There was quite a commotion in the restaurant, and everyone else was looking at it and pointing at Garion. Two women and a man argue in a scene where the other guests look like Garion is caught in the middle of a peachy affair.

This made him feel very helpless, because the ruby necklace was really intended as a gift for Madame Balanchi, but now it became evidence of rape.

Looking at Mrs. Balanchi, who was desperately slapping her waist and chest in order to prove that her milk volume was more amazing than the other party, Garion had no choice but to forcibly explain, "Wait, things are really not what you imagined, this jewelry is a gift from me to you." ”

"Gifts?"

Balanchi rolled his eyes and asked rhetorically, "I don't need to make an excuse to buy a gift like this and not take it home to me, but instead sit with a woman and have lunch?" Who are you fooling to think that my name Lady Agatha is called for nothing? Don't have any reasoning skills? ”

Garion glared at her, "Murder on the Eastern Train" was originally sent by himself, Balanchi actually kicked his nose in the face, he really thought he was the author!

Of course, this kind of thing has to be calculated slowly, and the top priority is to explain to Balanchi that the two of them really just had a meal. While Garian pondered how to refute, Aldai stood up unhurriedly and said politely, "Hello Lady Agatha, my name is Adai, and I am a book friend of His Excellency Trotsky. I had taken a fancy to a ruby necklace in a jewellery shop, which I had already ordered, but His Excellency Trotsky said that he also liked it and wanted to buy it for his wife. I hoped I would be able to endure the pain of parting love, and after thinking about it again, I agreed. In return, he treated me to lunch, and that's how it happened. Everything I said, you can verify it from the owner of the jewelry store, and there is absolutely no lie. This jewelry store is at the end of the street, and I can take you there. ”

Arda was polite and retreated, which made Balanchi hesitate, she turned to look at Garion, and asked hesitantly, "What he said is true?" This ruby necklace was given to me? ”

"Of course, this ruby necklace cost fifty pounds, do you know what fifty pounds is? That's the equivalent of an average worker's income for a year! ”

The mid-to-late 19th century was indeed a paradise for European literati, who wrote a manuscript or published a book casually, and the income they obtained could be ten or even twenty times the annual income of an ordinary family.

Garion angrily scolded Balanchi a few words, and she was also a little guilty, so she said kindly, "This, I wasn't also impulsive just now, I didn't understand the situation, don't be angry, just treat me badly, and apologize to you." I'm sorry, dear. ”

That dear voice was very sweet, it sounded like she was coquettish, and she was also deliberately made to show Ardai and swear her sovereignty.

See? The old lady is the legitimate orthodoxy.

From the moment she entered the store, Aldai attracted the attention of all men, coupled with the magnificent Balan Pond that made the hearts of men ripple, both of them circled around Garion, and their eyes were almost on fire when they looked at Galian, two beautiful women who were as beautiful as flowers, and even ranked in London were willing to fight for a man, did he save the world in his last life?

Aldai smiled and said, "Actually, I also like Lady Agatha's work, I am really sorry to have a misunderstanding between the two of you this time, and I apologize to both of you." ”

"It's okay."

Having said this, Balanchi could not continue to accuse her, so he comforted her and said, "I was also wrong before, I didn't understand the situation, so let's come to my house if you have time, I don't have any friends in London, and I hope Miss Alder can visit her often." ”

Ardai nodded and said softly, "Of course I do, Lady Agatha." I also have a lot of literary questions that I would like to discuss with you. ”

Looking at the two who were still tearing one minute ago, but the next minute they were like sisters. Garian, who was apprehensive, took a sip of wine, then quickly got up to check out. I can't eat this meal, and I don't know what the plot is when I go back.

After paying the bill, it was time to part, and the two said goodbye to Ardai at the door of the restaurant, and then parted ways.

Garion took Madame Balanchi into a private rented carriage and prepared to return home.

Before getting on the bus, the two were talking and laughing like a pair of intimate re-election, but when both of them got on the bus, they were instantly separated from each other, and the atmosphere in the carriage drew their swords and bows.

Garion spoke, he didn't give the other party a good look.

"Thank God, your recklessness almost ruined my big thing!"

Garion exhaled, glared at her, remembered the jewelry box in his arms, took it out and threw it to the other party, and said angrily, "Do you know who she is?" She is the daughter of Hugo, the daughter of Hugo, the leader of the republican literati in Paris! Can you have a snack! ”

"Ah, she'...... Is Hugo's daughter? ”

Balanchi's face changed slightly, Hugo's fame in Paris was even greater than that of Napoleon III, and in the thirty or forty years since he became famous, there was not a single person who did not know this name.

Thinking of his previous actions, he slapped his thigh with remorse, "You said earlier that she was Hugo's daughter, I wouldn't have this attitude." Hey, no, didn't I help you get the conversation back? Inviting her to be a guest at home, how can it be considered a good thing for you? Wait, or do you really have a crush on her? ”

Hearing this straightforward question, Garion was stunned for a moment, then shook his head decisively and said, "I didn't, don't talk nonsense." ”

Balanchi pursed his lips and said disdainfully, "Heh, this is a man. ”

"What happened to me to you?"

Garion finally couldn't hold back his temper, he raised his voice, and asked, "Hey, can you stop saying half of what you have to say, and finish it?" ”

Balanchi was also angry, she patted the leather seat, and retorted, "Hmph, I've seen more men than you've eaten, do you think I can't see your inner thoughts?" If you like it, you like it, can't you say it out loud? You have to hide it. I like you, didn't I just run away from Paris with you and go to London with you? Have I ever had a word of complaint? No! Because I know other men can't be relied on, except for you! ”

Annoyed, Balanchi took out a new pocket watch from her bag in a huff, she grabbed the pocket watch and stuffed it to Garion, stared at his face and said word by word, "I took the last pair of earrings and jewelry before, saved the money you bought me clothes, and pooled the money to buy you this pocket watch!" Just because tomorrow is your birthday, I want to surprise you! ”

Mrs. Balanchi's eyes were red, and she did not speak. Her chest rose and fell, as if she wanted to vent the grievances in her heart.

A woman's crying is the best weapon to stop a quarrel, and Garion relents in an instant.

"I'm sorry."

Garion froze in place, he held the copper case, felt the coldness of his palms, guilt welled up in his heart, took her hand, and whispered, "This is the best gift I've ever received." ”

"Thank you, dear."
