Chapter Fifty-Seven: Father and Son Walk
Pillowed his head and right arm, staring at the ceiling in a daze,
Jace could swear to heaven that since the death of his master, there have been few things that have surprised him and confused him. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
However, I received too much information at one time last night, and even Jace felt a little sore in his brain at the moment. Involving his father, Robert Quinn, he thought that the dead sister appeared in front of him in a new way, and the shadow of a few years ago also hung over his head again with the appearance of Carly, and this time, the shackles called family were added.
Only by joining the organization with the identity code name of playing cards can you prevent the Quinn family from dying one after another, which Carly made clear last night.
Perhaps, I really should have talked to my father.
Thinking to himself, the body lying next to him opened his eyes in a daze, because he didn't have glasses, the moment he opened his eyes, he subconsciously squinted, and fell into Jace's eyes, this action is particularly cute and charming.
"Wake up, it's almost three o'clock in the day before you get up." In front of Felicity, Jace never showed the slightest abnormality, so as not to worry the simple girl.
In the same way, this simple girl will not be put into danger, and all the dangers should be borne by him Jace Quinn alone. This is the responsibility he should have as a man.
"Don't try to lie to me, it's only a little past seven, don't think I haven't looked at my phone, what's more, aren't you also lying in bed and haven't gotten up yet?"
Felicity, who didn't wear glasses, rolled her eyes in a different way, and her blond hair, which was messily draped over the pillow, reflected in the sunlight.
"I'm thinking about life's problems, and you're lying in bed and sleeping, there's a fundamental difference between the two." He pinched Felicity's nose and gently dropped a kiss on her cheek, and lifted the covers to get up and change clothes.
"It's half an hour before breakfast time, and you can stay in bed for another hour and a half."
"Jace, you're up so early?" Squinting at Jace in his usual silver suit, Felicity's head floated N question marks,
"Well, there are some things in the company that can't be handled, so I have to go to my dad to discuss it, provided that he hasn't left yet."
Dressed up, Jace disappeared to the other side of the door amid Felicity's confused eyes.
"Jace? Are you up so early today? ”
In the restaurant on the first floor, it seemed that Jace had expected to get up early, and Robert Quinn, who had just finished breakfast, wiped the breadcrumbs from the corners of his mouth with a dining cloth and smiled kindly.
"Don't you taste it? Your favorite blueberry sandwich. He asked with a smile as he pushed the plate with two blueberry sandwiches to the other side of the table.
"Dad," seeing Robert's action, Jace didn't know what to say for a while, Robert's action was undoubtedly telling him that he already knew everything that happened last night, and he was sure that he would come early this morning to find the "truth".
"So, is what she said true?"
I don't know why, the originally nervous mood regained its calm after receiving Robert's reply similar to an affirmative, and there was no longer panic or nervousness in those blue eyes.
"There's still a lot of time, do you choose to listen to my story when you're full? Or do you choose to fill your stomach after listening to the story? ”
"Look at how long your story is." The tacit understanding between father and son, even to the point where it might overturn their original impressions, remains surprisingly consistent.
Two hands, one old and one young, each picked up a blueberry sandwich and stood up.
"It's been a long time since our father and son did this, and now that I think about it, I really miss it." Looking at Jace, who was already taller than himself, Robert's face showed a color of nostalgia.
The father and son took blueberry sandwiches to walk and talk in the garden, which was what Jace looked forward to the most when he was a child, because not only could he eat more of his favorite sandwiches, but also be able to listen to his father tell bizarre stories, which was undoubtedly an irresistible temptation for Jace when he was still young.
"Robert, did you finally let Jace in?"
As the figures of father and son gradually disappeared at the gate, Moira, who appeared at the dining table at some point, looked in the direction of the garden and muttered to herself.
"A few years ago, there was a consortium in the city that not only did not lose money in an economic crisis that swept the world, but seized the opportunity to return to the position of the richest man in the city of Starling."
Gently taking a bite of the blueberry sandwich in his hand, Robert's deep voice echoed in Jace's ears. Now he's talking about exactly what Jace did.
"It was at that time that the organization behind me began to have the will to absorb Jace Quinn, but I voted against it, so you can continue to live a stable life without being disturbed in the slightest."
"As time went on, gradually, I began to have nightmares, dreaming that it was raining heavily day and night in this city that we had made thousands of holes, and dreaming that the people of the Quinn family were dying in front of me one after another."
"So, I began to be afraid, and began to have the idea of quitting the persecution organization, and it was precisely because of the birth of this idea that the members of the same organization became suspicious, and gradually, the power in my hands was divided until nothingness, if it wasn't for Malcolm secretly helping our family, I'm afraid that when you come back, you won't be able to see us anymore."
Folded off a petal casually, blew lightly, and watched the scene of the petals fluttering in the wind, Robert's voice was full of loneliness.
From beginning to end, Jace didn't interject, just quietly walked side by side with Robert, taking small bites of the sandwich in his hand, listening to the story from Robert's mouth, just like when he was a child.
"As they move bigger and bigger, and the power in my hands gets smaller and smaller, they finally turn their attention back to you, you who once performed miracles in the global financial markets, and this time, I can't turn down the proposal again because I have been pushed out of management."
"So, instead of letting those with bad intentions invite me, why don't you take the initiative to introduce me yourself?" Jace, who had been listening for a long time, interjected for the first time at this time when Robert paused.
"That's right, Carly and Alice, although I brought them into the organization at the beginning, their superiors are another person, and they have also gained the trust of that person, the reason why you came to me in such a roundabout way is because the two of them are my last dark line, and they can't be exposed."
"The fact now before them is that you turned a blind eye to Alice and Carly's invitation, and in the end, it was me, as a father, who brought you into the organization."
"What happens if I don't say yes?" Thinking of what Carly said, Jace subconsciously wanted to confirm it again.
"You're going to die."
This sentence, Robert said very firmly, very powerfully, and there is no doubt about it.
