Chapter Seventy-Nine: Teaching by Word and Deed

As soon as she heard Charlotte say this, Charles felt very bad in her heart, and she could no longer pretend not to see it, so she quickly raised her head to explain.

However, contrary to Charles's expectations, Fran did not appear to be shocked or annoyed, but rather unusually calm. This calmness looks more like the hollowness of repeated blows, as if hope has been lost in anything.

"Is it true?" After a long silence, Fran asked her brother in a low voice.

"Fran, well, it's true. I think you can understand that, right? I can't stay here even if I'm married. Seeing his sister like this, Charles felt a little uneasy, "However, you don't have to worry, it doesn't mean anything, I will come to see you often in the future." Look, wouldn't it be nice to give you such a beautiful house for nothing? ”

"Yes, yes, we will come to see you often in the future." Charlotte smiled and agreed, but obviously didn't seem sincere, "I guess you're going to have a great time here...... After all, such a generous brother is hard to find. ”

"Generosity......" Fran bowed her head, muttering to herself.

"Don't be afraid, Fran," although she knew that Charlotte's words would definitely make her even more upset, but Charles had no choice but to continue to appease, "I won't be here then, but if anything happens, I will do my best to help you, and it will not make any difference." ”

After hearing Charles's words, Fran understood. This decision of my brother cannot be changed.

She bit her lip tightly, as if she wanted to be strong, but a tear still slipped from the corner of her eye uncontrollably.

"You're going to help me, I know, you're going to help me. But, ......" she slowly stood up with tears in her eyes, and then she suddenly raised her voice. It almost roared out loud. "You're no longer with me!"

Then, with no regard for manners, she ran away from the table.

As she passed by Charles, Charles saw what appeared to be a tear dripping from her face to the ground. He tried to stand up and stop him, but he stopped. Because he himself knows it. Sometimes it's just that.

After Fran ran away. Charles gave Charlotte a displeased look. "You don't have to irritate her so much."

"Am I stimulated something? Just tell her what we decided......" Charlotte replied with a sense of authority, "Is it my own decision?" ”

"Okay, okay. I know that this is our joint decision. Charles sighed, "But, Charlotte, promise me, be kind to her in the future, she's pathetic enough." ”

"I will." Charlotte replied indifferently, "As long as she doesn't come to disturb our lives." ”

……………………

The next morning, Charles woke up early.

After a hurried wash, he walked out of the room, and soon found Agnes in the living room.

"Oh, you're early." He smiled and said hello.

"I don't want to bother you any more." Agnes replied coldly.

Then, she held out her hand, "Take it." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." Charles nodded in agreement, then turned and walked to the storage room, took out the key and opened the door.

After a while, he walked back into the living room, but this time with one more thing in his hand.

This is the umbrella that Agnes left here.

"Take it." Charles smiled at her with relief and apologies. "Thank you for keeping your promise."

"I told you, I'm not like you." Still calm, Agnes took the umbrella gently.

Then, as if inspecting her most beloved treasure, she looked at the umbrella carefully.

After half a month in the storeroom, some dust accumulated on the umbrella surface, and the silk lace became gray, and it was no longer as glamorous as before. Agnes looked at it heartbrokenly, then reached out and grabbed the handle.

She gently pulled the sword out of her umbrella, and then calmly looked at the cold light that was still cold.

"Long time no see, baby." After looking at it for a long time, she put her sword back away, then looked at Charles, "Okay, you're still a little human this time. ”

"Maybe you think too highly of me." Charles shrugged, "I just hate that father too." ”

"Hmph, really." Agnes sneered, then shook her head, "Goodbye, then, Charles." ”

"Agnes, wait!" Just as she was about to turn away, Charles stopped her.

"What's the matter?"

"I'll ask you one last time, is it okay to give up on this?" Charles looked at Agnes earnestly.

"Nope." Agnes' answer was categorical.

Although she has suffered a series of setbacks recently, her determination to achieve everything has not been reduced by half a point.

