The Happy Life of a Duchess

Thinking of this, Duval only felt that his mood inexplicably improved along with her smile.

This lady's smile has always had an astonishing influence on him, and he seems to have been unable to resist it.

Adele doesn't feel that she is gloating at all, but feels that Mr. Duval is doing the right thing.

Unexpectedly, after enduring such a situation, Miss Sophie Barry would still be able to "not die of evil spirits", and wanted to test out the marriage partner she thought was very suitable.

But judging from Adele's understanding of Mr. Duval, among other things, even if he wanted to marry a wife, he probably wouldn't choose a femme fatale like Miss Sophie Barry.

Even if he didn't know all the evil deeds this lady had done, she probably wasn't the one he liked.

Well, the latter is her own guess.

But Adele stubbornly told herself that she was right——

Maybe the other person likes hers, not Sophie Barley's.

No, it can't be maybe, it's better to be sure.

Afterwards, the two stood together for a while, and Mr. Duval praised and greeted a few more words.

That is to say, the two of them got along consistently, but Adele always felt that his attitude was a bit strange, as if he was not as comfortable and calm as before——

He is still the very confident Mr. Duval, yes, but it seems that when talking to her, especially when answering, sometimes when it comes to a sensitive issue that she thinks is "off the edge", he will Compared with the previous dealings, it showed a more hesitation.

Adele thought about it for a while, of course she also intended to test it, if it really "provoked", then that would be the best, if it didn't work, it doesn't matter.

However, right now his attitude is very subtle, so subtle that she can hardly capture his true emotions, that is, the first one or two pauses, and after that, no matter what Adele says to tempt her, she can be caught by him with a natural speech attitude Get over the past with ease.

There was no response, no rejection, and of course no promise——

She was delighted by his high EQ and gentlemanly demeanor, and she understood that it was a kind of protection for her reputation, but she couldn't help feeling a little lost or uneasy.

But she is not an overly worried person. Although she has a good impression of Mr. Duval and hopes to be the one standing by his side, she is not like other innocent noble ladies. , For this reason, I don't think about food and drink, and I am getting thinner and thinner day by day.

In this regard, she is still very measured.

If chatting, flirting, flirting, and one day it can be done, that would be great.

If it is found that it is inappropriate after all and there is no way to achieve it, then it is to say goodbye to each other and keep a distance from now on to be ordinary friends.

Although she is not sure whether she can do well in the latter, she is always mentally prepared for this, but before the final "failure", she will definitely try her best to fight for it, and at the moment she is still enjoying it. A "fantastic chase"—

Perhaps, it's not entirely one-way?

Adele was invited by Mr. Coster to dance again, and Mr. Duval watched her off with a smile.

"She's in a good mood." Mr. Costa really didn't invite her for no reason, and Adele understood as soon as the words came out.

"Really? Your wife is an interesting and kind person." Adele agreed with a smile.

"No, I understand her." On the contrary, Mr. Costa retorted with a smile.

This is also a very smart person. From Adele's point of view, he probably has more palaces than his wife, and he knows that there should be more than he imagined.

Adele doesn't know if Mrs. Costa said something to her husband, but judging from her personality, she should not be very good at sharing the embarrassing things before she got married with her husband.

But Mr. Costa doesn't seem to be ignorant of this, and it can even be said that he has a clear mind. He watched his wife's small actions but didn't say anything clearly.

Logically speaking, Mrs. Costa's family should not tell this son-in-law about such things that may affect her reputation.

However, Mr. Costa obviously has some ways of his own, or he made such a judgment based on his knowledge of his wife, and he may even speculate that he knows some truths.

"She doesn't like Miss Sophie Barry very much," he shook his head, as if to give her the bottom line, "I don't think it's a big deal, it won't become her heart disease, as for the others, I can do it too Solve it for her, but she doesn't want to talk to me."

Adele instantly understood that this was telling her.

