Chapter 65: The Scandal at the Tower of Babel
Jonanstine was in the gap in the curtains, watching his uncle put Rham's hand in the hands of a strange man, and Robelk lifted Rham's veil.
Jonanstine tightened his grip on the curtains and kept telling himself that today's wind was a sea and land wind......
Flowers, concertos, guests celebrate, newlyweds, kisses, cheers.
The picture seemed to have been cropped, cut out one by one, and slowly played out in Honansteen's eyes, and he breathed to the wedding music of the orchestra.
In Roman's eyes, most people are paying attention to this grand wedding, but few really care about the couple.
He's not like Honanstine, who is timid about everything, he can go down and toast openly or not.
Usually, he said, the person who holds the bride's hand is only a male close relative, except for the biological father.
Roman was just curious as to why Honanstine wasn't the one holding his sister at the wedding, and the most strange thing was that Honanstine was the one who was forbidden to step into Ream's wedding.
The Tower of Babel is so interesting.
"Interesting family."
Roman thought this when watching the wedding, and Roman said this at the dinner table, the table rarely sits in an orderly manner according to age - it can be seen that Robelk's wedding family attaches great importance to it.
"It has nothing to do with us."
Flione glanced at Roman, who had heard of the secrets of the Babel family, but who had not asked too much about his in-laws.
"I think you know."
Frieon expressed surprise at Roman's willingness to cooperate with the family's activities today, and Roman was not a person who liked family socialization.
Looking at Roman's interested appearance, Frione knew that Roman had seen something, which was why Roman was willing to sit here upright.
"I said, don't get to the bottom of anything."
Frieon had to deal with the people who toasted him while answering Roman's meaningful questions, and since he became the patriarch, nothing was easy.
"Just share it and I'll keep it a secret."
Shativa wouldn't ask that, Robelk wouldn't ask it, his siblings wouldn't ask the question that couldn't be picked up, but Roman would.
Seeing Roman smile and lick the back socket of his teeth, as if he was determined to win, Frione stroked his goatee.
"Remember to toast, since you're down, you're going to toast."
Watching Roman put away his smile and Flione stood up with his glass, his meaning was clear - Roman was not allowed to ask the question again.
"I'll figure it out myself."
Frieon had taken a few steps when Roman's voice came and he said he would inquire himself.
Flieon frowned, it was really a romantic speech. Roman held his cheeks and watched Frion go smoothly, he had expected that Frione would give a warning.
It doesn't seem to be a surprising secret.
Roman glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to the episode, and the family was not surprised by him.
He picked up his glass and stood up on the table, only then did anyone notice him.
"Are you going to have a toast?"
Shativa asked him, he looked like he was going to have a toast? Roman took a sip of wine and laughed
"Who's going to do these stupid things?"
He raised a glass to his family and motioned for everyone to slow down.
"You have to pay respect! Big brother will tie you up! β
Shativa said, rather politely than Roman addressed his brothers by their first names.
"Trust me, Robelk will be so drunk today that he forgets the fact that I didn't toast."
Roman and Shatifa made a goodbye gesture leisurely, and Frione tightened his mouth, and Roberk would not speak, but Roman could still find someone who knew the truth.
Although the method is somewhat mean.
β¦β¦
It is impossible for Honansteen, as a character who is bound to appear in principle, not to know the reason why he was forbidden to attend, and Honanstine is well aware that his mother is avoiding his presence.
"You just have to put the glass on your face."
Sitting on the sofa on the balcony on the second floor, Honansdine's preoccupation with the wedding caused him to ignore Roman's return.
Honansteen turned his head and saw Roman with his left hand supporting his face, elbows propped up his thighs, and his right hand holding a wine glass.
"I thought you'd be down there for a long time."
Honansteen quickly turned his head back, not wanting to keep an eye on Roman. Romanto's cheek tapped his cheek, plotting his own language.
"Why don't you come up after the toast, it's boring to socialize."
Roman said that he felt he should know everything about Honansteen, and that he knew more or less about Honansteen's weaknesses.
"My clan doesn't know about the fact that you didn't receive an invitation."
Roman went on to say that this is not the case, and that this is a tacit fact for the power of the two families.
Jonanstine turned his head and looked back at the glass window
"It's inevitable ......"
Unexpectedly, his mother had done such an unseemly affair with the wedding of Rhem, and Jonanstine watched as the couple surrounded the toasting crowd.
"Robelk has been waiting for your glass of wine."
Jonansdine's weakness is his sister, his good-for-nothing family, and attacking someone else's weakness is shameless but effective, Roman said.
"Maybe he'll get drunk with a disappointment."
Roman drank his wine down, his combo was already out, and the rest was up to Honanstine's reaction, and Roman placed his glass on the table next door.
