[Zongmeiying] Soul Mate

Everything else went well for the rest of the week, the weather was fine and mild, the revisions were going well, Arthur had won another friendly, and even Lady Mortimer hadn't given any extra homework.

There was only one thing that was a bit embarrassing. Elizabeth sighed for the third time and put down the powder puff in her hand.

She looked up at herself in the mirror. The familiar face looked a little pale because she hadn't applied blush, and her emerald green eyes were shining.

Suddenly, the ears caught some small footsteps, which were especially obvious in the quiet room. Instead of panicking, Elizabeth smiled. She was still looking directly at the mirror, and soon saw Caius appearing behind her.

She understood that he could appear anywhere quietly, but in order not to scare her, she deliberately made some noise.

"These things can't add color to you at all." A cold and lingering kiss fell on the back of the neck, and Elizabeth felt his hand gently climbed up the neck and lifted her chin.

Caius' powerful observation and perception carefully scanned everything about Elizabeth, from her soft outline to the warm heartbeat, it was obvious that everything was fine, she was still perfect and just right.

Although he only wore a simple black suit today, Caius' unique temperament and charm could not be hidden at all, and even made this slightly ordinary clothes compared to his usual attire low-key and luxurious.

"I have to let Grandpa know how special you are to me." Elizabeth turned her face and kissed the hard knuckles of his fingers.

From the wide open door of the bathroom, you can see the setting sun disappearing a little bit. Elizabeth turned on the phone screen to check the time, then took a deep breath nervously, and said softly, "It's time for you to go downstairs and knock on the door."

Seeing her face as if she was facing a big enemy made Caius feel cute on the one hand, and on the other hand, it was unbelievable that he was also a little nervous now. This kind of emotion has not appeared for thousands of years. If Ah Luo is unfortunately here, and he will laugh out loud.

No matter what he thought in his heart, Caius didn't show any emotion on his face. Finally, he left a kiss on Elizabeth's slightly curly long hair, and he disappeared instantly.

Hope everything goes well tonight.

Elizabeth quickly finished her blush and smiled at herself in the mirror.

"So you're from Italy."

The formal dinners at the Alvas' house stuck to the traditional order, and after the awkward appetizers and soup, before the ravioli that had been specially prepared for Caius was served, Harry broke the ice by asking a question he already knew the answer to.

"Yes." Caius cast a soothing glance at Elizabeth. So far, he has performed very well. The perfect dining etiquette, calm and cautious attitude, and the noble temperament of the obvious family have somehow made Harry Satisfied, but at the same time, his overly outstanding appearance and inadvertently exuded a powerful aura that seemed to be out of line with his age made him uneasy.

Harry is 68 this year. To be modest, as a well-known lawyer in the United States, he has met many so-called upper-class people. In today's world that advocates equality for everyone, he still maintains the so-called aristocracy. Even if it is an old and pretentious family, he has never seen them raise a child like Caius.

He noticed that every movement of Caius seemed to be measured by a precise ruler, and he kept it at the most pleasing angle; the corners of his mouth were slightly raised too perfectly, which neutralized the sharp beauty; Low-key ready-to-wear, Harry can definitely say that this is not a tailored suit from Savile Row, without the slightest attitude of showing off wealth.

But he just sat here so seemingly modestly and quietly, but it gave Harry a premonition that he was approaching an enemy. This feeling didn't even come from the blessing of any external object, but from himself. His existence itself emphasized A fact - he's more... powerful.

A strong control has spread since he entered this room, and now any stranger who walks in and wants to inform them of something will choose to report to Caius, as if he has gained leadership by virtue of his own existence, Calmly showing an admirable willpower and strength, Harry can truly say that he is hiding under the calm water, and what is revealed now is just the tip of the iceberg.

Only when he looked at Elizabeth, the terrifying power would recede a little.

Because when his eyes turned to Elizabeth, it seemed extremely difficult to look away. Anyone with eyes could see this kind of reluctance. At least at this moment, Harry couldn't help but admit that he I love my precious granddaughter deeply.

"Glad you've joined the community, but may I ask, how long will you be living here?" Harry decided not to mince words.

"It depends on Elizabeth." Caius put down the tableware gracefully, looked at Harry solemnly and sincerely, and said, "As long as she is safe and happy, I will follow her wherever she goes."

Harry was a little confused when he heard this sentence. He couldn't see anything from Caius' serious face, so he turned his questioning eyes to Elizabeth.

"Hehe..." Elizabeth smiled awkwardly, her tone was a bit high, so she had to cough twice, and Caius held her hand silently.

