Chapter 1367 Sir Carter’s Blessing

"Woo..."

With bursts of breaking air, the huge Tulip cut through the sky and landed at London Heathrow International Airport.

It took another hour to tow and queue at the airport before the plane took off again. About half an hour later, the plane landed at Coventry Airport.

Not long after, Xia Yu and Elena were surrounded by a group of dozens of bodyguards out of the airport.

There were a dozen bullet-proof black Rolls Royce waiting outside the airport. After getting on the bus, the spectacular convoy drove away from Coventry Airport and the destination was Warwick Castle.

This old castle, which is comparable to Windsor Castle, bought in 1982, has been almost three years now, and Xia Yu doesn’t know what it looks like.

The management and repairs of the castle are all taken care of by special personnel, and Elena will take care of it. Xia Yu doesn’t have to bother.

He just heard Elena say that Warwick Castle in Warwickshire and Block Castle in Glasgow, Scotland, together, require investment of more than one million pounds each year in repairs and salaries.

In the original castle there were dozens of security guards, plus this time Xia Yu brought them, there were as many as 70 people, each with a gun license and legally carrying weapons.

In the basement of Warwick Castle, there is a small ammunition depot, which stores various firearms.

It is not 97 years later. The British Parliament has not passed a law prohibiting private guns. Coupled with Xia Yu’s influence in the UK, the complicated procedures for holding a gun could not be simpler here, so he is legal here. Holding a gun.

The top big families in the UK almost all have the ability to protect themselves.

The atmosphere of life in the castle is indeed different, with unique tranquility and peace.

Tonight, Xia Yu and Elena hugged and fell asleep after tossing around ten o'clock.

The next day, Xia Yu brought gifts and drove to Castle Howard in Norfolk.

At more than eleven in the morning, he finally entered Castle Howard, where he saw Duke Carter Howard and Henry and his son.

"My dear daughter, welcome home!"

"Mr. Xia, long time no see."

"Sister, welcome back."

"Sir Carter, Henry, long time no see."

After some warm and enthusiastic greetings, the four of them walked to the castle and sat down in the living room.

The table in the living room is filled with fresh fruits of all kinds, as well as all kinds of snacks.

"You are welcome, these fruits and snacks taste very good."

"Ok."

"Mr. Xia, take a closer look, you have not been to the UK for more than two years."

Duke Carter Howard looked at Xia Yu who was sitting next to Elena, his eyes a little complicated, and said with emotion.

Xia Yu was also a little emotional. He scanned the decorations in the castle. The last time he lived in Castle Howard was nearly three years ago. He never thought that the past three years would have passed in a flash.

Thinking about it at first glance now, it feels like yesterday.

"Yeah, it's been a long time indeed."

"But I should come more frequently in the future."

After sighing with emotion, Xia Yu said with a smile.

"It’s better to come a few times more. Don’t you know, your reputation is widely circulated in the upper echelons of the UK. Many people have entrusted me to find a chance to get closer to you."

"Your business in the UK is getting bigger and bigger. You should need more friends, which will be more beneficial to the future."

Duke Carter Howard said to Xia Yu with a smile on his face.

……

Relaxed small talk lasted for more than half an hour, until it was interrupted by a good lunch.

After lunch, Xia Yu went to a room under the leadership of Elena to rest.

After three o’clock in the afternoon, Duke Carter Howard invited Xia Yu to have afternoon tea. He immediately took out something from the room and went to the garden with Elena.

In the garden with fresh air, drinking Ceylon tea and tasting exquisite British desserts, not to mention more relaxing.

"Father, I have joined another nationality."

At this moment, Elena suddenly said to her father.

Xia Yu gently put down the teacup, he had to talk about business.

Duke Carter Howard was slightly taken aback, and asked softly: "Which country is it?"

"Maldives, an archipelago country in the Indian Ocean."

