[Comprehensive British and American] My Neighbor Mr. Holmes

"What are you thinking?"

William couldn't help laughing when he heard that. He looked at the Count of Monte Cristo's calm face and said, "The truth is, he is not. You and Thaddeus may only be 'mother-in-law' and 'son-in-law' in the future."

"What are you kidding, you don't understand at all."

The Count of Monte Cristo looked at William "calmly", his gray eyes were filled with gold, "I knew that Thétis must be my bride since I was a child, we grew up together, played together, and picked up flowers along the coastline Picking up broken shells, playing together on the beach, sitting on the beach watching the sunrise and sunset, even when I was engaged, I thought I was the happiest person in the world, because I couldn’t help but have a bride who loved me, And the life I like, but…”

William lowered his eyes slowly, he glanced at the swaying branches and leaves of the wisteria, and he understood.

"However, it turns out that you and Thaddeus were not together in the end, didn't they?" William said, "Since you have no fate, why are you still persistent."

"I'm not obsessed," the Count of Monte Cristo seemed to have discovered something, and stood up as he spoke. He approached step by step, pushed aside the dense branches of wisteria, looked at the person hiding inside, and said every word , as if chanting, "I'm just missing, missing those days."

"I just didn't expect that I would meet Thaddeus here, let alone that Thaddeus is your mother, Albert."

The Count of Monte Cristo's words fell, and he stretched out his hand to embrace Albert who was buried behind the flower tree, and his tone carried his unique mature charm, "Fate really likes to joke, isn't it, but luckily I met Here you are, Albert."

William opened his mouth, and he hesitated the moment he saw Abel smile through tears.

Does the Count of Monte Cristo love Abel?

He didn't know.

"Mr. William Stoker."

Before William could say anything, he heard the Count of Monte Cristo calling his name, and said to Albert whose eyes were still red, "Abel, Mr. William Stoke has been waiting for you for a long time."

"William, William," Albert looked at William, his face flushed, "I'm sorry, I was too impatient just now, and I caused you to come here so late."

When Albert said this, he suddenly realized something, looked at William in surprise, although he found it incredible, "William, were you nearby just now?"

"This is not important, what is important is, Albert, do you really love the Earl?"

William did not answer Albert's previous question, he looked at him with green eyes and asked, "Do you know that the Earl really loves you?"

William wasn't worried that the Count of Monte Cristo would hurt him, he was just worried that Abel's foolishness hadn't made it clear yet.

"I..." Albert said hesitantly, "I don't know either, but I think I love him, just like you said."

"I originally hoped that you would love him, but now, I hope that he can love you, Albert," William finished, watching the Count of Monte Cristo smile at him indifferently, not caring at all that William wanted expose him.

"I don't know how to tell you, Albert, because this matter is too complicated, but please watch and listen carefully with your eyes. Sometimes, the truth of things is often different from what you see. What I heard and what I heard didn’t match.”

William said, pausing for a moment, he walked into Albert, reached out to hold his hand, and said, "The Earl of Monte Cristo's original name was Edmund Don Tyson, and you may know that he is your mother's fiancé, but you Do you know why your mother didn't marry him?"

Albert looked at William, he vaguely guessed something, opened his mouth, and finally said the conclusion he thought of, "It was my father who took my mother away, right?"

"That's right, your father took your mother away. On the day they got engaged, he was taken away and thrown into prison," William said here, looking at Albert's increasingly gloomy face, he continued, "He I came back this time for revenge."

Albert did not speak, he stood quietly, his eyes drooped, and his slender eyelashes formed a shadow under his eyes, covering his expression.

The Count of Monte Cristo looked at Albert sideways, without explaining, but just looked at him quietly, with a faint smile on his face, still looking noble, mature and charming.

"Maybe it's fate."

Albert was silent for a long time, and suddenly said, "Perhaps, I am paying my father for all his sins."

As he spoke, Albert looked at the Count of Monte Cristo, his eyes lost their previous brilliance and became somewhat dull.

"You didn't hide from me," Albert smiled suddenly, his eyes filled with water at some point, he looked at the Count of Monte Cristo, his voice choked up, "you told me about this , However, I foolishly thought that this matter had nothing to do with me, I, I... I was so stupid."

"Albert," William took a step forward, wanting to reach out to hug him and give him strength, but Albert refused.

