The escape plan came to nothing, and Lestrade followed Athena almost every step of the way. Those who didn't know it thought he had hired a bodyguard.

However, Mike's intention in sending the telegram at the beginning was to ask Lestrade to be his bodyguard!Athena had no choice but to accept the reality, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go back to London. Thinking about it carefully, even if she escaped, she would not be able to escape for long, and sooner or later she would be caught by Brother Mai.

It's impossible to be a fugitive for the rest of your life!

Since I can't escape, I can only face it. Anyway, I have all the memories and the whole body of the original body, even if it is a little abnormal... After staying in Paris alone for two years, there are some changes!

She had three days and two nights from the time she got on the ship. During these three days and two nights, she had to fully recall her memory and fill in her flaws and loopholes as a traverser with her original life habits and movement details.

"Miss, we're in the room!"

Athena was startled by Catherine who jumped out of nowhere, and she frowned slightly when she realized that Lestrade had disappeared.

"What about others?"

Carrying the suitcase, Catherine said, "Who? Oh! Mr. Lestrade has returned to his cabin! He is in the second-class cabin! Didn't I tell you just now? What are you thinking?"

Athena frowned and asked: "Second class? Isn't he staying with us? That's too... no, no! They are bodyguards anyway, and Catherine is going to ask if there are still tickets for first class. If you have one, buy one and send it to him, if something happens to the second-class cabin so far away, it will be too late to find him!"

"Didn't you say before that you didn't want to see him? You said he was annoying you to death all the time..." Catherine curled her lips, she couldn't figure out why her young lady changed her mind so quickly.

Athena took his box and said: "Can it be the same? Anyway, he can't run away now, so he doesn't need to be a bodyguard for nothing. Since he is a bodyguard, he has to live on the first floor. If he lives so far away, how can he find urgent matters?" Him? Go! Go!"

Speaking of which, Athena directly pushed Catherine out, and kept urging her to go out as soon as possible.It wasn't until Catherine went out that Athena threw the box in her hand aside and lay down on the soft bed alone, and continued to follow the original Athena's living habits.

In fact, generally speaking, she is quite similar to the original body, eating, drinking and having fun is basically the first big thing in life.They are the carefree rich second generation, and they are also majors in painting.

It's lucky to have roughly the same interests, but the success of the decisive victory lies in the details after all.For example, how many pieces of sugar do you need to put in coffee, for example, do you like to eat eggs from the small end or the large end... These are undoubtedly a huge project for Athena.

Then, as a younger sister, as a daughter, all the past experiences with the Holmes family, including where to go on vacation every summer and what interesting things happened, may become Sherlock's suspicion.

A sudden knock on the door brought Athena's thoughts back to reality, Catherine slowly opened the door and only shouted: "Miss..."

"How did you come back so soon? Has the ticket been sent to Lestrade? What room does he live in? Where is it? Is it near us?"

Catherine frowned, and reluctantly said: "Still talking! Mr. Inspector didn't accept the first-class ticket at all. You don't know how annoying Mr. Inspector's subordinates are, and they dare not How about it, but they are laughing at him behind the scenes, especially that little police detective with sly eyebrows and mouse eyes... and privately laughing at Mr. Inspector as the little boy you have taken a fancy to..."

Athena straightened up and looked at Catherine puzzled.

do not accept?Why not?In the past, when she gave sports cars and famous watches to boys, she never refused to accept them. Even if there were excuses, most of them were just false excuses!

Is it possible that to give a gift, you have to visit the thatched cottage several times?I am not asking for help!

……

Although it is considered as a bodyguard!But she who has always been admired by the stars will not have this self-reflection consciousness.

Both food and accommodation in the first-class cabin are much better than the crowded second-class cabin, and he is not happy to pay for it himself.False Taoism, true hypocrisy!

When Athena thought of this, she became angry, so she got up and snatched the ticket from Catherine's hand, and said, "He doesn't want to be just right, we both live in one room!"

Speaking of Athena picking up her suitcase and going out, Catherine hurriedly wanted to follow, but Athena just turned her head and said: "You live here! We can't spend this ticket for nothing. He can't stay, Why do we have to squeeze the two of us into the same room? Today you are Miss Holmes! Live in peace of mind!"

After finishing speaking, Athena closed the door without further words. She looked down at the ticket in her hand and was just about to take a closer look at the location of the room on the ticket. Is this the lodgings of Miss Holmes?"

Athena raised her eyes slightly and saw the man's upper body, so she knew that he was the waiter in the cabin. There was a towel and a wine list on his wrist. He was just there to sell wine. After all, people who live in the first class cabin like famous wine For rich people with such spending power, such things are not surprising.

"She's inside!" Athena perfunctory without boredom, then staggered away from the waiter and turned her head towards the innermost direction.

The warm sun rising in the morning, like natural paint, spreads on this endless blue canvas as far as the eye can see.Just two or three strokes of the stars outline the beginning of the most beautiful day in the world on the sea.

The intertwined red and blue are the most matching colors in the world, pure as lovers... touching each other, shining brightly.

Athena stood on the deck wrapped in a shawl, just like the scattered passengers, gazing at the beautiful scenery. When she looked up, she could occasionally see three or two seabirds circling overhead.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The sudden roar of the ship frightened the seabirds away, and she could only watch the little spirit beasts with pure white feathers turn around and fly towards the end of the sea.

