Lady Ada

Chapter 34

In her heart, she knows better than anyone else.However, as soon as she thought that the creepy prophecy might hurt Leon, she had to disguise herself as if she was determined to draw a line with Leon. "No...Leon..." Ada turned her head to look away again. "We can't get married..."

"Oh! God, you are here again! We even have children! Why are you still talking about this!" Finally, Leon roared at Ada angrily like an eruption, scaring the servants who were in the distance to leave immediately. Room. "Don't you want Charlie to live a life without a father? Didn't you promise me to marry me?" Then Leon took a deep breath, and he began to make a series of accusations against Ada, "You liar! You just Are you so selfish? And you are depriving me of my responsibilities as a husband, as a father!"

After hearing Leon's accusation, Ada gasped, her eyes widened, she didn't expect that she would bear some inexplicable stains again!Then she pushed Leon away hard, and left the living room without looking back.

"Where are you going!" Leon asked Ada after chasing after her.

"Go back to the guest room. I think it's getting late, everyone needs to rest." Ada turned to Leon and said, she clenched her teeth to make herself look very strong.

"I said, you want to come to my room!" After speaking, Leon ruthlessly dragged Ada away, pulling her to his room with almost all his strength.

Ada didn't say a word in the room, she sat on the sofa with her back to Leon.She thought the matter was under her control, but she didn't expect that Leon was unwilling to marry Liz, and Earl Leemans even announced Charlie's affairs.

"...Ada." Suddenly Leon sat on the sofa next to Ada, facing Ada's back, he made a slightly trembling voice. Leon instantly felt that his behavior just now was completely different from his usual calm self.Just like today's behavior.He should think twice.Let alone blame Ada like losing his mind. "I'm sorry..."

"No...Leon. I should be the one to say sorry..." Ada began, "A prophecy, a damn prophecy."

"prophecy?!"

"Yes. Hmph, I know you must find it ridiculous." Ada shook her head feebly, "That prophecy said that my husband would die unexpectedly."

"What?! Died unexpectedly?" Leon was very surprised. He straightened Ada and made her face him. This time Ada did not resist. "It's the first time I've heard that you believe such things." Leon said coldly.

"Yes. I didn't believe it at first either. But all the facts show that I have to believe it." Ada avoided Leon's gaze and looked at the gorgeous ceiling, "John... died..."

"...God." Leon stared at Ada with wide eyes in disbelief.

"Leon, all my actions are because of this terrible prophecy. I can't let you die because of me." Ada still didn't look at Leon, and continued: "I can't. Yes, you are right. I am too selfish Now, if it wasn't for me, John wouldn't be dead, Charlie wouldn't be without a father. And you, I know my attitude hurt you."

"No, no, no Ada." Leon laughed to himself, "I don't understand. Then you mean you don't want me to die and marry John Harding?! You don't care even if I marry Miss Liz?!"

"Yes. I can't let you take this risk. Look, John isn't..." Ada paused, and finally turned her gaze back to Leon, and said, "So I can't marry you. Leon, whether you will or not Think it's ridiculous, but I'm not doing it because I don't love you, because I love you, I can't let you die."

Leon sneered, "You mean you don't want to marry me anyway? Just because of this ridiculous prophecy that we will never be together?"

"I think so." Ada said affirmatively, her eyes showed firmness.

Leon kept shaking his head, the corners of his mouth twitching.It didn't feel like something he wanted to hear.But Ada's resolute attitude, he can't change anything at all!

1921.10

It's been exactly one year since Leon and Liz broke off their engagement.This is a year in which everyone lives a life of self-control.Occasionally Helena would take Charlie to London at Leon's behest so that the two could meet.Despite this, Leon's relationship with Charlie has not progressed much.After all, the time spent together is too short.

Had a nice day this morning. Ada looked out the window at a large green grass field.The big tree is dark green, and there are some red and yellow leaves for embellishment.The sky is as blue as an ocean, stretching as far as the eye can see.There are many fruit trees in the garden closer to the manor, all bearing abundant fruits.Everything looks so harmonious.Ada couldn't help showing a joyful smile from the bottom of her heart. Ada picked up her packed luggage and prepared to go downstairs. After breakfast, she planned to go to Southampton Port to board a ship bound for America.

The Pearl is the ship that Ada took this time.It happened that its route to the United States was the same as that of the Titanic, starting from Southampton and then berthing at Cherbourg, France.And now the Pearl is in Queenstown, Ireland, for her last boarding.After that, the ship slowly sailed into the sea and arrived in New York, USA through the Atlantic Ocean.

The red sun slowly rose from the sky, and instantly dyed the sea red, which was extraordinarily gorgeous and eye-catching.Another day at sea.Since she didn't bring Henry with her, Ada basically takes care of herself now.She simply changed into a delicate purple dress, and after arranging her makeup in front of the dressing table, she read a book in the room.She left the room until noon to go to the restaurant for dinner.

Today's restaurant is much more lively than yesterday.Because many people came up in Ireland yesterday, including many rich people.So Ada, who didn't want to socialize for the time being, quickly finished her lunch and left the restaurant to the deck at the bow.Very well, there is no one here at noon. Ada found a bench, sat down and opened the book in his hand to read.

"Hey, I, uh...can I sit here?" A voice rang out overhead.

When Ada looked up, it turned out to be Leon? ! "Oh! Haha, yes." Could it be that he knew his itinerary and followed him?

"Where did you get on the boat?" Leon sat down and smiled at Ada.

"Southampton, of course." Ada smiled and shook her head. Now they will look like ordinary friends. "Don't tell me you followed me on purpose?"

"Of course not," Leon shrugged nonchalantly, "I boarded the ship in France. I just happened to be going to America for some business. I've been staying in France for the last two months."

"Oh, really?" Ada showed a look of disbelief. "I'm sorry, Leon. I think it's better for us not to stay together." Saying that, Ada closed her book, ready to leave.They haven't seen each other in the last year, almost always Ada deliberately avoiding Leon.

"Hmph," Leon shook his head helplessly, "Don't we even have the chance to be ordinary friends?"

normal friend?No, Ada knew Leon would not be willing to do so.But this sentence irritated Ada's heart severely, and she knew that she rejected Leon too much. "Of course." Ada sat up again with a guilty conscience. "By the way, why did you go to America?" Ada still couldn't believe that she met Leon by chance this time.

"Our jewelry business has gradually recovered. Didn't I tell you before that we planned to open up the US market? It was put on hold because of the war. Now Dad thinks that the opportunity to continue to open up the US market has come."

"I see." Ada said lightly, she was not interested in Leon's family business at all.

"By the way, I met Charlie before I went to France. Oh, he has learned a lot recently." Speaking of Charlie, Leon was always a little excited.Leon would think Charlie was a godsend anyway.

"Haha," Ada smiled softly, "Of course. Dad now gives up hunting every afternoon to teach Charlie. The two dogs in the family can only run around in the garden by themselves, what a pity for them. But, uh... .Have to say he looks so much like you, I'm kind of jealous."

"Because I'm his father. Why didn't you take him with you when you went to America this time?" Leon asked.

"No, this time I just went to see it myself. I'm sorry, Leon. I have something to tell you, that is, I plan to go to the United States with Charlie to settle down." Ada knew that this would mean that it would be more difficult for Leon to see Charlie.

"Hmm..." Leon tilted his head and thought for a while, then said, "Why do you have such a plan?"

"It's been a long time ago. When you disappeared, I thought you were dead. It feels like there is nothing to miss in England." Ada turned her head and looked at the sea.
