Hatchet line

Chapter 178 Jervis' fiancee?
"Miss Eliza, how is the British scenery? I haven't been there for a few years, and I miss the quiet atmosphere of the North Sea." Jervis knew exactly what his mother meant - to treat a young girl at this time Leave it to yourself to take care of...what else can it serve?His father kept saying that he had grown up and was almost old enough to take on the burden of the family.The Moi family is one of the most famous upper-class families in Germany. Do we still need to think about this arrangement?

"I heard it outside my father's study yesterday." Ignoring Jervis's question, Elisa suddenly said to herself: "I heard that they plan to get engaged to me, and the other party—" As she spoke, she Lifting those big eyes, and sweeping across Jervis's face, the eyes were cold, without any emotion, "Of course it is you, Mr. Jervis."

Jervis was slightly taken aback. He didn't understand what the girl wanted to say. Could it be that she wanted to tell himself that she didn't like him, so he had to take the initiative to refuse? "I haven't heard about this from my parents..." Jervis bowed slightly.

"It doesn't matter, they will announce it soon." Eliza didn't seem to care about Jervis's reaction. "I don't have any expectations about getting married or anything like that - I was born in this kind of family, this kind of family." There is no escape from fate. However, I personally have no objection to this kind of thing. Whether it is a man or a friend, they are all intertwined interests. Your family and my family have the same status and common interests. . You can rest assured that my actions will definitely be in line with my status, and I will be a decent wife in the future. I am very happy to meet you, my future husband, today." After saying that, Elisa raised her chin and stretched out her arms. out his right hand.

Jervis bent down and took the cold little hand.

After the two shook hands, Elisa, who looked like a snow beauty, bowed again, turned and left Jervis's side, and walked towards the direction where several girls gathered.

"Cut, that's why I said..." Seeing the girl walk away, Jervis whispered in a Chinese that no one except his own family could understand: "I hate this kind of people who don't know anything. Still pretending to be a little kid who sees through everything!"

After saying this, his face suddenly became a little lonely, and he continued to whisper to himself softly: "I clearly yearn for romance and love, but I have to pretend that I am ready to sacrifice everything for my family and identity. Even if They have to wear a mask when dealing with the people closest to them, pretending to know everything and see through everything. In fact, they don’t even know what they want most. Even a marriage of interest can produce real love. Love...well, it's better for those mature and sexy women~ They are only loyal to their own feelings, either as if nothing happened after a night, or they keep burning with passion until the two sides finally have no feeling..."

"Jervis, how is your chat with Elisa?" Father suddenly sneaked up behind Jervis with a glass of wine.

"She is very good and is a qualified fiancée candidate." Jervis replied without looking back.

"Jervis, you must know that although I will consider your marriage for the benefit of the family, it is not absolute." The father took a deep look at the son in front of him, "Jervis, if you have the heart The girl you like, your father will not object to your decision - the premise is that the girl loves you like you love her."

Jervis finally turned his head back and curled his lips: "Although I like those sexy and mature women, I haven't fallen in love with anyone so far, so you don't have to worry about it now."

"Jervis, are you really not in love with anyone?"

Jervis, who was about to bend down to pick up a piece of salmon, raised his head in confusion and asked his father, "What do you mean?"

"I heard...you have been in a cell before? I mean in the game."

"Yeah, so what?" Jervis frowned suspiciously. Manny's name was already in his friend list. He did tell Manny when he was in prison, but he didn't tell him that he was arrested. Which country's prison is he in—because he doesn't want to rely on realistic means to affect his game.

"I heard——your PK value was carried because of a girl?" His father looked at him meaningfully.

The corners of Jervis' mouth began to twitch. When did his father become so nosy? ? "so?"

"Jervis, you know? After you entered the game for a while... now it's not the same as before."

"It's different? Why don't I feel it?" He knew what his father wanted to say, so he teased his father with interest to say what he wanted to say.

"Maybe you don't feel it yourself, but you have definitely changed a bit. Maybe it's because of your friends in the game? Or women? I don't know, but I think..."

A figure appeared in Jervis's mind, it was a girl dressed in white: "You are worrying too much, I did make friends in the game. She is very straightforward, and I am very happy to be with her, but that's all. .”

"Jenny..." Jervis was taken aback by the change in his father's address. How many years has it been?It seems that since I passed my tenth birthday, I have never been called that by my father. "Jenny, you know? If you fall in love with someone, the best way is to keep her by your side. Your mother and I were not in the same family back then, so I can understand..."

"No need." Jervis interrupted his father lightly, and suddenly looked in the direction of his mother: "Father, I have a question."

"what is the problem?"

Looking at his mother who was pretending to socialize with a group of ladies, Jervis sighed softly: "When my mother first fell in love with you... she must have been very innocent, right? So pure that you fell in love with her wholeheartedly?"

"Yes..." Looking at his wife, his father's eyes showed incomparable tenderness.

"So simple that you don't know how to socialize with these high-class ladies, right?"

The latter question made his father speechless, and when he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Jervis, who looked directly into his father's eyes: "First of all, although I like that girl very much, I don't love her." For me, she may be my first and last good friend in this world. Secondly, even if I love her, I don't want to destroy her innocence and purity. Keep admiration and respect for a person Admiration doesn't necessarily mean you have to get her, right?"
