As mentioned before, in aristocratic families, the bond between parents and children is very thin. Basically, children are raised by housekeepers and babysitters. Compared with parents who are related by blood, the relationship between children and housekeepers and babysitters is closer and closer.

The same goes for the Halls.

The housekeeper Philip Demba and the nanny Denis-Stevens are responsible for raising and caring for the four children. Although all four children have hired tutors, overall, the boys are closer to Philip. The girls were grown by Denise.

There is a small difference in this.

As a butler, Philip has a detached status and basically follows all the etiquette of the nobles. As George Hall's right and left hand, he is in charge of all affairs of the entire mansion. In a real hereditary family, the position of the butler is a job that is passed down from generation to generation, and it is definitely not ordinary. Outsiders can do it.

Therefore, Philip needs to abide by more rules and regulations, and his relationship with the two boys is more intimate, but he still has to abide by the etiquette of the nobles. Strictly speaking, it is not like a father-son relationship; it is a bit like a teacher and a friend.

As a nanny, Denise was different. Many aristocratic families have hired nannies. They have specialized systematic education and training institutions. After receiving relevant training, they can be employed just like interviewing jobs. Only a few noble families adopt the hereditary system.

Naturally, Denise's bondage was much less, and she poured all her maternal love into the child, and her bond and relationship with the child became closer and closer to the image of a mother.

It is worth mentioning that Denise is now over eighty years old. She took care of Elizabeth Hall when she was young, and later came to Hall's house with Elizabeth, and took care of Elf and Edith respectively.

Denise herself had a son and a daughter. The daughter died unexpectedly when she was young, and the son fell ill after a successful adult. After suffering for several years, she died. Now she is alone. Edith was born shortly after her son's death, so Denise put all her heart and soul into Edith.

Of the four children, Edith and Denise have the closest relationship.

"Nanny (nanny)", this is a very colloquial title, in aristocratic families, only children will call their own nanny; Grandma, looks more intimate and more childish.

Of the four children of the Hall family, only Edith still calls Denise that way, while the other children have grown up by their first names. This small detail shows how important Denise is to Edith.

A few years ago, when Renly and Edith were not yet adults, Denise chose to retire because of her body, and left London to live in the country and spend the rest of her life.

This time, Denise made a special trip to invite Edith to go back to spend Christmas, and went further back to the Hall's big house, obviously not just for the holidays, it is estimated that Elizabeth's shadow can still be seen behind -

It's true that Denise and Edith are very close; it's true that Elizabeth was brought up by Denise.

For a long time, in order not to worry Denise and enjoy life, Edith seldom talked about her life and work, and every time she talked and met, she said it vaguely; if Elizabeth told Denise, Edith is now working in dangerous places such as the battlefield and needs help to persuade, Denise is definitely willing to contribute.

This is the vileness of the adult world.

Weave white lies under the banner of "for your own good", breaking the bottom line again and again, but in the end it is impossible to determine who it is for.

When Renly heard Edith mention "nanny", an ominous premonition struck, and his first reaction was to exclaim "Jesus Christ", because he knew that as long as it was about Denise, Iraq Diss will lose her composure, and even if she knows it is a trap, she will jump into it willingly.

Renly believed that Elizabeth knew it too.

As for the "Charlie" mentioned in the words, it was their personal family doctor, and they had a good relationship.

Edith, who returned to London for Denise, quickly realized that this was a trap, but she couldn't blame the nanny; what's more, Denise's health was indeed not very good, and she was old. She needed a good rest, so even if she understood, Edith couldn't get away.

In the blink of an eye, it's a month.

Even if Edith did not need to explain in detail, Renly could make up the relevant picture.

Living in that house was as if her soul was bound. Even though Edith's body was free and could leave at any time, she was still worried about Denise and could not easily turn around and let go. It became a kite, and the kite string was firmly held in Elizabeth's hands.

This is their mother.

Renly couldn't help thinking of the original "Hamlet" invitation. They chose to compromise temporarily. The ultimate goal was to want their children to step back and choose a path according to their wishes.

