"No, no, I can't do that!"

After hearing Charlotte's added suggestion, Charles suddenly blurted out. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hearing this answer, Charlotte stared at Charles gloomily but solemnly, not too surprised, but this somewhat gloomy aura did make people a little uncomfortable.

"Why not, Charles?" Charlotte asked in a low voice. "Don't you think it's the best of both worlds? If you think there's something wrong with what I'm saying, can you correct me? ”

"Uh...... "......Charles was a little troubled, after all, Charlotte's advice was indeed reasonable on the surface, not only to repay the family of the Count of Dilillion, but also to make the best use of it, and to free him from complicated affairs.

There was only one flaw - Matilda would go to Spain with her father, which would probably leave him with no idea for a long time, and he was unwilling to face such an outcome.

After a few moments, Charles finally came up with a reason. "A young woman like Matilda must be fascinated by the prosperity of this place, and now that she is favored by Her Majesty, how can she be willing to throw away everything here and go to the poor mountains and rivers of Spain? We shouldn't be imposed. ”

"If we don't ask, how can we know that this is a strong man's problem, Charles?" Charlotte's words were a little more sarcastic, "Could it be that you refused to agree for some other reason?" ”

"Well, then I'll talk to the Count, and he'll take your advice to you, and if he's willing to take Matilda there, then of course I'll not object." Charles decided to use a delaying tactic to drag this matter down, as long as the Count didn't bring anyone over, then even Charlotte couldn't say anything, "Okay Charlotte, you should be satisfied now, right?" ”

"It's not too satisfying." Charlotte narrowed her eyes slightly, "You can't bear Matilda to leave you, right?" That's why there is such fierce opposition. ”

"No, not at all." Charles flatly denied it, "Please don't think about it. ”

"Okay, I'll take care of this matter, you don't have to worry about it." Charlotte interrupted him sharply, "I will go and consult with the earl personally...... Just wait for our good news. ”

Charlotte's resolute attitude surprised Charles.

He knew the Earl, who had always been oblivious and had a very weak character, and if Charlotte had really given the order, perhaps the Count would have agreed...... That's not going to work.

"Charlotte, I don't understand why you have to get along with Matilda...... Well, there were some things we couldn't do to you before, but now these things are in the past, aren't they? Charles sighed, then put down the letter in his hand, "If you can't forgive her, then at least you can turn a blind eye to her, right?" Why do you have to oppress her so much? It's just going to make people think you're too arrogant......"

"Arrogance? Is it? Charlotte sneered, "I'm very willing to forgive her, but she doesn't want me to forgive at all...... I just talked to her once. ”

"What?" Charles was momentarily shocked. "What did you talk about?"

He was really worried, Charlotte's mood had changed drastically compared to just now, could it be that she knew something about what had just happened?

"The thing we talked about was very simple, I asked her if she could give up her previous affair with you, so that we could all be freed from this disgusting situation." Charlotte's face had turned very ugly, "and she told me that she was not going to do what I wanted—and that it was all up to you, and that if you would not be in her dealings then she would not continue to bother us, and he was very ...... Charles, what do you think about this? ”

Mathilda! Good job! This was the first thought that flashed through Charles. He was grateful for Matilda's statement, and God knows how much pressure it would be when facing Charlotte.

But of course he didn't dare to show such an attitude, he could only look away in embarrassment, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Don't you feel complacent? Are you proud of your charm? Mr. Treville? Charlotte asked coldly, "Or are you glad you didn't lose a precious relationship after all?" ”

"No, Charlotte, I didn't think so—well, we don't need to talk about it forever." Charles immediately changed the subject, "I know you're hostile to Matilda, and she's really upsetting you today, and I'm going to warn them about it—but because of that you're determined to do this to her, I don't think there's any need to do that, just let everything be a thing of the past, and I'll be careful not to provoke her ...... again."

He was hell-bent on calming things down, but Charlotte had no intention of letting him sit back like that.

"Can you keep your promise?"

I can't do it, I'm sorry, I just had a relationship with her...... Of course, Charles did not dare to say such an answer at all.

"Of course I can, and I've been doing it since we got married." In the end, he could only say, "Charlotte, I have always respected you very much and tried to cater to you, so I don't want you to pester me with this kind of thing and make waves in our lives for no reason, I don't think it's necessary." ”

"yes, you've been trying to cater to me......" Charlotte leaned closer, then looked at Charles angrily, "What about me?" Haven't I been trying to cater to you? I've always tried to make you happy and make you feel like our marriage was worth it, not a social event to make the elderly happy! Haven't you felt my efforts all along? Still is...... Or did you never really take your past promises to heart?! ”

"I don't understand why you're so angry all of a sudden, but I really think we shouldn't quarrel over such a trivial matter." Charles lowered his gaze with some displeasure, "Alright, I still have a lot of things to do, don't let us have any more unpleasantness, okay?" I'll do what you say to Count Dilièon, and if—if the Count agrees with you, let him bring Matilda there." ”

"I haven't been willful since we got married, have I? I'm really sorry for what you think of me......" Charlotte still didn't mean to give up, and still insisted on her opinion, "Then I need to be willful this time, you have to listen to me today, he must listen to me, and she has to listen to me!" ”

"This is vexatious!" Charles frowned. "Pointless vexatiousness!"

