Unlike Roque, who is relaxed and freehand, Ada has been in a very irritable mood recently.
After confronting William in the Marlborough family manor, William became very interested in Ada, and then William launched a fierce pursuit of Ada as if he was in love for the first time.
This kind of thing is normal. A beautiful and wealthy widow is still very attractive. Some people are always sentimental. They feel that as long as they wave, Ada will come to their door. Then they will get both talent and money.
Take it away, and when someone has had enough fun, kick them away.
It is impossible to get married. A family like William's has very high requirements for the other half. Unless William voluntarily gives up his right to inherit the title, then he can decide his own life.
But how is this possible? For William, the right to inherit the title is the only bargaining chip he can use. Although he is only the second in line, it is still very attractive. Therefore, William has never lacked women since he was a child. This gives him
This gave William the illusion that everything he had now was obtained by his own ability.
It has been a whole week. Every morning, William would send flowers to Ada. In the afternoon, he would come to Ada and invite Ada to watch the opera or have dinner.
Ada was so annoyed that she threw the flowers she sent directly into the trash can. William came to see Ada, but Ada didn't even see her. So in the past two days, William became more and more impatient and boasted to people around him many times.
It will make Ada look good.
William went to see Ada again that day, but received a cold reply: "Sorry Mr. Churchill, our lady is not here."
The person in charge of receiving William was a Frenchman in his 50s, who spoke French. Thanks to the elite education William had received, language was a very important part, otherwise William would not be able to understand it.
It can also be seen from the title that this Frenchman named De Gaulle has a close relationship with Ada. It is estimated that before Ada left the cabinet, he was already by Ada's side, otherwise he would not use the title "Miss". p>
"De Gaulle, don't talk around in circles with me. I know Mrs. Capet must be here. Go tell Mrs. Capet that I must see her today, otherwise you know the consequences." William's patience has reached its limit, thinking of Ada's cold look.
, William felt hot in his lower abdomen.
Are you cheap?
De Gaulle's poker face did not change at all. He still straightened his back politely and bowed slightly, then turned and left without saying a word.
Ada is indeed at home. This is a castle located in the suburbs of London. It is not a "bad debt asset" of Rand Bank, but Ada bought it for only 1,500 pounds.
Compared with the value of the castle, this price is obviously low. The reason why it can be obtained at such a low price is that there are additional conditions. For example, the castle cannot be used for commercial purposes, the name cannot be changed, and the appearance of the castle cannot be changed. Owning a castle is a very luxurious thing, and the annual maintenance cost is more than 1,500 pounds. For some nobles from poor families, the castle is no longer an honor, but a burden.
There are a large number of such castles in the UK, and some of them are located in remote places. The transfer price is very cheap, and 1,500 pounds is expensive enough.
"It's such a waste to spend so much money on such an outdated antique!" William has not yet become Ada's guest, but he has already begun to comment on Ada's investment.
The castle is indeed an antique, but in places where William cannot see it, antiques are piled up like mountains.
Rand Bank's "bad debts" are not just expensive properties, but also antiques that have been mortgaged to the bank.
These antiques are not all owned by nobles. The British have colonized the world for hundreds of years, and there are not many antiques among the people. Especially in the past few years, after the Eight-Power Allied Forces' war of aggression against China, the number of antiques from the Qing Dynasty in the UK has increased dramatically. For the East
Westerners actually do not recognize jadeite, calligraphy and painting, cultural toys and the like, because they do not understand and are too lazy to learn, so many people simply send the stolen things to banks for mortgage loans, such as Rand Bank
During this period, nearly 10,000 pieces of such collateral were collected.
Now these things are all in the castle. Ada is planning to build a museum in Johannesburg or Nyasaland in the future. I don’t believe Roark won’t come to visit then.
Look at this method, it is also to attract the attention of the opposite sex. Compared with a stupid young man like William, it is simply a world of difference.
"If he wants to stay, let him stay. Don't worry about him." Ada sat at the table and concentrated. If Rock saw Ada's current state, he would be shocked.
Like those old academics who are engaged in research, Ada now has her hair simply pulled back, with a pair of eyes on her nose. She is wearing a white shirt and black trousers and a vest. She is holding a porcelain from the Qing Dynasty and observing it carefully.
.
After a long while, Ada raised her head with satisfaction, put the porcelain on the shelf, carefully adjusted the position, and then nodded with satisfaction.
Only then did Ada realize that de Gaulle hadn't left yet.
