Charles's sudden movements made Charlotte even more embarrassed, she didn't expect that under such a strict occasion, Charles would dare to act so recklessly.

However, her exclamation did not cause any waves, and the two old men did not squint, as if they had not seen such a draconian act of Charles at all.

Grandpa's majesty made Charlotte secretly frightened, and the touch from her hand made her feel even more numb, and what made her even more alarmed was that she found that no matter how much she warned herself beforehand, she still couldn't help but want to see Charles's face again.

"What are you doing? Let me go! To hide her panic, she turned her face away, and tried to pull her hand away, but to no avail, Charles grabbed it so tightly that she couldn't pull it away.

This bastard...... This bastard...... Charlotte was angry in her heart, and she just kept cursing Charles in her heart, but she didn't dare to make too much noise next to her grandfather.

"Charlotte, I heard you've been feeling unwell lately, but now that I look at you, you seem to be in good spirits...... At least more energetic than me. As if he had not heard his granddaughter's voice, the Duke of Tréville asked slowly, "Then why haven't I seen you for a while?" Even Charles refused to meet you when he came to visit you several times. Okay, don't move yet, let's talk to grandpa......"

Grandpa's words made Charlotte have to give up the intention of breaking free first, and glared at Charles fiercely.

"I'm to blame for this, Your Excellency." Charles nodded at Charlotte with a flattering smile as he answered the Duke of Treville's question, "I did something wrong lately that made Charlotte angry......

"Really? Is that so? This is not good," the Duke frowned, "you are also a person of considerable age, so you should be more steady, and don't act like a child, causing trouble twice in three days." Look, now you're suffering, right? Now that you have lost your temper and caused so much trouble to everyone, shouldn't you admit your mistake? ”

"Yes, I know, I'm sorry......" Charles bowed deeply and apologized, "I'll apologize to Charlotte until she's willing to forgive me." ”

"That's what it sounds like." The Duke nodded slightly, "Charles, you must let Charlotte more in the future, otherwise you will make a fuss like this before you get married, won't you have to quarrel for three days after you get married?" ”

"Of course." Charles replied immediately. "I would never dare to off Charlotte again."

"You can't just talk, you must show it with action, otherwise what's the point of just talking!" The Duke whispered to his nephew, and then turned his gaze to his granddaughter, "Charlotte, how is it?" It's been enough for so long, right? Since Charles has already apologized to you so sincerely, you should forgive him this time......"

Listening to the singing and harmony of these two people, Charlotte only felt that the anger in her heart was getting thicker and thicker, and she was almost about to have a loud seizure, and she finally managed to maintain her composure.

Although these words of grandpa seem to be blaming Charles, it is obvious that he is understating Charles, and what kind of "children are causing trouble" in this shameless betrayal?

Not to mention that his words are secretly accusing himself of losing his temper.

If someone else said so, no matter who it was, she would never receive the attack, but this time the person who pulled the bias was her grandfather, whom she had loved and admired since childhood, so no matter how angry she was, Charlotte only felt her throat blocked, and she couldn't speak. In the end, she simply didn't say a word, just squinted at Charles to see what more brazen performance he could perform.

Such an understatement of a few words just wants to smooth out my anger, and wants me to forget the shame I have suffered? Wish for the moon!

"Charlotte, let's do it today, do you really want to gamble and cancel the marriage contract, so that the two of us brothers will also be sad and the whole family will be disgraced?" The Marquis of Treville, who had been standing silent, also suddenly spoke, "Charles did not do this right, but in the final analysis, he just made some mistakes that young people will make, seriously, this kind of mistake, how can anyone not make this kind of mistake?" What's more, with Charles's current status, there will inevitably be some crazy bees and butterflies who like to revolve around him, and it's normal for him to be confused for a while......"

His tone was equally understated, saying that Charles had made a small mistake by being seduced on the spur of the moment.

Of course, he would not sue Charlotte, not only did he not take his grandson seriously when he was out to attract bees and butterflies, but he also had a plan to find a lover for his grandson.

Under the eager gaze of the two old men, Charlotte did not answer, but just stood quietly, looking at the floor with her head slightly bowed.

In order to keep herself from having a seizure on the spot, she bit her lip hard, leaving a shallow tooth mark.

yes, confused for a while...... A mistake made by chance, a small thing - that's how everyone sees it, it's just that I'm just making a fuss about nothing.

She actually knew from the beginning that in the hearts of the older generation, this kind of thing was not a big deal.

But...... What the older generation thinks, she doesn't care at all.

She slowly raised her head and stared coldly at Charles.