"Then I must say that I have the right to be vexatious, sir." Charlotte's face was already flushed, and she looked at Charles angrily, "Without me, of course you can still be your minister, but I also have my things, you are just borrowing!" Don't forget that I'm the master of Giverny, and I'm the heir to my grandfather! You've always taken me for granted, and I'm ...... I've always taken it for granted that I'm supported by you, and that's okay, I'm willing to do it for you're sake, but that doesn't mean I'm only going to be supported by you, well, Mr. Treville, what do you think you should do? ”

"Are you threatening me?" Before he knew it, Charles was already a little angry, because he never liked the feeling of being threatened, even if it was his wife.

"If you have to think so, then you are!" Charlotte cried out, "I want to see how important you think of that young lady, and you won't give in if you want to make such a fuss?" ”

Charles was almost furious, but he suddenly realized that when the quarrel between the couple reached this point, if they went a little deeper, it would be a great disaster—and he really couldn't fall out with Charlotte now, both emotionally and financially. If Charlotte really stood by her will, then ...... He really couldn't force Charlotte to change her mind.

"It's not a question of status, it's ...... It's a matter of morality. After a while, Charles finally slowed down, "We can't be rude to those who cling to us, or it will frighten others." ”

"Moral ...... I really didn't expect you to be able to say this word in your mouth, but I didn't expect you to take morality so seriously. Charlotte couldn't help but laugh again, "Well, I want you to trample on morality once for me, this kind of request is not too much, don't you trample on it less often?" Charles, since we got married, I've only been willful for so once, and I think you'll get what I want. ”

Charles was silent, and after a long moment, he bit his lip and stood up crisply. He didn't want Matilda to leave, and he didn't like the feeling of being threatened - he didn't want to be controlled.

"You're too emotional now, I don't want to argue, now I want to be quiet, you can rest here too." In the end, he left such a sentence and walked straight out of the room. "We'll talk about that later."

"Charles!" As he was leaving, Charlotte shouted from behind, but Charles didn't stop and left the place.

After Charles left, Charlotte couldn't help but sit down in her chair and wipe the corners of her eyes with her hand.

The root of her assertiveness with her husband just now stemmed from her lack of self-confidence, the fear that her husband would be as Matilda had said, and that she was not interested in her interests and hobbies, as Matilda had said, and that she was still thinking of Matilda - the reason why she wanted to get rid of Matilda so forcefully was also to test her husband's attitude.

And the result of the temptation was so unpleasant, her husband tried every means to shirk the excuse, but he was unwilling to do so, even if she used such a fierce threat, she still did not shake her husband's will, and the facts contained in it really made her shudder in her heart.

After walking out of the room, Charles was still a little annoyed, he walked directly through the corridors of the palace with a straight face, and finally found Matilda, at this time he didn't care about avoiding suspicion, and led Matilda directly to a secluded corner.

"Charlotte had a fight with you just now?" He asked directly.

"Yes, sir." Although she was a little surprised, Matilda nodded her head and told her what had just happened.

"It's unfortunate that she had a fight with me just now." Charles smiled wryly.

Too...... Indecent, that was Matilda's first thought.

Charlotte's approach was really a bit of an aristocratic loss in Matilda's opinion, and it was rare for a duchess lady and a future marquis to fall out with her husband for such a thing.

But that's love. Matilda thought to herself, and then suddenly understood what the other party was doing, and then felt even more sorry, I had touched the things she cherished so much......

"Or do as she says......" Matilda said, half tentatively, half sincerely, "if you do fall out with her, it won't be a good thing for you." ”

"No, no, you don't have to go anywhere." Charles bluntly rejected her words, "I can't be submissive just because of a few words from her, it's not my hobby." ”

"Sir......" Matilda didn't know what to say.

"I've already broken once, so I can't break it a second time, and it's more terrible to be bad than not being responsible." Charles looked up at the other, "You don't have to be afraid of what she does to you, I will protect you." ”

"Thank you......" Matilda closed her eyes slightly, clearly enjoying the answer. I'll admit my mistake to her, even if it's for you. (To be continued.) )
