Chapter 1900 (1/2)
The candela couple's small mood did not affect the progress of the dinner.
Pearl sipped the cherry wine in front of her.
It's filled with whiskey and diluted with a lot of cherry juice and sugar.
It's strange to drink, but it's not hard to drink. Instead, it's addictive.
”Pearl, do you have a second dance with someone?”
Instead of looking at his father's embarrassed face, Francis began to talk to pearl.
The first dance must belong to her father, Mr. Charlie.
This is also the Convention at the party, the first dance will be reserved for the most intimate opposite sex.
When the father is away, he is replaced by an uncle, unless the whole family is dead, or for the purpose of marriage.
Will give the first dance to the target.
”Lyle, I've made a deal with him.” Pearl responded casually.
”Lyle?”
Francis is full of question marks. She has never heard of it.
”Lyle is her playmate, lives near the docks, not descended from some powerful family.”
Li explained to her.
”An ordinary boy?” Francis doesn't understand.
It seems that both Mr. Charlie and Ms. Mary are aware and accept the boy's existence.
What's special about him is that he has been recognized by the Li family.
The second dance at the bar mitzvah.
A boy from an ordinary family
Francis suddenly felt sympathy for him and prayed for him in silence.
I'm afraid it's not just him, not even pal himself.
What does the second dance at the bar mitzvah stand for.
Should I remind her?
Francis looks at Li Zitao and finds his smiling expression.
He quietly gave up his thoughts.
Perhaps, this is the Lee's deliberate obstacle for Pearl!
Is to cut off the ties between her and the boy.
If you don't make yourself angry.
Francis, who is going to be the bride, doesn't want to make a fuss at this important moment.
If it affects her wedding, she will cry to death.
The banquet ended in a happy atmosphere. Li Zitao stopped Mason who was ready to leave: ”Mason, come with me.”
Looking at his wife and mother, Mason follows his father to the study in the corridor.
”Close the door, we have to talk!” Li Zitao went straight to the wine cabinet.
He hasn't indulged in drinking for a long time.
It's hard to be happy today. He has to drink more
”Father, is there anything you want to tell me?” Mason found a seat for himself and sat down.
”Don't be so anxious. Would you like another drink?” Li asked, holding up the crystal bottle of whisky.
”No, I've had a lot of wine at dinner!” Mason shook his head and refused.
”What a pity. These are my personal treasures.” Li Zitao sat opposite him with a glass of wine in his hand.
”It's nothing important to call you here. I just want to talk about your recent situation. Are you ok?”
Seeing him with a little doubt, Li Zitao continued: ”I know that after you become a prince, your movement and freedom are restricted.”
”It's just a father's concern for his son!” Li Zi Tao can see the suspicion in his eyes.
All year round, I stay in London alone, and I don't have many people to trust except a few of my own deputies.
The aggravation of jealousy is also understandable.
Moreover, it is one of the costs of growth.
The more you grow up, the more lonely you are.
