Chapter 377 Envy(1/2)
At seven o'clock, Sofia Fessi got up on time when he heard the sound of the alarm clock.
I went to see my son next door first. I flew to New York from Europe yesterday. Maybe because of a long-distance trip, the little guy said he was uncomfortable at night. He called a private doctor to come to his house for examination overnight. There was no problem, so he felt relieved.
He gently touched his son's forehead, stood by the bed and looked at him contentedly for a while, then turned to the next door to look at his daughter.
Two children are everything to her.
However, she does not spoil her children uncontrollably.
When in Europe, children were not allowed to sleep in since they were six years old and had to get up on time at seven o'clock every day. When they first arrived in North America, they needed to spend a period of time, and planned to let the two little guys sleep until eight o'clock.
Parents have already gotten up, and the elderly always have little sleep.
I prepared breakfast with my mother and discussed buying a boat for my father.
Of course, I don’t need to use it for fishing anymore, but I have been a fisherman for a lifetime. My father would be at a loss when he left the boat for too long. When he was in Geneva, he had to ride a small boat on Lake Geneva for one day. Before coming to the United States, he specifically asked if there were any lakes around Greenwich. He heard that it was on the beach and was very happy.
What happened back then has always been a barrier between her and her parents, but after so many years, she has no resentment, or she has not had much resentment, so it can only be said that the two generations have different ideas. Her parents love her and have even been sorry for her. She knows that she also cares about her parents.
It's just that it's hard to show intimacy again.
After breakfast, I personally conducted two interviews in the morning, and the family also needed to hire a full-time maid and a tutor.
She was very cautious about hiring people, especially taking care of her family.
When he was attracted by that little man, he heard that he had been investigated hard, but he was actually dissatisfied. Later, he helped him manage the property, and all the hired maids and servants still had to hire a detective company for background investigation.
After getting familiar with it, he occasionally asked Janet if it was necessary. Janet told her that it was something Simon said.
A couple hired a maid. Both of them treated each other very well and even borrowed a lot of money to her, hoping that the other party could put their heart in favor and take good care of their family and children. As a result, the maid actually had bad records such as gambling and stealing, and was also imprisoned. Later, she stole the owner's things and paid off gambling debts. She wanted to cover it up and set a fire, but the mistress and two young children were burned to death.
When she heard this story, she immediately checked the maid who cared for her parents and children. She was not very relieved and checked it again for the second time.
Fortunately, there is no problem.
The same is true this time.
Before coming to the United States, she asked Angela Arenz, the head of Gucci's United States, to help find candidates. After careful selection, she got two, both white women. They themselves and their families had no history of bad records, and their employers had a good reputation in the past.
Because she needed to get close to two children, she insisted on arranging the tutor to undergo a psychological test.
Of course, the salary of both of them is not low either.
However, she is not troubled by money now. The little man often looks like a bad boss in his words, but he has never treated her unfairly in terms of salary.
Yesterday, Simon and his wife were invited to their house for lunch. As noon approached, they began to prepare for this again.
Because of Sunday, Simon and Janet were not working, and arrived at the Sophia Fessi's residence on time at twelve o'clock. It was a formal visit and specially brought gifts to the two children, a boy, a set of Lego bricks, and a beautiful white fur bear puppet.
The two children were taught very well by Sofia. Without the mother's reminder, they thanked them politely after receiving the gift.
Janet obviously liked the two little guys very much. When she handed the bear toy to Gemma, she couldn't help but carry the little girl over and kissed her a few times, looking like a weird aunt.
After greeting each other, everyone came to the restaurant directly.
A long table, Simon and Janet sat on the side, and the Sophia family sat on the side.
Sofia personally divided everyone lunch, sat down in the seat opposite Simon, and added: "There is still a mushroom soup to wait for a while."
Janet noticed Daniel's depressed appearance across from him and asked, "Danny seems to be uncomfortable, is that okay?"
Sofia reached out to touch her son's forehead and said, "It should be because of the jet lag, it will be better in a few days."
"Have you ever called a doctor for a checkup?"
Sofia nodded: "I called it last night."
As she said this, Sophia saw that her son still looked in a state of inspiration, and turned her body to help the little guy put on the napkin, kissed her son's face before sitting back. However, she ignored Gemma next to Daniel. The little girl put on her napkin without her mother's help.
Janet looked at the situation just now, and was obviously a little envious, but unfortunately, her stomach still didn't move during this period.
He couldn't help but look at Simon beside him, and unexpectedly found that his eyes were a little stunned.
It seems that it is also envious.
So he reached out under the table and poked the man gently around the waist.
Simon was poked by Janet, and reacted, and replied to the woman's look at what you poked me for. She picked up the tableware as if nothing had happened. She noticed Sophia's parents next to the little girl, and took the initiative to look over and found a topic.
It is okay for Daniel and Gemma to speak English, but the old couple only know French.
Simon also took the initiative to use French.
