Lady Ada

Laughed, this time with a hearty laugh, "Well, that's right...how did you know that?"

"Do you still remember the time when I fell into the water and you came to rescue me? Didn't you ride back alone afterwards? I can see that it was an expert riding a horse. Right?" The corners of Ada's mouth raised, as if to expose A remarkable thing.

"Oh... well, I wanted you to ride back that time. Oh! Well, because I don't want to be involved in any hunting activities. Just... you know I'm not interested in those, except for riding." Leon dropped his hands book, got up and came to Ada's side, embraced her, and enjoyed the sunshine together. "I swear, I didn't lie to you otherwise."

"I believe in you..." Ada got up slightly and gave Leon an intimate and sweet kiss.

Ada has been in the US for almost 2 months.She gradually fell in love with this open place.Perhaps there are no tedious details of nobles here, but she likes to get in touch with new things, and Leon is with her.The weather is very cool this afternoon.In the following time, the two of them enjoyed afternoon tea quietly without disturbing each other, looked at the book in hand, and spent a relaxing afternoon quietly as usual.

"Ada, how are you doing during your time in America?" Mr. Wong asked Ada during a peaceful lunch.

"Not bad..." Ada didn't meet Grandpa's eyes, but continued with her spaghetti.

"Then you can stay." Then the old lady Wong turned to Helena who was standing aside and said, "Helena, you too, stay in America."

"This... I can't decide. But I still have my parents and my sister in England." Obviously Helena finds this question extremely embarrassing, and has to admit that she hates sailing, but she wants to go back to England anyway.

"I heard that you met a boy here? Is that the one you often date?" Mr. Wong continued to ask. He hoped that his granddaughter could stay in the United States to accompany them.

"No. We met before. And he is not American, but British. We will all go back to England, sorry grandpa." Finally Ada looked up at Mr. Wong with deep apologies. Ada knew she couldn't stay in the United States forever.

"...Oh, well. This is depressing news. It would be nice if that young man was from here." Mr. Wong knew that Ada had been staying with Leon lately, even though he hadn't seen him Leon.If Leon was an American, Mr. Wong would use all his strength to lobby Ada to stay in the United States. "When will you go back? I think you can stay for a while. America is bigger than England, you can go out for a walk. Well... you can also call your British friend."

"I've been here for 4 months." Obviously, this journey is much longer than expected, but Ada still likes America very much.But she has been unable to open her mouth to tell her grandparents that she has been working hard at home because of her grandfather's entrustment at the end of her life.It is estimated that grandpa and grandma thought it was a bunch of bullshit. "Don't talk about me, if something happens at Helena's house, she won't be able to find out right away, go back right away..."

"Oh! I almost forgot what you said here." Mrs. Wong seemed to remember something, and suddenly called out, "Ada, do you know? Now the Germans are starting to move around. If you go back, we will be very worried about you... .”

"Don't worry, grandma. Our family is noble after all. No one will do anything to us." Seeing grandma's disturbed appearance, Ada couldn't help stretching out her hand to comfort grandma.

"I hope there will be some accidents then..."

"Of course not." Ada smiled at Mrs. Wong.

"By the way, Ada, there is a business party the night after tomorrow. You have to attend that night." Mr. Wong ordered.

"Are you joking, grandpa? You know I don't like that kind of occasion." Ada expressed slight dissatisfaction.

"Just take it as an experience. Let's experience an American party. Go and have fun." Mr. Wong's fundamental purpose is actually to hope that Ada can integrate into this place, hoping that she will like it here and will not go back to England.

"What's the fun in this? Isn't it just to laugh at a bunch of people you don't know?" Ada smiled disdainfully.

"Ada, can you just go for a while? You just need to show your face. If you are really not interested, you can tell us that you leave early, okay?" Mrs. Wong persuaded Ada patiently.

Facing the kind grandmother, Ada couldn't bear to refuse, so she smiled at Mrs. Wong and nodded in agreement with their request.

