The Happy Life of a Duchess

Perhaps Leo's appearance at the engagement banquet was a deliberate announcement by Miss Barry.

This young lady started to appear in various balls frequently with a surprising posture, and of course the reputation was as bad as ever.

Everyone has an almost sensitive to excessive resistance to her, as if in the next second she will suddenly step on everyone's name like before, and start to climb back into the title of "No. [-] Beauty". Of course everyone is unwilling.

Miss Barry committed a lot of crimes before and offended so many people, not to mention that the newcomers were unwilling to be suppressed by this old man, and those old men were also unwilling to see her continue to jump around and attract people's attention.

The most important thing is that in the eyes of everyone, Miss Barry is a person with a lack of virtue, especially now that she is basically confirmed to be pregnant——

Even though she was stubborn and didn't nod her head to admit it, everyone had already acquiesced in this matter. Mrs. Barry had already verified this matter to everyone in various ways, and everyone just sighed, Miss Barry is really hardworking.

But at the moment, Miss Barry can still barely cover up her stomach a little bit, to pretend that she is fine, and then her stomach swells up, so there must be no way to continue to toss like this.

"I'm so sick of her."

Leo was talking to Adele angrily while nibbling on the biscuits.

After the engagement banquet, Miss Barry's arrival almost destroyed the whole atmosphere, causing everyone's topic to focus on her, and even Leo's happy event was covered from the limelight.

Naturally, Leo had some small grievances with Miss Barry in the first place, and she is a good friend of Adele, so there is no doubt that she looked even more angry, and the resentment towards Miss Barry was short-lived. time has reached its highest point.

"Why is she everywhere!"

She wished she could slap the table to express her anger, but in the end she was heated up, and continued to complain about it with a fan.

Leo was traveling with his younger siblings yesterday, they are all acquaintances of several families, but he did not expect that on the first day of summer vacation in the suburbs, he happened to meet Miss Barry who was also going out.

Leo couldn't imagine that this lady who was pregnant but still refused to admit or deny it could run so well. Everyone stayed at home when they were pregnant, took good care of the baby, and occasionally had some activities. I will have to go out for a while, and I won't see her like this today, and I will be there tomorrow.

The most speechless thing is that the men who accompany her every day are still different.

Everyone is still guessing who the father of the child is, but no one will go too far to do such a seemingly "bold" thing during pregnancy. Who can be sure that nothing will happen to the orphans and widows?

When Leo thought about this matter, he felt very speechless, and the speechless kind also had the bad luck of being hit by bad luck again.

She has endured the engagement banquet, and she has endured the next few times. Originally, at this time, her newly engaged lady should be the person who is frequently praised and mentioned by everyone. This is also some kind of unspoken rule activity.

So far the results are good--

Leo didn't really want everyone to talk about her, but it didn't mean that she didn't want everyone's sincere care and blessing when she got engaged.

As a result, even Adele could see it very clearly. Before she walked around to greet Leo as the host, she had already discovered that everyone was talking about the Barley couple, Miss Barry, and the possibility Some grievances and grievances of the king are mixed in, and some of Miss Barry's flower protectors may be added, such as the big Mr. Becker and so on.

In short, even care and blessings have become careless. Even if Leo passed by, everyone still couldn't help gossiping, and even asked the organizer's Leo to ask whether the matter was true or not.

Firstly, Leo really didn't know anything, and secondly, the good and happy day was basically ruined like this.

If it was Adele, she would be angry too.

He just invited such an unlucky guest over, and lost all the happiness and engagement he should have had.

But this kind of daughter's family's thoughts are not easy to talk to outsiders. Even if they think differently, all girls will understand Leo's mood at this time.

It's definitely not that Leo is narrow-minded, but Mrs. Barry and Miss Barry are really very unkind. If they want to fight or make something public, why don't they hold a dance party by themselves? At other people's dance parties, at other people's engagement parties, they deliberately said these things...

From the beginning of the guests, it is very rude.

Why can't Leo, who is the master, feel annoyed?

It's not easy for Leo to tell this kind of distress at home.

In fact, as soon as the ball was over, before Leo exploded, her mother, Mrs. Hugo, was already angry.

As a woman, she is very considerate of Leo's mood, and she also understands the most possible consequences of Miss Barry's disgusting actions. She can see their thoughts clearly.

So she quarreled with Mr. Hugo angrily.

