Chapter 105: Honest Meeting
That night, Charles chatted very deeply with President Louis-Bonaparte and other dignitaries and dignitaries, and did not leave the room of the secret meeting until late at night. Since the Marquis of Treville had to continue chatting with his old friends tonight, he found his sister and took her home.
To Charles's surprise, his sister did not show any excitement at such a grand event, but seemed a little gloomy, and remained silent in the carriage all the way, as if she was very unhappy.
Maybe he was tired, he thought to himself, so he didn't bother her anymore, so the two of them returned home in silence.
"Good night, Miss Treville, and good dreams."
Upon returning home, Charles said goodbye to Fran and prepared to go back to his room.
Fran didn't answer, and continued to follow him up the stairs in the middle of the hall.
After going up to the second floor, Charles finally realized that something was not right, because the two bedrooms were on opposite sides, and Fran was still following him.
He couldn't help but stop.
"What's wrong? Fran? ”
Fran still didn't answer.
Is there anything we need to talk about in life?
"Oh, okay, okay," Charles sighed, and opened the door to his bedroom. "Come with me, let's talk ......"
Then, he walked in with his sister. Then he sat down at his table and poured himself a glass of water to relieve his fatigue. Then he looked at his sister gently. "Are you bothered by anything else? Just tell me. ”
Fran just stood quietly by her desk, bowing her head in silence. Under the moonlight, the blonde girl in a white dress is delicate and lovely. It's just that his face is gloomy and frightening.
Although he didn't meet her gaze directly, Charles felt a chill inexplicably, as if something unknown was going to happen next. He barely held his composure, then let out a dry laugh.
"If you're tired, go get some rest, right? I want to take a break, too. ”
Hearing this, Fran suddenly looked up at Charles, in this line of sight. Full of mixed emotions, only sorrow and anger. There is also some heartache. Fran, who has been well-behaved and obedient in front of Charles lately, seems to have returned to the rebellious way of the past.
Charles was stunned for a moment when she looked at her like this.
"Do you want to marry Charlotte?" Fran looked straight at him and asked word by word.
Oops.
Chardon's heart trembled. No wonder she was so angry.
In an instant. Charles's heart sank to the bottom.
However, when he thought about it, he was relieved, anyway, when the time comes, there will always be such a day.
"Yes, it's true." After a long pause, Charles nodded. Now, he doesn't plan to tell any more lies to deceive. After all, it was his own decision. "I did plan to marry her, and I was going to tell you about it in a while. But I didn't expect you to know the Tao now...... Who told you that? ”
Upon hearing Charles's answer, Fran's face became even more gloomy.
"It doesn't matter who told me, what matters is that you lied to me!" Her tone was very annoyed, and her face flushed with excitement, "You lied to me! You told me...... said that I would never be with her, but the result was ...... Outcome...... But you broke your promise! ”
His sister's sharp accusations made Charles feel a little embarrassed, in a sense, he had indeed deceived Fran. However, this is not intentional, and it can only be said that the development of the situation has changed too much.
While he was still thinking about how to explain it to Fran, Fran continued, and there were even tears in her eyes.
"Is that how you've been deceiving me? I always thought I could trust you without reservation...... However, the results ...... You're such a person! ”
The more she spoke, the more anxious she became, and the tears rolled down her cheeks, "Don't you love me?" Have you been lying to me all along? ”
Seeing his sister like this, Charles's heart couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"Don't be like this, you are my sister, how can I not love it." His voice became softer, "Isn't it possible that you can't see what I've been doing to you all along?" I'm going to be sad then. It's just one thing I'm hiding from you, and isn't that my private business? Even if you marry someone else, I will love you the same, is it any difference? ”
Before this speech, Fran was a little speechless. Indeed, she will not and will never deny her brother's love for her over the years. Moreover, it really doesn't make much sense for my sister to interfere in my brother's marriage.
"But you don't like Charlotte, do you? She doesn't deserve you! After hesitating for a moment, Fran changed the way of persuasion, "Even if you want to get married, there are so many suitable partners, you can slowly find them again!" Why go to such people? ”
Then she taunted Charlotte as if she didn't think of her as a cousin at all.
