Chapter 540: From Finland

The long-awaited first love ended before it began, and the sad girl did not rest all night until dawn, when Caroline simply packed her bags and left her room.

She had planned to leave quietly, and he didn't necessarily care about himself anyway.

The hotel corridor was empty, leading to the elevator room to the left, and not far from the right was Eric's room, she looked left and right, a little hesitant, and finally couldn't hold back some expectations in her heart, and found a very reasonable reason for herself, not saying goodbye would be too rude for the upbringing she had received since she was a child.

Arriving at the door of Eric's room, Caroline reached out and rang the doorbell, and then waited quietly, thinking quickly what to say, maybe he would keep himself again, so that she would forgive him for what he said yesterday, she had always felt that she was a very tolerant girl, not to mention that she liked him so much.

Then the door opened, and the tall blonde woman appeared to her yesterday afternoon, a simple pink silk nightgown tied to her, and the imprints held up by the Hun showed that she was not wearing anything else, and that two smooth and round legs were exposed underneath, and anyone could see that she must have stayed here last night.

"Good morning, Miss Wilson, Eric is taking a shower, is there anything wrong with you?" Claudia politely motioned to Caroline to come in, and did not make any other gestures because of the sudden appearance of the girl in front of her, she was a very intelligent woman, and would never take the initiative to ask about the other women around Eric.

Caroline stood in front of Claudia, who was much taller than herself, and shrunk her neck with some inferiority, holding back the sourness that rose in her heart. Gently twitched his little nose. In a low voice, "Miss Schiffer." I'm just here to say goodbye to Eric, and tell him I'm back in London. ”

After the girl finished speaking, without waiting for Claudia to reply, she walked towards the elevator room in a bit of a panic.

Claudia glanced at the girl's dejected back, walked back to the room, knocked on the bathroom door, and told Eric what had just happened.

Caroline walked out of the hotel. He was standing on the side of the road about to stop a taxi, when he heard a voice behind him calling out to him, and when he turned his head, Eric had chased him out.

Eric came to stand beside the girl, only then did he breathe a sigh of relief, buttoned the last two buttons of his shirt, and said, "Caroline, I'll take you to the airport later, I'm not worried about you girl." ”

The girl listened to Eric's words, and her heart was a little moved at first. But immediately he turned his back angrily, "No, Eric. You're still ...... Let's go back with Miss Schiffer, I can go back myself. ”

Eric buttoned his shirt, ignored Caroline's words, and took the girl's small duffel bag: "Let's go, I'll have someone buy you a ticket, it's better to have breakfast first, it's okay not to skip breakfast." ”

After Eric finished speaking, seeing that Caroline was still motionless with thin pink lips, he had to resort to a trick, reached out and took the girl's little hand, and walked towards the hotel.

The moment she was held by Eric's warm and rough hand, Caroline's resistance disappeared completely, and she lowered her little head and blushed, quietly following Eric like an obedient baby.

After breakfast, Eric took Caroline to Berlin SchΓΆnefeld Airport in a hotel car, helped the girl get the ticket, and contacted Rachel in London to pick up the plane at that time, and stayed with the girl until the flight to London began to board, and Eric watched Caroline walk to the boarding channel with confidence.

Hearing the sound of the door being opened, Claudia, who was leaning on the sofa in the living room and watching TV, propped herself up and leaned on the back of the sofa to look at Eric: "Sent away?"

Eric nodded slightly, and walked over to stop the girl's slender waist and leaning against the sofa.

Claudia felt Eric's feeling of some loss, and couldn't help but say, "Since you like her too, why did you let her go?"

"Because I'm a good person," Eric shook his head self-deprecatingly, and when he saw the girl in his arms, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said, "Do you know who she is?"

"How could I not know, the only daughter of the Earl of Wilson in Berkshire, I heard about it last month when I was in Hollywood, and the newspapers were full of words that you were planning to marry each other, and when I came here yesterday, I was afraid that you would drive me away because I was a commoner. ”

Eric gently pinched Claudia's soft waist, "Okay, stop teasing me, did you eat breakfast?"

"Of course," Claudia grinned, rubbing Eric into his arms, "I'm going out today, and I can be your guide." ”

As soon as Caroline was sent away, he immediately brought another girl to appear in public, Eric himself had no concerns, but if it appeared in the newspaper, it would definitely make Caroline and her family feel embarrassed, Eric was going to refuse, thought about it, and took out a travel brochure from a bunch of magazines under the coffee table, flipped through it for a while, and said: "Let's go around other cities, so that we can get rid of the paparazzi, how about Prague?"

