Her Overbearing Man

"According to them, it's true that they saw Miss Mabel. It seems that they heard something, and they also found a man and a woman at that time. It's just that they didn't seem to be simple people, so in order to avoid disturbing others, they didn't move at last. Although they followed, they were thrown away on the way..."

If Mabel was here at the moment, he would be able to hear that it was the voice of the chief steward of the castle, who was always silent. I just don't know if it was the night, and there was less warmth and kindness in his voice in the day.

As Janet listened to the housekeeper's words, her calm breath gradually increased, as if something was hard for her to accept, and she could not restrain her noble grace.

The housekeeper noticed this and was stunned for a moment. Then he reminded Janet in a low voice, "Miss Janet, please pay attention to your manners..."

The tone is still respectful, but with some severity.

In this castle, the Earl and the etiquette teacher come out. Only the old housekeeper who has worked for the Durand family for more than 50 years, even the Earl, is qualified to say such things.

At the housekeeper's words, Janet's breathing became disordered for a moment, but the next moment she forced herself to calm down, "I'm sorry..."

The housekeeper didn't feel proud of Janet's apology to his servant. He didn't even change his tone. "Miss Janet, you don't need to apologize like me. I just want to remind you to pay attention to your identity."

Although it didn't sound very nice, it didn't make people find it hard to accept because his tone was too gentle and respectful.

Jennie nodded. "I see."

The housekeeper just showed a smile, which was blocked by the night. Only he knew the smile, but Janet didn't notice anything. The smile was fleeting, and the housekeeper's face was expressionless again.

Then he said, "I've arranged for someone to check the identities of the two, but it can be confirmed that Miss Mabel and the two should know each other..."

Janet, who had been listening carefully, suddenly raised her hand and interrupted the housekeeper's words. Her tone was a little impatient and unhappy. "I should be able to be sure. How can I be sure? Just because they looked at us?"

The housekeeper straightened his mouth and looked at Janet with deep eyes. Miss Mabel seemed to have a great influence on Miss Janet. It's not good to go on like this. It seems necessary to inform the count of the matter.

Although he thought so, there was no change on the housekeeper's face. Of course, even if there was something, Janet couldn't see it now. He bowed his head with more respect and didn't remind Janet to pay attention to the noble manners as before, just like he couldn't see it.

She said slowly: "at that time, the nearest Julie heard the woman of country Z yell two words, which seemed to be a name. That's how we judged..."

name?

Janet suddenly clenched her hands. The night set off her eyes more and more deeply. She remembered the name of Mabel

"What's the name?"

“Linlin……”

Julie, who doesn't know Z, said this. Even if the housekeeper can find someone to translate, she can't be sure which two words are Z.

However, just these two words are enough for Janet to have a huge wave in her heart. Sure enough

"Did she... What did Mabel say at that time?"

Janet's voice trembled slightly, as if she couldn't control herself. She asked calmly.

It's like not noticing that Janet's manners are completely lost. The housekeeper's voice is so bland that it makes Janet feel more difficult to be calm.

"Miss Mabel didn't say anything, but Julie said that something was wrong with her at that time. Maybe she remembered something..."

The housekeeper's voice is still down, but Janet is not in the mood to study any more. Her eyes are tightly closed, and she seems to want to completely cover up the concussion in her heart with this appearance. However, her breathing is getting deeper and deeper, and she seems to be suffering from some serious illness in the night. After a while, she finally calms down.

Looking at the housekeeper who was still standing there, she seemed to be waiting for her next instruction, "you..."

However, after she said a word, she was dumb. She didn't know what to say. Her eyes were struggling, uncomfortable, and confused. But the confusion didn't pester her for long. Her eyes gradually became firm. "Go down first, and call the doctor in two days..."

He just nodded and answered without any objection, as if he would do whatever Janet said.

"Yes, Miss Janet."

The housekeeper bowed his head, drew back slowly, opened the door, and when it was about to close, he heard Janet's hasty voice, "wait a minute!"

After a meal, the housekeeper came in again. "Miss Janet, what can I do for you? Sister, do you have anything else to tell me? "

"The doctor, let him come tomorrow."

As soon as she finished, Janet closed her eyes, as if afraid she would regret it.

The housekeeper was stunned for a moment. This is probably the first time that the housekeeper showed his emotion here. However, he soon converged and didn't let Janet find anything. "Yes, as you wish."

Finally, he added, "it's very late. I hope Miss Janet has a rest early. Good night."

However, Janet didn't give him any more reaction. She seemed to forget that he was still in the room.

The housekeeper didn't say anything any more. Instead, Janet was silent. Her breath was a little oppressive. The housekeeper's witty steps retreated quietly. The light from the outside corridor was covered up, and the room became dark in an instant.

Janet had enough courage to open her eyes.

Blue eyes in the night as if all dim many, with some obscure.

Although it was very late, Janet didn't feel sleepy now. On the contrary, because of her complicated mood, her heart became more and more tangled and difficult to sleep.

I don't know if it's Janet's own illusion. She always feels that the room where she has lived for several years suddenly gets colder and colder, which makes her shiver.
