Mademoiselle de Léoland's seemingly well-behaved reply made the Marquis of Treville laugh even more heartily. Even though he knew that this child would definitely not have a good impression of himself in his heart, he didn't care.

"Ha, I knew you were a clever kid, and now it seems that it is so." He couldn't help but sigh softly, "As long as you have been assisting him, I will be relieved......"

Although there are all kinds of shortcomings, and sometimes even harsh to the point of being unkind, at least the old man's care and love for his grandson is not compromised in the slightest.

"It's good for me, so there's no reason why I shouldn't." Mary replied directly. "Isn't it my attachment to him?"

"No, you fancy your mind so clearly." The old marquis waved his hand, once again expressing his affection for the other party, "There are many people who are willing to attach themselves to our family now, but there are not many children like you, and I have entrusted my grandson to you......"

When he had said that, he stood up and prepared to go back to rest.

However, as soon as he reached the door, he ran into his personal servant, and after a whisper, he walked back with a strange expression.

Mary did not get up from her chair quickly because of some difficulty in moving, and she was slightly surprised when she looked at the old man who was soon gone.

"Is there anything else you want to explain?"

"It's a nuisance. Miss. The old marquis's tone was inexplicable.

"Hmm...... The Mademoiselle de Dillion had just come to visit our house. ”

After a moment of silence, Mary quickly regained her composure.

"She? Why did she come running over all of a sudden? ”

Did you hear what you were doing in private?

Unlikely. Neither this old thing nor that person would have an incentive to publicize such a thing.

Besides. Even if she knew, she wouldn't have any reason to ask her teacher for guilt - aren't everyone the same?

"Who knows." The old man frowned slightly, then looked up at Mary and sneered, "Maybe she misses Charles, after all, Charles said they hadn't seen her in days." ”

He wanted to see something like embarrassment or jealousy on Mary's face, but she failed, and Mary's expression remained calm.

However, although it seems to be calm. But her mind had already turned through a complicated mind.

Does Matilda really fall in love with that guy?

After all, having been together for several years, she knows Matilda, and she is not the kind of person who will fall in love with someone else.

Could it be that these two people have something else to hide?

"Really? So you don't have a reason to stop her, do you? Maybe it was sarcasm, maybe it was teasing, Mary looked at the old man with a slight smile, "I don't think Matilda, no matter how bold she is, will not dare to run to bed with Charles in your house?" ”

"Hmph, who knows. Today's young people are all messing around. The old man replied with some dissatisfaction. Especially you girls, you have received more education, and you feel that you are all bold! ”

Apparently, he still felt a little indignant at Matilda for "seducing" his grandson.

But. Maybe it was the sudden thought that he had hit the other party by mistake, or maybe he didn't want the kid to see his jokes, he quickly restrained his feelings.

"Yes. Of course I wasn't going to stop her, so why should I be? No one wants to spread the ugly thing. But. I didn't want to see her, so I came to receive her with a smile...... "The old man still looked at Mary. It was as if to ask her what to do. "What do you think now? Why don't you avoid her first? ”

Even he could see that in his grandson's heart at this time, Mary's position was no match for Matilda's, and if there was any conflict, it would ruin his plan. So a showdown with her now doesn't seem like a wise strategy.

However, to his surprise, Mary smiled slightly.

"No, what is there to avoid? I'd like to see her later, if you can allow it. ”

"Huh?" The old man couldn't figure out what tricks she suddenly wanted to play. "What do you mean by that?"

Does she want to go back on it?

"Don't worry, I'll do what you've been told." Mary was still smiling, seemingly unmoved by the other's suspicions. "Could it be that now that Cheng Dù is here, do you think I will still do stupid things?"

After looking at each other for a moment, the old man finally lowered his gaze and gave in slightly to the child. "Well, whatever you want, now you have the trust. As long as you can achieve your goals, you can choose how to do it. ”

Now I can trust you, but if you dare to play tricks with me, you know the consequences yourself--although this sentence is not explicitly stated, the meaning has already been clearly expressed in his eyes.

