Heather who counterattacked

first drop of blood

When Aurora walked across the lawn and went straight to the main entrance of the mansion, she saw Mrs. Wendy who was tending flowers and plants in the fence on the right.The aroma is very light, and among the dense green branches and leaves, clusters of yellow flowers the size of rice grains have a delicate and delicate color, which looks very fresh.

"Good morning, ma'am." Aurora paused for a moment, and greeted her quite humbly.

Mrs. Wendy carefully inspected the flower spikes. She planted these Milans and took care of them herself. She turned her head and looked at the sound when she heard the sound. She didn't look surprised. She obviously knew that she would come back—maybe Also know why she was called back.

"Good morning." She stood up and smiled, and replied.Wearing a dark blue long dress with no accessories, she is simple but majestic. Her beauty is accumulated over the years, but she can control any color, and no time can bear to take away her tenderness and beauty like running water.

In the earliest days, Aurora really hated her, perhaps because of the instinctive rejection between the same sex.And this woman's unabashed admiration for Cyril also made Aurora displeased.It's not about hatred like a rival in love, nor is it about having any unreasonable thoughts about His Excellency the Duke. It's just that after being stared at by this man for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a delusion of wanting to stand in his field of vision forever, and a person suddenly joins him, It was the one who unilaterally gave him emotional entanglement, even if he didn't do anything, it still made people feel angry that he was robbed of something.

But slowly, but I have to admire and admire Mrs. Wendy's personality charm.This woman who is full of stories is like a mystery with a mysterious color, and her every move can't make people feel profane.That eternal love made her romantic and free like a girl all the time, but it was like all the most touching emotions in the world, very gentle, so gentle that it didn't even threaten anyone.

Aurora bid farewell to Mrs. Wendy, ran upstairs in a hurry, stood in front of Cyril's study door and took a long, deep breath, then controlled her heartbeat and slowly knocked on the concealed door.

Unexpectedly, it was not Naiden who came to open the door for her, but a faintly familiar voice: "Come in."

Aurora obediently pushed the door open and went in, but there was no sign of the housekeeper.The room is very bright, and the quiet and warm sunshine in the morning pours through the large French windows with no curtains drawn. Even the slightly dark and rigorous English-style furniture can't suppress the warmth. The only thing that is a bit abrupt, There is a chair at the intersection of sunlight and shadow, with a large book turned upside down on the chair seat, obviously it has not been put down for a long time - Aurora glanced at the title of the book secretly, and then she was ashamed to find the book. It turned out to be "The Holy Family" co-written by Marx and Engels—and Cyril stood sideways to her, stood by the desk, and pressed a few keys on the laptop that was moved to his hand.

Busy?Aurora's first reaction was whether to avoid it or not. Her body was already a step ahead of her mind, and she walked slowly but firmly to his side, whispering softly, "Good morning, Your Excellency."

Cyril responded, looked away, and pushed the computer back to the middle of the desk.There were few things on the table, only a slender crystal vase with a bouquet of roses in it, except for a black rose which was an artificial flower made of wax, the rest were newly blooming flowers in the garden.On the opposite side are two piles of hardcover books, both of which look old, and a stack of thick letter paper. The paperweight is a black ink bottle with a quill pen inserted, very old-fashioned writing equipment.

"Sit." Cyril pointed to a chair opposite the wall.

Aurora was quite a bit trembling and had to sit down.

At this moment, Naiden pushed the door open and came in with a tray with tea sets in his hand, and Aurora knew where he had been just now.

After receiving the tea from Mr. Butler, Aurora's heart became even higher, and then she saw Naiden go around behind the desk, pull out a folder bag from the cabinet in front of the bookshelf, and handed it to herself.

Aurora quickly put down the tea and stood up again to take it.With a little hesitation, he looked at Xi Ruier who was staring at her, his heart froze, and he pursed his lips and opened the information bag.

Wendy once asked Cyril, what kind of Aurora do you want to see?

If before the coming-of-age ceremony banquet, she would still comment on this student who is not a student with a slightly teasing tone of "your girl", then the scenes of being caught off guard at these times will change slowly. thought point of view.Your Excellency the Duke is not looking at Aurora with the status and attitude of an elder, he regards her as a proposition that must be solved.

Wendy was keenly aware of this through her own experience and experience. He taught her, trained her, and took care of her, but he was unwilling to intervene in her life—maybe even Aurora herself couldn't see it.

"I don't know," was all Cyril had said at the time.But Wendy had already seen in his eyes what he expected her to arrive at.She has known him for so long, so she naturally knows what kind of character the Duke is, and then understands that perhaps from the very beginning, he has set a mold for Aurora's future, and no matter what path Aurora chooses, she will only reach him in the end. The appearance of her achievements.This is a man who is stubborn to the extreme but never admits that he is stubborn. Maybe even this stubborn emotion is too light, so he doesn't know it.

Wendy could sense it because she had watched him silently for so many years.

She has passed the age of admiring prosperity, and the never-ending love affair prematurely exhausted her enthusiasm for the world that everyone admires, otherwise she would not have withdrawn from people's vision so early.

