Chapter 1394: The Enriques Love Story · End

~10 min read 1,939 words

Xia De blinked at Mr. Enriques:

"By the way, I'm hiding from trouble. I met some very troublesome people at the banquet, so I wanted to hide. Oh, Mr. Enriques, I didn't expect to see you again, this is really a coincidence. Speaking of which, how is your relationship with your wife since we last met?"

He pretended to be curious... he was really curious, and asked. And because Mr. Enriques knew that Xia De understood most of the things, he didn't hide it from him:

"After flipping that coin, I knew what I really wanted. I followed your advice and consulted a psychologist. He thought I was too anxious. Although the standard of charging by time was really outrageous, fortunately, after talking to him, I felt that I really gained something."

Mr. Enriques raised the letter in his hand at Xia De and also walked under the light of the kerosene lamp:

"However, to say that I have no misgivings in my heart, that's definitely impossible. After all, she is my childhood sweetheart, and she is my current wife..."

Xia De coughed immediately, so Mr. Enriques realized awkwardly what he had said:

"Well, I admit, what I said last time about my friend's matter was actually my own matter."

He didn't show the hesitation and indecision of last time. This time he was obviously prepared and had made up his mind:

"I asked a relative who has a lot of connections in Willondale City to help inquire about my wife's past during her studies in Willondale, to determine... determine..."

"What she and that lover did in Willondale City."

Xia De said, and Mr. Enriques felt even more embarrassed.

"I have experienced many stories in the present and the past. The only thing that men don't change in the years is lust and this. You continue."

Mr. Enriques nodded:

"Yes, determine Maggie's past in Willondale. Based on the result of this letter in my hand, I will judge whether I should maintain this marriage. I love her, I have loved her since childhood. If her mistake is not serious, I am willing to continue to love her deeply and accompany her through life; if that mistake is something I cannot forgive, I will choose to let go. Love is not everything in life, maybe I should look at it openly."

Xia De clapped lightly:

"I won't help you judge whether your decision is correct, but I really appreciate your determined look. No matter what path you choose, as long as you can continue to move forward, it's good in the end."

So the young Southern gentleman showed a smile. He took out a small knife from his pocket, opened the wax-sealed letter, took out three pages of letter paper, and borrowed the light of that dim kerosene lamp.

Xia De turned his back to him to show that he would not pry into privacy. But in fact, he was really very curious about what was said in the letter.

Mr. Enriques read the letter quite fast. After Xia De heard the sound of the letter paper being folded again, he turned around and saw the look of relief on his face.

"It seems you have figured it out?"

Xia De asked, and Mr. Enriques nodded, took out a match from his pocket, struck it lightly on a wooden pillar on the side to light the match, and then ignited the three pages of letter paper. The flames burned in his eyes:

"Mr. Watson, I'm really sorry, but can you help me send a letter to the banquet hall? Send it to my wife's hands."

Because the hay in the stable was easy to catch fire, the two came to the outdoors. Mr. Enriques looked at the fire in his hand, and then threw it to the ground:

"I want to talk to Maggie."

"Of course, no problem."

Mr. Enriques had a pen on him, and Xia De gave him a few pages of paper from his notebook. The young Southern gentleman considered the words and spent more than ten minutes writing a letter with two pages of paper, folded it simply, and handed it to Xia De:

"It's too cold here, let's not meet here. Please tell Maggie that I am waiting for her on the bench by the fountain in front of the manor courtyard."

"No problem."

Xia De agreed, so the two walked towards the mansion covered by shrubs and grape trellises together.

Although Xia De wouldn't be bored enough to use 【Breath of Time】 to restore the burned letter, he was still very interested in seeing this letter he was sending now.

After temporarily parting with Mr. Enriques, Xia De scanned the two pages of paper while walking back. After shaking his head with a smile, he folded the letter paper:

"It seems that what Maggie Enriques did in Willondale City was not too excessive."

【Is what he wanted to determine really just this?】

"Men, what they think in their hearts is actually very easy to think of."

There was still half an hour before the public speech at 8:30, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was exceptionally lively. Xia De gave the empty cup to the waiter and took another glass of red wine himself.

It was not simple to find a specific person among so many guests, but fortunately, with the help of "She," Xia De soon discovered the trace of Mrs. Enriques.

It was a coincidence that the young Mrs. Enriques was sitting on the sofa chatting with Ms. Lasers. And Ms. Bernice and Ms. Sylvia were nowhere to be seen.

Xia De walked over with the wine glass, and the two ladies who were discussing opera topics stopped their voices.

Xia De said:

"Mrs. Enriques, long time no see."

Xia De had met Mr. and Mrs. Enriques once at Earl Granger's manor, so Maggie Enriques also knew him.

