After having the audacity to shout out his thoughts, Jérôme-Bonaparte looked at Charlotte with a little relief and fear.

Under his gaze, Charlotte's brows furrowed slightly, and her eyes narrowed, but she didn't look very angry, just very strange.

At least it doesn't look very happy.

It seems that she really refuses to agree...... A hint of frustration swept over him.

"Who do you think you are? It's just a person with no identity, and he still wants to cling to our family? We're already magnanimous enough to help you, but you still dare to make an inch? Don't look at who you are! He had expected the lady to say so, or at least something similar, just wrapped in polite sugarcoating.

To his surprise, however, Charlotte's expression slowly reopened, and then she looked at Jerome Bonaparte with a strange look, which made him feel a little uncomfortable, but did not know what to do.

After looking at it for a few moments, Charlotte nodded slightly.

"Oh, I see, sir, you have surprised me."

He could not see what this vague answer meant, but it was evident that he was not furious or flatly refused......

"You...... What do you think of my request? Although he knew that taking this opportunity to change the topic was the best choice, the hidden desire in his heart made him brave enough to ask questions again, regardless of the risk of angering the lady. If...... If you think I'm asking too much, please let me know...... I don't hold a grudge against you. I know that now we have too many gaps......"

"I'm glad you're so sober about reality. Yes, as it stands, it's hard for you to get us to agree with that. Charlotte readily agreed, but soon gave him new comfort, "But why do you have to suffer so much? After all, your surname is Bonaparte, and you are likely to be a member of the royal family of this country, so you can have your own ideas as a matter of course, and there is nothing wrong with that. I was surprised. You're living like a prince so soon......"

"That is, you ...... You don't disagree with my idea? Jérôme Bonaparte asked, ignoring the ridicule.

"You're an adult, and of course you have your own thoughts, can I interfere with your thoughts? Besides, my," Charlotte laughed again, but there seemed to be something more indescribable in this smile, "just think about it, I won't interfere with you." But. I would like to advise you not to tell my husband at this time, because his reaction may not be like mine...... At least not yet. ”

"Why is that?" The young man, who had breathed a sigh of relief, was again drawn by curiosity. "Doesn't he want to hear that?"

"He hates it when people interfere with his energy for irrelevant things, especially when he's doing something important." Charlotte gave an answer that didn't come from her heart, "Think about it. You're working with us right now and want to do something big. He's doing everything for you—and you're running over to him and telling him that you just want to spend a little more time with his sister. So who can not be angry?! So you'd better keep quiet about him for now. Don't forget, we are a family that is very strict with the old principles, and if he is provoked, then your wish will not be fulfilled 100%. ”

"Is that so? I understand! It dawned on the young man that he understood what Charlotte was implying in herald. As long as I follow Mr. Tréville and make some achievements, then at that point I will be qualified...... I'm qualified to make my request, right? ”

"If you've helped us enough, we'll certainly consider giving you enough in return." Charlotte replied hintly, "After all, girls have to go this way anyway, don't they?" The Bonaparte family is not an unacceptable object for us. ”

This is, of course, a lie, and in Charlotte's mind, an upstart like Bonaparte is certainly no match for a surname like Trelville, but ...... As a punishment, it is just right.

Jerome Bonaparte, of course, could not have understood the thoughts that were spinning in Charlotte's head, and he was now agitated and full of hope for the future.

"I'll do everything you need me to do, whatever!"

"Okay, in that case, then I won't say anything more, you can show it yourself with your actions." Charlotte made a gesture to indicate that the other party could leave first. "Remember what I told you."

The young man stood up in understanding, and then bowed respectfully to Charlotte, showing his enthusiasm.

"By the way, there's one more thing I want to ask you......"

Just as he had already reached the door, Charlotte seemed to remember something and asked again.

"What are you going to do if we try but we don't get what you want, or if you can't stay in France anymore?"

"Originally, I was going to try my luck and see if I could get French. If not, I'll go back to the Americas—our family has a lot of property there, and although I can't say how rich we are, we have no problem supporting ourselves. The young man did not doubt him, so he answered her question honestly, "Of course, since I have already received help from you and your husband, I don't think I need to do that anymore." ”

What's more, he didn't want to go back at all.

"I see, I see." Charlotte nodded noncommittally, then motioned for him to leave.

Jérôme Bonaparte opened the door and walked out briskly. When he just walked out of the room, he breathed a sigh of relief, compared to the restraint and nervousness when he had just entered, now he was full of joy and high spirit, and the fighting spirit and optimism of the young man had been fully revealed.

Although the road ahead cannot be said to be an easy road. But he had seen the light, and the road had been illuminated by the light. The direction has been seen at a glance.

As long as he obeys the Trevill family, he may be closer to that Miss Trevier. It's even possible to take the relationship one step further – at least there's an important mission that supports it, isn't it?

While he was still in such a reverie, a woman in a skirt slowly appeared from across the hallway, and then walked towards the opposite side step by step.

Maybe because she didn't plan to go out, she didn't dress up carefully and wore a white dress. But it was still bright and moving, and her long golden hair fluttered behind her back, gently fluttering with her footsteps.

Isn't this the person he has always had in mind?

