Noble Villa [Whistling]

It was a few days later when Edgar saw his family again. Obviously, everyone underestimated the extent of Mr. Linton's injury.

Roddy's estate was one of the oldest in Cork, and Edgar was well looked after here.But the absence of a hostess still has a cascade of effects.Fortunately, Green has a very good housekeeper. They are not as busy as they were at the beginning.

Mary was famous for her beauty, but also for her temper.But out of love for her son, she restrained her arrogance temporarily, and brought her whole family here as a guest.

Mary is very familiar with this manor.It was one of Dad's many properties, and it was almost her dowry.But out of consideration for the expensive maintenance costs in the future, the realistic Mary hopes to inherit the beautiful jewelry that has been passed down many times in the family.In exchange, she gave up the estate.

"It's beautiful." Mr. Linton looked at the sun that was about to set, and said to his wife beside him with a smile.

"Yeah." Mary nodded.

"Do you regret it?" Mr. Linton asked a little lonely.If Thrushcross Grange was not on the verge of bankruptcy and needed a lot of financial support, maybe Mary could have obtained this manor.Whenever he thought of this, Mr. Linton felt that he could not look directly at his wife.

"You've done a good job." Mary said, putting her hand lightly on the back of Mr. Linton's. "Whether it's for me or for the children."

Mr. Linton did not speak, and held his wife's hand with his backhand.The silk gloves feel very thin and comfortable, just like the old but still charming wife in front of you.

"Come on, there's still a dance to attend." Mary said, "It's not perfect, of course, but it's certainly not an easy thing for a family without a mistress."

"Even if that gentleman's wife were alive, she would never be as perfect as you are," said Mr. Linton, looking tenderly at Mary.

"Don't be like this, you know that I, like most women, can't stand flattery." Mary kept her mouth calm and secretly delighted in her heart.

"So I never, I just state the facts," Mr Linton said.

Mary looked at the man in front of her, and every time she felt extremely grateful for her choice and waiting.Perhaps Mr. Linton was not the most outstanding person at the time.But as time went by, she felt more and more that Mr. Linton was the only person she wanted to spend her life with.

Mary, who had just stepped into the social world, was one of the most irresistible marriage partners in the British Empire.After all, her family has the oldest surname and a huge fortune, which makes her stand out from the crowd of British aristocratic ladies who are about to go bankrupt and American 'pirate' girls.

Mary and Linton met at each other's best years.

At that time, Linton had just served in the army when he received a message from his father.The investment failed, and the family property was in jeopardy. His only way out was to find a girl with huge money.

Mr. Linton of the older generation has always been guilty of his son, but in terms of the situation at the time, this kind of thing is not very strange.The veteran aristocrats insisted on not working to support themselves, and encountered a strong impact from the merchant class. A little turbulence in the stock market would make these people who were sitting on the mountain and empty money go bankrupt.

Linton, who had just graduated from Wharton, was in great pain. As an outstanding student in the School of Economics, he knew all the principles clearly, but he still couldn't solve his urgent problems.He is still too young, imagining all kinds of possibilities in the future, but his long-term aristocratic education makes him lack the conditions to implement it.At that time, he was almost desperate to find that there seemed to be no other way to save himself and his family other than bowing his head to the capital.

He has no way to blame his father, the man who used to be so tall is now sitting in front of him and begging his son's forgiveness.Before he knew it, that handsome playboy had also turned into a middle-aged man with a big belly. He tried all his efforts and contacts to barely maintain his face.

Fortunately, he met Mary, the only one worthy of his serious life.