Disappointment, disappointment, disappointment, that's the word Jonansteen heard, it's disappointment.
Roman knew that Honanstine was sentimental and felt a point that he thought was extreme, and combined with the weakness he had shown, Roman only had to say something that might cause Honanstine to associate him and he was halfway there.
"Can you do me a favor......"
The last thing Honanstin could bear at this time was the word disappointment, he was worried that Robelk's disappointment would be transferred from him to Reim, and he was worried that the disappointment of the Buda family would be passed on to his sister.
In short, he was now afraid to hear about disappointment, fear to associate the consequences of disappointment.
Because he still remembers that today's wind is a land and sea breeze, not a sea and land breeze at all.
He must not be the trigger for the tragedy of his sister's marriage.
No.
"I'm not going back to that upsetting place."
Roman raised his eyebrows and said coldly, he was really punched to the flesh.
Hearing Roman's decisive refusal of his unspoken request, Honansteen's consciousness is confused, and the spiritual world that is easy to mess with himself is Honansteen's weakness.
"Count me in."
He begged Roman to listen to his plea, and Honanstine's hand holding the glass clenched into a fist.
"Are you begging me or are you threatening me?"
Sensing the change in Honanstine's tone, Roman raised his eyes and said. People are always deceived by Roman's appearances and don't know it.
"I'm begging you, please help me toast. I can't be there, she can't be bothered by me. β
What disappointment is, the beginning of distrust, Roman has been emphasizing disappointment at the family level, but Jonansteen's reaction to disappointment at the family level is interesting.
Jonanstine didn't say to disappoint the family, he only said her.
Roman thinks so, interesting.
Beings like the Ingles, who are connected to the honor of the family, rarely talk about the individual without the family.
Honanstine spoke, and Roman subconsciously resisted, this conversation seemed so commonplace, Roman was too lazy to say too much, and he was ready to go straight to the point.
"Since you beg me, I can make a request."
Roman relented, this sentence is very in line with Roman's image, he is such a character who takes advantage of the fire to rob and is insensitive.
Roman has never been very good at setting up his characters, which has lowered the expectations of the public, and at the same time, his sudden burst of compassion highlights his good qualities.
In fact, Roman is not a good person, but he is not inherently bad.
"You've been waiting for this sentence!"
Honansteen glared at Roman, the first time Honanstine had done so. Feeling the cattiness in Roman's speech, Honanstine tensed.
"Then forget it, talk to me when your suspicions are over."
For a highly sensitive person like Honansteen, Roman's method is to put the hook in a sharp way, so that Honanstin does not perceive the slightest implication.
Seeing Roman keep tapping his cheek with his fingers to support his face the whole time, Honansteen convinced himself to believe Roman's inadvertence.
Roman wouldn't be bored playing this kind of wordplay with him, Roman didn't bother to do that.
This idea became the strongest pillar of Jonanstin's persuasion, and he believed it.
ββ¦β¦ What do you want? β
What Roman wanted to ask for, this was what Honanstin was puzzled about, what he was interested in.
Roman's fingers tapped on the side of his face and he switched, his fingers touching his temples.
"I'll just ask you a few questions, yes or no."
Roman began to grind his temples.
"How many?"
Honanstin looked out the window, and the toasting crowd began to decrease, he was worried that Roman had too many questions, which would delay the toast on his behalf.
"Three or four, the first one is that you and your sister's biological father is not your uncle."
Roman began to ask questions, and at this point he was a cold questioner, completely indifferent to any emotion.
"It's not."
"Second, your biological father hates your uncle."
"Yes." Honanstin sensed the depth of Roman's question, he didn't know where Roman's sense of smell came from, and since one of his memories had been blurred, the matter had subsided.
"Your biological father and your mother are separated."
Roman grinded his temples harder, and the rudiments of his guess were formed.
"It stands to reason that it is......"
Honan Stine was afraid that Roman would ask all the way, it was definitely not a past that could be clearly explained, Roman saw Honan Stin's lips pursed, and he clenched his teeth.
The question in Flieon's mouth is not to ignore the doubts in his heart, but to know the truth but not to say it.
"Your family is really messy."
Roman's fingers left his temples, and he stopped asking, though he had one more question he was curious about.
Sometimes, though, more opportunities come with more opportunities.
"I'll reluctantly help you go down once, remember that you owe me."
Roman stood up and took his empty glass.
"I won't thank you for ......"
Honansteen was still immersed in the excessive tension he had just made, and he was only surprised that Roman didn't follow suit.
He could almost guess what Roman wanted to ask, but Roman stopped the conversation and he didn't continue.
Is the real patriarch of Babel your mother?
Not entirely.
