"I am very happy to see that you can have such a positive attitude, Colonel Coy."
Barron once again met with Melvin Coy, the founder of Imperial Shield, the predecessor of Protector Military Services.
After a previous conflict with a local armed group in Africa, which resulted in the loss of both his legs, Melvin Coy sold the entire Imperial Shield military company to Barron and returned to Scotland to recuperate.
By now, Colonel Coy had mostly recovered, except that he still needed a wheelchair to get around, and he met Barron again in London.
"Although I can no longer be the same as before, I still hope to be able to do something, Your Highness."
At first, when Barron learned that McVeen was not adaptable to the pastoral life and wanted to do something else, he invited him to go to Northern Ireland and serve as an instructor at the training base of the Protectorate Military Company there.
But it was obvious that McEwen was not interested in this at the moment. He told Barron that he wanted to run in the Scottish MP election.
As a former brave soldier who later helped veterans find alternative careers, and given his current image of being disabled but mentally strong, Barron supported him.
The British Parliament is a national parliament, but in addition to this, places including Scotland and Wales have their own local parliaments. So in the end, only Scottish politicians are hurt, because other regions can run for the British Parliament or for local parliaments, but politicians in England can only run for the British Parliament.
Barron knew that the Scottish Parliament's influence in Britain was still considerable. After all, the subsequent Scottish referendum was also a compromise made by the government in order to win over the Scottish Parliament.
Therefore, if Mai Wen wants to turn to politics, Barron will definitely support him.
In addition to his media being able to build momentum for McVyn, it should be noted that Callan Castle is also located in Scotland, and the Devonshire family still has a certain influence locally. Help in this regard is also very important to McVyn Coy.
…
"Your Excellency, Viscountess Bute is waiting for you upstairs."
When Barron returned to his residence in London, he heard butler Ramos say this to him.
A hint of confusion appeared on his face. He didn't know why Chris came over without calling him in advance to inform him.
And now Bonnie has gone to Mallorca, Spain, on the Mediterranean Sea, to film the first season of "Love Island", so the Viscountess must have come here to see him.
When Barron went up to the second floor, he saw the Viscountess sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a lounge, seemingly in a daze.
"Ma'am, why are you here?"
After hearing Barron's words, the Viscountess came back to her senses, looked at him, and said with a hint of anger:
"What? Can't I come?"
"Uh... that's not what I meant. I just wonder why you didn't call me in advance. Then I wouldn't have to wait so long..."
"I came here to ask you..."
The Viscountess stared at Barron and said,
"What are you going to do with your child?"
Hearing her suddenly say such a sentence, Barron's heart jumped, and he subconsciously said:
"Are you kidding me?"
"What? You did something yourself, and now you don't want to admit it?"
"This...is something that doesn't exist. How is this possible?"
Just when Barron was thinking about how Chris would know that Rebecca was pregnant with his child, he saw the Viscountess's face showing a mocking expression and said to him:
"Haha, man..."
When she took out a test report and threw it to Barron, Barron's face changed, and he picked up the test report and said:
"How come this is here..."
At this point, Barron suddenly saw Chris's name on the test report... and finally realized that he had made a mistake.
"You...are you pregnant?"
The Viscountess looked at him with a half-smile and asked meaningfully,
"Is it you? Or is there someone else? Who do you think this child belongs to?"
Knowing her situation, Barron naturally couldn't say anything joking even if she wanted to "continue the family line" for Ian Boot.
Besides, there is no need to fake this kind of thing. After all, there will be a paternity test procedure sooner or later...
"Does he know about this?"
"Do you think I should talk to him first?"
The Viscountess naturally understood that the "he" Barron was referring to was Ian Butt, her husband.
She said contemptuously:
"What you need to consider is not his situation, but Bonnie. What do you think if she knew about our situation..."
What Chris said made sense. Apart from anything else, at least she had already explained to the other party the matter of "continuing the family line" for Viscount Butt's family - if everything went well with the Ukrainian girl, then by then there would be a pure-blooded heir to the Butt family.
According to her, as long as this could be accomplished, Viscount Butt, because of his "special" attributes, would not care whose child Chris would have in the future - even if it was Barron's, there would be no problem at all.
The Ukrainian girl had already undergone an ultrasound examination, and one of the children she was pregnant with was a male fetus.
In fact, this is also the point that this kind of thing is criticized. It often causes great harm to the girls who act as "containers".
Because the process is complicated and troublesome, in order to ensure the final "success rate", multiple "seeds" will often be placed in the other person's body to avoid any accidents.
Therefore, in this case, the birth of multiple births is very normal.
This time, the Ukrainian girl was pregnant with twins, and one of them was confirmed to be a male fetus. This meant that the Viscountess's pregnancy was not considered a bad thing for Viscount Butt.
But as the Viscountess said, in fact, Bonnie knew very well about the situation of her marriage - and because the two sisters have always had a close relationship, these things are not a secret to Bonnie.
Therefore, Bonnie Stuart, Barron's girlfriend, knew that her cousin would only use other ways to "give birth" to offspring for the Bute family.
Now that she herself was pregnant, it would certainly arouse Bonnie's curiosity...
If she knew that the child was her boyfriend's...
The consequences must be very exciting.
"Are you really going to have this baby?"
Thinking of the consequences of exposing this matter to Bonnie, Barron felt a headache and asked the Viscountess.
After he asked this question, the Viscountess did not say anything, but from her firm gaze, Barron already understood what she meant.
"In a few months, the legal heir of the Bute family will be born, and by that time, I will be able to decide everything on my own."
Barron took a deep breath and said to the Viscountess:
"Okay, I understand. If that's the case, then I will also take up my responsibilities. I will find time to talk to Bonnie."
"Are you going to tell her the truth?"
"You can't keep this from her forever, can you? If that's the case, then it's better to confess than to drag it out."
"In that case..."
The Viscountess finally smiled for the first time today:
"You don't have much time left. After all, my belly will be easily visible soon..."
