one step away [Interstellar]

35.

Xia Zuo's sudden confession made Heber sleepless all night, and the terrified Omega didn't fall asleep until dawn.When I woke up, it was almost noon.

Today, the weather is still not very good.The outside of the house was drenched, and people didn't even have the desire to go out after taking a look.Hebe looked out of the dark house, sat at the empty long table, and breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't see that person.

Xia Zuo, who got up early, sent the twin sisters who had breakfast to Rose Duke's mansion after morning exercises.On the way, for the sake of Hebe's reputation, Xia Zuozai talked about his sister carefully, saying that he should not tell his mother about making Hebe angry.

Obviously, Xia Zuo obeyed the thinking of the two children about the abnormality of the two yesterday, explaining that it was because he made Heber angry too much.As for why, Winnie added the next sentence very thoughtfully.

"Charles made too many mistakes and stepped on him, didn't he?" Winnie, who was sitting across from her in the carriage, frowned, her blue eyes revealed an aura that I knew everything. .

Xia Zuo smiled with the corners of his mouth pulled, reached out and patted her head, and said, "Yes. So keep it a secret, otherwise mom will tell me if she finds out, for the sake of ice cream."

"Hmph." Winnie snorted softly while crossing her arms, "For the sake of the ice cream, we won't tell mom."

"Yeah." Nolan nodded cooperatively, "But Charles, you have to apologize well, Sister Heber is well, don't make her angry again."

"I will." Xia Zuo nodded, and Winnie couldn't help telling him, "You have to apologize, understand?"

Xia Zuo's uneasy heart suddenly relaxed with the expressions of the younger sisters worrying about themselves.She smiled, agreed to their words, and drove them home.

She knew that as long as the two younger sisters agreed, they would not tell the story of yesterday.Otherwise, her clever princess mother would definitely guess what she was thinking.

She didn't want her mother to know about the current situation.Not only for Heber, but also for himself.

Of course, Xia Zuo didn't see his busy Duke mother when he arrived at the Rose Duke's Mansion. She had lunch with Winnie Nolan under the reception of the butler, and then returned to Granville alone.

In the afternoon, the rain had stopped.Xia Zuo, who got off the car, handed over the key to the attendant, walked straight into the main hall, and stepped up the stairs on the second floor.

This manor in the depths of Granville revealed the silence of a single person. Walking towards the corner from the living room on the second floor, Xia Zuo did not hear the familiar sound of the piano when he entered the usual area.

Her heart sank, she looked at the maid who was busy cleaning, and asked, "Where is Madam? What are you doing?"

"Good day, Your Excellency." The maid bowed and replied carefully, "The gentleman from the board of directors is here today. Madam is meeting them in the conference hall. Do you want to go?"

She was talking about the group of people who managed the family business. Xia Zuo was not very good at this aspect of affairs, so he frowned slightly and said, "Thank you, no need." Then, he walked into his study.

At that time, she thought it was just like today, but she didn't expect that it would be like this in the next few days.Xia Zuo, who was not considered clumsy, also understood at this moment that Heber was deliberately avoiding himself.

An uncomfortable atmosphere spread in the duke's mansion, and the delicate atmosphere between the two was noticed by the sensitive servants, and a ray of sadness inevitably surfaced.

Far away in the villa in Landoville, Harlan, who was at home on vacation, sorted out the scattered books and cleaned them diligently.A series of doorbells rang, forcing him to put down the things in his hands and walk towards the door.

Unscrewing the doorknob, a man in an orange jacket and a baseball cap of the same color stood at the door leading a takeaway box.He lowered the brim of his hat and said in a low voice, "Hello, takeaway from Green Hotel."

"Please come in." Harlan turned the doorknob to let him in, and said as he walked towards the sofa, "Please wait a moment, I will pay you."

The door lock behind him fell, and the man who was about to go forward was grabbed by the shoulders.Harun panicked, and then heard a sexy and hoarse voice slipping into his ears, "Long time no see, do you miss me, little Harun?"

Harlan, who was tense, relaxed, broke away from the man's hand, and turned to look at him.Reaching out to take off his baseball cap, the handsome boy looked at the handsome face in front of him and said with a smile, "Why are you here? Didn't you say that you won't come here anytime soon?"

