Chapter 6

Robert was almost fooled back here. Laura doesn't know if Robert is busy with military affairs, or if he's deliberately dodging. Finally, Aunt Six personally went out, lying that she was worried because she hadn't seen him back in a long time, in a restless person. Robert's mother died at an early age, he was raised by grandmother Elmer and was very close to her so she agreed to go back to the government. This time, Aunt Vera was more attentive and in the early morning brought a maid to change her clothes and makeup.

Aunt Vera said: "Auntie Six told him that she was sick in bed. To do the same, she also informs family members and other senior officials, who often come into contact with each other."

"Why did you call so many people here?"

Aunt Vera laughed, "Also an old pervert who l es to be turbulent, called wanting to play mahjong. Aunt Six wills are intentional, taking advantage of so many people, and letting the old lady admit her own identity. They're all wives of senior generals in Low city, and our young commanders are our faces anyway. ”

What a good plan! She was a little surprised.

However, she also had her plans, and she won’t panic. Just quietly, every group of people cleaning up. Aunt Vera bought her some new clothes this time. But after Laura glanced around, she was still a little disappointed. The women of the Folk Dynasty who Laura remembered were either slimy and graceful gray ribbed dresses, or plain and pleasant white moon student dresses, but when they reached her, they were all heavy old-fashioned coats and skirts.

She chores and coat, although the style was older the colors were fresher. After the two maids were busy, they served Laura, who eventually put fastened a button on her chest, helping her brush her head in front of the makeup brush.

She looked at herself in the mirror, the hair in front of her forehead, the hair behind the bush, and a small flower in her hair. The type of dress with a coat and skirt on it is not uga ly but gives people a kind of weird old-fashioned bas-relief, like the little daughter-in-law in the Chinese people's TV series.

She used to put on a little makeup before she went to work, looking both delicate and stylish. Considering her appearance, she has a very beautiful appearance. A big round eye full of life, a smile like a flower, if well-dressed, is also an eight- to the nine-part aesthetic in modern times. Now that you're dressed like this ...

She suddenly remembered something, suddenly crouched her head down, and after careful examination, she breathed a sigh of relief that unfortunately was not tights!

Mrs. Vera thought that Laura was looking at the new embroidered shoes, so she smiled when she got up, made her walk, and did not stop exclaiming: "It is so beautiful, freshly dressed, and gentle. What kind of a man doesn't like? ”

She said and lowered her voice in her ear: “This time you don't make the young master angry. He's angry. I'm gonna go talk to him a little bit. Everything will be over. Didn't the old man say it was okay for a couple to fight at the bedside?”

Laura didn't want to talk too much with Robert.”

She said," Aunt, I haven't even married him yet. "

Aunt Vera looked at Laura even more unhappy." Not married, not married, but if he touches you already, it's hard to forget. You can't marry anyone anymore. "

This era is still the same as before. Starvation is a small thing, but a big loss. If you use your purity like this, it's almost impossible to marry a decent family. However, Laura did not care, she established herself at a young age, when she was this age, she had carried her suitcase to study abroad for a long time. She never need to depend on anyone, and marriage is not essential to her.

Of course, she could not tell anyone these words, it was better to discourage Robert to think, but conveniently cancel the marriage contract. Anyway, through this type of affair, it would be unreasonable to continue talking wildly, who would believe it?

However, Laura believes that he has a great chance of winning. In the newspaper that Tran gave her last time, in addition to the news, she also found a tabloid newspaper that r, specialized in publishing the peach of this era. However, Robert has achieved remarkable achievements, prominent, young, promising, and just returned from school, so he is naturally the most reported by the tabloid reporters. However, the content over and over again, either says that he and one of his secretaries are worthy of the same age, or that he is always fond of the female spirit of silver, and the relationship between the two is not normal.

　Whatever you like, because you have someone you like, you must be willing to break your engagement with her, if not, when you were not married, what did you do? Perhaps staying out of sight at this stage is forcing her to speak first. Thinking like that, Laura did not fear seeing him.

　Robert will be back tonight and will stay overnight here. Laura doesn’t know how long it's gonna be. Does she still have to sleep with him? Is it like what Auntie Six said about having another baby next year?

Laura has a headache after thinking about it, and it's best to move out of this house tonight. Just cancel the marriage contract, she can go to Vera's villa for one night, then leave there with the reason of returning home. When she does it, she'll be truly free. Laura still has a small amount of money and silver jewejewelryn live for a while and then, she can find another way out. Although she may not get the same high salary with simultaneous translation work as before, she has read in the press that some companies in this era also employ educated female employees. Although the salary is not high, there are only a few oceans in a month, but it is also possible to feed yourself.

　But will Robert agree because he cares about grandmother Elmer? Laura can't manage that much anymore. In the evening, Laura looked for excuses to go back to her bedroom to pack her things, she picked up some of her usual clothes, packed them with money, and then packed up her luggage. Although the color of the luggage was outdated, the bag was inflated and fit closed.

