Chapter 235: Commitment and Discord
"What?!" This sudden news made Charles stop his movements and look at Mary in surprise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"You...... Pregnant? After a moment, he hesitated to ask. When did it happen? ”
"I only found out about it a few days ago......" Mary lowered her gaze slightly, as if she was a little shy, "that ...... Well, I haven't been here for two months, so I asked the doctors to see it, and they told me the good news. ”
Then, suddenly, she hugged Charles again, a smile of genuine joy on her face, "Sir...... We're going to have kids! I haven't said it for the past few days, I just want to surprise you now. ”
"yes, we have kids." Charles repeated it slightly dryly, looking like he hadn't recovered from his surprise.
"What, aren't you happy?" Mary's smile froze, and she looked at Charles with wide eyes.
"Why, where did you think of it, I was just too surprised, and I didn't prepare in advance at all!" Charles certainly knew how to speak.
He quickly cheered up, and then reached out and stroked Mary's cheek, relieving her emotions, "Okay, now I've reacted, I'm happy, Mary ......"
Although there is some surprise now, but if you think about it carefully, it is also expected, Mary has wanted a child for a long time, and she has told Charles many times before, although the two of them have not done a lot of things very often, but it is not surprising that they are pregnant. Rather, she got her wish.
Hey, how did you become a father of several children in the blink of an eye, it's only been a few years? Moreover, it is at this time...... Charles smiled bitterly in his heart.
However, now that the wood is in the boat, and Mary wants the child very much, there is not much to say.
After hearing the news, Charles was not in the mood to come back to Mary again, although it would not make any difference at this point in time.
He just hugged Mary and gently stroked Mary's blonde hair, causing her to murmur comfortably from time to time, almost like he was stroking a cat.
"Sir, do you want a boy or a girl?" They snuggled up like this for a long time before Mary asked comfortably.
Charles suddenly remembered that Charlotte had asked this question after she was pregnant, and it seemed that every woman would ask this question when she was pregnant.
"This ...... I don't have any special requirements, as long as it's our kids, I'll love it. Charles replied immediately.
Truth be told, he has no shortage of children - Charlotte has already brought him two sons, and Lola has also given birth to a daughter, so what difference does it make to him to have another son or daughter?
"I'm the first to ...... Sure enough, I still want a son. At this time, Charles's face was no longer the usual harshness and harshness, only soft longing, and he whispered in Charles's ear, "Let's have a daughter in the future." ”
"Okay, okay, I hope so." Charles nodded repeatedly. "Mary, it's all up to you, just be happy."
"Come on, what nice words do you have at this point? How can it really be all up to me...... You? Mary pinched Charles' face as if teasingly, "You can barely listen to me here, but when I get back to Paris, I don't have to hide behind people......"
Mary's words made Charles not know how to answer at once, and he also knew in his heart that Mary was telling the truth, after all, he was a man with a wife, and it was okay in this remote place, and he could do whatever he wanted, but it would definitely be different when he returned to Paris, and he could only hide Mary's affairs.
"I'm sorry......," he said apologetically.
"Don't say that, sir, if you're really sorry, take me here for a while, and make the show bigger!" Mary couldn't help but laugh, "And ...... I'm afraid I won't be able to run around with you and I won't be able to do much, so you have to be prepared......"
This is a very real problem.
Since Mary is pregnant, although it is still early enough to affect her movements and energy, in the next few months, she will definitely have to rest and not be able to walk around, and her affairs will definitely be affected.
So now it's time to find a replacement for her.
"Have you ever thought about who will replace you?" Charles immediately asked. "It's not easy to find such a candidate, and it's time to find a way."
"I've thought about this question these days, so recently I've sorted out all the things I have on my hands and divided them into two categories according to importance." Charles didn't expect that Mary seemed to be confident, and continued to say when he asked, "Those things that accompany you on inspection, or have to be supervised elsewhere, or some unimportant matters, I will leave it to others; As for your schedule, your paperwork, and the railroad federation affairs, it's just some paperwork anyway, and I can handle it even if I don't have to run around, right? ”
After saying that, Mary looked at Charles with some nervousness and expectation, as if she was a little worried about him.
Obviously, due to her character, Mary would never allow anything important to get out of her control, even if she suffered from being pregnant.
"That's ...... Not so good for the body? Charles understood what she was thinking, and he wasn't against it, but he was just a little worried.
"It's okay, I'm in good health, I can hold on. And these things are very important and confidential, I don't dare to hand them over to ordinary people, don't you worry? Seeing that Charles did not take a negative attitude, Mary was relieved a lot, and suddenly sneered, "Besides, I'm so scared, if I really want to do nothing, I'm afraid someone will climb into your bed while we're away, and then it's going to be troublesome......"
