Why didn't you come?
Of course it's because of fear.
Seeing his cousin's resentful and questioning eyes, Lin Tianqi could only smile bitterly in his heart.
He is also very entangled now. Faced with the offensive from his cousin and the eldest sister in the family, it seems that he is unwilling in his heart. It does not seem to be the case. In fact, he feels it in his heart many times.
, but when it comes to saying yes, I always feel like I can’t get through that hurdle in my heart, like there’s a layer of shackles.
But as for that layer of shackles, Lin Tianqi felt that it was already crumbling, and he didn't know when it would break.
"My eldest sister had something to do with me last night and we talked until very late, so she didn't come over."
Lin Tianqi had no choice but to say this. Although he also had a headache for Catherine now, it was a good excuse for him to deal with Aila at this time.
Aila didn't say anything when she heard the words, but continued to look at Lin Tianqi quietly, unchanged, and she didn't know whether she believed it or not.
Lin Tianqi didn't dare to ask. He looked at the sunny weather and changed the subject.
"Sister Ella, let me take you for a walk. I heard that the snow spirit flowers are blooming in the lower reaches of the Hill River. How about we go on a boat trip to see it?"
Snow spirit flower is a famous ornamental flower in the world. It is famous for its whiteness, purity, beauty and fragrance. Many nobles like to plant this kind of snow spirit flower when decorating their manors. Now this season is also the snow spirit flower.
When the flowers are in full bloom, there are swaths of Snow Spirit Flowers on both sides of the lower reaches of the Hill River outside Hill City, so Lin Tianqi also wanted to take Ella to see them, mainly to take Ella out for a walk.
Because she has suffered from bad luck since she was a child, Ella's life has been basically isolated from the outside world. As the bad luck in her body worsens, she can basically only stay alone in the manor.
Go out, let alone see the outside world.
If it were other people, facing such a life, they would probably have become depressed, autistic, or even had mental problems.
In fact, Aila already has some problems in her heart. In Queai's eyes, it's just because of Lin Tianqi's presence and letters from time to time over the years, and the fact that the entire Baruch family is pretty good to Aila, so Aila's situation has changed.
He is in a stable state and has not become depressed, autistic or has any extreme psychological state. However, it is bound to be a negative thing in the long run.
So when he came back this time, Lin Tianqi wanted to completely solve Aila's problem. At the same time, if he had time, he also wanted to take Aila out more to see the outside world.
He believed that Ella would also like to see the outside world. After all, no one would like to be locked in a cage all the time.
Sure enough, Aila also looked happy when she heard Lin Tianqi's suggestion.
"OK."
Aila immediately stood up happily. She didn't bother to worry about Lin Tianqi's absence last night, but then she suddenly thought of her own situation and hesitated.
"But what's going on with me."
Lin Tianqi naturally thought of this a long time ago and said with a smile.
"Don't worry, I'll ask someone to arrange a boat. Just the two of us, brother and sister, can go out for a walk. We won't go to crowded places in the city. There won't be any problems if I'm here."
Aila's main problem is that she cannot get close to others. As long as this problem is solved, going outside will not be a problem at all.
Hearing what Lin Tianqi said, Aila's worries suddenly disappeared, she suddenly became happy, and looked at Lin Tianqi with expectation.
"Then what should I prepare?"
"It's all okay. Sister Aila, just prepare whatever you think you need to prepare. It's okay if you don't prepare. I'll have someone prepare the boat and two fishing rods. You can fish then."
Lin Tianqi smiled and said.
"Then I'll go change my clothes."
Aila said immediately after hearing this and trotted towards her room.
When Lin Tianqi saw this, he came to the door again and told Adrian to let him prepare the boat.
.............................
"Oh, did Karl take Ella to play again?"
On the other side, in the Earl's Mansion, in the garden pavilion, Belliana and others also quickly received the news from the servants, and their expressions changed when they heard the news.
"That's good, otherwise Ai La usually can't go out alone and is bored by herself. Now that Karl is back, it would be good to take her out for more walks."
After pondering for a moment, Lilian smiled and said.
Belliana and Amanda also nodded when they heard this, with smiles on their faces.
"As for Ella's situation, it's all thanks to Karl over the years."
Ackerman said again, looking at Lilian with a look of gratitude on her face. As Ella's mother, she naturally knows the best about Ella's situation. Now she and Adela are both dead.
It has been impossible to get close to Aila. Over the years, if it were not for Lin Tianqi's rise and care, Aila's situation would never be as optimistic as it is now.
"We are all one family."
Lillian smiled at Amanda.
"Yes, we are all a family."