Mary staggered slightly, and then reluctantly owed to him.

The old marquis only nodded at her slightly, and then strode out of the room.

………………

Of course, Charles didn't know about the agreement between Mary and the Marquis of Treville, although he felt that today's grandfather was a little unusually excited, but he would never have thought that he would actually do such a thing behind his back.

However, he didn't have long to deal with his business when he heard the news of Matilda's visit. He immediately stopped the letter he was writing and prepared to go over to receive him.

However, at this time, in addition to being happy, Charles was more apprehensive.

Naturally, the reason does not need to be explained.

He quickly arrived at the reception room, then pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as the door opened, Matilda looked up, and when she saw that it was Charles. There was that heartfelt smile on her face.

"Charles, good morning."

This smile. made Charles forget the anxiety in his heart for a while.

"Matilda, good morning. How did you come up with the idea of coming here today? He asked with a smile.

Then, after making sure that no one was around, he walked briskly over to Matilda's side, then reached out and gently wiped her face.

This overly intimate gesture made Matilda blush slightly, but she didn't struggle, and only waited for Charles' hand to leave before she spoke.

"Is your sister at home? It's been a long time since I've seen her, so I wanted to come and see her. ”

"Oh. She's at home today, probably still in the bedroom. Charles nodded, "She's not feeling well lately, so she doesn't go out a lot, so you can come and see her later." ”

"Oh, is it? That's really worrying, I'll go over later. Matilda looked a little worried, then looked at Charles with some hesitation, her eyes flickering behind the lenses.

Although these words are said without leakage. But Matilda's expression was clear—she couldn't help but want to run over to meet Charles, because she hadn't seen each other in a long time. After making sure Charles was resting at home, she came to visit.

So, she's a little tangled now. I was a little worried when I heard that my friend was uncomfortable, but I didn't want to leave Charles's side so soon.

It wasn't until she hadn't seen her for a long time recently that she was better than she originally thought she was. Like this person even more.

However, she will soon not need to be entangled. Because Charles leaned down and kissed her on the lips.

"Hmm!"

Matilda, who was suddenly attacked by him like this. Out of tune, muffled.

Although there was a slight reflex of resistance when attacked, Matilda quickly gave up the struggle, closed her eyes and kissed Charles.

It wasn't until a few moments later that Charles regained his body and looked at Matilda with a smile. After all, it was in his own home, and Charles only dared to do this.

"Please accept my apologies, Matilda, I'm sorry, I haven't had time to see you lately......"

"It's okay, I know, you've always had big things to do." Matilda's face was covered with red clouds, and she didn't even dare to look at Charles, "But...... But...... I would like to ask, are you free these days? I would like to visit Mademoiselle de Périette's salon again...... I can go alone, but I want to...... It would be even more enjoyable if you could come with me...... ”

These intermittent but loving words made Charles's mood even happier.

"Ha, of course, when the most urgent things have been dealt with recently, I can find a loophole, and then we will go over together, right?"

Then, he couldn't help but add, "Why don't we gather there together then?" ”

Do something you like by the way - this phrase is already written on the face.

Matilda used "You don't have to be so direct!" He glanced at Charles, then nodded silently.

Then she regained her scruples, her face recovering to her usual reserved and indifferent look.

"Then we'll see you then, sir." She saluted respectfully to Charles as if they were strangers, "I'll go see your sister first." ”

"Oh, go ahead," said Charles, spreading his hands, "you are the best guest in my house, and you can do as you please." ”

His heart was already looking forward to seeing him again in a few days.

In this way, after a few more moments of warmth, Matilda regrouped her appearance, walked out of the reception room, and walked towards her friend's bedroom.

In order not to arouse suspicion, she deliberately waited for Charles to leave before coming out.

Although she had come to see Charles, she was still a little worried after hearing about Fran.

As she walked down the hallway, a greeting rang out from the side.
