"I don't know what he's doing now, but he actually wrote a letter and beat me!"

When Charles was visiting the Duke of Wellington, he did not know that his wife was complaining to him at Windsor Castle, not far from him.

At this time, Charlotte was walking alone with an umbrella among the green grass around Windsor Castle. Except for the occasional birdsong, the silence was so great that no one disturbed the lady's thoughts, allowing her to breathe in the fresh air among the green grass.

After learning the news of Charlotte's pregnancy, Charles immediately wrote a long letter, almost flatteringly thanking his wife for her efforts, and repeatedly promising that he would do everything to repay her for her hard work. However, because he continued to be busy with other affairs, he didn't write a word to Charlotte for a long time, so it was very normal for Charlotte to be angry, and women in pregnancy have always been moody, and Charles's bad "antecedents" made Charlotte's doubts reach the extreme, and with Charles's absence from her side at this time, this resentment will naturally accumulate more and more.

"Hmph, men are like this, they don't have any heart at all. No matter how much you love him, he is indifferent, and he doesn't even bother to look at you, knowing that he is busy with those dizzy things all day long! And God knows which woman you're messing with! Charlotte frowned slightly, and thought indignantly, "I must ...... when I turn back Make sure he suffers! ”

Of course, it is debatable how much of this gnashing vow can come true.

In this way, Charlotte walked among the meadows and woods. I hit the time of the morning. However, in this leisurely stroll, she always unconsciously stroked her abdomen. As if he was afraid of disturbing the child.

Since learning that she is pregnant, Charlotte has changed her old personality. The whole person has become much quieter, except for accompanying Her Majesty the Queen to walk outside every day, he basically no longer shows his face outside. Even if she occasionally comes out to breathe, she does not do strenuous exercise, and pays special attention to protecting the child in her womb.

Although even she knew that at this point in time, this was just a psychological effect, and in fact, the fetus in her womb did not have much impact on her actions, but she still subconsciously did so.

Probably the path that every soon-to-be-mother-seeking woman must walk.

Just when Charlotte felt that the walk was almost enough. When she was about to go back to rest, she seemed to hear a call from the nearby woods.

"Charlotte! My good niece! Come here! ”

Well?

This greeting suddenly woke Charlotte from her thoughts.

However, because the call was so bizarre, the next moment, she suspected that she must have had an auditory hallucination.

However, as if knowing that she would still be hesitating, the call continued.

"Charlotte, come here!"

With a sense of hesitation, Charlotte frowned. Then after looking around for a moment, making sure that there was someone not far away, and that she could call for help at any time, she walked over gently.

Soon. A man stepped out of the shadows of a few trees, looking at her solemnly.

"Hey, good boy! I've finally seen you! ”

This is a middle-aged man with a short golden color. There were some wrinkles on his forehead, but he could still see a little bit of his youthful handsomeness. He wears a black coat. Although he is not rich, he is quite decent, and he can see a kind of temperament belonging to an artist from his body.

And in his turquoise eyes. At this time, he was already full of excitement, as if he was about to burst into tears.

The Trevill's signature golden head, and the inexplicably similar silhouette to Charles, as well as the tone and salutation...... Although he hadn't given his name yet, it was a strange feeling that Charlotte had confirmed in an instant who this person really was, even though they hadn't seen each other for nearly twenty years since she was 5 years old.

Edgar de Treville, Charles' father, his cousin and father-in-law, a passerby who had disappeared from their lives for twenty years, only happened to appear once on the eve of their wedding last year.

A prodigal son who killed his wife but chose to flee.

Charlotte's eyes widened slightly, then she reached out and covered her mouth.

In her heart, she had already thought that this person had disappeared forever and did not regret it, but she didn't expect that one day, he would suddenly appear in front of her!

It was such a big accident that her mind went blank for a moment.

Moments later, she was caught in a strange dilemma.

What should I call him? Father? Uncle?

None of that seems right.

"Child, I know this is a surprise to you, and I must not know what to do," the middle-aged man waved his hand with a smile, "It's okay, don't feel embarrassed, call me whatever you want, even if you don't care." ”

Under the comfort of the middle-aged man, Charlotte finally calmed down.

Then, she looked at the other person with a suspicious look, "Are you...... How did you get in? ”

Out of disgust with this father-in-law's past bad deeds, she completely adopted her father-in-law's advice, and even 'you' was useless.

