one step away [Interstellar]

5.

"Good morning, my lady." Xia Zuo, who had just finished his morning exercise, came out of the training room and walked through the blossoming backyard of the Duke's Mansion, just in time to see Heber leading his servants watering.

Even during the vacation, Major General Xia Zuo still got up very early.The Duke's Mansion has a special training room. Even if you can't operate the mecha on the ground, you can still do some muscle training and shooting exercises properly.

The blond lady in a long beige dress handed the shower to the servant at the side, straightened her waist, and stared at the black-haired youth opposite with her ruby-like eyes.

The black-haired young man in a black sportswear looked very thin in the morning light, and his overly fair face made the major general who had taken off his military uniform very immature.Heber looked at her thin figure in front of the corridor, and felt that this young and promising major general was just a girl in the development stage.

"Good morning, did you just come back from the training room?" Heber nodded politely, with a warm smile on his red pupils.The major general under the corridor nodded and walked in, "Well, have you come to play with these gadgets so early? Have you had breakfast?"

"Yes." Hebe looked up, only to find that a girl who was so thin that she seemed to be in the development period walked in front of her.It was only after she got close to her that she realized again that the other party was a young alpha.

The difference in stature, which was a full shoulder taller than her, brought overwhelming pressure.Heber subconsciously wanted to take a step back, but he felt that this was not appropriate, so he stood where he was.

"The camellias of Arzepinhe will be very beautiful when they bloom." Xia Zuo looked past the blonde beauty in front of him, and landed on the camellia with only a few flower buds.The flower buds surrounded by colorful flowers are so young, but they also contain the charm that makes people look forward to.

"Yes, do you like it too? Do you want me to put a few pots on your windowsill as well?" Heber clearly saw the admiration in alpha's eyes, so he couldn't help suggesting.

Xia Zuo waved his hand, "Thank you for your kindness, but I'm not very good at growing flowers. I don't have your skills. I just hope that when the flowers bloom, you can let me look at them more, it will definitely bloom It's beautiful."

The young alpha has a clean smile, and the waves in those gentle blue eyes are extremely clear.Such tactful compliments made Heber not only pursed his lips and chuckled, but looked up at the tall and thin alpha and said softly, "Okay, it's a great honor. Are you going to have breakfast? How about going there together?"

"Okay." Xia Zuo nodded, and walked to the restaurant with Omega beside him.

The morning exercise took a long time, and it was already late for breakfast.Xia Zuo watched the woman on the opposite side eating with her hands clean, only to realize that the "yes" only responded to the first half of the sentence.

She looked at the elegant young woman opposite, and frowned slightly, "You don't have to wait for me, please eat first." After all, she is still pregnant, isn't she?

Heber just smiled and said, "Is breakfast still to your liking?"

Xia Zuo, who was used to eating uniform milk and sandwiches in the army, looked at the very rich breakfast in front of her and nodded, "It couldn't be better." Indeed, for her, this is really a rare enjoyment.

"As long as you like it." The beautiful Omega nodded, "Please eat more."

Xia Zuo didn't know how to deal with such a gentle omega, so he had to eat breakfast in silence.

For Xia Zuo, Heber is just some unfamiliar people who should be familiar with.As the brother's wife, Heber should be her relative. Although she is not very familiar with her, this relationship cannot be changed.So, after the father's death, the woman who clearly controlled the duke's mansion treated her as tenderly as a considerate brother-in-law.

Although the other party was originally her sister-in-law.

This... doesn't seem so bad.

It's just a short one night, after learning about the situation of the bastard brother, Xia Zuo has a certain liking for the woman in front of him who doesn't like her husband but can't get rid of the shackles of marriage.

She decided, during the brief time they spent together, to be kind to the woman who had been kind to her.

After breakfast, Heber continued to work.Xia Zuo, who had already left his official duties due to the holiday, sat in the study, nestled on the wicker chair by the windowsill, casually flipping through a book.

She has been in Saas for many years, and she has accumulated a lot of vacations, which are far from enough in just two months.Because of this, no one would harass her during the holidays, so the leisurely life made the major general who likes to find himself in strategic deployment a little uncomfortable.

The weather in Granville is very good, and today is no exception.The blue sky overlooks the earth, spreading warm light all over the world.Xia Zuo leaned on the balcony of the study, with his back against the railing and the good weather, facing the spacious study, flipping through the tome in his hand time after time.

The sun hit the eyelids, warm and drowsy.Holding the book in her hands, she turned her head to look at the bright sky not far away, and stretched her body.

Looking around tediously, the alpha with good eyesight found the blond woman in the flowery courtyard at a glance.

She was wearing a long off-white dress, and the delicately cut clothes outlined her exquisite figure.Xia Zuo's eyes couldn't help moving down inch by inch, sweeping across her plump breasts and upturned buttocks, and finally landed on her slightly raised belly.

