Chapter 512 Serve Our Country, Then Marry Rainie!
Jim Holston was wearing a branded suit. He had mature facial features and a bright smile, looking just like an aristocrat.
He was holding Scarlett Quincy's hand, clutching it domineeringly as if he did not want her away from him.
Scarlett was as beautiful as ever, but her eyes were filled with sadness.
The strangest thing was that when she looked at Jim, her eyes revealed a kind of fear, despair, and disgust.
However, when her gaze was on Simon Holston, it became gentle and loving.
Simon's tiny body was dressed in a cool camouflage uniform. He had on a military green beret and a pair of military boots. His outfit made him look even more handsome.
Simon sat on the sofa and put his hands in his pockets coolly. He chewed gum and occasionally blew a few bubbles. Bianca exclaimed, "How is he so cute?!”
Although Lanie was also very charming, the child was too mature.
Especially after she got into a car accident, he had turned into a different person. He was acting so sensible that it stressed her out. At the same time, she lamented that her son did not have the liveliness and vigor of children of his age.
After she met Simon, Bianca felt that this was how a normal child should be like!
"Bianca, I have something to discuss with Luke. I’ll catch up with you later," Jim said to Bianca and then handed Scarlett's hand to Simon. "Look after Aunt Scarlett for me and don't bully her, okay?" "Dad, Aunt Scarlett is so gentle and beautiful. How could I ever bully her?" Simon could not help but roll his eyes at his father.
Jim smiled and moved in to kiss Scarlett, but unexpectedly, she timidly turned her head to the side.
Her actions turned his handsome face ugly, and he held her cheeks domineeringly. He said with an evil tone, "Hey, we have a child together now, so what are you thinking? It's best if you forget about everything in the past. You’ll pay for what you did once we get home!" 2
Scarlett's eyes filled with tears. Her heart felt like it was stung by a bee, causing her unspeakable pain.
Only after Jim kissed her did he let her go. He then went to Luke's study with a satisfied look on his face.
After he left, Scarlett saw that Bianca was staring at her curiously. She wiped her tears and said embarrassingly, "Sorry that you had to see that, Ms. Rayne.” "Scarlett, you and Jim...? Are you... pregnant? He’s the father?" Although Bianca was not close to Scarlett and the only contact she had with her was the time when her Persian cat scratched her, she still had a good impression of Bianca.
She was not a fan of gossiping, but Scarlett's appearance made her curious.
"Yes, I’m a little more than two months along." Scarlett clutched her stomach. There was nothing but a look of death in her big eyes. She did not look like someone who was excited to become a mother.
More than two months?
Bianca suddenly remembered that two months ago when she went on a holiday with Luke, she had heard a distressed female voice in the next room.
On the day they were to return, the girl she saw in the next room looked like an upset Scarlett.
There had also been a man in the room whom she did not get a good look at. Was that man Jim?
At that time, had she been forced to sleep with Jim?
If that was the case, Jim was a horrible man...
Bianca was thinking about how to comfort Scarlett when Simon suddenly lay down on her recliner. He had an adorable face and asked curiously,"
Aunt Bianca, do you think I look handsome in this outfit today?" "Yes, you look great! The shirt makes you look extra handsome," Bianca rubbed his head and said with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt!" Simon, who was praised, was delighted. His big round eyes looked around the room, but he did not see the person he wanted to meet.
A little disappointed, he asked, "Aunt, why aren't Rainie and Blanche here today?"
Bianca pinched his tender cheeks and thought that they were so smooth." Rainie and Lanie are with Great-grandpa in Crawford Manor today, so they didn't come over. Why? Did you want to play with them?"
Simon scratched his head and acted a little embarrassed. "Aunt, I like Rainie. When Rainie grows up, can you let her be my wife?"
He had always liked Rainie. He thought that out of all the girls in school, no one looked better than Rainie.
He also liked that she had a very good temper and acted like a lady. Rainie was different from those naughty and overactive girls. She was very kind and helpful.
However, Rainie did not seem to like him, so to get her attention, he would often pull her pigtails and bully her in various ways.
"Simon, do you know what a wife is?" When Bianca heard Simon say this, she was stunned for a moment and then smiled slightly. 'Kids these days.'
Simon puffed his cheeks and said in a serious tone, "I know, Aunt. Dad said that if you like someone, you’ll miss her if you don’t see her for a while, and you would want to give the best things to her. Dad told me that if I like someone, I have to make her my wife. If I don’t see Rainie every day after school, I’ll miss her very much. I want to be with her all the time. Besides, I want to give Rainie all the gifts that my father and Aunt Scarlett gave me. I think I really do like her. Rainie said that she likes soldiers and masculine boys. Aunt, I promise you, I’ll serve our country and then I’ll come back to marry Rainie!"
Bianca was utterly speechless.
Even Scarlett was a little dumbfounded. Simon was Jim's only child.
Although Simon was naughty and often punished by Jim, she knew that Jim had endless love for Simon.
Besides, the Holston family only had this son who would eventually inherit the family business. Jim would never let his only son serve as a soldier.
Bianca did not expect that Simon would know so much at such a young age. He even spoke coherently. She was amused that someone wanted to place dibs on her daughter when she was still so young.
Rainie already had options for her marriage in the future.
Seeing that Simon was acting so serious, she could not help but kiss his cheek and said, "If Rainie likes you, I'll allow you to marry her."
Bianca thought that Simon was smart and mature. He would likely be a handsome man when he grew up.
What was more, their families were close. It was not a bad idea to entrust her daughter to a childhood sweetheart like Simon.
Simon gave Bianca a lovely smile and said, "Thank you, Aunt, you're so kind. Dad said that Aunt Scarlett also has a baby in her belly, and I'll be getting a sister soon. When my sister is born, she can be Blanche's future wife."
