The Happy Life of a Duchess

Throughout the ball, Mr. Duval was recognized by Adele's family for his constant care for his fiancée and the unconcealed love in his eyes.

Originally, the ball held by Adele's house was a formal announcement to her relatives and friends, but although the matter had been settled, not everyone understood the situation and recognized the man. Naturally, as the woman's family, they The main thing is to gather joy and look at attitude.

Mr. Duvall's performance could not have been more qualified.

Although at the beginning, everyone still had some concerns about his age. After all, girls of Adele's age seemed to choose younger men of the same age, but seeing the two of them get along, they knew This is a pair of unmarried couples who are perfectly suitable but also have friendship with each other.

Mrs Seisman said several times how well they fit, such words.

Among other things, both of them are elites in terms of temperament and appearance, and they look like beauties with heroes, which is really seductive and enviable.

The liveliness of the dance was beyond imagination.

The dance party, which was supposed to end around two or three o'clock, dragged on until after four o'clock, and it was almost half dawn at five o'clock before all the guests were bid farewell.

Mrs. Stan and Mrs. Sessmann are getting older, but as relatives of Adele, they persisted until the end. Even the Duke's father made another exception to his own health care. He persisted until the end, even drinking wine After a lot, they all started talking nonsense later.

Once, because Mr. Sessman was standing next to him, he called Adele by the wrong name, and called her sister's name——

The nickname of her dead sister, Mrs. Sethman's wife.

At that time, Mr. Sessman's expression was really indescribable.

But he realized the moment he yelled wrong, and Adele didn't really mind.

Why bother with an old drunk dad about this?

Maybe he was just in love with the scene, maybe it was just because of alcohol that he remembered his unfortunate children who couldn't go on, maybe he suddenly recalled that the Sessmans held a dance at Bailu Manor in the same way, and he personally saw him off...

On the contrary, after Mr. Duke made a mistake, his expression was a bit gloomy, and he was uncomfortable with Adele, as if he felt a little guilty. After all, this was his youngest daughter's engagement party, but he called her by the wrong name. Although only a few people heard it.

The wine probably sobered up a little bit. It was Adele who persuaded him for a long time before the father, who suddenly felt guilty, realized that his daughter was not angry with him because of it.

"Thinking about what?"

"Thinking of my sister."

Mr. Sessman's complexion was not very good. He had a deep relationship with his late wife, and she could actually see this.

Adele once speculated about their past, and finally determined that if a princess who was born in a wealthy family could choose to "marry" a gentleman, she must really like him very much, and the other party really moved her .

Although the duke's father was somewhat reluctant, this marriage was finally approved by the Juradi couple. If he really treats her sister badly or has a problem with his character, it will be like Mrs. Costa's previous marriage. Like that love affair, it will definitely be dismantled by various means.

The only problem they have is probably just a little difference in their status.

If it is not true love, who is willing to let go of the wealth and comfort, and instead take the risk of life ups and downs with the other half?

"..." Mr. Duval was silent for a while.

"What about you?" Adele suddenly turned her head, the guests were almost gone, and the rest were Mrs. Stan, the Duke's father, and Alvin's cousin who were seeing off, and it was not necessary for Adele, a young lady who was just engaged, to go. What are you entertaining.

"...Huh?" Mr. Duval was a little surprised.

"Will you miss your former wife?"

This is the first time Adele has asked about it. She rarely asks about each other's love history or past, and she also knows that this is not a proper way to live a good life.

Sometimes, it is really necessary to turn a blind eye to be able to continue living smoothly.

It would be very foolish to dwell on the other person's past, which has long since ended, instead of focusing on the present he has bothered to manage.

But she just remembered it suddenly, and felt it.

If Mr. Sessman were to marry another wife, even if it was the deceased wife's natal family, Adele and others could understand it.

Just as Clara needs someone who is a mother to guide her, and Mr. Sethman is really under pressure to manage the inside and outside by himself. He was busy with work before and didn't have time to care about Clara. Of course he wanted to avoid it, but objectively Generally speaking, it is indeed impossible for this gentleman who runs around doing business to stay at home with his daughter all the time. At this time, the child really needs someone who is a reliable elder, especially a mother, to take care of him. This is also the most appropriate way.

