Holder Manor Secret

Edward soon fell into the abyss of desire.

Vincent visited him frequently and stayed overnight at Brook Manor.They mingled together all day and all night, leaving behind the mess after their pleasure in the bedroom, in the study, in the forest, where the servants were not allowed to enter.

The enthusiasm and warmth of the young people made Edward unable to extricate himself, making him immersed in the joy of being loved.Vincent was full of energy, and Edward occasionally felt that his physical strength could not keep up. However, Vincent was too good at talking about love, which easily made Edward dizzy and did as he wanted.

But on the other hand, like Hughes, Vincent is also very popular with ladies.Although the social season is not here yet, for women of the right age, every day needs to be cherished-they don't have much time.As the only ducal family nearby, gentlemen often visit with their wives and daughters.Edward sometimes took the initiative to find Vincent, not many times, but every time he met the ladies and ladies who were already drinking tea.

Vincent did not mention to Edward when he would marry and what kind of lady he would marry.Yet this is really obvious.As the Duke's sole heir, Vincent will marry one day.He needs an heir to continue his title and wealth.

Edward pulled Vincent's collar and pressed his lips to his.

"What's wrong?" Vincent was at a loss.

"Nothing," Edward licked his lips lightly, "just want to kiss you."

"That's all."

While shaking, Edward looked at the top of the bed in a daze, red, golden, and extravagant colors.

Enjoy a moment of pleasure, then pull away.

This distorted relationship started with sexual desire, naturally it will not last long, and there is no position to ask anything.

He is an elder after all.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter, but gentlemen and ladies are still wearing complicated clothes.Mary's stomach has also become bigger, and it is very inconvenient to travel.She is already old, and her pregnancy caused her emotional fluctuations to be very violent, but her body gradually weakened, and she had to stay in bed.When Edward arrived when he received the news, she had been lying in bed for two days.

"Oh, ma'am," Edward said, coming to Mary's room, with her hair loose and her face plain, looking very pale.The personal maid stood aside, wiping the sweat off her face.

"Come here, Edward. Stand by my side and talk." Mary stretched out her hand to Edward, and Edward quickly grabbed it. "I feel bad this time, it hurts everywhere, I can't eat, and I can't sleep all night."

Edward repeatedly comforted: "It's okay madam, it's okay. Everything will be fine. The doctor said you will be fine."

Mary wiped Edward's face with her free hand, for he had come in a hurry and it was a hot day. "I'm not sure, Edward."

She was like a withering bouquet, slowly losing its bright colors. "I'm not afraid of death, I'm just worried about my daughters. And you, Edward, what should you do?"

Edward could only hold her hand tighter. "Madam, you will be well, I assure you."

Mary smiled wearily, and then said to the maid: "Lucy, go and pour me a glass of brandy." After the maid left, she said to Edward: "My dear cousin, I am calling you this time, It is to get rid of you. This may be my last wish, please promise me."

"If I die, please be sure to facilitate the marriage of Almina and Vivian. You don't have to care about Anna's affairs. Her two older sisters are well married, so they will naturally help her."

Mary was still frail, but very serious, and even called Edward an honorific.Her expression was also very determined, as if she really expected her own death.

Edward wanted to ask her if something happened, but Mary was unwilling to say, but asked Edward to agree to her request. "Lucy is coming up soon. I don't have time to go into details. Please promise me."

Edward had no choice but to nod in agreement.

Mary needed a break, and Edward was promptly called out.He and Baron Holder talked about Mary's condition in the small living room. Edward expressed that he wanted to go to the city to ask a doctor to come and see him, but Baron Holder said, "It's very unnecessary. Dr. Smith has been my family doctor for a long time. , he knows Mary's condition better than the doctors in the city."

Dr. Smith is more than 40 years old this year. He has worked in Holder Manor since his father, and passed the position to his son after his father got old.Edward's last fever had been attended by Dr. Smith.He has excellent medical skills and keeps his master's affairs tight-lipped.Edward had asked around, wondering if Dr. Smith had found out that he had sex with men, but had been unable to ask anything.

Baron Holder was not very concerned about Mary's condition, and still went out to attend various gatherings.Although the sun is hot, there is a coolness in the night, so there are still many parties.As the only nobleman in this area, he used to dominate the affairs of the entire parish. Now the arrival of the Duke's family has made Baron Holder much more relaxed, allowing him to indulge in his sensuality.

Mary's illness not only affected the normal operation of Holder Manor, but also limited the communication between Almina and Vivienne-they could hardly go anywhere without the company of older women.As the eldest daughter, Almina had to start managing the house and taking care of Anna.She didn't do so well, however.The servants began to relax, and murmured that the Baroness would soon die.Almina asked the housekeeper to discipline her well, but the effect was not obvious.

Once, two maids chatted while tidying up the room, saying that the lady was dying, but none of the ladies were married.Especially Anna, who has no elders and no dowry, will definitely be married to an inferior person casually in the future.

Anna heard this and ran out crying.After Almina found out that she was not there, she wanted to search all over the manor, but was stopped by Edward. "Anna is a lady after all," Edward asked the two nieces to wait at home. "No one should know about this, otherwise Anna's reputation will be damaged. I will bring her back, I promise."

Vivienne shook Almina's hand and nodded to Edward, "Then please, Uncle Edward."

Almina blames herself very much. She has read a lot of books and understands a lot of truths, but she always dismisses her mother's teachings.She always thinks that her mother is a traditional lady who doesn't care about worldly affairs. She just plays the piano and dances all day long. When her mother falls ill, she finds that everything is difficult and difficult.

Vivian comforted Almina in a low voice: "Don't worry, Uncle Edward will definitely bring Anna back, definitely will."

Almina rested her head on Vivienne's shoulder. She had been strong for so long, but she just held on with one breath.Now, the two sisters can rely on each other.

Edward rode off into the woods.The forest is very large, with some small animals.Gentlemen often hunt here, with many hounds, and often harvest some pheasants and hares.However, they didn't go too deep, so Edward didn't know if there would be predators like wolves deep in the forest.

As a young lady, Anna is very lively and active, and has good physical strength, so it is possible to run into the depths alone.Edward unknowingly walked into a place he had never stepped into, and the horse became a little restless.

"Hold on, girl, we have to bring Anna back." Edward reassured his horse, but it struggled harder the deeper it went.

Edward had to dismount and tried to appease it, but it suddenly broke free from the rein and ran away.

"Come back! Come back!"

Edward yelled, but he could only watch it run farther and farther and disappear into the woods.

It was still daytime now, but the surrounding trees were very tall, with luxuriant branches and leaves, so that not only was it not very bright, but even a little dim.
