The Happy Life of a Duchess

The Alps in spring are truly picturesque.

It did not disappoint Adele's full expectations.

The Alps at this time are not the same as those of later generations.

At that time, roads had already been built, and there were relatively well-developed traffic everywhere. There were also plans for winding mountain roads or vegetation growth.

What's more special is that you can take a very convenient cable car directly from the foot of the mountain to the Alps, and you can also ski down directly from above.

But at this time, there is no cable car for Adele to be lazy.

However, there is no snow to cover the mountains, instead, it is full of spring scenery, the vegetation is growing vigorously, and the air is full of the fragrance of spring——

Just seeing it all with the eyes is enough to make people satisfied.

"Is it going in that direction?"

Adele asked in fairly fluent German, but the people here all spoke their local accents, and if they spoke slowly, they could understand it better, but if they spoke quickly, Adele would not understand at all.

Adele and Mr. Duval originally wanted to travel lightly, but unfortunately, although their luggage was placed in the hotel where the residents gathered at the foot of the mountain, there were still some gifts that they wanted to bring to Heidi and her relatives and friends our.

Both Mr. Adele and Mr. Duval felt that they should not be able to carry the big and small bags up and down, so they hired a worker here at the place where they got off the train.

Because the money was enough, the other party was willing to follow him all the way to the small village here.

After delivering the things, he can go back. If there is anything left, both Adele and Duval can hire people from the village to help.

People like them are very willing to be received by everyone. Generally speaking, they give generous money and can bring some outside things. For people who have almost never lived in a small mountain village, everything outside is a novelty .

However, they rely on the beautiful Alps and rely on the mountains to eat mountains. Whether they are grazing or planting some crops, as long as they are hardworking enough, they can basically support themselves and meet their daily needs.

Adele didn't dislike the environment here either. Although it was a small muddy shabby house, thinking that this was the foot of the mountain where Heidi studied, Adele thought it was very cute again.

"Adele!"

It was still early when Adele walked up the mountain.

She didn't know that after the beginning of spring, basically the children living on the mountain would go down the mountain to study or do some activities.

And today, Heidi just happened to go down the mountain too.

It was with her grandfather. After the cold winter, their family's food reserves were not much, so they naturally wanted to buy more in the early spring.

Heidi saw Adele at a glance, and she called out to her loudly. Adele turned around when she heard the sound, and opened her arms with her with a smile.

Like a cute mountain elf, Heidi ran fast, rushed towards her as if swaying, and then happily threw herself into her arms.

Heidi likes Adele, and also likes Mr. Duke. She likes and shares her experience in Paris with all the friends here. She also shared the gift she got with her friend, the sheep herding boy, and asked his mother to give him Made a nice little vest.

The fabric is so pretty, my friend has always been reluctant to wear it outside to get it dirty or damaged, but it is sure to show off in front of friends.

"Why are you here?"

Heidi's eyes were shining.

Because of farming and animal husbandry, some dirt and dust must have stuck to her body, but Adele didn't mind at all. She herself had rolled in the mud before, but her situation was a little special.

But Heidi is such a lovely little girl, how could she bear to refuse.

Heidi's grandpa is a serious and dignified gentleman.

He has a thick beard, and a pair of sharp eagle-like eyes. Although he is old, he is obviously a strong and energetic old man.

Adele held Heidi's hand and talked. As a shrewd politician, Mr. Duval naturally talked to Grandpa Heidi.

Although the other party didn't seem to have a strong desire to talk, Adele shared some time with Heidi after chatting, and found that although there were differences in identities, ages, views, thoughts, etc., the two seemed to be chatting. And although it doesn't look very cheerful and lively, the atmosphere is harmonious anyway, it doesn't look like he is about to be beaten by the old man——

Although Heidi's grandpa seemed to look at everyone as if he was going to hit someone, especially when other people focused on his granddaughter.

Adele doesn't mind this, it just shows that this is an old man who loves his granddaughter very much. Thinking of the process of losing his granddaughter before, she feels that all his temper and desire to protect are understandable.

What's more, Heidi is such a cute and lovable little girl. She is innocent, kind and ignorant, and the outside world is indeed very complicated. Even in the village, there may not be a little dirt.

Adele also remembered that in the original book, Heidi's grandfather seemed to be misunderstood by the villagers or something, anyway, it was not very happy.

Under such circumstances, she must be on the side that treats Heidi well, and sincerely wishes that the old and the young can live happily together forever.

Adele and Mr. Duval took up residence in the village.

The place they live in is not very luxurious, and it may not even be as decorated as the luxury box they live in on the train.

However, the interesting folk customs and beautiful natural scenery here are enough to make them intoxicated.

The surprises don't stop there.

When Adele and Duval planned to stay for two more days because they liked the scenery here, Clara was sent by her family.

Adele originally wanted to visit them, but because in the itinerary given, there would be more than half a month in the scheduled schedule before arriving in Frankfurt, so they didn't expect it, more than 20 days in advance God, see them here.

"My God, what a surprise!"

Adele exclaimed and hugged old Mrs. Sessman with a smile.

Their whole family has come, and they are planning to find some workers who carry sedan chairs to take Clara, who is in a wheelchair, to the place where Heidi and the others live in Shanshan.

"I'm going to have Clara and Heidi stay together for a while, that's her wish too."

Mrs. Sessman whispered to her as they went up the hill.

"Would you like it? Mr. Sessmann?"

Adele was a little surprised, but soon relieved, because she remembered that this seemed to be the development in the original book, and it was time for Clara to stand up.

So, in such a mood, Adele discussed with Mr. Duval, cut down the estimated time of staying in Frankfurt, and then saved some consumption for the rest of the journey. Under such circumstances, Adele You will be able to stay in the Alps for a longer period of time.

All the arrangements for the honeymoon were basically Adele's idea.

She was naturally keen on it, otherwise she wouldn't be playing around in modern times, and Mr. Duval was also very good-natured and always indulged her.

Even such a big thing is tolerated, let alone such a small thing.

Adele and the others stayed with her for a while longer, and they also got to see Clara, who had successfully stood up and completely overcome the knot in her heart, as she wished.

Seeing the shocked Mr. Sessman and his mother, Adele couldn't help laughing too.

"It's wonderful, isn't it?"

Adele whispered to Mr. Duval, he put his arms around her waist and let her lean in his arms.

"Did you expect that?"

He asked softly, neither of them wanted to disturb the amazed and happy atmosphere over there.

"How could it be, David."

Adele retorted calmly, and Mr. Duval didn't care about it any more.

"This is indeed a good place."

"yes……"

Such a surprise, culminated in the discovery that Adele was pregnant after they returned to Paris.

Counting the time, it seems that Adele was conceived during the time she stayed in the Alps.

Nothing could be happier than this.

Whether it's a future life as a mother, or something else—

For the future, both of them are full of expectations.
