Lady Ada

Ena looked helpless, she squinted and looked at Ada with a begging expression.

"Why do you think so?" Ada smiled, "Maybe John is also good...I know some people who only established relationships after marriage. For example, my uncle, didn't he live a good life with his wife? Plus , I will never forgive myself if I killed Leon because of me."

"Then you would rather Mr. Harding die?! If so, wouldn't you become a widow?!"

"People are selfish animals, and I'm no exception." Ada sneered, "This is just a way to save Leon's life and save the Redfield family. If John is safe, I don't owe him anything , isn’t it?” Ada paused and said, “Helena, will you help me?”

Helena licked her lips, eyes full of determination, "Yes, even for Master Charlie."

"Hmph, good..."

"Miss Liz, your afternoon tea has been delivered." A maid put a tray full of exquisite refreshments on the table in front of Liz.By the bright and refreshing lake, Liz is enjoying the afternoon leisurely.

"Is this chocolate with truffles?" Liz asked, picking up a chocolate.

"Yes, Miss Liz." The maid nodded respectfully.

"Good afternoon, Liz." Ada's voice came from a distance, and she walked slowly towards the lake holding a parasol. Helena has changed her into a comfortable red cotton dress.

"Oh! Ada?!" Liz turned her head and smiled, "You're back? Oh! I forgot, you're back today. By the way, you don't mind if I didn't go to greet you, do you?"

"Of course I don't mind, dear." Ada came to a chair and sat down. "You can leave first, Penelope," Ada said to the maid.

"Yes, Miss Ada." The maid nodded and picked up the empty tray and left.

"You knew about my relationship with Leon early on, right?" Ada went straight to the point.

"...Hmm." Liz just picked up a macaron and chewed it in his mouth, "Know it's been a while. Let me think about it...it was that dad's birthday party. That's right!" "Crack!" Suddenly Liz threw the half-bitten macaron on the table, and the pink macaron immediately broke into pieces, "He even sneaked into your room overnight!"

"Hmph. Then you must be sad?" Ada sneered, "I can tell you, no matter what you do, the person he loves the most is me."

"Oh, really? I don't think so." Liz also sneered, "His memory only stays at the time when he just came back from studying in the United States. He doesn't even know that there is a war. The point is that he has already forgotten you. Clean up." Liz picked up another macaron from the plate, "The doctor said that Leon's brain was severely damaged, and he suffered from selective amnesia. The doctor also said that patients with selective amnesia may be because this memory scares him Or hate. Hmph," Liz shook her head, "if he really loves you so much, how could he be willing to forget this memory? So don't be too arrogant, Ada. Leon just finds short-term pleasure in you That's all."

"Short pleasure..." Ada said coldly: "Huh... It's a pity that you haven't been able to interest him in such a long time, have you?" After speaking, Ada also picked up a yellow one from the plate Macaron, Ada guesses it's lemon flavored.He sniffed it and didn't eat it. He raised his head and sneered at Liz, "I can give you some advice. If you want to please Leon, you might as well ask me for advice. I almost know what Leon likes. No, it's everything about him. The books he likes to read, The food he likes, the music he likes, the places he likes to go, even the things he does in bed." Ada apparently raised his tone a few decibels in the last sentence.

"...You, you...you..." Liz was so annoyed by Ada's words that she couldn't answer. She stared at Ada fiercely, and she could see from her sharp eyes that she seemed to throw Ada at him.

"...Oh. Don't be afraid, I think I'm a good teacher." Ada shrugged with a smile, "So Liz, you really should work hard, don't think that Leon can be at your mercy for the rest of his life because of his amnesia. Otherwise, if he regains his memory, I'm afraid he will stalk me. From what I know about him, he thinks he can do it. Since we are a family, I didn't expect you to end up in such a bad way .”

"Don't worry! I guess I'll have given birth to a boy and a girl for Leon by then, so I can rest easy. It's you," Liz forcefully squeezed out a sneer, trying to look imposing, "It's you who has to serve Leon well. Your handicapped future husband!"

Ada gasped for a moment, yes, John lost his left hand because of the war.That's why he's coming back now.It is estimated that John's parents hope to quickly find a wife who can accept him and has status.The woman in the Redfield family who is facing debt problems is a perfect candidate, plus Ada knows that John has always been interested in her. "Thank you for the reminder. But I hope you know clearly that amnesia is also a defect." After speaking, Ada put the macaron back on the plate, picked up the parasol and left without looking back.

In many cases, the marriage of noble children cannot be decided by individuals.Especially the daughter is simply the best bargaining chip to consolidate the family power.Marriage always contains politics, interests, ranks, various intrigues, etc. These are important things that are closely related to the families of both parties.It is almost impossible for a woman to marry a man whose status is much lower than her own, and she will definitely encounter strong opposition from her parents. Of course, this situation will still occur, and usually they will choose to elope.The main reason is that very few aristocratic women will give up their luxurious life.And some high-status men choose their wives based on whether their wives can have boys.Although the situation has improved a lot now, the status of women is still much lower than that of men.

Marrying Ada and John can share the huge newspaper property established by the Harding family, which is getting better and better from the present point of view.And when Liz marries Leon, she can get the title of Duchess even more, because Leon's brother is dead, and Leon will inherit their property.Either way, it's a surefire business for the Redfield family.And Ada has been listed as the first choice for the Countess' heir, so she must make the most contribution for the Redfield family.

Ada and John's wedding is scheduled for January.Relatives and friends of both sides came to a certain cathedral in London one after another.London, which has already had a heavy snowfall, is covered with a layer of silver.Thick snow accumulated on the trees and on the roofs. Fortunately, the snow on the sidewalks and driveways has been cleared so that pedestrians and cars can move unimpeded.Although it was still snowing like goose feathers outside and gusts of cold wind blew from time to time, it definitely did not affect the warm atmosphere present.Before the wedding, relatives and friends chatted happily in twos and threes, especially relative to some relatives and friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

The whole atmosphere was very uncomfortable for Leon, because he lost his memory and he didn't know who he knew and who he didn't know. Although Liz who was on the side was very enthusiastic about introducing their former friends to him, it was a pity that he had no memory of them.It's ridiculous that some people came here to check on Leon's amnesia. Leon once asked Liz many things about his past. At this time, Liz always avoided them one by one, and suggested him to accept new things with a smile. He chose to forget the past because it was a bad thing, and the most important choice is to look to the future.Although Leon thinks it makes sense, he always feels that he has forgotten something important.I don't know who my former friends in London are, and I don't know if they are still on the battlefield.Leon didn't like this feeling of insecurity.Gradually, he became taciturn and slightly melancholic, and he was good at hiding his true emotions.Apparently Leon has become more composed than before.

Ada Redfield, for some reason Leon always felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart every time he heard her name.He still remembered that one day in the hospital when she came to his ward, when Ada looked at him expectantly, he could feel nervous.But Leon couldn't tell her how he felt because at the time he didn't know what it meant.

Leon looked at Liz who was sitting next to him, she showed him a beautiful smile, this smile can warm many people's hearts, but Leon can't, it always looks a little twisted.Many people said that they were together before, and it is obvious that other people's words are relatively authoritative in the face of amnesia.But he couldn't feel any affection with Liz.However, since his elder brother is dead, and the burden of the family's future falls on him, and Liz is also a noblewoman, isn't marrying Liz just a good family right?Although he knew that he was going to marry Liz, he hardly felt anything, but facing the smiling faces of his hopeful parents, he really couldn't think of any reason to refuse.

the wedding is about to begin