"I'm fine, William, maybe like you said, I'm really well protected...I want to be quiet."

Albert said, showing a bleak smile at William, and ran out of the greenhouse.

"Albert!"

William wanted to chase, but was stopped by the Count of Monte Cristo.

"Don't go, he needs to figure it out for himself."

The count of Monte Cristo's worry flashed across his face. He looked at the direction Albert left for a long time before continuing, "I didn't intend to deceive him, let alone hurt his heart."

"But you still broke his heart."

William said, standing side by side with the Count of Monte Cristo, looking at the direction Albert left and said, "However, that's good, at least, he won't be kept in the dark, otherwise, he must be very sad in the end .”

"What exactly are you thinking?"

After William finished speaking, he looked at the Count of Monte Cristo and asked.

"I don't hate Albert."

The Count of Monte Cristo said, walking out of the greenhouse step by step, every inch of his footsteps seemed to be measured with a ruler, but his speed was a little faster than usual.

Seeing this, William smiled knowingly. He sat on the sofa under the wisteria, sniffing the faint fragrance of flowers with his nose. For some reason, William felt sleepy.

Lying on the sofa, seeing the delicate flowers of wisteria in sight, William yawned and slowly closed his eyes.

I don't know how long it took, when William was half asleep and half awake, it seemed that someone was calling him, and that person's voice was like a ray of breeze blowing into his heart, which made him unable to restrain his joy.

"Are you still studying today?"

The man seemed to be patting his head, with a doting tone in his voice, "What a good and sensible boy."

William could clearly feel what he said, but he couldn't hear it clearly, which made him a little anxious. He wanted to run to that person in a hurry, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't get there. people's side.

"Sorry, I won't be able to accompany you in the future."

There was a hint of indelible sadness in that man's voice, and William looked hard. It was a pair of black eyes, like the most dazzling star in the night sky, which made people unable to help being fascinated.

Why can't you accompany me in the future?

William wanted to ask, but he couldn't say a word at all. He struggled to grab the man's clothes, and when he was about to look at him in surprise, he heard the old butler Andris shouting to him in surprise, "Master Stoke, Master Stoke?"

William opened his eyes and saw that his hands were tightly clutching the clothes of the old housekeeper Andris.

"Mr. Andris," William glanced at him in confusion, then suddenly came back to his senses, and let go of the clothes he held tightly in his hand, "Sorry, I had a dream."

"It looks like a sad dream."

The serious face of the old butler Andris showed a loving look, he looked at William and said.

"A sad dream?" William was stunned. "Maybe, I don't remember what my dream was about."

"That's a pity."

The old butler Andris said, putting the blanket in his hand aside, "I heard the servant said that you fell asleep, so I want to cover you with a blanket. Although the temperature in the greenhouse is very high, there must always be a blanket. It's comfortable to cover."

"Thank you," William said with a smile, and asked again, "What time is it?"

"It's almost here."

The old butler Andris took out his pocket watch and glanced at it, and said seriously, "Master Stoke, please sleep a little longer."

"Where's Albert?"

Only then did William realize that he had come here for Albert, but unexpectedly fell asleep.

"Master Albert has fallen asleep," said the old butler Andris. "He wanted to call you back to your room, but he didn't wake you up because you were in a deep sleep."

Hearing the news that Albert had fallen asleep, William let out a sigh of relief.

"Well, I'll sleep for a while and call me at eight o'clock."

As William said, he said good night to the old housekeeper Andris, and lay down again.

The old housekeeper Andris watched William close his eyes again, and smiled. He walked out of the greenhouse step by step, and the shadows under the light began to change in various shapes. When he left the greenhouse, he did not return to the room, but Walking along the gravel path in the garden to a remote corner, he stopped.

"It seems that he doesn't know the whereabouts of the man."

The eyes of the old butler Andris were a little dazed at this time. He faced the empty corner and said to himself, "Should we continue to find a way?"

"rustle".

In the dark corner, the shadow of the tree began to sway back and forth, making a small voice, "He will not leave him, you must continue to monitor him, and you must find 'Emperor Xuan'."

"I understand."

After the old butler Andris finished speaking, he stood there quietly, motionless. After a while, his eyes became clear again.

"Hey, why am I here?"
