Whispering Verse

Xia De winked at Mr. Enriquez:

"By the way, I met a very troublesome person at the banquet, so I wanted to hide away. Oh, Mr. Henriquez, I didn't expect to meet again. What a coincidence. Speaking of which, since the last time we How has your relationship with your wife been since you met?"

He pretended to be curious. He was really curious and asked, and Mr. Enriquez did not hide it from him because he knew that Shade knew most things:

"After tossing that coin, I knew exactly what I wanted. I followed your suggestion and consulted a psychiatrist. He thought that my anxiety was excessive. Although the other person's time-based charging standards were really outrageous, But fortunately, after talking to him, I feel like I really gained something.”

Mr. Enriquez waved the letter in his hand at Xia De, and walked under the light of the kerosene lamp:

"However, it is definitely impossible to say that I don't care at all. After all, that is my childhood sweetheart and my current wife."

Shade immediately coughed, and then Mr. Enriquez realized what he had said in embarrassment:

"Okay, I admit that the thing about my friend I mentioned last time is actually my matter."

He did not show any hesitation or hesitation like last time. This time he was obviously ready and determined:

"I asked my relatives who are well connected in Willendale to help me find out about my wife's past when she was a student in Willendale. I also found some of her former classmates and asked them to make sure."

"What did she and her lover do in Willondale City?"

Shade said, making Mr. Enriquez feel even more embarrassed.

"I have experienced many stories in the present and in the past. The only thing that remains unchanged for men over the years is lust and this. You continue."

Mr. Henriquez nodded:

"Yes, confirm Maggie's past in Willendale. Depending on the outcome of this letter in my hand, I will judge whether I want to stay in this marriage. I love her, have loved her since childhood. If she is wrong It's not serious. I am willing to continue to love her deeply and accompany her throughout her life; if I can't forgive the mistake, I will choose to let it go. Love is not everything in life, maybe I should look at it more broadly."

Shade applauded gently:

"I won't help you judge whether your decision is correct, but I admire how determined you are. No matter what path you choose, as long as you can continue to move forward, it will be good after all."

Then the young southern gentleman smiled. He lowered his head to look at the letter in his hand, and then handed it to Shade:

"Mr. Watson, please give me the results. Although what I just said sounds nice, I am actually very nervous."

"no no."

Shade shook the empty cup and rejected him:

"This is your private matter. Besides, we have reached the last step. There is no need for me, an irrelevant person, to pry into more privacy."

Mr. Enriquez thought for a while, thanked Shade softly, then opened the wax-sealed letter with his pocket knife, took out three pages of letter paper, and read them by the light of the dim kerosene lamp.

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

Mr. Henriquez read the letter quite quickly. When Shade heard the sound of the letter being folded again, he turned around and saw an expression of relief on his face.

"It seems that you have figured it out?"

Shade asked, Mr. Enriquez nodded, took out the match from his pocket, lit it with a light stroke on the wooden pillar on the side, and then ignited the three pages of letter paper, and the flames burned in his eyes. :

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

Because the hay inside the stable caught fire easily, the two went outside. Mr. Enriquez looked at the fire in his hand and then threw it to the ground:

"I want to talk to Maggie."

"No problem at all."

Mr. Henriquez had a pen with him, and Shade gave him a few notebook pages. The young southern gentleman considered the words and spent more than ten minutes writing a two-page letter. He simply folded it and handed it to Shade:

"It's too cold here, so don't meet here. Please tell Maggie that I'm waiting for her on the bench next to the fountain in front of the manor courtyard."

"no problem."

Shade agreed, and the two of them walked toward the mansion, which was covered by bushes and grape trellises.

Although Shade would not be so bored as to use [Breath of Time] to restore the burned letter, he was still very interested in reading the letter he was sending now.

After temporarily separating from Mr. Henriquez, Shade walked back while scanning two pages. After shaking his head with a smile, he folded the letter:

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

[Is this really the only thing he wants to be sure of? 】

"As a man, you can easily think of what you are thinking about."

