Unlike Roque's lightheartedness, Ada has been in a restless mood lately.

After scolding William in the Marlborough family's estate, William became very interested in Ada, and then William launched a fierce pursuit of Ida as if he was just beginning to fall in love.

This kind of thing is normal, a beautiful and wealthy widow is still very attractive, some people are always self-inflicted, feeling that as long as they beckon, Ada will take the initiative to send it to the door, and then they will get both, take the money, play enough, and then kick people away.

It is impossible to get married, and a family like William's has high requirements for the other half, unless William voluntarily renounces the right to inherit the title, then it is possible for him to decide his own life.

But how is this possible, for William, the title inheritance is the only bargaining chip he can get, although it is only the second in line, but it is still very attractive, so William has no shortage of women since he was a child, which gives William an illusion that he thinks that everything he has now is obtained by his own ability.

It's been a whole week, every morning, William will have people bring flowers to Ada, and in the afternoon, he will take the initiative to come to Ida and invite her to the opera or dinner.

Ida was so annoyed that the flowers sent were thrown directly into the trash, William came to find Ada, and Ida didn't even see her face, so in the past two days, William has become more and more impatient, and has boasted to the people around him many times that she will definitely make Ida look good.

On this day, William went to Ida again, and received a cold reply: "Sorry Mr. Churchill, our young lady is not here." ”

The person in charge of receiving William is a Frenchman in his 50s, who still speaks French, and thanks to the elite education that William has always received, language is a very important part, otherwise William would not understand.

It can also be seen from the title that this Frenchman named Charles de Gaulle has a lot to do with Ida, and it is estimated that Ida was already by Ida's side before he left the cabinet, otherwise he would not have used the title "Miss".

"De Gaulle, don't go around in circles with me, I know Madame Capet must be there, go and tell Madame Capet that I must see her today, or you will know the consequences." William's patience had reached its limit, and the thought of Ada's cold appearance made William feel hot in his lower abdomen.

Cheap or not!

De Gaulle's poker face did not change in the slightest, he still straightened his waist very politely and bowed slightly, and then turned away without saying a word.

Ida is indeed at home, this is a castle in the suburbs of London, not a "bad debt asset" of the Rand Bank, but Ida paid for it, only for 1,500 pounds.

This price is obviously low compared to the value of the castle, and the reason why it can be won at such a low price is that there are additional conditions, such as the castle cannot be used for commercial purposes, nor can it change its name, let alone change the appearance of the castle.

Owning a castle is a luxury, and the cost of maintaining it is more than £1,500 a year, and for some nobles from a disadvantaged family, the castle is no longer an honor, but a burden.

There are a large number of such castles in the UK mainland, some in remote areas, and the transfer price is very cheap, 1500 pounds is enough to be expensive.

"It's a waste to spend so much money on such an outdated antique!" William has not yet become Ada's guest of the scene, and has already begun to judge Ada's investment.

The castle is indeed an old antique, but in the castle where William can't see it, the antiques are simply piled up.

The "bad debts" of the RAND Bank are not only those expensive properties, but also antiques that have been mortgaged to the bank.

These antiques are not all owned by the aristocracy, the British colonized the world for hundreds of years, and the folk antiques are simply not too much, especially in the past few years, after the end of the Eight-Nation Alliance's war of aggression against China, the antiques from the Qing Dynasty in Britain have skyrocketed, for those jadeite, calligraphy and painting, literary toys and other things in the East, Westerners actually do not recognize, because they don't understand, and they are too lazy to learn, so many people simply send those robbed things to the bank for mortgages, and the Rand Bank has collected nearly 10,000 such collaterals during this time.

Now that these things are in the castle, Ida plans to build a museum in Johannesburg or Nyasaland in the future, and I don't believe that Roque will not come to the door then.

Looking at other people's methods, they are also trying to attract the attention of the opposite sex, which is a world of difference compared to William's stunned youth.

"If he wants to stay, let him stay, leave him alone." Ada sat at the table and concentrated, and Roque would be shocked if he saw Ada now.

Like the old pedants who were engaged in research, Ida now had her hair simply pulled up at the back of her head, a pair of eyes on her nose, a white shirt and black trousers vest, and was holding a porcelain from the Qing Kingdom to take a closer look.

It took a long time for Ida to raise her head with satisfaction, put the porcelain on the shelf, carefully adjust the position, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Only then did Ida realize that de Gaulle had not left.

