Chapter 27 Cold Kiss
He was recovered alive and unharmed save for a coma.

In this way, the poor mermaid was transported from the boat, packed into a wooden box and transported ashore.

In the evening, there was a drizzle under the gloomy sky all day long, and the manor was brightly lit.

Sierra was sitting in front of the burning fireplace in black, with no extra decorations on her body. Compared with Annaci who had been dressing up since the afternoon and only came downstairs now, she became a jeweled black background board.

The butler came in and said, "The Duke's car is almost at the gate."

Sera lazily got up from the sofa, and followed the excited mother and daughter to the gate to greet her.

The tungsten headlights of the car shone two beams of light from the rain, and the servant with an umbrella stood in the rain and opened the car door, allowing the distinguished guests inside to get out of the car and enter the house without being exposed to the drizzle.

Lizzie shook the leather-gloved hand, "Welcome, Duke, you are radiant."

The man in front of him was even more astonished than he looked in the pictorial, Anna Xi's eyes burst out with astonishing brilliance, "Welcome, sir."

Rosehill's gaze stayed on her for a moment, then turned to the girl in a black dress smiling friendly at him.

"Good evening, Duke of Rosehill." She squatted down and saluted, with a very distant expression on her face, not at all as enthusiastic as she was on the ship.

"Good evening." He nodded his chin indifferently, as a greeting to her.

Anna Xi, who was caught in the middle and only got a look from the Duke, clenched her fingers for a moment, and Josie smoothed things over, "Take a seat, dinner is ready."

Sierra sat across from Lizzie, and Josie sat on her right, which meant that Rose Hill could only sit in the vacant seat next to Annacie.

She looked at the two sitting side by side and sighed inwardly.

Handsome men and beautiful women are indeed a good match.

Rose Hill glanced at her faintly, and Sera, who heard her inner voice, immediately looked away.

The servants began to serve the appetizer, a spicy seafood bisque.

Lizzie spoke politely skillfully, he could talk about everything from baseball to music, and worked hard with the two female relatives to stir up the atmosphere of the dinner.

But Rose Hill was born a cold person, and he said very little from the beginning to the end. He was more like a bystander watching the vivid drama unfolding in front of him.

From time to time, Annahi turned her head to ask Rose Hill's hobbies, trying to pry out from his mouth whether his preferred activity was hunting or playing ball.

Sierra, who couldn't get in a word, could only straighten her back and complain in her heart about the damn dining etiquette, being unable to choose what she likes and maintaining a dignified posture, which is tiring.

Rose Hill was attracted by her voice again, and turned to look at her.

Josie noticed this and asked gently, "Sera, what activities do you like? We can go out together when the weather is fine."

Activity?She doesn't want to participate in any activities.

Serra put down the spoon, faced the eyes looking over to hear the answer, and whispered, "Churches, I like to see churches."

"Oh, that's a good place to relax." Josie naturally shifted the topic to Rose Hill again, "Where does Mr. Rose Hill want to go? You can just tell Anna Xi, and I assure you that she is very interested in the town." Every building knows it."

Sera twitched the corners of his mouth, picked up the wine glass and took a sip of the wine silently.

She could hear this plan to catch a rich man so much that she could stand on the moon.

"I also like to go to church." Rosehill picked up the wine glass and gestured to Selah, who kept complaining inwardly, "Are you free on weekends? Miss Selah."

Sera, who almost spit out a sip of wine, coughed suddenly, covered her mouth, and looked at the handsome face with a half-smile in shock, "Eh, um, I'm free."

"Okay, then I'll pick you up on the weekend." He raised the corners of his lips and drank the wine in his glass.

Anna Xi's expression could no longer maintain the initial smile, she lowered her face, inserted a piece of meat into her mouth and chewed hard.

Lizzie's inquiring gaze lingered between Serra and Rose Hill for a while, quietly provoking a new topic.

After the whole dinner, Anna Xi had almost no communication with the raiders around her, and most of the time the other party's eyes stayed on Sierra who was eating silently.

In the tea room after dinner, Anna Xi and Sera were sitting on a couch. She couldn't help lowering her voice and asked, "Have you and the Duke communicated on the ship?"

"Had."

Sierra admitted generously, "But he doesn't like me, you can rest assured."

Anahito looked at her twice, "That's not what I meant."

"Well, that's what I mean, you are a good match." Sierra stood up, and she wanted to go out to get some air after the rain stopped outside.

On the crescent-shaped balcony after the rain, you can see the moon gradually coming out of the dark clouds.

A small piece of silver light illuminates a grove in front of it, and the moat in the manor shimmers.

Sera exhaled softly.

After standing for a few minutes, Rose Hill quietly stood beside her.

"Still want to work for me?"

She turned her head just in time for the moon to emerge from the clouds, and the silver light made the man's face even more unreal.

Sera glanced at the room behind her, then turned to look at him again, shaking her head, "I don't want to work for you, things will get very troublesome."

Rose Hill was silent, staring at her with dark and strange eyes, "Really? You are afraid of trouble."

Sera's arm hidden in the sleeve was covered with goosebumps, and she bit her lip, "You didn't agree to my subsequent request on the boat, and you hesitated before the ship sank."

Rose Hill was silent for a while, "I agree."

Sierra still shook her head, "No, I can't do any work around you."

"I don't like that you are full of lies. Get rid of this problem." Rosehill turned around impatiently, pushed her shoulders against the guardrail, and trapped her in her chest with her steel-like arms.

With such an ambiguous posture, he didn't care at all what would happen if he was seen by the three people sitting on the sofa drinking tea inside the glass door.

Sela pressed his black vest with her fingers, and said in panic, "I'm not lying, let go."

Her heart can explode in his ears every time, it is full of her liking, but she just wants to pretend that she doesn't care.

Rosehill pressed her, and inserted her cold fingers into her hair through the gloves, stroking all the way down her neck, "Sera, your ability interests me very much."

"Work for me, you can get everything you want." The sweet smell kept hitting Rose Hill's sense of smell, and he lowered his eyes, focusing deeply on her cheeks.

He could clearly see the fine lines on Sera's face, every subtle change in her mood.

Want to suck her dry, give her her first embrace, and become one of his members.

Such a strong desire made him swallow in his throat, and the thick darkness in his eyes made people tremble.