After a few words, Sofia's father talked about buying a boat, and became more close to this young man who was said to be very prominent but would take the initiative to talk to him.
Simon is not passionate about boats, yachts and so on. He doesn't like the insecurity of wandering on the sea.
However, I still talked about this topic very skillfully, and before I knew it, I even talked about my trip to Antarctica when I was in Australia at the end of last year.
Hearing Simon describe the glaciers, penguins and polar day in Antarctica, Gemma opposite the dining table looked very yearning. When Simon finished speaking, he looked at his mother with anticipation: "Mom, can I go to Antarctica to have a look?"
"This is not possible, you are still too young now."
"So, will it be possible next year?"
"Next year, at least, well, you'll have to wait until you're 18."
The little girl frowned and thought for a moment: "Can I celebrate my 18th birthday directly next year?"
Sofia smiled and shook her head: "No, I can only celebrate my birthday one by one."
Janet looked at the girl's disappointed expression and said, "As long as little Gemma listens to her mother's words, I can bring some videos from Antarctica, so that you can see penguins and glaciers on TV, and maybe there will be aurora. In this way, it's better to treat Gemma's birthday gift next year."
The little girl looked at her mother, and saw that she had no objection, nodded, but immediately asked, "What is Aurora?"
"Aurora, well, is a very beautiful light that floats on the sky at night."
"Can we see the aurora at night?"
"Probably, it should be only available in the Antarctic and the North Pole."
Janet said, looking at Simon with some uncertainty.
Simon nodded and said, "It is true that only Antarctic and North Pole have it."
The little girl looked over with curious eyes and persevered: "Why are there only Aurora in the South Pole and the North Pole?"
Simon didn't know how to explain to the little girl the discharge phenomenon of solar particles being stimulated by the strong magnetic field of the Earth's polar regions. He raised his chin to the opposite side and whispered: "This, can you ask your mother?"
The little girl continued to shift her target: "Mom and Mom?"
"Baby, mom doesn't know either. Can you tell you when mom figures it out?"
The little girl nodded seriously, turned back to Janet, reminding: "Auntie Jenny, Gemma's birthday this year is May 19, and so will next year."
Janet couldn't help but bent her lips and said, "I remember."
Hearing that the aunt opposite and his sister had agreed on a birthday present next year, Daniel looked up at Janet, and then looked at his mother again.
Sophia gently grabbed the napkin on her son's chest and wiped the corners of her mouth, but she just smiled without any intention of helping her.
Janet asked without waiting for the shy little boy to speak, smiling and said, "What gift does Danny want?"
The little boy then looked at Sophia again, and received his mother's encouragement, and then said, "Train, a train with rails."
Janet understood and said, "Okay, I'll send Danny train toys next year, and the tracks can fill the room. So, what day is Danny's birthday?"
“July 23.”
Daniel said, with a thrilling look in his eyes, but he looked at his mother again, with a bit of guilt in his expression. Perhaps this request had been rejected by his mother.
Sofia smiled and patted her son on his head, without objection.
A scent of cream floated in the air, and Sophia remembered again and said, "By the way, there is also mushroom soup, you can continue first."
After saying that, he got up and walked towards the kitchen.
After a while, Sophia brought the mushroom soup in, placed it on the dining table, and personally served the soup for everyone in a small bowl.
However, the woman served the first bowl of soup and handed it to Simon. Perhaps because it was too hot, she saw that Simon reached out to pick it up again, so she put her hands in advance. So a bowl of hot soup was accidentally poured in front of Simon, and most of the soup was splashed on Simon's suit and trousers.
It was nothing if she wore two layers of clothing on her upper body. Although it was autumn, Simon was still wearing only a pair of trousers. The hot soup oozed in through the fabric on her thighs, which made Simon take a breath of cold air.
A turmoil.
After the two women surrounded Simon and wiped them carefully, Sophia was very apologized to see that the man was still in a mess. She remembered the heat of the mushroom soup and said, "How about rinse it with cold water first?"
Before Simon could speak, Janet nodded and said, "That's it, I'll call someone to send a set of clothes over."
Seeing that the two women agreed, Simon stopped talking and followed Sophia to the upstairs.
Because of a little confusion, Sophia hurriedly pushed open a door and remembered that it was her bedroom. But it was hard to change it. She led Simon into the door and took him to the bathroom door, saying, "Just change it inside."
The surrounding arrangement and the unique feminine atmosphere in the air made Simon confirm that this was Sophia's bedroom.
An inexplicably strong impulse arises.
The moment he entered the door, Simon grabbed the woman's wrist and pulled her in.
Sophia was taken into the bathroom by Simon in a daze. Seeing the man lock the door, he turned around and looked at the gaze with a kind of burning fire. He felt his heart tightening in his heart. He subconsciously raised his hand and said, "Simon, no, here, now, no."
He said and retreated until his body was against the wall.
Simon looked at the woman's panic and thoughts returned to the clarity. He shook his head vigorously, took a deep breath, turned around and opened the door again, and said softly: "Go out."