"Who is this handsome Northern gentleman? Introduce him, Maggie."

Ms. Lasers said with a smile, and Mrs. Enriques introduced him briefly and greeted Xia De:

"Hello, long time no see, Mr. Watson."

Xia De said to Ms. Lasers again:

"I have some private matters to discuss with Mrs. Enriques, I don't know if you..."

He made an apologetic expression, so Ms. Lasers wanted to stand up, but was stopped by the young lady:

"It's okay, Mr. Watson, what do you want to say?"

She probably didn't want to be alone with a young man.

"Since you don't mind, I'll say it directly. Just now, I met your husband. He asked me to give you this letter and tell you that he is waiting for you at the seat by the fountain in front of the manor courtyard."

Xia De handed over the letter. The young lady opened it and took a nervous look, then stood up hurriedly and said goodbye to Ms. Lasers. After thanking Xia De, she walked hurriedly towards the door with the letter.

"Are you very familiar with Maggie Enriques?"

Xia De asked the young golden-haired girl curiously, and Ms. Lasers nodded thoughtfully:

"There are only a few noble girls in the local area. Even if the Golden Dawn Opera Troupe is not in Randall Valley for half of the year due to performances, I still know these people."

Ms. Lasers said, and seeing Mrs. Enriques walk away, asked softly again:

"Participating in the banquet, are you still busy with official business?"

"This is not official business, just my personal curiosity."

Xia De picked up the red wine glass, and Ms. Lasers also picked up the wine glass and touched it with him:

"Can you tell me what it is?"

"Of course, but do you mind walking out with me?"

Xia De pointed to the outside:

"The play I'm paying attention to has already reached the last act, I don't want to miss the ending part."

"Of course, no problem."

She stretched out her hand wearing white lace gloves to Xia De, and Xia De let her rest on his hand very gentlemanly, and got up with Ms. Lasers.

While walking out, Xia De told the story from the time he participated in the "country noble wedding" with Stone Osenfort. This story was actually quite simple, just the love between a man and a woman.

But Ms. Lasers was still fascinated, especially interested in the role Xia De played in it.

By the time Xia De finished telling what happened in the stable just now, the two had also arrived near the fountain. Mr. and Mrs. Enriques were both ordinary people, so they didn't even need the seven-ring Ms. Lasers, Xia De's illusion was enough to hide the two under the moonlight.

They arrived quite fast, just in time to see the young lady walking towards her husband, while the Southern noble youth also stood up from the bench.

The fountain was located on the central axis of the manor, and the light from the gas street lamp next to it was much brighter than the back garden. That light illuminated the faces of the two at the same time. The woman pursed her lips, her hands pinching the two pages of notebook paper, hesitating and not knowing what to say; while the man looked at the wife in front of him and took the initiative to speak:

"Tomorrow, I will move back to the bedroom from the study. Remember to let the servant hold my pillow and quilt back, and then change the bed sheets."

Mrs. Enriques looked up at him, her eyes seemed to have tears:

"Are you willing to forgive me?"

Mr. Enriques shook his head:

"In the letter I asked Mr. Watson to help deliver, it has been written very clearly... Although the past cannot completely pass, at least I know that I still love you. The difference between marriage and love is probably like this."

He opened his arms, and Mrs. Enriques subconsciously dropped the two pages of paper, walked forward two steps, and hugged him:

"I, I... sorry, I'm really sorry."

She couldn't say a word, and Mr. Enriques also hugged her. Xia De, who was watching this scene from the side, saw that a look of relief finally appeared on his face:

"Maggie, although the wedding was held last month, our marriage officially started tonight. In the future, I won't take the initiative to mention that matter, but I also hope you understand that I won't give you a second chance."

Mrs. Enriques hugged her husband tightly:

"I will love you with my life, yes, my life, starting from our childhood... I will cook breakfast for you myself tomorrow morning, just like before."

The two kissed under the moonlight. Ms. Lasers, who was watching this scene from the side, smiled, while Xia De looked at the two pages of paper on the ground. ===== CHAPTER 1395 =====

She couldn't say a word, and Mr. Enrikes hugged her; Xia De, watching from the side, finally saw a look of relief appear on his face:

"Maggie, although the wedding was held last month, our marriage officially begins only tonight. From now on, I won't bring up that matter again, but I also hope you understand that I won't give you another chance."

Mrs. Enrikes hugged her husband tightly:

"I will spend my whole life loving you, yes, my whole life, starting from our childhood... I'll cook breakfast for you myself tomorrow morning, just like before."

The two kissed under the moonlight. Miss Lathers, watching the scene from the side, wore a smile, while Xia De looked at the two sheets of paper on the ground.
