Chapter 143: Covenant and Trust

"If you want me to accept it, it's very simple, hurry up and marry her, and let my father live on the hospital bed to be your witness!"

The voice of the little Duke of Trevil was very loud, like thunder in Charles's ears, which showed the great determination of him.

He looked at Charles with blazing eyes, perhaps because of the effect of alcohol, Charles always felt that this gaze was fierce and piercing, so he subconsciously avoided the past.

"Dad, don't mess around, we'll decide our own affairs!" Soon, Charlotte recovered from her initial shock. "Grandpa's business has nothing to do with you, why do you put forward conditions?!"

"What a stupid daughter, you still don't appreciate Daddy's help you speak!" Seeing that his daughter was so unreasonable, the little Duke of Trevel couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "Hey, can't you just think about us a little bit, don't put all your mind on this bastard boy?" This bastard isn't worth your investment. ”

"Even if you don't-good-you-small-say-more-new-most-fast-www.uuxs.cc-happy, don't insult Charles, Daddy." Charlotte's face sank, obviously a little unhappy, "I don't allow you to disrespect him so much!" ”

"Hey! Now I'm putting on a commanding appearance in front of my father, I really don't have any patience at all......" The daughter is so unpopular, the father doesn't know what to say.

He didn't care about Charlotte, and turned his head directly to look at Charles, "Charles, since you claim to be a man who can take on great responsibilities, then don't hide behind my daughter, and sue me directly, do you agree to agree to my conditions?" Whether it's okay or no, you'll have to give me an answer, or else...... Otherwise, I would really look down on you! ”

Charles looked at each other silently. The mind is contemplating.

His cousin may be really in a bad mood. At the moment, he didn't care about the set that was sent on weekdays, and directly gave him such a sharp blow. It did catch him off guard.

However, now that there is no point in investigating the cause, how should we answer him?

In fact, Charles could claim that he was not threatened by him - the Duke of Treville did not put forward this condition when he talked to him just now, and even if he did not agree, this cousin would not be able to do anything about him, and besides, he had no covetousness for the Duke of Treville's family property, and would not have any scruples.

However...... Can I really do that? Charles asked himself.

His cousin wanted him to witness the marriage of his beloved granddaughter before his father died. What's so unacceptable about this?

It can also be seen how much he loves Charlotte as a daughter - Charlotte has offended him like this, and he is still thinking about his daughter.

In all fairness, he was a little moved.

Because of this emotion, he could not delay anything in front of a father's or a son's demands.

Under the sharp turn of his mind, his originally firm will was actually slightly shaken.

It was not a bad thing to have the Duke of Treville himself as his witness, and to let him live to witness his wedding, but on the contrary, it would give great comfort to the two old men.

Besides...... At this point, what's the point of procrastination?

Anyway, I have already decided to marry Charlotte, and it doesn't make much difference if it's early or late. In a situation that has gradually stabilized, holding a wedding is at most a little disrupted in the schedule. And don't let yourself get yourself into too much trouble.

Thinking of this, Charles made up his mind.

Then, he turned his gaze to Charlotte, who was standing next to him.

That's when she found out. It turned out that Charlotte had been watching herself. Although she pretended to be calm on the surface, Charles could see the anticipation hidden in her blue eyes.

Under the scorching gaze, Charles suddenly felt his heart beat rapidly.

She probably didn't mean to scold her father. I just don't want to embarrass myself.

So...... She's been waiting for me long enough, so what's the reason for her to keep waiting?

"I promise you." He said in a deep voice. "Just do as you say. Charlotte and I did our best to prepare for the wedding so that the Duke could witness us walk together into the sacred hall. ”

His sudden answer. Charlotte was stunned.

"That's good, it's like human talk!" The little Duke of Trevil immediately agreed, apparently not wanting to give Charles any chance to repent, "You should have done this a long time ago, but it's not too late. ”

Then, he turned to look at his daughter. "Charlotte, did you hear that? Daddy bless you. ”

The hesitation on Charlotte's face faded away, and finally turned into a smile of surprise.

"Charles...... You...... Are you serious? ”

"Yes, I'm serious." Charles raised his voice, aptly expressing his determination, "Rather, I'm sorry that I don't have time to marry you now...... Miss Treville, can you forgive me for this mistake? ”

Charlotte closed her eyes slightly, then replied in a trembling voice. "Oh, of course, how could I not forgive you? You bastard......"

