Lady Sarah sat on the sofa in the living room, holding hands together, and beside her stood the housekeeper of the Jimenez family.

Her outfit was not gorgeous, because she had come to see Rand's grandfather, and she should have put away her style in front of him, not show it, otherwise it would only leave a bad impression on the old man.

Her expression was slightly apprehensive, and she was thinking for a moment what she should say to Monsieur Jimenez.

Then she heard footsteps coming from the staircase, and the butler standing beside her bowed, and she hurriedly stood up.

Walking down the stairs was a silver-haired old man, and he could still vaguely see the demeanor of his youth, which should have been a handsome man with great charm.

"Mr. Jimenez. Lady Sarah calmed down.

"Hello, please be seated. Jimenez said politely, and then he waved his hand, and the butler looked at Lady Sarah knowingly.

"Don't be nervous, you're my guest today, I'll let him arrange a little snack, which one do you like?" Jimenez said gently.

Lady Sarah was slightly dazed, the current situation did not match what she had feared before she came, and she was worried in vain.

"Fine, I mean I don't have any special hobbies. Lady Sarah stammered a little when she heard her voice, and felt ashamed to death, and finally added inexplicably: "Actually, I will make him a little cake at home." ”

"Okay, let's have the cake. Jimenez commanded.

The housekeeper was gone, and the second living room of the Jimenez house was empty, and now it was just the two of them.

Lady Sarah calmed down, and Jimenez's softness brought her back to her usual state.

"Is there anything you want to tell me about Rand?" Jimenez smiled.

"Yes. Lady Sarah said.

"I know your relationship with him, and it seems that it is not a trivial matter for you to take the initiative to come to the door and talk to me about him, please tell me. Jimenez said.

"Me. I'm so worried about Rand right now that I'm going to have to turn to you for help, and I'm sure only you can help him. Lady Sarah plucked up her courage.

Jimenez said with an unchanged expression: "It seems that my child is in trouble, but not long ago he came back to live in the house for a while, and then said that he was worried about you and left again, but he never told us that he was in trouble. And Jimenez is rarely in trouble, so that's why this trouble came about?"

Lady Sarah nodded, "He's been in a strange state lately, something is not normal, I was worried that something had happened to him, but he told me it was okay, but I still can't help but worry." He used to lock himself up in our bedroom by himself, and wouldn't let me go in and disturb him. At first I thought he was thinking about something important or meditating on a mage, but he ignored me for a long time. I stole into him as if he was arguing with someone, but there was no sound, as if there was an opponent in front of him, and he was fighting with them, but he always lost. ”

Saraf compared some of the scenes she had secretly seen, her own conjectures, and the previous Rand, and told Mr. Jimenez in one go.

"That's it. I knew I shouldn't have come to you, but I couldn't help but worry that something would happen to him. And I'm just a poor guy attached to him, if anything really happens to him. I couldn't help him, the only help I could think of was his father and grandfather. Lady Sarah said, her mood tense again. All along, she knew that her identity would definitely not be accepted by the Jimenez family, so she was only satisfied with Randken's nostalgia for her. Life is worry-free, and your daughter can grow up safely.

But coming to the door like this makes it impossible for the Jimenez family to be in the absence of her, which is not necessarily a good thing for her, because the risk is quite high. It is likely that the two Gentlemen Jimenez will be angry enough to let her leave Rand, and Rand feels that she will not be able to win if she has to choose between her and her family.

It is conceivable how long she encouraged herself before she came, but she was really worried about Rand, so she still felt that she needed to come, even if she lost a lot of things afterwards, but she couldn't watch Rand possibly have an accident and ignore it, not to mention the care of Rand for almost a year, just without Rand in the ice sea, the mother and daughter are no longer in the world.

"Father, don't worry too much. Little Jimenez's voice rang out, and he appeared at the staircase, and walked down slowly, just now he had just stood upstairs listening and had not come down, but now he had come down.

"Rand is supposed to be using the Arcane Skynet to communicate with people. Little Jimenez glanced at Lady Sarah and continued to explain to his father, "I also studied magic for a while, and then I couldn't further my studies because I had to take over the family business, but I know some things about the arcane Skynet, and he should be communicating with people. If you don't believe me, wait until Fei Naxue returns from her parents' house and ask her. ”

"Really?" said Lady Sarah, who breathed a sigh of relief, for she was so worried, and little Mr. Jimenez reassured her a little.

Old Jimenez said to her, "In any case, I thank you very much for revealing this to us. Well, if there is any news about him in the future, you can still come and tell us, the child is older, sometimes there are some things he doesn't want to say in front of us, but if you tell us privately, we can help him definitely not refuse. ”

"Okay. Lady Sarah suddenly realized something after she spoke, and she lost her voice, "Later?"

