Chapter 50: Ariel's Visit
"Why did you move here all of a sudden?"
As soon as Sen was relieved from his busy schedule, he was dragged to a new house by Windsor, who also looked dusty.
"I didn't move here, it was you."
"Me? How did I not know? ”
Sen turned his head to look at Windsor in surprise, his expression was faint and his eyes were focused on a small three-story building opposite, Sen also looked over, a very ordinary house did not know why it had a warm feeling.
"Give you a short vacation, just rest here and prepare for battle!"
When did the cold Duke of Windsor become so merciful? Mori, who has been working as a cow and a horse for him for many years, is simply grateful. It must have been God who heard his prayer and turned the demon Windsor into an angel.
"I used to wonder if we were related, but now it seems that you still treat me as a cousin! Don't worry, I can't leave it alone, I need to be on call if there is something."
Sen rubbed her eyes, a large part of the reason Charlotte agreed to her mother to buy this house was that it had an open-air garden on the second floor, so that she could come here to bask in the sun without anything else, and she could also look down on the passers-by and the neighbors around her, which was very pleasant!
Driving away the white doves parked on the benches, Charlotte laid the blanket on her back on the bench, rubbing the blanket comfortably and holding up the album in her hand to block the slanting sunlight.
"She's what you're for!"
+ One + Ben + Read + Novel xstxt Sen saw Charlotte who appeared in the opposite house to understand the meaning of that 'short vacation', which is simply to let yourself monitor (protect?). Charlotte! Windsor's eyesight was good, but after all, it was too far away for him to see what book Charlotte was holding.
"Mother seems to know about Charlotte, and if she comes, you can tell me."
Sen was heartbroken,
"Isn't this kind of thing just a servant just stuffed over?!"
Windsor glanced at him lightly,
"Forget it, you come with me to the barracks."
Sen heard that the short vacation was gone, and hurriedly made a statement,
"Can't forget it! How can a servant believe! I'll do it anyway! I promise not to let my aunt eat the little beauty! ”
In the end, he was simply teasing Windsor, but the Duke was in a good mood today and didn't bother with him,
"Don't leave today, I'll ask someone to bring you the luggage."
"I'd better go back and talk to my aunt,,, okay, I'll stay tonight."
Sen succumbed to Windsor's obscenity, and from this day on, he began his daily life as a commoner.
Charlotte had a faint feeling that there were hidden eyes nearby since she lay down, and she didn't have narcissistic feelings that the neighbors were peeking at her, but how to explain this feeling. Charlotte deliberately adjusted her posture and turned her head towards the opposite house, and secretly observed it through her fingers, isn't the opposite house unoccupied? When did the curtains open? It felt like the line of sight was coming from the window, but unfortunately the sun was too bright outside and too dark inside for Charlotte to see nothing.
Charlotte wanted to see it but didn't dare to look at it, and she could only secretly observe it through her fingers, and her lovely appearance fell into Windsor's eyes behind the window, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, like the warm winter sun, rare and precious.
Bathed in the light of Windsor, Sen couldn't help but secretly think in his heart, with such a charming smile in front of Charlotte, why didn't she be tempted, why did she have to do something thankless! For example, this time, how could Charlotte know that Windsor was good.
And that time in the forest, he faced Earl Edward, all because of Charlotte, and Sen bet that people must not know anything.
In the days that followed, Mori took off his mask and pretended to be new neighbors to visit the Charlottes and bring them gifts.
Lydia and the others all had a crush on this polite and talkative young man, and Charlotte was no exception, and Charlotte, who her mother thought was nice, didn't hate her.
Sen's friendly gesture also reminded the Charlotte family, who remembered that they had not visited their neighbors since they moved here to decorate their new house, and Charlotte's family was surrounded by such independent houses with gardens, and the distance between each house was just right, which was both protective and not too alienating.
The first thing I want to visit is Sen, after all, I'm familiar with him, what kind of gift should I give? When Mori came to his house, he prepared a gift for everyone, not particularly valuable but in large quantities, and Lydia decided to choose a gift that was about the same value as the sum of these things.
As the weather cooled down, Lydia knocked on Sen's door with a pair of foxskin boots and a pumpkin and apple pie she had made herself. She was joined by Charlotte Marie Emily and Cinderella, who had been depressed at home lately, and this time Charlotte said she was going to drag her out of the house.
Their lineup is strong enough, and visiting neighbors as a family also seems to be more important, and life won't be so boring after having a good relationship with neighbors.
The one who opened the door was a girl in her early twenties, with an ordinary face but a peaceful and elegant temperament, which made people look kind and comfortable, Lydia saw that she was dressed noble and extraordinary, thinking that she was the mistress of the house, so she said politely,
"Hello, we're the new tenant across the street, you're the owner of this house, right? Is Mr. Mori here? ”
Anne knew that she had been misunderstood, and quickly explained,
"Madame misunderstood, I'm also a guest here, Sen is at home, please come in."
"Ah, there are guests, then let's go back first, please tell Mr. Mori that we will visit next time."
Anne saw that Lydia was about to leave and hurriedly took Lydia's hand, Lydia was shocked by her rude behavior, and looked at each other in surprise, Anne also realized that her behavior was inappropriate and quickly let go, pretending to be generous and smiling and inviting Lydia in,
"It's okay, we'll leave right away, I'm afraid I'll blame you Sen for delaying you."