Elena finished, a flash of memory flashed in the eyes of Duke Carter Howard, and then he nodded slightly: "I know this country was a British colony before. During World War II, the Maldives was still a supply depot for the aircraft carrier formation."

"I remember, this country is still a country that supports polygamy."

After speaking, Duke Carter Howard looked at his daughter Elena, and finally fixed his gaze on Xia Yu.

Xia Yu's eyes were calm, and Duke Carter Howard looked at each other, and actively said: "Sir Carter, you are right, the Maldives is such a country."

"I have made all-round investments in the Maldives last year, and now the will of this country has changed."

Duke Carter Howard smiled and shook his head, his eyes returned to his daughter Elena, his expression became very serious, and he said straightforwardly: "So Elena, my favorite daughter, did you really make the decision? "

"Yes, I have spent six years thinking about this problem, I have completely figured it out."

"This is the love I want."

"Just like Dad you used to be, I don't care about other things, I hope to get your blessing." Elena answered Dad's question very firmly.

"Sir Carter, please trust me, in this life, I will take care of Elena."

"I hope you can agree to Elena to marry me." Xia Yu also said suddenly, looking firmly at Duke Carter Howard.

One minute……

Two minutes...

three minutes……

Duke Carter Howard’s eyes kept walking around Elena and Xia Yu, but he did not speak.

Naturally, Xia Yu and Elena did not speak, and still maintained a firm and sincere attitude.

Duke Carter Howard suddenly looked into the distance and said to himself, “Actually, I often think back whether I missed the initial period of intervention. I am still not sure about this question.”

"And what is most beyond my control is your growth rate, Mr. Xia."

"too fast!"

"It’s almost time that I suspected that you are a child of God. You have spent a few years standing on the top of the United Kingdom and at the same time standing on the top of the world."

"So that I can no longer interfere with you, so I choose to let Elena choose by herself. I believe in my daughter."

Speaking of this, Duke Carter Howard paused for a moment, turned his head and looked at Xia Yu and Elena again.

"Elena, my dear daughter, your life belongs to you. I will not interfere with your life. Since you have made a choice, the only thing Dad can do is wish you happiness."

When Carter Howard said this, his eyes were a little moist, and he looked at his daughter dozingly.

He knew that from the moment he promised, his precious daughter would not be able to stay with him much time.

"Dad, thank you."

"I love you!"

Elena fell into her father’s arms with tears, and Duke Carter Howard looked at his daughter with complex expressions, and gently stroked her hair.

"Sir Carter, thank you for your blessing!"

After Xia Yu quietly waited for Elena to get up again, he bowed deeply to Duke Carter Howard and sincerely thanked him.

"Tell Elena well, if you let me know that you make her sad, I won’t be polite."

Duke Carter Howard pretended to be ferocious and said to Xia Yu.

This is the first time that Xia Yu has seen such a stern expression on Duke Carter Howard’s face over the years.

"Please rest assured, I won't be willing to make Elena sad." Xia Yu's expression sincerely promised.

"Okay, I believe you."

"Let’s sit down and try these small snacks. They taste great."

Speak Duke Carter Howard takes the lead and sits down.

At this time, Xia Yu took out a beautiful gift box and handed it to Duke Carter Howard with both hands: "Sir Carter, according to our custom, this is my betrothal gift to you to represent my sincerity."

"Dad, there is this ceremony. Although it is simplified, it represents the importance of the man." Elena said to her father with a sweet smile.

She knew that Xia Yu would give her father a betrothal gift, but she didn't know what it was. She asked once, but Xia Yu didn't say it, so she didn't ask again.

"Is that so?"

"Then I will accept it."

Duke Carter Howard smiled and accepted the gift, but did not open it immediately.

After drinking the afternoon tea, Xia Yu, accompanied by Elena, took a leisurely stroll in the garden, enjoying the beauty of nature.

While Duke Carter Howard returned to the castle, he curiously opened the betrothal gift under Xia Yu.

It’s just that when he saw what was inside, his expression instantly became serious.
