Two Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty-Three Wanton Growth

"thanks."

There are only two short words on top of the text message to form a phrase, and even the punctuation marks are normal periods, and it seems that there is not much emotion.

But a satisfied smile appeared on Roman Abramovich's face, which made Dasha Zhukova sitting next to him look curious, "What did he say?"

"Thank you." Roman replied, Dasha's head was full of question marks, and she asked "what" in a conditioned reflex. She didn't understand how Roman suddenly thanked herself, which made Roman chuckle, and it was obvious that, He was in a very happy mood, "Thank you, that's all the text from Renly said."

Dasha was stunned for a moment, "That's the only sentence? I don't understand."

Roman did not intend to continue to explain, "This sentence is enough."

Renly-Hall, that's hereditary nobles, don't think they are flattering and boasting about walking horses - otherwise, their dignity and pride will be worthless.

What's more, considering Renly's reputation and prestige in recent years, his aloofness and alienation have never changed, which makes the weight of a "thank you" extraordinarily different.

Roman is a businessman and a shrewd businessman. He clearly knows how to invest. For some objects, the exchange of interests is the best choice; for some objects, the weight of friendship and favor is far higher than interest, and only for the right object. Make the right choice to complete the "cooperation".

"Tomorrow, you can send a bouquet of flowers to the Prince's Garden to express your condolences. You don't need to call." Roman left all these social chores to Dasha to take care of.

Dasha nodded in understanding, "Need to invite them over for dinner? I can hold a welcome banquet to welcome Edith's return."

"No need." Roman shook his head, the purpose of the welcome banquet was too strong, and instead looked hungry, "Wait a while." He thought for a while, "Well, wait a while."

Dasha didn't get to the bottom of things too much, just assumed that Edith might need a good rest, and expressed her understanding to Roman's jaw, and the topic ended there.

...

When Arthur arrived at the Prince's Garden, he saw the bouquets placed at the entrance at a glance. The delicate and ingenious combination revealed a touch of warmth in the haze of the severe winter, brightening the whole room, "Could it be Eaton? Are you here yet?" Other than that, Arthur couldn't think of anyone who would deliver flowers.

Philip took the coat from Arthur and explained in a low voice, "Mr. Abramović."

Arthur paused for a moment, and then nodded lightly, "He is indeed a smart man." He didn't ask any more questions, "Did you say when it will arrive? Why don't you let us pick it up? "

"Because I returned by a cargo plane and landed directly at the military airport." Philip replied simply, "We have already contacted and sent a special car to pick them up. They should have passed through Chelsea by now."

"Chelsea? Isn't it possible to arrive at any time?" Arthur walked towards the study, but saw the whole room was quiet and calm, "Didn't you say you're ready to welcome a party? Why is everyone like this? It depends Is it too quiet to get up? Are you sure I remembered the time correctly?"

"You should really pray, preferably not today. Your beard is a disaster, and I think Edith may not be able to accept your appearance." Andre shook his head with disgust. The beard expressed strong dissatisfaction - the point is that Arthur did not take care of it. The beard that grows recklessly and savagely has a strong attack power, which almost drowns Arthur's handsome facial features, making people shy away.

Arthur also realized his rudeness-for nobles, such basic etiquette must be in place, but he still expressed his dissatisfaction, "Hey, recently, I've been so busy that I can fall asleep while standing, Like a cute foal, I really don't have time."

Except for Renly,

Arthur is always running around, even if his strength is weak, he is doing his best, hoping to inquire about Edith's news; Arthur even thought of going directly to Turkey, but they are laymen after all, even if they arrive there, It's just messing up.

Although he never said it, Arthur has always been suffering from deep inside. He kept himself busy, and he didn't even dare to close his eyes easily, lest he would miss Edith forever if he was a little lazy. news, then he will regret it for the rest of his life.

The beard grows savagely like this.

But now that he realized that he was about to see Edith, Arthur was also a little embarrassed, his eyes fell on Renly, and he quickly pulled him into the water, "Look, Renly is the same, there is no time to take care of the beard. ." As he spoke, Arthur was shocked and exclaimed, "Renly, you do look like you are thirty years old now."

