one step away [Interstellar]

27.

This rainy day lasted for about three days, and on the evening of the third day, an invitation letter was delivered to the Duke's mansion.The housekeeper who received the letter immediately delivered the letter to Heber. Looking at the strange seal painted on the envelope, Heber opened the letter in doubt.

Appearing on the exquisite invitation card are just a few lines of very beautiful small gran fonts. Heber glanced at the content of the letter and wrote:

"Dear Your Excellency Weil: The Sunset Flower Festival is coming soon, and I hope to invite you to visit the sea of ​​flowers together. On May 21, we will meet at the International Exhibition Hall of Sunset Plaza. We sincerely welcome you."

The inscription is at the Sunset Flower Exhibition Center.

As early as more than a month ago, Heber received an invitation to the Sunset Flower Show. Even if she could not attend, she prepared to send a congratulatory speech.And this second letter is obviously addressed to the lord whose family name is Weil.

Heber thought about it, and decided to let Xia Zuo decide whether to go or not.

It's time for the usual afternoon tea.In the living room on the second floor, there were only two figures left empty.It was raining in the evening, Xia Zuo was holding a cup of tea, standing in front of the window, looking out the wind and rain, heaved a long sigh of relief.She turned around, with the mottled glass window behind her back, looked down at the elegant young woman sitting at the table, squinted her eyes slightly, and said, "Then are you going?"

The topic they were talking about meant the invitation letter that had just been sent.

The pink lips touched the mouth of the cup, leaving traces of moisture, crystal clear.Xia Zuo's eyes fell on the other's lips, with a dull expression.Heber, who didn't realize that he was being looked at at all, put down the cup in his hand, shook his head and said, "Although it is a large-scale flower show, I would also like to go there, but my physical condition does not allow it."

"What's wrong? What's wrong with your body?" Xia Zuo squeezed the cup, his expression suddenly became tense.

Heber shook his head and said, "It's just that I'm more tired recently, and I tend to get sleepy."

"Then take a good rest, there will be next year anyway. I won't go, we just send a greeting basket." Xia Zuo smiled, went to the seat beside her and sat down, opened a thick book , said, "Where did you read to that kid yesterday, um...is this passage?"

"At this time, the poet has climbed the mountain before me,

He said to me: 'Now, come on, you can see:

The sun has reached the meridian,

And the night has set foot in Morocco, covering the seaside. '"

Alpha's voice is as clear as a stream, and the pure timbre is an irresistible enjoyment.I don't know when, but he has become used to the other party accompanying her to read to the child in his belly.' Heber held the cup, squinted his eyes slightly, and nodded in response, "Yes."

"Then continue?" Xia Zuo stopped talking and asked tentatively.

"Okay." Hebe nodded, picked up the cup, and listened to her continue reading.Outside the window, the patter of rain combined with Xia Zuo's clear voice made people feel very comfortable.

Make it longer, longer, Xia Zuo, holding the book, peeked at Heber's beautiful side face from the corner of his eye, the pendulum in his heart was shaking, counting the other's slender eyelashes second by second.

One by one, keep it in my heart.

But what she can get is only such a short period of time.In the evening, the rain had stopped, and Xia Zuo, who was holding a book, was walking on the corridor back to the study, and stopped when he saw Heber's figure appearing in the courtyard after the rain.

The flowers, plants and trees quickly washed by the rain and dew are very radiant and moving, and the woman in a long skirt is walking in front of the maid, but it is more moving than any other scenery.Xia Zuo stood on the covered bridge on the second floor, looking at the other party's slender figure from a distance, his blue eyes were moistened with the moisture after the rain, and they were moist and gloomy.

Hebe...

Hebe...

Hebe...

She wanted to speak several times, to call her name.But when he opened his lips, he lost his voice.It's like a taboo, which cannot be crossed no matter what.So she stood on the covered bridge and watched Heber walk through the water-filled garden and enter the building in front.Then, even the last corner of the clothes disappeared.

Xia Zuo, who was only left alone, stood there, and after a while, he walked towards the study.

Princess Estelle's communication came in after Xia Zuo had dinner.As usual, I clicked on Guangxun, and what came into my eyes was two faces that were almost identical to each other.

