[HP] If youth has an ageless face

"Why hasn't he answered!" cried Sylvia anxiously. "We have little time!"

It was noon now, and the sun would be setting in a few hours, when Rookwood's patience ran out.

"Hush! Keep your voice down. It's useless to be in a hurry," Edwin Rah shook the cradle again and again, "The letter from Ireland to England will take at least two days to arrive, and it can't be waited any sooner. I've arrived. Besides... I don't think he'll have the time to help me."

Sylvia insisted on writing to Greenglass for help.Edwin pulled her to go, even though she didn't think it was going to do any good.First, Greengrass is beyond his reach, he has no time to help; second, she has no connection with Greengrass, and Sylvia wants Greenglass to take the risk of offending Luke Wood just because of Sylvia's face. The Arabian Nights; in the end, if he had been able to help, Rookwood wouldn't have come.

"You go now, get out of here." Sylvia stopped abruptly, "Rookwood doesn't dare to touch me. You can take Blaise away and hide your name temporarily to avoid the limelight for a while. That's right , why don't you start preparing to go to Canada immediately? Go find Uriah!"

"Rookwood chose to attack after Uriah left, and he must have calculated that I would not be able to get away." Edwin pulled his gaze away from the sleeping Blaise, "Don't you remember? He said that he is now Working in the Ministry of Magic, maybe he has a way to keep me from leaving, and even if I leave, he can find me again."

Sylvia choked: "Then you just sit and wait?"

"I can't provoke him, otherwise if he does something to Blaise..." She glanced at Sylvia, the two of them together couldn't bring down a Death Eater, let alone Sylvia was a Vulnerable pregnant woman, "Look, here's a delay: I can say yes and play it by ear."

"What do you mean by 'playing by ear'? My dear, Rookwood has already been tricked by you, and he won't take the bait easily again!"

"I will never use the same trick again." Edwina saw her own reflection in the mirror - she was not yet 25 years old, although she dare not say that she was young, but she was at the prime of her life.Her beauty is unquestionable, her temperament is outstanding, and she has a slim figure.All this determines that she can easily steal other people's hearts.Even, to confuse the same person twice in a row...

"No." Sylvia retorted again, her expression very solemn, "Please, honey, don't take risks, okay? Think about your son. Rookwood has already seen where your weakness is, why should you Do you want to throw yourself into a trap?"

Edwina sighed: "I said a long time ago that I would not be a qualified mother."

"Listen, you set off immediately and go to a small town far away from Galway to live for a while. If it doesn't work out, you'll get mixed up among Muggles. I'll stay here and wait for Sean. If he comes, I'll try to send you a letter. Let you leave Ireland and go to Canada; if he doesn't come..." She said with a desperate expression, "I will meet you and we will go together."

Edwin suddenly turned his head: "Are you crazy? Come with me? What about you—your Sean?"

"I want to think about my child. If he doesn't come this time, it means that we are not that important to him." Sylvia said, "I don't have much money on hand, but it's enough to spend. For a while, with all the jewelry I brought, I figured short-term sustenance would be fine. And after that I could always find a way to support my kids."

"Thank you." For many years, Edwina had a condescending sense of superiority towards Sylvia. She always thought they were just companions or allies, but at this moment, Edwina suddenly felt that she could actually Classify Sylvia as a friend.

"You agreed?" She smiled back, "Then I'm going to pack up now—"

Someone knocked on the door.

"He's here?" Sylvia's face turned pale.

"I'll go and see. Can you carry Blaise upstairs?" Edwin pulled the baby to Sylvia, who tidied herself up and opened the front door bravely.

"You didn't expect it to be me?" Under her stunned gaze, Haydn, who had been away for a long time, raised his eyebrows, "I heard about Rookwood, so I rushed here."

She could see Haydn's dusty appearance at a glance, but she still frowned vigilantly: "How do you know—"

"The news always spreads quickly." He glanced around the room slightly, "Are you planning...to escape?"

"I'm not going to run away," she denied, "I'm just waiting for him to come."

"Really? Are you willing to become Rookwood's lover? To be his own? To be his prison?"

"You don't have to speak so harshly, it's just what you need. The relationship between lovers is not a rare thing." Edwinla asked back, "What are you here for?"

"To offer you another option."

Edwin's heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly guessed what he was going to say.

"Marry me." He said exactly as she expected.

"Haydn, are you confused? Married? Both of us?" Edwin almost laughed out loud, "You didn't like me from the first moment you saw me, and so did I. I couldn't think of the two of us at all. Any reason to be together. Are you in need of a wife?"

"I really didn't like you all the time. Until I saw you again at Uriah's banquet." Haydn said, "You grew up and became very beautiful and charming. At that moment I fell in love with you Or your skin, unfortunately at that time you were already married... I didn't expect Zabini to go and propose to you, so I had no choice but to give up."

Edwin La didn't know what to say: "This is crazy talk."

"When I got the news of Zabini's death, I was busy with another matter, so I was delayed. This delay has waited for the good news of your second marriage. Edwina, you moved too fast." Haydn Ignored her, but immersed himself in the narrative, "I thought the matter was over here, but I didn't expect...God help me, Wilson doesn't have such a blessing in his life. Merlin sent you off again. came to my side."

She didn't think it was creepy, she just had nothing to say—Edwinla never dreamed that Haydn would propose to her, after all, they had always hated each other, and she was more because Haydn blocked her in the kitchen when they reunited He hated what he said.

"Your time is running out, but I still hope that you will give me a chance." Haydn continued, "I am still working for the European Magical Sports Association, and now I am full-time researching the connection between the performance of broomsticks and making wood. From the bright side On the surface, I can give you the status of wife, and I myself have an aboveboard position. And secretly, as you know, I gained the Dark Lord's trust by smuggling illegal herbs to the Death Eaters—"

"Are you a Death Eater?"

"I'm not." Haydn took a step closer, "And I'm not British. No matter who wins this war, it won't hurt even a hair on me."

Edwin lowered his eyes.

Even if she didn't like Haydn, she had to admit that although what he said sounded crazy, it might not be true.Compared to Rookwood, Haydn is obviously a better choice. He is not a Death Eater, but a foreigner, which means that he can obtain the protection of the Dark Lord while retaining the possibility of retreating unscathed.Besides, he is Uriah's cousin, so Uriah will be her guarantee...

"If you agree, I will stay and negotiate with Rookwood today." Haydn said, "If you refuse, I will leave now."

"I agree." Edwin had already made a decision, "but I have conditions."

"what?"

"Get married in a year. You have to prepare a grand wedding to marry me and sign a prenuptial agreement."

"Interesting." Haydn smiled, and he lifted her chin, "What do you want me to promise in the agreement?"

"If you die unfortunately, I will be the only heir to all your property." She looked at him provocatively, "Will you sign?"

"I will." Haydn took out a silver ring from his shirt pocket and put it on her finger, "Then it's a deal, and I will come to take away my bride in a year."
