"Sir, this is a letter from Mr. Jonathan!" That day, the butler Rob came to the study and handed Tangning a letter.
To be honest, when she heard that the letter was from Jonathan, Tangning couldn't help but feel nervous. After all, she had slept with his wife, even though they were going to divorce soon.
Fortunately, the content of the letter has nothing to do with feelings. It seems that Jonathan doesn't know about it yet. The main content of the letter is an interesting thing that Jonathan encountered and related to himself.
It happened that Heidi walked in at this time and asked him curiously: "Tony, what happened to you, why are you so happy?"
"Do you remember that Lieutenant Pishan?" Tang Ning asked without answering.
Heidi nodded and replied: "Remember, didn't Miss Adele and Mrs. Hager both say that you look very similar to him?"
"Jonathan met Lieutenant Pichon in New York. According to him, he was shocked when he saw him for the first time and was wondering why I was suddenly wearing a military uniform!" Tangning explained.
Heidi sighed: "Looking at it this way, you and he look really alike. After all, one person may be wrong, but now that three or four people have said so, it must be true!"
"Yes, now I want to find a chance to meet Lieutenant Pichon and see how much he and I look like!" Tang Ning agreed.
While the two were chatting, the butler suddenly came to report that Maxi was here. Tangning originally thought that Maxi was here to have a drink or chat with her, but she didn't expect that as soon as she met Maxi, she said to herself seriously:
"Tony, I came here to say goodbye to you today!"
"Farewell? Where are you going?" Tangning asked curiously.
"Aubrey and I are moving back to Yorktown. We feel that life there is more comfortable!" Seeing Tangning's shocked expression, Maxi smiled bitterly and said, "Tony, I know you may not understand my decision.
, to be honest, if it were me in the past, I would definitely not understand it. But maybe it is because of the two years of amnesia, so I am not opposed to the kind of life in Yorktown, and Aubrey is really not used to it.
Life in New Orleans, so I think moving to Yorktown may be more suitable for us. But don’t worry, I will come back every year to see you old friends!”
Tangning was able to accept Maxi's explanation, because although Maxi had recovered his memory after returning from Yorktown, Tangning felt that he was no longer the lively, flamboyant, lustful and mischievous Maxi he had been. He had really changed.
It's not that this change is bad, it's just that it's hard for Tang Ning to get along with him as an old friend from back then, and she becomes much more polite when talking and doing things.
So Tangning nodded and agreed, "I can understand this, but what about your father?"
"Oh, he came with us. He said that as long as I am alive, he doesn't care where I want to go!" Maxi replied casually.
Then the conversation changed: "I plan to sell the land and manor in New Orleans, but I can't find a suitable buyer for the moment, so I want to ask Tony to take care of it for me. If there is a suitable buyer, please write me a letter."
Trust me, I’ll be right back!”
"This is no problem. I'll try my best to help you find out!" Tang Ning agreed without hesitation.
After sending Maxi away, Tangning and Heidi lamented: "Uncle Maxi was so strong back then, forcing Paul to go to England to find a wife. Now he doesn't care about anything anymore. It seems that the period when Paul disappeared was a huge blow to the old man."
It’s so big!”
"This is normal. If Jason disappeared for two years now, I would go crazy!" At this point, Heidi seemed to be trapped in a terrible imagination.
So he shook his head vigorously and changed the subject: "Actually, I think Aubrey has wanted to leave a long time ago because she can't fit into this circle. I just didn't expect Maxi to be willing to leave."
Tang Ning thought to herself that Aubrey was a rural girl before, so it's strange that she can blend in, so she concluded: "No matter what, it's good that they are happy, and this way we can have one more place to travel in the future. I will tell you
Say, have you ever been to Yorktown? It’s so beautiful in the fall, unlike New Orleans where everything is covered in white flowers!”
"Really, then you must go and see it then!" Heidi agreed.
Tang Ning thought that since Jonathan had already written to himself, it was impossible not to write to Catherine, so after lunch, he excused himself to go out to do errands and came to Catherine's place.
Sure enough, after an infatuated relationship with her, Catherine took out a letter and said to Tangning: "Tony, I have some good news for you. Jonathan has agreed to divorce!"
"Really, that's great!" Tangning breathed a long sigh of relief. After all, he still felt a little guilty about the relationship between the two of them.
At this time, Catherine added: "And he also promised to leave the manor and land in New Orleans to me. He will stay in New York and never come back!"
To be honest, this news surprised Tangning, because he always felt that Jonathan's love for the south was deeper than that of an "authentic southerner" like himself, otherwise he wouldn't have joined the army, so Tangning frowned and asked, "Jonathan
Are you in trouble?"
Catherine shook her head and replied: "I don't know that because he didn't say it in the letter."
Then he suggested: "How about asking him next time you go to New York!"
Tangning nodded and agreed, "Okay, but I don't know why, but I always feel a little afraid to face him!"
"You still don't know why? Because you got his wife into bed!" Catherine teased.
After being teased like this by Catherine, Tangning suddenly became interested. Unexpectedly, Catherine stopped her and said, "Don't worry. Since Jonathan has agreed, I will just change everyone in the manor so that it will be convenient for us in the future.
You don’t have to worry about someone secretly snitching on you!"
Tangning thought it right, so she nodded and agreed, "It makes sense, it's not going to be short of these days anyway!"
So the two called the slave girl to make coffee and chatted seriously. Then they talked about Maxi's departure. Tangning said with emotion: "Hey, I don't know if it's because I'm getting old. I feel like all my friends around me have left one by one. First,
Nicole, then Paul, and now even Jonathan isn’t back!”
"You are talking as if they are all dead. If you miss them, you can go to Yorktown, New York to see them!" Catherine explained.
PS: It’s been a long time since I’ve been looking for books in Zongheng, and I suddenly found a book called “Taiping Inn” that’s quite good. It’s an unexpected surprise!
