Chapter 2217

"... I'll go back and get my Madeleine Cake now. What do you think? Is anyone ready to join me? "

Arthur's words are light and simple, not too farcical, but with a little ridicule, so it's easy to make the atmosphere of the entrance relaxed.

The dispute between Edith and Chris broke out and disappeared in a flash. Everything was like a turbulent undercurrent under the Arctic Ocean, and none of them was sure how things would go - because no one was 100% sure about war or death.

Andre tries to ease the atmosphere, but at this moment the scene is very sensitive. He is not sure whether his mouth is appropriate. At the moment of hesitation, Arthur opens his mouth, which is really the best; This let Andrea secretly relieved, and Eaton exchange a line of sight, but found that both people are a little nervous.

On the contrary, Edith, as the client, was not so careful. She seemed to think of something, and her smile bloomed in the corner of her mouth.

Everyone was a little bit frightened - although Arthur's humor was good, it didn't make people laugh. Edith's mood was too intense, which was not a good thing.

Edith noticed this, because in the past, everyone used to treat her like a fragile glass doll, and she didn't like it very much; But deep down, she also knows that she needs help and that she is not normal now, which makes her trapped in a dilemma.

Only Langley and Arthur are different. Randy's calmness, Arthur's jest, and even the concern in her eyes were as usual, with the special alienation and caution of the hall family. In such a scene, Edith couldn't help laughing, as if she saw a fox break in at the party——

The description is a bit subtle, but it's really the picture that comes to her mind.

"Arthur, are you sure you don't need to shave before having afternoon tea? I seriously think that your beard might soak in black tea, like a broom. " Edith couldn't stop smiling. She looked at Arthur's untidy beard intermittently and happily.

Arthur's head is covered with black lines. "Rough, it's called rough! It's a natural quality without decoration, understand? It's popular now! "

As a matter of fact, it's perfectly normal to have beards, and all kinds of beards are a kind of style; But the problem is that the beard also needs to be taken care of. If you don't take care of anything, it's not the shape but the slovenness. What's more, Arthur's slovenness is far from his usual image. It's so funny.

Edith couldn't resist, "Arthur, you look like you've lived under the tower bridge for two months."

Arthur gritted his teeth. "Hey, hey! That lady, even so, I'm still charming, OK? "

The familiar scenes of the hall family came back again, and Edith seemed to be completely adapted to it, which made the melon eating people standing nearby enjoy it. Obviously, such a "private" bustle can't be seen every day.

Looking at the two people making a lot of noise and fun like children, lanli finally came out - they can't stand at the door and talk all the time, can they?

Then, Lan Li interjected, "as the host, I've been named. It's definitely not a way of hospitality. Well, let's go to the living room now. "

"Since we went to the living room, why were we in the study just now?" Andre's head is full of question marks.

"How can I remember that at first, lanli was sitting in the study, then who came in and asked what happened, so I went in with him."

"It's me. I went to ask Langley about the details of Edith's return. Why did you follow me?"

"I don't know. I thought the host was there, so I would meet him there. But the question is, why didn't Philip stop us? "

"So... We just sat in the study foolishly? There are so many people on the scene today, but no one is aware that something is wrong? Are you sure Langley won't explain? "

The chatter of discussion is like the white spray of the gold coast, wave by wave, gently kissing the feet of red fruit. The soft and delicate sand leaves some traces between the toes, a little itching and a little warmth. The body muscles and brain nerves slowly relax, and it seems that the sound of waves can be heard in the ear, Even the cold and haze outside the gate are dissipating.

Arthur left the line and went to the guest room on the second floor, ready to take good care of his beard. Such a slovenly image really hurt his reputation.

But lanli's steps fall behind. When Edith and Chris pass by, he is ready to step, but he doesn't expect Edith to stop and turn around.

The blue Li raised eyebrow tail, toward Yi Di Si threw to doubt of vision.