As she spoke, Anne looked behind Lydia seemingly casually,
"There are a lot of people, don't go back, come in and sit."
The girl's tone was casual when she spoke of Sen, it seemed that she was an acquaintance of Sen, so it was okay for them to go in, and at the invitation of Anne, Lydia and the others entered Sen's house together.
Anne was not the only guest in the forest, Lydia and when they entered the living room, they saw the noble lady sitting on the sofa, a graceful and luxurious aura countless times stronger than Lydia, and the family who came to visit the neighbors hesitated, so it really wouldn't disturb the noble lady?
Seeing that they were standing a little restrained, Mori hurriedly got up and placed Lydia and the others on the sofa, and they sat opposite the noble lady, which was very suitable for talking and looking at each other.
Ariel looked at the five women opposite and immediately excluded the older Emily and the underage Mary, so who of the remaining three is the 'friend' in the son's mouth? The three women on the opposite side have their own characteristics, one is mature and charming, one is lively and gorgeous, and the other is pure and shy. Ariel couldn't help but imagine that if she were a man, she would not be able to help but include them in the harem. But she still knows her son, he is a good man who is dedicated and will never hug left and right, so which is her son's dish?
The three little ones had no idea that they were being looked at, only Lydia and Emily could see the strangeness in Ariel's eyes, and the strangers they met for the first time were looked at like this, which made them feel a little uncomfortable. Sen saw the thoughts on both sides, and quickly pulled up the topic to make them relax.
"Is this an apple pie made by Lady Lydia herself? Thank you so much! I often can't eat well when I live here alone, and finally someone rescued me! ”
Mori's funny words made both Ariel and Lydia laugh, and the atmosphere didn't look so awkward, at least it seemed that way.
"If you like to eat, you can come to my house, you are welcome at any time!"
Lydia really likes this cheerful big boy, this sentence is sincere, it is by no means polite, everyone present can hear the sincerity, Sen doesn't know what good things he has done to get Lady Lydia's sincere love, and he can't express his emotion, so he can only silently swear that the mission left by the Duke will work hard to complete it for Charlotte's sake.
At this time, the noble lady sitting next to her spoke,
"It seems that your neighbor is very friendly, so my aunt is relieved, Sen, don't introduce me?"
They all sat together, and Sen was embarrassed not to introduce them to the two parties, so he could only bite the bullet and say,
"Lady Lydia, this is my cousin Ariel, aunt this is Lady Lydia, this is Charlotte, Lydia's eldest daughter."
Charlotte nodded to Ariel, and Cinderella took the initiative to introduce,
"Hello, Lady Ariel, I'm Cinderella, Charlotte's sister."
"Mary, Charlotte's best friend."
After knowing a few people, Ariel's eyes were focused on Charlotte. Cinderella's gloomy aura is obviously not the type of son likes, so only Charlotte is most likely the lover of her son who sneaks out for a tryst in the middle of the night.
When you go out to visit your neighbors today, you must make a good impression, so Charlotte dressed much more grandly than at home, and turned her blonde hair into braids and tied them in a bun at the back of her head and decorated them with flowers, which is not too grand and delicate and beautiful. Around his neck was a chain of ivory beads that his mother had made in the morning, and the ivory-white beads lined the skin extremely white, and his face seemed to glow faintly, which was very beautiful. Ariel couldn't help but praise the beautiful woman, and then looked back at Anne standing behind her respectfully, it was a cloud of difference, Ariel hesitated to match Windsor and Anne, it was obvious that her son's vision was too high, could he look at Anne who looked like an ordinary person?
Ariel has formed her own habit because of her long-term high position, and she never minds other people's feelings, she just looked at Charlotte nakedly, no matter how dull Charlotte was, she found that Ariel was staring at herself, although she often received other people's attention because of her beauty, but there should be other complex emotions in Ariel's eyes in addition to appreciation, Lydia They also noticed Ariel's strangeness, and they all felt strange, isn't this their first meeting?
"Miss Charlotte is very similar to her mother, they are such beautiful women!"
Hearing Ariel praise their mother and daughter, Lydia was very happy, and smiled reservedly, Charlotte had long been immune to the praise and continued to nibble on apple pie in small bites,
"Don't praise her, no matter how much you praise her tail, it's up to the sky!"
Apparently Lydia was just modest, but someone knew how to answer,
"Madame's beauty is still the same, and she is not inferior to Miss Charlotte!"
Everyone looked at Anne, who said this, but they didn't expect someone to lie and not blush. Charlotte was upset, not because she didn't want to be compared to a middle-aged woman, she hated it when others lied so much.
Ariel looked at Charlotte's fair and smooth face and neck, and then thought of the faint lines in the corners of her eyes, and couldn't help but give birth to the sadness of the beauty's twilight, and suddenly she didn't want to see Charlotte's young and energetic face, she turned her head stiffly and her face was very stinky.
Ariel was upset, and Sen glanced at Anne complainingly, but the other party had an expression that I thought so. Anne grew up with Ariel in the royal capital, and her status in Ariel's heart was not as good as Windsor's, and Sen couldn't get angry with her, so she could only resign herself to trying her best to make Ariel happy.
Charlotte didn't show her dissatisfaction with Anne even though she was a guest at someone else's house, and she looked at Anne quietly, not understanding what she was trying to provoke her relationship with Ariel. Anne didn't dodge and looked back at Charlotte calmly, but the jealousy in her heart couldn't be ignored.
