Flowers, Swords and France

After hearing Marshal Treville's thoughts, Laura did not waste this opportunity at all, and directly asked Charles, whom she had always hated, to kneel on the ground and apologize to her. At his grandfather's request, Charles had no choice but to comply with the request, suppressing the embarrassment and humiliation in his heart and doing so.

After Charles knelt on the ground and apologized to Laura, Baron de Beauvain stopped him.

However, because he wanted to see Ciel's joke, he kept watching without saying a word when Ciel knelt down, and only spoke to stop him when he was happy enough.

As he said himself, the sight of an imperial minister kneeling in front of him was very satisfying to his vanity. What's more, because of Laura's unexpected pregnancy, he had long wanted to teach this absurd and ignorant person a lesson. Boy. When Ciel stood up slowly and awkwardly, his rough laughter echoed in the study, making Ciel feel very harsh.

As for Laura, she was even more happy. She didn't laugh, but her smile became brighter and meaner. However, her originally delicate face also seemed to have a bit more elusive charm because of this reason.

"How are you, beauty?" Marshal Treville also smiled and asked Laura in a rather intimate tone, "You should be satisfied now, right?"

"Now I believe your sincerity, Your Excellency." Laura's face turned redder because of excitement and excitement. "In this case, I am also very grateful for your enthusiasm."

"That's right! We usually can't change the past, but we can always make amends for the future." The old man nodded approvingly, "I'm glad you understand the truth so well - and I'm also happy to do it again. Let me repeat to you the promise I made to your father just now, no matter what happens, our family will be your protectors."

"Protector? No, I don't need a protector. I can take care of myself - and my children." However, Laura's reaction was somewhat beyond Marshal Treville's expectations. Instead, she sneered. , then shook his head, "All I need is a collaborator, and I think you and your grandson can be my collaborators. Not everyone has this honor, so you can be happy for it." ”

"Oh?" Laura's unusual answer surprised the marshal. He looked at Laura again, as if he wanted to get to know her again.

Even though she is about to become a mother, her seemingly innate arrogance has not been diluted by motherhood. She is still as ambitious and arrogant as usual, as if she has never been afraid of anything.

"Oh!" The old man couldn't help sighing again, "Yes, collaborator, we are very willing to fight with you and serve you."

Then he suddenly turned his gaze and glanced at Charles, with a mixture of envy and reproach, "Such a lovely lady, you can actually do ridiculous things. Charles, where is your conscience?"

Ciel, increasingly embarrassed, just shrugged and looked away. And his way of swallowing his anger also made Laura feel extremely happy.

"You can't ask him to have something he has never had before, Your Excellency." Laura continued to mock Charles mercilessly, "But you don't have to worry too much about me, because I have already recovered from the shadow he has brought to me. I got out and I can move on with my life.”

"It would be great if you could forget the previous unpleasantness..." The old man nodded with understanding, "Since the two of you were once passionately in love, it means that there is still feelings between you, and the love and good memories must still remain. your hearts, and I think this love will definitely serve you both well in the future.”

The smile on Laura's face suddenly disappeared, and she showed a difficult look that was a little disgusting but could only endure it.

Where was there any "love and good memories" between her and that person in the past? On the contrary, they were all painful memories. The two times she had fun with that man were both when she was raped, which was no different from a nightmare.

However, due to various concerns, she could not tell others the reasons. Instead, she had to admit that she was deceived by a playboy because of her "young and ignorant" and lost her virginity and became pregnant, so this uncomfortable feeling became more intense.

All kinds of unbearable memories suddenly emerged from the deepest part of her memory, and a desire to vomit came into her heart. She finally resisted the discomfort, and then managed to maintain a minimum smile.

"You're right, the past has passed after all... I won't worry about the past anymore."

Seeing her in such a difficult situation, Ciel couldn't bear it.

"Laura, many things in the past are a burden to us, and we don't need to carry them anymore." He said pointedly, "Let's forget it together. From now on, we will usher in a new era." Life……"

"In that case, why don't we just come up with a name for our unborn child here?" Marshal Treville saw that the two people suddenly seemed to be fighting over something, so he immediately changed the subject, "Or have you already thought about it? "

"You don't need to worry about this. I have already thought of a name for this child." Baron de Beauvin replied happily, "If it is a boy, call him Maurice."