Edith stood still in front of lanli and kept silent for a moment - Edith was not worried, and lanli was even less worried. Only Chris stood beside him in fog, and he missed the opportunity to react. He didn't know that he should leave and let them have a private exchange; It's better to stay, hold your breath and pretend you don't exist. Then, Chris's big, strong body curled up unconsciously, trying to pretend that he was a little transparent.

Otherwise, what else can he do? He was helpless, too.

"So... Are you so sure that nothing will happen to me?" In the end, Edith couldn't hold back.

Blue Li showed a smile, "there is an old saying in China called: good people do not live long, harm left thousands of years."

"..." Edith wanted to scold rude words. She wanted to be moved, but she was hit hard by Lan Li. But after a short period of chagrin, she began to laugh——

This is Langley. In the darkest, most difficult and most confused time, she didn't know whether she could escape from the sky, and she didn't know whether she had a chance to see the sun tomorrow. She thought a lot of things in her mind. She thought of Chris, but she couldn't guess his thoughts and state. The uncertainty made her unable to continue. Then she thought of Langley and Arthur, She could be sure that they were still waiting for themselves, no matter what they turned out to be.

They will still stand in place and wait for themselves.

That belief, supporting her step by step close to the dawn of hope, every minute is suffering, but she finally succeeded in sticking to it.

Sure enough, she saw Raleigh and Arthur again.

thank you. She wanted to say. Those words of thanks and moving were wandering in her mind. She thought she had countless words to express, but when she really stood in front of Lan Li, she found that her mind was blank. She couldn't even say "thank you" and didn't know what to do.

She is just simply happy, they still stay in the same place, they still keep the light of their home, they still open their arms to welcome their return. She never knew that she would one day thank the surname "Hall".

"Don't worry, you should live longer than me." Edith winked at lenley, and it seemed that her cunning never changed, even though there was a wound deep in her eyes that could not be concealed.

After that, Edith was worried that lanli would be in trouble again, and ran away with little steps.

As a result, Chris was "forgotten" in the corner. He didn't realize Edith's abacus at all, and then he was left in the same place foolishly. Deep in his heart, he kept shouting: don't pay attention to me, don't pay attention to me, don't pay attention to me... But he just watched lenley slowly move his eyes and directly locked him.

Chris hardened his head, lowered his eyes and pointed to the void beside him. "I... Er, that... I need to go and have a look. Yes, that's it... "I didn't know what I was talking about, but I ran away in a panic, before Lan Li was in trouble.

Lanli stood in the same place, waiting for Chris to walk away. The smile at the bottom of his eyes slowly surged up, revealing a trace of joy that could not be concealed. It was mixed with bitterness and sadness, but it was still light and happy after all

Edith, back.

……

Until nightfall, that sense of reality precipitated with the temperature.

In the past five weeks, nothing seems to have happened. He just made a movie, and Edith just went out to finish a job. Today is the day when Edith officially returns. All those thrilling and ups and downs are just a dream.

However, after calming down, the fear and panic began to bite back - fierce and strong, so that people did not have any power to fight back; But it is precisely this fear, the doubts and worries about the present moment, the doubts and timidity about the reality and dreams, that makes the facts extremely real.

Langley began to fear, because he knew that it was not a dream, but a reality. Fear because of reality: just a little bit, Edith may never come back.

"Twenty five cents for what you're thinking."

There was a voice in the study, and Lan Li suddenly raised his head. Then he realized that he didn't notice Edith entering the study at all. He was a little distracted.

Tonight, Edith stayed in the prince's Garden - Arthur also stayed. Chris didn't object. Although he was very eager to have time alone with Edith, it should be their night, after struggling and hesitating, Chris still couldn't speak to express his opposition. He could only tell himself that there was a long way to go, Now Edith needs to stay with her family more. Even if she doesn't give up, Chris leaves.

"I thought you were resting." Langley evaded Edith's question and threw out another one.

Edith sat down on the sofa opposite Langley and was about to speak when she saw Arthur sticking his head out of the door? I'm going to have a whisky. You're welcome. How about that? "
