one step away [Interstellar]

8.

Xia Zuo's attitude surprised Heber a little. She didn't expect that after learning that Lin En had someone else outside, this younger sister who was not very close to her clearly expressed her protection for herself, instead of The elder brother who thinks he cheated is not much at fault.

In a marriage, the one who suffers is always the wife. No matter if she is married to a beta or an alpha, Omega will always face trivial gossip after divorce.In addition, in today's concept, there is always a lot of tolerance for the husband, and cheating is really too small a problem.

As an Omega, Heber married an ordinary Beta in an era when the concept of abo class is approaching equality. It was originally something that deserved the sympathy of some privileged nobles.And the current beta husband is still cheating, no matter what, Heber who is not divorced can always occupy the right to speak.

Whether it's sympathy, or out of pity, Heber, who has lost confidence in his indifferent husband during the three years of marriage, is still a little surprised and happy when facing Xia Zuo's attitude.

At least... At least... The attitude of the young man opposite was obviously accusing his elder brother of betraying his marriage, rather than thinking that the problem of the other party's cheating was on Heber as his wife.

The hands unconsciously protect the lower abdomen, where a small life is growing slowly and healthily.Just as the new shoots in spring break through the darkness against the soil, Hebe's heart is also full of hope for this child.

Since this is a helpless thing, since she can't get rid of the shackles of this marriage, she will live and walk together with this child.

More than a month ago, Heber, who learned that her husband had someone else outside, had such thoughts when she learned that she had a child.At this time, she had never imagined that life would be so impermanent.

Standing opposite her, Xia Zuo lowered his eyes, watching her caressing her lower abdomen, pursing his lips silently.

After leaving the Duke's mansion with a look of resentment, Lynn hurried back to Landoville's house.Damn it, I thought that after my father died, I could get rid of that woman, but my father left such a will, which meant that he would have nothing after the divorce.

"Damn that bitch of the Fox family, she did such a thing." After opening the door, Lynn cursed and pulled his tie, and walked towards the hall.

"Lyn...you're back." The boy sitting in the study doing his homework heard his lover's voice, came out of the study barefoot, and jumped into Lynn's arms.

The underdeveloped boy had a waist as slender as a willow branch. Lin En hurriedly hugged him, embracing his increasingly plump body due to pregnancy, and the anger on his face eased a little. "Yes, I'm back, does little Harlan miss me?"

"Think." The boy nodded, and nestled into his arms obediently, and was embraced by him on his lap, and sat on the sofa in his arms. "Are you done with today's work?"

The boy has a very delicate and lovely face, innocent and touching. At this moment, he hooked Lynn's button and looked at him with searching eyes.

"This... Harlan..." Lin En frowned, thinking about the previous events, he was in a bad mood, "That nasty woman deceived my father and even handed over the rest of the property to her .”

Almost gnashing his teeth, Lynn told what happened in the Duke's mansion.The little boy nestled in his arms had an ugly expression on his face, and he barely suppressed his reluctance by pinching his fingers.Putting his arms around the man's shoulders, he comforted him softly, "It doesn't matter if you don't get a divorce... Lynn... I will always only love you..."

"It's just... I wronged you." The boy's understanding made Lin En feel more comfortable. Compared with the woman at home who couldn't even have fun in bed, such a cute boy was the true love he was after.

Feeling sorry for the boy who could understand his pain, Lynn put his arms around him and coaxed him softly, "Don't worry, even if I can't get a divorce, I will only belong to you, and I will never touch anyone else except you, hmph, after this time Don't think about me going back, I will divorce her when the child is born."

"But Lynn... so... that sister is your wife and has your child. Are you willing?" The boy pouted aggrievedly, with tears in his eyes, ready to cry.

"Stupid child, I only love you alone. The one here is my child." He stretched out his hand, stroking the slightly raised belly of the person in his arms, with a gentle expression on his face, "Come on, tell Dad, are you good today?" good."

"Don't make trouble..." The boy patted the hand on his lower abdomen away coquettishly, restrained the trace of contempt in his eyes, put on his smile again, and dealt with the man who was hugging him.

