A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 66 Goodbye Mary
Arthur didn't forget it when he came back.

He handed Jamie over to Blake's care, and he took the time to go into the bathhouse to take a bath, and then put on a pair of clean clothes.

then.

Before it was too late, Arthur took Jamie with him again and came outside Mary's rented house again.

"Boom, boom, boom."

Arthur knocked on the door. This time he didn't wait too long. Mary quickly opened the door from the inside.

I don’t know what happened, but Mary seemed to only see Arthur at first glance. It might have been a few seconds.

Mary finally noticed Jamie standing next to Arthur. She opened her hands and shouted excitedly:

"Jamie! Oh, Jamie!"

Jamie and Mary hugged each other tightly.

"Come home with me, Jamie, stop making trouble... Please, my father has been very sad recently..."

Hearing Mary talk about his father, Jamie suddenly became angry again. He pushed Mary away and said angrily:

"Stop lying to me! Even if I die in front of him, he won't be sad..."

Mary was speechless and just looked at Jamie blankly.

"But... I will go home with you. Don't look at me like this. This is all for you."

When Mary heard Jamie say this, she was so moved that she murmured:

"My child, my good child..."

Arthur was watching from the sidelines.

Seeing it, it seems that there seems to be nothing of my own business here.

Arthur walked aside silently, turned around and lit a cigarette for himself.

This match is really easy to use and can also be used to light door posts.

It took about half a cigarette.

At this time, Mary finally noticed Arthur who was smoking aside. She slowly walked forward and said seriously:

"Thank you, Arthur."

"Just thank me?" Arthur said this a bit stiffly. He felt that the relationship between two people should not say thank you.

To be honest, he is actually not good at dealing with emotional problems. He just knows that he should take the initiative. For example, right now, in addition to thanking you, he actually wants to hear "Arthur, thank you for your hard work" or "Oh, Arthur" Se' is fine too.

He not only wants Mary to see his changes, but also wants to change Mary.

Of course Arthur knew that Mary had feelings for him, and he also understood that there were many other factors that prevented her from loving him.

Arthur really understands the truth, but how to do it specifically? To be honest, Arthur actually feels very Muggle.

(Fuck, the author feels very Muggle to me too! You stupid Arthur!)
"Then...do you need me to pay you...?" Mary said hesitantly. Although she felt that Arthur didn't mean this, she wasn't sure. After all, she hadn't met Arthur for a long time. Now, she wasn't sure whether Arthur was still the same person in her memory.

Arthur didn't know why, but he always felt as if a knife had been stabbed in his heart after hearing what Mary said, and he felt chills all over.

Is she talking to herself about money?He didn't know why he still felt a sense of 'grievance' when he was old, but Arthur still said:
"No, I didn't mean...that."

Both men fell silent at the same time.Fortunately, there was an understanding person next to the two of them at this time. Jamie couldn't stand it anymore. He slapped his forehead hard, then came to the side of the two and said:
"This! This is what Arthur told me. Have you two reconciled?"

"No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense." Arthur said quickly with some embarrassment.

"Pfft." Mary laughed, then she looked at Arthur with a look as if she had discovered something interesting, and then said mischievously:

"So, are we at odds with each other?"

"No... I think I'm ready to start over, but I don't know what you think yet."

Mary smiled brightly and said to Arthur:
"Oh, Arthur, I am so surprised to see you this time. You have changed so much. What surprises me the most is that you have become unexpectedly cuter. "

Arthur felt that Mary was praising him, right?He touched his hat and smiled stupidly.

"Okay, okay, stop it, I'm still here! So where will I sleep today?" Jamie interrupted, and this question successfully interrupted the brewing atmosphere between the two.

All Arthur could think about now was to go up and punch Jamie and let him sleep on the floor.

"Oh, I didn't know Jamie you would come back today, I booked the last available room..." Mary said awkwardly.

Arthur realized that this might be an excellent opportunity, and he quickly said:
"How about you two move to my hotel. I still have a room there, and then I can take you to play around for a few days."

In fact, Arthur didn't know if the room was actually available.

But Arthur promised that if Mary agreed to him now, he would make sure that the hotel had two free rooms when she stepped in.

"Your hotel? Arthur, are you no longer hanging out with your friends?" Mary said excitedly. She didn't know what she was expecting, but at this moment she could feel the truth in her heart. There is expectation.

Arthur nodded, but unfortunately he didn't notice Mary's expectant eyes. He just explained:

"Well, I started a little business with someone in Valentine. As for my friends, haven't you seen them around town? Now, I can only tell you that I'm still trying to make changes, but I need a little more time, Mary."

The anticipation in Mary's eyes dimmed a bit, but luckily she still had expectations.

Mary had known for a long time that the Arthur she knew would not leave that group of people easily.So, why bother asking?

Maybe it's because she originally thought that Arthur would never change, even for herself, but now she sees hope that some changes have indeed taken place in Arthur.

After thinking briefly, Mary finally nodded slowly and said to Arthur:

"Well, I'm sorry to bother you, Arthur, you can take Jamie to live there first. I have to tell Mrs. Chadwick that it's too late now. She has already rested. Tomorrow, wait until tomorrow for me Pay her the rent for this period, and then, could you please pick me up again tomorrow?"

Arthur was very happy when he heard that Mary agreed to stay in his hotel. Does this mean that she will stay in the town for a while after finding Jamie? Although she did not directly agree to stay for a few more days, But Arthur saw this possibility, he pretended to be calm and nodded and said:

"No problem, let's go Jamie, you have to take a good bath. Although I didn't say anything along the way, you really stink, haha."

……

Mary had been watching Arthur and the others leave at the door. She paused in front of the house for a long time until they could no longer be seen.

In fact, according to the original arrangement, since she had found Jamie, she should take him home with her.

But for some reason, she saw a change in Arthur this time when she reunited with him.

Mary has been struggling in her heart these past few days. The promises Arthur made to her and the happy memories of the past have all shaken her heart strongly.

So, Mary finally agreed to Arthur, and she decided to stay in Valentine for a while.

This is not only an opportunity for Arthur, but also an opportunity for Mary herself.