　　As soon as Laura was about to hide her parcel, Aunt Vera opened the door and found her, "Laura and Auntie Six are both in the living room. Everyone is waiting for you."

　　Laura didn't want to tell Aunt Vera first, so she hid her suitcase behind the sofa, and if nothing happened, she said, "Aunt Vera, I'm going downstairs to find you."

　　Laura followed Aunt Vera downstairs. Seeing that many people had arrived, the bright lights shone throughout the living room. There is a mahjong table in the middle of the living room itself. She's wearing reading glasses. She's sitting with some women playing mahjong. Auntie Six is also one of them. In addition to some people sitting on one side watching cards, there are also some people chatting. They're all fancy-dressed ladies, and some of them have trendy push-up curls.

　"I'm late, I'm late, make the old lady wait a long time, I'm sorry ..." Aunt Vera is constantly apologizing.

　Aunt Six had just turned her head when she heard the noise, laughing loudly: “Grandmother Elmer, hurry up, your niece-in-law is here!”

Aunt Six was in a good mood, seeing Laura come. She put on her glasses and smiled and said hello, she went forward. It was only when Laura came forward that she noticed dozens of eyes piling towards her, in which there were all kinds of curious and surprised expressions, they stared at her lower abdomen intentionally or unintentionally.

Earlier news that she was pregnant was hidden by Robert, her grandmother only told James Egan, also because he had sympathy with Robert. However, in this world there has never been a wall that does not break, especially when she jumped into the river like that, the news that she got pregnant and jumped into the river was true. This kind of fake indistinguishable anecdote is easy to become after dinner.

Ms. Laura was very annoyed to be looked at like that, she had to laugh shyly. The old woman did not understand why her face was dull, suddenly becoming gloomy.

“Oh, Miss Laura came, I forgot to play the card…” Miss Six suddenly laughed and said, she gave a “forty thousand”, coincidentally she had just told the old lady. 　　

Laura also got acquainted and quietly walked away from the mahjong table. She heard a servant say that the food at the restaurant was ready, but it hadn't been served without her grandmother's orders, it didn't seem like Robert and the other women had arrived yet, and the wait was very boring, so they had just moved out of the table. The mahjong is to entertain first.

Laura doesn't know anyone, she wants to go to Aunt Vera, but she sees that she is talking to someone else. Looking at the seriousness on their faces, they must be talking about something important. He was a little inconvenient to walk in, but she vaguely heard something, as if it were a home birth. She began to think that she wanted her to have a baby, but then she was surprised. It wasn't until later that she learned that Aunt Vera herself had never had children. Everyone has their difficulties, especially women, especially in this era.

The heating system in the living room is working, Laura feels the room is so stuffy and hot, probably not only because of the heater, but also because of the atmosphere in the room. Going away, she found a door that could go out to breathe.

Not knowing where to go, he left the living room and went out to the hall alone. The glass window by the corridor condensed a white mist, she was bored, wanting to look away so she directly reached for the mist on the glass.

　Outside the Western-style building to the sound of the car engine stops, Laura heard the noise looking out, only to see that a black Ford was parked not far away. The snow grew and grew, and it snowed thickly, covering him with a thin layer of pale white. Under the dim lights of the car, there was a woman in short fox fur holding a black umbrella, as if waiting for someone. The slender woman, her face palpable, her look a little familiar as if she had seen it somewhere, but she couldn't remember it!

　　Oh! Oh! She suddenly took a breath, it turned out to be the other woman! She was the beauty in that vague memory, finally found her. Maybe she's the key to getting Laura through here.

　She got a little excited, hurried across the hall, turned right, and walked out quickly. The guards on either side didn't stop her, but she forgot how many steps were still at the door. She too worried, stepped up but did not think that sesame should fall, but unexpectedly fell into a hard and strange chest. At the same time, the smell of cigarettes and the smell of gunpowder enveloped her. The man with his back straightened, chest like a brass wall or iron wall, did not budge at all, then stretched his hand shortly to stabilize her waist. In a panic, she had no time to identify, only saw the snowflake falling on the cold shoulder of the man's blue uniform.

　　Laura was worried about the other woman because Laura was afraid that she would come out of nowhere and not see her. So she didn't notice who she bumped into, and after politely saying "thank you", she pushed the person in front of her and directly ignored him.

　　But after only two steps, her arm was held tight. Laura turned her head, the man who was there. She stood on the steps looking up at him, who was an extremely handsome young man, dressed in uniform, wearing boots hind him as a large band of stars in the snowy night, hovering down like snowflakes. Under the general's hat, cold eyes looked at her softly, and eyebrows filled with coldness.

　　Before Laura was finished, the two lines of guards standing outside the door suddenly stood still and raised their guns to greet her, making straight, neat movements, like lightning hitting across the sky, shouting loudly.

"Marshal!"
