Chapter 162: Les Misérables (Continued)

By the time Charles returned home, it was already late at night, and the injury on his shoulder had caused a commotion in his house that he had quickly quelled, and then instructed his grandfather's personal servant to keep it a secret so that the old man would not be frightened.

After the doctor examined and confirmed that the injury was not serious, he did not have much rest, and the next morning Charles immediately ran to the Duke's palace to visit.

However, as he expected, this time Charlotte did not respond to his request.

Undeterred, he went straight to see her father, the Younger Duke of Treville.

"Charles, what's going on?" In the study, as soon as he saw Charles, the little Duke of Trevill looked at Charles with doubts, "Charlotte today is very different from usual, since returning home, she has been huddled in the room and has not come out, and I heard that she is crying a lot...... Why, did you quarrel? ”

"Almost......" Charles hesitated, then nodded.

"Hey, you young people, you know all day long to quarrel over trivial things, why bother?" Uncle Cousin shook his head and smiled disappreciatively, "Charles, it's not that I said you, it's not that you don't know Charlotte's temper, you just follow her wishes in whatever she wants, if you really can't do it, why do you have to have a hard top with her?" In the end, it's not that you suffer if you make a big fuss......"

At this moment, his tone was still quite relaxed, thinking that his daughter was just angry about a trivial matter - Charlotte went out last night, he thought he was going to play with Charles, and then the little couple made some awkward trouble in the middle of the way. I didn't expect that the actual situation would be a hundred times worse than this.

"No, I wouldn't have come to you if it was just a general quarrel......" Charles was silent for a moment. Sighed, "Sir." I'm here to ask for your help. ”

"What?" Seeing that Xia Er's attitude was so rare and strict, the middle-aged man's expression slowly became solemn, "Is something big happening?" ”

"Listen to me...... Don't interrupt me. ”

Then, Charles 1510 told what had happened to him the previous night.

"All in all, I am in great difficulty now, and I desperately need your help, sir." Finally, he spread his hands and said his final epilogue. "In any case, I don't plan to give up this marriage, please help me persuade Charlotte to change her mind."

The little Duke of Treville listened silently to Charles's narration, first amazed, then horrified. At last...... It turned into a sigh.

After staring at Charles for a long time, his cousin let out a long sigh and finally slapped the table heavily.

"Ahh Shire. What a stupid thing you've done! ”

"I know." Charles nodded. "So I just wanted to make up for that mistake."

"You...... You ......" In the study, Charlotte's father looked at Charles with a dull expression, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally sighed again. "Hey. How can you be so careless! ”

He wasn't particularly angry, but he was criticizing Charles for not being cautious enough to hide it from his fiancée.

This attitude is not particularly strange.

That's right. In the eyes of an orthodox aristocrat like Little Trevier, Charles' sin was not to secretly hide from his fiancée, or even his wife, to have fun outside. But he was not cautious enough, and he didn't hide it from his wife...... So much so that today's big trouble has occurred.

Ultimately. He's not such a person himself? Even now, he often keeps a lover outside.

In the sigh of the future father-in-law, Charles just lowered his head and did not speak, and the two of them could only be relatively silent.

After several minutes of silence, the little Duke of Trevil finally spoke. "Now, there is no need for you to hide it anymore, sue me, you ...... What the hell do you think of Charlotte? Do you want to marry her just for the sake of obligation? ”

"No, it's not...... It's not that there are any utilitarian considerations, but I really want to marry her. Charles immediately shook his head.

"That's good, you bastard still have a little conscience!" Uncle Tang glanced at Charles, "So, you don't accept the cancellation of the marriage either?" ”

"Marriages can't be canceled, they can't be canceled." Charles replied categorically, "And it must be held on the scheduled date, and there must be no delay." ”

"Well, that's all there is to it now." The middle-aged man nodded slightly.

He really has no other choice, so far, no matter how much he doted on Charlotte before, but judging from the position of the Duke of Trevill Jr., Charlotte can't be capricious now.

Leaving aside the fact that he admired the cousin very much, it was impossible for him to agree with Charlotte's angry decision, even from the point of view of pure profit.

For one thing, news of his daughter's marriage to Charles had spread throughout the social world, and it would now be a huge blow to the prestige of the Treville family, both long and young, if the marriage was suddenly broken, and it would obviously be a laughing stock for a long time.

Second, now that Charles and his grandfather have climbed to a high position and have great influence, the Duke's family, which is already declining, cannot afford to fight Charles, especially when Charles has made it clear that he will never agree to break the marriage contract.

Therefore, he can only continue with the original arrangement and let Charles and Charlotte get married on schedule.

"Charlotte won't see me now, and I guess it would be counterproductive if I forced my way over to her, so ...... Could you please help me with my project lately? Charles made his request.

"Is there any other way?" The middle-aged man replied with a wry smile.

Then, he stood up, walked over to Charles, and patted him heavily on the shoulder. "Be cautious in the future, young man!"

Charles nodded silently.