"Monsieur Bonaparte?" When she walked in, she quickly recognized the young man.

“…… Special...... Treville ...... Miss! "It's like someone has seen through your mind. He greeted with some flusteredness, "Hello. ”

"Hello." Fran nodded, then looked at him quietly, as if she was speculating on something.

"Are you also coming to see Madame Treville?" Jérôme Bonaparte was a little embarrassed to look at, and his face seemed to be a little hot.

"Yes, I came to look for her, and she asked me to come and see her today." Fran nodded, then glanced behind him, "You've already seen her, haven't you?" ”

"Yes. She's in there, and we've been talking for a while. Jerome Bonaparte replied with a reluctant smile, "She has heard of your brother's dealings with me, and therefore intends to come and see me as well." Let's make sure. ”

"Oh, then you may have worked hard, she's not a good talker. It's up to you...... Don't you seem to feel at ease? "Maybe it's a misunderstanding of something. Fran looked at him as if comforted, "If anything offends you." Don't take it personally, she's such a person. You know that she doesn't pay much attention to other people's feelings, but she actually has a good heart. ”

Sure enough, you care about me...... The young man's heart was hot.

"Nothing, we had a great conversation. Madame Tremier was a very nice person, and she was very kind to me. Although she has a fierce temper, as you said, she has no ill will towards others, only kindness. ”

"Oh yes, she's a nice person." Fran echoed him again, not revealing the slightest sign of anything out of the ordinary.

The sudden silence caused the young man to hesitate.

Although he had a thousand words to say in his heart, he could see that this young lady wanted to say goodbye to him and go in to see his brother and sister-in-law, but because he didn't want to ruin his own interest, he couldn't say it directly, so he could only perfunctory himself here.

What a gentle man! Obviously, compared to the domineering cousin, this young lady is much more gentle and amiable.

How can I take advantage of her tenderness for my own liking? No, you can't do such a despicable thing.

"Okay, then I won't delay your time, please come in." Having wasted the boss's strength, Jérôme Bonaparte got out of the way. "I hope you enjoy your day."

"I'm sorry." Fran smiled at him, then walked sideways past him, "Good luck with your speedy return to France." ”

"Thank you!" He kept his eyes down on her footsteps, and when she had already walked over, he suddenly shouted behind him, "I will return to France sooner rather than later, and repay the kindness of the Tréville family with everything I have!" Miss Treville, I assure you, because of your brother, you ...... You will receive a sincere warrior in France who can go to great lengths for you and your family. ”

Fran turned her head curiously, then smiled again and nodded at him.

"I hope you're not just talking."

"Never." The young man straightened his back. "I pledge with my life."

Then, like a soldier under review, he turned around reproachlessly, and then walked forward step by step with his head held high, his heart burning with a burning heart.

He couldn't wait for that day to come.

What he couldn't see was that the smile on Fran's face, who had turned back to turn around, slowly disappeared and turned into an expression of indifference and contemplation.

Is this Charlotte's next pawn?

She thought about it as she walked, and when she reached the door, she knocked lightly, and then pushed the door in without waiting for Charlotte to say yes.

Then she saw Charlotte's smiling face sitting in her chair.

It was the first time they had seen Charlotte since they got married, and at that moment, Fran subconsciously moved her gaze down to her abdomen.

Although it doesn't look out of the ordinary, a new life has been born there, and it's the next generation of the Trevier family......

Jealousy and bitterness surged over her for a moment, and she managed not to let her calm expression collapse.

"How are you doing? I've been worrying about your body. Charlotte was oblivious to her harsh gaze, still smiling. Please sit down. ”

"Thanks to you, it's good now." Fran remained still, not looking to have a good conversation with her.

Looking at her calm appearance, Charlotte couldn't help but sigh.

"Hey, don't suppress yourself so much, just say it if you hate me, I can stand it! Actually, I hate you a lot, it's always so insidious, it's uncomfortable to watch, and it hasn't changed for more than ten years. ”

Stimulated by this, Fran finally couldn't keep her calm anymore.

"Do you have any right to say anything about me?!"

"Of course I'm qualified, I'm in charge of the Trevier family, whether you accept it or not, that's the way it is." Charlotte spread her hands as if she was helpless.

This taunt made Fran stagnate slightly, and then because she was short of words, she didn't say anything, and could only look at each other hatefully.

"yes, that's how it should be, right? Haven't you always hated me so much? But it doesn't work, no matter what you think, I'm still enjoying everything I'm entitled to. Charlotte looked at each other with great pleasure and was full of hatred but helpless. God is just after all, and you tried to tear us apart, but He reunited us as we were destined, and then had children......"

"You came to me today just to talk about this kind of thing!" When she heard the last sentence, Fran finally couldn't help but shout.

"Making you unhappy is just one of the goals." Charlotte looked at the red-faced Fran with interest, "And I have two other things to tell you. ”

"What's the matter? Go ahead! ”

"First of all, I've met your father, and he told me about you coercing him into writing paperwork." Charlotte kept staring at Fran, "So I'm going to tell you that this paperwork is completely invalid, and I want you to accept punishment for this boldness." ”

"Come on! Who is afraid of you! (To be continued......)