Of course, there are some problems involved in this. For example, Clara may not want others to appear to take the sole position of her mother. For example, Mr. Sessman still can't let go of his dead wife and is unwilling to remarry.

But in the objective conditions and the consciousness of everyone, if Mr. Sethman wants to marry another wife, it is a very reasonable thing. As Clara's relatives, they only need to pay attention to whether this new wife can support her. Clara gave enough care without being too partial.

Each family is the life of each family. Even the old Mrs. Sethman would not interfere too much with her son's private life. Even if it is a married life, the first thing is to be decent, and other things will be considered later.

As others, even if they cared about Clara, they couldn't really say anything to ask Mr. Sessman not to remarry forever. The Duke's father would never do this, and Adele had no such idea.

"That's a really hard question to answer."

Mr. Duval smiled helplessly, and Adele didn't have to answer, she just kept smiling.

"Do you want to hear the truth?" he asked.

"If possible." After Adele finished speaking, both of them laughed.

Mr. Duval understood what she meant, which meant that it didn't matter if she allowed him to lie about this question, even if he lied to her, and Adele only wanted to explore the men's feelings when they faced this.

"I married her very young, and she was the 'right' wife for me at home, and she did really well." He sighed.

"Perhaps I was also moved by her, but those so-called temptations can't stand the passage of time. Besides, I also told you that I used to be different from what I am now. I used to be very... romantic, and Jia The Earl of West Asia and others are somewhat similar, and they have contacted... not many people."

Adele raised her eyebrows slightly. She thought she would feel sad and jealous, but found that she only had emotions similar to happiness and peace at this time.

She just felt that she had met him at the best time for her, and she had actually understood what he meant.

He was also an immature gentleman with many women.

Even a wife is just a not very deep and complicated symbol in his heart, arranged for him by the family, maybe there is some family love, but after all, it didn't leave a deep mark in his heart.

He didn't mention it very much, because he really didn't miss her very much. Ten years had been enough to blur his memory of her voice, appearance and appearance, and there were not many memories left of her.

His later life has long been occupied by the daily life of bringing the children left alone and more complicated political careers and work. There is not so much love and love, but more for the daily necessities of life and political affairs. The clouds are filled with treacherous waves.

Logically, everyone thought that there should be some kind of nostalgia for the deceased, let alone a woman of such status.

But Mr. Duval can't lie to himself, and he doesn't want to lie to Adele. He is very ashamed that he doesn't have much emotion similar to love in that person. Too "asshole" apologies.

But it was those women with different identities in front of him, including this deceased wife whom he did not miss much but respected, that shaped the current Mr. Duval, a dignified, self-restraining, stable and upright Mr. Duval.

There is no guilt at all—how did he understand the importance of respecting and loving his wife during those step-by-step growth, and how could he tolerate and care for Adele, who has an independent personality and unique ideas?

Seeing so many men, they will never learn to respect their wives, thank her for taking care of the family and children, appreciate each other's contributions and respect each other's ideas and independent personality...

Even in modern times, even in Europe, there are still men who are not a thing, but in comparison, they are really much better, but not now, there are very few who can do this.

And Mr. Duval relied on his own knowledge, the experience and lessons accumulated bit by bit in the past, and the getting along with Adele to get where he is today.

Mr. Duval knew that she was not such a narrow-minded girl, although she sometimes showed some little tempers that he couldn't stop.

Adele also knew that he was talking to her frankly, his words were full of sincerity, and he couldn't hide his full care for her, so she wouldn't be angry about it.

"It's a bit unbelievable." Adele smiled and took his hand, and leaned into his arms. There were not many people around, but there were still guests, but she didn't care anymore.

Adele never thought that she would come to this era. After returning to Paris from Barigne, she made many guesses about her future, but she never thought that she would fall in love with the hero's father.

The last and luckiest outcome of her audacity was the greatest happiness she had so far grasped.

"Yes." Mr. Duval nodded, knowing why she was so emotional.

"When I first arrived in Paris, I never thought that I would be so irresistibly attracted to a young and beautiful lady."

"But now, I just feel that I can come to Paris-the luckiest thing is not that I became the chief tax officer as everyone thinks, but-"

"Among all the intersections with me, I met you."