He said he loved him, but changed his mind not to divorce because of the family property. In the final analysis, this love still couldn't match his desire.Hmph, but that's okay, anyway, what he's looking for is not the hypocritical love of this wimpy man.

It's just... If he doesn't get divorced, the Duchess of Bauhinia is not a position that a beta male can have.We must find a way...at least...

The boy with an immature face hooked a smile, and underneath his innocent expression was the greed in the struggle of desire.

The inheritance of the duke's mansion began to be handed over three days later, and the nobles who heard about it in San Lorenzo sneered at the behavior of the soon-to-be successor duke.As a beta, it is very rare to obtain an omega of noble blood, but the Marquis, who is not of noble blood, does not cherish it, and even tries to divorce his noble wife to marry a boy who is also a beta. No wonder the old duke There will be such a will.

Leaving the property under his name to the unborn child, one is to maintain the purity of the blood of the duke's mansion, and the other is to allow his confused son to have a way out.The duke's good intentions for his son, whether in front of him or after his death, are worthy of moving, and it makes people feel that he is confused.

In order to implement the results of the affirmative action movement, he could completely ignore the excellent alpha heirs in the family. I don't know what the duke thinks.

Faced with such a situation, the old-fashioned aristocrats and the reformers felt a little sympathetic to the alpha major general. After all, even if the property is divided, it is very hard to protect the family clearly before getting married.

The old duke's preference for the eldest son made it difficult for many people to understand.But Xia Zuo, who was left out in the cold, didn't care at all. After all, her father gave everything that should be given to her, and now she has a place in the border guards by herself, with a bright future, and there is nothing wrong with it.

It's just that she doesn't care, some people feel sorry for her.

For the fact that the good-for-nothing Marquis Beta will inherit the Duke's mansion in three months, both his best friend and teacher feel a little regretful.Seemingly seeing the old duke's family property being ruined, he still chose to hint at Xia Zuo taking some means to fight for something.On the contrary, Xia Zuo's mother, Princess Estelle, was very happy, encouraging her daughter to take good care of the property, and get married early to withdraw from the Duke's mansion.

Xia Zuo, who was still at home, laughed it off.

The marital status of Heber and Lynn did not affect the relationship between Xia Zuo and Heber. This young alpha did not consciously continue to live in the empty duke's mansion with the unmarked Omega, and established a good relationship .

"Are you teaching her music? Very nice voice."

In the warm afternoon, the tall bauhinia tree in the courtyard was gently caressed by the breeze, shaking the flowers of May to the ground.The breeze climbed up the window sill, rolled the Misis-style curtains that fell to the ground, and blew into the empty piano room.

In front of the huge tripod piano, a lady with long platinum hair was sitting upright. Her slender fingertips rested on the keys, leaving the lingering sound of the end of the song that could not be dissipated in the empty room for a long time.

Hearing the sound coming from outside the door, Heber, who finished the last piece, looked up, his eyes passed the piano stand, and fell on the female alpha leaning against the door.

Alpha with blue eyes has a slender and slender body, leaning against the door like a tall and straight sycamore tree.The unchanging white shirt and gray suspender suit pants outline the already slender body even thinner.Heber raised his head, just happened to look into those blue pupils, and saw the smile in the other's eyes, showing a soft smile unconsciously.

"Are you trying to train her to be a musician? It's a pretty good choice." The young alpha held the book in his hand, looked at the woman sitting in front of the piano, and joked with a smile.

"It would be nice if she had this talent." He Bo smiled, looking at Xia Zuo who was holding a book, his eyes were soft, "Did I interrupt your reading?"

"It's not..." Saying this, Xia Zuo, who was leaning against the door, took a step towards Heber, "I just heard a moving voice, like the sound of heaven that makes people yearn for, and followed the sound."

It seems to be an innate instinct, the words of this young female alpha are always very pleasant.Heber frowned and smiled softly, "Thank you for your appreciation."

