"Tony, what's wrong with you?" Heidi asked worriedly when she saw Tangning's expression changed drastically after receiving the telegram.
Tangning sighed and didn't answer. She just handed over the telegram in her hand.
Heidi took it over and took a look, and immediately couldn't help but exclaimed: "What, Paul is dead?!"
Tangning nodded blankly and replied, "Although I knew there would definitely be casualties in the war, I never expected that the first piece of bad news I received when I arrived in London was from Paul!"
At this time, Tang Ning recalled everything she had gotten along with Maxi before. Although this guy was Tang Ning's former bad friend, they got along well with each other after she traveled back in time.
Before I left, I was very motivated to join the army to defend my homeland. All of this seemed to be vivid in my mind.
"To be honest Tony, when I first learned that you and your brother were not joining the army and were leaving New Orleans to avoid the war, I somewhat despised you in my heart. But now it seems that you are better off living well than anything else. I simply
I can't imagine what I would feel like after receiving the news that you or my brother were killed in battle!" Heidi hugged Tangning from behind and said slowly.
Tangning turned around and hugged Heidi and sighed: "War is so cruel, so no matter the victor or the loser, the most important thing to do is to avoid war!"
Then he frowned and said, "But how can I tell Danina about this kind of thing?"
"Leave this matter to me, I'll tell Danina!" Heidi volunteered.
Tangning thought for a while and felt that it was indeed more appropriate for women to do this kind of thing, and it was also easier to comfort and take care of. So she nodded and agreed, "Okay, then go talk to Danina and comfort her."
!”
In order to relax and not want to see Danina's sadness when she learned the bad news, Tang Ning decided to go out for a walk. When he walked into a cafe, he suddenly found an acquaintance sitting inside.
So he quickly walked over and said hello: "Ms. Howard, I really didn't expect to see you here!"
The "Miss Howard" in Tang Ning's mouth was naturally not Scarlett, but Scarlett's sister Kelly-Howard whom he met at the port of Atlanta.
Seeing Tangning, Kelly was also very surprised: "Mr. Tangning, why are you in London?"
Tangning was naturally embarrassed to say that she was here to avoid the war, so she could only say perfunctorily: "Well, come to London to broaden your horizons!"
Then he changed the subject and pointed to the book on Kelly's desk and asked: "What novel are you reading?"
Unexpectedly, Kelly glanced at Tangning with a smile, then closed the novel and stood it up.
When Tangning saw it, she felt a little embarrassed because what Kelly was watching was actually "Downing Abbey".
At this time, Kelly said again: "Mr. Downing, you may not know that your book "Downing Abbey" is very popular in London right now!"
Tangning was not surprised by this, because "Downton Abbey" was originally a very popular British drama, and since there are so few novels in this era that can compete with it, it is normal for it to be popular.
But after all, it was inconvenient to boast, so he humbly replied: "I didn't write this!"
Kelly retorted: "But Miss Clark is your wife, and she also wrote it in the book. The inspiration and outline of the story came from you, Mr. Downing. She is just a ghostwriter. By the way, your wife is with you this time.
Have you come to London with us?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Here we come!"
"Then can I go visit and ask her to sign this book for me?" Kelly asked excitedly.
"Of course!" Tang Ning replied without hesitation.
Just when Tangning was thinking about how to receive Kelly tomorrow, Kelly suddenly said softly: "Mr. Tangning, do you remember Scarlett?"
When Kelly asked this question, Tangning was stunned and replied casually: "Of course!"
"Actually, she is not living a good life now. Especially when she learned that you and Miss Clark were married, she felt very regretful!" Kelly looked at Tangning and replied.
Tangning snorted coldly and said, "Regret? What does she have to regret? I didn't drive Caroline and the others away after I got together with Heidi!"
The reason Tangning had this attitude was because what Scarlett did at that time made him very embarrassed. After all, before going to Atlanta, he had already agreed with many of his friends that he was going to welcome the bride, and his family had also made arrangements for the wedding.
Prepare, but after arriving in Atlanta, Scarlett changed her mind. Of course, it can't be said to be a change of mind, but this kind of thing should have been discussed clearly before this. How can anyone make an impromptu request when going to pick up a bride? This is even a bit moral.
It meant kidnapping, so Tangning was very unhappy about it.
Kelly sighed and said: "Mr. Tangning, I can understand your mood and feelings, but please understand that Scarlett is really not deliberately making things difficult for you. She really thinks this is a small thing, and you will definitely
Promised"
Before Kelly could finish her words, Tangning waved her hands and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about it anymore. After all, it's over!"
Unexpectedly, Kelly asked: "If Scarlett is in London now, would you want to see her?"
"She is also in London? How is this possible!" Tangning asked in disbelief.
Kelly asked, "How is it impossible? Not only her, but my parents are also in London now!"
"They came to London to see you?" Tangning guessed.
Kelly replied calmly: "This is partly the reason, but the main reason is that I guess the purpose of your coming to London is the same as Mr. Tangning, because of the letter you wrote to Scarlett two months ago, Mr. Tangning."
letter!"
In fact, Tang Ning really didn't have any other meaning in writing that letter. She simply felt that the two of them had met each other. Now that the war has begun, if the results of the war before the time travel were followed, Atlanta would be the city that suffered the most, so Tang Ning wrote to persuade her.
Scarlett's family went out to hide during this period, and now it seems that they, like themselves, have chosen to take refuge in London.
Although Tangning understood the reason, after thinking for a moment, Tangning still shook her head and replied, "It's better to disappear, because Heidi and I have a very good relationship, and I don't want her to have any misunderstandings!"
"What if Scarlett is willing to be your lover like Mrs. Murphy?" Kelly asked again.
"How is this possible?!" Tangning couldn't help but exclaimed.
"How is it impossible? Scarlett is no longer the innocent little girl she was back then!"
