Chapter 1367 Sir Carter's Blessing

Chapter 1367 Sir Carter's Blessing

"Woooo..."

With the sound of breaking air, the huge Tulip cut through the sky and landed at Heathrow International Airport in London, England.

It took nearly an hour to tow and line up at the airport before the plane took off again. After about half an hour, the plane landed at Coventry Airport.

Not long after, Xia Yu and Elena were surrounded by dozens of bodyguards out of the airport.

A dozen bullet-proof black Rolls-Royces were waiting outside the airport. After getting on the bus, the spectacular motorcade left Coventry Airport and went to Warwick Castle.

This ancient castle, which was bought in 1982, is comparable to Windsor Castle. It has been almost three years now, and Xia Yu does not know what it looks like.

The management and repair of the castle are all taken care of by special people, and Elena is in charge, so Xia Yu doesn't need to bother.

He just heard Elena say that Warwick Castle in Warwickshire and Brock Castle in Glasgow, Scotland, together, need to invest more than one million pounds a year in repairs and staff wages.

Originally, there were dozens of security personnel in the castle, and this time Xia Yu brought more than 70 people, all of whom had gun licenses and legally carried weapons.

In the basement of Warwick Castle, there is a small ammunition depot that contains a variety of firearms.

It's not even after 1997, the British Parliament has not passed a law prohibiting private gun ownership, coupled with Xia Yu's influence in the UK, the complicated procedures for a gun license couldn't be simpler here, so he is legal here holding a gun.

Almost all of the top big families in the UK have the ability to protect themselves.

The atmosphere of life in the castle is indeed different, with a unique serenity and peace.

That night, Xia Yu and Elena went to sleep hugging each other after ten o'clock.

The next day, Xia Yu brought gifts and drove to Howard Castle in Norfolk.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, he finally entered Castle Howard, where he saw Duke Carter Howard and Henry and his son.

"My dear daughter, welcome home!"

"Mr. Xia, long time no see."

"Sister, welcome back."

"Sir Carter, Henry, long time no see."

After some warm and warm greetings, the four walked into the castle and sat down in the living room.

On the table in the living room, there are all kinds of fresh fruits and all kinds of snacks.

"You're welcome, these fruits and snacks are delicious."

"OK."

"Mr. Xia, do the math, you haven't come to the UK for more than two years."

Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu who was sitting next to Elena, his eyes were a little complicated, and he said with emotion.

Xia Yu was also a little emotional. He glanced at the decorations in the castle. The last time he lived in Howard Castle was nearly three years ago, and he never thought that nearly three years passed by in a flash.

When I think about it now, it seems like yesterday.

"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."

"But it should come more frequently in the future."

After Xia Yu sighed, he said with a smile.

"It's better to come several times. You don't know, your reputation is widely spread in the upper echelons of the UK, and many people have entrusted me to find an opportunity to get closer to you."

"Your business in the UK is getting bigger and bigger, you should need more friends and it will be better for the future."

Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu with a smile.

...

The light-hearted small talk continued for over half an hour until it was interrupted by a hearty lunch.

After lunch, Xia Yu went down to a room to rest under the leadership of Elena.

After three o'clock in the afternoon, Duke Carter Howard invited Xia Yu to have afternoon tea. He immediately took out something from the room and went to the garden with Elena.

In the fresh air of the garden, drinking Ceylon tea and tasting exquisite British desserts, let alone relaxing.

"Father, I joined another nationality."

At this moment, Elena suddenly said to her father.

Xia Yu put down the teacup gently, he has to talk about business.

Duke Carter Howard was stunned and asked softly, "Which country?"

"Maldives, an archipelago country in the Indian Ocean."

After Elena finished speaking, a flash of memory flashed in Duke Carter Howard's eyes, and then nodded slightly: "I know this country was a British colony before. During World War II, the Maldives was still a supply station for aircraft carrier formations."

"As I recall, this country is still a country that supports polygamy."

After speaking, Duke Carter Howard looked at his daughter Elena, and finally set his eyes on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu's eyes were calm, and he looked at Duke Carter Howard and said, "Sir Carter, you are right, the Maldives is such a country."

"I have invested in the Maldives in all aspects last year, and now the will of the country has changed."

Duke Carter Howard shook his head with a smile, his eyes returned to his daughter Elena, his expression became very serious, and he said in a serious voice: "So Elena, my favorite daughter, have you really made a decision? "

"Yes, I've spent six years thinking about this, and I've figured it out completely."

"This is the love I want."

"Just like Dad, I don't care about other things, I hope to get your blessing." Elena answered Dad's question very firmly.

"Sir Carter, please believe me, I will take care of Elena in this life."

"I hope you can agree to Elena marrying me." Xia Yu also said suddenly, looking firmly at Duke Carter Howard.

One minute……

two minutes...

three minutes……

Duke Carter Howard's eyes kept wandering over Elena and Xia Yu, but he didn't speak.

Xia Yu and Elena naturally did not speak, and still maintained a firm and sincere attitude.

Duke Carter Howard suddenly looked into the distance, and seemed to say to himself: "Actually, I often think back on whether I missed the initial intervention period. I am still not sure about this issue."

"And what is most beyond my control is your growth rate, Mr. Xia."

"too fast!"

"It's almost time for me to suspect that you are the son of God. You have spent a few years standing on the top of the UK and the top of the world."

"So much so that I can no longer interfere with you, so I choose to let it go and let Elena choose. I believe in my daughter."

Speaking of this, Duke Carter Howard paused for a moment, then turned his head to look at Xia Yu and Elena again.

"Elena, my dear daughter, your life belongs to you, and I will not interfere with your life. Since you have made a choice, the only thing Dad can do is to wish you happiness."

When Carter Howard said this, his eyes were a little wet, and he looked at his daughter dotingly.

He knew that from the moment he promised, there was not much time left for his precious daughter to stay by his side.

"Dad, thank you."

"I love you!"

Elena threw herself into her father's arms with tears in her eyes, and Duke Carter Howard looked at her daughter with a complicated expression, stroking her hair gently.

"Sir Carter, thank you for your blessing!"

Xia Yu quietly waited for Elena to get up again, then he bowed deeply to Duke Carter Howard and thanked him sincerely.

"Be kind to Elena, if you let me know that you made her sad, I won't be polite."

Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu with a pretense of ferocity.

This is the first time that Xia Yu has seen such a stern expression on Duke Carter Howard's face for so many years.

"Please rest assured, I won't be willing to make Elena sad." Xia Yu promised sincerely.

"Okay, I believe you."

"Let's sit down and try these little snacks, they're delicious."

After all, Duke Carter Howard took the lead and sat down.

At this time, Xia Yu took out an exquisite gift box and handed it to Duke Carter Howard: "Sir Carter, according to our custom, this is my dowry gift to you to represent my sincerity."

"Dad, there is this ceremony. Although it is simplified, it represents the importance of the man." Elena said to her father with a sweet smile.

She knew that Xia Yu would give her father a betrothal gift, but she didn't know what it was. She asked once, but Xia Yu didn't say anything, so she didn't ask again.

"Is that so?"

"Then I take it."

Duke Carter Howard took the gift with a smile, but did not open it for the first time.

After the afternoon tea, Xia Yu, accompanied by Elena, took a leisurely walk in the garden, enjoying the beauty of nature.

While Duke Carter Howard returned to the castle, he opened Xia Yu's dowry with a little curiosity.

It's just that when he saw what was inside, his expression instantly became serious.
