Countess' lover

On the first night in Delaford, Eliza knocked on the door of her adoptive father with a blanket in her arms rather unconsciously.

"Eliza...it's very late." Colonel Brandon felt helpless. He stood in front of the door, but the little girl walked past him as if she didn't see it at all.

"Eliza..." The colonel turned his head, but couldn't say anything after that.

The little girl was kneeling on his big bed. The girl was wearing a white nightgown in black and blue, with her thighs folded, revealing only a section of white and smooth calf and feet.The strong color brightness caught the colonel's attention in an instant, and the words that were intended to reprimand him disappeared for some reason.

Brandon seemed to feel his heart beating violently, a completely uncontrollable surge gradually spreading from his brain to his whole body.His eyes couldn't help moving up. The 13-year-old girl has already developed very well, and the bulge on her chest cannot be ignored at all.The fat little face of the baby back then had already elongated. Although it still maintained a little roundness, it was still quite glamorous.

Elisa was still holding her own blanket in her hands, her little head raised high.The black eyes gleamed brightly. "I'm going to sleep here tonight."

Her voice was clear and clear, especially for girls, but it was slightly hoarse perhaps because she was a little sleepy.Not to ask, but to decide.This made Colonel Brandon couldn't help frowning, and he regained what he wanted to say.

"You are already 13 years old Elisa, you can no longer be like a child." Brandon tried to speak to Eliza in a gentle tone, in fact, even if he wanted to, he couldn't be serious with his adopted daughter.

Eliza knew very well that her adoptive father was reluctant to scold her, to speak harshly to her, or even to have a severe attitude.She lowered her head slightly, hiding her almost uncontrollable smile, her voice was a little aggrieved, "What does that matter? It was okay when I was a child, and it is the same now! I just grew up, but I am still the same me, never changing." Like He, too, has never changed.

She suddenly became depressed again, and Gu Pan Shenghui's black eyes also became slightly dimmed, so what if she likes her again?He was destined to be only her adoptive father.As long as you can get in touch with him more while you are young, that's enough...

Colonel Brandon was sensitive to Eliza's depression. Although he didn't understand that his words made his adopted daughter feel this way, he still couldn't help but soften his heart.The colonel's words were considered, trying to make a final struggle, "Of course I know that you have never changed, it's just...Eliza, you have grown up, and I am not your direct blood relative...I, I don't want to affect your reputation , and it’s definitely not that I don’t love you anymore!”

He hesitated, even stammered, but Elisa still felt the care and worry of her adoptive father.She raised her head and looked closely at Colonel Brandon with those bright and slightly melancholy black eyes.Just watching, Brandon is reluctant to say another word.

"But...you haven't visited me at school for four months..." Eliza's weak expression made people feel distressed, "Christoph, I, I miss you very much. Just this time, the last time, May I?"

Speechless, guilt quickly occupied Brandon's heart and mind.He couldn't help but find excuses for Eliza's request—13 years old is not too old, and Elisa is still a child. He himself said that he would never do anything against Eliza. Saying bad things about Eliza... Actually, it's okay?

The colonel finished his mental preparation, sighed heavily, and walked towards the bed. "I can never speak well of you, Eliza. Get under the covers. It's cold at night."

This is awesome!Eliza smiled and frowned, obediently got into the quilt, and quickly nestled in the colonel's arms when he came in.The girl's figure was no longer the chubby mass she used to be, but slender and uneven.Brandon could clearly feel a mass of unrestricted softness against his chest.

The little girl's sleeping position is very irregular.Two legs like to squeeze between his legs, slightly curled up.Turning his body to one side, Tian Tian wrapped his arms around his back and leaned his head against his neck. His subtle breath mixed with the fresh and light fragrance of the girl entered his nostrils.

"Eliza..." He called out softly, but Elisa didn't answer him. The girl was breathing steadily, and she was obviously asleep.The colonel didn't call her again, so he had no choice but to sleep like this.It's just that only Colonel Brandon himself knows how difficult this night is.

Since that night, although Colonel Brandon tried his best to treat Eliza as the youngest daughter of the past, from the bottom of his heart, he knew that his eyes on Eliza could no longer be so simple.With some deliberation, the colonel distanced himself from his adopted daughter.

For more than two years, Elisa received more and more things and pocket money, but the number of times she saw the colonel became less and less.She was clearly aware of this, and while accepting it silently, she could only focus more on the invested factories.

