[football] little princess

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Dublin is actually a very mild place, neither hot summer nor cold winter, and the weather is not as cloudy and rainy as Manchester. It is indeed a good place for patients to recuperate. Setlla conceded as much in Casey's cheery assessment, but Ferguson's face was sour all the way.He didn't want to see that old friend who had a relationship with him because of a racehorse, which of course was what the media said, but more because that damn Irishman never knew how to love his daughter.

The mansion of the Magnier family has stood in the suburbs for decades, and it is still in good condition under the renovation that keeps up with the times. Except for the wall where the balcony of Setlla's room is located, the wall is covered with ivy. All like brand new. Setlla wondered whether James and Charles, who had moved out, would return to the old house when their father died, or would it become the legendary castle.

In any case, even the servants were no longer familiar faces in the process of entering the door, which somewhat made Setlla a little sentimental.Even the eldest son Mark who came to greet them has become the old housekeeper. This young new boss does not have a natural rejection of Setlla like his father did. He is only three or four years older than Setlla, and he is still full of love The little princess of fantasy colors is very interesting.How does a woman who can't even take care of herself make people who don't watch football love Beckham and Ronaldo so much?

"Setlla, welcome home."

She didn't expect to see her father at the bottom of the stairs. You must know that he usually stays in the study or bedroom upstairs, waiting for his brothers and the housekeeper to report everything to him.Now there was a faint smile on his expressionless face. I don't know if he was happy that his daughter finally listened to his words, or he was really looking forward to her return.

"Alex, Cathy, long time no see." When nodding to the Fergusons, the elder with half-haired hair was polite, but the casual gray sweater and home pants revealed that he was so familiar with the guests from afar that he didn't need to meet in formal clothes.

"We have to go and see the little princess's room. It's okay if it doesn't suit you." Ferguson said bluntly to Magniel, with his hands behind his back, implying resistance to contact.Magniel didn't point it out, and asked the three of them to follow him to the side of the stairs, "This is the elevator I repaired a few days ago, so Setlla won't have to go up and down the stairs so much trouble."

Living on the first floor at the Fergusons' house had indeed reminded her of how seriously ill she was physically, and the purposeful elevator here only heightened the oddity. Setlla didn't know how to evaluate his father's measures. He could only say that maybe the time we lived together was too short, and he had so many delicate thoughts that he couldn't be expected to understand.

Her room is at the end of the clean corridor, next to the medical room. The layout is simple and well-equipped. The balcony is full of green plants. According to Magniel, she hopes that Setlla can maintain a good mood while recuperating.Up to now, the hidden reluctance of Casey and Ferguson has been fully revealed. During the process of eating together, the two of them never took their eyes off Setlla, and they didn't eat anything. Setlla felt sad and forced herself to eat well so as not to worry the couple.Magniel acted as if he was unaware of the sad atmosphere among the three of them throughout the whole process, and he methodically introduced the latest equipment in the medical room and the medical experts from all over the world he contacted.

If no one had given up on her life yet, Setlla felt that it would be good not to make efforts to cure the disease, at least she could spend her final time quietly and stay with the one who loved her.If God wanted to take her away early, why did she have to meet so many people who tried hard to keep her in the world?

When parting came, Setlla hugged Ferguson and Casey one by one. The Red Devils coach touched her head and assured her: "You will not be alone here, we will come to see you as soon as we have time, and Ryan Giggs, The Scholes boys...David should be here soon."

"David?" Setlla wasn't sure Ferguson was talking about Beckham, she had long forgotten that Beckham said he was going to Ireland for vacation.Ferguson affirmed this, "The day after tomorrow, according to him, it should be the day after tomorrow."

After Ferguson left, Jane, who was in charge of taking care of Setlla, came over and asked her if she wanted to go upstairs to rest. Setlla still missed Miss White a bit, but she nodded, determined not to cause any trouble to the work of the lady who also seemed to have children.

"It seems that you really like Beckham." Magnier said suddenly, and at the same time stepped into the elevator to go upstairs with Setlla. Setlla is not used to getting along with her father yet, but both reason and emotion tell her to learn to tolerate each other in the little time left.