Claudia also turned her head over, Prague is the capital of the Czech Republic, only more than two hundred kilometers away from Berlin, however, the girl shook her head and said: "I need to apply for a visa to Prague, although the tourist visa is processed quickly, but it is definitely impossible for us to go anywhere today." ”

Eric also reacted that the EU has only been established for two years and has only six member states. After tracing his finger on the map for a while, Eric picked the Netherlands, which is also a member of the European Union: "Then go to Amsterdam." ”

"Okay, I'll go change my clothes and give my agent a call, he's in Paris now to negotiate an endorsement deal for me," Claudia stood up and walked towards the bedroom.

Eric hastily flipped through a travel book and went into the bedroom, where Claudia had already changed and was standing at her desk, pulling out her mobile phone and address book from her Chanel bag and looking up the number.

Eric casually glanced at Claudia and was about to make his way to the closet, but was caught by the mobile phone in her hand.

Claudia had just found her agent's temporary number and was about to call. It felt like Eric was coming behind him. Reached over and took his mobile phone. He put his arm around her waist.

Claudia thought that Eric was suddenly interested, and turned her head to glare at him with some disgust, and was about to take the initiative to lie on the large desk, only to find that Eric was carefully playing with her mobile phone.

Claudia blushed at the thought she had just made, and turned to face Eric, "Is there a problem?"

Eric held the mobile phone in his hand and apologetically approached Claudia and kissed the corner of her curved lips, "Sorry, baby, we probably won't be able to go to Amsterdam." But maybe in a few days, I can take you around Finland. ”

"What," Claudia asked, confused.

Eric pointed to the eye-catching 'NOKIA' logo on the mobile phone: "This mobile phone is from Finland. ”

Claudia still has a confused expression, but Eric is a little excited, he has always remembered Apple, but he ignores Nokia, which dominated more than 40% of the global mobile phone market before the emergence of Apple's mobile phone, which is also a giant with a maximum market value of more than 200 billion US dollars.

Moreover, in the original time and space, Apple only began to rise slowly in 2007. It's a long way off, and Nokia's meteoric growth is something that has been around for the last few years. Now, if you can get your hands on it, it will be another huge fortune.

……

Rachel sat in the departure hall of Heathrow Airport, listening helplessly to the noise of a talker next to him, staring at the entrance and exit not far away, until a familiar figure appeared in the field of vision, Rachel breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and said to a good-looking young man next to him: "Sorry, Mr. Luke, my girlfriend is back." ”

Rachel deliberately accentuated his tone on the word 'girlfriend', and after saying that, he ignored the young man's surprised expression and walked straight towards Caroline.

After getting closer, Rachel noticed Caroline's strange appearance, the girl's sharp white face had no previous aura, her thin lips were pursed into a line, her eyelashes were drooping, and her beautiful blonde hair, which was originally fluffy and slightly curly, was hanging softly at this time, and every strand looked so listless, and the little person floated in the crowd, giving people the feeling of a poor cat that had just been abandoned by her owner and had been drenched in heavy rain.

"Caroline, what's wrong with you?" asked Rachel as he quickened his pace and stepped forward, concerned.

Caroline looked up and saw that it was Rachel, and her pursed lips immediately collapsed, and her eyes rushed into Rachel's arms with red eyes: "Woo, woo, Rachel, he ...... He rejected me. ”

Rachel, who originally thought something big had happened, was relieved to hear Caroline's words, but she also knew that this was definitely a big blow to this little girl who was just starting to fall in love, so Rachel still hugged the girl tightly, patted her back and comforted: "Okay, don't cry, I told you a long time ago, Eric Williams is a playboy, you were ......"

"Woo, he's not," the girl retorted with a sob.

Rachel was a little helpless, but he had to follow the girl in his arms: "Okay, he's not." ”

"Woo, he's a badass," the girl said quickly again.

"Well, he's a badass," Rachel agreed.

Caroline leaned into Rachel's arms and cried for a while before she finally stopped sobbing and whispered, "Rachel, I miss my mother." ”

Rachel wiped the girl's face, slung her backpack over her shoulder, took Caroline's little hand and walked out, "Let's go, I'll take you home." ”

Caroline obediently followed Rachel until the two of them left the airport lobby, when she suddenly murmured, "He took my hand." ”

Rachel took out the key, opened the door of his large-displacement Jaguar Monarch, and stuffed the girl into the passenger before saying, "I know, today's Daily Mail is in the picture." ”

Caroline looked at Rachel a little nervously, "So, what do they say?"

"No matter what they do, the Daily Mail is a gossip tabloid that likes to talk nonsense. ”

Rachel said, starting the car and turning onto the highway, Caroline saw her habitually wanting to step on the accelerator, and she didn't care to ask, so she quickly fastened her seat belt and said, "Rachel, drive slower, it's too dangerous." ”

"All right, little darling. I'll listen to you for everything today. Rachel slowed down. She had visited Caroline's estate a few times, so she didn't need the girl to give her directions, and after leaving the airport area, she drove northwest along the highway.

After the car had stabilized, Rachel cautiously asked, "Are you feeling better, will you tell me what's going on?"