He knows about his wife and Mr. Prucker, and he also knows that Miss Sophie Barry's little tricks are involved. He can handle these two guys well, as long as his wife tells him, but Costa The wife didn't reveal a word, but she has always had a "knot", and she is especially dissatisfied and even resentful towards Miss Sophie Barry.

Although she said she would not care about it anymore, she would not mind if she lived a happy life.

But in fact, Sophie Barry's influence on her, especially the original betrayal and "murder", left a deep mark on her heart, so that in her very happy life after marriage, she would also Think about it.

"...It's fine now. It seems that she really doesn't mind anymore and is very happy."

"That way I'm relieved."

Mr. Costa made it very clear that his attitude towards Adele is quite appreciative and grateful.

Adele can't judge how much Mr. Costa loves his wife from this incident, but judging from this incident alone, he is indeed a very tolerant and reasonable husband.

His wife's heart knot has been untied, and he doesn't intend to care about the little "relationship" problem in the past.

Whether it's based on knowing that nothing happened between her and Baron Prucker's son, or because he cares and loves his wife and is willing not to care about it, he can pretend to be ignorant when he knows everything, and maintain a harmonious and happy family life in the family. That explains his attitude.

From this point of view, Mr. Costa has no time to find other lovers outside, and he is willing to tolerate his wife and family, unlike other men who "care about the wounds in the hearts of their past wives".

Overall, this is a nice guy.

Adele had a little chat with the other party, and the two seemed to have a pleasant exchange.

They are all smart people who can tell a little bit, so it is more convenient to speak, and there is no need to worry about being overheard and prying into the details of the conversation.

— But I'm a little tired.

Adele got off the dance floor and couldn't help thinking.

"That's not the case with me and Mr. Smart."

When talking to Mr. Duval, she doesn't have to be so "worried", and doesn't have to worry about whether the words are safe or not, whether this is what she thinks, and whether the other party understands the meaning of what she said... …

When the two of them communicate, even if it is cryptic, there is no other risk. There is no need to think about those messy things, as if speaking out will ensure that the other party can understand, and there is no need to worry about other incidental things such as not being able to keep it secret. question.

I really want to meet what happened.

Adele changed places to go out on the dance floor, and still ran into Mr. Duval who was holding a glass of wine by a corner window.

"You seem to be in a good mood..." He smiled at her, and Adele walked towards him.

"Are you in a bad mood?" She stared at his face curiously, and she didn't seem to see any unhappy appearance, but if she was very happy, she was not. Always a social courtesy smile.

But she has seen that kind of real smile many times.

No matter how good-looking people smile, they are all good-looking-Adele can enjoy the pleasure of "seeing surprises" time and time again with the mentality of exploring treasures.

"A little."

He tilted his head a little melancholy, his deep blue eyes staring closely at hers.

Adele was about to ask what was going on, when she found that he suddenly approached him, pulling in a distance that seemed to exceed the polite distance of ordinary social interaction.

This seems like a dead end?

"I think……"

His red lips parted slightly, his expression inexplicable.

"What are you thinking?"

Adele was a little nervous for some reason.

Moonlight shines in through the window.

The atmosphere seemed to have changed suddenly.

It's amazing, it's like a balloon filled with pink powder exploded in the space in an instant——

So much so that all the space turned pink in the field of vision.

There seemed to be small bubbles in my heart that were burst by nervousness.

Every time one was broken, her heart would involuntarily tremble along with it.

The sound of the heartbeat seems too obvious?

Beauty seduces people, beauty seduces people.

She muttered frantically in her heart.

Adele can't move her eyes away, whether it's those deep and beautiful blue eyes that are so sexy, or the luxurious and exquisite light blonde short hair, or the curvature of his lips that seems to be slightly raised inadvertently— —

"Probably because I haven't been able to dance with you yet, so that the villain in my heart has become lost."

He spoke in a somewhat downcast voice, with a playful smile on his lips that did not diminish at all.
