Chapter Ninety-Six: The Aftermath
I don't know when, Charles finally woke up from his tired sleep.
The daylight outside the window was already shining brightly, allowing him to see clearly the "great feats" he had accomplished yesterday in all the details.
Between the sheets, traces of previous pleasure abounded, the quilt was haphazardly rolled aside, and the sheets were crumpled and stained with blood. His clothes were disheveled all over the floor, and the woman with whom he had spent the night was sleeping in a deep bed, and her body was covered with the marks of the previous night.
After less than a second of confusion, Charles quickly understood what had been born.
A headache that was more severe than after a hangover made his brain go a little blank in an instant.
I did such a ridiculous thing......
After a moment's blankness, he slowly regained consciousness. Then, his gaze returned to Mary lying on the bed.
Mary was still asleep, breathing very smoothly, and her fair and tall breasts were slightly heaving from it.
However, this originally seductive picture could no longer evoke much in the eyes of Charles, who had been satisfied after a night of fun last night.
He had now completely remembered what had happened last night.
Just after she confessed to herself, she pushed her down.
Whether it was because of the effect of alcohol, or because I had not been a guide during this time, I was a little hungry and thirsty, in short, after being stimulated and tempted, I did this ridiculous thing.
What should I do?
This question crossed his mind.
It was too late, but he finally remembered. I am a man with a fiancée - and this incident is a clear and unmistakable betrayal. He secretly betrayed Charlotte one more time. And she is still waiting to marry herself.
He couldn't imagine what Charlotte would have done if she had found out about it, so he had no choice but to find a way to keep it a secret, just like with Matilda.
However, although they are also betrayals, these two things are different after all.
For Matilda, he can also explain it with love, but for Mary?
He didn't love each other, even though he had a good time last night...... That's right, it's just a kind of sensual venting, and it doesn't bring any love cover. It was an act of betrayal without excuses, purely for the sake of it.
That's the kind of person I am...... He couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
In addition to being depressed, he couldn't help but feel some dissatisfaction with himself.
This dissatisfaction. It's not just because of my ridiculous behavior last night, but because of my dissatisfaction with my self-control.
In any case, allowing oneself to be tempted is a sign of weak-willedness. On weekdays, he prides himself on acting calmly, but in the end, he can't hold it when he is tempted, which really makes him very dissatisfied with his appearance.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Fortunately, the person who seduced himself this time can be controlled, otherwise it would have been terrible.
Forget it, since it's already been done, there's no point in dwelling on it.
It's not too early. There are still a lot of business that he needs to go back to deal with, and there is no time to feel anything here.
Thinking of this, he slowly got up from the bed, ready to go and pack his clothes.
However. Although he deliberately slowed down, the slight shaking still woke Mary.
Her eyes slowly opened, and then gradually focused on Charles, who was already standing beside the bed.
"Sir......" a forced smile appeared on her face. It still doesn't look good, but at least it should be in a good mood.
This voice is so delicate and tactful. Charles's heart couldn't help but flutter again.
"Oh, good morning. Mary. With embarrassment not knowing what to say, Charles reluctantly said hello.
Perhaps seeing Charles' confusion, Mary's smile grew even thicker. "Well, good morning. You...... Are you going to work in the ministry? ”
"Well, yes." Charles nodded, "I still have a lot of things to do, so I'm sorry, I'll have to get out of the way first......"
After a pause, he looked at Mary apologetically, "...... It doesn't look like you're in great shape, so go ahead and take a break here, right? I'll go and explain it, you can wait until the afternoon before you leave, huh...... Why don't I call someone to pick you up in the afternoon? ”
"Thank you, sir,......" Mary's face still maintained that delicate and contented smile, "but it doesn't matter, I'll rest a little longer and leave by myself in the afternoon." ”
"Really out of the way?" Charles hesitated.
"It's really fine, thank you for your concern...... You go about your business first, and I'll take care of the rest. ”
"Oh, well, then you can rest here now." Seeing that Mary said this, Charles stopped insisting.
