However, compared to when he arrived, there were far fewer people around him. Only Vito, a few newly recruited subordinates in Vienna and Jia Ying were left.
Another bodyguard leader, Brooke, led some of his people to stay in the castle as overseers, and several puppies also temporarily stayed in the castle.
The group first arrived in Paris, handed Jia Ying over to Linden, who was staying in Paris, and replenished him with goods before returning to the United States via England.
After three days of hard work on the road, we finally arrived in New York on the early morning of the fourth day.
Then there was another non-stop flight, and we rushed back to Chicago in the afternoon.
When Josie rushed home, Margot was walking in the yard with Francesca's support, with a big belly, and was enjoying the sun.
Margot was extremely surprised to see Josie suddenly return home.
If it weren't for the physical inconvenience, I might have just started running away.
"Be careful, be careful, slow down." Qiao Xi hurriedly stepped forward to help him.
"Haha, it's okay, I'm not that fragile yet!" Margot pulled Josie's arm and smiled happily.
A breakup is better than a wedding, not to mention that Josie will be gone for half a year.
Margot has long been worried about it.
If it weren't for the special circumstances, I'm afraid it would have been a fire.
"Well, it does look good. I haven't lost any weight. I've been having a hard time with you these days!" Qiao Xi kissed the other person's forehead gently and said with pity.
It is actually quite irresponsible to leave a pregnant woman alone at home for such a long time. If it were not for a special period like the end of World War II, it would be a rare occurrence throughout human history. It would be a pity to miss it, and Qiao Xi would not do this.
.
"Hey, no, I eat well and sleep well, so there's nothing to worry about!" Margot was made a little shy by Josie's gentle attitude.
"Let me walk with you, just in time to tell you about my experience in Europe these days." Josie supported Margot and said, then turned to look at Francesca, "Just leave this to me, you go
Find Vito, he's in the front yard!"
When she heard Josie mention her brother, Francesca's eyes brightened slightly, she thanked Josie and left the yard.
However, not long after leaving, two more maids came to the yard, but they did not disturb them, but just waited quietly by the yard. It was obviously Francesca's request.
Seeing this, Qiao Xi nodded secretly, Francesca was also a prudent person.
At the moment, I felt relieved as I walked and chatted with Margot, telling me about my experiences in Europe.
Of course, what was said must have been deleted. Hydra and other things were hidden, let alone the battlefields and the tragic situation in various countries after the war. After all, pregnant women are more sensitive, and Qiao Xi didn’t want to offend her.
Margot is sentimental.
So the main content is focused on how smooth the military operations are, how much wealth one has earned, and so on.
Anyway, I just pick out nice things to say.
"Listening to what you said, maybe I really should have supported you to join the army, and maybe you could become a general!" After hearing that Qiao Xi promoted the plan to return to the Eagle's Nest, ended the war ahead of schedule, and even let his
When the "mother country" Austria was liberated early, Margot couldn't help but joke.
"Haha, you are overthinking this. If I really join the army, it will be difficult for me to become a low-level officer. Not to mention whether the military bosses will listen to what I say. I won't even be able to contact him at all." Qiao Xi
I couldn't help but laugh.
This is also a very real problem in capitalist countries. The words of an ordinary officer are far less weighted than the words of a big capitalist, let alone a soldier.
"Yes." Margot reacted to Josie's words. She smiled slightly and immediately changed the subject, "Is Neuschwanstein Castle really as beautiful as the rumors say?"
Before Josie left for Europe, she actually did not take his talk of buying Neuschwanstein Castle too seriously. After all, such a world-class historical and cultural heritage cannot be bought with just money.
owned.
I just didn't expect it, but Josie really did it.
"Yes, it is very beautiful, and there are different magnificent scenery all year round, but it has not been completed yet. According to the construction period given by the engineer, it is estimated that it will take more than a year to be officially completed, but that's fine, at that time
Our child happens to be one year old, and then our family can go there for vacation together." Josie described the beauty of Neuschwanstein Castle.
After all, times have changed. In the era of Ludwig II, technology was still relatively backward, so it took more than ten years to complete the construction.
But not to mention that the main body of the castle has been completed, coupled with more advanced construction technology, engineering equipment, and a large amount of free labor, the construction period naturally cannot be that long.
And there is no need to worry about those prisoners of war being lazy.
In this era, prisoners of war actually had no human rights at all, and few people cared about their fate.
The so-called Geneva Convention was already a piece of waste paper from the very beginning when the concentration camps of the Axis powers were established.
Therefore, Josie didn't have to worry too much at all.
Of course, Qiao Xi would not blindly oppress these prisoners of war.
On one side is the threat of force, on the other side is ample food, a good living environment, and the temptation that the castle will be built early and they can go home early.
Or carrots and sticks, as long as those prisoners of war are not fools, they will work hard.
"I'm really looking forward to it!" Margot's eyes began to sparkle when she heard Josie's description of the beautiful scenery of Neuschwanstein Castle.
After all, few normal women can resist the temptation of a dreamy castle like Neuschwanstein Castle.
Qiao Xi looked at the face of the woman next to her that was slightly glowing in the setting sun, with a gentle smile on her face.
When I came to this world, perhaps the luckiest thing that happened was meeting this woman.
…
In the following time, except for occasionally contacting Dix and Europe through phone calls and telegrams, I didn't go anywhere. I stayed with Margot every step of the way.
Two weeks later, outside the delivery room of Northwestern University School of Medicine's Prentice Hospital of Obstetrics and Gynecology in downtown Chicago, Josie paced anxiously back and forth.
Vito and other bodyguards stood on wooden stakes in the distance, not daring to disturb Josie at this time.
It wasn't until the nurse opened the door and informed the mother and son that they were safe, that Josie breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
However, before Josie could catch her breath, another nurse ran out and pulled the previous nurse back.
It turns out that Margot has another baby in her belly.
Margot's first child was actually a pair of twins, a boy and a girl.
Qiao Xi also got it right in one step and had a son and a daughter.
Fortunately, Margot was in good health and no accidents occurred in the end, and both babies were born into this world smoothly.
"Josie, Mike and Carol are really ugly..." After the mother and son were transferred to the recovery room, Josie had just come to Margot's side. As a result, the woman looked at the infant beside her.
The two babies said such a thing, which almost made Qiao Xi stunned.
The names of the two children were discussed between Josie and Margot before they were born.
It's my son, and his name is Mike Kelly Kahn.
My daughter’s name is Carlo Kelly Kahn.
Her middle name, Kelly, is Margot's real surname.
Now since they are a pair of twins, both of them happen to be used.
"Newborn babies are like this, and they will get better after a while. Don't worry, they will be as handsome and beautiful as their parents!" Qiao Xi reassured with a slight ninja smile.
