Chapter 235 Stay Overnight

"Studying studies is not a bad thing. Miss Martha's objection is probably because she is worried about your health and safety."

Joan's guess based on common sense did not win Rebecca's approval.

"There is an element of that, but it's not the main conflict between our sisters."

"The main contradiction?"

"Martha saw through my true thoughts and knew that the so-called study was just an excuse."

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I want to go to Midgard is not mainly to further my studies, but to find my father who has been lost for many years."

Rebecca bit her lip, a hint of sadness appeared on her pretty face.

Joan remembered that Miss Martha once said that the last time Sir Custis left home more than ten years ago was for Midgard, and there has been no news since then.

At that time, Rebecca was still a nursing baby. Even if she got to Midgard, even if she could find Sir Custis, could she still recognize her father whom she hadn't seen for more than ten years?

Joan had lost her parents as long as she could remember, and had little affection for her family. She couldn't understand the meaning of Rebecca's pursuit of her father who had been missing for many years.

However, he also knew that others might not be as indifferent to family affection as he was, so he tried to comfort Rebecca not to worry, and she would always find a chance to go to Midgard in the future.

The effect of comforting a person has little to do with the eloquence of the comforter, but mainly depends on whether the other party is willing to be comforted.

Joan's dry, polite words managed to turn Rebecca's face from cloudy to sunny, even he himself found it inconceivable.

"Joan, you will also study at Midgard University in the future?"

Rebecca stared at Joan with anticipation in her pure eyes.

"It's possible." Joan replied vaguely.

"Great! This way I have someone to keep me company!"

The little girl's mood was like the unpredictable weather in summer. She was full of face just now, but now she jumped up happily again.

Joan didn't quite understand what she meant.

Is it implying that one day she will go to Midgard by boat with her, or is it that they will go their own way, but they will meet again on the campus of Midgard University in the future, and there will be a care among fellow villagers?

If it refers to the latter, he doesn't mind, and it doesn't take much trouble anyway, if it refers to the former, he is not very happy - just thinking about it makes it troublesome!

Although she couldn't figure out Rebecca's plan, Joan didn't want to get to the bottom of it, so she simply pretended not to hear what she said just now. After all, one thing more is worse than one thing less.

At this time, there was a knock on the door behind him.

Rebecca got up and opened the door, had a low voice conversation with the butler Philip Downs, then turned to Joan and said, "Martha is worried, so she sent the butler over to check and ask if we are done here, and then go to the restaurant Have supper."

"The supper is free, I have to go back to school quickly." Qiao An didn't intend to stay for a long time.

"Tomorrow is Sunday, you don't have to go to class, why are you rushing back to school?" Rebecca half begged, half forced, "It's already late, stay at my house after supper, Philip will drive us tomorrow morning Going back to school together, wouldn't it be better than driving the night alone?"

She had made all the arrangements, and Joan wanted to refuse but couldn't find a suitable reason, so she could only go back to the living room in silence, hoping to ask Major Vasa for help.

However, before he could open his mouth in the living room, Rebecca rushed to tell her arrangement.

This little girl spoke like a clear and tactful "lark". Not only did she speak so fast that Qiao An could not intervene, but her eloquence was first-rate, her logic was rigorous and clear, and her reasons were convincing.

As Joan listened to her talk, she felt more and more that her tongue had grown in vain—it was as clumsy as a piece of wood!

"Rebecca is worthy of being a gifted girl in the seminary. She has mastered the knack of evangelism at a young age, and she speaks clearly and logically."

George Vassar also admired Rebecca's eloquence, and looked at Joan with a smile.

"Since she sincerely wants to keep guests, you should stay at the White House Manor."

Most of the manor owners in the south of the New World are proud of their generosity and hospitality.

Relatives and friends came from afar, and it was normal for dozens or hundreds of people to stay in the manor for three to five years. It is a well-known way of hospitality for strangers who pass by their manor.

The Custises are no exception.

Although this prosperous family has shown signs of decline in recent years, and Sir Custis's former friends and guests have left one after another, making the family look cold, but the generosity of the family remains the same as before, and there will be no shortage of special guests. And the guest room.

The kindness of the Custis sisters was difficult to refrain from, so Joan had to agree to stay overnight.

George Vassar also accepted Miss Martha's retention and promised to stay here for the night.

After eating snacks, Joan went back to her room to rest.

The next morning, as Rebecca had arranged, he returned to school in the Custis family's carriage after having breakfast.

Joan and Rebecca were in the same car, and had to chat with her on the way to satisfy her overexuberant curiosity.

Qiao An never imagined that this seemingly innocent little girl was actually very scheming, especially good at speaking, she cleverly used insinuating methods to lure him to relax his guard, and unknowingly revealed a lot of personal privacy.

When the carriage came to the gate of Leiden Academy, Rebecca had already inquired about his past experiences, including private matters that Joann didn't want to mention.

Such as his tense relationship with his grandfather, such as his relationship with Conti, and what he saw during his sojourn in the Algonquin Valley.

Fortunately, Qiao An still maintained the last trace of vigilance and did not reveal the secrets of "Tears of God" and "Fountain of Wisdom".

Thinking back afterwards, I couldn't help but secretly wiped off my cold sweat, thinking that I was too careless, and I should be more vigilant when dealing with Rebecca in the future.

Rebecca was very satisfied with this trip, and before getting off the car, she reluctantly asked Joan:

"Why don't we get out of the car and let Philip take us somewhere else? I still have a lot to tell you."

"Another day, I still have something to do today." Joan shirked.

Rebecca pouted her mouth aggrievedly, and said reluctantly: "Okay then, I'll look for you some other day—don't hide from me anymore!"

Qiao An suddenly felt dizzy, so he could only evade it vaguely.

"Wait, I almost forgot a very important thing!"

When he was about to get off the car, Rebecca suddenly took his hand.

"Before going out, Martha specifically asked me to give you this check. A small gift is not a tribute. It can be regarded as the reward for helping me make the 'soothing bracelet' last night. You don't think it's too little, do you?"

Joan took the check and looked at it. The number 2 was followed by one, two, and three zeros—a total of two thousand gold Duga!

What are you thinking? Can this be too little? !

"Thank you and Miss Martha for your generosity, then I...cough, you're welcome."

Joan scratched his head embarrassingly, then swiftly stuffed the check into his jacket pocket.

The fourth update is over, and we will enter a new storyline
