Xiaobei wrinkled her nose, "I don't really like that thing..." Xiaobei felt a little contradictory, but she really felt that way. She was very afraid of the cold, but she liked winter quite a lot. In winter, she still likes to wrap herself in a blanket and hold a hot water bottle.

Winston actually understood Beckham's feelings. He smiled kindly, "I don't like that thing either. People who enjoy it will obviously be deprived of some fun."

Beckham looked at him curiously.

"For example...a warm fireplace with a burning fire? Do you like that feeling? Move a sofa and sit in front of the fireplace. The fire inside is as bright and red as the sun. You can sit on the sofa and read a book. There is a A small blanket, maybe there will be a cat or a dog crawling lazily on it, the surrounding is very quiet, only the sound of the fire burning, the silence is like time has stopped?"

Xiao Bei nodded with bright eyes, I like it, I feel very, very comfortable, very, very comfortable, very, very suitable for fascinated reading!But it's not so easy to find a house with a fireplace in the city these days.

"So, if I invite you to go back to the old house with me for Christmas, would you like it?" Winston said suddenly, his deep sea-like eyes looked at her gently and expectantly, his silky and deep voice seemed to carry a This kind of hypnotic power makes people feel like a villain who is talking sweet words and abducting children.

Xiao Bei stared at him with wide eyes, surprised, "Mr. Winston?" Didn't he still talk about the fireplace just now?Why did he suddenly invite her to his old house...

"I have a fireplace in the hall of my old house, and a collie. And don't you think it would be nice to spend Christmas alone?"

"I've always spent any holiday alone, Mr Winston."

"Yeah, I mean me."

... I heard that when people get old, their skin will thicken.Although she didn't know if Winston was so thick-skinned when he was young.

Xiao Bei thought silently, hugged the hot water bottle and moved to sit cross-legged on his cushion, "I want to spend Christmas Eve with my family. I remember you have a son, sir."

"Ray hasn't been very happy to spend holidays with me since he hit puberty. He's not a kid who listens to his father."

No, she felt that she understood the feelings of His Royal Highness a little bit. There was a perverted father who liked to keep people as pets and was suspected of being a pedophile. If it was her, she would not want to go home.

In the end, Xiaobei agreed to go to his old house with Winston for the holiday. When Mr. Winston is determined to do something, there are very few times when he fails. Xiaobei is his strong enemy, but Xiaobei feels... If you don't give him some chances, how can you know if he really likes her?

Christmas Eve day.

Winston took Xiaobei to Fitzgerald's old house. Xiaobei once wondered why Winston didn't live in the castle manor like a few old nobles. Gradually, he thought that Fitzgerald didn't have his own fief. Now I know that it is. some.

It is located in a very remote location. It took more than two hours to drive north from London and I don’t know how many turns to get there. The gray Gothic castle can be seen from the top.

Here is like a beautiful paradise away from the mundane. The castle is surrounded by a very spacious lawn that has been carefully manicured. The natural undulating slopes are layered and beautifully curved, like waves; The lake formed by it; and the gray Gothic castle stands tall and straight among the emerald greens, full of a strong sense of history, like a knight.

At this time, the place was covered with snow, and the knight was wrapped in white, looking beautiful and cold.

"When Queen Elizabeth I came to the throne in the [-]th century, it became the fief of Fitzgerald. It's a pity that Fitzgerald's population is not very busy, so it can't be lively in such a big place. Except, of course, during the ball. "Winston and Xiaobei walked on this grassland that seemed to have no limit, and walked towards the castle. The voice gently entered Xiaobei's ears along the wind.

Xiao Bei looked up at him, his red ears were covered by the brown furry hat, his voice seemed to be a little unreal.

"Are there no servants in the castle?"

"Oh, yes, we have a very loyal family of retainers, and now an old steward and his wife and children are looking after it until it has a new mistress, who decides that the castle will continue to sleep quietly in the future Still buzzing. You know, I don't like living with too many people I don't know well, and it's too far from London to work, but I think I'm at an age where I can retire and enjoy myself," Winston said Then, he suddenly turned his head and looked deeply at Xiaobei.

His hint was too shocking, Xiao Bei felt his heart tremble when he saw him, and quickly turned away pretending not to understand.

Even if she rationally told her that if His Majesty the king of Fitzgerald was not sincere, there was no need to spend so much time for her, but emotionally, she was still not sure if this person was sincere, or just like all the playboys who played with girls' hearts. , telling sweet lies and making vulnerable promises.

When they were about to reach the gate of the castle, a black brindle collie rushed out.

The collie is very big, and I don’t know why, it looks a bit fierce. Xiaobei was startled, grabbed Winston’s clothes and took a step back like a frightened child. Give the dog a couple of rubs, "Haha, Caesar!" Well done!He was very happy.

The dog, who had been given a very ambitious name by its owner, wagged its tail in admiration.

"Sir, Miss Bear, come in quickly, it's too cold outside!" A kind-looking woman in her fifties came out and said, with a very kind smile on her round face. Winston told her that her name was Bella and she was the wife of the castle steward Kit.

It was nothing like the serious, proud, old nun-like noble housekeeper I imagined.Beckham thought to himself, it's all the fault of the TV series.

As soon as he entered the room, it was not so cold. Winston took off his coat, scarf and gloves and handed them to Bella, and then began to help Xiao Bei take off.

Xiaobei was not used to this, blushed, and obediently took off the coat that seemed to emit cold air, and then rushed to the fireplace that was more gorgeous than imagined.

It's so warm!
Beckham fell in love with this instantly!Like a kitten, she nestled in the dark red soft single sofa in front of the fireplace, and then suddenly heard Bella's voice in surprise.

"Master Ray!"
