Lady Ada

Chapter 8

, how do you know about my grandparents? "Ada refers to what Leon said just now.

"That? I heard what Miss Claire said." Leon took the food from the waiter, "Thank you."

"Ha," Ada shook her head, "It's the first time I know she's such a gossip."

"No, don't blame her, I asked her." In an instant, Leon seemed to see a strange expression on Ada's face, so he could only add: "She said that she also misses America very much."

"Hmph, I know that." Ada showed a slightly unhappy tone.God, Liz has no idea who's getting close to Leon.

That's right, at that moment Ada couldn't help recalling that Liz had asked his father to hint about his relationship with Leon, and he needed to pay attention.The funny thing is that Ada doesn't have much contact with Leon at all, and Claire has more contact with her. Liz also wants to warn Claire.But Ada thought about it seriously, it was a waste of time to care about naive people like Liz.

After 8 days, Helena finally gradually resolved the symptoms of seasickness.This depends on the care of the doctors and nurses on board.Otherwise, I'm afraid Helena will never want to go back to England after getting off the ship.However, Helena also joked to the doctor that she was given sleeping pills from boarding to disembarkation on the return journey, and she slept all the way back to England.For the sake of health, the doctor refused decisively.Now Helena can serve Ada as before.And what about Ada?Of course, I am happy for Helena's recovery, saying that this is no longer England and does not need the service of servants. Helena can enjoy this holiday together like a friend.

Just when Ada wanted to have a leisurely dinner with Helena, Emma suddenly found Ada.Said to apologize for the not so pleasant dinner last time, and invited her to a very trendy bar on the ship.In desperation, Ada had no choice but to agree to Emma's invitation. Helena parted ways with Ada at night because she was afraid it would make her seasick worse.

The reason why it is called trendy is that this bar is almost visited by people from the middle and lower classes. The whole bar presents a very cheerful, informal, dimly lit, and ambiguous romantic atmosphere with jazz music echoing throughout the venue.Of course, compared with some conservative nobles, they don't like this kind of place very much.But it is still very popular with young nobles.

Ada and Emma ordered two cocktails and drank them at the bar.

"Hey! Ada, look over there! It's Mr. Kennedy." Suddenly Emma spotted Leon diagonally across from them.He was sitting alone at the bar drinking wine. Ada saw that it was whiskey.

"Hmph," Ada smiled softly, "he must be too lonely."

"I heard that your sister seems to be interested in getting engaged to Mr. Kennedy?"

"Engagement? It doesn't seem to be at this stage yet...but who knows how things will develop." Ada shrugged indifferently.

"You don't know anything about your family?" Emma waved to the bartender, signaling for another glass of wine. "Mr. Kennedy's family seems to be in a good position. His father, the Duke of Henley, is mining diamonds or gold in Africa? There are many noble girls in London who are interested in him." Now more and more nobles are squandering, and they have to sell their land and property.In the face of the tide of capitalism, the Duke of Henley is a successful example of a transformation from an aristocrat to a businessman.

"It seems that he should have a good life in London's social circle. Isn't it?" Ada chuckled again, "He has an apartment in London, and he must have a good development there."

"Apartment? How do you know? We all thought he lived in that famous hotel near the Thames, which seems to be owned by his aunt." Soon the bartender brought a glass of cheese cocktail to Emma.

"He does have a flat in London. Oh! Well, maybe sell it now and live in his aunt's hotel? But I have to say I don't really like discussing other people's business." At home Ada never participates in the after-dinner chat , so she hardly knew about the situation at Leon's house, and to be precise, she was not interested in these things.

"...Okay." Emma felt that Ada was not very interested in this topic.When they were about to change the subject, they found that a troublesome person had been sitting in the suitcase behind them, and that was Earl Minarovich who had been nagging Ada a few days ago.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! It turns out that our Chinese beauty is here tonight too! Good evening, Miss Ada." Earl Minarovich raised his voice, his cheeks were slightly red, and he lay on the sofa as if paralyzed, and shouted to Ada who was opposite .It caused many people to look at Ada.