"Well... I thought you already knew." She couldn't learn to speak lightly, and she would act like a baby with her father when she was a child, but now she can't do it.Fortunately, Magniel didn't say anything more, nodded and asked Jane to take care of Setlla, and then went back to the study.

As Ferguson said, Beckham really arrived in Dublin two days later, and he also came with his 11-year-old eldest son Brooklyn.Brooklyn and Setlla are the most familiar, the little guy was born when he was still in Manchester United, but she is not sure if he still remembers herself in the fifth grade.

When he came to Magnier's house, Beckham didn't seem very restrained. Surprisingly, even her father was very friendly to him.You must know that when the Magnier family sold their shares in Manchester United, they stated that they were no longer interested in football. The declaration seemed to be that they did not want to have anything to do with anyone in the football world.

"Come on, boy, eat our Irish handmade chocolates, bite into the fillings with ice cream and cream, you will definitely like it." At this time, Magniel, like any loving grandpa, took out snacks and Snacks to lure visiting little ones.Beckham smiled, as if saying to Setlla: Look, your father is not as cold-blooded as you imagined.

Setlla decided that she had to have a good talk with her father after this, but now, in Brooklyn, staring at her with a mouth full of dark chocolate and saying "Hi sister Setlla", she There is no way to think about other things besides stroking the child's head.Even if this title makes her a generation behind Beckham, it doesn't matter.

"Hey, hello Brooklyn, glad you remember me."

Brooklyn smiled shyly, sat next to Setlla and handed her a piece of chocolate, saying, "Dad often mentions you, and mom says my sister is like a princess."

Setlla was a little surprised that Victoria would describe herself in this way.But she reacted quickly and asked Brooklyn with a smile: "Then do you think my sister looks like it?"

Brooklyn replied immediately: "My sister is like an oriental princess. I have seen it in cartoons, Hua Mulan."

Setlla giggled and said "thank you" to Brooklyn several times, feeling grateful.Thank you Victoria for telling the kids she's like a princess and she loves this whole family she can't have.

Magniel suggested that they go out for a stroll, Brooklyn was excitedly preparing to act, and Setlla turned around and asked Magniel if he wanted to go with them.

"You young people, go, remember to call me if you want to eat out, and you must try Beshoff Fish & Chips, which is the most famous century-old restaurant in our place."

Beckham pushed Setlla's wheelchair out himself and asked Jane to help watch Brooklyn.They are going to walk for a while to relax before going to the city.Seeing that Setlla kept silent, Beckham asked her why she was unhappy, she shook her head and said: "I don't understand, since my father didn't want to freeze the relationship with me, why did he let me stay in Alex all this time?" home."

Beckham stopped what he was doing, and waved his hand to allow Brooklyn to play in the vegetable field next to him. Seeing this, Jane followed, and Setlla realized that he wanted to say something to herself alone, and couldn't help but clenched her palms nervously.

He knelt down to a position at eye level with her, and said slowly: "So little princess, you asked to live in Alex's house from the very beginning, and it was James and Charles who were always confronting you when you went back to get married?"

"Well, but I don't understand why he never ignores me."

Beckham sighed, "He didn't care. Indeed, he has only played horse racing since a long time ago, and he didn't even care about investment matters. The reason James came to Manchester to find you was nothing more than him and Charles and Bradey Parents' idea, after he knew about it, he stopped them immediately."

"So……"

"He thinks you are much happier living in Manchester than in Dublin." Beckham said firmly, but then he relaxed his expression, "Of course, I can't say that's the case, just from his performance today , I think it must be like this. Now he thinks that he can no longer sit back and watch you continue to slack off on his own life, so he invites you back. I think he can't help but want to see you at last."

"I don't understand...Loving someone shouldn't be like this." Setlla showed a very confused expression.

Beckham folded her hands, put them in his own, and said with a smile: "Love can be like this, you forget how you gave up on love, little princess."

Setlla smiled helplessly, "It's a bit strange to hear you remind me of this, it makes my hands itch and I want to beat you up."

"Well, yes." As he said that, the heartthrob turned his left cheek and said, "Hurry up before Brooklyn finds out."

Setlla pushed him away in disgust, but a smile leaked from the corner of her mouth.Beckham stood up, "Okay, I have to call my son back, but I can't let him run to the century-old store covered in mud."

That's it, Setlla thought, some things don't need to be delved into.
