[HP] If youth has an ageless face

When Blaise discovered that Edwin La had quietly moved back to the Zabini Manor, his first reaction was——

"Did Antonio do something?"

Even he was used to thinking of the bad side first.Edwina was depressed: "Yes."

"What's up with him?"

She turned her back and refused to answer his question.Blaise turned to another question:

"What happened to you and Uriah?"

"How is he?"

"I had a therapist at St. Mungo's take a look at it, and they said there was nothing to do," Brace said. "His temper tantrum was a hangover from the second fall, and he simply had his brain smashed." ..." He probably thought it was impolite to say that, and he quickly talked about another matter, "Jacob told me he wanted to go back to Canada."

Of course he wanted to go back.Such an embarrassing situation caught people off guard.Edwina didn't know if Uriah regretted confessing her feelings impulsively that night, but she really didn't want to see him again.To be precise, I don't know how to face it.

Yulia suddenly changed from a careless, careless and easy-going brother to a secret lover who violated ethics and deceived himself.She cannot accept this transformation.

"What are you going to do?"

"What do you think?" Edwina asked back.

"It would have been nice to have them in the UK if it wasn't for You-Know-Who. But now that You-Know-Who is back... maybe Canada is a little safer."

Edwin nodded: "Then you tell Jacob to discuss it with Uriah."

"Aren't you going to keep him?"

"It's been a long time since we've been apart, and we can't talk very well." Edwin La did not intend to let Blaise know the whole story, "If he thinks Canada is better, then let him go."

"What about Davis Manor? Sell it? Or keep it?"

"It's up to the father and son to decide." Edwin thought for a while, "But...whether they plan to leave or stay, I want Ulea to meet someone first."

"Is it your sister who has been missing for many years?"

Edwina acquiesced.

There was one thing she had been refusing to admit for years, but Uriah's sudden confession made her face the truth for the first time: The Davis family had always consisted of only four people, and she had always been an outsider.

This point was first revealed when the Davises did not have her in their will; it was clear when Constance, who was renamed "Paula", accused her of doves occupying the magpie's nest; The last veil is completely inescapable.

She was never their daughter or sister.

"I regret."

"what?"

Edwina turned to look at Blaise: "I shouldn't have gotten married so many times."

Blaise was dumbfounded, and then laughed dumbly: "To be honest, I don't mind so much now."

"I've always wanted to find a home for myself," she said to herself, "and the end result is that you don't even have a home."

The next day, an uninvited guest knocked on the door of Zabini Manor——

Christian Byrne.

"Are you home alone?" He was hesitant, with a dusty look on his face, obviously rushing here.

"Brace went to find his friend." Edwin narrowed his eyes, unable to understand why he appeared here, "What's your business?"

"Can I go in and talk?"

She felt that this situation was very suspicious: "I remember you promised not to appear in front of me for no reason."

"Yes. But this time I came to you for a business."

"about what?"

"you."

"Me?" Edwin repeated, without concealing the sarcasm in his tone, "Mr. Byrne, what did I do that made you come all the way from Denmark to confront me face-to-face?"

"Are you... looking for some past events?"

"Oh?"

"And your current husband is not so innocent?"

Edwina's face changed slightly, she took a deep look at Christian, and then took a step to signal him to enter the door.

"Antonio is back in Bulgaria, isn't he?"

"You know him well?"

"It's just acquaintance."

"Calling people by name should be more than acquaintance relationship?"

"I really just know him." Christian explained helplessly, "He—"

"Exactly, I also have something to ask you. You should be aware of it when you come to me." Edwin pulls not to look at Christian, but pours water to make tea himself, like the calm before the storm, "You are very concerned about what happened back then. How much do you know about things in Norway?"

"How much do you know?"

"I know it's a murder." Edwin looked straight at him, "Is that enough?"

enough.Of course enough.

"It's true that Zabini's cause of death was plant toxins, and it's also true that he left to find a linnaymia plant that he could gift to his wife."

"What happened in that forest?"

"It's very simple - Zabini met Bulgarian and Danish expeditions on his way to find Linnaeus, and they pointed him to a wrong road, falsely claiming that there were precious Linnaeus species along the way. This road is not the same as The road he should take is less than half a mile away, but it is known to the locals as the road of death, because the deeper the forest goes, the more poisonous weeds and beasts will be ambushed on the road.” Through the steaming water in the cup Christian stared at her swaying expression, "Do you want to ask why everything can be so coincidental? Why did they meet by chance? Why did he believe their words so easily? Why did he choose to take the risk of changing his course? I can't answer your question. It was a murder, a game of speculation, a gamble, and unfortunately Zabini made the wrong decision."

"I'm not curious about anything else, because those questions are impossible to answer," Edwinra said, "but what part did you play in it?"

Hearing her question, Christian hesitated for a moment, and then quickly answered: "The expedition was led by Sweden, Norway and Denmark, and I was entrusted to help some Bulgarians who were fishing in troubled waters to sneak in as scholars. Expedition team."

"Oh?" Edwin raised his eyebrows, "Didn't they do anything other than point the wrong way?"

Christian nodded and shook his head again: "I only found out afterwards that two of them had been following Zabini and returned after confirming his death."

Edwina's expression was like an unmelting glacier, cold and calm, but dangerous.

"Is that all?"

"No..." Christian said with difficulty, "A few years ago, there was a British reporter who went to Norway to secretly investigate the events of the year. After receiving the wind, I intervened and gave him a story that was edited."

Is it someone sent by Joaquin?Edwina was silent for a moment: "What did Antonio promise you?"

"A sum of money."

She provoked a sneer: "Money? You don't know their purpose, do you?"

Facing her sneer, Christian chose to remain silent.

"Thank you for telling me this. But I'm afraid you will have to stay in England for a few days, Mr. Byrne." She stood up and looked down at him condescendingly, "You can leave after I confirm that what you said is true."

"You don't hate me?"

"Where do you start? You're just doing things for money." Edwin walked towards the corridor, but stopped suddenly. After a moment of hesitation, she asked, "Do you know Darren?"

Christian shook his head: "I have never met Brother Zabini before."

"Matthew Wilson?"

He still shook his head.

"Hayden Schwartz?"

no respond.

"Jacques Pennington? At least you know he sent someone to Denmark? Don't you?" She said to herself, "You do know Chatillon, but he..."

"I don't know your ex-husbands." Christian interrupted her suddenly, with a slight annoyance in his tone, "I don't know or care if they are involved—"

"Then why did you come to confess these old things to me?" Edwinla asked back, "Confession? Guilty? Conscience found out?"

He was speechless to this questioning, and she just walked away with a chuckle.
