Chapter Twenty-Four: Delia and Anne
Sean, who left the Black Shark stronghold, did not stop for a moment, and was ready to go to the 'Black Rose Antique Shop' immediately, after all, judging from the concentration of magic left at the murder scene, that resentful spirit was at least above the second rank, and he was not its opponent at the moment, so he still needed a little 'little' help from the captain.
However, when he crossed the slums on the outskirts of the colony again, something happened that forced him to look sideways.
A group of ragged, thin men were gathering in front of a dilapidated house, intending to break in, but they were stopped by a woman in a red jacket with a patched blouse, a belt at the waist, a linen blouse, and a woollen skirt over it, and a good-looking woman, but the wind and frost of time had crept up on her cheeks, and she was clinging to the wooden door, which was not strong.
Soon as time passed, a relatively strong middle-aged man with bare arms at the head did not seem to have enough patience, and directly grabbed the woman's arm and shook it hard, and after the woman collapsed to the ground, he grabbed a little girl of about seven or eight years old from the room, wearing a shabby dress that had been washed white, long black hair neatly combed into two ponytails, and a pair of indigo blue eyes full of fear and uneasiness.
Seeing the moment the little girl was taken away, the woman struggled to get up from the ground and rushed to the man like crazy, but unfortunately she was a weak woman who was no match for that group of men at all, and she didn't know who kicked her out directly, and in a painful retching sound from the woman, the men laughed and left.
Maybe it was because it was too noisy, the surrounding 'neighbors' all looked out and shrunk back in the hope that had just been ignited in the woman's eyes, and the 'neighbors' just took a brief look at it, and directly closed the doors and windows, not to mention helping, and even looked at it for fear of getting into trouble, after all, the middle-aged man with bare arms was tattooed with a black shark pattern, and everyone in the slum knew what it meant.
Looking at the group of people who came over, Sean was in a somewhat complicated mood, especially looking at the little girl's blue and clean eyes, and his thoughts couldn't help but surge for a while, he recalled the little girl who also loved to wear a white dress and also had blue eyes.
"Jasmine...", Sean, who had finished whispering to himself, turned around and stood in front of everyone.
Obviously, in the face of Sean's blockade, the originally elated crowd suddenly collapsed, and the middle-aged man who was carrying the little girl at the head opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "Get out, Uncle Ben is in a good mood today, otherwise I will sell you to Violet." ”
"Boss, don't say it, this kid is quite handsome, hehe..."
Violet?
Of course, Sean knew this place, this was the biggest gold hole in the hands of the black shark, and once the little girl was sold there, it was conceivable that she would end up there, not to mention that this group of people even paid attention to themselves.
Looking at the people surrounding him with ill intentions, there was no fear in his heart, and his cold voice suddenly sounded: "People, I want it." ”
As soon as the words fell, before everyone could react, Sean kicked directly at the left knee of the middle-aged man who was grinning at him in front of him, and under a crisp fracture sound, the man's body tilted involuntarily, and took the little girl who slipped with his right hand, and at the same time raised his left hand and greeted the man's left face with a powerful slap, and several teeth with a wisp of blood floated in the air.
The middle-aged man didn't even have a chance to scream in pain, and was beaten to the ground by Sean in a simple and rude way, and the minions looked at the boss who had fallen into a coma, and stood in place at a loss for a while.
Fortunately and unfortunately, two burly men dressed in black with gloves of the same color in their right hands walked out from the back of the house not far away, and the excitement on their faces did not last for a moment before they froze, as they saw two 'black gloves' bowing respectfully to the handsome man and saying, "Sorry, Mr. Morrison, we will deal with them." ”
"Hmm. ”
Sean carried the little girl back to her residence in a state of panic, ignoring the group of minions who were crying and begging for mercy, both Sean and the minions knew the status of the 'black glove' in the black shark, and of course knew what they meant by the treatment.
The woman in front of the residence who watched everything happen, looked at Sean walking towards his figure, his heart was full of gratitude, no matter what the man's purpose was, but at least he saved his only daughter, it was worth everything for himself, even if it was himself...
