While Matilda and Mary were still having the most secret conversation between them in the drawing room, Charles was still writing furiously in his study. ＋◆Top＋◆Point＋◆Little＋◆ said,

Now he has been involved in the country's most confidential activities. Even on a rare day off, he must stay focused and contact all parties.

While he was still immersed in those documents, suddenly there was a gentle knock on the door.

"Who is it?" After he came to his senses, he immediately put away his letter carefully. "What's the matter?"

There was no answer at the door.

Charles was a little confused. Just when he began to wonder if it was his hallucination just now, a quiet response finally came in again.

"It's me."

"Matilda?"

Although the voice coming from the crack in the door was slightly distorted, Charles quickly identified who it was.

Then, he immediately stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.

"Matilda, why are you here?" As soon as he opened the door, he asked with a smile, "How was your talk with Fran?"

However, his smile soon froze, because Matilda's current appearance was really unusual.

Although it was still as calm as ever, this calmness was no longer as calm as usual. Instead, it seemed a bit strange, as if there were some dark clouds shrouding it.

"Matilda. What's wrong?" He couldn't help but suppress his smile.

Then, he felt that it was inappropriate to stand at the door like this. He quickly reached out and took her hand, wanting to pull her in before talking.

However. When he just held Matilda's hand, as if he was electrocuted, Matilda suddenly threw away his hand.

"Don't touch me!" she said angrily, and then walked in on her own.

Charles was stunned by Matilda's response. It wasn't until a moment later that he came back to his senses.

He had never seen Matilda look so angry.

So, where did her anger come from?

Could it be that...the most unfavorable premonition suddenly arose in Charles's heart.

If that's the case, that's too bad!

With inexplicable panic, he carefully closed the door and walked back into the room.

Out of luck. He asked again cautiously, "Matilda, what's wrong? Who made you so angry?"

Matilda still didn't answer, she just raised her head and looked at Charles, the eyes behind her lenses were sharp enough to hurt people's hearts.

It's over, it must be because of that incident - Ciel's heart suddenly became cold.

Anxiety and panic left him speechless for a while.

After this oppressive calm before the storm lasted for a while, Matilda finally spoke.

"I just saw Mary."

Ah, it seems that she did know it completely, Ciel let out a long sigh in his heart. but. He still didn't understand why Mary wanted to see her and why she wanted to tell her everything.

Forget it, now is not the time to delve into such matters.

"Matilda. I'm sorry." He sighed sadly.

"Why do you say you're sorry, sir?" Matilda was still very calm, "You're not sorry for me? You don't have any obligations to me. You can do whatever you want."

The more she said this, the more Ciel understood, the stronger the anger in her heart became.

ah. So how should we comfort her?

Tell her that she just had sex after drinking for a while and made a mistake just for the sake of instant pleasure. In fact, he still loves her in his heart? And then put all the responsibility on Mary who seduced him?

No, let’s not talk about whether this kind of statement is persuasive. Even if it is really persuasive, he does not intend to say it - otherwise, it would be too irresponsible.

"I'm really sorry." He sighed slightly, "However, this is all my own responsibility and my own fault. Please don't blame Mary."

"Yeah, look how much fun you are having... Then why don't you just tell me clearly? Tell me that I am tired of you, and I will leave peacefully without causing you any trouble. Why do you continue to lie to me?" Matilda sneered, "Just now, you were pretending that nothing happened and coaxing me around!"

She knew that she was not actually qualified to call an army to hold him accountable, and at the same time she did not want to appear angry. She even understood that this person did not mean to humiliate her.

However, I still couldn't help but feel angry.

Since that day, every little moment of getting along with him gradually came to her mind. The good memories of the past are now doubly sad.

Charles lowered his gaze. He could understand Matilda's anger after being fooled.

So, after she vented for a while, he spoke in a low voice.

"I lied to you just because I didn't know how to face you. Please believe me, okay? I still love you."

