"I'll just go and ask him." The woman's name is Anna. "But it's a scar on his heart," the servant reminded. ”

"When is he free?" After Anna said this, she rushed directly to Adam.

The lounge, the third cabin, where he lived, was right outside the dining room.

"The door is open, it's not locked." Anna was surprised to find that she walked inside, and observed that there was no sign of a woman inside, except for the drawer, in which Adam always liked to hide his diary or something he called a secret when he was a child, knowing that it was not safe, and he preferred the house.

So, she cautiously opened the drawer and poked her hands inside.

Sure enough, it was a large stack of letterheads.

"Are we going to get married, and how long is he going to delay?" She hesitated to say this, she thought about it for a long time.

On the letterhead, all the things that were on Adam's mind were kept.

The next stack is all about Adam's lost love, the woman he loved, who had died.

Anna no longer wanted to turn the page, she found nothing but the letterhead in her hand.

Suddenly, Anna found a jewelry box a little deeper in the drawer, and she immediately turned it out.

When I opened it, I saw a dazzling ruby necklace lying on top of the foam, and a small white note was sandwiched under the necklace.

On it is Adam's own handwriting, which reads: "I'm sorry, grandmother, I can't give the necklace to someone I like." ”

"Isn't she the one she likes?" Anna asked, tears welling up in her eyes, doubting everything.

From childhood to adulthood, childhood sweetheart, until the day he was twenty years old, he gave himself a promise, saying that he must marry her in this life, did he forget all the oaths he promised to him?

Anna puts the jewelry box back in its place and puts everything back in place.

The night fell, and in the darkness, Anna's sad and sad eyes flashed in the flickering moonlight.

"Hasn't Adam forgotten the woman who has passed away?"

"Or rather, Adam already has a new love."

That night, Anna lay in bed and began to think crankily, she couldn't help but want to go to Adam, but she was afraid that Adam would not give her the answer she wanted.

Obviously, once upon a time, he pursued her so eagerly, and said that he would be with her for the rest of his life, but before two months had passed since the day he swore his oath, he changed his mind.

She couldn't help but recall the little bits and pieces she had walked with him at the beginning, obviously he liked her at first!

Flipping through the diary, Adam uses her perspective as a first-person narrative and narrative record, which she once upon a time told him personally, cherishing bits and pieces in his heart.

I came from a wealthy merchant family, barely squeezing into the upper class.

My father, William, was cousin to Alice, and I called Alice my aunt, and I loved her because she was a warm and amiable person, and she wrote to me and sent me delicious desserts and biscuits.

But my mother was secretly not pleased with this, and she often said, "Isn't she the precious daughter again?" But that niece doesn't greet people very well, is she about to pretend to be deaf and dumb now? ”

Every time she said to me in front of ODE, when her father was there, she immediately changed to the role of a quiet and steady housewife.

I thought it was funny, and I hated and disgusted this kind of behavior.

Later, I listened too much, so I didn't listen to it at all, but every time my mother spoke, it always lingered in my ears like a buzzing fly, and it seemed that she couldn't find an outlet.

Because Dad always accepted his aunt's gifts with special information, there seemed to be some kind of story between them before, and again I will not elaborate on it.

When I finally left, I could roughly picture my mother's words as a cousin I had never met.

When the mother received a letter, she only briefly said a sentence to the other end of the phone, one of which read: "Oh, it seems that the daughter born by herself is useless, who told this niece to be weak and sick, and it is not easy to feed?" ”

"Born taciturn, withdrawn and willful, when I go to visit her house, I don't come out to greet my cousin and uncle, no wonder, the nature in my bones is like this, I can't change my arrogance."

Usually when she is fine, especially when her father is not at home, she will chatter with the old maid at home.

Granny Ann (abbreviation) was very tight-lipped, and her mother probably once talked like this: "She probably wants to marry her daughter to her cousin, and she thinks it is quite beautiful, you say, can that simple and lovely son withstand the temptation of my son?" The disadvantages are that I have inherited a lot, and there is no one about the merits of any family. ”

Granny An was curious: "What are the advantages?" ”

"Granny An, you've been in this family for so long, don't you know? How envious I am that I can grow into such a beauty, even William, it is very likely that he was seduced by his Alice cousin at that time, right? ”

Clara Dao, Anna's biological mother.