"She's arrogant and conceited, and she doesn't like to look down on people, and her mind is all stuck in that old era, and she can't forget the old time all day long, don't you see it very clearly? In addition to being good-looking, what other advantages does she have? Aren't there good-looking people everywhere, so why do you have to go to her? This kind of person, how can she be worthy of you? Brother, don't be stupid, you will never be happy with her......"
If Charlotte herself were here, I'm afraid she would be mad with anger, Charles thought with a wry smile.
"She's not as bad as you say." He defended Charlotte.
"Isn't that so?" Fran asked sharply, no longer with her usual serenity. "Am I saying something wrong? Brother, don't lie to yourself, she's that kind of person, and you don't love her......"
"Alright. Don't talk about her like that anymore, no matter how you say she is your sister. Charles sighed and replied in a low voice. Fran. I repeat, I've already decided and won't change it anymore......"
Yes, he doesn't have that kind of crush on Charlotte, but that doesn't mean he doesn't have feelings for Charlotte. Charlotte did have such and such shortcomings, but it was by no means as useless as Fran said.
Besides, it's good-looking. Isn't that enough?
Hearing Charles' resolute answer, Fran froze instantly.
"Won't it change anymore?" It was a long time before she spoke again. Her lips twitched slightly. Apparently the mood was already extremely excited, "Do you have to marry her?" ”
"Definitely." Although Charles was a little unbearable for his sister, he replied resolutely, "I have already told her father and grandfather. They all agreed to my proposal. Can I still regret it at this time? No, it won't work. Now all this can no longer be changed unless God changes it. ”
"Can't change it......" Fran muttered as tears rolled back from her eyes. At this moment, she didn't know what to say, as if someone had taken a piece of her heart away, and it hurt so much. "You're going to throw me away, you're never going to love me again!"
"How so?" Charles smiled bitterly. "Married or unmarried, you are my sister. How could I not love you? You don't have to think so much, live your life well, now that our family has money, you can spend it as much as you like, play how you like, how good it is......"
However, having said that, he didn't understand Fran's fear - in this society, it is indeed very common for sisters-in-law to bully sisters-in-law, and it is normal for Charlotte and Fran to have such a bad relationship. This can only be resolved slowly later, and no matter how much Charlotte doesn't like Fran, she won't do it right under her nose.
"Silly boy, what are you afraid of? I'm the family! He couldn't help laughing, reached out and touched his sister's hair, "With me, she will never do this, I will never let her bully your ......"
Fran suddenly shook off his hand with a heavy force, and the force was amazing. Then, she stared at Charles viciously, her eyes filled with tears, "What do you know?" Where do you know the truth! How can you understand that!? I hate you! ”
Then she turned abruptly, and then slammed the door shut, with a loud "bang" that Charles couldn't help but shudder.
This stupid boy.
He froze for a moment, then sighed and prepared for bed.
There was some resistance now, but time would eventually make her accept these realities, he thought to himself.
……………………
As soon as Fran ran back to her bedroom, she covered herself and cried, she was too sad to accept the fact that her beloved brother was about to be transferred to someone else. The uncontrollable tears made the quilt wet for a long time.
For what, for what will be like this! The girl kept asking herself in her heart.
Do you really have to accept the reality that your brother was taken away by others?
“………… In this society, the most important thing is struggle, struggle! Fighting with seniors, fighting with peers, fighting with juniors, trying their best to kick them off the stage one by one, only such a person can become extremely powerful............"
"As long as a person is rich and powerful, then it is reasonable for him to do any evil deeds, isn't this the case in this society and this world?"
What Lola said to her tonight was like a nightmare, haunting her ears.
I don't know how long it was, but gradually, the girl stopped crying and raised her head again.
It's just that there is no longer that kind of anger on her face, and the calm that makes people palpitate, the blue eyes seem to be covered with a layer of gray mist at this time, and surprisingly, her brain is running faster than usual at this time, and it is more sober.
"Unless God Alters All This......"
She remembered her brother's words again.
Can God solve it? Then let it take care of it.
If God can't take up its obligations, then settle it in God's place! (To be continued......)
