"Mary?" Matilda was slightly startled at first when she saw the person who greeted her, but quickly regained her composure.

Then, she nodded to the other with a smile. "I didn't expect you to be here today!"

"Well, there's nothing going on today, so I'm staying here." Mary replied with the same smile.

"You've been doing a lot of favors lately......" Matilda nodded, then asked, "I'm going to meet Fran now, you can take me with you, I heard that she's not in good health lately, so I'm a little worried......"

"She's not feeling well, but isn't it because she's not well? Don't you and I know both? Mary replied in a low voice.

"Huh?"

How can it be said so bluntly? That's too inappropriate, isn't it...... Are they still in someone else's house?

Matilda was a little confused by her answer, and looked at the other party in bewilderment, trying to figure out what she really meant.

But Mary didn't explain much, and still had that strange smile on her face.

"What do you mean by that?" Matilda had to ask.

Yet Mary still didn't answer, just? He waved his hand lightly and made a gesture.

"Let's go talk together, shall we? I have something to tell you. Very important thing. ”

Although she still didn't understand what the man was thinking, Matilda agreed. "Okay."

In this way, in a completely different mood than just now. Matilda followed Mary, who looked a little strange, back into the reception room.

"If something says something to me, you'd better hurry. I'm still in a hurry......" Matilda just said after sitting down. Suddenly, it felt as if something was wrong with Mary's state.

"What's wrong? Mary, are you uncomfortable? ”

…… The way she walks, and the way she sits down, is slightly strange, slightly unnatural, and then looks at her appearance, it's like, it's like......

Matilda felt an inexplicable sense of abnormality in her heart.

Because, her current state. It's a little too similar to myself at some point before......

Then, an indescribable panic suddenly jumped from her heart.

"You...... Are you alright? Driven by this panic, she subconsciously asked again, but the meaning was very different from just now.

"Oh, it's all right, my dear friend." Mary frowned slightly, then reluctantly sat back down. Then he looked at her with a smile, "It's just that I've been a little busy lately, so I'm just a little uncomfortable." ”

She didn't intend to hide anything, so she looked very calm.

"Hmm...... As for whether it is good or not. Mary's eyes narrowed slightly, as if in thought, and she laughed again. Overall, okay? It feels like it's fun, too. ”

Look at the way she looks. Matilda knew she was right.

However, she didn't plan to delve into this kind of thing. After all, this is people's freedom, and she has no right to interfere. Merely...... There was one thing she suddenly cared about, and that was ...... Who is the person who has already gotten along with her?

A terrible, but plausible, guess suddenly popped up in her mind, and then her face turned pale.

Will...... Is that person?

"That's right, Matilda, I've recently made an important decision for myself," as if reading through what she was thinking, Mary continued calmly, "I asked you to come over today to talk, just to explain to you so that you don't blame me......"

Really!

From this answer, Matilda found that her worst suspicions were confirmed.

Sure enough, that person!

So that's the case?!

Matilda was taken aback at first, and then suddenly a flame of anger ignited in her heart.

Although this was only Mary's words, and she would have to verify it later, she already believed what Mary said in her heart—she had no reason to tell a lie that could be exposed at once.

Then, I was indeed betrayed inadvertently.

No, it's not even a betrayal, it's just discarded like a tired object.

No wonder he hasn't been coming to me lately.

An unbearable bitterness welled up in her heart.

Although he was not unprepared for separating from him, this sudden blow still exceeded his expectations.

She had long known that this person was the one who was going to get married, so if he left her and returned to his wife's arms, she would not feel anything unacceptable about it, and she was even mentally prepared to completely separate from him one day.

However, such an outcome is not what she hoped to see.

Is this the person who says he loves me with rhetoric, but continues to mess with flowers and grass without any scruples? Matilda thought to herself.

And I actually believed him.

Sure enough, every man is so unreliable.

What's even more infuriating is that even at this moment, that person is still deceiving himself with rhetoric, and instead asks Mary to tell him, whether intentionally or unintentionally, this is invisibly giving himself double the humiliation.

