Chapter 30: A Turning Point

"Don't worry about her, she's not a person who doesn't want to share, as I said, as long as you love her the most, then it doesn't matter if you share some with others......"

When Mary sticks to Charles's side and asks in a blunt tone to share the same 'gift' as Lola, perhaps because of the distance, her words sound a different kind of emotion, and her eardrums make her heart flutter slightly. Even between the lips and tongue www.biquge.info there seems to be the fragrance of the kiss between the two people just now.

Is this true, or is it a lie? Is Fran really willing to tolerate her staying by my side all the time?

These two friends hurt each other but also respect each other, and they can go to the same time, but can they really share it to such an extent?

Maybe it's true, otherwise, why did she know that there was a personal affair between the two people, but she was still so close to Mary.

In this case, even if it is really as Mary wants, it is not considered a betrayal......

As soon as such a thought came to his mind, Charles felt that his whole consciousness was even more blurred, and he hugged each other, and the two of them were so intimate and tired of being together.

But at this time, the sound of the waves from the window and the chatter and laughter of the merchants downstairs were once again endless, which also made him keep the last bit of sanity.

I complained about my grievances, how could I complain and complain and lie down with people again?

"Mary, alright, alright, don't do that......" He hurriedly reached out to help Mary's waist, and then let her away from him a little. That's all for today, we can't show anyone a joke! ”

"You...... Don't you want to listen to me? After being pushed away, Mary was visibly disappointed, and looked at Charles with tears in her eyes. Do you just ignore me? ”

"No, that's not what I meantβ€”of course I didn't! I value you very much, and you hope that you will continue to be our friend in the future......" Charles quickly shook his head, "I'm just saying that we can't do something that isn't quite appropriate in this place today...... Let's go back to the previous moment, otherwise we will really find something below, and you don't want some gossip everywhere in a few days, right? ”

"You...... Where did you think of it! I didn't say what I was doing here! Mary's face flushed slightly, and she took his hand tightly, "I'm just going to tell you what I'm thinking...... Well, now please tell me, don't you really take me seriously? Or are you not going to ignore me? ”

"I don't have this plan, you should be relieved now, right?" Seeing her pitiful look, Charles couldn't help but stroke the hair on the back of her head to soothe her emotions, "Okay, okay, let's just act like we didn't say anything today, right?" ”

"No, I can't!" Mary, however, looked at Charles stubbornly, "I...... I can't stand this awkward state of ambiguity between anxiety and shame, tell me, either let me see hope or let me see despair, please! ”

On the one hand, she is indeed anxious, for fear of being left behind by others and forgotten; But on the other hand, she's going to take the opportunity to get things done – she knows her employer isn't always so talkative.

Charles was originally a little embarrassed, but under Mary's gaze, he finally lowered his gaze, "Well, I promise you, I will never leave you." ”

"You're going to give me my baby too!" Mary still didn't let go of him, but still insisted on her request, "Since Lola can have it, I have it too!" ”

"This ...... It's not something I can just say......" Charles replied awkwardly.

Although this answer was a bit ridiculous, Mary understood the implication.

"Don't worry, I'm healthy, it's definitely not a problem!" It was a strange situation, but she immediately replied, "I can definitely have the smartest kid, even smarter than you!" ”

Then, she herself felt that something was wrong with saying this, and she burst out laughing, and even Charles couldn't help but laugh.

"So, when are you going to give me a gift?" After laughing for a moment, Mary asked again. "It's not okay to drag it out day by day."

"Hmm......" Charles didn't know how to answer, but replied vaguely.

"Or tonight?" Mary didn't give him any room to spare, and asked directly.

"Tonight?" Charles was startled and quickly shook his head, "I'm afraid not...... I'm going to talk to someone sent by the British Prime Minister tonight. ”

"Then tomorrow night, you don't have anything to do tomorrow night, right?" Mary looked at him with a look that stopped playing tricks with me, "I arranged your trip, if you have any unexpected matters, you can tell me now, and I will rearrange it?" ”

Under her step-by-step pressure, Charles was a little helpless. "Well, if nothing else."

"Then I'll look forward to tomorrow quietly......" Mary smiled and closed her eyes slightly.

