A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 67 Is This a Date?

The next day, early in the morning, Arthur got up and dressed up.

Then he went out on foot to pick up Mary.

Arthur, who was in a good mood along the way, said hello to every passerby he saw. Even the wild dogs passing by were petted by Arthur, who called him "good boy".

This state of affairs continued until Arthur arrived at Chadwick Farm.

Then Arthur's good mood was ruined.

After knocking on the door of Mary's house, Arthur was greeted by Mrs. Chadwick who had pointed a gun at him before.

Fortunately, there was no gun in his hand this time, and it was obvious that Mary had already greeted her.

"Mrs. Lington!" After Mrs. Chadwick greeted Arthur coldly and politely, she turned and shouted towards the house.

While waiting, Mrs. Chadwick not only blocked the door, but also looked at Arthur with an awkward look. Then she deliberately raised the decibel level and called "Mrs. Lington" several times.

for all this.

Arthur chose to turn a blind eye. His good mood would not be ruined by this bitch.

At last.

When Mary came to Arthur with a small handbag, Arthur showed a smile that he thought was brilliant but was actually too stiff, and then quickly took the luggage. In the end, he did not forget to use his slightly awkward smile He praised in a tone of voice:
"This outfit looks great on you, Mary."

Although Arthur felt that this was a sincere compliment, no one would think it was a good compliment.

Except for Mary, it seems.

"Oh, Arthur, you don't have to force yourself to say these words." Mary covered her mouth and smiled, she knew that Arthur was sincere.

Arthur quickly explained:
"No, this is not forced. I am sincerely complimenting your... clothes."

Mary turned around gently, then looked at Arthur who was stunned, and said with a smile:

"Well, now I'm sure that you are sincerely complimenting me on my clothes. Then let's go."

The two walked in tandem, but Arthur had longer legs and a longer stride.

So Mary naturally stepped forward and took Arthur's arm, and the two of them walked side by side along the roadside toward Valentine.

Before Arthur came, he was very thoughtful. It might not be convenient for Mary to ride a horse, so he walked over by himself.

But in fact, he hired a carriage, but he didn't know why the carriage didn't show up on time. Arthur thought it might be late.

Originally, Arthur was going to tell Mary that he had hired a carriage and they could wait at the farm gate.

But the moment Mary sagged on his arm, Arthur changed his mind.

Maybe it would be good to walk there like this now?
So while Arthur and Mary are walking, let's take a peek at what Arthur wrote in his diary last night after returning home:
"I feel like the luckiest man in the world, but I also feel like a fool. That woman really fascinated me, and I know there won't be another woman in the world who can fool me like she did." Although I was sure that I would never become a fool because of her again, I don’t know why, but now I think I will eventually."

"So, how are you doing? Arthur." Mary asked.

"So-so, still the same." Arthur thought for a moment and replied. He was not sure what Mary wanted to know.Mary was obviously not satisfied with Arthur's answer, and she asked:

"I mean, haven't you met a better woman than me in the following days?"

Facing this straight shot, several names flashed through Arthur's mind, and before he was about to answer, Mary chuckled and said:

"Just pretend I didn't ask, I already have the answer."

Arthur was a little flustered, he hadn't answered yet, what answer did this woman have?He quickly explained:
"It's not what you think, I, I did meet a few nice girls, but... But I still can't forget my feelings for you."

Mary bent slightly and put her face in front of Arthur's who had his head lowered. She looked at him and said:
"Huh? That's what I thought. Oh, Arthur, you should really see the look on your face now."

Arthur looked at Mary's face as she leaned in front of him, and he could even see the embarrassed expression on his face at this moment in her eyes.

Fortunately, a shout from not far away saved Arthur from this helpless state.

"Mr. Morgan! I'm sorry, I had a bad stomach this morning, so I'm late. Fortunately, I met you here, otherwise I really don't know how to express my apology to you." The coachman said apologetically, He neatly pulled the carriage to the side, and then the man got off, naturally took the luggage from Arthur's hand and put them away.

Arthur's expression was a little strange, but he still helped Mary open the carriage door, and then he extended his hand to Mary in a gentlemanly manner and said:
"Please get in, beautiful lady."

"Won't you come up together?" Mary held Arthur's hand and boarded the carriage, turning around and asked.

Arthur smiled and said:

"I have to drive a carriage for a beautiful lady."

Arthur came to the carriage, took the reins from the surprised coachman, and then stuffed a lot of money into his hand while the coachman stared at him in confusion, and finally patted his waist and left him behind. On the same spot, he drove the carriage towards Valentine Town.

Mary popped her head out of the window and asked Arthur:

"Arthur, why did you leave the coachman there?"

Arthur smiled and replied:
"That man is not a serious coachman, don't worry, I gave him the reward he deserves."

It turns out that Arthur didn't realize that something was wrong at first.

But the coachman called him by the wrong name. After careful inspection, he found that this man was not the coachman he hired at all, and he clearly remembered that the name he left when he hired the carriage was Arthur Callahan.

It was not 'Mr. Morgan' as the coachman called him.

Although Arthur didn't know who was plotting against him, he just patted the coachman's waist and found that he did not carry a gun.

So Arthur just left the coachman on the side of the road.

anyway.

For Arthur, the most important thing right now is to get Mary to the hotel safely first.

As for other questions, we have to wait and talk about them first.