Do you think so too? Is that the excuse you're giving yourself......? She seemed to be questioning.

"I made a big mistake, Charlotte." After staring at each other for a moment, Charles sighed, "I know it's a bit difficult for you to forgive me now, but I really hope that you can continue our engagement and spend the rest of your life with me, and for that, I'm willing to pay any price, so please forgive me." ”

Listening to Charles' affectionate pleas, Charlotte found herself unable to fight back categorically. She avoided Charles's gaze, but she couldn't pretend to be unheard anyway.

The warmth from the palm of his hand finally turned into endless sourness.

"Are you still trying to deceive me?" Finally, she asked in a low voice. "No...... Enough is enough, you can leave these words to others, I don't want to be fooled anymore, and I don't want to listen to them anymore. You don't have to let yourself suffer, be there for someone you don't love......"

"No, I mean it from the bottom of my heart." Charles hurriedly grabbed Charlotte's hand, for fear that she would suddenly leave with her sleeves gone, "You said that I married you for your dowry or for something else, this is very wrong!" Today, in the presence of these two old men, I can sue you that I have no interest in yours or your family's property, and I can make a contract, and you have dominion over your dowry, your due property, and even my property! Also, I can tell you that I will never be the kind of person who will marry casually for the sake of pleasing people, Lolot, and don't forget, I took the initiative to propose to you! I want to marry you just because I love you, yes...... I love you, I've always loved you, that's why I want to marry you! ”

This sudden and fierce confession made almost everyone stunned, and the three elders of the Trevill family all looked at each other, watching the usually calm Charles suddenly roar like crazy.

"I'm really not ashamed, at this age, I still say what I love in front of women." The Marquis of Trevil shrugged slightly, then made a slightly teasing comment in his heart.

However, in his experience, girls will always eat this set.

It seems that his grandson is still a person with Trevill's blood flowing after all, and some things are self-taught after all...... He thought with a little relief.

As the Marquis of Treville had expected, Charlotte was shaken by Charles' sudden confession, and her eyes widened slightly, and she looked at Charles in surprise, as if judging how sincere he was in what he said.

Reason told her that maybe this was another new rhetoric from this man, but a little luck in her heart made her think that Charles might be sincere.

If you don't want to marry me for money, or to please the old man, then there is only one reason left to propose...... She thought silently to herself.

No, it's still hard to believe.

The doubts that suddenly rose dispelled this reverie in her heart. She was hurt so badly by Charles that she could no longer trust him as much as she had before.

I also believed in his assurances before, succumbed to his opinions again and again, and catered to his interests again and again...... As a result, all you get is a shameless betrayal.

She felt like she didn't have the confidence to believe anymore.

However, her momentary vacillation was completely caught by Charles.

Charlotte ...... That's how much you love me...... An inexplicable emotion filled Charles's heart.

That's a real sense of guilt.

"Charlotte, if I told you how I got here lately, you wouldn't believe it, but I really live in a state of trepidation, afraid that you will abandon me and break the vows we have made since childhood...... Didn't we intend to shine the lintel together in the first place? How can you escape from such a glorious career? After talking about the Treville family's business, he inadvertently changed his tone, low and full of affection, "There are just two old people here today, so you can let me say a few digressions...... Our family has been through a lot of hardships, and it was not easy to take advantage of the changes in the situation to climb back to the top, and we have put in amazing efforts and costs, so ...... We shouldn't be going through any more waves now, can you really bear to watch it be humiliated by our momentary anger? Charlotte, I believe that no one loves this family more than you. This surname deserves to be cherished by each and every one of us, and its glory needs to be guarded by all of us. I am happy...... I'm really glad that I can be united with you and carry on this family name - we are all descendants of the Tréville family, and our union is more representative of Tréville's glory than the future marriage of Philip or Eugène, isn't it? ”

In all fairness, as a time-traveler, Charles's family concept is not so serious, and he is more interested in the so-called "glory of Trelville", but since Charlotte eats this set the most, then he doesn't mind saying it.

As Charles had expected, Charlotte was clearly touched by Charles's words, and she looked at him uneasily, and then at her grandfather.

"That's right, Charles." This is, the Duke of Trevil suddenly spoke, and he agreed with Charles's statement, "Both of us brothers have suffered a lot in **, and then we have to pretend to part ways for the sake of the future, so we have been worried about this at that time, for fear that after our death, our descendants will become strangers and the Trevil family will be torn apart." It is because of this consideration that Victor and I have made this marriage contract, so that the family can be reunited, and in this turbulent time, we will huddle together, cut through thorns, and stand proudly in the world through a terrible storm! ”

Then, he looked at Charlotte again, barely mustered up his strength from his sick body, and continued to speak word by word.