When he was thinking about himself, suddenly a shadow shrouded him, and when he looked up, it turned out that the cold man had walked in front of him, and when he looked closely, he found that the man was actually very young, about twenty years old, and his appearance was handsome, especially the pair of brown eyes, although cold but containing a strange tenderness.
"Have you ever been a maid?"
The cold voice sounded in the woman's ears, which frightened her heart, and she said tremblingly: "It will... Will be a little, did it for a while before. ”
"Okay, come with me. ”
After speaking, Sean motioned to the woman who was still kneeling at the door to pack up her luggage and leave with her, looking at the woman who reacted with a happy and worried expression on her face, he didn't have too much expression on his face, since he wanted to help, then he had to help to the end, after all, the politeness of the black shark was only maintained on his surface identity, once there was a conflict of interest with them, it was certain, then the fate of the mother and daughter would not be any better, and besides, the family was not short of a maid, and throwing it at home could also reduce a lot of burden on Anna.
After a short time, Sean hugged the little girl, took the woman who had changed into a relatively neat and tidy black dress, and carried a shabby suitcase and left the slums, and did not communicate with the two of them along the way in order to maintain his identity, until the figures of the three completely left the slum.
The little girl, who had been being held by Sean, suddenly said, "Uncle, are you my new father?"
"Shut up, Annie, sir is not your new dad. ”
"But Anne wanted Daddy. ”
When Sean looked at the big eyes that were already watery, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he said, "It's not uncle, it's called brother." ”
"Yes, uncle. ”
“...”
"I'm sorry, sir, Anne is too young to be sensible. The woman seemed to be afraid that Sean would be angry, and then the two of them went back to the slum.
"Out of the way, ma'am, just call me Shaun. ”
In the face of Sean's sudden bright smile, the woman lowered her head shyly and replied in a low voice, "Okay, Mr. Sean, please call me Delia." Also Anne you should come down and walk on your own, you're six years old. ”
Feeling the little hand on her neck getting tighter and tighter, the little girl shook her head, as if she lacked enough security, Sean hurriedly stopped Delia who was about to get angry, and said gently: "It's okay, I'll take you to my house to settle down first, and someone at home will negotiate a contract for you." ”
"Okay. Although Delia felt that Sean's attitude had changed a little quickly, she had no choice now, so she had to keep nodding her head.
As Sean led the two to the bus stop, a familiar black carriage appeared in view, leading them to the carriage parked on the side of the road.
Knocking on the door and window of the carriage, a pretty face with a smile pushed the door open, but it was dark in the blink of an eye, especially since Sean was still holding an unknown little girl and the good-looking Delia who followed him.
Vivien snorted coldly, "Who are they?"
Anne seemed to be taken aback by Vivien, her body trembled, and her arms wrapped more tightly around Sean's neck.
"Well, the maid I found..."
"Maid?" Vivien first turned her head to look at the good-looking Delia, and then at the little girl who was holding Sean closely, closed the car door directly, and said to the coachman, "Mr. Damian, let's go." ”
Damian, the coachman, of course, did not leave, and it was obvious that he also 'smelled' the vinegar in the air, and turned his head to give Sean a thumbs up and smiled ambiguously.
"Hey, Miss, listen to me. Sean smiled gratefully at Damian, then opened the unlocked car door, carried Anne inside, and began to explain what had happened to Vivien's 'death gaze'.
And Delia, who was left outside, looked at the luxurious carriage and had mixed feelings for a while, feeling like a mistress found by Mr. Sean's wife, although she was not as good as half of his wife's appearance, and even had nothing to do with Mr. Sean.
Just as she was worried about the present and the future, the beautiful aristocratic lady in the carriage reopened the door, and suddenly turned a hundred and eighty degrees in her tone, and said to herself gently, "Please get in the carriage, Lady Delia." ”
Looking at the white carpet laid in the carriage, Delia lowered her head with low self-esteem, then shook her head and said, "I... It would be nice to make the antechamber of the carriage. ”
Without waiting for Vivien to speak, Delia walked directly to the driver's seat of the carriage, and Mr. Damian, who was in the driver's seat, was also very gentlemanly and helped her into the carriage, and when Delia sat down steadily, Damian snorted softly and drove the carriage to Sean's house.