Mary must have learned about herself from him, but you can imagine that they must have been making fun of themselves at the time...... It's so damning!

"Oh, I see, I see...... Well, well, this is your private matter, I have no right to ...... There is no right to interfere. I have something to do, so I'm not going to talk about it...... I've got something to do, so I'll get out of here for a while. Don't worry, if it's true, I'm ...... I'm not going to get in your way, I'll leave, really ......"

Matilda, who had always been very quiet and gentle, couldn't help but feel a little annoyed in her heart at the moment, and even became a little incoherent. Because of this, she didn't want to hear any more, she just wanted to ask Charles again right away. If it is true, just say goodbye and leave, so as not to suffer greater humiliation.

While saying. She held back her tears, feeling only ashamed and angry.

However. Mary's next words made her even more confused.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not demonstrating to you, and I'm not trying to humiliate you." The smile on Mary's face remained the same, and she gently grabbed Matilda's hand in an attempt to calm her down. "On the contrary, I want to explain things to you calmly......"

"Anything else to say?" Matilda laughed bitterly, but still forced herself to maintain her dignity so as not to cry in front of Mary. "Don't worry, Mary, I don't blame you. I deserve it, I ruined someone else's marriage, and now I deserve God's punishment...... Really, I don't feel sad, and I don't make a big fuss and lose everyone's face. I only pray, pray that you will not be like me. Fall victim to the worst social habits of liking the new and hating the old, well, I wish you happiness in the future, Mary. ”

"Oops. And said not to be angry! Isn't this an outright curse? Mary looked at Matilda and couldn't help laughing, "If I don't tell you clearly." I think you're going to curse us secretly for the rest of your life! However, there is one thing I have to make clear to you. You can't blame us for this, especially Charles. Believe it or not. Actually, we do that kind of thing, mainly because of you! ”

Judging by Matilda's reaction, Mary is sure that she is indeed truly in love with Charles. Therefore, she also had some doubts in her heart - it seems that the union of the two of them was not just the result of a transaction?

Forget it, there's no need to delve into this kind of thing.

"What do you mean?!" Matilda reluctantly calmed herself down and looked at Mary.

Mary's expression darkened little by little, and then she continued word by word.

"This qiē is all because of the inexplicable fantasies of a bad old man......"

Then, she explained everything to Matilda about the Marquis of Treville and what she had said, as well as the tasks assigned to her, and even how she had seduced Charles.

Matilda listened quietly to her narration, at first a little confused, but soon stunned.

"You...... You ......," she said with a little shortness of breath and her face flushed, "you can do it!" ”

"yes, I was so angry when he asked me that at the time." Mary nodded.

"It's not just him, so are you!" Matilda looked at Mary sadly, "Are you crazy?" Do you obey this kind of thing? You're already at this age, do you do whatever others tell you to do? ”

"Why can't I listen?" Mary asked rhetorically with a sneer. "Can't I do what you can do?"

"We're different!" Matilda retorted loudly, "I chose it myself, no one forced me!" Why would you do such a thing if you don't have love? Don't you have anywhere else in the world to go? ”

The smile on Mary's face suddenly disappeared.

She was really hurt.

"Yes, you're right, we're different. It used to be the same, but now it's different. She looked up and looked at Matilda with a blank expression, "We were originally equals, but fate played a trick on me, and I had to send people to the fence and muster up the courage to meet others. I have become humbled, so I have to obey the commands of a bad old man without complaint—and you, of course, can enjoy the glory in peace, and then despise me as a prostitute! ”

"No, that's not what I meant!" Matilda hurriedly explained.

"Yes, you don't mean that, you still see me as a friend and give me compassion." There was already a hint of tears in Mary's smile at this time, "But, please put yourself in my shoes, should I accept such a high almsgiving?" Or should I find a way to make myself equal to you again? Maybe you see it differently, but I don't. And...... I have made up my mind that I will never change! ”
