Chapter Ninety-One: A New Relative
"Does it have anything to do with me if he dies or not?"
Such a straightforward cross-examination made Chardon speechless.
He could indeed understand Agnes's feelings about his grandfather, and he knew that his requirements were a bit difficult, but he ...... Even so, he could only bite the bullet and continue to plead.
"You...... Don't say that, okay? He looked at Agnes sincerely, "I know you have a grudge against him, but think about it, he was also trying to protect his son!" Is it really heinous for a father to choose to shield for his son? β
Agnes didn't answer, just looked at him calmly.
"Okay...... Well, I know what you're trying to say. Charles sighed, "You still hate him, then...... I would like to ask if you can ...... Can you, for my sake, choose to continue to choose to hide yourself, at least for the rest of the month? I don't want you to continue wandering outside, I just want you to stop socializing for now, and if you return to social life now, the rumors will reach my grandfather's ears sooner or later...... No, at least for now, he can't know, it's too dangerous. β
"That's really impressive...... Agnes sneered, "you'll always think about those with the surname Treville, because you're a Treville too." So...... Have you considered my feelings? My sister and I, our lives have been messed up by your father and your grandfather, one has died a miserab, and the other has wasted so many years of youth...... Do you remember thinking about their feelings, but did you consider our feelings?! If you haven't thought about us, then ...... Why do you feel qualified to ask me to do this? β
Her sharp accusations. Charles became more and more speechless.
"Sorry...... Sorry......" he just muttered to himself.
He was indeed full of regret for what he had done for his father and grandfather. Also for what he did to her.
"Our family...... Our family owes you so much that I know I am not qualified to ask you to do anything. He let out a long sigh. But now I have to be cheeky enough to beg you to do this last thing for me. Yes, this is the last thing, I will never do anything to you again, on the contrary, if I can compensate you for anything, then I will definitely do my best to compensate you. I...... I really hope you'll be able to enjoy the rest of your life, no. It's to enjoy the rest of your life even more, and you will be able to fill all the gaps of the decade, and God and I will reward you! β
"What? Want to bribe me? You Trevilles are used to these tricks......" Agnes said with no sign of being moved, but sneered.
Charles stopped talking, just looking at her with that hopeful look.
"Do you think that's going to make me change my mind?" Agnes still sneered.
"You'll change your mind." Charles replied categorically, and there was no more pleading at this time, only the last determination. "Because you are you, if I plead with you, you will answer...... In the last year. I've got it. β
"You're ......," Agnes scowled slightly.
However, after the two men looked at each other for a moment, Agnes finally lowered her gaze.
She really couldn't completely reject her nephew's request as she did verbally, especially if it was so reasonable.
Although he has the blood of Trevill's sins in his veins. But it was mixed with my sister's blood. In any case, he is the last remnant of his sister.
Since killing Edgar, the hatred and anger in her heart have gradually dissipated.
Not to mention. It's been more than a decade since they've disappeared, so what if they spend a few more months patrolling underground? Not at all in the way.
"Okay. Just take it as a return, I promise you. "Until the end. Agnes sighed, "Thank you for not shielding him in the end and letting me get revenge." β
As she said this, she subconsciously looked at Charlotte, who was weeping next to the tomb in the distance.
It was thanks to Charlotte's help that she was able to catch Edgar so smoothly and write off the grudge.
Again, it was to thank Charlotte that she had to keep her mouth shut about it, and she could only say nothing.
Let's just thank you and you.
"Thank you!" Charles finally breathed a sigh of relief, "I'...... I'm very grateful for your help, tell me, what kind of compensation do you want? I am happy to repay you in any way I can. β
"Hmph, what do I need from you Treville family to help me?" Agnes shook her head, disapproving, "Come on, I don't want it, and I can get by on my own...... There's one thing you have to do for me, though. β
"What's the matter? You just say it, right? Charles was overjoyed.
