In order to show her support for the hostess, when Phyllis returned to her parents' house, Anna and Bella followed Phyllis to the mayor's mansion, and Phyllis even took the cook of the Baron's Palace, and Roque returned to the Baron's Mansion without even eating.

Roque is also embarrassed to find a chef temporarily, he really can't afford to lose this person, Zach tries very hard to cook for Roque, but he really can't swallow it.

Roque threw away the chopsticks as soon as he took a bite, the steak was not cooked, and although Zach was careful to remove all the burnt parts with a knife, it was still difficult to eat: "You did it on purpose, right?" I can't even fry a steak, so I can't stew it? ”

Roque was depressed, Zach probably did it on purpose, otherwise it would not have been possible to make it so unpalatable, obviously when he went on an outing before, Zach had a good barbecue skill.

Zach couldn't speak, so he could only make gestures.

"New equipment in the kitchen, you won't use it! Very good reason. Roque pulled down the napkin and threw it on the table in front of him, and then wanted to feed the steak to the big guy, wanting to see if the big guy ate it.

Then Roque found out that the big guy probably followed Phyllis back to his parents' house.

Roque was so angry, he couldn't live this day, the family was a traitor, and he didn't know how Phyllis bought people's hearts.

Zach would not betray Roque no matter what, and Phyllis could not be shaken, so she continued to compare with Roque.

"Oh, Anna and Bella are trying to persuade Phyllis to come back, so they can't take all the chefs away?" Roque actually knew that Phyllis might not be angry, most of them just showed an attitude, but this practice should never be promoted.

So Roque decided to go to Philip's house to have dinner and see if he could coax Phyllis back.

When Roque arrived at Philip's house, Phyllis had already eaten lunch and was reading English stories to coax Gavin to take a nap, which was said to be the most authentic way of life of the aristocracy.

Roque is complaining that if a few months-old kid can understand Shakespeare, it is estimated that only a time-traveler can do it.

"Is there anything you can eat? I'm starving—" Roque was of course going to behave as miserable as possible, and before he came, Roque even considered whether to change into a dirty set of clothes, but in the end he didn't change because he couldn't afford to lose the man.

"You can go to the banker's house for dinner—" Phyllis was so arrogant that she actually picked up the shelf.

At this time, it was obvious that there was an internal benefit, and Bella took two maids to secretly bring over all kinds of small snacks, and after a while, the table was piled up.

"It's better to eat at home—" Roque punned on and immediately started.

Phyllis was complaining, and she didn't forget to pour water for Roque in her hand.

"It's too crowded here." That's the reason why Roque thought about it on the road.

Although the mayor's mansion is large, there are only so many servants' rooms, and there are many servants on Philip's side, plus the people brought back by Phyllis, it is indeed a bit crowded.

"It's a little squeezed, but it's not bad." Phyllis hadn't put down her hand yet, but it was obvious that she wasn't thinking about it, and Gavin's babbling protests couldn't attract Phyllis's attention.

"Phyllis—" Owen, who arrived in time to see the bustle, reminded Phyllis not to overdo it, there was a staircase that was almost there.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's my fault, it's me who didn't handle it well." Roque immediately admitted his mistake, this matter can't be blamed for Phyllis's ignorance, a woman will be angry.

"What are you going to do?" Phyllis is still inexperienced, this kind of thing is the best way to pretend not to know, and directly pick out the problem, can you still bring Arthur back.

Ida wouldn't agree either, Arthur didn't have the surname "Locke", but "Cape".

If this were someone else, it might be a farce of wealthy families involving titles and property.

Roque doesn't have this problem here, Ada herself is also very wealthy, in addition to the shares of the Rand Bank and lighters, bars, Ada herself has a farm with an area of more than 50,000 acres in Cape, and now the store has opened to the "Itno" in Europe, Roque's own shares are given to Phyllis, and the other half of the shares belong to Ida, that is, Phyllis and Ida don't know about it, if they know, it is estimated that Phyllis and Ida will go crazy.

Even Roque himself was unaware of the situation.

As long as Gavin can grow up safely, then the first inheritance of the Baron of Nyasaland must be Gavin's, unless Phyllis has no son, otherwise it will not be Arthur's turn to inherit the right, so Phyllis really doesn't need to be angry, compared to those big people who have countless lovers and don't know how many illegitimate children there are, Roque is already clean.

"It's all up to you, whatever you say is what you say." Roque doesn't want to do anything, isn't it good to be okay with each other.

