[HP] If youth has an ageless face

After returning from Egypt, Edwina held a summer ball at the behest of Haydn.

This was the first time she became the hostess of the salon after five years. The glimpse of the Palace of Mirrors was a topic that people never forgot for many years, so this ball attracted countless attentions before it even started.

And they were not disappointed.

On cool summer evenings, the courtyard is lit with lights.Edwina came wearing a dark blue long dress, her steps were swaying, and the diamonds on the skirt gleamed, making her look like a goddess with her feet on the galaxy.

"Beautiful dress," Mrs. Lopez said. "It's just too fancy."

Edwin raised her chin, facing this quasi-"Mrs. Zabini", she had every right to exude a sense of superiority: "But I like it."

Mrs. Lopez smiled indifferently, and suddenly mentioned another matter: "I'm afraid people will call me 'Mrs. Zabini' in the future, please don't mind."

"That's not necessarily the case." Edwin did not want to hide her dislike for the other party at all. "I'm afraid there is only one Mrs. Zabini in people's hearts."

"Really?" Mrs. Lopez rested her fan on her chin and focused on her young and beautiful face. "Aren't you wondering why I married Ethan?"

"I do not care."

"Oh?"

"The Sri Lankan is dead, and the Zabini family has nothing to do with me. If you have the opportunity, please tell your fiancé: One day, I will take back from him what belongs to my son."

"You are just a silly girl with vain beauty and an empty mind." Mrs. Lopez suddenly laughed when she turned around to leave, "How can it be you who come and go in the business world?" Do you understand?"

Edwina heard every word she said, and also heard her pretentious tone, but she didn't want to continue entangled with it.

The odd thing about this Mrs. Lopez was that she had always harbored a peculiar hostility towards Edwin La, and at the same time she was especially eager to attract her attention.

Looking at it this way, she and Ethan are a good match.Both of them seem to have some problems in their minds.

Edwina found Sylvia at a table without any effort. She was sitting alone with a cup in front of her, with a dazed look on her face.

"What's the matter with you? You look out of your mind."

"I think I screwed up, Edwina." Sylvia's smile was very bitter, "I ran out to various banquets for a week as you said, and I didn't bring Sean every time. In the end, he held back. He couldn't stop asking me. I didn't know what to think, but I told him that many people at the dance wanted to pursue me..."

"How can you just say that directly?" Edwin la sighed, "The key to this idea is that you want Greengrass to have infinite reverie and create a sense of crisis. Once you say it yourself, it will be yours. Not right."

"I know I was wrong. But I really didn't think that much at the time, and I didn't know what was going on. I just wanted to see if he would be jealous and angry." Sylvia was about to burst into tears. "He lost his temper on the spot, and the next day he ran out to find another woman in retaliation. How can you say I can swallow this breath? I went to another party that night..."

Edwin pulled his forehead and sighed: This is a vicious cycle.She can completely foresee the future direction, either the two of them play their own way, or wait until the emotional outburst and then break up. Is there a third option?No.

"You found other people too, didn't you?" she asked breathlessly, "and slept with them."

Sylvia clenched her wine glass tightly and acquiesced.

"And I guess there is more than one person?" Seeing her silence, Edwin pulled a kind of disappointment, "What do you want me to say about you, Sylvia?"

"Call me stupid, or say I don't respect myself, but the matter has come to this point, you still tell me how to fix it." Sylvia looked ashamed, "I don't want to really divorce him, and he After the divorce, I will not only lose Astoria, but also return to the original wandering life overnight."

"Then go to him and beg for mercy."

"I can't help myself—"

"I have other methods, but do you have the ability to achieve the effect you want? Don't accidentally make things worse." Edwina accidentally found another person sitting not far away, she lowered the volume , "Do you know that man? He has been watching us."

Sylvia turned her head blankly, and when she saw him, she suddenly retracted her gaze as if she had been stabbed: "He has been entangled with me a lot recently, and he wants to... sleep with me."