Ida was immediately dissatisfied.

"Miss, Mr. William is the second in line to the Marlborough family after all, so you can't treat him with such an attitude." De Gaulle was very kind at this moment, very different from the coldness just now, his hair was already completely white, and when he spoke to Ida in such a tone, Ida had no way to refuse.

"Okay, I really don't know what kind of ecstasy he gave you, it's just the second in line to the throne, as long as his brother doesn't die, he will never be able to become the Duke of Marlborough." Ida put down her glasses and rubbed the bridge of her nose a little tiredly.

De Gaulle half-turned and nodded slightly, and several maids immediately swarmed in, one in charge of Ada's hair, one in charge of Ada's clothes, and one in charge of matching jewelry.

When Ida appeared in front of William, it was already a new image, her hair was still tied up seemingly simply, and there was even a strand of hair hanging down casually as if she hadn't noticed, outside the long white floral dress in the Bosnian style, the decorative belt was a hand-woven leather rope, and the overall shape was like the sun next to the Aegean Sea, lazy and charming.

"I'm sorry Mr. William, I've been a bit busy these days." Ada's tone was more lazy, as if she could fall asleep at any time, and listening to William's ears made William's heart itch very much.

Asleep –

Can't think! Can't think!

In fact, it is more appropriate to find an excuse at this time, just say it directly, it seems that William is not very respectful.

But Ida was too lazy to make excuses, William's gaze at Ida made Ida very uncomfortable, and Ida now wanted to lift the corner of her skirt and put a foot on William's face that was very unappetizing to look at.

Like ordinary Brits, William has a lot of freckles on his face, after all, he is in puberty, William still has a few pimples on his face, and his hair uses a little more hair wax, which looks a little greasy, in order to hide the fox smell of his body, William doesn't know how much perfume he used, Ida couldn't help but slander, I am afraid that he poured a whole bottle on his body.

But it still didn't cover it up.

"Madame Capet, you are so pretty, I hope you will give me a chance to treat you to dinner, and then we can enjoy a play by the way, and tonight the Grand Theatre will perform Shakespeare's Macbeth—" William felt dizzy and a little distracted, and spoke upside down.

The plot of "Macbeth" is not very suitable for couples to watch together, and "Hamlet", "Othello", and "King Lear" are recognized as William Shakespeare's "four tragedies".

"I'm sorry Mr. William, I'm afraid my son won't allow it-" Ida refused directly, not even in the mood to observe William's reaction.

For a moment, William was a little disappointed, but considering Ada's age, it was normal to have children, and then William began to be ecstatic again, and previous experience told William that it was better to have children-

Don't think crookedly, if you have children, William can play with Ada's children, instead of those messy people with nothing less.

"Your son must be very reasonable." William tried to start with the child.

Ida thought for a moment and simply motioned to de Gaulle to call Arthur over.

Arthur, who is almost two years old, is already able to run around the floor, no longer satisfied with the toys in the room, and more and more likes to get out of Ada's control and yearn for the world outside the room, which makes Ida happy and worried.

There is a "strong woman" mother, Arthur's mood is estimated to be very bad, Ida can't take Arthur with him at any time because she has to work, so Arthur cherishes the opportunity to be with Ada, jumps over and hugs Ada's thighs directly, and then looks back at William.

"Mom, this person's body stinks!"

Fortunately, Arthur said this in Chinese.

Aidado was clever and warned Arthur from the moment Arthur could speak that if he wanted to express his dissatisfaction with someone, he must say it with a smile in Chinese, and few people in Europe at this time knew Chinese.

With such a mother, Arthur's future is worth looking forward to.

"What language is he? African? William was very curious, a little doll with white skin, black hair and blue eyes, with a sly smile on her face, she simply loved to death.

"Almost, this kid has a lot of language talent." Ida can't help but be proud when she mentions Arthur, some children can't speak at the age of two, Arthur can communicate with people normally when he is more than a year old, sometimes English, French, and Chinese are mixed, English and French are easy to speak, Ida doesn't think it's too difficult, Chinese is too difficult for Arthur.

However, Arthur worked very hard, and every time he saw Roque, he would work very hard to learn Chinese from Roque, and sometimes when he learned a sentence, he would repeat it all day long.

Such a child will not be able to succeed in the future.
