Chapter 1561: Insidious Plot 4
Mrs. Sophie understood what Edward meant. Now it was their mother and daughter who were asking for help from their father and son, so she said: "It's so late and the weather outside is bad, so don't rush back. Let's talk after dinner." "
"Is it convenient?" Edward raised his eyebrows and smiled.
"It's just a dinner, there's nothing inconvenient about it." Madam Sophie raised her lips and turned to tell the servant to prepare dinner...
**
Mrs. Sophie cooked several Chinese dishes herself, and everyone gathered around to eat.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, your taste has not changed at all and you still like Chinese food so much."
Edward looked deeply at Mrs. Sophie. He had liked Mrs. Sophie when he was young. Unfortunately, at that time, Mrs. Sophie was already the wife of Earl William, and he himself was married and had children.
In order to get Mrs. Sophie, he used many tricks behind his back, but Mrs. Sophie was very principled, smart and alert, and guarded against him at every turn, and she did not fall into his hands after all.
How many years have passed, Edward has always longed to have dinner alone with Mrs. Sophie at the same table one day. The warm feeling is like the realization of his long-cherished wish.
Now, he has finally realized it. Although there are two more people at the dining table, these two are their children and represent the vicissitudes of the past twenty years...
"My grandmother is Chinese, and I originally have part of the Chinese ancestry, and I really like Chinese food." Mrs. Sophie said as she spooned soup for William Faier, "Faier, drink more soup, it will be good for your health." good."
"Thank you, Mommy." William Fairy glanced at Mrs. Sophie. She could see that Edward had that kind of interest in her mother. She didn't know this before. Last time Edward took her mother away alone. , she had doubts, but she had never been sure, but this time she had no objections.
"Be careful!" Austin warned considerately.
"Yeah." William Fair felt very awkward. She was disgusted with the way Edward looked at her mother. Thinking about it now, the reason why Edward is helping them now is probably not entirely because of Austen, right? Maybe it has something to do with my mother, Mrs. Sophie.
…
The mother and daughter had a tasteless dinner. They were both worried about Lynn's condition and had no appetite at all.
Edward had a good appetite and ate a lot of food. Austin took good care of William Fair, coaxing her to eat more, and eat more...
After about an hour, dinner was finally over, and the rain had not stopped yet. The servants were cleaning up the dining room, and Mrs. Sophie reminded them to prepare Chinese medicine for William Fair.
William Fair's fetal condition was unstable due to lack of Qi and blood and stimulation, so the doctor prescribed some traditional Chinese medicine suitable for pregnant women, which she had to boil and drink in a Chinese casserole every day, saying it was more effective.
Edward looked at the time. It was already nine o'clock in the evening. Lei Lie hadn't arrived yet, so he couldn't leave yet.
Seeing that their father and son had no intention of leaving, Mrs. Sophie couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but she was embarrassed to issue an eviction order, not to mention that they had to rely on them to help arrange a special flight to Hong Kong tomorrow.
Although Mrs. Sophie doesn't care about the money, the key point is that since Mayfair's identity was leaked, a lot of media have been watching the whereabouts of their mother and daughter. Once they appear in a public place like the airport, they will soon be exposed. People gathered around and asked...
What's more, Her Majesty the Queen has already ordered that they are not allowed to stay in France. They are keeping a low profile now because they are afraid of causing any more trouble. If they make it public again, the Queen will not let them go.
After all, mother and daughter really need someone to rely on now, so Mrs. Sophie has to endure this night no matter what.
Thinking about it from another angle, Edward didn't dare to do anything too extreme. The worst he could do was just sit there for a while.
"Our previous conversation was interrupted because of Mr. Linn's matter. Is it time to get back to business now?" Edward suddenly asked, "Sophie, Faile, when do you think it is better to set the wedding date?"
William Fair was stunned and looked at his mother in panic.
"Lynn's condition is getting worse now, and it's a matter of life and death. I don't want to talk about it for the time being." Mrs. Sophie frowned, "No matter what, we have to wait until his condition stabilizes."
"But the child in Mayfair's belly can't wait." Edward smiled slightly, "Sophie, you also know that because of your small mistakes when you were young, Mayfair has a sensitive identity now and has to bear the abuse of many peers. Without the pressure, do you hope that the child in her belly will be like this in the future?"
Mrs. Sophie lowered her head in shame, feeling very heavy.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to insult you." Edward spread his hands, "I just think that you have to have a plan for everything. Don't worry about it when it comes to the end. Of course, I also understand your current situation. , Lin En's condition is serious, and no one is in the mood to talk about marriage. I'm not forcing Fei'er to hold a wedding with Lei Lie right away. I just have a suggestion..."
