Chapter 100: A Line of Love (Part II)
Since taking a leave of absence, Charlotte Hill's range of activities has been limited to the estate, even if it is just spread out on the grass, there must be a "tail" behind her buttocks, this life is no different from house arrest irritates her, but this is the will of the head of the family, even her parents cannot disobey. The summer turned out to be one of Charlotte's worst she can remember www.biquge.info and when she realized that her struggle was futile, she expressed her anger with a chaotic routine: sometimes she went out for a walk early in the morning, sometimes she snuggled up in bed for days until a novel was finished, and sometimes she deliberately rode her horse so fast in the horse farm that the people in charge of her caretaker jumped for a while......
Leaving Hill Manor in Little Wellington's car, Charlotte looked like a prisoner on parole, enjoying the fresh air outside the walls for a while, but still under the watchful eye of the jailers, and returning to the prison in less than a few hours. Unless she waits until she is actually released from prison, or escapes in a successful escape.
Welllis-Wellington's car was a British-built Rover car, painted in jujube red and shaped like a refined version of an open-top carriage, with narrow tires of similar size and width to the wheels of a horse-drawn carriage. Although the comfort is still a little worse than that of a horse-drawn carriage, as the Second Industrial Revolution draws to a close, all kinds of industrial novelties emerge one after another, whether in the bustling city or the quiet countryside, driving a well-made car is quite a pleasure.
Under the curious and envious gaze of others, the jujube-red gold medal Rover stopped under the huge rose sign. As the name suggests, this is a romantic romance-themed restaurant, and its shape, furnishings, and furnishings are almost exclusively for couples. Glancing at the door, little Wellington, who was dressed as an elegant gentleman, was already overjoyed, and he snapped his fingers at the waiter: "Please give me and this lady the best seats." ”
The waiter recognized Charlotte at a glance, and he greeted respectfully, "Hello, Miss Hill, I haven't seen you for a long time." I heard you went to Elizabeth College in London, how are you lately? ”
Charlotte only had time to nod slightly, and little Wellington stuffed a bill to the waiter with a look of annoyance: "Do your part." ”
The waiter was a young man, who looked a few years older than Charlotte, and standing next to little Wellington made him look much older. Although he did not refuse the tip of this arrogant gentleman, his eyes were full of surprise and contempt. Immediately after, he took the two to the swing seat by the window. Charlotte sat on the charming fairy of the woods, and little Wellington sat on...... It always gives people an awkward feeling that doesn't match.
"Your best trout and taro cakes, huh...... And then the best red wines. Go as fast as you can! Little Wellington commanded self-righteously.
"Sorry, we only have trout at one price point, and you can choose from the cooking method and the type of sauce. As for the taro cake, the selection of ingredients is naturally the best, but the price is also only one grade. The waiter seemed to be deliberately mocking this guy who felt too good about himself, or the straightforward personality of the little local.
Before little Wellington could attack, Charlotte smiled faintly, "Okay, Kyle, then give us two butter pan-fried trout sets!" ”
When faced with Charlotte Hill, the waiter immediately returned to a respectful posture, he made a few strokes on the menu, did not look at Little Wellington, and left directly.
"This guy ......," said Wellington Jr. in a low voice, "in any restaurant in London, he would have been fired at once." What an uneducated country boy! ”
"Speaking of which, I'm also a country girl with little education, right?" Charlotte answered lukewarmly.
Little Wellington hurriedly laughed and said, "Hey, Miss Hill, I have no intention of being disrespectful to you, and I can't compare you with the waiters here. The Hill family is a very prestigious family of officers in the Royal Navy, and just as our Wellington family is widely recognized in military and political circles, how can we be confused with ordinary civilians because of our innate noble origins? ”
Charlotte felt that if she didn't interrupt the other person, the guy would definitely babble until the meal was served.