"Come and sit with us, sir." Edwin Rath greeted calmly, "You won't be able to embrace a beauty just by sitting there in a daze."

The other party hesitated for a moment, but still walked over as promised.

At this moment, Edwina belatedly remembered who he was: "If I'm not mistaken, isn't this Mr. Lockhart?"

When the wizard smiled, he showed his white teeth: "You know me?"

"Of course. I've met you," Edwinra replied. "Many years ago when you held a book signing in Diagon Alley, I was chosen to take a photo with you on stage. You signed my autograph and said You want to invite me to have afternoon tea with you—it’s a pity that I haven’t had this cup of tea yet.”

She just said this jokingly, no one would really care about a casual promise.But Lockhart's face changed drastically. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, and said dryly, "You are so humorous."

Edwina looked at him suspiciously, and Lockhart suddenly jumped up like an electric shock when his eyes met:

"I have to go talk to someone. Nice to meet you, beautiful ladies."

"This suitor of yours is very...interesting."

"He is usually very glib and eloquent." Sylvia took another sip of wine, "Probably he was astonished by your beauty like everyone else."

"Stop drinking, Sylvia." Although she was still curious about Lockhart, Edwinra felt that she needed to care more about her friend now, "Stop all your frivolous behavior, it will only make Greengrass Push further and further."

In the evening, Haydn handed her several letters: "The well-known magazines all over the world want to have the exclusive opportunity to interview you."

"Oh?" Edwin pulled a glance at the name on the envelope, but didn't make any further moves.

"You don't want to be interviewed?"

"I like to keep a sense of distance." She tossed her combed hair back. "When something is mysterious and out of reach, people will flock to it. Once they get it, they will soon be tired of it and abandon it."

Looking at herself in the mirror, she suddenly felt a sense of desolation—if one day her face faded away, how many people would be left around her now?

These so-called luxury, fame, and fame are all based on the fact that she still has a peerless beauty.

"Haydn," Edwina asked unconsciously, "if I were just an ordinary little girl, you wouldn't have married me, would you?"

"Yes. I won't even give you a second look," he said. "You will always be a 'mortgage' worth thirty Galleons to me."

yes.Thirty Galleons only.Edwina recalled the scene when she first saw Haydn—she thought he was tall, serious, and indifferent, wearing a gorgeous robe, exuding an aura that she was not familiar with but instinctively feared.

Now he is no longer young, has entered middle age.Instead, she was in her prime, young and beautiful.People who are not familiar with the inside story will never guess that Edwin La was forced by his biological parents to pay the Davis family a debt at a "sky-high price" of [-] Galleons. Others said that Haydn had a lot of sex, but Edwin Wen La and Haydn are very clear to each other, in a sense, he is still above her: birth, can not be changed.

"Then if one day I am no longer young and beautiful, will you abandon me?" She continued to ask, "Just like you forced your second wife to death with cold violence."

Haydn laughed softly, and he came over and leaned over to kiss her hair: "You are definitely beautiful, dear."

"I mean if. And, I'll get old too."

"No." Haydn replied, "I have seen and owned your beautiful appearance."

Edwin did not speak.

"No one can be favored by the goddess of fortune for no reason," Haydn reminded as if aware of her displeasure, "those gifts of fate have already been clearly marked."

The author has something to say:

*Madame Lopez only appeared in the first few chapters, why did you forget 233 She is about the same age as Haydn, and she was born as an illegitimate daughter of unknown parents like Sylvia. She was brought to France by her lover when she was young. After being abandoned when he grew up, he returned to the UK.

* Uriah and Constance's father, Mr. Davis, and Edwin La's father are half brothers (Edwin La's father is an illegitimate child), so Uriah and Edwin La is a blood cousin, and they don't know German orthopedics.

*Although this article will hardly mention any main content, the worldview here is the same as my other two long articles.That is to say, no accident, Brace's future wife is Pansy Parkinson.
