第240章
“I want you to take care of Jamie.”（我希望你照顾 Jamie。）
中年男人终于说了出来。他看着儿子一脸震惊和困惑的表情。然后 Jane Patrick 慢慢说道。
“I think I don't understand.”（我想我没明白。）
Chuck Terry 又喝了一口白兰地，然后解释道。
“I want Jamie to stay here with you, in Thailand.”（我希望 Jamie 留在这里，在泰国，和你一起。）
“What!?”（什么！？）
“Yes, I mean it. JP, look at me, I'm 62. I should retire and relax at the beach with some nice sexy girl.”（是的，我是认真的。JP，你看看我，我六十二岁了。我应该退休，去海滩和漂亮性感的女孩放松放松。）
“……” Jane Patrick 说不出话。
“I love Jamie, and you know that. But I'm too old to raise or teach him anything. I'm like a computer that didn't get upgrade. JP, you are younger. You've been through the world a lot. And you are so smart.”（我爱 Jamie，这你知道。但我太老了，没法抚养他或教他任何东西。我就像一台没有升级的电脑。JP，你还年轻。你见识广博。而且你非常聪明。）
“……”
“I know you can do it.”（我知道你能做到。）
“……”
“Don't worry I will give as much money as you need to raise Jamie. Tuition fees, everything.”（别担心，我会给你抚养 Jamie 所需的任何金额的钱。学费，所有的一切。）
“Money is not a problem.”（钱不是问题。）Jane Patrick 脱口而出。
“So you don't have any problem raising Jamie.”（所以你对抚养 Jamie 没有任何问题。）
“……didn't say that.”（我……没这么说。）年轻人被父亲这样总结，结结巴巴地说道。
“The point is that I don't want Jamie to stay in the environment I can't confide. You know that bullshit rich kids society you grew up. It makes boys go wrong and can be good-for-nothing. I'm really too old for Jamie, I'm like his grandpa more than father.”（关键是我不想让 Jamie 待在一个我无法放心的环境里。你知道你成长的那个狗屁富家子弟圈子。它会让男孩走上歧途，变得一无是处。对 Jamie 来说我真的太老了，我更像他的爷爷，而不是父亲。）
……这倒是真的。