"Oh! God! Why is he here!" Emma exclaimed dissatisfied.

"Haha," Ada shook her head helplessly, "It seems that our nightlife is going to end early?"

"...No. Ada, I'm really sorry. Well, let's go." Saying this, Emma took out a note from her purse and handed it to the bartender.

"What? Are the two ladies over there leaving? Haha!" Earl Minarovich was still yelling, "Hey! Everyone please come over to our side!"

Ada immediately looked at the box with disdain. There were four other people sitting in the box beside Earl Minarovich, and they seemed almost drunk.The two women lay in Count Minarovich's arms.The other two men were also screaming drunk, one was still throwing up, he even vomited his vomit into the cup. Ada couldn't help shaking her head, it was really embarrassing.

However, at this moment, Ada saw Leon walking towards Earl Minarovich with a wine glass.The people in the box were shocked when they saw Leon.But he was soon invited by Count Minarovich to sit down and drink together. Leon first talked to Count Minarovich for a while.Then he picked up the cup full of vomit and handed it to Earl Minarovich without hesitation, and toasted Earl Minarovich as if nothing had happened!Earl Minarovich, who was almost unconscious, thought that the glass was wine, and drank up the vomit in one go!Seeing this, Ada and Emma couldn't help laughing.The two beauties beside Earl Minarovich hadn't reacted yet and silently watched this move, too frightened to make a sound.

"It's a pleasure drinking with you. Let's drink together again if we have a chance!" Leon picked up the empty wine glass in his hand and left the box, winking at Ada before leaving.

"Hey! Ada, isn't Mr. Kennedy so funny?" Emma whispered in Ada's ear, still smiling.She was still looking at Count Minarovich's "enjoying" face.

"Ha, who knows." Ada also smiled and whispered in Emma's ear.

After separating from Emma, ​​Ada intends to go to the deck to have a good time and then go back to the room.Because today seems like an interesting evening.She came to the bow and looked out to sea.The bright moonlight sprinkled on the sea, and the endless ocean was shining brightly.There are also reflections of the stars in the sky.The tanker continued to move forward, and the sea breeze with the smell of sea water blew on Ada's face. In an instant, she felt sober from the wine just now!She took a deep breath, grasped the railing tightly with both hands, and only felt how small she was when facing the vast sea!If you accidentally take a wrong step, it will swallow itself completely, leaving nothing behind.

"Hey!" A voice suddenly came from behind Ada.

And that voice immediately pulled Ada's thoughts back.She turned her head to see that there was no one there except Leon, who was sitting on the bench. Ada smiled at him, and came to the seat next to him to do it.

"You really shouldn't go to that kind of bar. Ha, not for you." Leon smiled at Ada, showing a real smile.

"...Then what bar should I go to?" Facing Leon's stare, Ada didn't flinch, she also stared at him deeply.She thought Leon's eyes were beautiful, with a sincerity she wouldn't have. "Don't overestimate me, I'm just an ordinary person."

"I have to say that you really don't look like your sister..." Leon still looked at Ada, her short hair was blowing beautifully with the sea breeze.

"We are different individuals." Finally, Ada ended looking at Leon first.She looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, bright and clear.

"No, I think you are different from many girls. You are independent and have opinions. By the way, you are also very capable. I know you have always made decisions for your village. I admire such women."

"Oh, then should I thank you for your appreciation?" Ada snorted and smiled, "Actually, it's nothing special, I'm just doing my job in the eyes. Isn't it?"

Leon chuckled and didn't answer Ada.Gradually he got up and walked to the bow, at this moment he also began to look at the endless sea.thinking about something...

"Thank you just now." Before he knew it, Ada also came to Leon's side.In the past, Ada never took Leon seriously, thinking that he was just a passer-by, but today he has a different view of him.

"...No. If you can shut him up
