"No, you may have misunderstood, I am not his wife or companion." Valletta said coldly.

But what she said was automatically translated into another meaning in the butler's ears.

The housekeeper thought that the female companion Miles brought back was just too embarrassed to openly talk about her relationship with Miles, or that Young Master Miles hadn't progressed to that stage yet.

Anyway, no matter what, the butler thinks that Master Donald will be very happy when he sees the female companion that Master Miles brought back.

I don’t know what kind of enchanting soup the young master originally met in East Asia gave him. The young master has been thinking about her for decades. Now that the young master is finally willing to bring a noble lady home, he must be very happy.

"Oh, I'm really sorry, this beautiful lady, I was rude just now and didn't ask for your name." The butler also realized that he had just made a mistake and asked Valletta's name.

"My name is Valletta."

To be honest, Valletta doesn't want to pay attention to this group of "ghosts" who are bound by feudal ideas.

But out of politeness and the ladylike manners Valletta had learned, she still gave her name.

"Oh, beautiful lady, is your name Valletta? What a beautiful name. I haven't asked you which family you are from..."

"That's enough. Take me to see my father. I have something to tell him." Miles couldn't listen anymore. He took a step forward to block the butler's view of Valletta.

"Of course it's no problem, Master Miles and Ms. Valletta, please." The butler immediately turned aside, asked Miles and Valletta to get into the carriage, and then got into the carriage himself.

(In Europe, if a large family has a dedicated coachman, the housekeeper does not need to drive the coach and can sit in the carriage with him.)

Miles was silent all the way.

The housekeeper originally thought that Valletta and Miles would not be as reserved in the carriage as they were outside, but he did not expect that the two of them would just sit normally, keeping an appropriate distance.

The butler couldn't say anything about this, because he was just a butler and couldn't interfere too much with his master's affairs.

Soon, the carriage arrived at the Donald's mansion.

The butler went down first and opened the car door for Miles and Valletta.

Miles got down immediately, and at the same time reached out his hand to help Valletta. After all, Miles knew that Valletta's limbs were all prosthetic limbs, not to mention that Valletta was still wearing a long skirt, so she might not be able to get off the carriage easily.

"Thank you." Valletta thanked her politely and put her hand on Miles's, asking him to help her get out of the carriage.

This scene looks very ambiguous to the uninformed, but in the eyes of the housekeeper who has been in the aristocratic circle for many years, it is just the etiquette of an ordinary gentleman towards a lady.

(This is true. In the aristocratic circles of Europe in the Middle Ages, men got off the carriage first, and then stretched out their hands to help the women get out. After all, their big skirts had three layers inside and three outside, and there were things like bustles inside. , it must be difficult to walk. Anyone who gets off the carriage or down the steps must be supported by someone.)

But what happened next made the housekeeper happy, because Miss Valletta pressed her face close to Master Miles's cheek.

From the butler's perspective, Valletta kisses Miles as a thank you. It seems their relationship is not going nowhere.

Of course, this is just from the perspective and thoughts of the butler.

In fact it is…

Valletta took advantage of the gap between Miles to help her get out of the carriage, leaned close to Miles' ear, and asked.

"Do you need me to come in?"

There is a reason why Valletta asked this. After Miles goes in, he will definitely have a very fierce quarrel with his father. If something happens then, Valletta will be there next to him. There is a anaphora.

"No, it's not necessary. Just stay here and help me find a new carriage. I'll leave as soon as we finish talking. I will never miss you." Miles whispered in Valletta's ear.

Miles has seen clearly that this home is completely rotten from top to bottom, and the gorgeous exterior cannot hide the rotten and twisted interior underneath.

Instead of doing this, it is better to get out of here as soon as possible.

Valletta nodded and stood there under the curious eyes of the housekeeper, watching Miles enter the mansion.

After Miles and the housekeeper entered, Valletta immediately went to the street to find a new carriage.

In fact, it is not difficult to find a new carriage, because there are many places for renting carriages on the street, which are similar to modern taxis.

Sure enough, Valletta quickly found the place near the carriage station (taxi terminal).

But of course, Valletta's strange appearance here attracted the attention of all the grooms.

It’s not that Valletta’s appearance is so strange, but who has ever seen a lady dressed as an aristocrat entering a carriage station that would only be informed by a servant?

You must know that those nobles avoid this dirty place.

"I need a carriage." Valletta said slowly under the gaze of the crowd.

Although the coachmen still thought it was strange that Valletta would come to such a place, it did not diminish their enthusiasm for making money at all.

Soon, Valletta found a pretty good carriage.

The main reason is that most of the carriages here are open-top, only his carriage is not, and it looks pretty good.

"Take me to the Donald's mansion." After saying that, Valletta threw a gold coin to the coachman and got on the carriage.

Of course, the groom who saw the gold coin didn't even think twice and drove Valletta to the Donald's mansion just now.

"Already arrived, ma'am." The coachman said from the front of the car and planned to come down and open the door for Valletta.

"Wait here, I need to pick up one more person." Valletta's voice said from the carriage behind.

After hearing what Valletta said, the coachman stopped asking any more questions.

……ten minutes later……

Miles finally emerged, carrying a suitcase and paper clutched tightly in his hands.

Miles saw Valletta sticking her head out of the carriage window and getting on the carriage without thinking.

"Let's go first." Valletta said to the coachman when she saw that Miles had come up.

He said he was leaving first, but the coachman didn't know which coachman he was going to first, but he still drove on.

"Are you okay?" Valletta asked, looking at Miles.

