"Did you have a good time, Esther?"
Esther into Arthur's arms, coquetry: "happy, very happy, the city take good care of me, I seem to be fat."
"Is it?" Arthur smiles and picks her up. "It's like it is, little girl."
Rubbing his hair, Arthur said, "father's back."
"Dad?" Esther was surprised. "Where is he?"
"In the hall."
Daddada's footsteps were rapid, and basil looked back and saw his clever little princess running towards him with a smile.
"Esther." With open arms, basil hugs her little princess.
"Dad! I miss you so much
Basil touched ice's hair and said with a smile, "it seems that my princess is doing well."
"Well, I'm fine. Where's dad?"
"Good, too."
Then, baijingcheng followed Arthur in.
Bazer took a look at baijingcheng and didn't say much.
Brother Yicheng has told his father what he thought.
"Come to the study with your brother. Dad has something to tell you."
"Father Arthur frowned. Somehow, the voice was a little urgent. "Esther has just come back. Let her have a good rest. What's the matter? I'll talk about it later. "
Basil looked at Arthur, half ring, let go: "OK, Esther, go to rest, you must be tired all the way."
"All right."
Take ace back to his room, and Shirai follows Arthur to his room.
Arthur sat in front of the bar, poured himself a glass of wine, and asked baijingcheng, "would you like a glass?"
"No Then he asked, "what are you hiding from me?"
Arthur sneered and sipped his wine. "Have you changed your mood when you go out with ice?"
“……”
"It looks like, no?"
Baijingcheng is still silent.
Arthur put down his glass and stood up. "I have nothing to say to you. Go and have a rest."
Coming out of Arthur's room, baijingcheng felt uneasy, which seemed to be the result of his own creation.
Basil comes back, and in the evening, Esther and Arthur dine with him.
From time to time, laughter and laughter came from the restaurant, and Beth was coquettish and cute, which made Basil's mouth shut.
"Our princess is still like a little girl."
"No, Dad, I'm 18 years old. I've grown up."
"Yes, when Princess grows up, she can get married."
"Father." Arthur is like someone stepped on his tail.
His brother was very worried that night. He didn't say it. It was strange.
"What's the matter with you, brother?"
"I'm fine." Arthur said, putting down his knife and fork.
Basil took the tissue and wiped the corners of his mouth. He looked at Izzy with a smile. "Izzy, come to Dad's study later. Dad has something to say to you."
"All right."
Esther was sure of him, and answered with a smile.
Arthur put his hands under the table and clenched his fist.
Study.
"Get married?" Gazing at Basil's back in amazement, ACE said in a low voice, "Dad, what are you talking about?"
Basil turned and looked at her. "IZ, you've grown up. Dad told you about it. Don't be nervous. You've seen each other, Yoshino Qianyu."
How could it be him?!
"You say, do you say Yoshino?"
"Yes, you have, haven't you?"
“…… Yes Gas if gossamer spit out a word, the whole person is ignorant.
It was after seeing Jesse's miserable marriage that she suddenly asked her to marry.
She was terrified.
This day is coming so soon.
"Yoshino Qianyu is a few years older than you. He is very stable and trustworthy. After discussing with Yoshino's father, my father thinks you are very suitable."
"Is it suitable for us, or is the interest of Yoshino family suitable for you?" Bitter voice, immediately by Basil's rebuke.
"Esther! Do you know what you're talking about? "
I didn't expect that my daughter, who is always clever and sensible, would say such words in front of him.
Bazer was shocked, but at the same time, she felt guilty for what she said.
Esther lowered her head, tears like broken beads.
Suddenly, the door of the study was pushed open.
Turn to see, she wronged toward the people running past.
Arthur hugs his sister and looks at basil.
Basil turned to the sofa and said nothing.
"Don't cry, Esther."
"Brother." "I don't want to, I don't want to," said ace, shaking his head helplessly"I know." Heartache to the extreme, he stroked her hair, wipe her tears, "darling, you go out first, I talk to my father."
Ice nodded and ran out quickly.
"Father."
"You know, it won't change."
Arthur clenched his fist and said in a deep voice, "I know, but I wonder if I can postpone the marriage."
"Arthur, it's no use. Esther has to marry Yoshino."
"Father, I just don't think it's appropriate to let Esther get married now. Second, Yoshino is 18 years old. She doesn't know our family very well
What Arthur's words mean, basil knows.
After thinking about it carefully, he finally nodded, "then do as you say, but I say again, ISI must marry Yoshino family, must marry Yoshino Qianyu."
"Dong Dong."
"Come in."
Arthur came in.
He wiped his eyes and knelt down on the bed. "Brother."
Standing at the edge of the bed, he put his hand up and touched her eyelids.
"Brother." Esther rubbed the back of Arthur's hand, as he had done as a child.
Their mother died early, and their father was busy with politics, so they grew up together.
"Esther, cherish your time with baijingcheng."
Suddenly, his eyes widened. He couldn't believe it.
Arthur held her in his arms. "I'm sorry, Esther. You know, we, we never have the right to choose."
As she closed her eyes, tears ran down the corner of her eyes. "Brother, can't you, can't you help me? Please
She begged him.
It's like gouging out his heart with a knife.
But there was nothing he could do.
Patting ace on the shoulder, Arthur said, "ace, be strong."
At last, ice began to laugh with bitterness on her face.
It turned out that she was the same way.
The same road as Jesse.
There's no escape.
"I see, brother. I want to be alone for a while, OK?"
"Well." Arthur kisses her on the forehead and turns away.
Esther sat down for a while, then suddenly went down barefoot, opened the door and rushed out.
Baijingcheng felt that the bed behind him collapsed. Before he turned back, he was hugged.
He asked softly, "why haven't you slept yet?"
"I miss you. I want to sleep with you," he said with a smile
"You came here barefoot?"
"I, I forgot to put on my shoes."
Bai Jingcheng suddenly sat up. In a hurry, he grabbed his wrist and said, "city?"
"Be honest." He low scold a, "know cool, you still barefoot run about."
But she didn't know how empty the smile was, and her eyes were swollen.
You don't have to guess. I cried at first sight.
But she didn't say it and he didn't ask.
Feet in his arms warm up, hot.
"Don't move, eh?"
He sat up, took baijingcheng's finger, looked at his beautiful eyes, and whispered, "city, just once."
"Think..."
"Please, let me be your woman, just once. I want to be your woman. One time is fine
