Chapter 226 Trading the Heart of the Ocean

The next morning, Eros leaned against the bed with his legs bent, his face looking relaxed.

Angelica and Irina had already left the room, leaving only him and Isabella.

After being promoted to Sequence 6, Irina's range of free movement has increased a lot. Currently, as long as she does not leave the Duke's Mansion, she will basically not be disconnected.

Therefore, Irina is not always with Eros. When she is at home, she spends most of her time with her mother Florica.

For example, she dressed up and went to her mother's place early this morning.

Suddenly! Eros, who was leaning against the bed, changed his face, for no other reason, because he heard the sound of the doorknob being turned.

Seeing that the door was about to be opened, Eros quickly pulled up the quilt piled on the side and covered himself.

After a while, the door was opened, and it was Estelle who came in from the door.

Eros forced a smile on his face: "Good morning!"

Estelle nodded and responded, then asked with some doubt:

"Have you seen my new necklace?"

Eros stiffened for a moment, laughed dryly and said: "No! Maybe my sister took it!"

Estelle frowned: "I asked Wendini before I came, and she said she didn't take it."

At this point, Estelle seemed to have noticed that Eros seemed a little abnormal, so she asked with some concern:

"What's wrong? Are you sick?"

As she said, she came to Eros' bed and sat down. As soon as she sat down, Estelle stood up again without a sound. She coughed lightly and said:

"Since you didn't see it, forget it!"

As she said, she walked out of the door, her steps were a little hurried.

After the door was closed, a cough that had been suppressed for a long time sounded.

After washing up, Eros came to the restaurant to prepare for dinner. Estelle and Undine had been waiting for a long time in the restaurant.

Estelle looked up behind Eros, but did not see the maid named Evelyn, so she retracted her sight and began to focus on the breakfast on the table.

Undine blinked and asked when she saw Eros coming:

"Mom's necklace called Brilliant Starry Sky is gone, did you see it?"

Eros came to the table and sat down, carefully glanced at Estelle, and saw that there was nothing wrong with her expression, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he turned his head to look at Undine on the side, and said in a surprised tone:

"Didn't you take that necklace?"

Undine opened her eyes and looked at Eros in front of her in disbelief. Seeing that Estelle cast her eyes on herself, Undine quickly retorted loudly:

"I didn't!"

"Then how could it suddenly disappear?" Eros complained first.

"Didn't you take it? I saw you enter mom's room last night!" Undine began to fight back.

Estelle frowned, because when she asked Undine about this news, Undine didn't tell her.

Seeing Estelle's eyes looking at him, Eros suddenly felt a little uneasy. Oh no, how could she see it last night!

Seeing that the matter could not be hidden, Eros laughed dryly and had to tell the truth:

"I took it and exchanged it with others!"

Estelle stared at Eros in front of her, and Undine's little face beside her showed a little gloating.

At first, she didn't plan to give Eros out, but who made him want to slander herself, he deserved it~

Bad brother, you want to fight with your sister, you are still far away~

"Tell me! What exchange?"

After staring at her, Estelle drank a sip of milk and asked calmly.

Eros coughed and explained, "I noticed that you seemed to like that string of ocean hearts."

"So I took an ornament and two sequence 7 pollutants and exchanged them from the person who traded with me last time."

"I went out last night not just for a stroll, but for this purpose in secret."

"Don't worry, I disguised myself when I met that person, and he definitely couldn't associate us with me."

As he spoke, Eros took out the string of ocean hearts from his body and handed it to Estelle.

Although she didn't understand why she had to exchange it for an ordinary ornament, the ocean heart was now in front of her, so Estelle still chose to believe Eros.

After reaching out to take the ocean heart, Estelle hummed lightly, and then said:

"Have breakfast!"

Seeing that the matter was fooled, Eros breathed a sigh of relief, and Wendini, who was standing beside him, showed a hint of disappointment on her face.

After breakfast, Eros squeezed next to Estelle and read today's Indyles morning newspaper with her.

This morning's newspaper clearly recorded yesterday's parade, and also added a new science column.

The content in it is basically explaining to people that there is no God in the world, and we should believe in science and so on.

It also lists various natural phenomena that are easily misunderstood as supernatural phenomena.

After reading it, Eros chuckled and turned his head to Estelle beside him and said with interest:

"What do you think will happen if one day they really calculate the value of pi?"

Estelle blinked her beautiful eyes, and a little confusion appeared on her pretty face:

"What will happen if they calculate it all?"

"I won't tell you!" Eros chuckled, stood up and slipped away.

Looking at Eros's leaving back, Estelle gritted her teeth. This disgusting child was not as cute as he was when he was a child.

Undine, who was always watching from the side, immediately came up to say bad things about Eros after seeing this.

Eros, who left the room, was wandering in the yard. When he wandered to another yard, he happened to see Irina and Mrs. Florica pruning and arranging flowers in the yard.

So Eros came over to take a look. When Mrs. Florica saw Eros coming over, she nodded to Eros with a smile and said hello:

"Good morning! Your Highness!"

Eros also called back: "Good morning! Madam!"

Looking at Mrs. Florica in front of him who looked to be only 24 or 5 years old, Eros asked casually as if he had nothing to say:

"Madam, are you still getting used to being here in Index during this period?"

Mrs. Florica sighed softly and said with a bit of resentment:

"Life is going well, but having no one to accompany you always makes people feel a little empty and lonely."

Eros laughed dryly and said, "Isn't Irina accompanying Madam?"

Eros emphasized the word Irina.

Florica glanced at her daughter beside her and said casually:

"The most Irina can do is stay with me during the day, and the quiet nights are when people feel the loneliest."

Eros glanced at Irina, coughed lightly and said: "This is easy to handle, I will just ask Irina to accompany my wife at night."

Mrs. Florica put down the scissors in her hand, and there was a little sadness in her beautiful eyes:

"Does Your Highness really not understand? Or are you pretending not to understand? Do you have to let me explain it clearly~"

Hearing this, Eros felt a little dizzy and quickly said:

"Stop it! Stop it! Don't talk about this anymore!"

Florica pursed her lips and chuckled: "Okay! Don't tease Your Highness!"

Eros took a deep breath and said in a helpless tone:

"Madam, it's better to make less jokes like this. If outsiders are around, it can easily cause misunderstandings."

Mrs. Florica raised her red lips, looked at Eros with roving eyes and chuckled:

"Don't worry, Your Highness, I won't mention it in front of outsiders. This is a secret between us."

Eros: "..."

Wouldn’t this make people more misunderstood?