Renly didn't raise his eyes at all, and responded lightly, "I don't know, you care about age."

"..." Arthur was choked immediately, then turned to look at Andre and Eaton next to him, and even Matthew glared at him, "What's wrong? It's not the first time you know each other. Renly." He quietly passed the buck to Renly: the reason why he was so embarrassed was that Renly was too evil, not that he was too useless.

Then Matthew said calmly, "That's because we saw such a scene for the first time today."

Arthur pouted and glared at Matthew, his face full of grievances, "I just didn't take care of my beard."

Matthew also put on a serious posture and said, "We are just joking."

The atmosphere in the entire study suddenly relaxed.

Whether Arthur or Matthew, including Andre, in fact, they are all consciously activating the atmosphere——

Although I already know Edith's safety and know that Edith is on her way back, the uneasy mood is still hard to control. Excited, nervous, excited, apprehensive, or what, and even a little scared.

They all need relief.

Today's Prince's Garden is a bit lively. In addition to Renly and others, four friends of Edith have also been invited to come to welcome Edith's return, including a middle-level management of the Red Cross Society. Officials and an editor-in-chief of The Times, in addition to the title of "Hall", Edith, like Renly, used her abilities to open up the situation and made many important friendships.

And, of course, Chris Evans.

Honestly, Chris had to admit that he was a little surprised—no, I should say, he was very, very surprised that Renly had personally called and invited him to the Prince's Garden.

From the first meeting, he and Renly seem to have missed a good start, and after that, Renly's alienation and strength have not changed, always building a high wall between the two, and has always Never showed signs of opening up; especially with this accident, Chris and Renly had many different ideas, and many differences in the way they looked at things and dealt with problems:

It can even be said to be... tit for tat.

Chris was sure it wasn't his delusion.

He knew, he had known for a long time, that he should not let Edith return to Turkey, he should not let Edith risk his life again, he should not let Edith put his life aside... he advised He had fought, quarreled, had a cold war, and even closed his mouth in frustration for a time, but he was unable to stop Edith after all.

After the accident, all his anger erupted - he had told Renly that he had steadfastly expressed his opinion before Renly; but Renly had fallen on deaf ears and even began to condemn him for being overly concerned and overly concerned Control, that condescending attitude that seems to have taken control early on, only to face a catastrophic consequence, and it's up to him to bear the damage, which makes Chris unable to suppress his emotions.

So they had a heated argument.

More precisely, he vented his anger. He forgot about Renly's strength and the unique respect that Edith had for Renly. His mind was filled with the idea that Edith might be lost forever, and he vented all his emotions without hesitation; Fadi accepted everything.

This made their relationship completely strained.

Chris couldn't help but start to wonder if when they met again, they would target each other endlessly and fight each other with bayonets;

It's just that those worries and fears, those anxiety and anger, made Chris temporarily forget that he was facing the unique "Renly Hall". - But he doesn't regret it, this is his and Edith's life, and he needs to stand up for them; but...after the impulse, Chris gradually calmed down, but gradually realized that he might have done something wrong.

"Love" is indeed selfish. Everyone longs for love to be as perfect as they imagined, and also longs for their object to stay together for a long time, even as a moth to a fire; but at the same time, "love" should also be It is selfless, because the person you really fall in love with should not be the perfect image in your imagination, but the real image in real life, and there should be tolerance and compromise in love.

The reason why Edith is Edith is because of her independence and wantonness, her flamboyance and uninhibitedness, she is definitely not a Barbie doll that anyone can manipulate, she has a free soul, this is what Chris used to be. The object of falling in love, he can accept the madness brought by freedom, but also needs to learn to accept the accompanying danger.

Even though he was worried about Edith staying up at night, Chris gradually realized that Renly was right and that his selfishness was trying to destroy Edith.

However, the quarrel had already erupted, and what he said was the water that was poured out, what else could he do?

As a result, it was Renly who took the lead in extending the olive branch.
