"Mary?" After seeing the person who greeted her clearly, Matilda was slightly surprised at first, but she quickly regained her composure. ＠The top point＠@小＠ said,

Then, she nodded to the other person with a smile. "I didn't expect you to be here today!"

"Well, I have nothing to do today, so I'll stay here." Mary replied with the same smile.

"You've helped me a lot recently..." Matilda nodded, and then asked, "I'm going to see Fran now. Please take me there with you. I heard that she's not feeling particularly well lately. OK, so I'm a little worried..."

"She's not feeling well, isn't it because she's not in good health? Don't you and I both know that?" Mary replied in a low voice.

"Um?"

How can you put it so bluntly? This is so inappropriate... Are you still at someone else's house?

Matilda was a little confused by her answer and looked at the other party in confusion, trying to figure out what she really meant.

But Mary didn't explain much, and still had that strange smile on her face.

"What do you mean?" Matilda had to ask.

However, Mary still didn't answer, she just waved her hand gently and made a gesture.

"Shall we go and have a good talk? I have something to tell you. Something very important."

Although she still didn't understand what this person was thinking, Matilda still agreed. "good."

Just like that, in a completely different mood than before. Matilda followed Mary, who looked a little strange, back into the reception room.

"If you have something to say to me, you'd better hurry up. I'm still in a hurry..." Matilda just said after sitting down. Suddenly it felt like something was wrong with Mary's state.

"What's wrong? Mary, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

...The way she walks and the way she sits down is a little strange and unnatural. Looking at her again, it's like...

Matilda felt an inexplicable abnormality in her heart.

Because of her current state. It's a little too similar to myself at a certain time in the past...

Then, an indescribable feeling of panic suddenly emerged from her heart.

"Are you...are you okay?" Driven by this panic, she subconsciously asked again, but the meaning was completely different from before.

"Oh, not bad, my dear friend." Mary frowned slightly, then reluctantly sat down again. Then he looked at her with a smile, "I'm just a little busy lately, so I feel a little uncomfortable."

She didn't intend to hide anything, so she looked very calm and composed.

"Well... As for whether it's okay or not." Mary narrowed her eyes slightly, as if thinking, and then laughed again. "Overall, it's pretty good? It feels pretty fun."

Look at her look. Matilda knew that her guess was correct.

However, she didn't intend to delve into this matter. After all, this is someone's freedom, and she has no right to interfere. But... there was one thing that she suddenly cared about very much, and that was... who was the person who had become good with her?

A terrible but reasonable guess suddenly appeared in her mind, and her face suddenly turned pale.

Could it be...that person?

"Yes, Matilda, I have made an important decision for myself recently," Mary continued calmly, as if she had understood what she was thinking, "I invite you to come and talk today, I just want to explain it to you so that you don’t blame me..."

really!

From this answer, Matilda found that her worst guess had been confirmed.

Sure enough, that person!

So this is actually the case? !

Matilda was startled at first, and then unexpectedly, anger arose in her heart.

Although this was only Mary's side of the story, and she would have to check it later, she already believed what Mary said in her heart - she had no reason to tell a lie that could be exposed immediately.

Then, he was indeed betrayed inadvertently.

No, it's not even a betrayal, it's just thrown away like an item that someone got tired of playing with.

No wonder he hasn't come to see me recently.

An unbearable bitterness came over her.

Although she was not unprepared to be separated from him, this sudden blow still exceeded her expectations.

She had known for a long time that this man was going to get married, so if he left her and returned to his wife's arms, she would not find it difficult to accept it, and she had even made plans to have a complete relationship with him one day. Mental preparation for separation.

However, such a result was not what she expected to see.

Is this the person who talks sweetly about loving me while continuing to flirt with women without any scruples? Matilda thought.

And I actually believed him.

Sure enough, every man is so unreliable.