Belliana also laughed.
The atmosphere in the entire Baruch family has always been very good, and there is no competition between you and me.
"Humph, you stinky brother, you went to play with Ella and you didn't even call me."
Catherine, who came back and sat next to her, suddenly felt a little sour again, and couldn't help but pouted her lips and muttered dissatisfiedly.
Everyone nearby immediately looked at Catherine after hearing this, and Belliana joked with a smile.
"Look, our Catherine seems unhappy. Is she jealous because she sees her brother kissing her cousin more than her own sister?"
"grandmother!"
Catherine's face immediately turned red when she heard this, and she screamed in disapproval. Her heart beat faster. Ackerman, Lilian, Mia and others next to her all started laughing.
"With Ella's condition, it's not safe for anyone else to get close to her except Karl."
Ackerman followed up and explained the situation.
Catherine naturally knew this, but she couldn't help but feel a little sour.
"If you feel bored alone, you can go find Carlo. Didn't Carlo go out with his friends before?"
Lilian said.
"I won't go. It's too boring to be with Carlo. He's stupid, and I'm not familiar with his friends. It's more fun to have fun with Carlo."
Catherine curled her lips when she heard this.
Although both of them are younger brothers, and even Carlo is more obedient to her eldest sister than Carl, she doesn't know why, but she just feels that she likes Carl more in her heart, and even has a kind of dependence on him.
After hearing Catherine's words, Lillian educated her again.
"You are such a big man, don't keep pestering your brother, otherwise you will not be able to get married in the future."
When she heard about the marriage, Catherine's expression suddenly changed and she said quickly.
"I don't want to get married."
"Nonsense." Lilian's expression immediately turned serious when she heard this, and she scolded: "When a girl grows up, you don't want to think about what your family will do in the future."
"I, I, I..."
Catherine opened her mouth and hesitated for a long time but was speechless. After all, she still didn't have the courage to say what she was thinking in front of her mother, grandmother, and aunt. She was also worried that her mother would continue to make excuses for urging her to get married if she stayed here, so she immediately
He found another excuse and got up to leave.
Seeing Catherine's leaving figure, Lilian's eyes flashed with a hint of worry. She is a wise daughter, Mo Ruomu. How could she not notice some things? Even Catherine sneaked into Karl's yard for several hours last night.
She knew it when she came out, and it was precisely because she knew that she was even more worried. After all, her children have grown up, and it would be abnormal for them to be so close again.
............................
In the afternoon, as the sun set, Lin Tianqi returned to the Earl's Mansion with Ella after a day of sightseeing.
But just after returning to the Earl's Mansion, Lin Tianqi was secretly pulled aside by his eldest sister as if he were a thief before he could even sit down.
"Stinky Carl, I just know that your sister Ella doesn't call me when we go out to play."
As soon as she stopped, she looked at Lin Tianqi and Catherine said angrily.
"Sister, it's not like you don't know about Sister Aila's situation. Besides, you weren't at home when I went out in the morning."
Lin Tianqi said helplessly, looking at his eldest sister, she also had a headache.
When Catherine heard this, she still puffed her cheeks angrily, but she also knew that what Lin Tianqi said was the truth, and it was not because of this that she was looking for Lin Tianqi now, so she immediately said no more.
"Okay, I'll forgive you this time. I'm not looking for you for this. I just want to ask you. My mother is urging me to get married again. Please think of what to do."
Lin Tianqi: "..."
"How do I know what to do."
Lin Tianqi said helplessly.
"Then I don't care. I have to do it even if I don't know what to do. Anyway, you can find a way for me, otherwise I will tell my mother what we did last night."
Catherine is domineering.
"puff!"
Lin Tianqi almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and then said quickly.
"Sister, don't talk nonsense. We have no conscience. We didn't do anything last night. Don't talk nonsense. Mother and father will definitely break my three legs if I don't let them."
He was really a little panicked. Judging from the character of his eldest sister, it was really not something that he couldn't do if he pushed her into a hurry.
"What are you afraid of? You are now a third-level mage and a titled knight. My father can no longer defeat you."
When Catherine saw Lin Tianqi's anxious look, a proud smile suddenly appeared on her face, and she hummed.
"You don't really want me and my father to have a father-son fight, do you?"
Lin Tianqi didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Then you help me deal with the matter of urging the marriage, otherwise I will go to my mother and grandmother and say that you molested me last night and took advantage of me."
"You said the opposite."
Lin Tianqi was speechless, who are these people?
"Anyway, I don't care. If you don't resolve this matter, I will just say this and see what the final result will be."
mmp!