"I'm not for him, he's okay, I'm for you!" Charles raised his voice, "I would like to ask you to think about it, is it really worth it to pay so much for that kind of person?" You've wasted ten years of your youth, ten years! How many meaningful things could you have done in the past 10 years? How many things have you given up that would have been precious? You're almost thirty now, how much more time are you going to waste on this? You left today, and God knows how much time you're going to spend looking for him, don't you...... Do you really have no other plans? How easy can you live a more interesting life, or even get married? ”

"Makes sense. But is it up to you to say that? Agnes replied with a mocking smile, "Don't forget, whose fault is it that I need to continue to waste so much time?" ”

Charles was momentarily speechless.

"Okay, you don't have to persuade me now, I won't change my mind again." Perhaps it was the concern of the current Charles, and Agnes's tone softened a lot, "This is the life I have chosen, and it makes sense to me, isn't that enough?" ”

Then, she laughed self-deprecatingly, "As for getting married...... Anyway, there are so many old girls in this world, wouldn't it be good for me to save a dowry for my family? ”

Seeing the other party's answer, Charles could only sigh in his heart. He knew that what Agnes had made up his mind about, there was still no way for him to change it.

"Well, if you insist on it, I won't say anything more."

Then he looked up at Agnes with that sincere look, "I have only one request for you—if you come back one day, by all means...... Don't dislike me, you can come to me for anything, and I'll do my best to help you. I sincerely hope that ...... I hope you can continue to live happily. ”

He just looked at Agnes, trying to make himself look more genuine, though he knew he didn't have much credibility in front of her.

"Hahahaha, really, suddenly pretending to be a good person at this time!" After staring at each other for a while, Agnes suddenly laughed, and then tugged at Charles's bow tie, "Also, what kind of hero did you do in front of your aunt, didn't you just get beaten?" ”

A burst of embarrassment made Charles blush slightly, "That's what I let you do!" Aren't you tied up by me? ”

"That's your sneak attack too!" Hearing this, Agnes seemed to be a little angry, and pulled Charles's bow tie even harder, "Boy, listen, if you dare to do this next time, I promise to kill you!" ”

"Good! Next time I will definitely beat you with dignity, you wait for me! Charles shouted, "Don't run away! ”

"I'll wait for that day." Agnes replied with a sneer. "Just looking at you like this, I'm afraid it's far away."

"Then we'll agree, we'll fight again." Charles said calmly.

"Yes."

After nodding in agreement, the two of them said no more and walked out the door together.

At the door, Charles watched Agnes walk into the carriage waiting outside, and then, with a gentle wave of his hand, he watched the carriage leave.

"Ah......" He breathed a sigh of relief only after the shadow of the carriage disappeared from the pavement, and walked back into the mansion.

He had just returned to the living room when he ran into his sister. Looks like I'm up for breakfast.

"Good morning, Fran...... Well? What's wrong with you, are you sick? ”

No wonder he was so surprised, Fran's face was now horribly pale, as if he hadn't slept all night last night, his eyes had become foggy, and even his head seemed to have lost its luster.

"Has she already left?" Fran avoided Charles' question and instead asked Agnes.

"Uh, yes, just left."

Being looked at by those eyes that didn't seem to have any emotion, Charles's heart was also a little worried.

The corners of Fran's mouth moved slightly, as if to make up a smile.

"I've finally got into trouble...... I just don't know if we should wish her a qiēshun lì or not a smooth lì......"

"I think we'd better leave nothing at it and forget about it." Charles replied helplessly.

"Forget jì ......? No, I won't forget it, so many things, how can I forget it......" Fran lowered his head, as if caught in a memory, "Sir, you ...... that day It was really powerful that day, and he made a decision so quickly. ”

"What's so great about this? It's just a last resort. Charles smiled wryly, "That's not a good thing. ”

"So, for the sake of a good goal, even if it is a bad thing, it is allowed, right?" Fran asked calmly.

"Yes, it seems to me so." Charles nodded. "Of course, you don't have to do it, just get my hands dirty."

On Fran's face, there was only an indistinct smile left. (To be continued!)
