Chapter 185 Highest Honor
Parks' first stop is in New York. There he will meet Virginia's family - a arms dealer, Bias? Ben? Gray also has his wife, Mrs. Gray, who is an elegant middle-aged mature woman. Her fair and smooth skin can't see her age of 45 at all, just like a luxurious tulip.
They met in a villa outside New York, which was an afternoon holiday that Parks could enjoy with the permission of the military receptionist. In addition, he would be under the control of the military until the end of the award.
When Virginia appeared at Gray's villa with Pax in her arms, their servants were a little surprised, because in their eyes, Miss Gray never brought a man into the villa, and it seemed that she had never seen her dating any man. Today, it is obvious that it broke their fixation. Fixed thinking.
"Hello, Miss Gray!" The servants stopped what they were doing when Gray passed them, and then bowed slightly to Virginia, and then their eyes were full of surprise.
"They still want to be surprised. Virgelia!" Parks smiled and whispered, "Is it because of me? They don't know me, do they?
Virginia smiled and said, "That's why they were surprised. You are the first man I brought to the villa!"
"Is it also the last one?" Parks joked and wanted to relax himself. After all, it was a big deal to see Virginia's father. For him, it felt like a son-in-law saw his father-in-law.
Gray's villa is not so much a villa as a manor. It has a wide area. Beyond the main building, there is a garden and a small golf course. As for the swimming pool, there are three swimming pools. The open-air square and several scattered villas form the courtyard of a villa, with carriages and cars. The road is intertwined between the villas and the gardens and the court.
A middle-aged man greeted them. Virgelia immediately let go of her hand holding Parks's arm and walked towards the middle-aged man with a smile on her face. She gave a face-to-face gift and said with a delicate smile, "Uncle Pensia, I didn't expect you to come over. This is really a surprise. You have been here in the last two months.
The middle-aged man smiled at Virginia and said, "Even if I don't see you for two months, my little princess Virginia will become more beautiful." With that, he patted her hand gently and smiled at Parks and said, "This must be the Lieutenant Parks you often mention."
Parks nodded, then stepped forward and smiled, "Nice to meet you, sir!"
"Penssia? Malt is Virginia's uncle! He is Nice to meet you, Lieutenant Parks!" Mr. Malt stretched out his hand to Parks, and the two shook hands politely.
"Please come in!" Malt was completely like a master. He bowed slightly to Parks, and then the three of them walked towards the main villa together. The spacious stone road is lined with green lawns and water-spraying sculptures. In front of the door, a servant in a white uniform has opened the door, which is like the door of a palace.
Although Parks has seen many luxurious buildings and scenes in his previous life, such luxurious villas and estates still make him exclaim in his heart, although he will not show it. He still maintains his elegant demeanor, which is determined by the professional characteristics of his previous life and by the depth of the heart of the two generations.
The magnificent hall made Parks continue to sigh in his heart, but he had to control it, just a faint shot, as if none of this could arouse his great interest.
At this time, a middle-aged man sitting on the leftmost sofa stood up and walked towards Parks. Virginia was a little nervous at this time. She loosened her arm around Parks's arm and said gently to Parks, "That's my father."
Parks nodded gently, then quickly greeted him, smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "You must be Bias? Ben? Mr. Gray himself. Nice to meet you.
Mr. Gray smiled first, and then looked at the somewhat restrained Virginia behind Parks and smiled, "It seems that my daughter has introduced me." With that, he turned to Parks and smiled, "You must be the Lieutenant Parks, the one my daughter often mentions. I've heard your name for a long time, and I finally saw it today!"
At this time, a tall and luxurious middle-aged woman came up behind Mr. Gray. Parks quickly turned to her and smiled, "You must be Mrs. Gray. Nice to meet you!" With that, he stepped forward and gently kissed her and smiled, "Madam, you are so beautiful!"
Mrs. Gray laughed softly, "Is this flattery?"
"No, no, sincere praise!" Parks hurriedly said, and then glanced at Virginia, and saw that she was blinking at her and smiling.
Of course, their behavior also fell into the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Gray and Malt, and the three of them couldn't help smiling at each other. Obviously, their first impression of Parks was good.