Her face was filled with joy and sorrow, and it was difficult to control her emotions, for Mr. Jimenez would undoubtedly say that she would be allowed to be with Rand in the future.

"Of course, this does not mean that you can be the third generation of Jimenez's wife, I must tell you honestly. Old Jimenez looked at Lady Sarah with a little pity, for he could not have given her any illusions at this point, "The idea in it must be understood that Rand's future must marry a woman of a certain status, even if he does not love her, but it will help him. ”

"Yes, I understand. Lady Sarah did not cry, even though Jimenez had given her an unexpected surprise just now, but she was sober and clear. This simply means that the Jimenez family can acquiesce to her continued existence as a mistress, rather than enter the Jimenez family in the future, which are two completely different things.

But it was already a bonus, and it seemed that Rand's worries were unwarranted.

Little Jimenez frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but old Jimenez had a look in his eyes to stop him. Then the chestnut cream cake and juice were brought up, and old Jimenez politely invited Lady Sarah to enjoy it.

Lady Sarah picked up the cake and swallowed it carefully, her mood now relaxed and happy.

Old Jimenez continued to talk to her, asking her about Rand's usual behavior.

Lady Sarah was completely unwary and worried at this time, and told all that she knew about Rand's condition, and in order to make the old man in front of her feel that he was sincere and grateful, she even told Rand that he had been going to the workers often lately.

This conversation was not interrupted until the second housekeeper who went down accompanied a person in.

"Sarah, are you really here?" Rand's voice rang out.

He strode into the living room. Look at the calm grandfather and the father with a somewhat gloomy gaze, and Lady Sarah who is eating pastry.

"I'm sorry, Rand, I, I came to your house without your permission. Lady Sarah stood up in a panic, the cake in her hand, she didn't know whether to put it down or not, "I'm worried about your recent state. I'm scared, I thought something was wrong with you. But I didn't let me know, so I had to ask for help. ”

Rand shook his head, the expression on his face was a little helpless, he raised his hands over his shoulders and said, "It seems that I've been too involved lately and made you worry, but I'm fine." There are some things you don't understand. I'm not blaming you, I'm just worried about their reaction. ”

He looked at his grandfather and father as if he were bravely facing the judgment.

"Rand. Little Jimenez said a little angrily.

But before he could continue, old Jimenez smiled, "What are you worried about? Are you worried that we will be bad for her? But you see, we are very polite to her. She had a very good conversation with us just now, but you barged her in like this. ”

"Me. Rand looked to both sides, "I'm glad you're accepting of her presence. ”

"Miss Sarah is a person who knows how to be grateful, and her relationship with you has just been spoken to us, and I have spoken to her about our attitude. Okay, Rand, you've been out there enough, and I've allowed you to go to her in the future, but you can't continue like this for a long time, you have to come back, come back home, because we need you, and it's time for you to officially enter the heart of the Jimenez family's business. Jimenez said.

He turned to Lady Sarah and said, "You don't have to worry, he can still go to see you, even if he can't come because he is busy, your mother and daughter's life will not be a problem, but I hope you understand that he is a man, and it is time to focus on his career." ”

"I understand, Mr. Jimenez. Lady Sarah looked at Rand a little helplessly, this was already the best result, for her, neither forced her to leave Rand, but also allowed Rand to continue to be with her secretly in the future, but it was impossible to be together every day like now, Rand needed to take over the family's business.

Rand sighed and said to Lady Sarah, "You go back first, I'll see you again tomorrow, I have something to talk to them about." ”

Mrs. Sarah said goodbye in a witty way, she was inexplicably a little worried, she felt that Rand seemed to have something important to say to his grandfather and father, but she couldn't think of it for a while, even her own matter was solved, what else did Rand need to tell his family very solemnly?

"Looks like you have something else important, come to my study. After Lady Sarah left, Jimenez addressed her son and grandson.

After coming to the study, little Jimenez finally couldn't help but say: "Rand, that is a woman who has a history of marriage, and being with her for a long time will hinder your reputation." Also, I don't understand why you, father, would agree to allow this woman to continue to exist. ”

"Enough. Jimenez said majestically, "As for this woman, I have said that she is not qualified and cannot be the mistress of the Jimenez house, but since Rand likes it, and she can be so brave that she may never see Rand again, I have changed my mind." ”

"But I suppose you have something more important to say to us?" asked Jimenez to his grandson.

"Yes, I have something to say to you, I want to say, I don't want to go back home and take over more things at your beheels. Rand smiled wryly.

"Why?Rand, I thought you were a little more mature when you came back, I didn't expect you to let us down like this, do you know what you're talking about?

"Don't be angry. Old Jimenez said, frowning at Rand and asking, "Can you tell me why?"

Rand sighed, but his eyes were firm, "I don't want to exploit and oppress others. (To be continued.) )