"Hey, Charles, do you miss me?" The twin sisters said in unison.

The playful twin sisters wore exactly the same clothes today, with the same braids, made faces at Xia Zuo on the screen without restraint, and said together laughingly, "Guess who is Winnie and who is Winnie?" Nolan~”

Almost identical twins are rarely recognized when they are not around.But obviously, they couldn't fool their seasoned sister at all.Xia Zuo smiled, pointed to the left, poked the delicate face of the villain on the light screen, and said, "This is Winnie." Pointing to the right, he said, "This is Nolan."

"Cut." Winnessa, who was pierced, fell back, revealing the princess mother who was blocked by them.Curling his lips and looking at the well-behaved Nolan beside him, he said, "Children, they say that Charles will definitely recognize him, and he's still playing this game when he's too old."

"But you are also very cooperative." Nolan turned his head and looked at his sister with a serious face.Winissa blushed, turned her head away and rejected the fact that she was in trouble with her sister.

Xia Zuo smiled at their cute expressions, and said hello to the mother who appeared.The eldest princess was wearing pajamas, sitting on the bed with loose hair, hugging and kneading the two little daughters in her arms, and then said, "Do you have time on May 21?"

"Of course, I didn't report until the 27th, and I'm still on vacation." Xia Zuo nodded and asked, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

The eldest princess said: "It's nothing, there was a flower show in Sunset Square that day, you must have received the invitation letter, right?"

"It's like this. Heber told me today, but I decided not to go. This is not an invitation to go." Xia Zuo nodded and replied.

"Let's go, together with Nolan and Winnie, help me take some photos and come back. The two of them started their vacation today, and it's rare that you are still on vacation. How about hanging out with them?" The princess blinked. The eyes, the softness of the face.

The two children nestled in her arms had bright eyes, and the blond-haired girls looked cuter than angels.Winissa bit her lower lip, suppressed her little excitement, and said with a reluctant expression, "Mom is too busy to take us out. There are plant observations in the summer homework, so Charles reluctantly and You go together."

Even the well-behaved Nolan nodded and said, "Charles, we haven't seen each other for a long time, let's go out and play together, Connie's mother bought me new sunglasses, they look good."

It seems that it is necessary to go out.Xia Zuo nodded, smiled and agreed, "Okay."

The time slipped to the day agreed with Nolan Winnie. After the morning exercise, Xia Zuo, who had breakfast, changed into a light blue shirt and beige overalls, and stepped out in textured short boots.

Thin figure, slender waist, and bony wrists, none of them make the alpha in front of you feel very weak, even though she has a proud height and much stronger strength than other alphas.But when she appeared in front of Heber, she still felt that this young man was too immature.

It's like a freshman who just entered the school in college.

After being dazed for a moment, Heber stopped looking at the other party, looked at the hat in her hand with some doubts, and asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, I promised my mother to take Winnie and Nolan to play today, and I'm going to Sunset Square. Do you have any flowers you like? I can bring them back for you." Xia Zuo smiled, his face full of sunshine.

Heber shook his head and said, "Then you spend good time with your sisters and pay attention to safety."

"Okay, please pay attention to your body, see you tonight." Xia Zuo said, beckoning to He Bo, winking mischievously, and then walked out.

It was already after shilling hour when we drove to the Rose Duke's mansion.After breakfast, the twin sisters who sat obediently on the sofa and waited, rushed towards her like a wild horse when they heard Xia Zuo's arrival.

The two hugged Xia Zuo from left to right, and shouted in unison, "Xiaer~"

"You've been waiting for so long that I'm about to fall asleep." Winissa poked her thigh and complained with her mouth pouted.

Xia Zuo smiled and rubbed her head, but she stretched out her hand and slapped it away, "My hair is going to be messed up, my mother finally braided it for me."

"Yes, yes." Xia Zuo nodded, then turned his hand to pinch Nolan on one side, who giggled away from him.