Receiving the invitation to come to Isaac was actually the happiest time in her life, even if she retired here to stay away from everyone's sight, she would be willing, because there is no existence closer to him than now.Watching what he is watching and thinking about what he is thinking makes every day worth looking forward to.As Aurora's guide, her task is actually only half completed, because some unexpected accidents only brought Aurora into people's field of vision, but did not guide her how to carry out normal communication. But Wendy thought that she would need herself soon.

——Before this, Aurora didn't feel that she had made any mistakes at all.

After reading the documents in the file bag, her flushed face slowly turned pale, she stood up abruptly and looked at Xi Ruier in a panic, her hand holding the paper tightly was still trembling.

Now there are only her and him left in the study room. Xi Ruier is sitting in the center of the room, because the sunlight has shifted, the angle of the chair has also changed, and there is a small coffee table beside him. One hand is hooking the handle of the teacup, and the other is clasping the book on the lap that turns a page from time to time.

What you are proud of may be a joke in the eyes of others.Aurora was so aggrieved that her heart and lungs ached.She didn't know whether she was sad because this person was Xi Ruier, or because Xia Lai was depressed.

During this time, she got along well with Xia Lai, or in other words, made full use of his value.Not only consolidated the increased exposure due to the crown prince incident, but also used various channels to break into the high society in Madrid. The contacts left by the old Kane opened the door for her, and at those banquets, auctions, charity transactions The new friends she met in clubs, horse farms and golf courses also played a big role in her gaining a foothold.

Perhaps all the self-satisfaction is just a fan of the authorities, and just one piece of information caused her to be criticized to the point where she was bruised.In Aurora's hands, what she now has is all the resumes or files of Xia Lei Coffey, and there are many... perhaps not the first information obtained through such formal means.There is even an extremely complete communication record in it, down to the tone and pause!

Even if it wasn't for the content, Aurora was already in a cold sweat.In this era of rapid and developed communications, she has discovered before that whether it is her father or Cyril, they will always use their mobile phones pitifully seldom. Apart from landlines, they would rather use old-fashioned encrypted telegrams to transmit data than It's okay to fiddle with the mobile phone-she even suspected that her father might not use a mobile phone at all!It turned out that it was because mobile communication was such an easy channel to leak secrets.

Aurora stared at certain words in the record, even if she clenched her teeth tightly, her teeth were trembling.

The boy who was talking to his cousin didn't look like the pitifully stupid guy who often appeared in front of her.Of course, this person is not as simple as she imagined.With a gentle and sophisticated style of conduct, but at a young age, you already have the skills that you have to accept. How can you be an ordinary person who can be trained as the heir of a big family like Kofi!

And those words, saying that she wished she was a little more stupid and that it doesn't matter if she was used, seemed like a very rational lover. Of course, to Aurora, it was not touching, but embarrassing.

Extremely embarrassing.

Faced with Cyril for too long, it almost made her instinctively look down on all men in this world, and Xia Lai's attitude in front of her has always been very low, which has simply fueled her ignorant arrogance.Who would have thought that she thought she had to use her acting skills to take advantage of others, but she couldn't even see through the mask he was wearing from beginning to end!

When she was doing those self-satisfied things, did the rest of the people despise and ridicule such a clown?

Angry, self-deprecating, but helpless.Looking back on the past, I can't wait to get in and never come out again.

Embarrassed.Embarrassed.Embarrassed.

Aurora's hands trembled for a while before she calmed down.The complicated mood made her dare not face Cyril at all, but the Duke kept his back to her reading the book without saying a word, as if all he wanted to do was let her read the information.

"...I know how to do it." Finally, she put the materials back into the bag, and said while holding them tightly in her hands.

Xi Ruier finally looked back at her and said, "Wendy will take you out this weekend, remember to come back."

"I see." Realizing that she still has something to learn from Mrs. Wendy, Aurora took the information bag and left, "Goodbye, Your Excellency."

The footsteps are a little stagnant, and the blow is a bit big?

Cyril watched her leave, paused for a moment, and found that she couldn't read the book even though she was staring at it, she was dazed for a while, straightened up, put the book upside down on the chair, and pushed the door to go out.

Walk along the corridor into the hall, all the way to the balcony.The sun shone down overwhelmingly, and the eyes couldn't accept the light for a while.He squinted his eyes and lowered his head, just as Mrs. Wendy in the garden raised her head, their eyes met.

She laughed.

"Romeo, your star has just gone."

Xi Ruier stared at her for a while, then suddenly said: "She is very angry."

"But isn't that what you want to see?" Mrs. Wendy straightened up—the scent of the seven-lily incense blooming beside her even reached him—and said softly and sweetly, "She hasn't seen it yet, You can see through it at a glance. When you ordered to collect these data to monitor the little boy's every move, didn't you expect this time?"

Without any sarcasm, she was describing a fact very seriously.

Said it right.Girls always have the right to be willful, and Aurora is still a very proud girl, failure is not as hateful as deception, and this time, she is deceiving to the point of being fooled—even if Xia Lai didn't mean it herself, she Everyone thinks so.For Cyril, it is equivalent to a result, and Xia Lei Coffey is about to be completely dead.

"Yes." Cyril laughed, "This is really a happy thing."

He is perfect when he is not smiling, but when he smiles, his eyebrows and eyes are vivid, and no one can resist the charm of such a smile.