"Then who complained on the social network yesterday that her husband didn't go home recently." The man smiled, put his arms around his bloated waist, and leaned over to bite his lips.

The hot kiss fell, and the clothes slipped off. The boy with a bloated waist supported the back of the sofa chair, raised his round buttocks, and was penetrated heavily by the person behind him.

After the usual meeting ceremony, the man put on his clothes, hugged the disheveled Harun in his arms, stroked his swollen abdomen with one hand, and kneaded his swollen lower body with the other, and said with his earlobe in his mouth, "The little guy told Dad, are you full?"

The moaning boy stretched out his hand, slapped his messy hand away, and said angrily, "What does he know?"

"He doesn't know, but his father knows." The man leaned over, put his earlobe in his mouth, and said, "Are you full? How about my little Harlan, is it better than your lover to feed you?" I'm still full."

"Hmph." The boy patted the man's hand and said, "Stop talking, my dear teacher has been very busy recently. By the way, last time I asked you to help me, I didn't do well. This time ..."

"In that case, I wouldn't dare to provoke a pregnant woman with an alpha around me." The man smiled and said, "As long as it's not the same thing, I'm certainly willing to go through fire and water for you."

"For the sake of our children, my dear, it is better for you to go through fire and water." Harlan blinked and said, "Before the duke is canonized, I need to make sure that our children are the only heirs. And this time, we only have one Chance."

"At the Marquis Ellen's engagement banquet, she will definitely be present, so I need you, dear. For us, that child can't..." His lips opened and closed, and no sound came out. The man read his lips, He showed a serious expression.

"Of course I understand." The man nodded, touched his cheek lovingly, and said, "There will be absolutely nothing wrong this time."

Yes, with his acting skills and the support of his childhood sweetheart from his little brother in the future, he will definitely be able to make it through.

Harlan looked at the man in front of him, his eyes finally softened.Even if everyone gets what they need, this elder brother Giri who has cared for him since childhood is far better than Lynn who was seduced by him.

The two stayed together for a while, the man packed up his clothes, put on the box, and walked out the door.Harlan was fully dressed, cleared the takeaways into the trash can, rubbed his cheeks, showing a look of necessity.

When the man in orange drove out of the villa, he happened to meet Lynn driving back.Lynn with a tired look on his brow got out of the car, loosened his tie, and walked towards the house.

The boy who had just passed the orgasm was startled. Seeing Lin En who came back suddenly, he hurried up to greet him, "Why did you come back so early today?"

He said, as earnestly as ever.Lin En frowned, took a step forward, and asked, "Has anyone been here?"

"Yes, the delivery man of the Green Hotel." Harlan calmed down and said without changing his face.

"Oh." Lin En replied, without saying anything, and went into the study instead.

After a while, Harlan was lying on the door of the study, and heard intermittent voices from there, "Aren't these enough?"

"I don't care, you have to come up with the best plan for me, you can't..."

"Yes, I want to..."

He seemed to be suppressing extreme anger, and there was something even Harlan couldn't know, something he was ashamed to talk about.Harlan frowned and listened for a while, then left.It seemed that Lynn didn't know about this matter.

After he left, Lynn dialed another number, and seemed to have finally mustered up the courage, he said, "I need you to do me a favor, the pay will not be low..."

"Yes... we must solve it as soon as possible without leaving any traces..."

His expression was sinister, like a jackal that had been trampled on a sore foot.

In a blink of an eye, it was time for Xia Zuo to go to Nice.

On this day, Heber stayed in the study in the West Pavilion to deal with the affairs of the first half of the year.The enterprises under the name of the Duke of Bauhinia involve a wide range of real estate, mining, medical care, catering, etc., and have one of the best representatives in different cities.

It is enough for the board of directors to take care of the business direction, and what Heber wants to do will determine the wind direction in the second half of the year, so she still has to read the major proposals selected by the board of directors before making a decision.

As the final arbiter, Heber has been very busy recently, and stayed in the study after lunch.

There was a knock on the door, and Heber, who was busy checking the market data, said without raising his head, "Come in."

