Rebecca left Herwin behind completely.

Even if he knew his so-called secret, it was hard to say that in the eyes of a "witcher" like him, killing a few robbers should be a normal thing, not to mention, even if he said it, he would not be able to pose any threat to himself.

Ever since she saw Herwen, her heart has been surging with irritability from time to time, although in front of her daughter, she will think of Ogden when she sees Hervin as a reason, but she will choose this "excuse", also because this is indeed a gap in her heart.

She was still in pain.

And Hervin's statement of what he had done made Rebecca feel a moment of fear, and then this fear immediately turned into anger.

It was clear that the town hunter had noticed something wrong with her attitude and had brought it up to warn her.

And the axe he gave himself in the first place must have bad intentions, there must be some kind of surveillance function on it, otherwise how could he know what he had done.

Thinking of this, Rebecca felt a wave of shame after being fooled.

What a terrible fellow, maybe he actually knew his family background in the first place, so he gave him an axe, otherwise how could he have given away such a precious magic weapon, and he also left some kind of evil magic on it, so that he could use this axe to discover the fact that he had killed someone.

If she had been a cowardly woman, she might have bowed to him by now, and then he had taken the handle and made many rude demands.

He may also use this reason to keep himself from interfering, or even support him in dating Nelly, and then he will use his rich experience and age to deceive his daughter's feelings, and then obtain his family's precious resources.

In fact, Rebecca vaguely realized that her thoughts at the moment were just angry and unjustified vicious speculation.

But she allowed these thoughts to grow freely in her mind, paralyzing her mind.

Because she needs it.

This is the only way to make her forget her fear and pain, and the guilt that keeps asking her own chest.

Especially the feeling of guilt.

Rebecca stopped in front of Nelly's door.

She took a deep breath.

People sometimes make decisions that are not in line with their morals.

Because not all forks in the road have at least one right path.

If Rebecca had to choose, she would choose the one she cared more about.

The mother gently knocked on her daughter's door.

nelly says:

"The door is unlocked. ”

That's right. ’

It occurred to Rebecca that she had to get the axe back from Nelly, and then find a place to bury it, or Herwin would spy on them.

Rebecca pushed the door open and walked into Nelly's room.

Nelly was sitting on the edge of the rosewood bed, the velvet quilt curled up behind her.

The daughter looked at her mother with a calm face, looking like she was waiting for something.

Rebecca says:

"Hewen has been here. ”

Nelly nodded.

Rebecca was a little puzzled, and Nelie didn't show intense surprise.

The mother continued:

"I talked to him. ”

Nelly naturally asked:

"What did he say?"

Rebecca laughed:

"We talked about the old life together, and he had been paid and promised never to be by our side again. ”

Rebecca looked at Nelly, ready to face Nelly's emotional outburst.

Nelly paused for only a moment, then gave a simple answer:

"yes, I see. ”

Rebecca was a little overwhelmed by Nelly's reaction for a moment, but she immediately smiled:

"Nelly, I'm glad you understand that he's not for you. ”

Nelly shook her head calmly:

"Mother, I have said many times that all I have for Mr. Herwin is respect and gratitude, and even if I once had any ignorant feelings, they must have dissipated after all these years, and your worries about us are completely unnecessary. ”

Rebecca doesn't believe that Nelly's statement is sincere, but she agrees:

"Yes, that's just a child's delusion. ”

Nelly asked:

"Anything else?"

Rebecca says:

"Yes, we're going to Enid's birthday party in two days. ”

Nelly was amazed:

"Enid Pendragon, the deputy head of the Order?"

Rebecca corrected:

"Honorary Deputy Commander, she cannot command the members of the Order, but she will be treated with the respect she has, and more importantly, her mother is Her Excellency the Chancellor.

"And behind His Excellency the Lord Chancellor, there is also the figure of Prince George, and it is said that the two families have an unknown blood relationship.

It was precisely because of the support of Georges Pendragon that she was able to reach the position of justice, but this was not surprising, after all, if there was no one behind her, she would not have been able to sit in this position on her own family alone. ”

nelly says:

"So I want?"

Rebecca says:

"I specifically instructed Jimmy not to talk to Enid, but you are different, you are much more mature than Jimmy, I hope you can seize this opportunity to get close to Enid, talk to her more, as long as you leave an impression on her, it can bring a lot of benefits to our family.

"And you are a woman, compared to men, the behavior of approaching Enid is more legitimate, the family has prepared several topics for you, all of which are content that Enid may like, you should hurry up and memorize it in the past two days, and you won't be unable to answer the conversation when the time comes. ”

Nelly hesitated and said:

"Actually, I had a few words with Miss Enid. ”

Rebecca asked in surprise:

"What did you say, and how was her attitude?"

nelly says:

"She was very gentle when she came into contact with me, but we only had a brief conversation. ”

Rebecca was delighted:

"Great, you tell the housekeeper the content of the chat, I asked him to prepare a few more topics, I really hope you can seize this opportunity, if you and her become friends in the eyes of everyone, then your life will be much more stable in the future."

"And if you can become a close friend with her, then you will not be like me, you will no longer be able to control your own destiny, and you will be able to have some say in your own life.

"I haven't asked you for anything since I came to Wharton......"

Nelly reminded:

"Hervin. ”

Rebecca paused awkwardly:

"Well, I never asked of you other than Herwen, but I really hope you can take this opportunity.

"I'm doing it for your good. ”

Nelly nodded:

"Of course, I will definitely try to make up for this regret. ”

Regrets that have happened to my mother.

Rebecca opened her mouth:

"And ......"

She seemed to want to say something, but she forgot about it with one mouth.

But if it's so easy to forget, it's not a big deal.

The thought quickly convinced her.

Rebecca coughed lightly:

"Trust me, one day you'll thank me. ”

Nelly nodded:

"Well, I understand. ”

Nelly was clear.

Maybe one day I will really thank my mother for her actions.

But it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that she knows that there are things that must not be missed, or regret will haunt her for the rest of her life.
