Andre was very fond of the red-haired and blue-eyed girl in front of her.
After all, this veteran is nearly sixty years old and has no descendants. He yearns for having children of his own.
Then Andre walked forward slowly, half-crouched in front of Shia and looked at her level.
He smiled and said, "Don't worry, the uncle next to you was brought up by me. I am very confident in taking care of children."
"Well..." Siya nodded shyly.
"Haha." Seeing that the old man and the young man were getting along well, William beside him chuckled and said, "Andre, it seems that Xia actually likes you."
Hearing this, Andre stood up and looked at William and said, "Leave this child to me.
Also, it's time for Ivan and Yelena to go to school, so let Catherine take 'Children back to Hafa to go to school."
"This..." William raised his hand and scratched the back of his head, and finally spread his hands and said:
"That kid Ivan is no different from an adult. Although Yelena is a little naughty, he is still incompatible with 'Children who is the same age.
Moreover, they have a mother like Catherine who knows everything, so I think... there is no need for them to go to school."
"Sigh." Andre shook his hand and said, "Going to school is not for them to acquire knowledge, but for them to better integrate into the normal world.
If they stay in space all the time and don't have peers of the same age, they will be depressed sooner or later."
"Well..." After hearing Andre's words, William also felt that it made sense.
Then he agreed, "Okay, I'll go discuss it with Catherine."
Then William smiled at Xia again and said, "Xia, just stay with Andre. I'll leave first."
"Yeah." Siya nodded obediently.
William said goodbye to Andre again, and then left the conference room, preparing to go to the hangar to board the Pelican and return to the Phantom not far from the Tsar.
And after Andre watched William walk away, he lowered his head and smiled at Shia: "Xia, who gave you your name?"
"Cult Leader named me this name. He said this name would make God of Light happy," Shia replied.
"That's it..." Andre thought for a few seconds and then tried to ask, "Xia, since you are my adopted daughter, how about you take my last name?"
"Yeah." Shia had no objection to Andre's words.
Apart from the name Xia, she has no requirements for a surname, not to mention that she doesn't want to have any contact with Star of Light Church anymore.
"Hahaha!" Seeing that Xia did not refuse, Andre smiled heartily and said:
"Okay, okay, okay! Finally someone can inherit my last name!"
"Hehe." Seeing Andre so happy, Shia also laughed.
Andre laughed for a long time before stopping, and gently caressed Shia's head with her right hand.
Said: "From now on, your name will be Shia Andrena Ostrovskaya."
?
Hearing that she had such a long surname, Xia's smile faltered, and she asked in confusion, "Wha... what kind of baby?"
Inside the hangar of the Phantom.
As soon as the Pelican carrying William left the decompression chamber, it was picked up by the robotic arm controlled by the ground crew and parked at the designated location.
And Ivan, wearing a military uniform customized by Minos Island, was standing alone on the deck, waiting for the Pelican's hatch to open.
Ivan fully agrees with her parents' decision to hand over Siya to Andre's care.
After all, with Andre's character, he will definitely pamper his children, so Shia can also experience the care and love of a family member.
It's just that Ivan always feels a little empty, as if he misses the girl who has been sticking behind him?
But Ivan immediately shook his head and said to himself, "Stop thinking nonsense."
At this time, the Pelican came to a complete stop and the hatch was opened.
I saw William, who had taken off his suit jacket and put it on his left forearm, walked out of the cabin.
After seeing Ivan not far away, William smiled at it and said, "Hey, boy, why do you have the time to wait for me here today? Are you worried about that girl Xia?"
"That's right." Ivan did not deny it, and asked, "Father, how are Grandpa Andre and Xia?"
"Don't worry." William patted Ivan's shoulder with his right hand and continued walking towards the passage to the dormitory.
Said: "You also know that your grandpa Andre likes children, not to mention that girl Xiya is cute and sensible.
She is the only child that the company has discovered who can do magic. Andre It would be great if she is not doted on."
"Father." Ivan quickly followed William and asked still worriedly:
"What about Shia? She won't be afraid without me, right?"
"It's okay, don't worry all the time, she's not your girlfriend." William joked with a smile.
"Uh..." Hearing the sensitive words, Ivan's face suddenly turned red.
When the father and son arrived in the deck corridor, William put away his smile and praised Ivan:
"Ivan, when you made the decision Armed Cultists in the church, it was a very correct choice. Otherwise, the possibility of the church kidnapping Xia was very high."
Seeing William getting ready to talk about business, Ivan also calmed down his restless mood and returned to his previous calmness.
Said: "This is what I should do. Umbrella's purpose is to protect human beings. The passengers at that time were facing death."
As my father's eldest son, and having participated in the training of Sparta, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect them."
"Not bad." William was very satisfied with his son's performance and continued:
"Since you single-handedly defeated that group of Armed Cultists, your deeds have spread throughout the army, and your prestige has increased a lot unconsciously.
When employees see you in the future, they will no longer think that you are the boss's son, but will regard you as a soldier with combat power no less than Sparta.
It will be of great help to you in taking over the army or even commanding Containment Operation in the future."
"This... Father, taking over the army is still a long way off." Ivan said.
"Time flies so fast. I still remember what you and Yelena looked like when they were just born. In the blink of an eye, you two are about to catch up with your mother in height." William said with emotion.
"Father, you and mother are still very young, there is no need to be sentimental." Ivan advised.
"Forget it, let's not talk about that." William shook his right hand slightly.
He glanced at Ivan and asked, "Ivan, Andre wants you and Yelena to go back to Hafa to go to school. What do you think?"
"Go to school?"
Ivan was stunned for a moment, then agreed, "It's okay to go to school. Yelena seems to no longer want to live on the Infinity after returning from Venice."
"Well, indeed, that girl prefers real natural scenery, and the Endless is a bit small for her.
Then I will discuss it with your mother later and let you two return to live in the sea view villa in Hafa, and you will come with me." William said.
"Yes, father." Ivan said respectfully.
