Chapter 148: An Invitation to the Banquet
After a lot of words, Sean finally convinced his aunt that he and Intix were just friends, and he was relieved to tear open the sealed envelope at the same time.
Arianna squinted her eyes and looked around, looking very eager to see but embarrassed to speak, which made Sean want to laugh a little, but he didn't expose it, but generously waved the parchment in his hand that had not yet been unfolded and said, "Auntie, let's take a look?" ”
Arianna was overjoyed and sat down unceremoniously.
Sean pursed his lips and unfolded the envelope:
"Sean, I haven't seen you for a long time, and I don't know how your dancing is doing, and whether you will step on your feet often?
Nicole has told me everything you helped her, and she is grateful to you and has always wanted to invite you to dinner, hehe, but I refused for you.
Oh yes, I'm going to tell you one thing, maybe it's because of the Lehman family, I'm afraid I can't continue to study at Hogg School, my father contacted me at St. Peter's College in the capital Werner, and I'll be leaving in a few days.
Before leaving, I would like to ask you to do me a favor, this is not what my father meant, it is that I want you to go to a banquet with me as my bodyguard, you can rest assured, this is not a banquet for the Lehman family, but an invitation from Baron Roma, which will not cause you trouble.
If you agree, please ask Arianna to tell you on your behalf, and I'll have Rousseff pick you up in three days.
- Best friend Intixs Red. ”
Sean looked at the letter in front of him in amazement, and just looked up to speak, but found that his aunt Arianna's eyes were full of strangeness.
Sean chuckled in his heart, and quickly explained: "Auntie, don't get me wrong, I'm just ......"
"I understand!" Arianna suddenly sighed, patted Sean on the shoulder and said, "Sean of our family is already a gentleman, even if there is a lady you like, it is very normal." ”
"No, no, auntie, you ...... by mistake"
"I know." Arianna didn't give Sean a chance to explain at all, frowning, "It's just...... Intix is the noble lady of the Red family, and we are just ordinary families, you two ......"
She didn't say the latter words, but Sean understood what Auntie meant, and couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Auntie, Intix and I are really just friends." ”
"I understand!"
No! You don't understand! Sean muttered in his heart, but seeing that his aunt looked like you didn't need to explain, he had to reluctantly change the topic and said, "Why is Intix suddenly going to change schools?" ”
Arianna was really distracted, shook her head and said: "I don't know the specifics, but it seems that the meaning of Intix is related to the young master of the Lehman family, alas, Sean, aunt to tell the truth, you and Intix's are not suitable." ”
Sean shook his head speechlessly, and instead of continuing the topic, he pondered, "Then do you know the banquet she said?" ”
"Yes." Arianna nodded: "She invited me too, I wanted to refuse outright, you know, I don't like this kind of occasion the most, but I thought that maybe I wouldn't have many chances to meet Intex in the future, so I agreed." ”
Sean's face changed, and he was about to say something, when he saw Jessica, who had wet hair, walking out wearing his aunt's clothes while wiping her hair.
At this moment, Jessica has no makeup, so the typical feminine temperament of the women of the Augustine Kingdom is vividly displayed.
A pair of eyes that seem to be shining, a straight nose, coral-like lips, pearl-like teeth, and long golden hair dripping with water, I don't know, I thought this was a girl about twenty years old.
Especially when the other party was wearing the upper skirt that the aunt had bought in Ipilus before, and the lower body was wearing a pair of silk pants embroidered with pink roses on a white background, revealing two small and delicate feet, if these two feet were not playing with the pair of small slippers embroidered with lotus flowers, they might be mistaken for jade feet carved from marble.
But even so, Sean was still stunned and looked at each other, and couldn't believe that the other party's appearance had changed so much after taking a bath.
"What are you talking about? What banquet? ”
Although Jessica had often teased Sean before, she was still a little embarrassed to be looked at like this by Sean and Arianna at the moment.
Sean didn't have anything, so he quickly came back to his senses, rolled his eyes and said, "Sister, don't drink next time!" ”
Arianna complimented, "Lady Jessica, you are so beautiful!" ”
Jessica didn't know why, but when she heard Arianna's voice, she was even more embarrassed and said in a panic: "Arianna, you are much more beautiful than me." ”
Arianna burst out laughing.
Sean was speechless: "Can you two not praise each other?" I didn't see cows flying in the sky! ”
"You have to take care of it!"
Arianna said in unison.
The next moment, the atmosphere suddenly relaxed, and Arianna smiled: "We were just talking about a friend's banquet of mine, and my friend invited him. ”
"Banquet?" Jessica was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and said in astonishment: "You can't be talking about the banquet held by Baron Roma at Maple Leaf Manor three days later, right?" ”
Sean was stunned for a moment, and said in equal surprise: "How do you know? ”
Although Intix did not specify the location of the banquet in the letter, he still knew the Maple Leaf Manor where Baron Rohm lived, as the two nobles of Barot City and its iconic manor, not to mention that everyone knew about it, it was also a topic of frequent small talk between adults. 33
Jessica flicked her hair back and smiled, "That's because I was invited too." ”
After a pause, she added, "Not only me, but Inspector Oscar and several of your colleagues were also invited. ”
She doesn't name Captain Oscar here, apparently because Arianna is there, but she reminds Sean of it in a vague way.
Sean was even more surprised, vaguely feeling that there might be something in it, so he nodded slightly and said, "Since everyone went, then I should go too, after all, my aunt will also go." ”
Arianna suddenly smiled happily: "Great, let's be together in three days." ”
Jessica seemed to think of something, and took Arianna's hand and said, "By the way, since you're attending a banquet, are you ready for a dress?" ”
Arianna was stunned for a moment, and said in a panic: "Yes, how did I forget about this, what should I do, it's over now, I, I haven't bought a dress." ”
Sean was about to speak, but Jessica pulled Arianna and walked outside, saying as she walked, "That's right, I have several dresses at home, I'll take you to try them!" ”
As she spoke, she turned her head and gave Sean a vague look.
Arianna said embarrassedly, "It's not good, I ......."
"It's okay, as long as you don't dislike it!" Jessica almost dragged Arianna to the door, then turned back to Sean and smiled: "Sean, I took your aunt away, you can solve the lunch yourself!" ”
Sean was speechless, and watched with a wry smile as the two walked out of the room......
......
......
Some people died, but not completely......