"Kalenke's First Prelude..." His slender, white fingertips landed on the shiny piano. Xia Zuo held a book in one hand, stood sideways by the piano, and looked down at the woman sitting in front of the piano. , said with a smile, "If I remember correctly, it's this song, right?"

"Your Excellency is really well-informed." Heber was taken aback for a moment, not expecting that the other party would be familiar with this piece of music.

"No, it's just that my mother likes this musician very much. When I was a child, I often heard the music of this musician in my mother's study." Xia Zuo smiled and explained, "But in fact, I don't know anything about music. , I often failed music classes in school when I was a teenager. It's not like you, ma'am, are... well... knowledgeable and talented."

Heber smiled helplessly, and said, "Do you always want to make things so embarrassing?" The words of praise came so easily. In fact, if it wasn't for the familiarity for a few days, Heber would really think that the other party was teasing she is gone.

Xia Zuo frowned slightly, with a troubled expression on his face, "It's not... I'm just used to telling the truth. Kalenke is a great musician. Her music is full of struggles against the turbulent fate, and the new life Longing. Let the child listen to such music, and she will definitely become a resolute and courageous person."

As the first Omega musician to stand out from alpha in the history of music, Kalenk's music is as moving as her person.Even though musicians try their best to cover up her greatness nowadays, some people still admire her very much.

Xia Zuo's mother, Princess Estelle, is one of them, but Xia Zuo didn't expect that Omega, who looks very weak in front of him, also likes this musician, and chooses this music for prenatal education.

"It's really an unpredictable thing." Not everyone has the courage to challenge convention like this musician.Heber thought so, looked at Alpha's sincere eyes, restrained the trace of melancholy in his eyes, "I hope this child will do what you said."

"With a mother like you, she will." Xia Zuo smiled, and tapped his index finger on the smooth surface of the piano, hesitating for a moment, "Do you want to continue? I mean, the time of prenatal education should be over."

"It's like this..." Heber looked up at her, his agate-like pupils were a little searching, "You are... what else is there?"

"Well, it's a little thing, the weather is fine today." The slender thumb unconsciously rubbed the thick book cover, somewhat concealed, the young major general said with some anticipation and indescribable excitement, "I can... invite you to join me Would you like some afternoon tea?"

Heber was taken aback, and a soft smile hung on his lips, "It's a great honor."

As Xia Zuo said, the weather today is very good.The sun lazily fell into the courtyard, rubbing against the tall redbud tree, and casting sparse light and shadow among the dense branches and leaves.

In the center of the courtyard full of flowers, there is an exquisite corridor courtyard.Compared with the tall and prosperous skyscrapers in the imperial capital, the aristocratic manor in Granville has the silence of ancient traditions.

In the warm sunshine, Xia Zuo sat in the wicker chair, holding a small celadon teapot, and slowly poured brown tea into the clean white teacup on the table.The teacup was gradually filled with the sound of drizzling water, Xia Zuo stretched out his hand, pushed the poured tea to the lady opposite, and gestured, "Zebu Pinhe black tea, the new tea received yesterday, so I want to find someone to taste it with Hmm...my skill at making tea should be pretty good."

"Your Excellency is humble, and the technique is very professional." Heber said, picked up the teacup handed over by Alpha, and took a sip from his lips, "Well, it's delicious."

She said, put down the teacup in her hand, looked at the major general who was tasting tea, and asked lightly, "Do you like black tea, sir? I thought it would be..."

"Is green tea right?" Xia Zuo smiled, took a sip, and continued, "So the afternoon tea prepared for me is all green tea."

Heber smiled apologetically, "It was my mistake."

"No... I'm not blaming the lady, I just want to invite you to drink tea." Xia Zuo smiled, "I really can't blame you. Because my father likes green tea, and he doesn't like black tea, so at home I try to choose the same flavors as my father. I should have told you about that."

"I was just thinking that there are not many people at home. If you have time and don't mind, can I invite you to have a cup of tea together." Putting down the teacup in his hand, the young major general smiled, looked at the lady opposite and said, "After all, my vacation is too long, and I feel a little lonely alone."

The author has something to say: So you came to tease your sister-in-law, right?