Ada was immediately dissatisfied.
"Miss, after all, Mr. William is the second heir to the Marlborough family, so you can't treat him with such an attitude." De Gaulle was very kind and purposeful at this moment, which was very different from the cold and cold look just now. His hair was already dry.
It's all white. If you talk to Ada in this tone, Ada can't refuse.
"Okay, okay, I really don't know what kind of ecstasy he gave you. He's just the second in line to the throne. As long as his brother doesn't die, he will never be the Duke of Marlborough." Ada put down the glasses in her hands.
I rubbed the bridge of my nose a little tiredly.
De Gaulle half-turned around and nodded slightly, and several maids immediately swarmed in. One was responsible for Ada's hair, one was responsible for Ada's clothes, and another was responsible for matching jewelry.
When Ada appeared in front of William, she already had a completely new image. Her hair still seemed to be tied up simply, and there was even a strand of hair hanging down beside her ears as if she hadn't noticed. Bosmia
Outside the style of the white floral long skirt, the decorative belt is a hand-woven leather rope. The overall shape is like the sunshine next to the Aegean Sea, lazy and charming.

"I'm sorry, Mr. William, I'm really busy these days." Ada's tone was even lazier, as if she could fall asleep at any time. Listening to William's ears made William feel very itchy. p>
Asleep——
Can't think! Can't think!
In fact, it is more appropriate to find an excuse at this time. Just saying it directly seems to be disrespectful to William.
But Ada was too lazy to make excuses. The way William looked at Ada made Ada very uncomfortable. Now Ada wanted to lift up her skirt and put her foot on William's face, which was very off-putting.<
/p>
Like ordinary British people, William has a lot of freckles on his face. After all, he is in adolescence. William still has a few pimples on his face. He uses a lot of hair wax on his hair, which makes it look a bit greasy. In order to cover up his body odor, William does not
Knowing how much perfume she had used, Ada couldn't help but curse. She was afraid that she had poured the entire bottle on her body.
But it’s still not covered.
"Mrs. Capet, you are so beautiful. I hope you can give me a chance to treat you to dinner, and then we can enjoy a play. Tonight the Grand Theater will perform Shakespeare's "Macbeth"——" William
I feel dizzy, a little distracted, and my words are all confused.
The plot of "Macbeth" is not suitable for couples to watch together. Together with "Hamlet", "Othello" and "King Lear", it is recognized as one of William Shakespeare's "four great tragedies". Men should ask women out.
Play, isn’t it the best horror movie to watch?
"I'm sorry, Mr. William, I'm afraid my son won't allow it -" Ada refused directly, not even in the mood to observe William's reaction.
For a moment, William was a little disappointed, but considering Ada's age, it was normal to have children. Then William began to be ecstatic again. Past experience told William that having children is better——
Don't think wrongly, if you have children, William can play with Ada's children instead of those messy people who have nothing less.
"Your son must be very reasonable." William tried to start with the child.
Ada thought for a while and simply signaled to de Gaulle to call Arthur over.
Arthur, who is almost two years old, can already run around all over the floor. He is no longer satisfied with the toys in the room. He increasingly likes to get out of Ada's control and yearns for the world outside the room. This makes Ada both happy and worried. p>
Having a "strong woman" mother, Arthur must be in a very bad mood. Because Ada has to work, she can't take Arthur with her at all times, so Arthur cherishes the opportunity to be with Ada and jumps around.
He ran over and hugged Ada's thigh, then looked back at William.
"Mom, this person stinks so much!"
Fortunately, Arthur said this sentence in Chinese.
Ada was very smart. He warned Arthur from the moment he could speak that if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction with someone, he must say it in Chinese with a smile. At that time, few people in Europe understood Chinese.
With a mother like this, Arthur's future is worth looking forward to.
"What language does he speak? African?" William was very curious. He was a little baby with white skin, black hair, and blue eyes, and a sly smile on his face. He simply loved him to death.
"Absolutely, this child has a very good language talent." Ada couldn't help but be proud when she mentioned Arthur. Some children can't speak at the age of two, but Arthur can communicate normally with people at more than one year old, sometimes in English and French.
, Chinese is mixed, English and French are easy to speak. Ada does not think it is difficult. Chinese is too difficult for Arthur.
But Arthur works very hard. Every time he sees Roark, he will try very hard to learn Chinese from Roark. Sometimes after learning a sentence, he will keep talking about it all day long.
Such a child will not be able to succeed in the future.