After a moment of silence, Caroline whispered, "He suddenly said yesterday that we were not suitable. ”

Rachel saw the girl throw out such a sentence, and did not speak again. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart and didn't ask anything more. She knew that Caroline still had a deep affection for Eric, and she must have hidden something for him at this time, but Rachel also knew that although this Nizi had a weak personality, she sometimes liked to drill the horns of the bull, and the eight cows couldn't pull it back.

The Jaguar Monarch passed by the town of Windsor and walked more than ten kilometers before coming to Wilson Manor, located next to a tributary of the River Thames.

The doorman of the manor saw the car parked outside the gate and stepped forward to ask a few questions. I saw the car window rolled down, revealing my young lady's obviously haggard little face: "Mark." It's me. ”

"Miss, you're finally back, Madame mentioned you in the morning, I'll inform Madame, oh, I'll open the door for you first," the middle-aged man named Mark greeted Caroline respectfully, and hurriedly pulled the big iron door of the manor open before entering the security booth and picking up the phone.

Although it was not the first time to visit here, driving through the long corridor of Wilson Manor and looking at the large manor of dozens of acres in front of him, Rachel still couldn't help but feel a little emotional and envious. The British aristocracy has long been in decline, the maintenance costs of traditional aristocratic estates and castles are extremely high, and because of the high 75% inheritance tax in the United Kingdom, it is difficult for most of the economically weak nobles to maintain their ancestral business, and they have to donate a large number of manor castles or simply abandon them. The Earl of Wilson was one of the few nobles in England who still thrived today.

The car stopped on the side of the road, and before Rachel could get out of the car, he saw a graceful woman walking out of the castle with several maids, and when she saw her mother, Caroline also hurriedly jumped out of the car and ran towards the woman.

Rachel got out of the car, opened the back door, and just as Carolyn's duffel bag was taken out, a maid came over and took the bag.

Mrs. Wilson also came over with her daughter at this time, and stretched out her hand to Rachel and said, "Miss Vichy, thank you for taking care of Caroline during this time. ”

"You're welcome, Mrs. Wilson, Caroline is my good friend, and this is what I should do," Rachel replied politely, the British people's awe of the aristocracy was almost deeply rooted in their bones, Rachel was able to get along well with Caroline, mainly because the girl's simple personality concealed the sense of distance brought about by the aristocratic manners she had cultivated since childhood, however, in the face of Mrs. Wilson, Rachel always felt a little restrained, and couldn't wait to leave:" Madame, now that Caroline has arrived home safely, I think I should go back to London, and I have some business for the afternoon. ”

"If it's not anything important, let's stay for lunch," Mrs. Wilson still smiled gently, and made a gentle gesture of please, while Caroline stepped forward and grabbed Rachel: "Stay, Rachel, we were on the phone the night before yesterday, and I know you must have nothing to do in the afternoon." ”

Rachel's cheeks were slightly hot as he was poked on the spot, and he really wanted to reach out and pinch the stupid girl's face. Looking at Mrs. Wilson, whose smile had not changed in the slightest, Rachel could only nod slightly: "Then bother." ”

Hearing Rachel's promise, Caroline eagerly pulled her towards the castle, and Mrs. Wilson, who was with her daughter, said, "Caroline, wait a minute, go and say hello to your father, he is in the study." ”

"I see, Mom. ”

"Also, Matthew and Robert will come back for dinner at noon, and the little one will come over too. ”

Caroline was pleasantly surprised and asked, "What about Charles?"

"He went to New York a week ago," Mrs. Wilson looked at her daughter dotingly, "Your sister is so incompetent that she doesn't even know her brother's whereabouts." ”

Caroline poked out her tongue delicately, and quickly retracted it under Mrs. Wilson's glare.

Rachel, who was following them, only felt that her scalp was numb, because of Caroline's chatter, she knew the situation of Earl Wilson's family very well, the current Earl James Wilson has three sons and a daughter, and the three sons happened to be the mother and daughter who mentioned the names of the three people, Caroline is the youngest child in the family, although Countess Edith Wilson looks like she is only in her forties, but only because of good maintenance, the actual age is much older, her eldest son Matthew and second son Robert are married and have children, only Charles, who is four years older than Caroline, is still single, but it is said that he is also engaged.

Listening to the conversation between the mother and daughter, the people of this big family were almost all gathered at noon, and the thought of this made Rachel's unease feel stronger, and it turned out that there was nothing wrong with the bad feeling in her heart.

With the arrival of noon, the castle of Earl Wilson's family became more and more crowded, and the two sons of the host's family with their wives and children, as well as several other waves of other guests, gave Rachel a strong sense of escape, but fortunately, the considerate Countess seemed to feel Rachel's emotions, and as soon as lunch was over, she whispered a few words to her daughter, and Caroline took Rachel back to her room.