There was still about half an hour before the eight-thirty public lecture, and the atmosphere in the banquet hall was particularly lively. Shade gave the empty glass to the waiter and brought another glass of red wine.

It was not easy to find a specific person among so many guests, but fortunately, Shade quickly discovered the trace of Mrs. Enriquez with the help of "her".

Coincidentally, young Mrs. Enriquez was actually sitting on the sofa talking with Miss Lassers. Miss Benanith and Miss Sylvia, on the other hand, disappeared.

Shade walked over holding the wine glass, and the two ladies who were talking about the opera just stopped talking.

Shade said:

"Mrs. Enriquez, long time no see."

Shade and the Enriquez couple met once at Count Granger's manor, so Maggie Enriquez also knew him.

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

Miss Lassus said with a smile, and Mrs. Enriquez gave a brief introduction and greeted Shade:

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

Shade said to Miss Lassers again:

"I have some personal matters that I want to talk to Mrs. Enriquez. I wonder if you can"

He made an apologetic expression, and Miss Lassus wanted to stand up, but was stopped by the young woman:

"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 just tell you. Just now, I met your husband. He asked me to give you this letter, and then told you that he was waiting for you at the seat by the fountain in front of the courtyard."

Shade handed over the letter. The little woman opened it and glanced at it nervously, then hurriedly stood up and said goodbye to Miss Lassers. After thanking Shade, he took the letter and hurried towards the door.

"You're familiar with Maggie Enriquez?"

Shade curiously asked the young blonde girl. Miss Lassus nodded thoughtfully:

"There are only a few local aristocratic girls. Even if the Golden Dawn Opera Company is away from the Randall Valley for half of the year due to performances, I still know these people. When Maggie Mason and I met, she was only Fifteen."

Miss Lassus said, seeing Mrs. Enriquez walking away, she asked softly:

"Attend the banquet, are you still busy with business?"

"This is not a serious matter, it's just my personal curiosity."

Shade picked up the red wine glass, and Miss Lassus also picked up the wine glass and clinked it with him:

"Can you tell me what it is?"

"Of course, but would you mind going for a walk with me?"

Shade pointed outside:

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

"No problem at all."

She stretched out her hand wearing white lace gloves to Shade, and Shade very gentlemanly let her put it on her hand, and stood up together with Miss Lassers.

As he walked outside, Shade told the story that began when he attended the "Country Noble Wedding" with Stone Oxenfurt. This story is actually quite simple, just the love between a man and a woman.

But Miss Lassers was still fascinated by the story, and was especially interested in Shade's role.

After Shade told what happened in the stables, the two of them had already arrived near the fountain. The Enriquez couple are ordinary people, so they don't even need Miss Lassus of the seventh ring. Shade's illusion is enough to hide the two of them under the moon.

They arrived quite quickly, and just in time to see the young woman walking towards her husband, and the noble young man from the southern country also stood up from the bench.

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

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

Mrs. Enriquez looked up at him, with tears in her eyes:

"Are you willing to forgive me?"

Mr. Henriquez shook his head:

"The letter I asked Mr. Watson to deliver was very clear. Although the past cannot be completely gone, at least I know that I still love you. This is probably the difference between marriage and love. "

He opened his arms, and Mrs. Enriquez subconsciously dropped the two pages, took two steps forward, and hugged him:

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

She couldn't say a word, and Mr. Enriquez also hugged her. Shade on the side saw that a relieved smile finally appeared on his face:

"Maggie, although the wedding was held last month, our marriage only officially started tonight. I will not take the initiative to mention that matter in the future, but I also hope you understand that I will not give Your next chance.”

Mrs. Enriquez hugged her husband tightly:

"I will spend my whole life loving you, yes, my whole life, starting from our childhood. Tomorrow morning I will personally cook breakfast for you, just like before."

The two kissed together under the moon. Miss Lassers, who was watching this scene, smiled, while Shade looked at the two pages on the ground.