The happy scene between the children was very beautiful in the eyes of the Duke of Rose. She came out with her wife on her arm, glanced at the three children, then fixed her eyes on Xia Zuo, and said, "I will leave it to you today, please be sure to Stay outside longer." She said, showing Xia Zuo a meaningful smile.

Xia Zuo looked at her, then at the lazy mother beside him, and belatedly remembered that this should be their wedding anniversary.So he nodded and replied cheerfully, "Yeah."

"Babies, say goodbye to your mother, and then go have a good time." The Duke of Rose said with a smile, and the children walked back to the princess mother honestly, hugged her and kissed her on the cheek before walking to Xia Xia. next to Zuo.

The grown-up Xia Zuo naturally couldn't kiss her mother's cheek with her saliva like her younger sister. She walked up to hug her mother and said, "We're going out now."

The lazy princess mother waved her hand, indicating that the children could leave, and said to Xia Zuo, "Who helped you choose the clothes, they look very cute." Well, it should be interesting to go out like this today.

Xia Zuo smiled and said, "Sister Heber chose it. Okay, mom, we're leaving now. Goodbye."

"Goodbye~" The sleepy woman leaned on her partner's shoulder, waved to the three children who got into the car, and watched them leave.

When the children were gone, the Duke of Rose took the princess back.

After the car drove out of Granville, it drove straight towards Sunsetville.Xia Zuo sat with his two younger sisters and listened to their muttering.

Winessa said: "Hey, Charles, can I have fried chicken today? It's delicious and crispy."

Xia Zuo said, "Mom said I can let you eat these things?"

Nolan continued: "Mom said that Xia Zuo can eat something when he is here."

Xia Zuo nodded: "Then eat some."

Vinesa asked again: "What about ice cream? Is that okay too?"

Xia Zuo replied: "Yes, just eat a little bit."

The two children were very curious about going out without bodyguards and cameras, especially Xia Zuo was the one leading the way.They asked a lot of questions, from what to eat to what to play.I asked if I could go to the amusement park after going to the flower show, and other things.

Xia Zuo replied one by one, trying to meet their demands.Until Nolan tugged at the corner of her clothes and said eagerly, "Hey, Charles, Mama Connie and Princess Mama are on a date, can we not go back tonight and live with you?"

Winissa also opened her eyes, looking at her eagerly.

Xia Zuo nodded and said, "Okay, we'll just ask the princess mother."

Well, no matter how big or small, everything must be approved by the princess mother.The three well-behaved children who have been told to love their mother since they were young, have given the highest decision-making power to their mother as always.

After the car stopped in front of the convention center, Xia Zuo helped Nolan and Winnie put on their hats and glasses, and carried them out in a low-key manner.When he was leading the two children and was about to enter the entrance of the exhibition center, he was called softly, "Your Excellency Xia Zuo, Your Excellency Xia Zuo..."

Xia Zuo stopped, looked in the direction of the source of the sound, and saw a black-haired lady in a small off-white suit walking towards her.The woman had smooth black hair and a clear face, which made her stand out among the crowd.

"Excuse me, is this Your Excellency Xia Zuo?" Even though she already knew it was this person, the woman couldn't help but confirm it again.

"Yes, you are?" Xia Zuo looked at the woman with some doubts.

The two children who were originally following Xia Zuo took a step forward and said to the woman, "Sister Avilla, hello."

Elvira...that Elvira from the Louis family?Xia Zuo thought about the soft little girl before she was ten years old, compared with the beautiful woman in front of her, there was a vague overlap.

So she nodded and said, "Hello, ma'am."

Elvira smiled, and said softly to the two children, "You are too, two lovely little angels." Then she raised her head, looked at Xia Zuo in front of her, and said, "Your Excellency is here to see the flower show. Well? It just so happens that I am the person who hosts the committee today, do you want me to show you around?"

"Don't bother you..." Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by the child beside her hurriedly, "Okay, okay..."

Winissa nodded her head hard, pretending to be sincere.Looking at her expression, Xia Zuo inexplicably saw a hint of guilt, and looked at Avilla's expression again, a strange feeling came to his heart.

The author has something to say: Xia Zuo's inner OS: What should I do if my mother cheated me...

There are a bunch of princesses in the princess house... oh.