"Yes, everyone uses this tone to explain their romantic affairs." Matilda still looked unmoved, "If I don't know anything, you can naturally continue to deal with us with peace of mind. , coaxing us around, and laughing at us in our hearts! Haven’t I seen this kind of thing enough in the social world? "

"It's not like that!" Such a fierce accusation made Charles a little anxious for a moment. He wanted to explain to the other party, but his usually eloquent eloquence suddenly became ineffective now, and he didn't know what to say. , just repeating this sentence.

Actually, that's it, right? I betrayed Charlotte with peace of mind, and betrayed Matilda with peace of mind, so what's the excuse? I am the same person as that person, what's the difference?

There seemed to be a voice taunting him in his heart.

"Are you at a loss for words, sir?" Matilda looked at him angrily. "The bad deception has been exposed, and the sweet talk has been seen through. So I don't know what to say anymore? What about those sweet words that I keep saying on weekdays? Can't I say it?"

Under Matilda's mocking gaze, Charles gradually regained his composure.

Now that things have developed to this point. There is no point in panicking. Finding a way to solve the problem is of practical significance.

"Matilda, I really have nothing to say about this matter." He said calmly, "I hope you can accept my apology. If you need to do something about it, you can just say it, as long as I can do it. I will do it all.”

"That's quite satisfactory, but what about sincerity?" Matilda still looked unconvinced, "Doesn't the idea of ​​being willing to do anything mean that you only do what you want to do? If I ask you to never do it again, Don't go see Mary."

"Sorry, I won't do this. I don't want to deceive you." Charles immediately replied, "If you ask me never to do that kind of thing with Mary again, I can agree. But, I won't Leave her alone, after all she has done so much for me.”

Matilda paused. She looked at him quietly, as if she didn't know what to say to him.

"It seems there is nothing more to say." Finally, she shook her head, seeming to be disappointed in Ciel.

Seeing that she seemed to be leaving, Ciel couldn't control himself anymore. He suddenly reached out his hand, and then forcibly grabbed Matilda's shoulder.

"Matilda, listen to me. Don't go!"

He didn't want to fall out with Matilda like this.

"Let me go, sir. You have no right to control me! I can leave whenever I want!" Matilda looked at him angrily while struggling violently. "Are you going too far?"

It is indeed too much, but so what if it is too much?

He ignored Matilda's struggle, and then pulled her into his arms.

"I know, I hurt you deeply, but...even so, I still don't want you to leave me." He lowered his head, looked at Matilda's face that was flushed with excitement, and then ignored it. He shouted regardless.

"No, you can't leave me! You promised me you would never leave me!"

"Did I agree?" Matilda asked angrily, "I just said 'maybe' and now you are repaying me with this performance, so why should I do that?"

"For me, that's already an agreement! In short, I will never let you leave me!" Charles replied arrogantly, "If you insist on having your own way...do you think I am easy to mess with? Listen, what am I? It can be done!”

"Are you threatening me?"

"This is not a threat, this is telling a fact." Charles replied calmly, "You know the consequences, right?"

Such shameless words obviously left Matilda at a loss as to how to comment.

"I said, I will never let you leave my side, and I won't hesitate to do anything for it." Holding back the depression in his heart, Charles said word by word, "If you are very concerned about this, If you’re angry, then I can’t help it. If you want to blame it, blame it on you for making me fall in love with you! Even my grandfather can’t make me leave you!”

Matilda slowly stopped struggling and just looked at Charles in disbelief.

"I really didn't expect you to be so arrogant and arrogant... Are the gentle and kind you usually just an act?"

"No, this is all me." Charles shrugged and smiled bitterly, "I like you, so I will be gentle to you, and I can't bear to let you get hurt. Moreover, I want you to enjoy everything I have Everything I can give as proof of my success. However, if gentleness does not work, I will be cruel. As long as I can achieve my goal, I will be cruel. Able to do anything... Don't think I'm just joking, I'm serious! So, I beg you, don't push me into a corner, otherwise... I can even go to my close relatives without hesitation when needed. Do it! Well, curse me, I am such a bastard! Even if you curse me, I will keep you by my side!"