"Where's Elf?" Renly rhetorically captured the point of the question. If Elf is also at home, and Elizabeth is also at home, the feeling of depression and aggrievedness is really chilling, even Renly can't bear it now.

Edith showed a surprised look, "The wonderful place is here, and Elf hasn't come back. She never showed up except on Christmas day, when she came back and stayed for one night; Arthur too. It's really weird."

When encountering similar incidents in the past, Elf's figure cannot be ignored. For example, Renly returned to London to film "Crazy Love", and for example, Renly returned to the stage in the West End of London, and Elf was the representative. She won't take the initiative to send her to the door, but she won't deliberately avoid hiding, but will handle it in her own way, in many cases, even better than George and Elizabeth.

But this time, Elf "disappeared". It can be seen that this is intentional.

It seems that a story they don't know happened to Elf. However, Elf always keeps a distance from Renly and Edith. Even Arthur, Elf's communication is very limited, just maintain The family relationship on the surface of the noble family, that's all. So Renly couldn't find out, and didn't want to.

"So, is Denise's body okay?" Renly changed the subject again and asked.

Sure enough, Edith relaxed a little, "It's all old problems, she has a bad heart, but she likes sweets. This is really a headache. This time, her knees are not very good, London Yin Yin By the end of the day, she can't stand up, she needs someone to take care of her, but I hire a nurse for her and she doesn't. God, why is she so stubborn?"

Seeing Edith chattering in front of him, Renly couldn't help but chuckle.

Equally stubborn, Denise was so, so was Edith. To be honest, Renly felt that Edith and Denise were more like mother and daughter, at least in terms of personality and habits, even the way they got along.

At this moment, Matthew came over, the two exchanged glances, and a smile slipped through their eyes: Edith like this is really cute.

Then, Matthew took the plate in Renly's hand, raised his eyebrows, and seemed to be asking, "Coffee?"

Renly replied, "Whiskey." Then his eyes fell on Edith, meaning that Edith needed a drink tonight, and he was going to accompany him.

Matthew immediately understood, nodded and turned away.

"Then how did you leave in the end?" Renly knew Edith, and if Denise hadn't been properly arranged, she wouldn't be at ease, otherwise she wouldn't have been left in London for a whole month. Now think back to the turmoil just now, everything has been reasonably explained.

Edith took a sip of the whisky in her hand and scratched her hair again, "Denise promised me to live in a nursing home for three months, on the one hand, to observe the body so that the doctor can complete the examination systematically; Get used to life in a nursing home, and if she still doesn't like it, she'll have to take the nurse I hired to take care of her at home."

"Oh, so you persuaded her?" Renly asked slightly in surprise. Denise is a well-behaved grandmother. She doesn't know much about the new generation of women/awakening, and naturally she can't understand Edith's many choices. .

"What?" Edith was stunned and didn't react.

"Elizabeth persuaded Denise that she came forward to call you back. Did you persuade Denise?" Renly explained in detail.

Renly deeply believed that Edith's current thinking speed was at least two beats slower than before, but she couldn't blame her, after all, after living in that restrained and cold mansion for a month, there was neither assimilation nor degradation. , this is already very rare; what's more, Edith's current date is... wait, has she changed her date?

"About my work?" Edith asked in return, then waved her hand, "I simply took it with me, and Denise also knew that I was pursuing my career. She gave some advice, but didn't go into depth. ; The real trouble is that they're starting to care about who I'm dating."

"..." The air was suddenly quiet, and neither Renly nor Matthew spoke or responded. Instead, the quietness became more and more prominent, setting off the absurd joy.

Edith knew it herself, raised her hands and made a resigned gesture of surrender, "I know. It's not about my job at all, it's because of my date. I don't understand, Chris What's the problem, they're so excited that even the babysitter has moved out."

"Isn't he a problem all the way up and down, inside and out?" Matthew's cold voice complained mercilessly.