Mrs. Wong likes to wear cheongsam very much. She believes that only cheongsam can well interpret the beauty of oriental women.So before the party, Mrs. Wong took out a set of cheongsams from her youth.It was a silk cheongsam with a small stand-up collar, a diagonal front and two buttons.Ceramic white background, printed with a few red flowers, a few green leaves, and many hand-crafted dark flowers. Mrs. Wong told Ada that it was made by a well-known tailor in Jiangnan when she was still in China.When Ada changed into it, Mrs. Wong couldn't help being surprised and said that the clothes were made for Ada instead, they fit perfectly and were flawless.With simple and generous makeup, Mrs. Wong loves this granddaughter even more, because Ada's beauty is something she has never seen before.

Occasionally, oriental faces appear at high society evenings, which has become commonplace.But when Ada stepped into the venue, it seemed that this law was broken.She has a mysterious, noble, elegant manner and decent conversation that not all oriental women possess.Many guests looked at her with surprised eyes, and even many men came to strike up a conversation.Because many people here don't know that this woman with an oriental face was born in a British noble family.

Facing this scene of hesitant chasing stars and moons all of a sudden, Ada couldn't help but feel a big headache.In the aristocratic circles they are relatively familiar with, there may be a silent consensus among everyone that they will not provoke Ada Redfield if they have nothing to do. They all agree that there will always be only people she likes, and no matter how intense the pursuit is, it will have no effect.

"Oh, this beautiful lady." A young-looking blond man in front of Ada took Ada's left hand and kissed it on the back, "Nice to meet you, my name is Aaron Alexa."

"Hmph, hello..." Ada smiled disdainfully at the other party, "Ada Redfield."

"By the way, why haven't I seen you here before?" Presumably the young Mr. Alexa was deeply attracted by Ada's beauty.

"Oh... well... I'm coming with my grandparents." Ada said perfunctorily.

"Is it Mr. Wong's granddaughter? Oh! I heard that his cigarette business in Los Angeles is doing well now!" Mr. Alexa tried to use an exaggerated tone, looking like he wanted to flatter.

"Yes, I'm his granddaughter. But I don't know much about his business either." As he spoke, Ada picked up a glass of cocktail handed over by the male waiter. "Thanks."

"Where did Miss Redfield stay before? I don't seem to have seen you. Did you go to school?" Mr. Alexa still asked enthusiastically.

"Study?" Ada frowned, "No, this is my first time in America. My home is in England."

"Oh, that's right. I just wondered why you have a British accent, Miss Redfield."

"Really? By the way, I remembered that I was looking for my grandparents. I'm sorry. I may have to excuse me for a while." Ada smiled at Mr. Alexa, turned her head and walked away.Someone like Alexa was the eighth she'd met, and now she didn't even bother to roll her eyes.

"Hey, hey...Miss Redfield..." However, Mr. Alexa insisted on Ada, and was still chasing after Ada, "Hey, Miss Redfield...do you have time?"

"I'm sorry, I don't think she has time!" Suddenly, Leon appeared from nowhere, grabbed Ada's shoulders and said to Mr. Alexa fiercely.

"Le, Leon? Why are you here?" Ada turned to look at Leon, full of doubts and asked him.

"I just arrived not long ago..." Leon replied to Ada and then looked at Mr. Alexa, "We have to go somewhere else, if you don't mind we'll excuse you."

Leon walked Ada through the crowd to an empty balcony at the far end.In December, the weather in the United States is quite cold, and Ada's woolen shawl is still in the hands of her grandmother, and now she is exposing her arms in the temperature of 12-1 degrees outside.It seems that this place of solitude is not very good.

"Sorry, Ada..." Leon immediately took off his suit jacket and put it on carefully for Ada.

"Thank you." Although it was only a coat, Ada already felt better.

"Shall we go in? It's still cold outside." Leon smiled awkwardly, and his hand touched Ada's hand inadvertently.

Ada remained silent, smiled slightly at Leon, and then used the