They are free souls with wings that can fly and control the direction of their lives.If you meet your spouse, you will fly to the south if you want to fly to the south; if you see the beautiful scenery, you will fly to the north if you want to fly to the north.You don't have to be bound by the rules of the world. Life can be long or short according to your own will.

"Miss Holmes!"

Lestrade stood behind her straight and respectful like a gentleman, with a well-fitting suit and polished leather shoes neat and clean.The sea breeze blew his hair messy, but he still stood there holding his hat, neither moving forward nor retreating.

Athena only turned her head slightly when she heard the voice, her chocolate brown curly long hair brushed all over her face, she stretched out her hand slightly to stroke the hair behind her head.The anger from last night didn't seem to subside, she just said awkwardly: "Aren't you unwilling to walk with us?"

Lestrade stepped forward when she saw her speak, "It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Miss's kindness, and it's not that I'm too hypocritical, but that I have no luck to accept Miss's kindness."

Athena tilted her head, biting a bunch of words but she didn't understand.

Lestrade leaned on the railing and smiled slightly: "You are a lady as bright and flawless as the moon, and a lady as bright and noble as a rose. I will keep a proper distance from you... so that we can live in peace."

But Athena just laughed out of nowhere, leaned forward and looked at his gentle face and said, "That's not what you said when I kissed you that night."

It seemed that as soon as this topic was mentioned, Lestrade became a little nervous. He lowered his head slightly, then turned his head to look at the sea and said, "It was just an accident...wasn't it?"

"I don't think so." Athena leaned closer to him, teasing softly: "That was a good, good kiss."

After hearing such teasing, he turned his head suddenly, but was facing Athena's handsome nose and ruddy lips. The distance between him and her seemed to be so close that he could smell the perfume on her body...it was the smell of flowers!

The sweet fragrance envelops the skin.

He dared not look up into her eyes, the temptation was too deadly for him but just a fun game for her.Lestrade felt like a dog or a cat she raised. He should have been angry and refused, but in the end he was as weak and without fighting spirit as she wished.

"Greg, you like me, don't you?"

His Adam's apple rolled and he raised his head abruptly, looking at her with wary eyes, like a teenager whose mind has been punctured, but then he smiled lightly and said, "Of course! Miss deserves all the love in this world."

Very true, very false.

"This is not true, but I like it." Athena turned her head and leaned on the railing to look at the sparkling sea, and asked again: "Can I ask you something based on your liking?"

"You said."

He took out a cigarette from his vest pocket, lowered his head, picked up a match in his mouth, and slid it slightly. The smell of phosphorous fire was strong for a while, but the strong wind that came with it pinched the burning flame before he could light it. off.

"Damn it!" He cursed in a low voice, only gathered his palms together and lowered his head even harder.

"Can you keep the matter of my attack that night a secret? Don't tell anyone, anyone!" Athena looked at his clumsy appearance and said lightly: "Including my brothers."

"Brothers..." He dropped the dead match.

Athena just nodded and replied: "Yes! Brothers! I also have a brother, you will see him in the future, just promise me not to tell him anything about that night. Just treat it like... yesterday's hot afternoon , how is it your first meeting when you come to my house?"

"Okay!" He agreed without even thinking about it, and he agreed with just one word without asking why.

Seeing his straightforward answer, Athena also laughed.One thing more is worse than one thing less. I still don't know if the events of that night have fooled the man in front of me, let alone the two Sherlock Holmes waiting in London.

She just grabbed Lestrade's wrist and said, "Breakfast on the first-class plane is offered as a reward. You don't have to refuse, right? I don't accept the excuse of being afraid of those bastards from Scotland Yard gossiping, I've always Don't mind what anyone says or anything."

"How can a person be happy when he cares so much about other people's eyes? Can he be happy?"

"By the way... I have to call Catherine, that sleepy girl hasn't woken up yet."

Athena chattered like talking to herself, and only slowed down when she ran in front of the first-class cabin door. Lestrade put on the woolen cap and put on the top of her hair and waited quietly behind her.

"Catherine! Wake up! Catherine!" She knocked on the door very loudly but there was no response. She turned to look at Lestrade and asked, "Could she have gotten up already? Did you see her in the morning?"

Lestrade shook his head, stepped forward and knocked for a while, but no one answered.

"Maybe you have already gone to the restaurant? Let's go to the restaurant to have a look!" Athena turned around and was about to leave, but Lestrade squatted down and looked in through the weak gap between the door panel and the carpet.

Just getting closer to the gap, a familiar smell came to his face, he got up almost immediately and said: "Stand back!"

"What?" Before Athena could react, Lestrade lifted his foot and kicked the door open. He stood at the door in a daze, motionless, just standing where he was.

Poker face……

"What's the matter? Is she in the room?" Athena was about to approach, but at this moment Lestrade suddenly turned his head and pointed at her, and shouted angrily, "Stand there, don't come over!"

He took off the hat on his head, with a pitiful and serious expression on his face, Lestrade said slightly trembling: "She's dead, don't come here, Athena! Don't!"

Lestrade shook his head slowly. This was the first time he called her directly by her name, calling her Athena...but with such an almost pleading expression, I don't know if it was because of guilt or shock.

Athena's body hasn't made any moves yet, but her mind already understands what this bad news means.

Meaning

Her little maid Catherine, after all, failed to see the most beautiful beginning of a day at sea.

And every beginning of every day to come, because her life is over.