"So...... Charlotte, you should understand that you are not only married for yourself, but also for the Treville family, which is why I made such a will, understand? I want you two to continue the bloodline of our two brothers and protect this family, and you ...... I know you, and you love this family from the bottom of your heart, not because of how good a life it can give you, but because of the surname itself! So how can you abandon this qiē that you hold dear to you and choose to flee alone? ”

"No...... No...... I didn't...... How could I abandon my family? The Duke's accusations left Charlotte almost at a loss, and she defended incoherently. I never thought about it! ”

There was no accusation that could hurt Charlotte's heart more than the Duke's, how could she not love the family?

"That's right, I plan to put all the family's property at your disposal after you get married. And what Charles just said, you heard it just now, right? He also intends to hand over his property to you to dispose of......" The Duke suddenly raised his head and looked at his younger brother, "Victor, do you have any problem with this arrangement?" ”

"Oh, I don't have a problem, that's fine. Charles and I usually have a lot of things to do, so it's better to leave it to someone who has time to take care of it early. The Marquis of Trevil smiled and nodded, "I plan to hand over all my property to Charlotte after the two of them get married." ”

Of course, he was happy to be a favor, anyway, for an old man like him, there was nothing to spend a lot of money on, and after his death, the property would go to Charles except for his granddaughter's part, and now handing it over to Charlotte was just to advance what was inevitable, and there was no trouble - would Charlotte be a misuse to him?

"Good." The Duke nodded approvingly, "So, Charlotte, do you see that?" When you get married, you'll be the mistress of the Treviles from now on, and you won't even have to wait for the two of us to pass away!" Would you refuse such an arrangement? ”

Charlotte, of course, did not refuse.

At this moment, her whole body is even trembling slightly, as if the world is spinning.

Becoming the mistress of the entire family, isn't this exactly what she has dreamed of since she was a child?

It's just that if this qiē needs to be obtained by sacrificing one's own qiē dignity, one qiē is meaningless.

But...... If they don't love themselves, why would the charr make such an arrangement?

All kinds of thoughts hovered over her, upsetting her. She looked at Charles, who was still holding her hand, as if to make sure how sincere his confession was.

"Charlotte, alright, don't be angry." Still smiling at Charlotte, Charles shook her hand gently, "I've already told my grandfather and your grandfather today, and I'm not going to make you angry again......"

This kind of child-like action can bring back Charlotte's fond memories of the past, and she finally faltered when she looked into Charles's eyes.

"Do you want me to not be blind until I die?" Grandpa's question suddenly rang in Charlotte's ears again.

No, she couldn't.

"Charlotte, I know I can't gain your trust just by saying pretty things, so ...... I intend to prove it with my actions. Charles slowly took Charlotte into his arms, "I went to Le Mans last year for exercises, and on the outskirts of Le Mans, on the banks of the Loire, I saw a large area of beautiful countryside. The scenery is stunning, full of vineyards, and in the distance, in the pale blue sky, there are many gardens and castles, and next to the castle is the endless river...... I'm going to buy them all for a big buck, and I'm going to buy a big piece of land, no matter how much it costs. And it'...... It's all yours, it will only be recorded in your name, and it will become your summer place, I don't need your property, but I am willing to give you all qiē, as long as you are happy. ”

It may be possible to lose a lot of money by investing money in land with low yields, but in order to win Charlotte's favor, Charles is willing to do so. "Now you can't say that I deliberately married you for profit, can you? That's right...... I love you, really. ”

Dots of tears appeared around Charlotte's eyes, and then slowly rolled down, creating two bright tear streaks on her fair face.

She finally believed that Charles really wanted to be united with her and spend the rest of her life together.

"Don't betray me again?" Charlotte, with tears in her eyes, whispered next to Charles, "Will you stay with me for the rest of your life?" ”

"Absolutely willing!" Charles laughed. "I said, I'll give you a qiē, you wait!"

With a heartfelt joy, he suddenly lowered his neck and kissed Charlotte on the lips.

Then, looking up again, in the sights of the three elders, either astonished or approving, he gave a loud order to his uncle, with the air of a conqueror, "Go and call a notary and a lawyer, and today we can make a contract to write down everything I say!" ”

Charlotte slowly closed her eyes as she laughed loudly.

"I love you too."

Charles lowered his head again and gave Charlotte a long kiss. R1152
