Chapter 265 “make you love me”

Summer, a season of warmth and life in this world But here in the Northwest, there are no flowers, only a dryness that shi+fts froht

Nevertheless there are exceptions Currently inside the castle garden, the flower to bloonature erown in harsh conditions

Walking in front of Du Wei, Mrs Lister with her slender hands gently waves through the flower bed Mixed with her red outfit, it's enough to confuse the audience fro which was in fact a real flower, her or the plants

From behind, Du Wei had kept his eyes fixated on this woman the entire time for he was quite uncomfortable inside

With thedown at her, Mrs Lister suddenly stopped between a batch of flowers and peered into the sky Sighing, she spoke in an al it's been since I last saw such a brightly lit moon”

Du Wei smiled in return with his arms behind his back: “In the Northwest here, the wind is usually really strong, thus ht

“It's not because of the weather, it's the human heart” Mrs Lister shakes her head with a trace ofthat face of hers

How can Du Wei not understand her words with his intellect: ”You're right, it's not because of the weather, it's the person's heart”

Mrs Lister slowly turns around Under the effect of her bright red dress and the illuh to make anyone lose their breath: ”You… Still refuse to accept my offer?”

Du Wei lightly knits his brow: “I’m merely fifteen years old with hardly any experience Sure, I'th cannot corassland Also, ainst Governor Bohan,my plan to take up roots here isn't assured Sobet on me?”

Mrs Lister did not directly reply, instead, she only whispered her next words: ”You… … We're not at a party or forht now, is it that hard for you to call me by my name?”

Only after a pause did she sigh: “Why must you come up with these excuses with your intellect I admit I indeed want to have both families form an alliance and that there are some selfishness involved, but that's not all there is to it… After all, I'm also a woman”

Du Wei could not say anything so she did the honor Slowly stretching out her palm, she touches one of the thorns and pierced the tip of her finger Crying out in pain with her an to drip out from the wound

Seeing the situation, even Du Wei lapsed out for a second at her maneuver

Seely satisfied with his response, Mrs Lister flushed a shade of red on her face: “I h he was already of quite the age by that tienuinely… For this reason, I still can't forget hiht, I accidentally said so pretty and he actually jumped off the balcony just to pick it for me”

Speaking up to here, she brought her punctured finger into her ently sucked on the wound, “I’e of thirteen, I've already listened to nuressive looks from other men Even at that period, I had more men fall under my skirt than I can count… But these people in h he died early, he gave me the most peaceful and happy years of my life He was already quite old, but even then he would acco dew Topeace toabout another h those words were overwhelust towards her

Hmm … … It seee benefits

Tactfully turning around to face his about another ry?”

Du Wei shakes his head and said: “You are not wrong … … You are after all a wo and wealthy, you are not motionless” He then formed a kinder ss about yourself”

“It's just a whihs and slowly came up to Du Wei Before the two knew it, their faces were already close enough to feel each other's breath

“The truth is… … Since his death, I haven't spentover the years… Nor have I had a day where I can truly relax” Mrs Lister shakes her head, ”Maybe everyone only knows me as someone that strives to expand the fa for someone I can rely on and take me in”

She looks up and stares at Du Wei with her crystal like eyes: ”Wo tree to dwell on Over the years, I struggled and struggled, but have never been truly happy”

“I… … It's been a long tireat sadness in her voice

Du Wei didn't knohere the impulse came, but before he knew it, he had already reached out to a nearby bush and plucked one of the yelloers froh this Thorn Flower cannot match a thousandth of your beauty, please accept it”

“Flowers are all equal It's the person whoht this instance, her beauty knew no boundaries: ”If it's a gift from your honor, even if it's a bunch of hay, I will love it”

After a pause, a hint of pleading surfaced on her face: ”You… Couldn't you call me by my name?”

Du Wei is stillon the line of a calaets stea hit on: ”Hmm Mrs Lan”

“H me like this makes me very happy” She flushes red and drops her face down in embarrassment”

Using this simple move nearly caused Du Wei to lose his soul, and inwardly, he wanted to exclai!

It's true what the people of old say, ”A beauty is ht!”

“In thirty years of my life, you are the most handsome man I've encountered thus far” The Marquise's boldness caused Du Wei to drop his jaw

“Don’t get e is on the s to others that you are naturally born with a temperament to stand above others Even if tossed into a crowd, your aura cannot be covered In e sensation Though I still don't love you right now, but no matter how I think about it, you are the best candidate to be my husband In my entire life, the th Since I'o looking for a big tree to take hold”

Du Wei appropriately plugged in another seg right now”

The Marquise suddenly chuckles before sighing: ”Do you really needto accept me?”

Du Wei did not speak

“You… … What does it take tome?”

Contrary to what she expected, Du Wei found it even htforward

A moment’s hesitation, Du Weiand attractive I fear in this world no man is a match for you I… am no exception To be honest, a part of my heart also finds it hard not to fancy you It's just that my personality is quite stubborn No e as a tradeoff under any circumstances Maybe you will findyou Whatever Northwest conquest, whatever power control, I never had those in my mind Since the day I caoal, 'to be free'! This ideal may perhaps be ridiculous in your eyes, but I've stuck to it till this day Everything, fro till now, it was all for this so called freedoet in my way or take it away from me, I won't hesitate to remove thee as a chip in our exchange, wouldn't my so called freedom become a joke?”

Mrs Lister widens her eye in utter surprise

Du Wei continues: “It’s not that you’re not beautiful, nor is it because the Lister Fauy like me is on the slow side”

Savoring thebehind this so called ”freedom”, it was the Marquise's turn to be quiet

Du Wei was gradually starting to clear up Putting some distance between him and the lady, soberness retakes his ht's dinner invitation The First is naturally to thank you for the advice and the other……”

After glancing at her and seeing there are no resistance, Du Wei continues: ”Mrs Lan… The worry in your heart is nothingfuture of your Lister Household While I don't want to be that big tree that you wishonto, I can help you find one! Therefore, I believe the alliance between both families doesn't necessarily mean it has to be completed by us”

“What do you mean?” She tenses up

“I have a younger brother named Gabri” Du Wei slowly said, “We share the same mother and father The only difference between us is that his surnah he's only ten years old right now, his gifted intellect is already showing It's true the Rowling House has fallen into ruin but considering uarantee that within twenty years I can uplift uidance Conservatively speaking, a simple title of a Count wouldn't be an overstatement Of course, his personality and character doesn't need elaboration I believe such a man wouldn't be a dishonor to the lady of the Lister Household”
