Laura removed his hand from his shoulder, afraid he would doubt him, and just said,"I feel more comfortable if they can go to Low City, better than North Low, who knows what he will do." He suddenly pulled her arm, a smile on his face, but his eyes saw through her, "It's not impossible to stay in the French Concession, you can visit once in a while, you don't have to stay long."Laura still underestimated Robert. Although he had been silent, he had known for a long time that she was planning to move in with her brother and sister-in-law. Laura was a bit surprised, but she didn't show any signs of it, anyway, she would leave in ten days, it didn't matter whether she went to the French Concession or not, but she hoped he wouldn't doubt it. The next time she went to the French Concession.Fortunately, Robert doesn't have much time during this time, there are meetings at university every three days, and sometimes he stays at the official residence at night. This villa is preparing for t
the eve of the showerThree days later, Laura went to the French Concession again, nominally to drink afternoon tea at Helen Cara's house, but Dylan was there that day. Laura walked into the door, Helen Cara hurriedly closed the door, and walked to the stairs to imitate the rat's "squeak", and then called softly, "Come out." Laura thought it was Cara at first. What secret code Cara was thinking of was very mysterious. Later, when Helen Cara turned his head and grinned at her, Laura realized that Helen Cara was joking about Dylan, laughing at him hiding like a mouse. After a while, Laura saw Dylan walking down the stairs on the second floor, dressed in a straight light gray suit. As soon as he saw Laura, he smiled at her: "Laura, long time no see."Compared with the past, there is no big change, the only difference is that he recently cut his hair short, and at the same time, he looks more energetic and free, and easy. Laura stepped forward and also greeted him, "Mr. Dylan, long
still waterThe servant brought tea and snacks, Cara was sitting on the sofa in the living room, but he didn't look very happy, and he didn't know what to think. Laura shouted softly, and she just smiled perfunctory ignoring it, and instead picked up the book she just put on the coffee table, as if ready to leave. Cara is such a character, happiness and unhappiness are written on his face. Laura was a little strange and wanted to ask her what was wrong. It happened that the fifth concubine came in from outside and saw that the maid was carrying the pile of shopping bags, and knew that she had come back from the department store again. Presumably, the fifth concubine was too tired from shopping, so she waved her hand and asked the servant to helpher carry her newly bought things upstairs, and sat down directly on the sofa opposite Laura. Seeing a young lady sitting next to Laura, the fifth concubine looked up and down, and she seemed to be a female student.The fifth concubine did
Mrs. Elmer's birthday was on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, and fine snow began to fall in the sky from early in the morning. There are lanterns everywhere in the handsome mansion, the festive red of the lanterns and the festive white with the broken snow, which is unique. Because it was a good day, Laura wore an agate red cheongsam and a fox fur cloak. She first followed Robert to the old lady's yard to celebrate her birthday. There were peony flowers in full bloom under the porch in the courtyard, and at the entrance of the main hall, a huge picture of a hundred birthdays hung on the wall. When Laura and Smith were together, several concubines and Smith were there. Mrs. Elmer was wearing a purple jacket with five blessings and longevity. She smiled warmly. When she saw Smith and Laura come in, she greeted them with a smile. Laura and Robert first said auspicious words together, and then Robert asked him to bring up the ruby bonsai with longevity that he had prepared
ups and downsThe side entrance of Shuai Mansion is to the west of the main entrance. If you want to go there, there is still a long way from the stage to there. Laura was afraid of being recognized, so she was about to cover her face with a scarf, but just as she stretched out her hand, someone hurried toward her and shouted, "Miss Laura." Laura looked up, It was actually Axis next to Mrs. Vera. Axis specially came to find Laura. She wanted to invite Master Hanas back at first, but the concubine was obstructing him and dragged Master Chen and refused to leave. The life-threatening Master Chen really did not leave. Axis had to look for Laura again. She searched under the stage and couldn't find it. Fortunately, she had sharp eyes and good luck. Axis stepped forward and grabbed Laura's hand, almost crying: "Miss Laura, go to Hanas mansion to see, Madam can't figure out what to do in the bedroom! I called the doctor, but Madam didn't cooperate. A lot of blood! A lot of blood!" A
If Axis hadn't come to find Laura, she might have really fallen for it. As soon as Axis mentioned her suicide by cutting her veins, Laura immediately agreed to Axis's visit to Hanas's mansion. Although there was the freedom she had longed for a long time, the other side was Mrs. Vera's life. When Laura turned around, she realized that someone seemed to be following her all the time. She remembered that Dylan also said that he felt that he was being followed. If those who followed him were from the handsome mansion, wouldn't her escape plan leak earlier? She must have been caught in a run now. So she hurriedly took Axis and hid in a place where there was no one, gave Axis the coat and scarf, and asked her to find Jones, while she went to Hanas's mansion. When she arrived at Hanas Mansion, Mrs. Vera's wrist was still bleeding, but she was very stubborn and refused to let the doctor stitch or bandage her. She also had a knife for cutting the fruit in her hand, and as long as a doct