The leather shoes made a crisp rhythm as they stepped on the wooden floor. The young waiter came to her side with the afternoon tea and put it on the desk beside her.

"Just put it down, you go out first." She was busy flipping through the report and planning book, and said softly.

But the waiter didn't seem to be very obedient. After a while, he still stood in his original position, motionless.

"Is there anything else?" Sensing that she hadn't left, Heber asked softly.After a while, Heber, who still didn't get a response, finally raised his head from his busy work and looked at the place where the man was standing, feeling a little dazed for a while.

The young man standing in front of him was wearing a dark blue military uniform with a straight figure.The neatly buttoned copper buttons, the neckline embroidered with the king's emblem, and the delicate gladiolus pattern on the cuffs all reveal that this is a uniform of the King's Guard.

Hebe raised his head, and his eyes fell on the young man's re-shorted hair, then on the unaltered handsome face, and finally landed on the two silver stars on her shoulders.

Lips moved, Heber calmed down for a while, and said softly, "Going to...Nice?"

"Yes. The summer training has started, and I have to finish my vacation to report, because the journey is far away, and there will be a combat deployment meeting tomorrow, so I will go there tonight." Xia Zuo nodded, looking at the woman in front of him who seemed to have not seen him for a long time , said, "I have come to bid you farewell, Hebe."

"Ah, that's it." Heber smiled, diluting his tired look, "Is everything ready?"

"Yes, old Vito has packed it up for me." But originally, there was nothing to pack up.

"That's it..." Heber put down the pen in his hand, got up and walked out, "I'll tell Sonny, how about having dinner together before leaving, it's too late now."

As she said so, she passed Xia Zuo and walked out with her increasingly obvious belly.

Xia Zuo wanted to reach out and hold her, but after hesitating for a while, he withdrew his hand and put it by his side, saying, "No need, the person who came to pick me up is already waiting outside the house."

"Hmm..." Heber stopped in his tracks, subconsciously avoided her sight, and said a little at a loss, "Well, what a pity..."

Xia Zuo laughed and said, "Ellen's engagement banquet will be a month later, and I will be back then. I will trouble you about the wedding celebration."

"I have already delivered the gift to Ellen separately, you just need to arrange the affairs of the Duke's Palace."

"Also, during this period of time, it's best not to go out for appointments. After all, I don't want you to go through the accident last time."

Xia Zuo looked at the woman in front of him, and gave a careful instruction.Heber, who had already heard the extra voice, raised his head and looked at the young man's sincere face.

"Believe me, there is no safer place than here." The major general who is an alpha said sincerely, that pun made Heber a little at a loss.

"Thank you." After a long time, Heber bent his lips and revealed a soft smile.

"This is what it should be." Xia Zuo smiled, "Please take care of your body and try not to deal with these cumbersome things anymore. The gentlemen of the board of directors shouldn't bother you so much."

"Yes." Heber nodded and agreed.

"Then, goodbye." Xia Zuo said, taking a step forward.

"Goodbye." Heber nodded and took a step back sideways.

"Goodbye." Xia Zuo said again, and nodded when passing by her.

Heber stood where he was, watched her walk to the door, subconsciously bit his lips.The young man walked to the door, turned his head, and looked at her.Those azure blue eyes had a tenderness as heavy as the deep sea, and Heber raised his eyes to meet her gaze.

The moment their eyes met, the young major general nodded, turned his face away, and walked out without looking back.

The footsteps gradually faded away, and gradually no sound could be heard.After a long time, a few whistles came from outside the window, and then the suspension car vibrated and gradually moved away.

A familiar yet unfamiliar silence returned to his ears, and Heber turned his head and looked at the tall redbud tree with luxuriant branches and leaves outside the window.The trees that have been baptized by rain for several days are full of vitality.The afternoon sun rubs against the branches, exaggerating the vitality of summer.

Heber took a look, turned his head, and looked at his desk.Neat and numerous books are piled up on the books, filling up the empty study room, and even a glimmer of sunlight is blocked by obscurity.

She didn't know why and stood there, looked at it for a while, and after a long time, she sat back in her original position, looked at the messy report spread on the table, and pursed her lips.
