CHAPTER XVI
"Serena, will you sit down?"
Unable to see John's anger and questioning, Miss Philip walked up to her daughter with a nonchalant face, tucked her newly exposed little foot into her clothes, and then turned to look at her former student.
There was silence on his face.
After staring at a pair of eyes, John saw Miss Philip's calm but sad eyes, and the anger in his heart suddenly died out as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on his head.
The anger just now made him lose his calm judgment.
Because he really couldn't accept the fact that he saw, he subconsciously thought that Miss Philip was under great pressure because of the unsatisfactory life, and finally vented it on the child. But seeing the lady's calm expression and indifferent reaction at this time, John quickly understood that what he saw and thought was probably not the truth!
"Miss Philip."
Taking a deep breath to calm his mood as much as possible, John stepped forward and asked softly, "Can you tell me what happened?" This kid ......"
"Why do you want to know this?"
Before John could finish speaking, Miss Philip suddenly interrupted him very rudely, and asked in a somewhat cold voice. The moment John appeared in front of her, her reaction was slightly surprised and flustered, but at this moment, Miss Philip's expression and tone were absolutely indifferent. As if John were a complete stranger, the lady just wanted him to leave her room as much as she could!
"This ......"
The question stopped John at once.
When it comes to the relationship between the two, Anna Philip is just his former tutor, although the relationship is not far, but it is not close; And if it was purely out of compassion or something, there were many women and children begging along the streets outside, and John did not give any decent help.
Sometimes John himself couldn't figure out why he was so obsessed with it!
After a long silence, John sighed heavily, nodded and said, "Miss Philip, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have come to listen to your **...... But I really have no ill will! ”
When he said this, John couldn't help but glance at the little girl sitting quietly on the bed, sighed again in his heart, took out the envelope that had been prepared a long time ago, and gently placed it on the table beside him.
"What is this?"
Miss Philip asked as soon as she saw the envelope.
"Some money."
John's mood had regained his calmness, and he said calmly, "Miss Philip, I just want to give my friend a little help, a little little help. ”
"No, no, I can't take your money anymore!"
After listening to John's words, Miss Philip's reaction was extremely strong, and she immediately waved her hand and said, "I haven't paid back the hundred dollars last time, and I don't have a job now, so I don't ...... at all."
"Miss Philip!"
This time it was John's turn to interrupt the other party, he stepped forward to look into Miss Philip's eyes, and said very sincerely: "You used to be my governess, although I don't know why my grandfather suddenly fired you, but in my heart you are still my friend, the friend who taught me a lot, so please don't refuse...... Even if it's for Serena, okay? ”
"This, John ......"
Looking at John's still immature face, Miss Philip was finally moved!
Turning to look at her innocent daughter, the indifference on the proud lady's face gradually disappeared, and her eyes, which had been as if they were dead, slowly came to life, and soon turned slightly red.
"Sorry to bother you."
Seeing that Miss Philip was no longer firmly refusing, John breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and bowed slightly, "I have no intention of interfering in your family and life...... Won't come back in the future. ”
Just now, John had made up his mind not to bother with Miss Philip's affairs. Although he did regard the other party as his lifelong friend, and wanted to give her some help, it had to be based on Miss Philip's will. And now, John already felt that he was offending the proud lady.
So with that, John turned and walked towards the door.
Behind him, Miss Philip's eyes flickered, and she looked at the envelope on the table, and then at John's back, and her expression became extremely complicated, as if moved, as if hesitant, and mixed with a hint of gloom.
"Squeak!"
Just as John opened the door and saw the coachman Fett standing outside the door, Miss Philip's hoarse voice suddenly came from behind him: "John, you ...... Would you like to hear my story......"
……
"Bang!"
The wooden door was closed again.
Perhaps because it was so shabby, the door couldn't be closed in the normal way, so it could only be closed with a hard bang. And this crisp sound suddenly startled the driver outside the door!
Seeing John back in the house again, Fett couldn't help but touch his head, puzzled.
In his extremely simple thinking, he really couldn't figure out the thoughts of the young master of the Huntelaar family. Why did the eldest young master of a wealthy family, and the sole heir of the family, come to such a dirty place and see a woman who was neither beautiful nor young?
"Just because this woman worked as his governess?"
Recalling the occasional conversation between his master and John, Fett couldn't help but sneer.
Fett has been working for the Stone family for nearly twenty years, starting as an apprentice as a child and now working as a coachman for the master's family, and he is very satisfied with his current life. Because Stone's family is very kind, and the remuneration given to him is quite good, enough for his family to eat. But Fettco never imagined that his master would treat a fired governess like John, at least not for it!
"That's not what a good gentleman should be."
Shaking his head thoughtfully, Fett secretly criticized the little young master of the Huntelaar family.
Of course, he only dared to criticize in his heart, because he knew that Joshua had a very good relationship with this young master, and he didn't want to cause trouble for himself. Just like now, no matter what he thought in his heart, he could only stay at the door honestly, waiting for John to come out.
Just as the coachman Fett stood still, thinking about what he would not say, there was a sudden muffled noise in the room, and then there was John's exclamation: "What did you say? ”
……
Haha, this chapter is a whim, try a way to write, so it's a little short, and there's a more one later.
Hmm, it doesn't feel very good.
