Downton Abbey for your happiness

Sure enough, Thomas went to the appointment quickly, without making the Duke wait until the next day.As soon as the hotel door was closed, the other party said through gritted teeth: "You are such a bastard! I think we owe each other nothing."

Duke Cloboro sat in the armchair waiting, still with a smirk and said: "Don't be so indifferent, Thomas. Don't worry, I didn't really come to study those weeks in London, just looking for You borrow a little money."

"Then I really appreciate your high regard, but I think you have the wrong idea." Thomas said, trying to suppress his anger. He was still afraid of angering the other party and let John know about it.

"Really? But I don't think so." The Duke said slowly, "I heard that Mr. Spencer has a lot of treasures. I think it should not be difficult for you as a personal valet to take one or two? In this regard, you can count He's a seasoned veteran."

"You asked me to steal something!" Thomas didn't expect the Duke's purpose to be this. After being taken aback, he was filled with fear. If John found out, the unresolved conflict between the two would add another layer of theft, and he would definitely be caught. kicked out.

"Don't say it so ugly, it's just a deal, if you take something, I'll shut up, and there is no loss for you."

Hearing such brazen words, Thomas was so out of breath that it took him a long time to squeeze a single word through his teeth: "Bastard!" Then he slammed the door and left.

After thinking about it all night, Thomas found that he had no other way out except to do what the Duke said. Why did God always give him a fatal blow when he was about to touch happiness?If he really stole something, then he would run the risk of being discovered by John in the future. He couldn't imagine the scene at that time, and when he thought about it, he was filled with sadness and fear.But if he didn't steal the Duke, he would tell John his bad past, and the consequences were not something he could bear.

After tossing and turning until dawn, Thomas came to John's room.As soon as he entered the door, he was "blown" to the wall by a whirlwind, and the door was also closed with a "bang".

"Finally willing to come?"

Thomas felt that he was firmly pressed against the wall, and when he heard John's angry voice, he leaned over and wanted to kiss him: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that."

"Don't mess with me." John pushed him away.

"I didn't perfunctory you, it's true, I don't want your reputation to be hurt." He spoke his truth, but in order to soften John's heart, he deliberately looked pitiful.

Sure enough, the other party slowed down his tone: "Really? Then why did you avoid me yesterday?"

"Yesterday...a friend came to see me yesterday. I went to town. You can ask Butler Smith." After Thomas finished speaking, he waited anxiously for the other party's reaction. Fortunately, John believed his words, and his face returned to gentleness. , After kissing him, he said: "Don't ask, I believe in you. Don't make me wait for such a long time in the future."

Unexpectedly, they reconciled so easily, and it was useless for him to prepare an explanation all night, but Thomas didn't feel happy when he heard John's heart-warming words. Instead, he felt more depressed, and naturally smiled reluctantly.John thought that Thomas was still upset about what he said about him before, so he sat over and smiled and said, "Still angry? Well, my tone was not very good at the time, you don't know how much I regret seeing you ignore me, next time I promise to tell you well next time." John, who had made up his mind to let Thomas remember him a day ago, was defeated by the other party's face. He didn't dare to be arrogant, and even changed the subject. He didn't mind at all. Show your cards in front of your opponent.

In order not to misunderstand John, Thomas tried his best to smile from the heart, and he felt that he had already succeeded, but how could these meticulous things related to him escape John’s eyes, but John didn’t continue to dwell on this topic, and He suddenly mentioned: "Yesterday, I received a letter from Mr. Bates. He has successfully dealt with his wife's affairs. He and Anna will hold a wedding in the summer of June. I want to attend. Would you like to accompany me?"

"Of course." Thomas looked at John strangely, "Of course I want to go with you."

"No, I'm not talking about serving as a personal attendant, but sending blessings as their friend. You follow your heart, and I respect your choice."

Thomas bowed his head for a while and said, "I want to go with you."

John understood what Thomas meant, gave him a kiss and said, "You are always so sweet. By the way, I'm going to Downton Abbey in the afternoon. I heard that Bates and Anna are planning their wedding. I want to see it too. look."

Only then did Thomas make up his mind, and said with an idea: "But Dr. Hurst asked me to go to him for a review in the next two days. I made an appointment with him this afternoon."

Sure enough, when John heard that it was related to his injury, he said, "Then I'll go with you. I'll go to Downton Abbey another day. I'm not in a hurry anyway. I'll just send a telegram to Bates. He understands."

"No, the injury on my foot is almost healed, and I can do it myself. If you accompany me, Dr. Hurst will misunderstand."

"Okay then." John didn't insist anymore, "You can take a carriage with me. I'll take you to the doctor first, and then to Downton. But can you come back by yourself?"

Thomas said helplessly: "I'm not a child anymore. After the review, I still want to go to the town to buy something...Well, I suddenly thought of a gift for Bates, and I can come back before dark."

"Here, bring more money, buy yourself what you like." Indeed, Thomas is also an independent adult, and John is also reflecting on whether he had a strong desire to control and protect before?So this time he obeyed and gave Thomas some pounds.

John did not suspect anything and left the room to order the carriage ready for the afternoon.With Thomas alone in the room, it was perfect timing!He turned sideways to the door, and gently opened the drawer with the back of his hand behind him. He knew that there were always some pounds in the printed satin box, so that John could have money at any time.He didn't dare to draw too much attention, and he put an emerald brooch that John didn't often wear and a small amber pipe in his pocket. There was a reason for that. John didn't like to dress up, and he didn't touch those unless it was a formal occasion. Jewelry, he doesn't smoke, the amber pipe was given by someone else, and it has been put on the shelf since he came to Old Manor.

After tidying up his things, Thomas took a few deep breaths to calm himself down before getting into the carriage.John asked the coachman to turn to Dr. Hurst's house in the town, where he dropped Thomas off, and chatted with the doctor for a few days. The main point was that John set off for Downton after telling the doctor to treat him carefully.