"What proposal?" asked Madame Sophie.
"Let them register their marriage first, and then hold the wedding in the future when Lynn's affairs are completely settled," Eward said.
Hearing these words, Mrs. Sophie was stunned, and William Fair was also very uneasy. He didn't expect Edward to be so anxious that he forced her and Lei Lie to register first.
"What? It looks like you don't want to." Edward raised his eyebrows and looked at the mother and daughter deeply, "Isn't it now that Austen is just wishful thinking? Mayfair doesn't want to marry at all. Austin?"
"Of course not." Austin hurriedly took William Faier's hand, "Faier, didn't you already promise me that you would marry me as long as my dad agreed?"
"I..." William Feier felt panicked and looked at his mother for help.
"Eward..."
"Sophie!" Edward interrupted Mrs. Sophie's words and said bluntly, "You know, I have a lot of work to do, and I don't have time to play games, and I don't like to be played around by others. The melon is not sweet, If you don't agree with this marriage, just say so, I will never force you, but..."
He paused and said meaningfully, "William Mayfair teases Austin again and again. He can swallow this tone, but I can't."
"Daddy..."
"You can figure it out for yourself." Edward took out his cell phone and checked the phone book, and said casually, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to do tomorrow and I need to use a special plane. Oh, it seems that I was sent to garrison in Hong Kong before. Those followers haven't come back yet. Maybe they can help me with something. By the way, it seems that our country has not yet made it public to have children out of wedlock, right? Pregnancy without marriage is not a glamorous thing, if it is publicized by the media. …”
"That's enough!" William Fair interrupted Edward and said excitedly, "You don't have to threaten me openly or secretly. I promise to marry Austin. Is that okay?"
"Don't make it sound like I'm forcing you." Edward said confidently, "You promised me not to be here before, but now you've gone back on your word. I'm just asking you to fulfill your promise. What's wrong with that?"
William Fair was so angry that he couldn't say a word. Yes, all the mistakes were her fault. She shouldn't have been soft-hearted and agreed to Austin. She had forgotten that no matter how good Austin was to her, he still had A dark family is a disaster.
"Daddy, please stop talking." Austin glared at Edward angrily.
"Mommy, I'm very tired and want to go back to my room to rest." William Fair didn't want to deal with Edward anymore.
"Go, I'm not feeling well, I should rest early." Mrs. Sophie also didn't want William Fair to suffer from this anger again.
"Well..." William Fair stood up.
"Feier, I'll accompany you up." Austin quickly supported William Faier.
"No, I can do it myself." William Fair withdrew his hand.
"I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just keep an eye on you." Austin hugged her waist again, "When the rain subsides and you finish drinking the Chinese medicine, I'll go back and pick you up tomorrow morning. Go to the airport."
Hearing this, William Fair had no choice but to compromise: "Okay then."
The two went upstairs together. Mrs. Sophie arranged for the servant to bring some tea to greet Edward. Edward took a sip of tea and said, "You know, I am not interested in these desserts."
"I'm sorry, I only have food that girls like to eat, so..."
"It's okay." Edward looked at her with a smile, "It's rare for us to have some free time, let's play chess."
"Playing chess?" Mrs. Sophie thought that this could pass the time, so she nodded, "That's fine."
…
The two began to play Go. Mrs. Sophie was a master of chess when she was young. Among women, she was the only one who could play Go with Edward. Austin's mother could not play chess at all and had nothing in common with Edward. language.
Edward loved spending time alone with Mrs. Sophie. Even if it was just chatting, drinking tea, or playing chess, it was very pleasant for him.
…
In the room upstairs, Austin helped William Fair lie on the bed, smoothed out the quilt for her, poured her a cup of steaming fruit tea, and said softly: "Go to sleep. I turned off the light and sat down. Reading in the small living room, I promise not to disturb you. "
"Actually, I can't sleep either." William Fair looked at him deeply, "Why don't we chat."
"Okay." Austin naturally wanted it, and happily sat on the bedside, "What do you want to talk about?"
"There are some things that I don't quite understand..." William Fair asked bluntly, "Your father clearly knows that the child I am carrying is not yours, why did he agree to our marriage??"
Austin was slightly startled: "Is this what you want to ask?"
"This is very important to me." William Fair said solemnly, "Actually, I believe that you are sincerely good to me, but your dad doesn't really like me. I feel that if I really marry you I’m afraid things won’t be easy for me at home, and I feel so depressed when I think about having to listen to their arrangements for everything in the future.”
