However, as soon as she finished the first sentence, the next sentence followed closely.

"The blond lady died later," Aurora said in a very low voice, "I heard that she died in a disgraceful manner, and there was no news at all..."

As for how she died, Aurora didn't know either.

Maggie didn't know where Aurora, who was two years older than her, knew this, and she didn't know whether it was true or not. After listening to it, she nodded patronizingly and didn't pay much attention to the information.

Aurora talked about something for a while and was about to leave. The situation of their family was not very good. As the eldest daughter, Aurora tried her best to solve the burden of the family. She waved goodbye to Maggie and ran to the pier to see See if there is any food to pick up and take home.

Maggie knew that William had gone to the library, and she knew the route, so she greeted Louis and planned to find William alone.

The streets are full of traffic, and the ladies who are carefully dressed cover their small faces with cosmetics with exquisite fans, leaving only a pair of moving eyes outside. Maggie passes by various shops and hears the ladies admiring the new arrivals in the shops. She whispered about the secrets that belonged to them. She paused when she heard Count Vito's words, but quickly forgot them.

The person in charge of the library appreciates William's intelligence very much. Even without a professor, he still learns quickly, like a sponge absorbing knowledge desperately, putting it in his head and providing it to the three brothers and sisters at any time. Get ready for what life demands.

When the librarian wearing glasses saw the little blonde girl standing at the door, he put down the book in his hand and waved to her. The library was very quiet, and Maggie walked towards the man as quietly as possible, looking up. She smiled at him across the face.

The thin-faced man knew what she was doing without asking, he bent down and asked her in a low voice: "William is in the back area, can he go by himself?"

Maggie nodded and replied in a low voice, "I know sir."

"Good boy," he touched her little head, pointed her in the direction and motioned her to look for it there, "if you can't find it, you can ask me to take you to look for it together."

Maggie nodded, and when passing by, many people looked down at the small group, stalking them one by one with their faces up, their bright eyes showing nothing.

Offensive, if it weren't for the gorgeous and complicated dress on her body, but the dark fabric used by commoners, they might have regarded this beautiful little guy as a noble lady who sneaked out to play.

Maggie quickly found William. His blond hair was too eye-catching. Even though he was dressed simply, he stood by the bookshelf like a nobleman, with his back kept upright, his expression neither salty nor cold, and his slender fingers flipping Before she could make a sound on the pages of the book, William turned his face to look at her as keenly as he felt.

The originally expressionless face turned into a gentle smile. He came over and hugged her to read the books on the bookshelf together. Maggie nestled quietly in his arms and looked at the symbols and medical terms she couldn't understand. He should be trying to find a way for Louis.

He was almost done reading, and Maggie saw him lingering by the medical bookshelf for a long time, and took her out of here before lunch.

He had helped others to get some coins before, but he didn't use the money to buy food or clothes as Maggie thought. The wind chime, which was more expensive than everything else, jingled, and the boss standing by the counter looked at them, and cast a look of surprise at them that could not be suppressed.

"Hello," the slightly bloated boss didn't immediately drive the two poor children out. He seemed a little curious about the purpose of the William brothers and sisters coming in. "What do you need?"

He leaned back against the counter in a leisurely manner, poking his head out to look down at them.

William didn't answer, he just held Maggie close to the glass cabinet, and looked at some delicate hair accessories neatly arranged inside, as if to make up for the fact that he kept the hairpin she was awarded last time, William Let her pick her own: "Maggie picks one she likes."

The boss felt amused when he said such a thing at this young age, he just reminded with a smile: "Young man, the things in our house are not cheap."

William looked up at him, and the boss didn't see any embarrassment or resentment like being humiliated. He hummed calmly, with a decent smile on the corner of his mouth: "I saw the price list, thank you for reminding me."

The boss suddenly felt resentful, and raised his arms from the counter to look at

Looking elsewhere, I don't intend to watch their choices but go to do other things.

Maggie scanned the prices of those accessories, and she was speechless because they were so expensive. Of course, these prices were too expensive for her, even if she could afford them, she would not want to spend money on them.She turned her face to look at William, and worried that what she said would embarrass him, so she leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, "Brother, I don't want these... Let's go buy some bread."

William listened quietly to Maggie's words and did not answer her quickly. The little girl frowned, as if worried that he would waste money because of her.