When she heard the name, Laura's face twitched slightly. She didn't expect that the memory of her brother would remain so stubbornly in her father's heart. She couldn't help but feel a sense of despair in her heart.

No matter what I do, can you never forget him? No... I would rather die than give birth to a boy and let him inherit this hateful name. She swore secretly in her heart.

Charles saw what Laura was thinking and sighed secretly.

"What if the baby is a daughter?" he asked calmly.

"That...I haven't thought about it yet." The Baron frowned.

"If it's a daughter, let's call her Liana. That's my wife's name. I've long wanted to give this name to one of my great-granddaughters - so if Laura gives birth to a daughter, I will give her a name like this "Gift." Marshal Treville solved the problem he faced, "If the child is as beautiful as the mother, then she must be worthy of this name."

"Okay, it's a good name, let's do it." After pondering for a moment, the Baron immediately nodded and accepted. Obviously, to him, if the baby is a girl, it doesn't matter what the name is.

Then, he glanced at Laura again and found that Laura seemed to be feeling a little unwell, but he was not surprised, after all, pregnant women at this time are always low in energy.

"Char, take her back to rest. Laura needs to rest now. You can chat with her for a while." He waved to Charles.

Charles walked to Laura's side politely, stretched out his hand diligently, and prepared to take her away.

"Thank you." Laura breathed in a low voice, then stretched out her hand to hold Charles, and moved out of the room step by step.

Her steps were very slow and slow, but Charles was very considerate of her and deliberately slowed down, helping Laura return to her room little by little.

The second time he came here, he was no longer shocked by the luxurious furnishings before. He just carefully helped Laura to the bed and then helped her sit down.

"Thank you." Laura gritted her teeth and spit out these words.

"I know that you were disgusted by your patience and admission of our previous affair in front of your father and my grandfather. If you want to scold me now, you can do it as much as you want. It will be good for you to let go of the pent-up resentment. ." Charles sat down next to her calmly.

"What's the use of scolding you? Will you be touched by this?" Laura glanced at him, with a hint of ridicule in her disdain, "If you won't be touched by this, then why should I waste my words?"

"But I see that you seem very unhappy." Charles smiled, "So I think I should do something."

"It's not because of you that I'm unhappy!" Laura interrupted him, "I'm unhappy because I'm like this now. I have difficulty moving, can't go anywhere, can't see anyone, and can't even eat. I can’t go on! There are so many things waiting for me to do, but I ended up I can only sit here, watching everything go off the rails, and being ridiculed by people who don't know what's going on - they must have thought that I couldn't bear the responsibility and couldn't withstand the pressure, so they retreated home... Hateful, for a moment The thought of being laughed at by the bugs makes me furious."

"So after all, aren't you blaming me?" Charles smiled, then reached out and grabbed her hand, and hugged her directly into his arms. "Now that things have reached this point, there is no other way. Just be patient for now. It will only be fine in a few more months, right? There is no need to be angry with the bugs. Anyway, you can manipulate them as you like by then."

"Don't approach me with such deliberate tenderness, it's disgusting!" Laura glared at Charles with disgust, and then struggled to get rid of Charles' hand.

However, Charles did not do as she wished. Instead, he directly broke down her resistance and hugged her into his arms. Then, his other hand slowly slid to the high bulge of his belly.

"Don't touch me again!" Laura looked at him with an angry face, "What are you doing?!"

"Can't I touch my own child?" Charles replied in a low voice.

Charles' touch brought back Laura's most painful memories. At that time, his hand was a devil's claw, but today, this hand was unusually gentle, gently getting into the gap between the buttons, Touching her belly, a numb and itchy feeling spread from her skin, making Laura seem to have lost some strength for a moment.

Because of her pregnancy, she often lost her temper recently, scaring the people around her out of their wits. However, today, under Charles' touch, her mood calmed down a lot.

"Is there any way you can... let a person only give birth to a girl?" Laura asked in a low voice, "I would rather die than be the mother of Morris!"

"I have no way to change the gender of the fetus. I can only help you pray to God that she will be a daughter." Charles shook his head, and then he spoke in confusion, "But, even if it is a boy this time, As long as we work hard, we will eventually have a daughter, right?”

"Get out!"(~^~)