"Yes...he will go anywhere with me." Elizabeth held his hand instead, and the smirk on her face became real.

"I love him, Grandpa... as truly as my father loved my mother, and I'm glad he returned the same affection to me."

Harry frowned slightly, his eyes searched the faces of the two 'young people' in front of him, and finally didn't say anything more about their relationship, people in love are irrational, he doubted how much he would ask The sentence question will go deep into marriage.

So in the following time they had tentative conversations around art and culture, and Harry could further confirm that Caius was well-informed, a very good and charming person, coupled with an appearance that completely matched Elizabeth's taste, There was no doubt that he could win her heart.

The meeting ended fairly smoothly, and Caius said goodbye before it was too late. Anyway, now he has successfully crossed the road with Harry.

After talking to her grandfather and uncle the housekeeper, Elizabeth couldn't wait to go back to her room to wash her face and change her clothes. She was relieved to see Caius and Harry, the two most important people to her, living in harmony.

The window glass was knocked lightly, Elizabeth walked out of the bathroom with light steps, and saw Caius sitting relaxed on the high window sill, his long legs stepped on the floor without any pressure, he closed his eyes slightly, His pale skin shone with warm yellow light under the light, making him look more human.

When Elizabeth got close enough, Caius opened his eyes, stretched out an arm towards her, and gazed at her tenderly with his ruby ​​eyes.

Elizabeth walked into his arms familiarly, leaning her face against the strong chest in the open neckline, "Have you changed your clothes?" She asked worriedly.

"It's nothing." Caius hugged her tightly, his voice was gorgeous and steady, "Your presents are all here."

Without waiting for Elizabeth to continue asking, he protected her neck, fell backwards, and fell into the beautiful night.

When Elizabeth realized it, she was already standing in front of the "storage room" that Caius had prepared for her. The porch of the villa was brightly lit. Elizabeth saw Jane standing at the door, and she smiled at her in surprise, but Jane didn't try to approach, Instead, he bowed slightly to them in a responsive manner, and disappeared instantly as soon as he opened the door.

The interior of this villa has been completely redecorated. The theme is brilliant gold. It combines the Greek-style design style of high and wide space with the complicated and gorgeous Indian style. There are regular partitions with bead curtains everywhere, and precious oil paintings are hung on the walls. , The soft couches, which are extremely comfortable at first glance, are placed around them. They are cleverly matched with low tables. Jewelry and snacks on the table seem to be piled up in a mess, illuminated by exquisitely carved candles.

"Your computer and other things in Volterra have been moved upstairs, and part of the wardrobe..."

Elizabeth kissed Caius's lips straightforwardly. She was not lacking in these things, but his meticulous care for her made her unable to remain unmoved.

"I like it very much." She smiled softly.

Caius held Elizabeth's face cherishingly, and gently stroked her bright red and full lips with his fingers, "But you love your family more."

"Once transformed, your human identity will no longer be open and aboveboard, and it will be no different from death."

His words made Elizabeth bow her head thoughtfully. Being transformed meant leaving her grandfather and uncle the housekeeper. She was indeed reluctant, but she never expressed it in front of Caius. She didn't expect him to bring it up tonight.

"Don't worry, if you don't want to be transformed so quickly, you still have countless options and time." Caius comforted her gently despite his reluctance.

Elizabeth shook her head, she held Caius' wrist tightly, and answered irrelevantly, "I never told you the story of my parents."

Caius turned his face slightly, waiting patiently for the next sentence.

"They also met in Italy." There was a warm nostalgia in her emerald green eyes.

"The sunny Amalfi Coast not only has pure limoncello, but also the most romantic people."

"My mother is a reporter and travels around the world all year round to collect news, while my father is a lawyer and goes there for an inheritance lawsuit."

"She played for a day, and before the sunset completely dissipated, she came to the wishing pool and threw a coin, asking the gods for the lover of this life... Then she looked up and saw my father."

"This is a great way to meet, isn't it? This is how a fairy tale begins." Elizabeth said happily, "If we are all human beings, maybe we will also meet in the brilliant sunset like them."

"They became husband and wife within 3 months, and I had me in the second year, and then...they left this world together." The smile gradually disappeared, and the bitterness of memories filled her brows.

"Time flies too fast, and accidents can happen at any time."

"I don't want you to sacrifice for me anymore." Elizabeth looked firmly into Caius' bright red eyes, "I understand your uneasiness about my human identity, and I also know the attraction of blood to you. For my family and friends, but they left me and still have their own lives... As promised, change me when I go to Dartmouth."

"I love you and I would die for you."