"Well, now that I know what happened, I'll find a way to get Charlotte to change her mind." As if thinking of something, Uncle Cousin immediately admonished Charles. "This matter must not be revealed to my father, I dare not guarantee how my father will react after hearing this kind of news!"

"Of course I won't reveal the past." Charles replied immediately, and then glanced at his cousin with some hesitation. "But...... If...... What if Charlotte is adamant that she won't change her mind? ”

"What else can I do?!" The father glanced at Charles with resentment. "At that time, even if I was holding it, I had to finish the wedding! Did you give me another choice? ”

It's good that you know.

Charles breathed a sigh of relief in his heart as he bowed to his uncle. "Thank you. Sir, I will do my best to repay your help. ”

……………………………………

The sky was overcast, thick clouds obscured the sun, and it was only evening when the streets were lit up.

Under the pillars of the theatre, the costumed Fran ignored the gazes cast at her from time to time, and paced lightly with an uneasy frown, now in such a state of confusion that she was almost breathless from the heavy clouds.

"Miss Tremier. Are you okay? She didn't know how long she had been waiting, but she finally heard a call from behind.

Fran frowned, then turned sharply.

"What have you done!" She shouted fiercely.

This tone full of annoyance and anxiety, combined with the girl's rare horizontal eyebrows and angry expression, made Ezreal Walter, who was originally smiling, freeze suddenly.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?! What did you do last night? My brother actually came back with an injury! Fran still growled, "That bastard...... Actually, I actually got a gun...... She's so good! ”

She's almost gone crazy since she learned last night that her brother was injured because of Charlotte.

Her original plan was just to let Charlotte cancel her marriage plan because of her brother's betrayal, but she didn't expect Charlotte to do such a bastard thing in anger. She almost threatened her brother's life, and because of this, she is now full of resentment.

Truth be told, she is also very responsible for this unexpected development. But she completely ignored this, and only remembered that her brother was injured because of these two people.

"I'm sorry, I didn't think of that at the time. Otherwise I'll stop her. Seeing Fran so angry, Ezreal panicked as well. At the time, I thought she just wanted to reprimand that person to her face, but I didn't expect it...... She brought a gun with her ...... silently."

"That's not a reason at all! The truth is, you almost put my brother's life in danger! Fran snapped him off. Luckily nothing happened to my brother, otherwise I would never have forgiven you! ”

Ezreal was stunned, the cold, even a somewhat hideous expression he had never seen in Fran before.

"You...... Are you okay? He asked cautiously.

Looking at the other party's stunned appearance, Fran realized that she had completely lost her temper.

No, this can't be done, this person still needs it, she told herself in her heart.

Then, her face softened again, even a little sad.

"Please forgive my rudeness, sir...... But, do you know how worried I am? I was scared to death when I saw my brother come back injured, god ......."

Fran's sad face finally calmed Ezreal's senses, and this was what he was familiar with.

"It's me who should apologize, it's all because I'm not optimistic, but ...... You don't have to be too sad, don't you deserve to be punished a little bit for treating you like that? ”

"No, no matter what he does to me, no matter what, he's still my brother!" Fran shook her head, tears suddenly flashing in her eyes, "I can't bear him being hurt because of me, or I'll be guilty for the rest of my life." I beg you, sir, don't let this happen again...... Otherwise, otherwise...... I would rather refuse your noble help and accept the mercy of fate! ”

Some of these tears may indeed be out of their hearts.

Looking at Fran's confession, Ezreal Walter was speechless.

What a kind child...... Why did fate play such a trick on her?

"Okay, I see, you're such a good boy." Finally, he sighed.

"Thank you!" Fran saluted him respectfully, and a slight smile appeared on her face again.

Charlotte, Ezreal Walter, you two did a great job! I can't spare you! The girl thought fiercely in her heart.

"Change your attitude toward Miss Charlotte a little bit." Ezreal continued, "To be honest, although her outburst was a little intense, it was excusable...... After all, he suffered such a shameful betrayal. ”

Fran just lowered her gaze and turned a deaf ear.

"It's really strange to say, if you don't say it, I really didn't expect a girl with glasses and such an intellectual thing to do such a thing...... It's going to oppress you to this point...... At that time, I was ready to ......"

"What!" Fran suddenly screamed, "What did you just say? Spectacles? ”

"Yes, isn't the one who accompanies him, who is willing to be an indishonorable lover, and who oppresses you, who wears glasses?" Ezreal asked rhetorically, somewhat curiously.

Fran's eyes were clouded with a fog.

Mary didn't wear glasses, it was someone else......

Her hand clenched the fan so tightly that her finger bones crackled a little.

"No wonder she's so confident, there is still a ......," she whispered to herself.

At this moment, she only felt that a dark abyss that could devour a qiē suddenly appeared in front of her.

It turns out that my friends are all like this...... That's how you love me...... It's good, it's good......

She only felt dizzy, but a pride from the bottom of her heart forced her to continue standing.

"What's wrong with you?" Ezreal was a little strange about Fran's appearance.

There was silence again.

"Nothing." After a long time, Fran looked up and looked at Ezreal with a smile on her face, "I just thought, it's going to snow......" (to be continued...... R1292