"But what about her daughter, Pian Pian inherited his selfishness, arrogance and rudeness, needless to say, how plain she looks, and so gloomy, such a girl, no one can like it when she sees it, let alone contact it further."

"yes, yes, I don't have a good memory."

"But the young lady is listening here!" Granny Ann carefully reminded Anna to look back at her brother, who was twisting her doll's eyes, that is, the young master of the family as Granny Ann called her.

"Don't worry! Anna wouldn't tell that family, and besides, my young master wouldn't be interested in such a person. Clara replied, continuing her needlework, which the ladies used to pass the time.

"I already have a girlfriend." The young master replied.

Anna glanced at her brother, how could it be.

"Hahaha-" Mother laughed.

Granny An said again, "The young master is also going to follow the young lady, huh?" ”

"I don't want to go." The young master said.

"You should go again, go and meet that family, maybe your father will dispel the idea of letting you and your cousin kiss each other!"

In short, my so-called cousin is a withdrawn, extremely unlikable child, the kind of person who looks mediocre.

On that day, I said goodbye to my brother and finally went to my so-called uncle's house.

What is the reason, it is roughly due to the fact that my parents went to sea for two months to negotiate business, and they couldn't come back for a while.

And the aunt over there also made a request for her long-awaited nephew and niece to come and stay at their uncle's house for a while.

My father also told us not to bully my sister when the carriage was about to leave home, and I nodded.

After that, we went our separate ways and went the other way.

My parents were away from us in another carriage bound for Paris, and I was expressionless, while my brother wept bitterly and waved in the carriage.

Speeding down the country road, we arrived at the country house, and my brother and I were afraid that they would squeeze us out of the carriage.

When I first saw her, I didn't have much interest in the cousin in front of me, at least she was like a stranger to me.

When we first met, we didn't talk to each other.

The first time I came to a relative's house and was going to stay here for a short time, the hostess of the house was the one I knew best, but although she had sent me letters and was very attentive to me, it can be said that this aunt had treated me completely as if I had been another daughter, but in reality I had only visited her once or twice.

So we still have to have a certain distance between us.

Before I came here, I thought what my mother was saying was true—but that aunt wasn't as selfish, arrogant, and rude as she portrayed.

This beautiful aunt is simply a person who will sparkle all over her body with every gesture, and the warmth and protection she gives people invisibly is far more than it seems on the surface.

At the first moment of greeting us, my aunt and uncle gave us a warm and warm hug, and her gesture was more intimate.

This made me mistakenly think that she was my real mother, and my mother often mocked her.

The uncle looks a little serious, but in fact, his inner character is funny and humorous, and when he discovers his truest side, this uncle can't help but make people a little unbelievable.

When I first met him, he was sitting at the coffee table drinking tea, like a politician.

But according to my father, he was also a businessman.

He smiled at me with a cup of tea in his hand, then said hello and asked me to go up and clean up the room on my own.

When I followed my aunt's nanny upstairs, my aunt didn't know what to do.

I guess I asked my introverted and shy cousin to come out to meet the guests!

"Haha, my little darling, are you shy?"

The little girl who was hiding in the futon kept curling up.

"Mom, can you stop calling me baby? I couldn't stand it, and now I'm not a kid anymore. ”

There was a muffled murmur from the little girl inside the futon.

"Oh well! Just wait until it's time to eat, I know you're going to get a little uncomfortable meeting new people. ”

"Just take it slowly, it's okay."

After about five minutes of silence, the girl remained silent.

"Alright, alright, I'll leave the room first, but you should at least say hello to your cousin and cousin." Alice could already feel the impatience of the little baby who was writhing under the quilt.

"Well, I will." The little baby under the covers muttered a small sigh.

Camille, blushing from the quilt, threw off the quilt and walked out of the room sullenly, tidied up her clothes, and went to see her so-called cousin and cousin.

The already crimson face, the moment I saw my cousin and cousin, it became even more red, and it was directly red to the root of my ears.