Phyllis is definitely not good, so Phyllis tried to pretend to be fierce: "Take Arthur back, let him change his surname to Locke, and I will raise him." ”

Roque couldn't even imagine that.

"Don't, Phyllis, or you'll regret it." Owen disagreed, Phyllis's approach wasn't very clever.

This kind of operation is not impossible, but only under the premise that the child's biological mother is powerless, Ada's situation is unlikely, and if Phyllis wants to take Arthur, Ida will probably go crazy.

Phyllis was actually talking angrily, she really wanted to take Arthur home, no matter what problems Arthur had, it would be Phyllis embarrassed in the end.

After Philip saw Roque, he didn't show Roque a face, but it was still very clear that Philip still had an opinion about Roque.

In fact, Roque's little happened before he married Phyllis, and he can't blame Roque for being young and frivolous, who hasn't been young and frivolous when Philip also beat Roque at his age, man, he doesn't make any mistakes that are saints.

The key is performance later.

After Roque and Phyllis got married, they were still quite responsible for the family, at least Roque didn't have any ambiguities with anyone else.

As for Ada, if it weren't for Arthur, then Roque might still be able to disassociate himself with Ada.

Don't think about it now, with Arthur's existence, Roque is destined to be involved with Ida in this life, as long as Roque doesn't spoil his concubine and kill his wife, Philip can pretend not to know.

Philip still knows what is at stake.

"The term of office of the Governor will end in August, and the new Governor will probably be the Earl of Selborn, who is too old to be as close to Governor Ade as he is, and then the Transvaal will be fully democratically representative, and you must be prepared for the final victory of the Liberals." Philip didn't mention Roque at all, and the upcoming general election was the focus of Philip's attention.

On 1 August 1900, Alfred Milner was appointed Governor of the Transvaal and Orange, five years after that.

Alfred Milner's term will come to an end on July 31 this year, and Roque had hoped that Ade would stay, but now it seems that this is an extravagant hope after all, and the new governor is the Earl of Selborn, who Roque is completely unfamiliar with, which is not good news for Roque.

In any case, Roque was picked up by Ade, so Ade has a knowing grace for Roque.

According to Chinese tradition, the importance of knowing the grace of encounters does not need to be emphasized, and "reborn parents" is used to describe this relationship, although now that Roque has a certain foundation and many partners, Ade has always been Roque's biggest backer.

Relying on the mountains and mountains, relying on everyone to run, the ancients were honest and did not deceive me, and Roque still had to rely on himself in the end.

Roque and Owen both nodded, Owen's qualifications are too shallow, even if the Liberal Party wins the Transvaal election, Owen is probably not qualified to become the speaker of the Transvaal, Philip is the most suitable candidate, so in this election, Philip will personally come forward to stand for the Liberal Party.

When the democratic representative system is fully developed, the speaker of the parliament and the prime minister will not be the same person, but in southern Africa there is no such problem, and the Cape, which has been practicing democratic representative system for many years, is now the prime minister and the speaker of the parliament, which are all held by Dr. Starr Jameson.

"Locke, you're going to London for the next time and get a Ph.D." Philip has arrangements for Roque.

"To London?" Roque was surprised, Owen had raised this issue with Roque before, but Roque did not agree at the time, in Roque's opinion, such things as degrees did not help Roque much.

"Yes, go to London, the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, I have contacted General Victor Foster for you, and you can enter directly." Philip wanted Roque to get a degree that would allow him to influence the future of South Africa.

Although Roque has received a more advanced higher education than this era, Roque of this era is still a "hillbilly" without any degree.

This was obviously very unseemly for a nobleman, and Henry's uneducated fellow had also studied at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst.

However, it is a pity that Roque is not interested in the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, it is too much time to go to school, and after Cecil Rhodes earned money, he also entered Oxford University, and it took eight years for Cecil Rhodes to get his diploma from Oxford University.

Roque didn't want to go to the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst for eight years, and eight years later, World War I was about to break out.

"If you want to play a bigger role in the future, then you need to get more recognition, don't worry, it's just a short-term training, and in the military, there are not many people who are qualified to teach you anything." Philip obviously has higher expectations for Roque, and Henry's guy can be mixed up to this point, and Henry has exceeded Philip's expectations of him.

Philip wasn't lying, the Cape Town police raid that killed Joubert in the Boer War had been written into the textbooks of the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst, and that battle was commanded by Roque.