"You may not be able to achieve your goal in one day, this kind of thing has to be lucky." Charles couldn't help but admonish her.

"If you don't work for one day, you can do it for two days, as long as you keep your promise, of course we can achieve our goal!" Mary blushed but said without hesitation, "There's always a chance, isn't it?" ”

"Poofha!" Charles finally couldn't help it and laughed. "Then let's try our luck......"

He is running errands in the port of Calais for a while, and the itinerary has been arranged for a few days, which can be used to pass the time for "collision luck".

After receiving Charles' promise, Mary collapsed on top of Charles with a blushing face as if she had used all her courage.

"You're such a cat, I'll never guess what you're thinking." Charles laughed as she continued to stroke her silky hair as if she were actually stroking a cat.

"But isn't that what you like?" Mary narrowed her eyes slightly, muttering as if complaining. "If I don't lose my temper with you, then I'll be forgotten by you!"

"But you can't lose your temper all the time......" Charles sighed.

"Wouldn't it be nice to lose your temper once in a while? Even cats sometimes bite, don't they? Mary, as she had done before, put her hand to her cheek and made a grimace that looked like she was disgusting, "Meow! ”

After the two of them laughed for a while, the tension between them finally relaxed, and Charles secretly breathed a sigh of relief and helped Mary back to her seat.

After such a fuss, the two of them didn't know how to start the conversation again for a while, and the awkward silence lasted for a while.

"Shall we go to dinner? I'm afraid those people have been waiting for me for a long time. Charles looked at her tentatively. I think they'll prepare a nice lunch for us. ”

"Well, sir......" Mary nodded slightly, as if she was embarrassed by the sudden outburst, "let's go." ”

Charles went up to her with great gratitude, and then stretched out his hand and took her hand, and the two of them walked out together.

In the parlor on the first floor, all the merchants who had been summoned by Charles had gathered here to talk and laugh and eat lunch, and to dilute the blow of the day with the seafood of Calais, and when His Excellency came out of the stairs with his secretary by the hand, all of them respectfully stopped their meal, looked at His Excellency, and waited for his instructions.

However, it was evident that His Excellency did not wish to disturb their meal, or that he could not bear to be hungry, so he did not go into a long speech, but left the villa with a few casual words of greeting, and went to dine at another prestigious restaurant in the city, which was spent at public expense, and of course he had to set the highest standards for his official outings.

The merchants would also stay here for a few days until a preliminary constitution had been drawn up for the Charles' confederation and their own board of supervisors had been elected, but Charles had no interest in getting involved, and some of his subordinates had to do the tedious chores of the matter, and he only had to attend the farewell party for the merchants in a few days.

Under the gaze of the crowd, Charles led Mary out of the villa, and as she passed by Kong Ze's side, Mary smiled imperceptibly at him, both showing off and demonstrating. In this way, she told Kong Ze that she was the closest assistant to His Excellency the Minister.

Kong Ze understood what she meant, and he also knew that because he had been quite disrespectful to her and Miss Trevill when he was in England before, he had a bad impression in their hearts, but he was not afraid, and just shrugged his shoulders slightly at each other.

Thanks to Charles's care, he now has a large fortune and a status where he can live a decent life in the future, and he also knows that he only needs to be loyal to His Excellency, and he will always have the opportunity to be reused.

After His Excellency the Minister left, lunch resumed, and everyone began to talk to each other again. Everyone present could see that His Excellency and his beautiful secretary were acting in a rather intimate manner, but no one felt anything wrong with this, and at most they laughed and talked a few words.

As businessmen, they are no longer surprised by the debauchery of politicians, and even they themselves are promiscuous, and this kind of scene is not worth talking about. After all, who of the empire's magnates doesn't play like this? Even His Majesty the Emperor himself, isn't he also romantic? It would not be surprising that His Excellency did something in private.

Of course, Charles had no idea what they were thinking, but Charles had just taken Mary to lunch, to enjoy the view of Calais by the sea, and to admire the looming silhouette of the island nation across the narrow Strait of Dover.

That night, an uninvited guest came to the hotel where he was staying.

"Mr. Treville, it's a real pleasure to see you again!" James Summer, the Foreign Office official who was sent to Charles during his visit to the UK, greeted him warmly. (To be continued.) )