Rarely in his life, he spoke out what was on his mind without reservation.

And Matilda had calmed down by this time.

Although he had planned to force him beforehand and put him in a favorable situation where he was full of guilt for himself, Ciel exploded unexpectedly. It still made her feel a little scared.

She didn't expect that he would lose his usual demeanor so quickly and threaten her so angrily. If you really leave. I'm afraid he really can do anything.

It seemed like I was really cornered. Matilda thought.

From the side, isn't this proof that he loves her?

She didn't particularly resent Ciel's threats.

Born into a family like hers. Since she was a child, following her grandfather, she has already seen all kinds of struggles. Using one's power to threaten the other party is something she is accustomed to.

From Charles's furious reaction, she had already discovered the other party's true intention - he did not just treat it as a casual show, but seriously liked her. Even if it affects his own future and interests, he will continue to do it recklessly.

Okay, isn't this the answer you've been waiting for?

An inexplicable sense of relief, accompanied by a touch of joy, lingered in her heart.

It's time to stop. To avoid pushing too hard and causing everyone to break up.

"Sir, look at you! Look at all the ungraceful things you have done!" Matilda suddenly laughed, and then sighed.

Then, in Ciel's astonished eyes, she sneered again, "Is this your attitude of asking me to forgive you?"

Although he didn't understand why Matilda's attitude suddenly changed, Charles found that there was a glimmer of hope in front of him.

"To tell you the truth, I was very angry when I heard about this, but Mary explained it to me again, so... I want to come to you to ask for a solution." Matilda calmly said explain. "I hope that after hearing what happens next, you can give me a satisfactory answer."

Then, in Ciel's doubtful eyes, she told her what Mary had told her. Then he passed it on to Charles in detail.

"How could this happen?" After hearing this, Charles felt shocked, angry and funny at the same time. "Grandpa, he...he is just messing around!"

He didn't expect that after that rare quarrel between grandfather and grandson. Because he was worried about himself, grandpa secretly did such a thing. It's simply impossible to comment.

However, although he was upset, he still could not be angry with his grandfather.

No matter this, although the method is strange, this old man really only thinks about himself.

But Matilda just looked at Charles with a mocking look, "Are you messing around? I feel like you have benefited a lot from this, right?"

"Matilda, don't say that..."

"Then what should I say? 'Sir, you have suffered...'? It doesn't seem like it, right?" Matilda still looked at Charles very calmly, "Forget it, there's no point in saying too much about this. Meaning. Since your grandfather is so opposed to our interactions, even if he goes to this extent, he will stop us, then... we should follow the old man's advice...?"

"No, no." Charles immediately flatly refused, "I will find a way to persuade Grandpa. In short, I will never agree that we will no longer have contact with each other."

"Even if he throws a fit?"

"Even if he gets angry," Charles replied in a low voice, "I will find a way to hide it from him, but if I really can't hide it and he gets angry, I will never back down. I can guarantee this."

Matilda looked at Charles quietly, until she was sure that he was serious, she finally nodded slightly.

"Well, since it's not all your fault this time, if that's what you want... then go ahead."

Then, she looked at Ciel sternly, "However, please don't fool me like you did just now! Otherwise, no matter whether you beg or threaten me, it will be useless!"

Although her voice was small, it was unspeakable good news to Ciel.

The deep joy made Charles forget himself for a moment. He hugged Matilda forcefully, and then kissed her, but Matilda did not resist.

After a long time, he gently let go of his arms. "Okay, is there anything else you want? I'll do my best to promise you anything."

"So, sir, can you let me go now?" Matilda asked coldly.

"Of course." Charles smiled and let go of Matilda.
