Chapter 56

Mrs. mella lowered her head in a hurry to pick up the broken pieces of the tea cup, and Ceres stepped forward.

"Just sit down, madam. I'll take care of these."

Mrs. mella was stunned, then slowly returned to her seat, but her hands were twisted uneasily and her head was lowered.

"I'm sad to hear that. Lord Angus is a kind man. Why did it happen to him Her voice is intermittently, it seems very uncomfortable.

"I beg your pardon." Then Lorraine Hill waited for Mrs. mella to ease her spirits.

After a while, Mrs. mella stopped sobbing, dried her tears with her handkerchief, and slowly raised her head. Her eyes were red and swollen.

Lorraine Hill saw that she was calming down and continued to speak.

"Although Lord Angus has gone, he asked me to take care of you and your children before he died. Please rest assured."

"Thank you, Miss Lacey. I... I don't know how to repay this kindness... Just say what you want. "

"There's nothing to ask for. I just want to see your child today." Lorraine Hill gave the main purpose of the day.

"Yes, just a moment. Dill is upstairs. I'll call him."

"Don't bother. Let's go together. It's just my first time here. I'm very interested in the arrangement here." Lorraine Hill shook his head, gave a kind smile, and got up from the sofa.

"OK... OK, you and me." Mrs. mella hesitated, then took Lorraine hill to the front.

The building has three floors. The second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the attic connected to the roof, which is used for storing sundries. The floors in the house are paved with marble, and the doors, railings and furniture are made of mahogany. It doesn't look old. It should be new in recent years.

Through the corridor on the second floor, at the end of a room, Mrs. mella took out a key to open the door. A 10-year-old child was in the room. He was on the ground, painting with colored paint, and there were many colored building blocks scattered on the ground beside him.

When the child saw the door open, he looked up and was very happy to see Mrs. Myra. He took the painting to Mrs. Myra as if it were a treasure.

"Mom, I drew it. Is it good?" The child was glad to see his mother suddenly appear.

On the thick white paper, there is a graffiti like painting of a villain, yellow paint smeared with exaggerated hair, the mouth is light red paint, the corners of the mouth split, it seems to be laughing. The whole can only barely see that this is a person, all kinds of pigments piled up on the paper, it is very messy.

"I'll make you laugh. Miss Lacey“ Mrs. Meila came forward and quickly pulled the child over. The picture was also thrown aside.

"Nothing." Lorraine Hill went to pick up the picture and asked the child.

"Who is it, dill?"

"It's mom."

"Why is mother's hair yellow?"

"Because I want my mother to take me out like the sun... And to smile, my mother seldom smiles at me..." the child's voice was a little low.

Listening to the child's words, Mrs. mella was a little shy and wanted to stop her, but she couldn't speak to her face.

Lolan Hill didn't mean to be a joke. He looked at the child in front of him. He was pulled by his mother. He was not tall, and his clothes were clean. His big eyes looked at her straight, with curiosity and admiration in his eyes.

"Come on, sister." Lorraine Hill crouched down, clapped his hands, looked up at the child with a smile on his face.

Mrs. mella had to let go and let the child walk by.

Lorraine Hill touched Deere's head and blinked to check on the child.

On the whole, he was relatively healthy. His eyebrows looked like his mother's, soft and angular, unlike Angus's.

Then there was another conversation. After a while, Lorraine Hill took out a snack box for her children and invited them to move to the headquarters of the Caritas chamber of Commerce, because it was safer there.

However, Mrs. Meila refused, and it was not good for Lorraine hill to persuade her all the time. Before she left, she said that she would come to see them again for a while.

After putting on the black hood robe again and boarding the carriage, Lorraine hill is slowly thinking about the meeting process.

"Ceres, how Mr. Angus got to know Mrs. mella."

"It was a banquet 10 years ago, and the master's career began to flourish. He often attended banquets of all parties. Once he was drunk, and miss mella happened to be a member of the banquet. She was the daughter of a small businessman."

"So the Drunken Master had a relationship with Miss mella, and then miss mella's father wanted to send her to the side room in order to please the master. Although the master did not agree, he gave Meila's father a lot of benefits in order to make up for her guilt. "

"With the coming and going, Meila's father became more and more greedy and opened his mouth more and more. He even threatened the master not to tell the story."

"Originally, the master was still thinking about love and tolerating everything. After that time, he sent someone to fight directly. Mrs. Meila's father almost went bankrupt and finally settled down. Mrs. Meila was in the middle. She had asked the master for a lot of benefits on behalf of her father. She was very upset all the time. Later, she was even more afraid of the master."

"So..." Lolan Hill listened to the housekeeper Ceres's narration, and always felt that there were some vague places in it.

Why did Mrs. mella feel more frightened than sad when she heard about Angus. Why does Madame Meila lock dill in her room? Is she worried or abusive. Why did she refuse when she was invited to live in the headquarters by Lorraine hill without any hesitation.

There should be something hidden in Mrs. mella's heart. There may be another secret between her and Angus. Lorraine Hill sips her tea, but she is thinking about how to find out the truth.

It was a long time before she spoke.

"Ceres, can you arrange for someone to inquire about Mrs. Myra's past acquaintances? I want to know what happened to her ten years ago before she contacted Angus, and what happened before and after that."

"I'm afraid it's very difficult, miss. After all, it's been ten years."

"Even in ten years, many things will leave traces. You can send someone to check it."

"Yes, Miss Lacey."

After returning to the headquarters, lorenthal dealt with some business affairs of the chamber of Commerce. Then in the evening, after dinner, she sat on a chair on the balcony to have a rest, watching the night scene of the stars and lights in the sky, and the gusts of evening wind blowing, bringing a little cool.

The maid chief, ChElSEY, gently pushed open the French window on the balcony and came over.

"Miss, did you call me?"

"Yes, I'd like to ask you to do something." She stopped a little, looking at the distant lights, the wind slowly blowing through the woods outside the balcony.

"The letters sent by Sailesh secretly investigated the manager, and all the circumstances he had contacted with him during those days, and then reported to me. You are the first one to come to caritus. There should be many people you can trust

Lorraine Hill turned his head and watched the maid's long, soft hair flutter slowly in the night wind.
