A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 387: Was there a slap mark?
Just when Arthur and Brighton were still arguing in the study.

Linda in her own room faced the 'disciplining mother' from Beckman's house - Fino Langer, and she had endured to the limit.

After another appearance issue was pointed out, Linda exploded.

"Ms. Langel, this is not your Beckman house, this is Vincent's mansion. Could you please wake up? Know your place?"

Don't ask why Linda's outburst was so tactful, and she only verbally tried to use Vincent's reputation to suppress her.

It's really because this old woman is in Vincent's house, and she represents the Beckman family behind her.

"Miss, I've already told you what my responsibilities are. It doesn't mean anything to me if you say this. This is something Mr. Vincent has already nodded to. Running away at the wedding? This is not what Vincent wants. It's a pity that you didn't accept my teachings from a young age, otherwise..."

"Otherwise, I can be taught like Nemancha Beckman to be a loser with nothing but a stinking skin?...?!"

"Pah!" Before Linda could finish her words, Langer slapped Linda hard on the face, and then made the sign of the cross on his chest with one hand.

"You dare to hit me?!" Linda shouted. Although the burning pain on her face made her unable to suppress her anger, Linda was still a member of the Vincent family. She could verbally attack Lange. I'm trying my best to ridicule you, but do you want to attack her?

As long as Linda doesn't become Mrs. Beckman for a day, then if she does this, the Vincent family will slap the Beckman family in the face.

The marriage escaping had already created a rift in the relationship between the Beckman and Vincent families, and severely slapped the Beckman family on their face. Now, the 'discipline mother' sent by the Beckman family to Vincent's family has been beaten back again. …

Linda finally restrained herself.

In response to Linda's question, Langer just said calmly:
"It's part of discipline, miss, and please forgive me."

"..."

"Now it's time for us to get the dresses ready for the dinner tonight."

After finishing speaking, Langer turned around and took out two dresses that he had chosen earlier, and then motioned Linda to choose one from them.

Faced with this situation where she had to suffer the consequences for her resistance, Linda suppressed her anger and said cooperatively:
"Black."

"No, Master Beckman will like this lake blue dress better." After Langer finished talking to herself, she picked up the long lake blue dress and gestured in front of Linda. He got up, ignoring Linda's livid face.

……

Soon, it was time for the dinner. Brighton, Linda and Lonnie met at the door the old Beckman who came down from the carriage, and his son Nemancha who had just been rescued from the west.

As a guest, Arthur did not greet Beckman with Brighton and the others outside. Instead, he sat and waited across from Carmen in the room where he was assigned.

"Boss, why do we have to stay here for dinner?" Carmen, who was already a little irritable in the room, complained.

In response to this, Arthur took a book from the bookshelf in the room and flipped through it. He just replied lightly:
"Let me correct you, I stayed here for dinner, so you definitely didn't have a chance to serve."

"Ah?" Carmen was dumbfounded. If it is what made him persist in this damn boring until now, then the expectation of what to eat at the dinner party of this kind of upper-class people can be said to be the only reason. Now Arthur actually Tell him he has no chance to serve? ?

Seeing Carmen's reaction, Arthur smiled and continued:

"Don't worry, I won't let you go hungry. If you don't serve it, it won't be served, but I will take care of your food."

"It's okay to take care of the food. Boss, can't we even eat different things from you?" Carmen asked worriedly.Arthur closed the book in his hand and said with a smile:

"I don't know either. Don't worry, it's really not possible. I'll pack another one for you after I finish eating later?"

"Okay, boss, you still care about me!" Carmen smiled happily.

The two of them were still chatting with each other in the room, when the old housekeeper knocked on the door.

"Mr. Morgan, you can take your seats."

Arthur stood up, and after putting his cowboy hat on his head, and pulling the hem and collar, he asked Carmen:

"How does it look?"

Carmen gave a thumbs up and praised: "Handsome."

Regardless of whether Carmen was sincere or a false compliment, Arthur took it as the truth.

Opening the door and following the butler waiting outside, Arthur came to the dining area.

After the butler helped open the door, Arthur found that everyone except himself had already taken their seats, and they all seemed to be waiting for him.

After looking around, in addition to Linda's surprise and astonishment after seeing him come in, Nemancha Beckman, who was sitting on the left side of Linda, looked at Arthur and his eyes were about to burst into flames.

Although Arthur could see that his position should be arranged opposite Lonnie, that is, next to old Beckman, Arthur still walked directly behind Lonnie, who was sitting on Linda's right, and then smiled said:

"Would you mind switching places with me?"

"……This."

Lonnie really admired Arthur's "presumptuousness" and admired Arthur's face. He wanted to take a look at his father's eyes, but Linda suddenly pinched his leg hard under the table, with such force. Big, it immediately made Lonnie stand up from his position.

"Thank you." Arthur nudged Lonnie with his hands, and sat down before Lonnie could explain.

Seeing that Arthur had already sat down, Lonnie opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.

Lonnie didn't even dare to look at Brydon, who was sitting in the main seat. He lowered his head and sat down at the seat originally assigned to Arthur.

"Arthur! Why are you here? When did you come? I asked them if you were rescued, but they didn't tell me."

As soon as she sat down, Linda began to ask questions with concern. This scene naturally caught everyone's eyes, especially the eyes of Linda's fiancé, Nemancha Beckman.

As for Linda's concerned inquiries and eyes, Arthur was a little happy without realizing it, but when he saw the slap marks on Linda's face that were not completely covered by foundation, he couldn't help but asked angrily:

"Who hit you?"

"..." Linda, who was originally very happy, saw that Arthur had discovered it, and quickly turned her face away and said:
"It's okay, I bumped into it."

"..."

Did he hit it and leave a slap mark?