In addition to these five people, there are a few servants waiting in the hall. Parks and the others sat down casually. Originally, Parks wanted to find a topic they were interested in. While thinking about it, Matt opened his mouth and smiled and said, "Lieutenant Parks, I heard that you have known Virgillian for a while. But I just knew it! I want to hear, what kind of girl is Virginia in your heart? You know, we want to know this, which is very important to us!"
Parks nodded. He expressed his understanding. At this time, Virginia, who was listening quietly, suddenly straightened up. Obviously, she also wanted to hear what position she was in Parks's heart. And Mrs. Gray also showed great interest.
"Well, in fact, my encounter with Virginia was accidental, but we all had a lot of feelings, so we decided to be together. Although there is not much time to get together, I have to admit that no one can replace Virginia's position in my heart. Parks thought about it for a moment, and then slowly opened his mouth. He was talking about his real feelings.
"Although I may stay in the European battlefield for a long time to come, I will always care about her in my heart. I love her, I love Virginia, that's it! This will not change easily!" Parks said it firmly.
Vegillian's face was a little red, and she gently leaned against Mrs. Gray's arms. At this time, she looked like a child or a shy little bud, which made people couldn't help but love her.
Mr. and Mrs. Gray and Mr. Malt looked at each other and smiled, and then nodded.
Mr. Gray looked at it for a while and then asked Parks in a calm tone, "Well, it's like this. What I want to ask is that you are now in the European battlefield, which is a very dangerous place. The Allies have suffered great setbacks, and we don't know when the war will end. Of course, we all firmly believe that the Germans will fail, but it may take a long time. Do you want to stick to the European battlefield all the time? Do you have any other plans?
"Other plans?" Parks couldn't help looking at Mr. Gray in surprise.
"Well, Virginia obviously cares about you very much. We can see this. Now we also know your attitude, but you will eventually make people uneasy on the European battlefield. Bullets and guns have no eyes, so if you can come back from Europe, we will be very I'm happy. Maybe I can come to our group to help!"
Parks's face suddenly changed, and then he looked at Mr. Gray and then Virgiria in surprise. Obviously, he also thought about such a thing. One day Virgillian might bring it up, but he didn't expect Mr. Gray to be so straightforward.
Virginia suddenly became serious when she saw Parks's face, and she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. When she knew that her father had said this, it was already bad. She understood Parks' feelings for the company brothers and what Parks meant to the war. She looked at Parks with some worry.
Parks frowned gently and then said to Mr. Gray, "I know what you mean, Mr. Gray, and I also appreciate your advice. To be honest, I don't have the idea of leaving the company and leaving my brothers!"
"But...but haven't you already won the Congressional Medal of Honor?" Malt was obviously a little uncontrollable, "That's the highest honor for soldiers. Now that you return to the battlefield, can you still get a higher honor than the Congressional Medal of Honor? The war is cruel, Mr. Parks. You can think about it.
"I will, Mr. Malt." Parks nodded, and he suddenly felt a little depressed. Obviously, if he stood in the position of Mr. and Mrs. Gray, he could fully understand what they said.
Finally, Parks stayed and had dinner together in Vigelia's almost pleading eyes. Parks said goodbye politely and then left this seemingly luxurious place.
"Honey, don't do this!" On the way to send Parks out, the two were alone again. Virgillian looked at Parks worriedly, and then tiptoed and kissed him on the cheek. "You understand them. They are my parents and always like to think of me. Les, it's up to me!"
Parks smiled and said, "I understand them."
"Then won't you be angry about it?" Virginia looked up, completely the sad and pitiful appearance of a little woman, which aroused a burst of pity in Parks's heart.
"No, honey, because I love you! So I don't care about anything else!" Parks lowered his head, then kissed the two gentle lips and sucked for a long time before letting go.
"Reth--" Virginia suddenly had a certain period, and she stopped talking to Parks.
"What's wrong?"
"I think I can go to Washington with you. You know, I hope to see the medal on your chest with my own eyes!" Virginia lowered her head, whispered, and then glanced at Parks quickly and said, "I know, if--if you feel inconvenient, I can--"
"No, honey, come with me. That's our honor!" Parks gently hugged Virginia and whispered, "I'll wait for you at the station!"
