A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 258 A bag of oranges

It didn't take much effort, following the vomit of the old Gillis along the way, Arthur and Mary found Gillis cashing in Mary's mother's heirloom at the door of a shop.

Seeing Mary who couldn't help but argue loudly with Gillis, Arthur consciously went to get back the brooch sold by Gillis. This process didn't take much effort, so I won't go into details. Anyway, the one is called Ashton. The buyers are very cooperative.

And when Arthur came back and found Mary again, she was alone, sitting under the tree in the corner with a depressed look.

"What's wrong, where is your father?"

Mary raised her head, she looked at Arthur who came back, her eyes were full of helplessness, she said disappointedly:

"I do not know."

"Then do you need me to help you get him back?"

"no need."

It seemed that he was completely disappointed in his father. Listening to Mary's unusually calm tone, Arthur sighed softly, then changed the topic and said:

"I think the weather is good today. Otherwise, let's go for a walk? Well, I'll take you to the tram."

"Thank you."

The two were walking side by side in the street. At this time, Arthur took out the brooch inlaid with emeralds from his pocket and handed it to Mary, saying:
"Come, I'll get the brooch back for you."

Mary looked at the brooch in her hand, raised her head and said to Arthur:

"I guess I won't ask you how you got it back."

"Hmm, you can actually ask, I paid for it."

Hearing this, Mary nodded, not knowing what she was thinking, while Arthur continued to walk forward by himself. Finally, after a while, Mary used a completely different expression from before, which seemed very energetic. The tone said to Arthur:

"Hey……"

She touched Arthur's shoulder with her hand, and then after glancing at Arthur who turned back to look at her, she was embarrassed to look away and continued to speak in an unconsciously raised tone:
"Do you... have anything to do now?"

Arthur heard that Mary wanted to date him. He did not let Mary continue, but smiled and said:

"Of course there is something to do."

"Like this……"

Before Mary could feel lost, Arthur continued to smile and said:

"I was just about to invite the beautiful lady in front of me to see if she would be willing to go to the theater with me to watch a show."

"Oh, Arthur, you're so... I think this will be fun, Arthur."

The two turned around and walked in the opposite direction. Mary said happily:

"We went to Hariur, and I heard they had the most bizarre shows."

Arthur naturally bent his arm, just like in the past, Mary took his arm, and the two walked towards the Halliol Theater talking and laughing.

Mary held the orange that Arthur had handed her before in one hand and held Arthur in the other, seemingly temporarily forgetting all the things that were bothering her.

Neither of them noticed at this time that a group of people had followed them not far behind them.

And after this group of people confirmed that it was Arthur Morgan who had ruined their good fortune just now, they exchanged glances and were ready to take action.

As before, they hid their gun hands under their windbreakers and quickly approached Arthur from behind.

They only wait until they are close enough to kill with one shot before shooting.

soon.Seeing the distance where they could shoot, the group stopped, then turned around and left.

How is this going?

It turned out that Charlie and his men, who had seen Arthur never go back, were walking towards Arthur.

The appearance of Charlie and the others made the killer give up.

Theater entrance.

Eamonn, who was beside Charlie, looked at Arthur who was chatting and laughing with Mary. For a moment, he was unsure whether to step forward. He said to Charlie:

"It seems that the boss doesn't need us much now?"

Arthur also saw Charlie and the others at this time. He waved to them not to disturb him, and then he and Mary bought two tickets at the entrance of the theater and walked into the theater.

Arthur bought two seats to sit side by side. After entering the theater and sitting down, both of them seemed a little cramped. Out of the idea of ​​doing something to resolve this embarrassment, Arthur took out an orange from the bag Mary was holding. Picked up.

Looking at Arthur who was sitting aside picking up oranges with his bare hands, Mary smiled and said:

"Do you know you're a fool?"

"I guess I should know?"

"I actually miss you, Arthur..."

"That will give me hope, Mary."

Mary chuckled and took the orange petal from Arthur's hand and said:
"You may be a fool, but you will always be my friend."

Arthur nodded. The performance on the stage had not yet started. After putting an orange slice into his mouth, he said:

"Yes, you are also my friend, so do you admit now that you were prejudiced against me before?"

"Of course, Arthur, if I were a good person without prejudice, I would have wanted you to be arrested, but obviously I am not, I am prejudiced, and I hope you can live an ordinary, good life, even if Now, I hope so too."

Arthur chuckled softly when he heard this, but he had forgotten that Mary had always been a smart girl, at least she would not lose to him easily when it came to talking skills.

Looking at the woman beside him who was chatting and laughing with him, Arthur almost forgot that he should actually call her 'Mrs. Linton' now...

The show started quickly, and the theater was, as Mary had said, beautiful in terms of gaudy and tasteless, and so was the show.

The host introduced himself as Adrich, and his exaggerated style perfectly matched the theater.

The first program was a performance by a woman. Arthur didn't pay much attention to what she was singing. However, from time to time, the male audience members heard shouts from the audience, shouting something like "I will go wherever you go." Arthur guessed that She must be very pretty.

However, Arthur's focus now was on whether to put his hand on Mary's shoulder.

When the second program started, Arthur put his hand on the back of Mary's chair by stretching.

"Is the show too boring?"

"No, no, it's not..." Arthur explained.

He looked down at Mary looking at him. In the dim hall, reflected by the stage lights, Arthur felt that Mary's eyes seemed to be shining.

As if she was a little embarrassed by Arthur's direct look, Mary quickly turned her head away. Just when Arthur was complaining about herself, Mary quietly leaned her head on Arthur's shoulder. Arthur's arm, which was originally placed on the back of the chair, naturally rested on her shoulders at this time.

Neither of them spoke, they just cuddled together quietly and watched the performance on the stage.

Just like that night many years ago, they sat under the tree and looked at the moon in the sky.
