Mrs. Pei, who was drinking tea, suddenly put down her teacup.

"Mrs. Dunlop?"

For her visit, Mrs. Pei had a feeling of surprise or unfinished thinking.

Mrs. Dunlop did not answer, and her eyes met her mixed emotions.

In order to break the stiff atmosphere, Xiao You hurriedly spoke, "You-"

She was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to call so many people, and hurriedly changed her words with a smile, "Seniors, excuse me." ”

After everyone saw Xiaoyou and Mrs. Dunlop, their eyes naturally stayed on the two of them.

Xiaoyou didn't want to be in the middle of the eyes all the time, so he walked up to Mr. Pea and asked softly: "I took the liberty to find you, there is a reason for it, I want to say a few words to you alone." ”

As the words fell, she smiled in response to everyone's unbelievable eyes.

"Oh! I just want to talk to you about something. ”

As if he had just reacted, Mr. Pea walked over and muttered a few words to Simon and his wife, and then planned to take Xiao Yu into the study.

Before leaving, he pretended to be relaxed to comfort the guests, "Everyone, I'm sorry, I have some things to deal with, and those things ~ will be explained to you by my wife." ”

Xiao Yu took Mrs. Dunlop with him, and under the somewhat curious gaze of everyone, followed Mr. Pea out of the parlor.

Mr. Pea's study wasn't big, but it was big enough for four or five people.

There are no extravagant furnishings, most notably an old bookcase full of books.

From the older windows, you can enjoy a beautiful view of the mountains and forests.

As soon as Mrs. Dunlop entered the door, she couldn't help but cover her mouth, instantly unable to control her emotions, a little out of order, but desperately restrained, and her affectionate face hid the helplessness that had accumulated for too many years.

"Mayor Mare!"

"Mr. Pea." Xiaoyou, who originally wanted to ask, looked at Dunlop, who couldn't help himself, and he didn't know where to start.

However, Mr. Pea just looked at the two of them indifferently, and then asked them to sit down before talking.

He poured tea unhurriedly for the two of them.

"I'm the mayor of the town, and I didn't tell you about it before, I just wanted to find out what happened on the island of Fais first."

He looked at Xiao You, and Xiao You knew that he was explaining to himself.

"These people outside are the town councilors who used to help me with my errands, and apart from them, no one in the town cares about me coming back."

He became serious and deliberate.

"So, now that you know I'm the mayor, please keep it a secret."

"No problem."

"Jessie." Mr. Pea finally evokes her name, her affectionate pupils glowing with a watery glow.

Jessie, who appears to be Mrs. Dunlop's real name, is Singh's family name.

"I'm sorry I couldn't help with Singh's business."

His tone was mixed with all kinds of helplessness and regret.

"It's been thirty years, and I thought you could have favorable evidence to redeem Singh!" Mrs. Dunlop continued to mourn: "Is it ——? ”

Mr. Pea could only shake his head weakly, "There is no evidence, even the branch association can't find any suspicious points, so even if I come back at that time, I can't do anything." I'm sorry, Jessie. His face became more ugly and his tone heavier.

Mrs. Dunlop covered her mouth and turned her head to the side in grief.

She wanted to suppress her emotions and restrain herself, even after a long time, she couldn't dilute her sad emotions.
