Chapter 701: Light In Her Eyes
Translator: Yunyi
Lady Celia touched her head excitedly, feeling a little helpless. “Darling, how are you?”
The girl smiled like an angel.
“Mother, I’m fine.”
She walked past Lady Celia and looked at her father, who was not in good spirits. She curled her lips. “Father, thank you for your hard work.”
The girl’s sweet voice quickly brought Count Lancaster back to his senses.
He lovingly held her hand and gently kissed the back of it. “As long as you get better, I will do anything.”
Alice’s little face was still pale, but she looked extremely happy.
“Father, I love you.”
“I love you too, Alice.”
...
Alice, whose illness was under control, prepared to return to her country.
In just a few days, because of the departure of Count Lancaster, those with ulterior motives in the family began to cause trouble again and they lost a lot of business.
As Alice needed to rest for the time being, she would stay in the mansion with Lady Celia for a few more days with Elder Hou’s permission.
As for Count Lancaster, he immediately returned.
He would be busy for the next few days.
Song Yaoyao stayed at home to rest for a few days. During this period, she only went to see Alice once. She was recovering very well, and every day was more lively than the day before.
The rose was infused with vitality and became beautiful again.
Early in the morning, Huo Yunque was already nowhere to be seen. When Song Yaoyao went downstairs, she saw a slender yet elegant figure.
It was Lady Celia...
The bodyguard beside her held a parasol for her. She was like a princess who had walked out of a fairytale, wearing an elegant vintage dress and a small top hat. Her life was a fairytale in itself.
The woman with a delicate temperament walked towards her. She wrapped her fox-fur cape around her shoulders and exuded an air of nobility.
“We meet again, my dear Miss Song.”
“Hello, Lady Celia.”
Song Yaoyao was serious for a second as she raised her hand to greet Lady Celia.
“Lady Celia, are you here because something happened to Alice?”
“Thank you for your concern. Alice is doing very well.” Lady Celia looked at Song Yaoyao gratefully. “I’m sorry for my rudeness earlier. Is Mr. Huo around?”
Song Yaoyao wanted to say that she was looking for him too, but she heard a cold and low voice from outside the door.
“Yes.”
The two looked over.
The man held a bouquet of flowers in his hand. He walked over to Song Yaoyao and handed her the flowers. “Go and eat breakfast.”
Song Yaoyao’s eyes were like crescent moons. She took the large bouquet and nodded obediently as she rubbed against the back of the man’s hand coquettishly. After saying goodbye to Lady Celia, she left while humming a little tune.
Lady Celia wrapped her shawl around her shoulders and looked at the young girl’s back enviously. She was convinced that if she was not present, the young girl would have jumped up in joy.
Every woman was a child in front of the man she loved.
Lady Celia believed it. She used to be like that too.
“Lady Celia, what is it that you are looking at?”
Huo Yunque took a handkerchief and wiped his fingers gently.
Lady Celia followed Huo Yunque upstairs. Hearing this, she smiled gently and said, “There is light in her eyes. She looks very happy.
“I was happy too, once.”
Behind her, the young girl held a cup of hot milk and walked out of the dining room slowly.
A pair of bright black eyes stared straight at their backs.
In the study.
Huo Yunque took out a document from the drawer, which was in a leather bag, and pushed it in front of Lady Celia.
“You don’t regret it?”
The color on Lady Celia’s face faded in an instant, but she smiled elegantly.
“Of course.”
