Holder Manor Secret

Vivienne and Andrew's trip was obviously very difficult. They never traveled together, let alone brought their children. Although George was very well-behaved, the long journey made him very uncomfortable. He was sleepy all day and could only lie in bed Sleeping in the maid's arms.

"I said I shouldn't have taken George with me!"

Andrew lost his temper at Vivian, "He's only three years old, how could he go so far away!"

Vivian didn't show any weakness, "This is Anna's wedding! All her family members must be present!"

"But George doesn't even remember her at all!"

"That's why he should go," Vivian was emotional, tears welling up in her eyes, "I don't want Anna and Almina to become his unknown distant relatives, we are a family, and we should take care of each other."

After the death of Baron Holder, Almina took Anna to Paris.They still corresponded, of course, but could never again share fresh bouquets, meals at the same table with dear sisters.Life in the country is not rich and colorful, and young women always spend a lot of time staying together and entertaining each other.

Vivienne's beauty and temper made her unpopular among the ladies and wives of Lyth.After marriage, the old-fashioned gentlemen also alienated her one after another.The proud Vivian had to devote all her heart and soul to Holder Manor, raising George, disciplining the servants, and quarreling with Andrew.

Andrew shut up.He reached out to stroke his wife's hair, to bring her some comfort.But Vivienne avoided, she pursed her lips, showing a stubborn expression.

They stopped talking.

Young love is always fanatical and intense, but young marriage is sour and difficult.It may not be too happy, but it is not unbearable.

Vivienne and Edward finally met at the last stop in Paris.

"Oh, Uncle Edward, you don't look well." Vivian said worriedly. "When we get to Paris, we must ask the doctor to see you."

"I'm fine." Edward declined.

"Edward!" George was carried out of the carriage by the maid, and before he put it down, he extended his hand to Edward.

He wanted Edward to hug him.

"Hello, my little gentleman." Edward hugged George intimately, kissed his hair and cheek, and George giggled.

Andrew came over and greeted Edward. "Seeing you, George is much happier."

"My pleasure."

Several people exchanged pleasantries and decided not to stay any longer.After dark, they finally arrived at the home of Hughes and Almina.

"My God..." Almina came out surrounded by the maids, her expression was very bad, and her hair was not neat enough, "You guys are here at this time, I really don't know what to do."

Almina's words were very ugly, and both Edward and Vivian felt a strong uneasiness.

Vivienne went up first and took Almina's hand, "What happened?" But she quickly said: "Don't worry, let's go in first. George is here too, he hasn't eaten anything yet something."

"Oh, oh, my George." Almina said repeatedly, "Quickly tell everyone in the kitchen to move, and make sure to prepare a sumptuous dinner for the guests."

Vivian supported Almina and entered the room first.Edward hugged George, and Andrew followed behind.

Vivian supported Almina to sit down in the small living room, and quickly ordered the servants to take care of everything, and then turned around and sat beside Almina. "Where's Hughes?"

"He's out on an errand," Almina whispered. "I'm sorry I couldn't entertain you well."

"Don't worry about us." Vivienne didn't care, "What about Anna, let her come over, you go back to your room to rest first. We'll talk tomorrow."

"Anna..." Almina frowned, holding her forehead, showing a painful and sad expression. "She ran away alone! I can't find him... My God, what should I do... She's an unmarried lady... My God..."

After the engagement was confirmed, Almina quickly sent a message to Reese Town, fearing that they would not be able to attend the wedding in time due to the long journey.Unexpectedly, Anna secretly ran out of the house alone in the middle of the night, not knowing where she went!Almina panicked all of a sudden, and she didn't dare to let others know, so she could only secretly send someone to look for her.

But Bivis, Anna's fiancé, soon found out about the news, and immediately announced the dissolution of the engagement.This incident quickly became the laughing stock of high society, and it may have to wait for the next escaped girl to appear before it can be covered up.Almina no longer goes out to socialize, but Anna has never been found.

"What should I do...Vivienne...what should I do?"

Almina cried bitterly on Vivienne's shoulder.Before Andrew and Edward had time to express their shock, they could only offer a few words of comfort in a gentle voice.

"Everything will be fine." Vivian said firmly.

Although Vivienne didn't think of any solution, she was really good at handling housework.Almina was put to sleep by her, and George was taken to the table to fill his stomach. "Gentlemen, we have to deal with this matter ourselves." Vivienne said to the two gentlemen, "Almina is about to give birth, and we must find Anna before returning to Rhys Town."

"Now, everyone, go back to your room and rest."

But no one could fall asleep.

Edward tossed and turned in the soft bedding, thinking about Anna, about Vincent, what she should do, what they should do.Anna can no longer marry Bivis, and she can't even marry the whole of Paris.She had to get out of here, they should take Anna away, and let her live anew in the distant town of Rees, where she would have a husband who loved her, land with crops, and children close to her.She will live and die where she was born.

And he and Vincent could spend the rest of their lives together in Brook Manor.

He didn't think about what would happen if he couldn't find Anna.

He didn't think about what it would be like to meet Vincent again.

In the end, Edward could only hold the coin tightly, keep his eyes open, and wait for the day to come.

Hughes appeared the next afternoon, and after a few gentlemen exchanged pleasantries, Hughes invited them to Paris. "We can see if anyone can help." Andrew readily agreed, but Edward hesitated.

"Are you uncomfortable?" Hughes asked with concern.

"No, it's not." Edward couldn't refuse, "It's really a good idea."

He set off apprehensively.

Paris.

Paris that is always prosperous, Paris that is always luxurious, Paris that is always dirty.

Edward's initial love and initial pain all came from this.

"Is this any different from when you came here?" Sitting in the carriage, Hughes greeted Edward gracefully.Compared with three years ago, he is richer and more stable.

The constant flood of memories terrified Edward, "Yes, too much has changed." He replied vaguely.

Andrew was full of curiosity about Paris, and chatted with Hughes.

Pedestrians outside the carriage, the scene of constant retreat, countless buildings, countless streets, countless men and women.These distant and familiar sights struck Edward's eyes, his body, and his soul.

No.

This city, Paris, Paris, Paris forever, Paris that never changes.

He has come and gone Paris.

The carriage stopped at the gate of a building.

"There is a meeting today, and many people of high status are gathered here. Maybe someone inside can help us."

Hughes said.

Andrew looked very excited, followed Hughes and walked in quickly.Edward was last, and he almost wanted to run away.However, a strong sense of responsibility drives him to move forward.

For Anna.

He muttered to himself.

For Anna.

Edward finally walked in, he was about to regret it, and he was about to be grateful for it.
