Chapter 352 Lynch’s Gift
Fortunately, he was wearing casual clothes on the day of the assassination. There was an extra cut on his chest, so he definitely couldn’t get it. If this was the suit with special effects, Lynch would probably have asked for it several times. Can't sleep for years.
On the morning of June 30, Lynch was standing in the small living room on the first floor of No. 221 Villa Street, wearing a suit handmade by Master Christian, intoxicated by the image in the mirror.
"How can a person be so handsome? This has exceeded the limits of human beings."
Mrs. Maggie, who had her blond hair tied up, was holding a hot iron and pulling the hem of Lynch's clothes to iron them in the air, looking attentive. , a few beads of sweat appeared on his nose. Little Martha hasn't gone to school yet. She is lying on the sofa with her chin in her hands, her little feet raised and swaying.
"Mom, burn him with an iron quickly, his shamelessness has exceeded human limits."
The little thing was chuckling and laughing very easily. Ever since he knew that he didn't have to die early, the little thing seemed to have been relieved of a huge burden in the past few days. The haze that had been lingering on the little guy's eyebrows in the past had been dissipated. Her big eyes were filled with happiness.
Huh? Oops, I forgot you were still around, and you exposed your true nature. But you can't attack me personally if you are happy, and it is a personal attack in a double sense.
Lin Qi thought to himself, glared at the little thing viciously, and made a spanking gesture.
Then the dishonest back of the hand was slapped by Mrs. Maggie, which made little Martha laugh.
"Mom, it's almost there, you haven't even arranged it for me so carefully."
"Mr. Lynch is going to a dance tonight, so of course he needs to dress neatly. The blond lady held up a few strands of hair on her temples and smiled softly, "That's a ball at the Governor's Mansion. It's much grander than the last cocktail party of the exotic princess. We must prepare to the best, and we can't let Mr. Lynch be there." I lost face in front of those gentlemen, ladies and ladies.”
"There's no need to be so nervous, Mrs. Maggie." It was still a little awkward to see Mrs. Maggie today, but the beautiful blond lady acted as if nothing had happened. This made Lynch relax and chuckle, "This time Although the dance tonight is grand, it is not that formal. It is said that His Excellency the Duke has specially invited twenty civilian representatives to participate, so the atmosphere will not be very formal."
"There are also civilian representatives, so they will. So lucky." Mrs. Maggie's voice sounded a little dazed.
"What? Is it that exaggerated? It's just a dance, there's nothing to look forward to."
"Of course it's special, the Governor's Mansion. Most people in this city will never have the opportunity to go in, let alone dance inside as a guest." Mrs. Maggie sighed, shook her head slightly and said, "Lynch Sir, you are a capable person. Whether it is a foreign princess or a governor, he has taken the initiative to write a letter to invite you to participate in advance. You will not understand how rare this is for us ordinary citizens of the King's District. Man, I don't understand, but. Which woman has not dreamed of wearing the most beautiful clothes and dancing in the Governor's Palace? It is an experience worth recalling until the day she dies. One time can make others envious for a lifetime. You can ask Martha, she. Do you have such a fantasy? "
The little thing didn't answer, but looked out the window with his chin in his hands, his eyes blurred, and his little face was full of longing.
"Well, I thought the invitations were easy to get. Well, maybe Duke Wein is wearing red clothes and a big white beard, getting in from the chimney and handing them out door to door. Who? It doesn’t matter if you don’t go after you get it.”
"How can it be so weird? If you say that, how can I still fantasize about it in the future?" Mrs. Maggie glared at Lynch with dissatisfaction, smoothed out the last wrinkles, sighed softly, and said quietly, "Actually, I also know it’s a dream, but... We would be very satisfied to have Mr. Lynch go in for our mother and daughter to take a look. Please take a look more and tell us when you come back. I will chat with the neighbors in the future. It’s a good time to show off.”
“Well, I’ll try my best, but it may not work.”