Laura didn't expect that as soon as Hanas Kie heard the word divorce, he became even angrier, and rushed over to hit someone without caring about anything. Mr. Hanas's meaning is obvious, he would rather let Mrs. Vera die than divorce, Mrs. Vera. Because in this era, it is considered a very shameful thing for a man to be asked for a divorce by a woman. Laura hurried over to stop her, but she was not the opponent of Hanas Kie. Fortunately, two attendants of Robert suddenly came in and forced Hanas Kie away. When Laura saw them coming to help, she was a little surprised. She thought that Robert was just here to pick her up and would not interfere. Laura looked out the door and found that Robert was still standing in the corridor and did not come in. There was only a dim wall lamp lit in the corridor, and it was difficult to see his expression. After being held by the attendant, Hanas Kie also looked back at Robert outside the door. Hanas Kie did not dare to make trouble in fro
When Laura arrived at the mansion in the evening, both Stephan and Maria were taken aback. Seeing that Laura was still wearing Robert's coat, Stephan thought that Robert was also coming, so he deliberately walked outside the mansion to greet him. Stephan and Laura are not siblings, Laura's mother is the principal, and Stephan is only a concubine's servant, so Stephan didn't have much contact with Mrs. Vera before. However, both Stephan and Maria knew that Laura had an aunt like Mrs. Vera, and they knew that Mrs. Vera was the wife of a teacher. Although they felt a little strange when they saw Mrs. Vera wrapped in gauze, they were also very attentive, Stephan also took the initiative to carry luggage for Mrs. Vera. They had reserved a bedroom for her in the mansion according to the instructions of taking care of Shuyao before, and Laura directly supported Mrs. Vera there. Stephan noticed that Laura was following Robert's people, so he went down to entertain them again. The he
Taking advantage of the civil war between the north and the south, Henry turned to Nolan, so he found an excuse to launch a strong attack on Samson and Lin North at the same time. After two days and three nights of fierce fighting, Samson was finally defended. That night, because of Henry's withdrawal, several lines of defense in Samson collapsed. It was James Egan who resisted alone and finally led the soldiers to charge with bayonets until the moment when the reinforcements came.The news that Samson guarded was sent to Lin North by secret telegram, and Robert himself translated the telegram. Seeing that Robert was holding the telegram and didn't say a word, Mr. Lang and the others thought there was another problem on Samson's side, "The Samson side is fine, more than 1,000 enemies were wiped out, and a lieutenant was captured alive." Everyone was worried about the situation on Samson’s side. Hearing Robert's words, they were relieved, and one by one showed a smile. , comment
What an astute person Robert is, he naturally understands what Laura means. Robert put down the pen in his hand and looked at Laura in disbelief. He had no hope. Laura didn't say anything anymore, but a smile spread her face. On this early winter night, it was as warm as a spring breeze. Robert looked at her, the corner of his mouth finally had a long-lost smile, and the two looked at each other and laughed. There was so much emotion in that smile that only they themselves understood. Robert suddenly remembered something, and quickly turned off the lamp and stood up, "It's so late, I haven't slept yet." Laura had been waiting for him to go to bed together, and she was afraid that he would burn out his body sooner or later if he kept going like this. Seeing that Robert had turned off the lamp, Laura also turned around and walked toward the bed. "Wait a minute." "What's wrong?" Laura turned around. As soon as she turned sideways, Robert hugged her horizontally and walked m
Laura was actually hesitating whether to find Gamma before. Gamma was going to the UK soon. Commander Elmer saw that there was not much time left, so Laura wanted to do something. Gamma invited Laura at this time, Laura was naturally willing, and she knew that Robert was too. Did Gamma meet Laura and Robert the day before going to the UK, or in her apartment. Although Robert didn't see Gamma during this time, he kept asking Dr. Smith to take care of her body. When he arrived at the apartment, Gamma was standing on the ladder and took off some paintings on the wall. Seeing Laura and Robert coming, Gamma turned around, full of joy: "You guys are here!" He went to greet the servants, "Mother Duane, serve tea." Gamma was still standing on the ladder, which was not short, Laura Afraid that she would fall from above, rushed over to help her. This is Robert's first visit to Gamma's house. Although a lot of oil paintings on the walls of the living room have been taken off, Robert'
