It's the middle of winter in Washington, D.C., and the temperature outside is below freezing. Two days ago www.biquge.info a cold snap swept across the east coast, and it snowed so much that the Potomac River, which had been frozen, was covered in a thick layer of snow.

In the morning, the sun was hard to come out, and little Ella played in the snow in the yard for a while. During lunch time, Adele noticed that her daughter's face was a little hot. Worried that she would catch a cold, Adele boiled her the "family cold secret recipe" ginger syrup. The little one was forced by his mother to drink a full drink, and then he was driven back to his room for a nap.

Since having little Ella, Adele has no habit of taking a nap. For so many years, she has insisted on raising her daughter herself, from dressing up to eating and sleeping, telling stories, and playing games, she has to worry about everything, and even faded out of her original social circle. The time when only her daughter takes a nap every day is truly Adele's own. She can use this time to do something she loves.

It's really rare to see a "wealthy lady" like Adele who likes to guard her children at home every day. The hostesses of the family, such as them, usually leave the children and household chores to the housekeepers, servants, and governesses, and are busy attending or organizing various social gatherings every day. Compared to them, Adele lives like a "hermit".

On the one hand, this is due to Adele's character. Having attended a church school since she was a child, she was not a person who liked to be lively. Many times, a book and a paintbrush can keep her alone for a long time. As an adult, even when she participates in social events, she prefers to go to some cultural and art salons, and is not very interested in the lively dance parties.

On the other hand, it also has something to do with the fact that they have been moving for the past two years. Every time you go to a new place, it takes a process to integrate into the local social circle. John, the hostess, is always not at home, and Adele is not used to being alone, so she appears less and less often in social situations.

Fortunately in New York, the Vanderbilt family had more relatives, and there were always invitations to events of one kind or another every week. When she arrived in Detroit and Washington, Adele was much more low-key, basically spending some time with the wives of her neighbors.

For the fact that his wife, who was originally gentle and intellectual, and was full of artistic cells, became a "housewife", although there was a trace of guilt in John's heart, he was more moved and gratified. Growing up, John saw a lot of "noble ladies" who lingered in various social situations, even his own mother. Whether in his past life or in this life, he is a person with a strong sense of family, and he is not very interested in the so-called "socialite".

Now Adele keeps everything in the house in order. No matter how many times they moved, Adele always made the house comfortable and comfortable everywhere they went, and John didn't have to worry about it at all. As soon as I got home, there was piping hot coffee and delicious food, the room was always cleaned, the beds were always neatly folded, and there were always flowers in the vase. What's more, it's all full of strong homely flavors, and John has nothing to dislike about.

At noon today, while little Ella was taking a nap, Adele came to the heated glass flower room to take care of the flowers and plants. The sunroom, which took up almost half of the garden, was newly built when they moved in this time, and led directly to the reception room. Every day at noon, Adele likes to drink a cup of coffee or cocktail here, and take care of the various flowers and plants she grows by herself.

In the afternoon sun, Adele is inserting a bouquet of blooming daffodils into a crimson vase. This vase was bought by Mr. Delano in his early years in Vietnam and was one of Adele's dowries. Over the years, they took it with them everywhere they went, and they kept it on the fireplace in the living room.

Today, Adele wears a hazel silk nightgown with a black belt with a silver buckle around her waist. Her hair was permed in waves, draped behind her ears. In 1938, it was a very fashionable hairstyle. Although Adele is usually very fond of gardening, especially flower arrangement. But at this moment, she was a little absent-minded. Ever since she returned from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Adele has been struggling with what John had discussed with her that night.

By the time Adele was born, Mr. Delano had returned to France from Vietnam to start a private banking business. As the youngest daughter of the family, Adele has been more favored since she was a child and has received a full set of "celebrity" training courses. Among them, family financial management is an indispensable course, and Adele has also learned it systematically. Although this is still very different from real business operations, Adele knows a little bit about finances.

After getting married, Adele has always been satisfied with her married life. Although her husband John was born in a "wealthy family", he is emotionally very single-minded, not a person who messes with flowers, and the love life of the two has always been very beautiful. In addition, soon after marriage, they had little Ella, and the family of three lived a very happy life.

But since John's car accident early last year, Adele has noticed that her husband has gradually changed. Although he is still very good to himself, he also spoils little Ella. But she always had an indescribable feeling that her husband was getting farther and farther away from the family.

In the first few years of marriage, no matter how busy he was, John would not refuse to accompany his wife out to dinner, watch a show, and have a little romance. But since he left the family business to start a business, he has become very busy, often not at home for ten days and half a month. In order to get closer to her husband, Adele moved with him several times. But John's time at home is getting less and less.

In just two years, her husband's career has swelled rapidly at a speed that is visible to the naked eye. Even he himself has become a "rising star in the business world", and even in the political circles of Washington, Adele is not at all mentally prepared for this.

She also comforted herself in her heart that it is a good thing for a man to be ambitious. I should cooperate with my husband and take care of this family. But when she saw her husband quickly transform from a "good family man" to a business tycoon and a mature politician, Adele felt a little flustered and uneasy in her heart.

Adele never worried that her husband would change his mind, but she didn't like the current state of the family. She is also highly educated, and returning to her family does not mean that she is willing to be a housewife in the traditional sense. She cares more about the emotional exchange and communication with her husband, and if this situation continues, sooner or later the two will have no common language.

This is also the reason why Adele finally promised John. Now that her husband has gone further and further down this path, she is ready to try to follow the same path. Only in this way can there be a glimmer of possibility to catch up with him. In any case, at least there will be more opportunities to communicate with my husband in the future.