To be honest, Miles looked very bad. He seemed to have just experienced a very fierce quarrel, and the root of his neck was still red.

The hand he was holding tightly to the paper had white fingertips and his whole hand was trembling slightly. He didn't know whether it was from nervousness, excitement, or from exerting too much force.

"I'm fine, Miss Valletta. I'm sorry for making you worry. I just...just...feel like I'm finally free." After saying that, Miles leaned back on the cushion behind him.

Miles put an arm across his face. He didn't want Valletta to see his expression at this moment.

"Miss Valletta, do you think I am a failure? As a son, I failed. I disappointed my father and left the family. As a husband, I failed. I failed to protect Michiko. As a son, I failed. As a father, I failed, I didn't even know Natasha's birth." Miles's voice gradually choked up, and he covered his eyes with his arm, not wanting tears to flow down.

"In order not to disappoint my father, I worked hard to learn how to manage the family and how to please my father. I even joined the army for meritorious service, but the result was this. In order to make Michiko happy, I kept trying to please my father. , to please the family, but Michiko left my side forever."

Miles kept talking. He felt that his life was a joke. The people he tried so hard to protect left him one after another.

"Miss Valletta..." Miles slowly lowered his arm and said in a tired tone like Valletta, "Can you tell me more about Natasha? I want to get to know her well."

"of course can."

...............

The carriage driver really didn't know what the noble gentleman and lady sitting in his carriage wanted to do? ! I have already walked around the town for almost the third time!

But in fact, during this period of time, Valletta had been telling Miles Natasha's experience in detail.

Valletta talked about what happened when Natasha was still in Lakeview Village, and then talked about Natasha escaping from Lakeview Village with the help of Serge, and then the two of them came to the Noisy Circus. , met Valletta and others there, and everyone performed together.

Miles had been listening silently. He couldn't believe that his daughter had almost experienced the same thing as Michiko, but fortunately she escaped.

Originally, Miles was very grateful to Serge for helping his daughter, until he heard Valletta say that Serge had domestically abused Natasha.

"Is this true? Ms. Valletta, that bastard actually dared to domestically abuse my daughter... Domestic violence Natasha?!" Miles said bitterly, wishing to tear the bastard into pieces on the spot.

"Yes, Mr. Miles, during that time I could hear Natasha's screams in the tent almost every day." Valletta just told the facts calmly.

"That bastard!" Miles clenched his fists.

He could guarantee that if that guy Sergi stood in front of him, he would definitely return Natasha's injuries to him.

"Don't get excited, Mr. Miles. Just listen to me." Valletta patted Miles on the shoulder to tell him to calm down.

"I understand, I'm sorry, Miss Valletta, please continue." Miles tried his best to suppress his anger.

At the same time, when the anger gradually subsided and reason returned, Miles immediately noticed something.

Miles thought about the things he had investigated in Lakeview Village, and it made sense. The blond man who ran away with Natasha in the missing person notice was the bastard named Serge.

From this point of view, the direction of Myers' investigation was very correct.

As Valletta watched Miles gradually return to reason, she continued to talk about what happened next.

Valletta continued, speaking.

She said that Serge had domestically abused Natasha for a long time, until that day, before Natasha, and even before Valletta, the senior Juke happened to follow Viscount Baden, and the two children of God. Together we returned to the noisy circus to watch the show.

What Valletta said next was not as exaggerated as the stories Miles heard every day during worship in the auditorium, but it was similar.

"So was that the first time Natasha and Jack met?" Miles asked.

"Yeah, pretty much."

Valletta continued, she said, until later, another woman, Cogan, came to the manor.

Corgan's arrival gave Natasha a lot of courage, so on that day, Natasha decided to resist Serge's atrocities.

Natasha and Cogan beat Sergi with weapons together, but in the end the strength of the two women could not match the strength of Sergi, a violent man. Later, it was other men in the manor who arrived and rescued Natasha. Tasha.

"Is she okay?" Miles asked anxiously. Although he knew that Natasha was definitely fine as of now, he still couldn't help but ask Valletta.

"Of course she's fine. Don't be nervous and listen to me."

Valletta said that it was on that day that Jack saved Natasha. From that day on, the relationship between the two of them continued to grow steadily until they later confirmed their relationship.

"Their relationship has always been very good. Natasha loves Qiu Ke very much, and Qiu Ke also loves Natasha very much, and is strong enough to protect her. Their love has always been the envy of everyone in the manor. ." Valletta couldn't help but put her hands on her cheeks and said, she really longed for a love like Natasha and Juke.

"Is that so? That's great." Miles couldn't help but whispered.

Even though Miles had been prepared in advance, he still couldn't imagine the horrific things his daughter Natasha had experienced.

First, I lived in such a terrible small fishing village, facing life threats every moment.

Later, I met someone unkind again, and met that hateful bastard.

But fortunately, the final result was good, and Natasha is very happy now.

Fortunately, fortunately, Natasha was brave enough to resist.

From this point of view, what I did seems to be nothing.

Just like Natasha, she knows that the small fishing village is a place that eats people, and she knows that Serge is a hateful scumbag. She resisted bravely.

Since my children are so brave, what right do I have as a father to remain depressed?

suddenly!

A voice interrupted their thoughts.

"Sir and madam, I've already circled the town for the fourth time. Have you decided where to go?" The coachman sitting in front couldn't help but asked. It would be dark if we continued around the town.

"Go to the train station," Miles said to the coachman.

The next second after confirming the destination, the coachman drove his horse in the direction of the train station.

"Where are you going?" Valletta asked.

"To the future."