This made Charles a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say, so he continued to stroke Mary's cheek to stop her. "Okay, don't say it, just do it your way, just don't cause any trouble."
Mary's eyes narrowed slightly, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief, "It's rare to see you so gentle...... Sir, we will not be the same in the future. ”
Charles nodded silently. It's really different, before they were just lovers and mistresses, and they abound in the social arena, but now, there will soon be more blood bonds.
Mary had always been faithful to others, at least to herself, and had assisted her cause with the utmost zeal, and she was indeed entitled to such a reward. Maybe she has shortcomings, maybe she's so invested because of her power, but that's a fact that can't be changed.
"I never thought about whether I could be a good mother before, but now I am a little worried, I am almost not afraid of anything when I am alone, because no matter how miserable I am, I will not be able to be locked up by my parents in the convent, and I will only die......" Mary suddenly smiled bitterly, and then said in a strange tone, "But sir, it is different now, I can die, but I never want to see my child fall to the same situation, I think of what calamity may happen to my child, I'm going to be scared too much. You may accuse me of being sentimental, but...... I just can't help but think about something terrible. ”
"With me, what terrible thing can it do?" Charles asked rhetorically. "Don't think about it so much."
"If Mrs. Charlotte had known about these things, she would have been furious." Mary replied at once, "What if she does anything to us?" Is that scary enough? ”
This made Charles speechless for a moment.
If Charlotte knows, with his understanding of Charlotte's character, I'm afraid it will be a bit scary, and maybe even Mary will be worried about her life.
"Look? I said yes, right? Mary saw his hesitation in Charles's expression, and continued to smile bitterly, "Sir, don't worry, even for the sake of our children, I will continue to take care of myself, and I will never let myself be in any danger easily......"
"Don't worry, Mary, I've said it many times, and I can say it again now, I will never leave you." Charles finally couldn't take it anymore and made a promise to Mary, "As long as I'm here, you and our children will be safe." ”
"What if Mrs. Charlotte knew about it and did something?" Mary asked.
"I'm responsible for my own business, just come at me what she wants, and I won't allow her to be angry with you." After a moment of silence, Charles replied, "No matter what, things have come to this point, and I will keep you safe, and I will take care of it myself no matter what." ”
"You're afraid of her." Mary, who had been staring at Charles, said suddenly.
"Why should I be afraid of her?" Charles couldn't help but ask.
"yes, I don't understand why you need to be afraid of her, she can't do anything to you. But you're afraid, what's the ...... can you do," Mary sighed, as if disappointed by Charles's attitude, "it's not that you don't know it, and if she really wants to do something, what's the use of your threatening words?" Well, I pray that everything will be as you hope, and that she will be kept in the dark......"
"I'm not afraid of her!" Charles couldn't help but interrupt her, "I'm just...... I just feel sorry, you think about it, we've known each other for more than 20 years, she's loved me for more than 10 years, and she married me and had two sons for me! Am I not indebted to her? ”
"Isn't it enough that you have given her all the honor, and made her the most trusted person by Her Majesty's side?" Mary asked rhetorically, a little curiously, "As for what you think you owe...... Haven't this been how our ancestors have been for centuries? What do you owe her? No one threatens her position, and she can enjoy her riches...... As long as you don't interfere in your life, can't you respect and understand each other? ”
"These are two different things." Charles frowned. "All in all, don't think about it, Charlotte can't hurt you, I won't let her do it, and as for other things, we don't need to worry so much."
"Alright then, sir, let's not talk about that." Mary closed her eyes again and pressed her face to Charles's. "Let's get some rest, I'm really tired today."
She had always been thoughtful, and at this time she could see that Charles had reached the limit, and she knew that she had reached the limit of what she could try, and if she continued to talk about it, she might really provoke her husband's anger.
Anyway, she's got what she wants, and anyway, as long as there is Charles, she'll be protected enough that no one will be able to threaten her and her children.
But deep down, she was slightly disappointed, she had been ridiculed by Charlotte many times before, and she hated this self-esteemed, arrogant and cruel lady very much, so she wanted to give her some eye medicine, but she also knew that everything was in moderation, and Mr. obviously didn't want to listen to it anymore, and what she said would only have the opposite effect.
"Hey...... I'll talk about something tomorrow, I'll rest for now. These troubles made Charles's originally happy mood fall to the bottom in an instant, and finally sighed, hugged Mary tightly, and fell back to sleep.
