized that the Chinese food styles they had tasted in the past were only the tip of the iceberg.

Even with the occasional reminder to remain modest in front of Simon Westeros, the two unknowingly ate a lot.

Simon also shared a jar of Shaoxing rice wine with his siblings.

After dinner, everyone came to a living room in the villa, and the waitresses brought tea to relieve the tiredness after the meal, and Simon officially talked to the siblings about Grace's pregnancy.

Although I thought this time was just a gathering where my mother confessed her lover to them, but after a dinner, the sister and brother accepted it very easily. After all, Rita, who was more sophisticated than her brother, boldly asked about herself. Some arrangements made by the unborn brother or sister, and knowing that the child will be named Westeros, the girl felt a little jealous, but she was also quite satisfied.

This shows that Simon Westeros is serious about his mother and even a little guy. Although, he certainly cannot become his stepfather or something.

Everyone chatted until more than nine o'clock in the evening, and finally Grace took the initiative to speak and sent Simon out of the villa. The two children must live here tonight, and even if the relationship has been revealed, she is too embarrassed to sleep with him.

After sending the man away, Grace brought her pair of children back to the living room just now, patted her daughter who was naturally snuggling up, looked at her son again, and finally said after a little hesitation, "So, do you have any questions? ?"

Rita curiously stretched out a small hand to her mother's abdomen: "Mom, how long has it been?"

Grace held down her daughter's wiggly little hand, her face couldn't help turning red again, and she whispered, "It's only been a month, I just found out recently, I can't touch it."

Rita rubbed her mother's shoulder tenderly, and said, "I think... Simon is very good, and he is good enough for his mother, even, much better than the girlfriend his father found, and we had dinner together last time. I feel like it's a vase."

Grace paused and defended her ex-husband: "Men actually like vases, and it will be easy to get along with each other."

Rita retorted: "Mom is not a vase."

"Of course," Grace said, curling the corners of her mouth, "because Simon is also different."

Rita couldn't help laughing: "I see, Mom, what you actually mean is that Dad only looks for vases."

"Don't say that about your father, he'll be sad."

"Of course I won't say it to his face," Rita said, thinking of something again, and glancing at her mother's expression, she couldn't help but ask, "Mom, did you ... divorce your father because of Simon? ?"

Grace hesitated slightly, but nodded, "Yes."

Seeing her mother's appearance a little uneasy, Rita slapped her again: "Actually, it's easy to imagine that Simon is so good. If he wasn't my mother's lover, I couldn't help but grab it."

Grace knew that it was her daughter who took the initiative to excuse herself, but hearing her say that, her eyes widened slightly, thinking of the three mothers and daughters she had helped him with at first.

My little man is definitely not a good person.

Although he thought he shouldn't mess with him, he quietly decided in private to try his best to prevent him from seeing his daughter.

Raising her hand and stroking her daughter's hair, Grace thought of her son again and asked Lei, who had been silent beside him, "Baby, what are you thinking?"

Ray subconsciously shook his head.

Compared with daughters, sons are inevitably more complicated when their mothers find another man. However, as his sister said, Simon Westeros is too high, and Ray can't even feel much resistance, he just can't help but recall some of Simon's words at the dinner table.

The man also asked about his plans for the future, which university he wanted to go to and what major he wanted to study.

Lei is only one year younger than his sister, and he has to consider going to college next year. However, before that, he hadn't really thought about it too seriously. After all, the changes in his family in the past two years have made the boy very satisfied.

Then, some words from Simon Westeros inadvertently changed Ray's outlook on life.

Compared with his sister, Lei is a person who lacks assertiveness.

And the man said that no matter what university or major he goes to in the future, he should approach the world with a conqueror's mentality, not to integrate himself into the crowd, and not to deliberately change his principles for some interpersonal relationships. It's about trying to get others to change for you, to be the leader.

Not only that, the other party also said that he will give him some support in the future, so that he has the confidence to do so.

Seriously, even though his father has quickly become the core executive of First Boston in the past two years, and even if his mother controls the world's largest modeling agency, many times, in front of his more prominent classmates at Dalton Middle School, Lei also It is inevitable to feel powerless.

Things have apparently started to turn in the other direction.

While thinking about it, the first decision Ray made was to refuse the fact that during the day, his best friend wanted him to find some models to celebrate his cousin's 18th birthday. Gerald's family is also an old money family in the United States, and the other's cousin's family background is definitely not too bad. If it was before, considering that he might have broken up with the best buddies or even the friendship he had been with for two years, he might have violated the rules set by his mother and his own insistence.

Now, there is definitely no need to do that anymore.

Shouldn't have done that.

After all, if he really does these things, even if he doesn't charge a penny, in the eyes of many people, he may be reduced to some kind of pimp role, in the eyes of those old money kids who are already above the top. , a pimp, destined to be looked down upon. Even if some people get closer to him in order to get in touch with those models in the future, it will only be something else, and his certain identity will be more firmly established, and it will be impossible to enter the core of some high-end circles in the future.

On the other side, Simon was framed

Lace rushed out and spent the night in a nearby mansion where a mother and daughter surnamed Liu were raised.

Came to Grace again after breakfast the next day.

Today is October 26th, Friday.

The siblings still had to go to school. After breakfast, they took a helicopter back to Manhattan. Grace continued to stay. When Simon arrived, the woman was sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs of the villa watching TV. Lazy look.

Holding the woman's body and lying on the sofa together, Simon also looked at the TV.

On the screen is a current affairs commentary from CNN in the morning, and the content is still the approaching US election vote.

It is already the end of October, and this month's routine "October Surprise" is quite lively, and it also makes Simon feel a certain deja vu.

For example, the Republican Party started to attack the funding source of Clinton's campaign team from the end of September, and created a "pass through the door", um, not much to say, in short, things were fermenting throughout October, and it was very lively.

In addition, it is Clinton's private life.

At the beginning of the month, it was suddenly revealed that Clinton raped a female government employee during her tenure as attorney general in Arkansas, and together with the rosy news that continued to appear in Clinton's first term, it could be said that there was a lot of uproar.

On Clinton's side, he continued to talk about the physical problems of his 73-year-old rival Bob Dole, accusing the other party that he might not be able to assume the presidency.

All in all, the various accusations of the two sides are revealed, the excuses used and certain things that happened in Simon's memory are as clear as words.

History always repeats itself in cycles.

The events of the past month have given Simon a taste of what is meant by nothing new under the sun.

Grace leaned in Simon's arms and watched TV with him for a while before finally asking, "Don't you need to go to work today?"

Simon put his arms around the woman's waist, caressed her lower abdomen with one hand, and said, "You are my job."

Grace obviously likes listening to this kind of love, and the corners of her mouth are bent, but she has not lost her ability to think: "I feel that you are very tired recently, you can take a day off, um, but, I, I can't do anything with you. ."
