Chapter 618 (1/2)

Simon returned to domay point estate, and the johnstons had arrived early.

The Indian girl welcomed him at the door of shell villa. Seeing Simon enter, she whispered a few words and raised her hand to indicate the direction of the curtain wall. Without Arya's guidance, Simon has seen two people standing in front of the glass curtain wall with the best view of the villa.

Simon went straight over, and Anthony Johnston found him coming back and welcomed him.

Raymond Johnston didn't move. He seemed to be looking at the sea outside the curtain wall. Even though he was gray and tall, he still had the spirit and dignity accumulated in the shopping mall all his life. He didn't have the sense of twilight that a 75 year old should have. On the contrary, he was more like an old cowboy who could still mount a horse and raise a gun at any time.

Taking back the look at the old man's back, Simon and Anthony embrace each other. Then they notice that their brother-in-law's still gentle smile is mixed with many other emotions, such as examination, surprise, embarrassment and gratification.

After hugging, Anthony patted Simon on the shoulder, but didn't explain his obvious doubts. Instead, he motioned to the old man who still had his back to them.

Simon stepped forward and said, ”ray.”

The old man did not turn back, but suddenly asked, ”Simon, what does the surname” westero ”mean?”

Simon thought about it and said, ”it's nothing special. If you have to give an explanation, Westeros is probably someone from the West.”

So Simon came to the old man and looked at the sea and sky outside the curtain wall.

Anthony Johnston, however, did not follow him. Instead, he sat down on the sofa next to him. Seeing the inquiring eyes of the Indian girl not far away, he probably understood aliya's intention, but just waved his hand to indicate that she didn't need to prepare for anything.

By the glass curtain wall, the old man heard Simon's explanation and was silent for a moment. Then he asked abruptly, ”would you like to change back to the surname of 'Johnston', Simon Johnston?”

Simonton was stunned.

The old man finally turned his head and looked at him, but there was no complicated emotion of Anthony just in his eyes, calm and gratified. Over the years, Raymond Johnston, the husband of his most cherished daughter, has been so brilliant and brilliant that he has quietly examined Simon too many times and knows the young man's temperament like the back of his hand.

There is no need to talk about personal career.

For the family, for Janet, even if it was somewhat absurd in private, the old man could be sure that Simon cherished his daughter from the bottom of his heart, which was enough. After reading the world, he has seen too many people who are friendly on the surface but hypocritical and selfish on the inside.

Raymond Johnston just didn't think that he had another identity as a young man who always thought he was the son-in-law of the dragon.

At the beginning of the news, Raymond Johnston was also on the alert.

But he soon denied some ideas.

Having known each other for so many years, Raymond Johnston can be 100% sure that Simon has no hostility to Johnston's family, but rather a natural sense of identity. At one time, he thought that this sense of identity was due to Simon's orphanage and finally found a family.

Now it seems that this is not ”finding”, but ”returning”.

Feeling Simon's astonishment, Raymond Johnston said, ”Winnie and I confessed to you yesterday.”

Simon finally recovered and soon recovered.

Veronica has revealed too many flaws in her daily life. No matter how she conceals them, sooner or later, there will be such a day.

Simon didn't answer the old man's question.

Seeing Simon's silence, Raymond Johnston continued: ”in fact, the family knew you existed. My father has only two children, Winnie and I, and Winnie is the daughter he got in his later years. How can he not care. At first I got the news, and I flew to England myself. ”

Simon still didn't respond, just listened quietly.

He himself is not interested in these old things, but another soul in his heart would like to know about them.

Raymond Johnston looked at Simon again and said, ”you were born at that time. I discussed with my father that I wanted to take you back. The Johnston family is Ding Buwang. It's good to have one more child than you. As for the rest, we don't have the bad rules of losing the noble's face. However, your mother probably didn't think so. At that time, she was only 16 years old and was in a hurry. Maybe she felt disgraced to her family and didn't want to let the matter come to light, so she quietly found a foster family to send you out. ”

At this point, the old man stopped, looked at Simon and asked, ”do you want to know who your father is?”

Simon shook his head almost without much hesitation.

The old man smiles, showing his teeth that are still neat and white, but with some ruffian spirit in his smile that shouldn't exist in his age, he says: ”I don't want to know. He's a jerk who doesn't have any responsibility. He only knows how to cheat women with his own bullshit background. I checked at that time. Your mother told him that he was pregnant. In order to get rid of the responsibility, the man went to another city and didn't show his face until you were born. ”There was some curiosity in Simon's mind, but it just flashed away.

The old man was acutely aware of it and said, ”I was quietly in England for a month, watching Winnie arrange you, and a damned guy died.”

Simon felt his heart beat faster for a moment. He quickly breathed out and looked up at the blue sea outside the curtain wall.

”Since Winnie has quietly fostered you to the Levinsons, and they are in a good family and have no children, my father and I have given up the idea of taking you back. After all, even if our family doesn't care, Winnie will get married. I just didn't expect that the Levinsons would disappear completely when they took you on a trip. Your mother came to you, and the family came to you quietly, but nothing happened. ” When the old man said this, he looked at Simon again with doubts in his eyes: ”at that time, you were 5 years old, you should have remembered things, right?”

Simon hesitated and nodded slightly.

The old man asked, ”so, back then?”

Simon as like as two peas, and after a moment, he slightly spit out a word that is exactly the same as the old man: ”dead.”

This time it was Raymond Johnston's turn to be stunned for a moment. Then he asked acutely, ”that couple didn't treat you well in those days?”

Simon's head dropped a little lower, but his body in a moment sent out the gloomy cold, even Raymond Johnston can clearly feel, which even reminds him of many years ago in Kenya, africa hunting when a shot dying lion desperately rushed to his own shudder.

”Jennie often says you have a lot of strength,” the old man sighed a moment later. Suddenly, he showed a little ruffian smile and patted Simon on the shoulder. ”So, even if you don't want to change your surname, you're a Johnston.”

When we think about what our daughter told him when she went back to Melbourne, Raymond Johnston thinks that more than that, this child is more lawless than Johnston's family.

Simon was patted by the old man. He finally remembered something and asked, ”ray, does Jennie know?”

The old man shook his head: ”no, you'd better tell her about it yourself.”

Simon thought about it. With Janet's character, if he knew about it, he would definitely come back with the old man. How could he stay in Australia at ease.