She's only been pregnant for more than three months... I can't even tell.

she thinks.

The sun fell on the dazzling platinum long hair, and the silky long hair was spread on the back, and it was as transparent as white under the sun.Such a soft color outlines the aura around the woman more clearly.

gorgeous……

Inexplicably, Xia Zuo thought of the scene he saw when he opened the window last night, as if...as if...seeing the legend on the shore of Lake Nishaina, the goddess holding a water bottle was slowly walking towards her.

Xia Zuo, who was dazed by the sun, didn't realize how outrageous his thoughts were, but simply admired the charm emanating from this person.

She watched Hebe bow her head, and spoke in a low voice to the maid beside her, Nisan.The distance was too far, Xia Zuo couldn't hear what she said at all.But one could feel the tenderness and joy in Heber's expression.

A few mischievous strands of long pale golden hair slipped from the temples, swaying with the wind, gently rubbing against the fair cheeks.Xia Zuo half-closed his eyes, his blue pupils hid the dark light of the deep sea.From such a distance, she looked at the woman, watched her stretch out her thin white fingers to hook the scattered sideburns behind her head, and finally saw the soft smile on the woman's lips.

Xia Zuo involuntarily fixed his gaze on the other party. The book on the coffee table still stayed in its original place after a long time, without turning a single page.

After a while, a servant came hurriedly from the corridor, said a few words to Heber, and left in a hurry.The smile on the gentle woman's face faded a lot, replaced by a embarrassed frown.

What is it?Xia Zuo thought so, and then saw the woman put down the things in her hands and walked towards the living room.

Heber was no longer seen, as if he lost his interest again, Xia Zuo turned his attention back to the tome in his hand, and began to flip through it intermittently.

Not long after, the door of the study was knocked.

"Your Excellency, Miss Lisa is visiting, Madam invites Your Excellency to meet with me." The servant's voice sounded outside the door, attracting Xia Zuo's attention immediately.

Your Excellency the Major General, who didn't read many books at all, closed the tome in his hand and put it lightly on the coffee table.She stood up and said to the servant outside the door, "I see, I'll be right here."

She said, and walked out with her slender legs lifted.

After waiting in the living room, Xia Zuo saw two ladies sitting on the banquet sofa.The elegant lady in a long skirt is of course her eldest sister-in-law. As for the lady sitting opposite her in a black suit, with gold-rimmed glasses and her long hair curled up, she looks very capable. Miss Lisa of Legal Counsel.

It was the first time Xia Zuo saw this person, but he still nodded his head as a greeting.Then he hesitated for a while, walked to the vacant seat beside Heber, and sat down.

The oppression of Alpha's height made Heber subconsciously take a defensive stance.She moved away a little bit calmly, and then said to the young man beside her, "Your Excellency, this is the legal counsel, Miss Lisa."

"Hello." Out of alpha's politeness, Xia Zuo, who could tell at a glance that the woman opposite was an Omega, greeted first.

"Good day, Your Excellency." Lisa nodded, looked at the two people opposite and said, "Since both of you are here, I'll get straight to the point first."

"Forgive me for taking the liberty to visit. I should have visited ten days later according to the schedule, but now both of you have time, so it is better to settle it earlier." Lisa pushed her glasses, and then said, "Thanks to the trust of the old duke , and handed over the heavy responsibility of proclaiming the will to me."

"Hmm... Where's Lynn? He should be there to announce the will, right?" Xia Zuo frowned as he looked at the capable lady across from him.

Even if he doesn't like his brother, he should be there when the will is declared as part of the family.

"Actually, it was the Marquis Lynn who invited me over, and he will be here in a while." The lady showed a embarrassed expression, as if she had been greatly coerced.

Xia Zuo frowned, and was about to say something, when he heard a voice from outside the door, "Do I need to talk to someone when I go back to my home now?"

So he raised his eyes and saw the man with the same black hair as her but amber eyes.

"Xia Zuo..." As if he had seen a ghost, the young man's complacent face revealed a look of surprise, "How did you come so fast?"

Doesn't she live in Nice?Damn it, this guy's intelligence work is really not in place, he thought he could at least bluff that woman before Xia Zuo also arrived.

Involuntarily, Lin En set his sights on the beautiful Omega behind Xia Zuo, and frowned dissatisfiedly.

"I live at home, what's wrong? Lynn." The alpha's extremely oppressive eyes fell on his brother, and the fear from the genes clamored to make Lynn sweat profusely.The Marquis, who was already confident in his chest, trembled his lips, afraid to take a step forward.

"What the hell are you doing? Lynn." Xia Zuo stared at the man not far away, his voice was majestic and cold.

Not long after your father was buried, are you so impatient to divide up the inheritance?
