Chapter 334 The Marionette
Ana Navarre could clearly hear the beating of her heart, that The voice was so strong that she couldn't help but worry about being noticed by Mr. Leo on the other side of the table.

The "surprise attack" of the bad stuff wasn't discussed with her in advance, so at this moment, she might be the most surprised person at the dinner table.

But she did her best to remain restrained and behaving in line with Winters.

Anna couldn't help but start thinking wildly, she felt panic and uneasy, even a little annoyed: "He... I haven't promised him yet!"

However, deep in one's heart, An emotion called anticipation rippled uncontrollably.

Ana held her breath, waiting for Mr. Leo's reply.

Leo put down his spoon, sat up straight, and replied earnestly and formulaically: "Marriage is a major event, with etiquette and process. Mr. Montagne, if you want to marry the Nava Young Lady Lei, you should first Your elders came forward to negotiate with Mrs. Navarre. As for me? I can't represent Mrs. Navarre's attitude."

"It's not difficult." Winters had a plan, he relieved: "General Serbiati I understand and respect my wishes, and he will bless me and Anna. As for the marriage contract and other procedures, my aunt can come forward, and I will write to her.”

Hearing Winters optimistic A wry smile appeared at the corner of Leo's mouth, and he looked the head.

Winters was puzzled and wanted to keep asking. But he didn't speak, because he found that Anna's face suddenly turned pale.

He subconsciously held Anna's hand, and a faint feedback came back from the palm of his hand - Anna also took his hand.

"Mr. Leo." Anna's voice trembled a little: "Where is Mrs. Navarre?"

"In Ocean Blue."

"Please Allow me to ask one more question, where is Ana Navarre?"

"You asked this well, Miss Ana." Leo replied with a smile: "Of course it's also in Aquamarine."

Winters felt like Anna was exhausted for a moment, and her body became on the verge of collapse. He subconsciously wanted to get up and hug Anna across the table, but Anna was back to normal in an instant.

"Please stop quizzing." Winters asked Mr. Leo in anger, "Isn't Anna sitting right in front of you."

"You're joking, Mr. Montagne. Leo replied at a moderate pace: "I can vouch for it with my life that Anna Nava Young Lady Lei will not be anywhere but Lamarine at this moment. To be precise, she is in the Saint Mier Ladies monastery — —And Miss Catherine, she's there too."

While Mr. Leo was halfway through, Winters had a general idea of Madame Navarre's attitude.

Recalling the amiable image of the lady in his memory, Winters just realized that he didn't know Anna's mother at all.

He looked at Anna worriedly. Madam Navarre's toughness and ruthlessness were beyond imagination. Winters blamed herself for not discussing with Anna in advance what the worst would be.

Ana also looked at Winters and said "don't worry, I'm fine" with her eyes.

Leo was deeply sighed. Although he was well prepared, when the showdown came, he couldn't bear it.

"Miss Anna, Mister Montagne." Leo coughed lightly, looking at the two earnestly: "May I ask you to take a personal stand - not a partner of the Navarre Trading Company, just Miss Anna half of your Uncle and half of your friend—speak a few words?"

"How come it's only half a friend?" Winters held Anna's hand: "Please speak."

Winters didn't dare to push too hard, for fear of pinching Anna, and wanted to squeeze as tightly as possible, because he wanted to give Anna even the smallest support.

"When I set off from Hailan, Madam only entrusted me to do one thing." Leo considered the words, trying not to irritate Anna as much as possible: "That is to bring Miss Catherine back to Hailan."

Although Leo was very euphemistic, the message conveyed was unmistakable: Madame Navarre would not even mention Anna as long as Catherine went back.

Winters' heart sank. Judging from Mr. Leo's previous statement, Mrs. Navarre did not ask Mr. Leo to bring Anna back to Hailan, which did not mean that Mrs. Navarre acquiesced to Anna staying in him. around. On the contrary, indifference is the harshest punishment.

Leo thought about it again and again and decided to speak more clearly.

Leo looked towards Anna, speaking as slowly as possible: "Miss Anna."

Anna also looked at Mr. Leo, indicating that she was listening.

