Chapter 198 Mother

"Your Excellency the Grand Duke." Sending Adelaide back to the room, Li Zitao came to the study where they met last time. The Grand Duke sat behind the desk to handle official business.

swish swish——

The sound of the pen scratching across the paper sounded from time to time, and the Grand Duke raised his head only after reinserting the nib into the ink bottle.

Looking at it, Li Zitao was already sitting on the sofa at some point, with his legs crossed, leisurely tasting the coffee served by the maid.

"...you are going to Holland tomorrow?" asked the Grand Duke.

"Yes, Sasha communicated with Her Majesty the Queen via telegram." Li Zitao nodded with a smile.

"Take that crown away, I think the Queen will like it." When the Grand Duke said that, he was overjoyed.

This is tantamount to changing his promise to him and Adelaide.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency." Li Zitao stopped crossing his legs, put down his teacup, stood up and bowed his head and said.

"That's not my generosity, it's yours." After a pause, he pondered for a moment, "I hope you won't let Mary down."

It was very difficult for the Grand Duke to agree to their marriage.

But how far the two of them have developed in recent days, the Grand Duke has a clear answer in his heart.

She only hoped that Mary's eyes were not mistaken.

"She is my wife." Li Zitao didn't want to make any touching promises, this sentence was enough to explain his attitude.

"I wish you a pleasant journey." That night, for the first time, the atmosphere of the dinner was as harmonious as a family.

Adelaide, who had been sulking with her mother before, was called to the study by the Grand Duke after dinner.

When he came back, he threw himself into his arms with red eyes, and whispered: "Charlie, you will love me forever, won't you?"

"Yes, I will love you until I die." With a passionate kiss, there was a tumbling sound in the room, making the little Mary at the door put away her fists that wanted to knock on the door.

"Bastard, can't you restrain yourself?" Muttering speechlessly, little Mary stomped her feet and left.

...

The next day, the Grand Duke's family personally sent them to the station in the early morning.

Adelaide hugged her mother and whispered for a while, and finally got into the car with red eyes.

"Hey, honey, we can come back at any time, this is not life or death." Waving goodbye, until the figure turned into tiny black dots, Li Zitao turned around and teased her with a smile.

"You don't understand this kind of feeling!" After casting a sidelong glance at him, Adelaide lay down on the chair and closed her eyes in a low mood.

On this trip, they will take a train through Belgium to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, where they will be summoned by the Queen.

...

Li Zitao hadn't finished his trip yet, but the shooting of the Kendy family was touching the hearts of everyone who paid attention.

All leads were broken a week ago, and unless his sister can be found, no one will know who did it.

But in the hearts of those who are interested, the behind-the-scenes instructions for this matter are clear.

Rumors about Li Zitao's plan for this incident spread unknowingly among the upper class circles in the United States.

"This kind of speculation without any evidence is an insult to my boss, Mr. Charlie. Here I will seriously warn those who have ulterior motives.

No matter what your purpose is, once I know who you are, lawyer letters will fill your mailbox. "

The serious protest of the Minister of Justice, Saliev, confirmed this speculation even more.

If he didn't do it, why would he hold a press conference so solemnly to defend himself after hearing these gossip messages.

So in everyone's mind, they put this matter on Li Zitao's head.

"Saliyev, your performance is getting more and more beautiful, maybe I should suggest that BOSS send you to Hollywood, and you will definitely get the statuette."

Inside the think tank, Ben and Saliev sat at a small round table, drinking beer relaxedly.

"Ben, next time you should try it yourself, I hate this feeling." Saliev said helplessly.

"Forget it! I'm going home to tease my two little angels, whose mother is going crazy.

"

Thinking of his wife's change after giving birth, Ben couldn't help scratching his head.

Since giving birth to the two little princesses, Joanna has become sensitive, irritable, and irritable, and has become intolerable to some trivial things.

It felt like a different person from the inside out, and it felt strange to Ben.

"Hey, friend, you should understand how a mother feels, she just needs time to adapt to this change." Saliev patted him on the shoulder sympathetically.

"Hey!" Sighing, Ben put the bottle on the table and drove home.

"Honey, I'm back." Opening the door, Ben heard her daughter's clear cry.

"God, Ben, help me, they're spitting up, oh god..." Joanna's anxious voice came.

Putting the leather bag aside, frowning helplessly at the bodyguard behind him, Ben closed the door and walked upstairs quickly.

"Let me take a look." Ben hugged his daughter clumsily, and carefully cleaned the milk stains from the corners of her mouth, "We should ask the nanny to help them."

"But they are always messy. Mrs. Taylor next door told me that her children were abused by servants when they were young. We can't guarantee safety at all..."

Joanna waved her hands a little maniacally, with restlessness and impatience on her face, and the elegance and gentleness she once had completely disappeared.

"Hey, hey, honey, relax, relax, you're just too anxious." Putting his daughter in the crib, Ben stepped forward to hug his wife and comforted him softly.

"Oh, woo..." Joanna knew that she was not in the right state, but she just couldn't control herself. The invisible pressure was about to crush her nerves.

She wanted the best for them, but acted like a clumsy duck and shrew, "Damn, I hate who I am now."

"Honey, listen to me, I will invite my colleagues to take care of the two little ones for one night, there is milk stored in the refrigerator,

And now you go and put on the most beautiful dress, we are going to the hotel tonight. "

"No, I can't leave them here." Joanna wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"I know, I know, you love them, and so do I, but you need to relax now, just for one night, one night okay?"

After reassuring Joanna repeatedly, Ben called Saniel, and she showed up at Ben's home with two colleagues shortly after.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me, but only for one night." Being asked to take care of the child, Sanil was also very helpless about it.

But after learning about Joanna's situation, she decided to help.

"Sanny, thank you, thank you, the milk is stored in the refrigerator, it needs to be heated before feeding, and the water temperature is kept at..."

"Honey, just leave it to me. I have two successful mothers by my side." Sanil pointed to the two colleagues beside her and smiled.

"Thank you, thank you all." Under Ben's urging, Joanna turned around and went out the door.

"Huh..." Sitting in the car with the window open, breathing in the cool air, Joanna's tense nerves were finally released.

She thought she was ready to be a mother, but Joanna didn't realize the gap between ideal and reality until they actually appeared in her life.

But that doesn't stop her from loving them, she just needs some time to learn to adapt.

"I'm a little worried." Joanna looked back at the house in the distance.

"Just one night, I promise." Ben reassured, shaking her hand.

"I should let you stay at home." Joanna glanced at him and said deliberately.

"Oh my God, that's scary, maybe I'll become a super daddy, haha..." Ben put his arms around his wife's shoulders and kissed him affectionately.