"Well, I see what you mean. I'm sorry, but I have to leave for a while. ”
"Leave?" Little Wellington's eyes widened, "I promised your family that I would send you back before dark." ”
The disdain in Charlotte's eyes was the same as the waiter just now: "So, are you going to accompany me to the bathroom?" ”
"Aha, how is that possible...... It was my fault just now, I hope you don't mind, after all, some things ......" Little Wellington pouted, although this is a common way for gentlemen to resolve embarrassment, it is not at all pleasing to Charlotte.
Having seen Charlotte enter the bathroom in a very impolite way, little Wellington was not very reassured, he walked briskly to the door of the dining room, and confessed a few words to the two Hill family servants who had followed him in the carriage, and then returned to the table on the swing seat - and when he sat down, he almost fell out of balance.
On the other side, as soon as Charlotte walked into the ladies' bathroom, a waiter hung a sign outside that said "Temporarily suspended for maintenance".
"Charlotte."
Although she had expected it, when the low, magnetic voice really came to her ears, Charlotte still covered her mouth with her hands, so as not to cry out in surprise. The bathroom is not an ideal environment for lovers to meet, and the two of them who have been separated for a long time can no longer take care of so much. Charlotte, who was wearing a violet blue dress, instantly abandoned the reserve and indifference in front of people, and she threw herself into Natsuki's arms desperately, sobbing before she could speak.
Xia Shu hugged her sweetheart tightly, rubbed her palm lightly on the back of her shoulder, and whispered warmly: "I'm here, Xia Luo, I'm here...... You've been wronged, Xia Luo...... We are no longer separated, no longer separated......"
After crying for a full minute, Charlotte raised her head to look at Natsuki, her originally cold and strong eyes revealing watery tenderness.
Although Charlotte didn't say a word, Natsuki knew her hesitation at the moment, so she said firmly: "No matter how difficult the road ahead will be, I swear to stay with you in this life and never be separated again!" ”
Charlotte looked at Natsuki's face closely, looked at his appearance and demeanor, and for a long time, she pressed her tear-stained cheeks to Natsuki's chest: "Jochen, if the people of both countries unite against us, do you still have the courage to protect this love?" ”
Xia Shu gritted his teeth and said word by word: "For your sake, even if I am the enemy of the whole world, I will not hesitate to do it!" ”
"But I'm afraid." Charlotte said in a tone that had never been softer than ever, "Jochen, I'm afraid we can't be together. ”
Natsuki kissed her forehead, and the fragrance of the hair that hit his nose made his heart swell irrepressibly.
"No, we can be together, as long as we show enough courage and no one can stop us! My past and present efforts, as well as my future actions, are all about defending our love! Trust me, Charlotte, I can do it, and so can you! ”
In Natsuki's arms, Charlotte also felt the tide of her heart: "Yes, Joheng, I believe in you, I must believe in you...... Life without you is horrible, like a dark hell. I'd rather take a gamble than sink into this hell. ”
Natsuki said, "I want to save you from this dark hell and return to the free world that belongs to us." Listen to me, Charlotte, and remember every word I say next......"
Ten minutes later, when little Wellington, who was sitting in the dining room, had almost lost his patience, Charlotte finally appeared in his sight, and her demeanor did not look unusual, except that her eyes were red, and her thin cheeks were a little more rosy than before.
"My eyes were smoked with perfume." Charlotte explains.
"It's okay, next time I'll give you a bottle of perfume with a unique formula, which not only smells pleasant, but also never irritates the eyes, which ordinary people can't buy with money." Little Wellington said triumphantly, and in the place where he was turned, a man younger than him, handsome, rich, talented, and above all, who had already won the heart of a beauty, glanced at this side with a resolute and tender gaze, and left the side door of the dining-room, escorted by two capable men.
After going out, facing a gust of fresh wind, Xia Shu suddenly felt a hundred times more energetic, and there was an irrepressible excitement in his heart - a clear and unmistakable life plan made him stride forward on the road of life, reaping countless praises and victories, but also losing the fun of exploration and adventure. Elopement, especially one that crosses borders and can be met with strong resistance, is both a testament to the belief in love and a new challenge to the tedium of life. It is foreseeable that its success will inevitably bring a strong sense of accomplishment and self-confidence: this invincible world empire will eventually tremble under its feet!