"Originally, I was going to take a good look around and have some fun...... Now that I've agreed to your request, it's just a matter of doing the same thing. Agnes raised an eyebrow, "Don't worry, I'm not going to go to those places where the social community meets, and I won't meet many people who know me - besides, how many people remember me are doubtful now." β
Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled bitterly.
"What about you...... So what do you need me to do? Charles hurriedly asked.
"Lend me your subordinate named Kong Ze to use, he seems to have something to do with him everywhere." Agnes directly made her own request, "If I get into trouble, he can help me solve it, and I don't need to do it." Otherwise, if I make a move, won't it be troublesome...... At that time, I couldn't hide anything. β
"Okay, no problem, just do as you say!" Without giving it any thought, Charles agreed to her request. "I'll let him follow you during this time, you can support him as much as you like, just tell him how much it will cost you, and I'll be responsible for everything."
Although Agnes's request was a little strange, to be honest, he didn't believe that his aunt would have any plans against him.
To Charles's surprise, Agnes kept looking at him as he said that.
"What's wrong with you?"
"Not much...... It's just a little sigh. Agnes lowered her gaze, "Just look at the way you look now, you really have that commanding style!" You've grown up like my dad and your cousin who just died......"
"They're all dukes, and I'm still a long way from them." Charles smiled slightly, but there was always a hint of arrogance in his expression.
"Yes, you're grown up, and I'm old......" Agnes seemed to joke and sigh.
Charles looked at his aunt again.
The gray skirt sets off the face more and more fair, because of the perennial travel and exercise, her figure is still very slender, and the perseverance between her looks is still there, but because of the relaxation after revenge, she has brought a lot of agility and humor back then.
Even after ten years of wasted youth, she is still very beautiful.
"Aunt Agnes?" Under the agitation of the mood, he couldn't help but blurt out.
"Huh?"
"You say you're old, but I can assert that this is completely untrue. Yes, you are still very young and have plenty of time to chase your own happiness. He looked at his aunt sincerely, "Yes, you can still be happy, this time...... Don't miss it this time, okay? Stop sacrificing yourself for the sake of others, you're great enough! β
ββ¦β¦ You" Agnes' eyes widened.
When her mood was stirring, Charles suddenly stepped forward and hugged her gently.
The last time he was in his own house, he did it, but it was to subdue her, and at that time the future was at stake, and his heart was full of fierce determination; And this time, all he had in his heart was apologies to the other party, as well as blessings.
"I wish you happiness." His cheek touched his aunt's, just like he had in his childhood. "As my mother's blood, I am one of your dearest people, although I have done stupid things before, and it hurts your heart, but please ...... Please don't doubt my sincerity at this moment, okay? You...... I would like to pay whatever it takes to help you be happy! β
The initial shock caused Agnes to freeze, but the excitement soon made her tremble slightly.
In the end, she just closed her eyes again.
I've really grown up.
You should still be able to see it, right? Can you be proud of such a son?
After my efforts, everything has returned to the normal track, the damned are dead, and the ones who should be alive can live well.
"Thank you," she smiled, tears rolling down the corners of her eyes at the same time.
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
As night fell, the Duke's funeral was over, and the members of the TrΓ©ville family were to stay overnight at the estate tonight and leave tomorrow morning.
"So, you've seen him?" On the windowsill of the room, Charlotte asked in a low voice.
"Yes, as you have asked, I have seen him." Agnes replied rather lightly, "He has no suspicion of his father's death at all, it seems...... Your plan has been successful, congratulations. β
"I'm supposed to congratulate you, right?" Charlotte smiled wryly. "I'm really happy to meet you, really, I feel like I'm in love when I see you."
"Makes you laugh." Agnes laughed too, and then shrugged her shoulders almost playfully, "But, with you, I have another relative with the surname Treville, which is so paradoxical......"
"I'm different from that kind of bastard, please don't confuse us." Charlotte replied with the same smile. (To be continued.) )