What's even more irritating is that even at this moment, that person is still deceiving him with sweet words, and instead asks Mary to tell him, whether it is intentional or unintentional, this is invisibly doubly humiliating him.

Mary must have learned about her affairs from him. It is conceivable that they must have been making fun of themselves wantonly at the time... How abominable!

"Oh, I know, I know...Okay, okay, this is your private matter, I have no right...I have no right to interfere. I have something to do, so let's not talk about it for now...I have something to do, so I'll leave for a moment. You Don't worry, if it's true, I...I won't hinder you, I will leave, really..."

Matilda, who had always been very calm and gentle, couldn't help but feel a little angry at this moment, and even became a little incoherent. Because of this, she didn't want to hear any more and just wanted to ask Charles again right away to find out. If it's true, just say goodbye and leave to avoid further humiliation.

While talking. She was holding back tears, feeling ashamed and angry.

However. Mary's next words made her even more confused.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not protesting against you, nor am I intentionally humiliating you." The smile on Mary's face remained unchanged, and she gently grabbed Matilda's hand, trying to make her Calm down. "On the contrary, I want to explain things clearly to you calmly..."

"Is there anything else to say?" Matilda smiled bitterly, but still forced herself to maintain her dignity so as not to cry in front of Mary. "Don't worry, Mary, I don't blame you. I deserved it. I broke up other people's marriages and now deserve God's punishment... Really, I don't feel sad and I won't make a fuss. It's embarrassing for everyone. I just pray that you don't fall victim to the worst social habit. Well, I wish you happiness in the future."

"Oh. You're still not angry! Isn't this a clear curse?" Mary looked at Matilda and couldn't help laughing. "If I don't make it clear to you, I think you are going to secretly Curse us for the rest of our lives! However, I have to tell you something. In fact, you can't blame us entirely for this, especially Charles. In fact, we did that mainly because of you. !”

Judging from Matilda's reaction, Mary is sure that she is indeed truly in love with Charles. Therefore, she also had some doubts in her heart - it seems that the combination of the two of them was not just the result of a transaction?

Forget it, there is no need to delve into this kind of thing.

"What do you mean?!" Matilda forced herself to calm down again and looked at Mary.

Mary's expression darkened little by little, and then she continued speaking word by word.

"All of this is just because of the inexplicable fantasies of a bad old man..."

Then, she explained everything to Matilda exactly what the Marquis of Treville had said to her, as well as the tasks assigned to her. She even told Matilda exactly how she had seduced Charles. Gave it to the other party.

Matilda listened to her narrative quietly, a little confused at first, but soon stunned.

"You...you..." Her breathing became a little rapid and her face turned red, "You can really do it!"

"Yeah, when he made that request to me, I was so angry." Mary nodded.

"Not just him, but you too!" Matilda looked at Mary sadly, "Are you crazy? Do you obey this kind of thing? You are already this age, do you just do whatever others tell you to do? "

"Why can't I obey?" Mary asked with a sneer. "Can't I do what you can do?"

"We are different!" Matilda shouted back, "I chose on my own, no one forced me! Why would you do such a thing without love? Is there no other place in the world for you to go?"

The smile on Mary's face suddenly disappeared.

She was really hurt.

"Yes, you are right, we are different. We used to be the same, but now we are different." She raised her head and looked at Matilda expressionlessly, "We were equal people originally. But fate played a trick on me, forcing me to rely on others Now, muster up the courage and energy to please others. I have become humble, so I have to obey the orders of a bad old man without any complaints - but you, you can naturally enjoy your glory calmly, and then despise me and think. I'm a whore!"

"No, that's not what I meant!" Matilda explained quickly.

"Yes, you don't mean that. You still regard me as a friend and give me charity." There was already a trace of tears in Mary's smile, "But please put yourself in my shoes. Should I accept this kind of alms from above? Or should I find a way to make myself equal to you again? Maybe you have other opinions, but I am different. And... I will never change my mind! "