"If you stay in Ironpeak," Leo said, "you can be Ana Montagne, you can be Ana Serbia, you can be anyone, but you are not It will be Ana Navarre again. Ana Navarre will be the nun in the monastery of Saint-Mière who renounces all worldly rights."

Ana listened, slightly consecrating The calm made Winters a little uneasy.

"But even if you go back to Hailan, how will your lady react... I don't know either. You may still be the heiress of the Nava Lei Family, you may be sent to the monastery, you may be directly Arrange for marriage." Leo was silent for a long time and said helplessly: "You really made the lady very angry, very angry, very angry, she... she didn't even mention you once."

Again There was a repressed silence.

"Thanks, Leo Uncle." Anna calmly nodded: "I see."

Winters was upset, and the calmer Anna was, the more upset Winters was.

When Winters wanted to continue questioning Mr. Leo, Anna was already urging the two to start.

"Please try this braised tripe." She handed over the plate with a smile: "I have tried to restore it according to Hailan's method, but because there are few seasonings, I don't know. Whether it suits your appetite.”

The material of [braised tripe] is beef abomasum, which originated from Baihuacheng and was originally a favorite food of textile workers. Niu xia shui is a deprecated ingredient, so the price is very cheap, and ordinary hired workers can also afford it.

After the introduction of Hailan, the abomasum of the braised cattle quickly captured the stomach of the dock workers. Therefore, according to the unwritten division method, braised beef abomasum is a "dock dish". Before Winters went to school in the United States, he slipped to Benwei's house to eat, and the braised tripe was at least half of the responsibility.

It's rare that Anna cooks the sea blue dishes by herself, but it's a pity that Winters is really not in the mood to enjoy it.

The dinner ended in a dreary atmosphere, Winters didn't know what to say, and Mr. Leo lost his normal wit.

Only Anna is still performing her hostess duties: maintaining the atmosphere of conversation, introducing meals to guests...as if nothing happened.

Leo didn't stay long, just moved the tableware a few times and then left in a hurry.

Winters and Anna escorted Mr. Leo out of the compound of the single officer's apartment all the way, and the hostess remained polite and reserved throughout the whole process compared to the somewhat unnatural hostess.

Watching Mr. Leo's silhouette disappear into the night, Winters thought it was time for him to say something.

He hugged Anna and said in as relaxed a tone as possible: "It seems that your mother gave you to me."

But next moment, Winters said no more There was no more one-liners, because Anna was already sobbing.

“How could mother do this?” Anna cried so hard.

…

Catherine and Scarlett sneaked into the dining room when they heard the guests leave.

Catherine glanced at the table and said firmly: "It seems that the atmosphere is not very good."

"How do you know?" Scarlett asked.

"You can't tell just by looking at the plate?" Catherine picked up the knife and poked the fish on the plate: "It didn't move much."

"Don't eat it, don't touch it. Scarlett hit Catherine on the hand, and she regretted: "What a waste, I'll take it to the guards."

At this time, Winters helped Anna, who was almost unsteady, to walk back to the apartment .

Catherine hurried out of the restaurant to check when she heard Anna's cry.

"What happened?" Catherine stood at the door in surprise, staring at Winters: "Did you bully her?"

Anna heard the voice of the younger sister and suddenly Throwing herself into the arms of the younger sister, she burst into tears.

Catherine was surprised and frightened by Anna's sudden and abnormal behavior. She hugged the elder sister stiffly and patted Anna's back lightly: "Okay, it's alright... What's the matter?"

"mother." Anna's tears wet the younger sister's hair: "how can mother do this?"

…

Five minutes later, the living room of Winters' residence.

Ana has stopped crying uncontrollably, but is still sobbing softly.

"What's the matter?" Catherine sat on the soft chair with her elder sister in her arms, and looked at Winters suspiciously: "Mother threatened Anna?"

Winters sat on the opposite side by herself , sighed: "Worse, Madame Navarre didn't even make any threats."

So Winters repeated Mr. Leo's words. Catherine frowned and listened attentively at first, but the more she listened, the less she disagreed.

"What did I think it was?" Catherine exclaimed, took the opportunity to rub Anna's hair, and briefly enjoyed the pleasure of being an elder sister: "So it was to cut off the mother-daughter relationship?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Winters, but also Anna opened her red and swollen eyes looking towards Catherine.

