Downton Abbey for your happiness

John borrowed Mrs. Hughes's reception room, called Anna and Mr. Bates in, thought for a while and said, "Mr. Bates, I really don't know whether what I'm going to say is good or bad for you. But I think it's definitely a good thing for a couple who really love each other."

Bates looked at Mr. Spencer in bewilderment, waiting for what to say.I saw that the other party handed him a thick envelope with nothing written on the cover, which was very unusual.After he opened the envelope, he took out a stack of photos. The contents of the photos made him angry, but at the same time he was relieved. He took these photos to find Vera, and if he gave her some money, he should be able to Did she agree to a divorce?

Then John gave Bates the investigation report, saying: "I went to your mother's house, and she told me everything. I already know that you were not the one who stole the case. Not only those photos, but also the ones in the envelope." The brooch was provided by Mr Brown, and I'm sure it must have come from Mrs Flintshire. If you want to reverse the case, take it to the judge."

"No, as long as she is willing to divorce me, what happened back then was voluntary." Bates looked at Anna excitedly and said, as if happy days were waving to him.

"It's up to you." John raised his eyebrows, "Then let it be another bargaining chip, but I suggest you better not try to impress Mrs. Bates with money, she will use the money you gave her to bite you back. I I think this evidence is enough for your honor to make a decision."

Bates was stunned for a while, he couldn't figure out how Mr. Spencer knew what he was thinking, but these were not important anymore, what the other party said was indeed reasonable, and he finally hoped that he wouldn't mess it up.He and Anna looked at each other and clasped their hands tightly.

"Mr. Spencer, why do you want to help us?" Bates asked puzzled.

"I hope you don't resent what Thomas did before."

"Is that so?" Anna couldn't believe it.

"Mr. Bates, you are so smart, you must understand what I mean." John looked at Bates meaningfully and said.

Bates wanted to deny it, but he couldn't, so he acquiesced.He did doubt the relationship between Mr. Spencer and Thomas before, but he didn't expect the other party to admit it so frankly.Although Anna didn't quite understand, she wisely chose to remain silent.

"Why...why did such an excellent person like you make that...that choice?" Bates asked cryptically, as if saying these words made him scratch his head.

John smiled and said, "Then why did you choose Anna? Why did Anna choose you?"

Bates laughed too, and he accepted the answer: "Mr. Spencer, thank you for your help, you are such a good man. How can I repay you?"

He was actually given a good card by the kind Bates?But the good person card is not picked up casually, if you don't pick it up, it's a flag, it's better not to owe each other.So he blinked his eyes and said, "Then please you and Mrs. Hughes help me keep the secret."

Hearing this, Bates raised his head and looked in the direction of the door, and said with a smile, "I think Mrs. Hughes will be a tight-lipped person."

After John finished his work, he had to go back to Old Manor. The earl felt better about Bates after knowing about him, and invited him to stay for one night before leaving.John also wanted to stay with Thomas for a while, but he still had a lot of things to do. He was busy thinking about his lover a while ago, and accumulated a pile of documents to deal with.And after finishing it early, he can go to the Downton Temple Fair with Thomas. Thinking of the date soon, he is full of energy.

John left too hastily, and Thomas didn't have time to say a lot, and the past two days have been unhappy.Hearing that the earl took Bates to visit Old Manor this morning, he had been looking forward to Bates coming back to ask about John's recent situation, so he was out of shape all morning, and sometimes Mrs. Patmore had to call him twice to Come to yourself.Mrs. Patmore complained to Mrs. Hughes about this. For the first time, she did not criticize Thomas. She coughed a few times and said, "Maybe Thomas has something important to think about."

"Huh? What important business can he have?" said Mrs. Patmore dismissively.

Mrs. Hughes was about to say a few more words of persuasion when Mr. Bates appeared at the kitchen door. He dusted off his coat and said, "Mrs. Patmore, Mr. Spencer wants me to say hello to you on his behalf. I brought you something good." He took out a few pieces of paper and handed them over, "This is the menu Mrs. Lance gave you. She said that you were very interested in the French food she mentioned last time. She put After talking about it with Mr. Spencer, Mr. Spencer wrote some."

Mrs. Patmore, who got the menu, happily studied it, and let go of the previous stubble.Only then did Mr. Bates turn to Thomas and say, "Mr. Spencer has something for you, too."

Thomas followed out, he was a little confused by Bates' attitude: "Mr. Spencer asked you to bring me something?"

"Listen, I know what you're thinking. Mr. Spencer is a good man, and I don't agree with it, but I hope you mean it."

Thomas was frightened at first, but he was relieved when he heard that the other party would not inform.He glared at Bates and said, "Of course I am serious. What proof do you want me to have?"

"As long as you know it yourself." Bates said and stuffed something cold into Thomas's hand, then turned and left.

It was a pocket watch with a simple texture. It looked very old. The edge of the metal case was worn white, but there was no dust or damage on the whole watch. Obviously, the original owner must have always carried it with him and cherished it very much. .Thomas opened the pocket watch, and the three hands inside were ticking, but what caught his attention more was the photo of John embedded in the inner case on the other side.He closed the pocket watch, opened the note under the watch, and there was a sentence written on it: I gave it to you, don't you worry now?

Thomas showed a sweet smile that he didn't even notice, and then put the watch carefully in his pocket and entered the house.He approached Bates again and asked: "How is Mr. Spencer doing?"

"It's okay, if you mean mood, but he seems tired from work."

Thomas didn't say anything after hearing this, but he was very worried about John. He couldn't ask for a day off, so he had to tell Carson to go to town and send a telegram to him.The first time he sent a telegram to John, Thomas stuttered and regretted some words as soon as he had spoken them, which caused his whole telegram to be long-winded and cost a lot of money.

The middle-aged woman who sent the telegram said clearly: "Send it to the girl you love. I have seen many young people like you. There are many in the town. There is no need to be nervous. She must have seen your telegram." very happy."

Thomas suppressed a smile and thanked the other party. Leaving aside whether John was happy to see his telegram, the other party would not be happy if he was treated as a girl.
