Chapter 1989 Are You Teaching Me How to Do Things?

The little mood of the Condras did not affect the progress of the dinner at all.

Pearl sipped the cherry cider in front of her.

It's spiked with whiskey and diluted with lots of cherry juice and granulated sugar.

It tastes a little weird, but it doesn't taste bad, but it feels addictive.

"Pearl, do you have anyone in mind for your second dance?"

Frances ignored her father's embarrassed expression and started chatting with Pearl.

The first dance must have belonged to her father, Mr. Charlie.

This is also the custom at banquets. The first dance will be reserved for the closest person of the opposite sex.

If the father is absent, he will be replaced by uncles, etc., unless all the men in the family are dead, or the purpose is to form a marriage.

Only then will the first dance be given to the target of your choice.

"Lyle, I've already made an agreement with him." Pearl responded casually.

Lyle?

Frances was full of questions, which family the young master belonged to? How come she had never heard of him.

"Lyle is her playmate. He lives near the dock. He is not a descendant of a powerful family."

Li Zitao explained to her.

An ordinary boy? Frances didn't understand.

It seems that both Mr. Charlie and Ms. Mary are aware of and accept the boy's existence.

What's special about him is that he is recognized by the Li family.

The second dance at the bar mitzvah.

A boy from an ordinary family...

Frances suddenly sympathized with him and prayed for him silently in her heart.

I'm afraid not only him, but even Parr himself doesn't understand.

What does the second dance at a bar mitzvah mean?

Should I give her a warning?

Frances looked at Li Zitao and noticed his smiling expression.

Quietly gave up his thoughts.

Perhaps, this is a deliberate obstacle set up by the Lees for Pearl!

Just to cut off the bond between her and the boy.

If this is the case, his behavior will only make the two of them unhappy.

Frances, who was about to become a bride, didn't want to create complications at this important moment.

If it affects her wedding, she will really cry to death.

The banquet ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Li Zitao stopped Mason who was about to leave: "Mason, come with me."

Looking at his wife, mother and others, Mason followed his father to the study in the corridor.

"Close the door, we have to talk!" Li Zitao walked straight to the wine cabinet.

It had been a long time since he had indulged in drinking.

It's rare to be happy today, he needs to drink a few more drinks...

"Father, do you have something to tell me?" Mason found a seat and sat down.

"Don't be so impatient. Do you want another drink?" Li Zitao asked, holding up the crystal bottle containing whiskey.

"No, I already drank a lot of wine during dinner!" Mason shook his head and refused.

"What a pity, these are my private collection." Li Zitao smiled and sat across from him holding a wine glass.

"I didn't call you here for anything important. I just wanted to talk about your current situation. Are you okay?"

Seeing that he was slightly confused, Li Zitao continued: "I know that after becoming a prince, your movements and freedom will be restricted."

"This is just a father's concern for his son!" Li Zitao could see the suspicion in his eyes.

I stay alone in London all year round. Apart from a few deputies I brought with me, there are not many people I can trust.

It is understandable that the suspicion has increased.

Moreover, this is also one of the costs of growth.

more grown, more lonely.

When you reach a certain age, the people around you who can tell the truth seem to disappear overnight.

"I'm doing fine," Mason responded.

"Although freedom is restricted, it is only for those parts that may affect the image of the country and the royal family. At other times, it is free!"

"Including those endless political performances of sympathy?" Li Zitao asked rhetorically.

Mason was speechless.

As everyone knows, no one likes endless political theatrics and official condolences.

There are endless conversations with false greetings.

The endless red tape, those fake smiles, and the hidden attacks behind the scenes.

Anyone like these?

Maybe people who are born politicians and want to make a difference in politics will like it.

But not including Mason, who was not very interested in politics.

If it weren't for his relationship with Elizabeth, maybe he would prefer to be a farmer.

There is a ranch where you ride horses and herd sheep every day.

Occasionally take the children to the river to fish, or play and exercise on the grass...

In fact, every time I go to the countryside for vacation.

These are the happiest times for Mason and the children, but the burden on Elizabeth is too heavy.

As her husband, Mason couldn't turn a blind eye.

There was no way she could bear it alone.

"How is your relationship with Elizabeth?" This is the key to the question.

As long as their relationship is still there, other problems and obstacles can be perfectly resolved.

This is the cornerstone of the relationship between the two, because when they first met each other when they were young, there was no connection of interest involved.

Those are questions for adults to consider.

Therefore, feelings are also an important bond and cornerstone between them.

Rather than the initial combination of two people like Li Zitao and Mary, it was a combination of emotional interests.

In fact, the proportion of interests is higher than feelings.

There is a big difference between the two in this regard. What Mary can understand may not be what Elizabeth can understand.

What's more, her status requires more respect and honor.

Sometimes the burden of being a member of the royal family prevents her from making any compromises.

Even if you know it in your heart, the problem can be solved satisfactorily with just a small concession.

But she just can't...

"There will be some conflicts in life and differences in opinions, but they will all be resolved satisfactorily in the end."

When Mason mentioned this, the smile and sincerity in his eyes were convincing.

"That's good." Li Zitao nodded and smiled.

He leaned back and drank the whiskey from his glass.

They both seemed to be waiting for the other to speak.

However, old ginger is still spicier.

In the end, Mason couldn't hold it back, "Father, can I know what you think about the shares?"

Li Zitao guessed that he would ask, but he didn't want it to happen.

It seemed that his arrangement for Pearl gave him other thoughts.

You can imagine how intense other people's thoughts will be.

"It's just that there will be strict requirements and restrictions on her future arrangements and the future inheritance and arrangements of the shares."

"Even if she doesn't have shares, she doesn't need to worry about money. Isn't that the purpose of establishing a family fund?"

"Are you teaching me how to do something?" Li Zitao asked with a serious look on his face.

He just left some shares to his daughter and promised to make restrictions and restrictions.

Because of his face-to-face questioning.

So, does he think he's old, or does he feel jealous because he doesn't get enough?
