Holder Manor Secret

After that, Mary gave some more instructions, and the conversation gradually came to an end, and Hughes was about to leave.Edward left in a panic.His footsteps were chaotic, and he stepped on the soft carpet, as if he couldn't step on it.

"Uncle Edward."

A very young voice sounded from behind, and Edward staggered a bit, holding on to the pillar to stabilize his body.A little girl stepped out from the corner, wearing a dark green dress.The skirt was exquisitely crafted, but for her age, it seemed a bit dark.

"Oh, Anna," Edward let out a breath, "why are you here?"

Anna pouted and said unhappily, "They were having so much fun that no one cared about me." She twisted her skirt, "Look at this color, how old-fashioned, but mom insists on making this!"

Before Anna ran into the woods alone, although there was no danger in the end, everyone still had lingering fears.So her two older sisters kept her under strict supervision.Now it’s hard work, and Holder’s Manor held another grand ball. The little girl held her breath and wanted to show off, but she couldn’t even make a dress to her liking. She was really wronged.

"Don't be unhappy, little princess." Edward walked over and motioned for her to take his arm. "Beautiful lady, may I ask you to walk around?"

He behaved elegantly, with a friendly and respectful attitude. Anna couldn't help showing a shy and happy expression, "Of course, gentleman." She nodded slightly pretending to be old-fashioned, and walked over very reservedly, holding the hem of her skirt.

In the long corridors and winding stairs, young ladies and middle-aged gentlemen walked side by side, and the moonlight poured out from the windows, like the finest silk, with an extremely smooth texture.In the faint music, the gentleman politely praised the young lady's youth and beauty.The most beautiful gems in this world are not as good as the colors in her eyes, and the fresh flowers are just the mud under her feet. Everyone is fascinated by her, and she deserves everything.The complicated and exaggerated metaphors were spoken from the gentleman's mouth, which seemed so sincere.

Compliments are always the most essential part of the education of all gentlemen.

Anna hadn't entered into social life yet, and she couldn't attend many parties, and she was a little unfamiliar with such compliments.It is true that she could hear a few words from the suitors of her sisters, but none of them were for her.The young lady soon cheered up.When walking outside the hall, Anna looked at Edward expectantly. "Go, little princess." Edward said with a smile.

Anna let go of his arm, trotted for two steps, then suddenly remembered something, stopped, raised her head, and walked in very dignifiedly.

In two years, she will really step into this eccentric circle and start talking about marriage.And now, she could retain a little of her precious innocence.

The innocence that Edward cared for.

After watching Anna leave, the smile on Edward's face gradually disappeared.Mary's conversation with Hughes weighed heavily on his heart like a heavy stone.He knew the situation of Holder Manor very well, and he was not enough to pay such a huge sum as a dowry.In addition to the extra one hundred pounds sent every year, only a very small number of people in Rees Town can do it.

Music one after another, people arm in arm around the circle.Among the jewels and feathers on the heads of the ladies, Edward saw Vincent's face.

He also saw Edward.

Among the spinning figures, they stood like a still life, with one eye and the other looking at each other, as if the surrounding hustle and bustle did not exist.

Just an illusion.

The noise in the hall and the silence outside the hall divide this small piece of land into two parts, indicating their eternal estrangement.Edward knew that this was someone he couldn't get, and the best thing to do was to keep a respectful distance and maintain vain etiquette and respect.

However, there are always too many things pushing him towards him, or, he couldn't help it, towards him.

Hard to hold on to, hard to redeem.

He bit his lower lip, signaling Vincent to meet him in the court.

As those noble ladies hinted at their lovers.

Vincent walked beside Edward in silence.

They went to the fountain, and met young ladies and gentlemen, and the moonlit garden was peaceful and beautiful, and it was a good place to wander.Edward hesitated to speak several times, because he always met various young people who love romance one after another.He could only keep looking at Vincent, the emotion in his eyes was as strong as the fragrance in a sea of ​​flowers.

Vincent watched him silently.

There is a huge labyrinth in the garden, which was built during the lifetime of the first wife of Baron Holder.Edward led Vincent in, and turned one corner after another, until the wall of flowers still appeared in front of him, unable to move forward.

This is an intimate, conversation-friendly nook.

"Sir, I have something to ask you, please give me an accurate answer."

Edward endured for a long time, and said very eagerly.

Vincent looked at him calmly.

"I heard... Almina's dowry is huge, and it's not something the Holder family can afford." Edward said in an almost certain tone, "It's you, right?"

Vincent's Adam's apple twitched.

"Did this bother you in any way?" His voice was deep and sweet, and every word became a poem. "Caramia."

The hoarse French made Edward's heart palpitate.He tried to stay calm and said, "Mr. Thomas, no matter what kind of agreement you have with the Baron, I just hope..."

Vincent approached slowly.

"what?"

"I... I just hope that you don't pay the price for the happiness of the ladies."

Edward wanted to back off, but not to be outdone, he stood upright, making sure his words had the force.

Under the moonlight, his face and neck were glowing silver, slender, weak, strong, vulnerable.

Those words with opposite meanings have been perfectly integrated in him.People want to hold him in their arms and nibble on his neck; they can't help but stare at him, and they can't bear to damage this perfect picture.

Caramia.

Suddenly there was a sound of playfulness nearby, Huaqiang trembled slightly, and the sound quickly turned into a panting.Edward was shocked, unable to maintain superficial etiquette, he took steps in a panic, wanting to leave this place, but was dragged into his arms by Vincent, eager kisses fell on his face and neck frantically , The body was rubbed to the point of pain.

"Do not…"

Edward refused with difficulty, but Vincent's smell and movement made him dizzy.He was like a prey held down by a lion, it was difficult to break free, and it was difficult to breathe.

"Hush... my beauty..."

Vincent licked his cochlea. "You don't want to be heard, don't you want to be discovered...be quiet...beauty..."

Edward was trembling constantly, like a pussy cat.

The groans from Huaqiang became louder and louder, and the high-pitched ending tickled the heart.Vincent tore the clothes on Edward's body, unloaded the pants to his thighs, and then squeezed himself between the legs, rubbing them constantly.

Edward covered his lips and glared at the young man. He tried his best to be vicious, but there was water and moonlight in his eyes. Not only was he not threatening, but he was even more alluring.

"Caramia..."

Thick and ambiguous French, prodigal son playing with girls, exaggerated and grotesque opera.In the labyrinth, there is a wall of flowers, two places have sex, morality and interests are all dissipated with the wind.

Edward snorted and bit Vincent's shoulder hard.

"My beauty, my love, relax...I will take good care of you."

"I promise."