"After all, elder sister, you just experienced too little. You've never been taught a lesson by your mother, so if you get angry with your mother, you'll be scared like a bird." Catherine Slightly self-satisfied: "I don't believe that mother would dare to cut off your mother-daughter relationship with you."

Winters adjusted his focus uneasily: "No, I feel Madame Navarre's attitude is very firm, no It's like bluffing."

"Yeah." Katherine tenderly snorted: "How can mother bluff without making you think she's real?"

"Kate." Anna Sobbing in a low voice, she said intermittently, "I think mother is really angry."

"Of course! Mother must be very angry. Maybe even thought about killing someone." Katherine Glancing at Winters, then looking towards elder sister: "But, like I said. She won't do anything to you."

"But..." Anna hesitated, Catherine The words obviously didn't make her feel at ease.

Winters also found Catherine's attitude too frivolous and unreliable.

Catherine couldn't convince Anna and Winters, so she couldn't help but feel annoyed about hate iron for not becoming steel.

She took courage and pinched the elder sister's face: "You, throughout childhood mother held you tightly. Even if you are so far away, she is still controlling you. Since you If you don't believe me, then I won't say anything, just do what you want."

"Don't...don't..." Anna hugged the younger sister tightly and whispered, "Kate, don't... ..."

At this moment, Anna may be the most vulnerable, at least she has never seen an elder sister in this state in her short life.

"Ai, what are you afraid of?" Catherine also hugged the poor elder sister, softly comforted: "Isn't there a grandfather? Grandpa loves you so much, what are you afraid of mother doing? Mother threatens You, but her father is on your side."

"Grandpa...I don't know if my grandfather will be on my side..."

"Definitely Yes." Having said this, Catherine felt a little jealous, she snorted lightly: "Grandpa likes you the most, he has always been on your side, always."

Anna gently "Yeah", and the sobbing gradually subsided. She leaned on the younger sister's shoulder, and the two supported each other.

Whether Katherine is right or not, Anna needs an anchor to stabilize her emotions, so she subconsciously chooses to trust Katherine—for now.

Catherine hummed a nursery rhyme softly. This scene was warm and touching.

But a man who was watching might not think so.

Winters sat on the other side of the tiny living room, utterly embarrassed.

He doesn't stand, sit, walk, stay, and doesn't even know where to put his hands.

Catherine also noticed the discordant Winters, she motioned Winters out with her eyes, but Winters didn't move.

"Mr. Montagne." Catherine had to break the warm tranquility, she said with a smile: "It's getting late, we can't keep you in the accommodation, please go back."

Winters is even more embarrassed: "This is my place, yours is next door..."

Soon, Winters stopped talking. Anna turned her back to Winters, and Winters couldn't see Anna's expression. But the message from Katherine's eyes was unmistakable - "Get out."

"Oh, well...don't worry, don't cry, and me." Winters grabbed his coat and hurried across the living room, hallway, and door, into the vast winter night.

Winters, who was blown away by the cold wind, stood outside the door and didn't know where to go for a while.

The single officer residence is not a house, but a dozen small single houses in a compound for the temporary residence of single officers stationed in the camp. Mason and Andre also lived here.

As far as the eye can see, the single-family houses in the compound are all dark, and only Mason's residence has lights shining through the cracks of the windows.

Winters thought for a moment, put on his coat, and walked to the Senior's quarters.

"Okay." Katherine patted the elder sister's back and pushed the elder sister away from her shoulders: "He's gone."

Anna gave a soft "um".

Catherine was furious, she was arranging her elder sister's messy hair and complaining: "...it's a stone head, don't you know that ladies need a little time to groom after expressing their emotions? ? I have to remind him to back away... but you are born to be a match, they are both stone heads..."

Anna burst into laughter and hit the younger sister hard.

"I was crying while hugging someone, but now I'm starting to get rough again." Catherine was furious and wanted to fight back.

Suddenly, Catherine seemed to remember something, her expression became serious, and she took the elder sister's hand: "Anna." The sister's change in expression was even more unexpected: "What's wrong?"

"Although I don't think mother will really cut off the mother-daughter relationship with you; although I think that when you return to Hailan now, mother has won. "Catherine said word by word: "But at the same time, I don't think you should continue to stay here."