"If you don't choose, then I'll pick one for you," William chuckled, and imitated her movements and approached her white and tender ears, his breath falling on her skin was extraordinarily hot and itchy, "No need Worry, we still have a lot of money."

This sentence made Maggie look at him suspiciously. They are all living in orphanages, where did they get a lot of money.

In the end Maggie was no match for him, so she chose a small red diamond dragonfly hairpin that was not too expensive among the many hair accessories. William paid to pin it on her hair. He looked in the small mirror several times, hugged William's face shyly under the boss's compliment, and kissed him with his lips pouted.

At this time, the wind chime rang again, and the boss immediately straightened up and looked towards the door. Meredith in a neat suit and a black top hat came in.

The boss welcomed him enthusiastically. When he asked what he needed, his eyes stayed on William for a second. The habitual indifference dissipated when Maggie looked over. He looked at her gently, and even took a step towards her: "Maggie, is the thing I gave you useful?"

Maggie knew he was talking about painkillers, because William was here and had been angry with her about it last time.It's not good for Maggie to be too enthusiastic, she nodded to him reservedly and politely: "It's very useful, thank you!"

"That's good," Meredith finished speaking with her, as if he had just noticed William, he raised his chin and greeted him with a little distance: "Hello."

William maintained a warm smile, no matter how much he slandered in his heart, compared to Meredith at least on the outside, he showed a very friendly: "Hello, thank you for your kindness.

Our care, Master Meredith. "

He didn't give his name. Meredith frowned slightly and quickly returned to normal. It could be seen that he didn't really want to have any contact with William. If Maggie wasn't here, maybe he should have all won't be coming in here.

He probably glanced at the hair accessories on the counter, then turned around and asked Maggie, "Which ones do you like?"

His tone was obviously that as long as Maggie liked, he would buy it for her. The boss knew that the young man standing in front of him was the young master of Earl Vito's family, so he naturally recommended it graciously.

Maggie shook her head: "Thank you, I don't need to..."

After speaking, I felt a little embarrassed to answer this question. They all came into the jewelry store, and there were also women's products in it. William couldn't come in because he needed these things.Moreover, the dragonfly hairpin she just bought was pinned to her hair. It was a bit of a slap in the face for her to say that she didn't need such a thing.

Maggie buried her face in William's neck and acted like a baby quail.

"Why didn't you wear the hairpin that the butler gave you last time?" Meredith didn't let her go easily, he naturally saw the brand new hair accessories on her hair, and asked inexplicably.

William pressed the back of her head and replied with a smile neither humble nor humble: "That reward is too expensive, I will put it away for her first."

Without Maggie watching, the expression on Meredith's face was even colder than when he first came in.

"In that case," Meredith was about to leave. Before that, his eyes fell on Maggie's soft blond hair, and his voice subconsciously softened, "If you need anything, you can come to me."

William smiled and did not reply.

On the way back, William didn't speak, and Maggie didn't dare to speak.

She noticed that William was not in a good mood.

After returning, that night, they got a bad news.

The orphanage cannot support so many children, and in two days, the house will be taken back by others.

They were about to resume their homeless wandering life again, but William had already noticed this, coupled with a little reason from the Vito family, made him smell the danger, and planned to leave here early.

……

Count Vito's Mansion—



The middle-aged man flipped through the documents on the table. He raised his eyelids and looked at the butler standing at the door: "Douglas."

The butler responded and walked in: "Count, what are your orders?"

The man's green eyes stared at the expression on the butler's face, as if he could not escape his eyes as long as he lied: "Has Meredith been in contact with those civilians recently?"

Douglas bowed his head, his voice didn't fluctuate: "No, Earl."

"It's better not," he snorted softly, as if he no longer doubted the housekeeper who had worked here for decades, and his voice was lazier, "Go down, keep an eye on him, and stop doing stupid things. "

"Yes, Count."

When the butler went to the door of Meredith's room and knocked, there was no response.

It was already dark, butler Douglas, who was wearing white gloves, unscrewed the door silently, and stepped into the dark room with the curtains drawn tightly.

There was no light in the room, no one was at the table, the butler's eyes seemed unhindered in the dark night, there was no one on the bed, the glass cabinet was opened, and he scanned around the corner where Meredith might be staying At last, he found the brown-haired boy huddled under the desk.

He put on his pajamas, curled up in a small space with his eyes closed and fell asleep, holding the oil painting in his hand, Douglas tried to pull it, Meredith opened his eyes instantly, his eyes were clear and cold watching him.
