Lady Ada

The side began to pour tea for him. "Mr. Messer probably went to the village to buy seeds. Fortunately, he left some hot water before he left, otherwise he would have to go to the kitchen to get them."

"Thank you." He took the teacup handed over by Ada, and there was a burst of black tea aroma in it.Then the two of them sat on the bench and enjoyed afternoon tea.Soon Leon grabbed Ada's hand tightly, and after last night's ups and downs, he strengthened their relationship. "Ada...I..." Leon looked at Ada affectionately.

"Hey! Excuse me! Is that Miss Ada?" Suddenly the romantic atmosphere of the two was interrupted by a person behind them.

Ada quickly broke free from the hand held by Leon, and turned to look at the person coming. Ada frowned slightly, she didn't know this person.How did he come here? "I am... who are you?"

"My name is Jeffery Shawn. I was invited by Ms. Liz to be a reporter." Jeffery Shawn seemed to be a very young man with freckles on his face and short blond hair.He smiled shyly at Ada.

"Reporter?" Ada was even more confused, why did Liz invite a reporter. "What are you doing at my house?"

"Ah, didn't Miss Liz tell you?" Jeffery Shawn smiled awkwardly, "She invited me to report on Earl Leemans' party last night. I also took photos for many guests."

Ada immediately recalled what happened last night, as if there really was such a person.She rolled her eyes and yelled, what the hell is Liz doing! "Hmmm... did you come to see me for something?"

"Ah! That's it! I think we still need to inform you." Jeffery Shawn raised his voice enthusiastically, "One of the reports this time is going to report Miss Ada, you and Mr. John Harding! Ah, I have to say that you really match each other! Then According to your development, I wonder if you will get engaged in the future?"

"What? What did you say?" Ada and Leon asked loudly almost at the same time.They all looked at Jeffery Shawn very puzzled. "Who told you about me and John?" Ada asked Jeffery Shawn first.

"Of course it's Ms. Liz. Could it be a misunderstanding?" Seeing Ada's surprised expression, Jeffery Shawn seemed to feel that something was wrong, "Who is this? Seems a bit kind" Jeffery Shawn looked at Leon.

"Leon Kennedy." Leon reported to Jeffery Shawn slightly angrily, obviously he was very upset when he heard that Ada and John were engaged.

"Oh, I remembered, it's the son of the Duke of Henley!" Jeffery Shawn suddenly realized and exclaimed.

Ada sighed helplessly, "No matter what, Mr. Shawn. There must be some misunderstanding. John and I are just friends, and it will not develop into an engagement like you just said." However, Ada suddenly raised her tone, saying Jeffery Shawn snapped: "So, I hope you don't report my news. I don't think anyone wants to read my news. Right?"

"Haha," Jeffery Shawn immediately laughed a few times, he was deeply aware of Ada's stern and sharp eyes, "I, I, I see. Sorry to bother you!" Jeffery Shawn quickly took off his hat and looked at Ada and Leon bid farewell.

Facing the scene just now, Ada gave Leon a wry smile helplessly, and Leon responded with a wry smile.They sat down on the bench again.

"By the way, Ada, I want to go back to what I just wanted to tell you. Actually, the purpose of my visit this time is to ask your opinion, if, if we get engaged..." No matter what, Leon could feel that John Proposing to Ada is a matter of time, so why didn't I propose to Ada first.

"...Leon. I, I don't want you to be intimidated by what happened just now. I won't be engaged to John. No." Ada paused, "...I just think it's a little premature for me ..."

"No, Ada. You know, as far as our relationship is concerned, I think it's okay..." They were already husband and wife, and the name of husband and wife Leon thought it was only a matter of time.At the very least, he must tell others that Ada is his fiancée, and others should not have any unreasonable thoughts about her.

"Oh, Leon... Well, I think this matter can be shelved for a while, right? I'm very satisfied with our status quo. You know, even though I said that, I still value our relationship." Ada said similarly comforting Leon also reached out and put a hand on his.

"Ada, I never questioned you. I just, just wanted to be together," said Leon with a wry smile.He suddenly seemed to understand that Ada is not the kind of person who likes to live leisurely every day, she is always worried about the affairs of the village, just like this morning, Ada rushed to the village after breakfast.

"It's, I'm afraid it's a bit... Well, it might be okay if you don't mind anything in New York. I have to watch the village when I get back." Ada gradually rubbed Leon's hand, "Give me some time...Okay ?"

"Okay..." Leon couldn't help but kiss Ada's lips tenderly again.

In this beautiful secret garden, the love between the two gradually heated up again.Although the relationship cannot be confirmed yet, the hearts that love each other deeply have become firmer.

In July, the war finally started! Ada's life, the lives of the people in the manor, and the lives of the villagers in the two villages have undergone earth-shaking changes. Chris bravely went to enlist in the army, and Jill, who has always had medical knowledge, followed Chris resolutely.That night Ada had forgotten the countess's mournful cry.Following the howling, the entire Roderick Manor and the village seemed to be covered in haze, which could not go away.Until Claire also wanted to enlist as a medical female soldier, the Countess almost collapsed and suffered from severe depression.But the children and Earl Leemans agreed that it is their duty to contribute to the country. The earl even blamed the countess for not being able to see women, and he should be proud of his son, daughter, and daughter-in-law.The Earl also said that if he hadn't failed the medical examination, he would have gone to play.

Ada knew that Leon had also joined the army.She wasn't surprised.With Leon's character, this is all too natural.She knows Leon well enough now that she thinks what Leon needs is her support.During this time, as long as there is an opportunity, I will write to the other party to understand the situation.

One day, Ada received a letter from Leon telling herself that their legion had a few days off, and Leon had arranged a safe village on the British border.Because time is limited, he doesn't want to waste his vacation because of the journey, so he hopes that Ada can come to meet him.Of course Ada accepted his invitation without hesitation.

It took Ada 2 days to finally reach the small village of Dries.During this critical period of the war, the men in the small village of Dries and the two villages in the manor were all conscripted into the army, leaving women and some men who failed the medical examination.Although it is a bit bleak, the beauty is still there, and the people who stay are working hard to support the operation of the village.

The house Leon arranged was actually a property owned by the Kennedy family.It was a small bungalow with 2 floors. Leon doesn't know why there is this house, but he thinks this meeting place is really the best.The house is on the edge of the village, with blue paint on the exterior walls and white fences.The flowers in the yard of the house were also slightly repaired by Leon.Leon had already asked people from the village to help clean the house, after all, it had been vacant for a long time.The villagers knew that Leon was an officer and were happy to serve him.

When Ada arrived, Leon was still repairing the front yard. Although Leon did not have OCD, he hoped to provide Ada with the most comfortable place.I have to say that the moment the two met, they embraced warmly, just like a newly married couple reunited after a long absence.

Now there are no servants, no maids, and life is like being back in New York.During the day, Ada would go to the yard to sit and read a book, and Leon would prepare three meals for her.When he is free, he will sit beside Ada, and the two of them will read a book quietly together.At night they embraced each other and fell asleep. Leon cherishes the days with Ada very much, because he can't imagine his future since joining the war.Although he is not afraid of death, he is afraid of losing Ada.Their relationship was never made public, yes, until now no one of their acquaintances except Helena knew about their relationship. Leon has been silently planning to survive this war, and then propose to Ada openly, which is his belief that he has been working hard to survive on the battlefield.

"Leon...Leon..."

The morning sun shone into the house, and the chirping of birds came from outside the window.Ah, another beautiful day. Ada gradually opened her eyes, and she found that Leon had disappeared.From the corner of the eye