The same disappointment and sadness appeared on the two similar faces, little Martha. She also pouted quietly. Although she didn't know why Lynch said that, Mrs. Maggie was still considerate and didn't ask any questions. She took a step back and looked at Lynch's figure, then moved closer to help him put on the clean top hat. Then he nodded with satisfaction.
"It's perfect now, then we wish you..."
"Stop, stop, stop, it's too early." After receiving special training from Miss Valente, Lynch understood this very well, "The dances are all in the evening, and admission starts in the afternoon. If you don't want to go in early to socialize, you can go in the evening. How can you go out early in the morning."
"Well, we don't understand these... ”
"Ding bell, ding bell."
The doorbell of the apartment rang.
The landlady and her daughter were stunned, why did someone come to the door so early, and they didn’t arrange for workers to repair it today.
"I'm going to take a look. Martha, please stop dawdling. It's time to go to school. Every time you go out, you take your time. You usually don't do anything. When you go out, everything happens. Hurry up, otherwise you, Lynch, will Uncle, I’ll beat you up.”
As he murmured, the landlady, who was wearing a long home dress, held up the hem of her skirt and ran out in small steps.
What does your quarrel between mother and daughter have to do with me? Am I a monster that scares children?
Although he thought so, Lynch's smile as he watched Mrs. Maggie leave was a bit weird. Hehe...
When he looked back, he saw a big face.
What the hell.
Lin Qi was startled. He leaned back and distanced himself and saw clearly that little Martha was lying in front of him with her face close to her face, staring at him suspiciously.
Without saying a word, he grabbed him and slapped his legs twice. The little thing had no response at all. He got up and continued to stare at Lin Qi for a while before he said thoughtfully: "Why do I Do you think something strange happened to you and your mother suddenly? ”
? ? ?
Are all children in this world so sensitive?
How do you answer this? Your mother wanted me to be your formal father but I didn’t agree?
I dare say, there should be no need to participate in any activities in the evening.
"Because Mrs. Maggie has been too happy these days." Lynch rubbed little Martha's golden hair, "Aren't you also weird? You never close your mouth."< br>
"Well!" Little Martha was immediately diverted, and nodded vigorously with a happy face. She suddenly grabbed Lin Qi's hand and bit it down. "Hmm, wa wa mud, pick it up ”
No, are you a dog? Who taught you to express gratitude like this? Let him come out. I want him to see the red moon tonight. I will take your surname.
Two idiots were making a fuss when a scream suddenly came from the porch.
Mrs. Maggie's scream.
Little Martha's expression changed, she jumped up from the sofa and hurriedly ran towards the door.
"Mom, Mom, are you okay? Don't scare me."
Lin Qi was not in a hurry. He stood up slowly, picked up his cane and followed him out.
"Martha, you are very literate, can you help me see if I read it wrong?"
"What, Mom, you scared me to death, isn't it just a letter, what's the point... …Ah~~~~”
There was another scream, which made Lynch feel like he was listening to a chord.
When he came over, he saw little Martha holding a card and screaming like a mysterious creature. Mrs. Maggie was also squatting next to her daughter, holding her daughter's hand and reading the words on the card over and over again in disbelief.
The thick silver folio card has no text on the cover, only a golden shield and sword emblem that almost fills the page. It is the family emblem of the Wien family, the governor of the Rhine Duchy of the Kingdom of Rand.
Open the card, and there are several lines of strong handwritten cursive characters inside.
We sincerely invite Ms. Maggie Hudson, a resident of No. 221 Vera Street, King's District, and Ms. Martha Hudson, as citizen representatives, to the Duke's Palace at 7 pm on June 30 to attend a ceremony hosted by Princess Sophia Rose, Locke... Please be sure to attend the reception ball hosted by Duke de Wien. The Governor's Palace is looking forward to welcoming you two ladies.
Yours sincerely, Locke DeVine.
“Let me just say that someone will wear a big red robe and a big beard and hand out invitations as gifts everywhere.”
Mrs. Maggie's chest rose and fell, her breathing quickened, and her lips trembled. She looked at the invitation, her daughter, and then Lynch's smile.
I rolled my eyes and fainted.
