Chapter 80: Aveline
"Megan, I'm here!" shouted a girl with curly dark brown hair at the corner of the street, and the passers-by moved their eyes to her, after all, it was difficult to see a beautiful girl on the streets of London, perhaps because of the damn smoke in London, most of the ladies were reluctant to go out, they preferred to stay at home.
Aveline seemed to be accustomed to the gaze of the 6 pedestrians, and instead of being shy, she confidently puffed up her chest and looked at the person she was calling not far away.
With a bouquet of roses in her hand, Meghan looked at the place where the voice came from, "Hey!
Megan walked quickly to Aveline's side and handed her a bouquet of roses, "For the beautiful and charming Lady Aveline." β
Aveline graciously took the rose from Meghan's hand with a sweet smile on her face: "Thank you, is this compensation for the fact that you can only see me once a month?"
Megan shook her head, took out a rectangular box from her arms, the box was tightly wrapped in colored paper and streamers, and he handed it to Aveline: "That's not compensation, this is my compensation to you!"
Aveline took the box and asked Megan to hold the roses for her, while she reached out and began to unpack, "I don't think you mind if I open it and take a look, do you?"
Megan spread her hands: "Of course you can, the thing already belongs to you, and it's up to you to decide whether to dismantle it or not." β
"Wow~" Aveline was surprised and took out a golden necklace from the open gift box: "I should say...... Is it worthy of the youngest son of the Dorian family? Even a random gift to his girlfriend is enough for the average citizen to eat for several years......
Megan looked a little overwhelmed: "Hey, Aveline, I didn't mean to show off my wealth, I just ...... Just wanted to give you the best!"
"Poof!" Aveline looked at the helpless Meghan and couldn't help laughing: "Megan, I didn't say you were wrong, I'm glad you gave me a gift, I also like this necklace, do you want to help me bring it?"
Megan stiffly took the gold necklace that Aveline handed over: "I...... I think it's my pleasure!"
Aveline turned around, turned her back to Meghan, reached out and ruffled her hair, revealing her white and smooth neck, turned her head slightly and winked at Meghan: "Very good, then I'll leave it to you, Mr. Megan!"
Meghan swallowed as she looked at Aveline's smooth neck, then brought her a gold necklace with her trembling hands.
Aveline turned around and looked down at the necklace on her chest, "It's beautiful, are you right?"
Megan looked at Aveline obsessively: "Yes, it's really beautiful, I'm talking about your ......"
Aveline smiled at Megan, "I hope you'll always think so, then...... Where are we going today?"
Megan thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we can go to the library to pass the time, what do you think?"
Aveline smiled and nodded, "I think I'd love to go there, it's better than having a picnic in a foggy park." β
Megan smiled awkwardly, "Ha, it was just an accident, Aveline, you have to know how nervous I was when I first dated you, I didn't even notice my surroundings......"
Aveline reached out to grab Megan's arm, then looked up at him in surprise, "Hey, when did you start bringing the arm guard?"
Meghan was a little nervous, he clasped his nose with his other hand: "This is a gift from my brother, he said that this is an arm guard blessed by God, and wearing it will allow me to be blessed by God, and he also said that when I bring it, no one but me is forbidden to touch it, otherwise God's blessing will disappear." β
Aveline frowned, "Your brother is such a weirdo, how can God's blessing appear on the armguard?" and...... I remember you told me before that your brother was an unbeliever. β
Meghan smiled awkwardly: "Ha, he has recently started to believe in God, I don't know why, he has always been weird, I always can't understand his thoughts and practices." β
Aveline looked at Megan with suspicion, "I think you'd better not hide anything from me!"
Megan hurriedly said: "I won't, I promise!"
Aveline nodded in satisfaction, "Very well, then you need to tell me now...... What are you doing other than this day you see me every month?"
Megan had a proud smile on her face: "I'm doing something that can help those poor citizens improve their living conditions, and when I succeed, I think you'll be surprised!"
Aveline raised her eyebrows: "It would be great if you could really help those poor citizens, don't you rush to your father's study and ask him to waive the interest on the loan of the poor citizens, I think if you were my child, you said those things to me, I would also want to beat you!"
Megan glanced at Aveline helplessly: "Please don't mention that incident again, I'm not the immature me I was a year ago." β
Aveline agrees with Meghan's words: "I think so, and I'm also curious about what happened to you, and why did it make such a big change in you, like...... It's like you've grown up overnight!"
Meghan thought of the assassin who was exposed because of herself, if she didn't expose the existence of the assassin, the path of the brotherhood's pursuit of the creed would be smoother, and he thought of Soros, who died for him, and gradually put a trace of self-reproach on his face, he forced a smile to look at Aveline: "Because of one of my friends, Soros, he used his actions to make me realize how naΓ―ve, ridiculous and impulsive I used to be......"
Aveline followed Meghan and didn't see the expression on his face: "I don't know what this Soros did to make you change, but I think when I have the chance, we may be able to have dinner together, and I have to thank him for making my boyfriend from a boy to a mature man." β
Megan had an ugly smile on his face, and he didn't even notice a tear slipping from the corner of his eye: "I don't think the opportunity to eat dinner should be gone, but I will take you to thank him in the future, I think he will be happy to know, after all, it is rare for him to see such a beautiful lady." β
"You've always been so ......," Aveline said, looking up, and then said to Meghan in surprise, "Megan?!, what's wrong with you? Did I say something wrong?"
"What?" Meghan looked at Aveline in surprise, then reached for her finger, which looked at the wet finger, "Ah, there was a grain of sand in my eye just now, don't care." β
Aveline looked at Megan, whose eyes were red, and she touched his cheek distressedly: "My poor boy, if you have anything sad, remember to tell me, let me comfort you, and let me do my duty as a girlfriend, okay?"