"Who is it?" Aunt fifth was stunned for a moment and repeated it unconsciously. What did he mean? The fifth concubine looked at Laura alertly and then went to look at Joel. Just now, he clearly said that the person had already brought it back. Now, how could Robert react like this? Is it because Laura is here, and Robert has some scruples? The fifth concubine hated that Robert treated Laura like this, so she deliberately looked at Laura and smiled at Robert: "Laura is generous, don't people have to take it back sooner or later? Now that the room is tidied up, the old lady is looking forward to her. Come back." Zelda saw that Robert was still indifferent, and the fifth concubine was too picky and said: "If you pick it up earlier, maybe you can open branches and leaves for our Elmer family earlier, just as Laura was born..." Although Laura did not want to talk to Laura the aunt had common knowledge, but she didn't expect that she began to sprinkle salt on the wound again. The re
Although Robert did not invite outsiders, it was Robert's birthday after all, and ambassadors from Britain, the United States, and other countries sent congratulatory gifts. However, the war between the Low army and the Japanese army just stopped half a year ago, and Japan is too reckless. However, since the Japanese ambassadors have all arrived at the door, they have to see what medicine they sell in the gourd. Laura raised his head and glanced at Robert, and he just happened to look down at her. The eyes met for a moment, but it was enough to understand that they were thinking of the same thing. In the face of such a major event related to the family and the country, he has never let her down. "Bring in, search first." Laura held Robert's hand to entertain other guests, and the Japanese ambassador came in shortly after. Nozawa Jinsaku, Robert was on remand, and the ambassador who came this time was also an acquaintance. Ishihara was a student of Tanaka Aomoto. He had been
Hearing Robert say this, Laura couldn't help laughing. The corners of her mouth curled up, her lips were red and her teeth were white so that people only wanted to kiss him, but as soon as Robert approached, she pushed him away, "Smell of smoke, go take a bath first!"Things naturally agreed. The military academy is about to recruit students this month, and he just came back from the meeting. The generals in the room had smoked an unknown amount of cigarettes. The smell of smoke on his body was indeed too strong. Robert took the nightgown from the closet and went to the bathroom. Laura turned over and lay on the bed with his pillow on his back. Looking at his back, he said, "Robert, smoke less in the future." Robert had already walked to the bathroom door and turned around. Glancing at her, he said "um". Laura paused and added: "It's not good for your health." Laura actually remembered the last time he asked him to quit smoking. At that time, she said that smoking is not good fo
Laura didn't expect that the fifth concubine told her this. The fifth concubine said that Robert had often spent the night in a woman's apartment this month. Isn't that what she was talking about? Just listening to the fifth concubine's tone, the fifth concubine doesn't seem to know who that person is. That's right if Mrs. Elmer and the fifth concubine knew that Robert had moved to her place, how could they stop? Seeing that Laura kept silent, the fifth concubine said: "Laura, Robert is going to bring someone back this time, please don't..." Laura interrupted her with a smile, and said casually, "I know about this." "You do you know?" The fifth concubine felt unbelievable and asked again. Laura smiled and looked at the slightly embarrassed fifth concubine, and nodded affirmatively. In this way, the fifth concubine was even more surprised. She was not only surprised that Laura knew about this matter but Laura's tone and turbulence. She really didn't care. The fifth concubi
At the same time when Laura saw Robert, Robert also saw her, but he neither avoided nor was surprised, but also walked toward her. Robert was so open and didn't look like he was smashed by her at all, Laura felt strange, hesitated for a while, and then went to meet him, wondering: "Why are you here?" Robert glanced at her and said in a light tone, "I'm coming to you." Looking for her at the door of Gamma's house is a bit far-fetched. . Laura looked at Robert suspiciously. There was no one in Gamma's family just now, and he appeared here at the moment. Is there some connection between these two things? Could it be that Robert has already met Gamma, where is Gamma now? Laura just wanted to ask Robert about Gamma's whereabouts, but she heard someone calling her from behind, and the voice was trembling. Laura could hear that person's voice, and when she looked back, it really was Gamma. Although Gamma called Laura's name, her eyes were always on Robert, and a thin layer of tea
After Laura returned from that Gamma, she had been waiting for Robert in the apartment. She knew that she had to talk to him about this matter, and she couldn't avoid it. In the morning, Laura had already met Robert's attendant at the door of Gamma's house. Presumably, Robert also knew that she went to Gamma. However, Laura was also very uneasy in her heart. She didn't know what the outcome of this conversation would be. After all, Robert was already unhappy in the morning. When Robert came home at night, his face was always sullen. Laura prepared a table of dishes waiting for him, and they were all his favorite dishes. However, Robert didn't seem to have any appetite. He looked tired, didn't even think about the dishes, and ate dinner with a lot of thought. Seeing that Robert had been silent, Laura put some dishes into the bowl for him, and took the initiative to talk to him, "Do you like this, do you like it?" Robert smiled and asked, "Why do you cook so many dishes today?