"yes, I'm just a jerk." Charles nodded, "I'm willing to spend the rest of my life taking care of you, just as I promised." ”

The huge sense of happiness made Charlotte not know what to say for a while, a thousand words were mixed in her heart, and in the end she couldn't say anything, and in the end, she could only nod.

"I will too."

God testifies that the sincerity contained in her words is several times greater than that of the Charles!

The two of them looked at each other like this, and a thousand words seemed to be conveyed in their eyes.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

It wasn't until the uninteresting coughing sound sounded that the tacit understanding between the two people suddenly came to an end.

"Since both of you say so, it's for the best." The middle-aged man tried to keep himself from the two unpleasant glances, and said word by word, "Let's start preparing now, and strive to finish this in two or three months, after all, I don't know how long my father will last." ”

"We really should hurry. The elderly's condition can't wait. Charles nodded in agreement, and then offered his own. However, you may be able to understand it. I...... I've been very busy lately, and there are too many public facts. Therefore, the preparations for the wedding will be left to Charlotte to handle. ”

It was also obviously unrealistic to leave the Marquis of Treville in charge - first, because he had a lot of affairs in the army, and secondly, because he was too old to waste his energy with tedious preparations.

"It's okay, her own life's events, she doesn't feel at ease if she wants to hand it over to someone else, right?" The middle-aged man glanced at his daughter teasingly, and then smiled bitterly, "Philip and I can also give her a hand." After all, now we have to find a way to please her......"

"Dad, don't say that......" Charlotte laughed a little embarrassedly, "I will definitely make this wedding a good one, so that everyone can see what kind of status our family is!" ”

Then, without waiting for her father to say anything more teasing, she suddenly walked up to her father and hugged him. "I'm sorry...... Thank you, Dad......"

How many things are contained in these few words? I'm afraid it's hard to say.

And the middle-aged man just reached out and gently stroked his daughter's hair.

Although self-willed, although not respecting oneself, although the heart is always towards others. But she's her own precious daughter...... It's really reluctant.

"I'm afraid this is the last time you'll hug me." After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man said rather depressedly.

………………………………

It was a long time before Charles and Charlotte came out of the study. They and the little Duke of Trevil had agreed that the preparations for the wedding would be left to Charlotte's side. And after the preparation was completed, they hurried to complete it immediately. In order to compete with the terrible Grim Reaper.

"Charles...... Sue sΓΉ me, is this qiΔ“ all true......? After walking down the hallway for a while, Charlotte was silent at first, then suddenly looked at Charles, "I...... Are we really going to be together forever? ”

Today's continuous good news has made her herself a little doubtful that her luck has been so good. She couldn't even tell if she was sad or happy.

"Yes, you definitely don't have auditory hallucinations, this qiΔ“ is something we have agreed on, at least I won't change it." Charles replied categorically, "I'm very sincere about it, if you want to change your mind......

"No, how could I ...... How could I change my mind? Charlotte replied immediately. That's what I want! ”

The two of them were speechless for a while.

After a while, she reached out and wiped Charles's face, "Charles, stay at my house tonight, right?" I have a lot more to say to you......"

"Forget it tonight, I still have things to deal with, and I'll go back and tell my grandfather about it." Charles rejected this mention with some regret, and then said to Charlotte with a smile, "But don't worry, anyway, we will have time in the future, just say whatever you want." ”

"Well, since you have something to do, don't delay." Charlotte was surprisingly talkative, as if her eyes were shining, "...... Anyway, what we have in the future is time. ”

………………………………

After seeing off Charles, Charlotte returned to her bedroom with endless joy.

Then she picked up the note she had received today from the dresser.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ There has been nothing unusual about this man at this time, except that he has heard that in a few days he will be attending a meeting in Mademoiselle d'Perriette's salon, and that he may observe it again......"

After reading this paragraph, Charlotte casually tossed the note into the wastebasket.

After today's events, she didn't believe that Charles's affection for him today was just a show.

He must be in love with me, Charlotte thought to herself.

Perhaps, my suspicions about him are just unfounded suspicions, right? That dead Morris, it seems, is just a rumor and slander out of jealousy, and he really deserves it......

Charlotte laughed a little self-deprecatingly. (To be continued......) R1292
