"Do you want to pursue Audrey?"

Before Anthony became a baron, this topic was never clarified, and now, Anthony, who has qualifications, finally let Earl Hall take the initiative to bring it up, with a flat expression and a hint of questioning.

If I don't pursue Audrey, do I still pursue you?

Anthony scolded the "father-in-law" he thought he thought was in his heart, with a calm and calm smile on his face.

"Yes, Earl Hall, I love your daughter, she is simply an angel sent by the gods to the earth, and her smile tugs at my heartstrings in such a way that I can't describe her beauty in a dictionary..."

Anthony seemed to let go of himself and poured out his feelings for Audrey, which made the corners of Earl Hall's eyes, who was sitting opposite him sipping black tea, twitch slightly, but the accustomed aristocratic etiquette still made him resist the urge to squirt out the black tea.

You kid, you've really become more and more presumptuous after you got the knighthood.

Before Anthony could continue, Earl Hall interrupted him.

"I told you before that although I don't want to interfere in Audrey's feelings, as a father, I must ensure that she can at least live a happy life in the future, and you have undoubtedly done this, and you have done it well."

"So I won't interfere with any more issues between you and Audrey, and as long as you have her approval, neither my mother nor I will have any objections."

Earl Hall said bluntly, which made Anthony raise his eyebrows, and a trace of joy welled up in his heart.

After two months of hard work, I finally overcame the "father-in-law" level.

Anthony still couldn't help but feel joyful, as if his efforts had paid off.

"Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Earl."

Anthony's eyes drooped slightly, and for some reason, he remembered the scene at the dinner party when Audrey invited him to dance with him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Perhaps, the price secretly marked by fate has actually been revealed a long time ago, but he has never been aware of it.

Anthony smiled more at the corner of his mouth, did not speak again, just put down the already empty teacup in his hand, and walked straight to the door under the puzzled eyes of Earl Hall.

Be cautious or bold, these were all his ideas on the whim of Anthony.

It was only after meeting Audrey for the first time that he had never changed and worked hard for that idea, and now only practical actions can turn the idea into reality.

Anthony pulled the door open, as if he had expected it, and hugged Audrey, who had fallen along the edge of the door, with a smile on his lips.

"Miss Audrey, eavesdropping is not a good habit."

With the ability of "resisting the wind", Anthony found Audrey hiding outside the door early in the morning, eavesdropping on his conversation with Earl Hall, but he didn't have enough courage to express his thoughts from the distance of the room.

But the realization just now made him understand that when two people are together, what is not necessarily needed is the accumulation of natural results, but also a sudden impulse.

Anthony, who had never chased a girl in his previous life and this life combined, plucked up his courage for the first time, but he still used the ability of "Faceling" to maintain his calmness on his expression, looking at Audrey, who was still a little flustered in his arms, said with a smile.

"Miss Audrey, me and Mr. Earl..."

"I didn't hear anything!"

Audrey, who reacted, even had a slight flush on her neck, and stood up from Anthony as soon as she pressed it, looked at her father in a panic, and quickly trotted out of the study.

At this time, her heart has become a mess of porridge, and eavesdropping is not something that a lady can do.

"The conversation..."

Anthony's unfinished words were stuck in his throat, and with an innocent look, he looked at Earl Hall, pointed in Audrey's direction, and signaled that he needed to leave first.

"Hmm..."

Earl Hall, who was still sitting in his chair, let out a long sigh in his heart and nodded helplessly.

As a person who has come over, he can't see that Audrey, the kid, is really interesting to Anthony, otherwise he wouldn't have shown such behavior.

It seems that his previous words are still redundant.

Looking at the back of Anthony who was also gone, Earl Hall glanced at the teacup in his hand, put it aside, and then picked up the ground coffee on the side and brewed it.

He now felt that he should drink some bitter coffee more than refreshing black tea.

Well... The unsweetened kind.

——

"Ahhh That guy... How could he say such a thing in front of his father! ”

Trotting all the way back to her room, Audrey smothered herself under the quilt and vented in her heart a voice that was extremely inconsistent with the image of a lady.

Although she has also received many expressions of love and confessions from aristocratic sons since she was a child, she has no feelings.

But this time, just hearing Anthony's praise of herself, Audrey felt that her cheeks were already red, even very hot.

If Anne is here at this moment, I am afraid that she will have to break her perception of Miss again.

"Tuk-tuk."

"Miss Audrey, are you there?"

Suddenly, Anthony's voice sounded outside the door, which made Audrey, who was stuffed in the quilt, panic, and wanted to open the door after being stunned for a few seconds, but when she got up, she saw her unkempt appearance because she was hiding in the quilt from the huge floor-to-ceiling mirror, and her pupils couldn't help but shrink.

This is completely inconsistent with the image of a lady!

Audrey was stunned for a second, then reorganized her hair as fast as she could in her life, put on makeup by the way, changed into a home dress again, and immediately opened the door carefully and nervously.

"Down... Good afternoon, Mr. Anthony. ”

Anthony's slightly stammering voice made Anthony a little laughing, and he stood at the door for a few minutes, and after seeing Audrey, who had become more delicate and beautiful, he suddenly understood why she hadn't opened the door for so long.

"Well, good afternoon, Miss Audrey, I have a favor that I would like you to help me, would you like to?"

Anthony smiled and approached Audrey.

Standing in front of Audrey, who is only 1.65 meters tall, he easily forced her to the position of the wall, and the tall shadow fell on the latter's face along the light, making her a little flustered.

What does Mr. Anthony want to do?

In the dreary atmosphere, Anthony tentatively reached out and pressed against the wall behind Audrey, trying to look down on the latter in a condescending manner.

But the long golden hair that immediately fell into sight, and the turquoise eyes with panic in confusion made him feel a little guilty.

Tut... I'm sinning.

originally wanted to use the theoretical experience of watching a lot of short videos in his previous life to wall-knock Audrey, making the atmosphere ambiguous, so as to make a final confession.

But when it came to practice, Anthony realized that he was thinking too much.

Without the filter of the couple's relationship, this behavior is somewhat embarrassing, but it doesn't affect it.

"Miss Audrey, I would like to ask you to help me take my place as my wife."

"Would you like to?"