But as a gentleman, he also invited people from the Barry family. Of course, Mr. Hugo couldn't bow his head.

It is impossible for him to admit his mistake for this kind of thing-the fact is that the Barry family is one of his "friends" in the political arena, and it is impossible for him not to invite the other party, or it is very rude to write in the invitation letter please no Take Miss Sophie Barley, your sister, and he can't understand the mood.

"Is it a good thing to be mentioned as gossip and jokes?"

Mr. Hugo couldn't comprehend the feelings of his wife whose relationship with him had long been weakened.

As a sensible girl, Leo finds it difficult to be caught between her parents.

Mr. Hugo's words cannot be said to be unreasonable. After all, being a gossip is really not a good thing, but Leo's expectations are the same as Mrs. Hugo's expectations. They hope that everyone will mention any good things during this time When it happened, the first thing that came to mind was Leo's engagement, the various efforts made by the Fitch family in order to marry Leo, and to be able to get engaged to her——

Let's see that Mr. Fitch is even willing to stay in Paris and continue his business in order to be able to be with Leo and to satisfy Mr. Hugo's desire to love his daughter.

What a fine young man, what a great love...

Originally, everyone should praise this. According to common sense, when there is not much gossip in summer, everyone should be talking about this. Even then, they were talking about Mrs. Hugo's arrangement at the ball. Decoration and meals, and then praise Mrs. Hugo for being a virtuous lady, praise Leo for being such an excellent wife, and finally affirm how correct Mr. Fitch's choice is, and they will be happy in the future...

In short, anything is fine, similar content, there should be three to five days instead of a week and a half month, all of which can satisfy Mrs. Hugo as "Mrs. Hugo" to a large extent. Get the satisfaction of value affirmation.

It is true that there are not many actions that our wife can prove her worth, only through her children and her husband.

Specifically housekeeping and raising children.

The child survived, the child grew up well, and the child is such an outstanding genius. These are all evidences that can prove the excellence of the wife.

How well the housekeeper does, how well the husband takes care of his daily life, and how well the dance party is arranged at home...these are another way to prove himself.

The happiness and anticipation that Mrs. Hugo had accumulated with great difficulty, and the opportunity to affirm her self-worth were gone just like that.

And it was the engagement banquet of her favorite eldest daughter, and everyone didn't even praise her precious daughter much, but talked about the disgusting and immoral Miss Barry there.

Mrs. Hugo deeply felt that this was a completely wrong ball.

The biggest mistake was that Mr. Hugo actually invited the Barry family, and the Barry family actually made trouble on purpose at their ball.

Mr. Hugo did not approve of this matter, and he even thought that Mr. Barry, who was affected by the women's turmoil, deserved sympathy to a certain extent——

Leo has learned not to argue with men on this point, especially not to discuss it with her respected and beloved father, because they are not in the same position, even if they are father and daughter, there will be differences in thinking and so on.

But her mother has never had such a good temper. She was already a little dissatisfied with Mr. Hugo, and over the years she has become especially disliked being the kind of "understanding" and "gentle and gentle" woman he said, so the two of them Once again, there was a big fight.

Leo and his younger siblings hid helplessly in the upstairs room, listening to the fierce quarrel downstairs.

Normally, Leo might still be able to step forward to comfort his parents, ease the atmosphere, and coax his restless and helpless younger siblings. The older ones are okay, like her youngest sister Adele, just Always terrified of this scene.

At this time, the angry father would slam the door and leave. Of course, this is a very rare time. More often, the mother screamed in a shrill voice and complained in a voice full of tears whether he wanted to go to school again. Go outside to find an actress or something, and then angrily say that she already knew how he didn't keep his original promise, if she knew it earlier, what should she do...

This time, Leo couldn't handle it.

The family relationship that was finally eased, became particularly bad again because of a dance, because of Miss Barry.

As one of the parties involved, Leo couldn't even say a word. She told Mr. Fitch about her distress.

But unfortunately, as a man, he can only comfort one or two, and it is not easy to speak ill of Miss Barry with her openly, but to hear his comfort and promise of loyalty, Leo felt in his heart Still happy.

But if you complain, you still have to talk to your good girlfriends.

Adele slapped the table:

"That's right, shit Barry, let her go!"

Leo suddenly felt refreshed, followed by a clap:

"you're right!"
