Downton Abbey for your happiness

Chapter 35 Downton's Conspiracy

Little Bonnie Branson was two months old after Mary learned of Siebel's thrill ride back from France.A few months later, Mary also found out that she was pregnant. Everyone was happy that there was a successor to Downton Abbey. Only John was worried when he heard the news. He always deliberately followed Matthew. It's nothing. After a long time, Matthew panicked. Once he hesitated and said to John: "John...you know we are very good friends."

"Of course." Otherwise, I will follow you when I'm full, in case you get agitated and hand yourself over to death?John answered inexplicably.

Matthew saw that John hadn't changed a bit, so he had no choice but to say: "John, I love Mary very much, and I won't give any more love to others except Mary."

"Yes, I know you love Mary very much, but sometimes we have to restrain our emotions, don't we, there is always a crisis hidden behind excessive joy." John answered irrelevantly.

Seeing that his friend was so slow, Matthew sighed and said quickly: "Well, John, I don't like...men, I hope this will not affect our friendship."

John suddenly realized, he rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about, I'm not interested in your serious stuff. If I'm not worried about your excitement, I'd rather stay in Old Manor Have a little time here."

Matthew coughed twice in embarrassment while heaved a sigh of relief, assuring that he would never get too excited.John will no longer follow, if there is a plot, it will be after Mary's child is born.

Everything is developing in a good way, but life is always full of problems, and soon a big problem was faced by the earl's family-the earl failed to invest in the main line of the Canadian railway, and all the money was wasted. If you can't get it back, the manor will soon be lost!

This time there was no Lavinia's inheritance, but instead, Joyce, a candy tycoon, was the backup. How could Mary let go of the opportunity to keep the manor right in front of her?So she used her pregnancy as an excuse to take advantage of the arrival of relatives and decided to hold a big banquet. The earl didn't know what his daughter was up to. Although he had no money, he thought that he might have a grandson heir soon, so he decided to Mary meant it.Considering that she couldn't just invite Joyce, Mary also sent invitation letters to Charlotte and John.Edith had a big fight with Mary because of this. She didn't want her sweetheart to be manipulated by Mary. You know, it's not a small sum. What if Joyce was frightened?Mary complained that Edith only cared about her own happiness and watched the manor fall into crisis.In the end, the old lady stepped forward to mediate, saying that this was also a time to test Joyce, and if Edith loved him, he had to have some confidence in him.If a man is deterred by money, it only means that he doesn't love this woman deeply enough.It was rare for the old lady to get Branson's approval.

Joyce was very happy to come to Old Manor, told John about the matter, and said that it seemed that he had been approved by Edith's family, and he decided to ask for marriage.John has heard Matthew tell him about Downton Abbey, so he naturally knows what the banquet is about, but emotional matters are like people drinking water, knowing whether they are warm or not.Let the second cousin decide how to decide, so he just said: "Cousin Joyce, you have to be careful, this banquet and your marriage proposal are not cheap."

Soon the big day of the banquet came, and Mary asked the servants to clean up the rooms early in the morning, put big candles on the long dining table, put flowers, and brought out the most beautiful tableware. A grand tradition to carry on.The servants didn't know the real situation inside, and they were all guessing who this grand dinner was for, represented by Mrs. Patmore. Many people said it was for Mr. Winston. Maybe there would be a marriage proposal after the dinner.The newcomer James asked puzzledly: "Isn't Mr. Winston a businessman? Will the Earl agree?"

"Oh—he's not an ordinary merchant," said Mrs. Patmore, drawn out. "Mr. Winston is a great confectioner, to be precise." She emphasized the capital letters.

"I think they match quite well, Mr. Winston is so handsome." Ivy glanced at James with emotion and said.

"I think that Mr. Winston is not only handsome, but also caring for Miss Edith. And his father, Mr. Spencer's uncle, is the American ambassador to England..."

"Mr. Winston's uncle, Miss Charlotte's father is the Duke of France!" Daisy cut off Mrs. Hughes's words, glared at Ivy and said, "He doesn't win by appearance alone."

"No wonder Mr. Spencer is so popular at the estate," James said.

"No, you're wrong. Mr. Spencer is popular because he is approachable, kind and warm-hearted." Anna couldn't bear to hear someone say that, and retorted.

Mrs. Hughes, seeing enough talk, broke off the conversation and kept everyone busy.At 6:[-] in the evening, Thomas drove with them to Downton Abbey. Today is Joyce's big day. All three of them attended in costumes. Mary warmly welcomed them. A big hug.Tom and John also became acquainted with Sieber, and the intertwining and bonding between them became more complicated and closer.

At this time they were welcomed into the hall, and John looked up at the gorgeous and simple dome with emotion, and then looked at the surroundings that had not changed from before the war. Downton Abbey is almost my second home."

Thomas also asked in a low voice suspiciously: "Then New York, Texas..."

"No, how can a place be home without you?"

After John finished talking in Thomas's ear, the hot breath he exhaled made the other party's neck turn red, and Thomas felt his heart beating. No matter how long he lived with John, the other party would always give him this kind of happiness, feeling of contentment.

"So even if Cousin Joyce doesn't make a move, I will invest in the manor, but I won't steal his limelight. It's easy to add icing on the cake, but hard to give it away. After this experience, I believe Edith will love him even more. said John.Thomas agrees.The dinner party was supposed to be happy and joyful, but there was always such a mouse dropping.Larry Gray was also invited tonight. Mary wanted him to be one of the backgrounds, but he laughed at Branson's identity restlessly. Charlotte happened to pass by and heard Larry Asking if Tom's luggage was lost by the servants, she stood in front of Tom angrily and said, "I don't think the luggage is lost, but your brain is lost, Mr. Gray?" Pulling Branson around and leaving, he sent the man to Sieber and said, "Don't take that kind of person to heart. My cousin said that people who only talk about being brave are embroidered pillow straw cores. They look good. useless."

Branson swept away the anger just now because of these words, and Sieber smiled and said: "I never knew that Mr. Spencer was such a sharp person, and he could be on a par with grandma."

The old Mrs. Grantham was teased by her granddaughter and also joked: "Oh, I don't think I can beat Mr. Spencer's physique."