Then, he hesitated a little more, and finally said it. "I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for? No need to apologize. Mary smiled and asked, "I told you this myself, and you just fulfilled my wish...... Actually, I'm happy, it's a very good memory, sir. ”
Perhaps instinctively, or perhaps after too many on-the-ground observations in the social arena, Mary was always able to say what men liked to hear the most, and this time was no exception.
From what she knew about Charles, she knew that the more she said that to Charles, the more sorry he would become.
"I'm glad you could say that," Charles smiled, "but you've done something stupid, girl, you know my situation, you've given something too precious......
"It's nothing, I've figured it out myself, as long as I can be united with you, as long as this love that has made me miserable and happy for so long can be catharsized, I can do without anything else......" Mary replied with a trance smile. It's like a woman who is really intoxicated with love, both blind and fiery. "Thank you for responding to my love and for being so gentle. I...... I'm so happy, really, I don't think I could have asked for more. ”
Then, she winked mischievously.
"It's a secret between the two of us, I'll keep it at bay, and I don't want to cause you any trouble."
She didn't want anything but to stay with me...... This answer made Charles surprised, but also a little moved.
Well, I really should just follow her words. Completely abandon and walk away, when nothing is born?
No, I shouldn't.
If I just think of others as playthings that can be discarded after use, then what is the difference between me and that kind of father? Charles thought to himself.
Even if it was absurd, it was a choice he made on his own, and he should take responsibility for it, rather than shift the blame to Mary.
Although he was destined to be unable to unite with the other party, it was not impossible to compensate.
Besides, there is such a person who doesn't care at all about the outcome and is obsessed with himself. Isn't it very trustworthy?
"You've said enough, you were so tired last night, let's rest again, be careful not to catch a cold." Charles walked over to Mary's side. Then carefully pull the quilt over and put it on her body, "Rest early and recover your body." I still have a lot of things I need your help with......"
"I'd love it, sir." Mary replied in a low voice. "It's my greatest ...... to be able to serve you"
"I'm lucky, too." Charles nodded. Then get ready to turn around and leave.
"Sir?" Mary suddenly stopped Charles.
"Anything else?" Charles hurriedly asked.
"You...... Can you ......," a blush appeared on Mary's face, "can you kiss me before leaving?" ”
The face, which had turned pale from the overnight tart, was red again at this time. Are all girls in love so cute?
Maybe.
Without much hesitation, Charles, who was already in a state of flux, complied with her wishes.
He leaned down, and pressed his lips to Mary's thin, bright red lips, this time kissing very gently.
It was a long time before the lips of the two men parted again.
"Alright, goodbye." Charles, who had repacked his clothes, nodded to Mary, "Get some rest." ”
"Goodbye, sir." Mary, who still had red clouds on her face, replied in a coquettish voice. "I wish I could see you soon."
"You will."
Charles answered, then turned and left the room.
Mary lay on the bed and watched Charles walk out of the room step by step.
It wasn't until Charles walked out of the room that her eyes full of anticipation and infatuation slowly cooled, and the blush and smile on her face gradually disappeared.
All the gentleness and shyness that had fascinated Charles before were gone, and her heart was now very calm, and her mind was calm.
I have to say that Yiqiē was even smoother than expected, and after finding the opportunity, she actually did the task entrusted by the old thing.
However, what excites her more than completing the mission is Charles' reaction.
This kind of gentle and apologetic response was something she had not expected before, and she did not expect that Charles was not at all as prodigal and absurd as his friend Albert, and did not take the affair with a woman seriously at all.
Is this the kind of person who secretly hooked up with Matilda - and maybe other women - and then pretended to be nothing? It doesn't look like it.
However, although unexpected, this result is the most ideal.
Perhaps, in addition to completing the mission, it is really possible to get additional rewards from him?
Mary couldn't help but laugh at the thought of this, it was a smile from her heart.
In that case, wouldn't it be nice to continue to love him...... (Want to know more about "Flowers and Swords and France"?)