It was not only her pocket money that was put into it, but also the dowry returned to her mother by Colonel Brandon.In her previous life, it was precisely because of the money that Elisa had to spend that she was pursued by Willaby. Fortunately, this time she used it in the right place.

Putting aside those emotional matters, Andrew is indeed a very capable person.A rising middle-class industrial capitalist rises, but only a few people know that it is Elisa who has made the most profit.It is worth mentioning that Andrew still showed nostalgia for Elisa's mother after he became rich, and he was unwilling to marry another wife, which made Eliza take a high look at Andrew.

The day before Eliza's sixteenth birthday, she returned to Delaford at the behest of Colonel Brandon.

July is still a good month. There is no continuous rain, and there are occasional sunny days.But Eliza's luck was not very good. When she was about to arrive in Delaford, it suddenly began to rain.

In order to cool off, Elisa also deliberately chose an open carriage, but the sudden rain made her extremely embarrassed.The carriage finally arrived at Delaford, and Eliza didn't bother to open an umbrella, and rushed under the eaves in the rain.She put the hat on her head with one hand, lowered her head, and rushed into someone's arms without paying attention.

"what!"

It's as hard as a wall, Eliza thought, slipping and falling backward involuntarily.Of course, she couldn't have hit a wall. The gentleman was more agile, so he quickly pulled Eliza, which prevented her from falling, but at the same time he held her in his arms. .

Eliza exhaled in shock, and raised her head to thank the gentleman, but the familiar surprised and helpless voice successfully made her body stiff.

"Eliza..."

Her adoptive father, Colonel Brandon.Elisa lowered her head, the man's hard and thick chest made her nostalgic and reluctant to part with it.Her eyelashes hung down under her eyelids, long and thick, fanning.She raised her head, her eyes looked up first, her delicate eyebrows and eyes were a little charming for no reason, and they seemed to be sweet and natural between a girl and a woman.

It was like a beam of warm light breaking up the hazy clouds, and this beam of light directly hit his arms and entered his eyes and heart.The girl looked at him, her clear black eyes were the most beautiful black gems.The rain washed her face pale, and her bright red lips stood out.

Brandon froze, eyeing his adopted daughter carefully.His Eliza had grown up, with two plump breasts ready to come out, squeezing against his chest.On the white skin on the left side, there is a bright red mole dotted brightly on the bulging chest.It makes the mouth dry, and I can't help but want to spy on the scenery below...

"Christopher?" Eliza moved symbolically in her adoptive father's arms, and Brandon woke up immediately and let her go.

What was he thinking about his adopted daughter!In his heart, the colonel scorned his gaze just now.Maybe he really hasn't touched a woman for too long?Eliza left his arms in a hurry, and Brandon felt lost at the loss of that soft girl.

Colonel Brandon asked Elisa to go to the room to change clothes first. He didn't want his adoptive daughter to catch a cold because of being caught in the rain for a while.Tomorrow is Elisa's birthday, 16 years old... not too young.

Eliza changed her clothes and took a shower by the way.When she arrived at the restaurant, the dust along the way had been washed away.Her golden-brown curls were still damp, and she looked as alluring as a rose after the rain in a light dress.

"I kept you waiting for a long time." Polite, courteous, but also alienated.Colonel Brandon suddenly felt very uncomfortable. Compared with such politeness, he would rather see Eliza pat his shoulder playfully and cover his eyes as before.

What the hell is he thinking!Hadn't Eliza's distance been what he had hoped for?When a little girl grows up, she shouldn't be like she was when she was a child.The colonel smiled at Eliza, and finished lunch peacefully with his adopted daughter.

After lunch, Elisa reported her recent studies to her adoptive father. When Colonel Brandon heard Elisa say that she loved singing and painting, he was very interested and asked Elisa to sing for him.And Elisa also mischievously asked her adoptive father to accompany her, and Brandon naturally would not refuse.

The girl's singing voice is clear and charming. She likes to add tremors and twists at the end of the note, just like herself in a playful way.She sang so well that even the accompaniment Colonel Brandon couldn't help but be more serious. The smooth notes flowed from his fingers, the singing and piano perfectly blended together, and the drizzle seemed particularly different. lingering.

At the end of the song, the colonel looked back and met the eyes of his adopted daughter, as if affected by the ensemble, the eyes of the two lost the alienation they hadn't seen for a long time.Quiet, ambiguous.Brandon's heart was beating uncontrollably, and he once again realized that something was wrong with him. Perhaps this something was wrong a long time ago, but he didn't want to think about it... This time, it was the same.