"Oh, don't worry, I didn't commit a crime, I relied on the relationship of the Duchess of Marlborough, and rightly walked in as a painter, and she is now mine...... Well, my good friend. Mr. Edgar de Treville bowed to Charlotte with a smile on his face, then waved his hand, "This lady is the third wife of the present Duke of Marlborough. Hey, I'm afraid you don't know, the duke has long been too old to die, so the young lady usually lives quite lonely, and I, as the painter she hired, now accompany her to relieve her boredom, and this time I have come here with her. ”

Although this cousin is not telling the truth. But Charlotte quickly picked up the clue in his tone.

After he ran to England, he changed his name and surname to become a painter. hooked up with a lady, and then used her relationship to mingle in the social world. Even Windsor Castle was mixed in.

Even at this age, he still looks handsome and straight, and with a slightly vicissitudes of life, he is indeed very rich in the charm unique to middle-aged people...... Maybe after middle age, my husband will be like this, right?

However, his style can only feel a kind of disgust in the eyes of Charlotte, who is already familiar with his various bad deeds.

This man is disgusting! How can you find a fooled woman anywhere!

"Oh, congratulations on your success." With a sense of disgust, Charlotte responded to him very coldly, "Then why did you come to me?" ”

"I was so excited to hear that you were pregnant with a baby, so I couldn't help but want to come and see you. Kid, you won't believe it, will you? How excited I was when I heard the news! I...... I'm going to be a grandfather......" The middle-aged man's tone was full of excitement, even with a hint of trembling, "I can't be there to send blessings in person when you get married." Maybe we won't be able to see each other in the future, so ...... So I'm going to come and see you anyway. ”

However, his confession was full of love. But he didn't get any enthusiastic response from his daughter-in-law.

"If you don't want to annoy us and your grandchildren, you should know. It's best for you to disappear from the world silently...... Why bother us? Charlotte interrupted Edgar with a sneer.

Charlotte's words were so heartless that the middle-aged man lost his words for a while. looked at his daughter-in-law in a daze.

Charlotte, however, was unmoved. He continued to look at him coldly, without showing any respect for him.

"Son, for your father's sake, and for your husband's sake, don't be so ruthless, okay...... Think about it, remember? How good I was to you back then! I didn't object to my father's arrangement at all, I have seen you as my own daughter since I was a child, and when I heard the news that you will marry Charles, I am definitely one of the happiest people! After a moment's pause, Edgar let out a long sigh, "I know that Charles and you are both very angry with me, and I am not in a position to ask you to forgive me, but...... Please don't doubt Daddy's blessing to you, okay? ”

In front of her cousin's confession, Charlotte was silent.

Now that the other party has already said this, it is really difficult for her to say anything more.

She wanted to scold this middle-aged man who didn't know what to do again, but she couldn't say anything.

That's right, although the memory of being a child is relatively vague, she does still have some impressions of this cousin in her mind.

At that time, the handsome and talented cousin did leave an indescribable admiration in her heart at a young age.

It's a pity...... Under such an outstanding appearance, there is such a heart! Charlotte couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

Even if you don't consider the fact that he is his father-in-law, after all, he is also a member of the Trevier family.

"Well, I accept your blessing, sir." Her tone softened a little. "Thank you."

"Great...... Seeing that although Charlotte had some reservations, she still accepted her blessing, the middle-aged man finally breathed a sigh of relief, "Charlotte, I know that you are a good boy!" ”

"I will convey your blessing to Charles at the same time, sir." Charlotte raised her eyebrows, obviously not wanting to say anything more to him, "The two of us wish you good health and all the best." Well, if you have nothing else to say, I'll go back and rest first, goodbye, sir. ”

Because Charles had made it clear that she was going to cut ties with him, Charlotte didn't want to have anything to do with this cousin anymore, and she didn't want to talk to him about anything more.

"Wait! Charlotte! Just as Charlotte was about to turn away, "In addition to blessings today, I have to ask you for a favor, good niece......"

The smile on Charlotte's face suddenly vanished.

It turns out that those blessings just now are not out of pure feelings, but also mixed with flattery before asking for others?

Is...... That's right, you shouldn't have expected anything from this person in the first place.

"You want me to help you?" She glanced at Edgar with some displeasure, "What can I do to help you, sir?" ”

"Do you know anything about Agnes?" At the mention of the name, Edgar first looked around, and after making sure that no one was approaching at this point, he finally seemed to relax a little. "Did Charles mention it to you?"

"Charles mentioned that she seems to be looking for you? For the sake of Charles's mother. Charlotte replied in a low voice.

To her disappointment, there was nothing unusual on Edgar's face.

However, she immediately understood what had come to her.

She ...... She's already in the UK and has found you? ”

"You're right, that's what happened. That's why I need your help. Edgar sighed sullenly, "This silly girl doesn't know at all that it can make everyone feel better!" (To be continued......)
