Chapter 101: Elbow Turned Outward
"Miss, although it may make you unhappy, I still suggest you change places."
On the road in the Flatiron district of Manhattan.
In a stretched Lincoln sedan.
The middle-aged woman in the passenger seat turned her head and said to Ariana Rockefeller, who was dressed in a fancy dress, "It's just a small matter. I don't think Mr. Blackburn will mind."
"But I do mind."
Ariana looked at the woman calmly, "Aunt Charlotte, I invited Milo to come here. Now he is waiting for me in the restaurant. And you told me to change places. What do you think this will make my fiancé think?"
Charlotte wanted to retort, he is not your fiancé yet.
But think about it, this matter is basically confirmed.
Neither Rockefeller nor Blackburn will likely go back on their word.
What Ariana said was not wrong, so Charlotte had to say softly, "But little Arthur sent a message that a large number of reporters came to the restaurant. And they came with Mr. Blackburn. Mr. Blackburn may have some ideas..."
"You mean he wants to take advantage of me?"
"That's not what I meant..." Charlotte said quickly.
"Even if he wants to use me, I will go anyway."
Ariana looked at Aunt Charlotte with a serious face, "We are originally a marriage. The essence of marriage is cooperation. In this case, isn't it normal for him to use me?"
But now it is Morgan who wants to deal with him.
Although it is only a small part of the huge monster called Morgan.
But now Morgan and Rockefeller are at the most critical period.
If you get too close to him at this time, someone in the family will definitely be unhappy.
Charlotte could only think about these words in her heart.
She didn't dare say it.
Because in a way, Ariana is not wrong.
Morgan and Rockefeller have cooperated and are important allies.
Isn't Blackburn the same? Even from Ariana's point of view, Blackburn is more important.
In the future, Blackburn will be Ariana's husband's home.
Rockefeller is just Ariana's maiden family.
For Ariana.
It is hard to say whether the husband's family or the wife's family is more important in the future.
"Mammy, tell the reporters in Salzberg."
Not far away on the street, Eleven Madison Park is visible to the naked eye.
Under the cover of night, a large group of reporters surrounded the restaurant.
Before getting out of the car, Ariana looked at Charlotte and said, "Tell the reporters from Salzberg to take good pictures of me and my future husband."
After finishing speaking.
Ariana, who was still dressed up despite her young age, got out of the car with a smile on her face.
The moment she got off the car, the surroundings became a sea of flashing lights.
If they have not practiced, most people would easily be temporarily blinded at this moment.
Ariana won't.
This is one of the things she included in her family education.
Miss Rockefeller, who was not yet fifteen, had been practicing for this day for a long time.
And now, she has finally appeared in the eyes of the social media public for the first time.
Inside the restaurant, Milo had just finished two small desserts.
"boom!"
There was a sudden thunder outside.
Then the sound of raindrops kept coming in.
Milo stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the street after the rain.
The torrential rain typical of spring in New York was now pouring down continuously, as if a vast white fog was rising in the city.
He also saw the reporters who were hiding from the rain, and Ariana who was walking in at a quick pace.
She was obviously dressed up today.
Since it was still a little cold in New York in the spring, she was wearing a white tweed skirt.
It was woven with intricate patterns and trimmed with silk lace; she also wore a thin pearl necklace around her neck.
She was holding a small gift box in her hand, which made her look both cute and tender like a young girl.
"Milo! Sorry, I'm late." After coming in, Ariana apologized to Milo with a smile.
"Will it be cold?" Milo asked with concern, "It suddenly rained so hard..."
Ariana glanced at him softly, "It's not cold."
"Let's go. I don't know if you're hungry. I didn't have any snacks this afternoon, but I'm a little hungry anyway."
Milo walked up to her naturally, took her free hand, and walked towards the seat in the middle of the restaurant.
The movements were natural, as if this was how he and Ariana were supposed to be.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At the door, Charlotte, who ran in in a somewhat embarrassed manner, saw this scene.
The nanny thought, no wonder the young lady was so proactive.
The young master of the Blackburn family is even more handsome in person than in photos and videos.
Before she even walked to her seat, Ariana had already picked up the gift box in her hand with a smile, "This is your birthday present!"
Milo took it and the two of them had already arrived at their seats.
Milo helped her move her seat first, and after she sat down and thanked him sweetly, he returned to his seat with the gift box.
"Can I open it now? Or should I open it later when I get back?"
He asked Ariana with a smile.
"It's yours now. You can do whatever you want with it." Ariana smiled sweetly.
"good."
So Milo opened the birthday gift Ariana gave him right in front of her.
As he began to dismantle it, Ariana's voice rang out.
"I didn't know what you liked. I asked my mom, dad, brother, and grandfather. Three of them suggested I give you a watch, but I saw you were already wearing a watch on your wrist."
"So I gave you this, a... pocket watch!"
Milo also opened the gift box, and found a beautiful platinum pocket watch lying quietly inside.
“I didn’t buy it…”
Seeing Milo looking at the gift she gave him, Ariana lowered her voice and said with a smile:
"I stole this from my grandfather's study. He told me that this was the pocket watch my great-grandfather wore, and he gave it to him as a birthday present. My brother liked it very much and asked him for it, but my grandfather refused!"
Milo picked up Ariana's gift under the warm lights of the restaurant.
It looks very beautiful at first glance. Time has gently caressed the delicate lines on its surface, and the golden case flickers slightly under the light, as if it contains the secrets of the old times.
On the dial, the finely engraved Roman numerals and the hands quietly face each other. Each beat is a gentle narration of the past, showing the beauty of classical elegance.
The background color of the dial looks like a map.
Milo took a closer look and found that it was indeed a map. It seemed to be a map of New York, but it was not very complete and looked like it was from the last century.
Ariana's great-grandfather was the famous Rockefeller Jr.
The former king of New York.
It seemed quite normal that the pocket watch he used had a map of New York on it.
"It's very beautiful. I like it very much."
Milo looked at Ariana and said in a gentle voice, "But... won't David be angry? If I bring it to your house next time, will David beat me and take it back?"
“Haha~”
Ariana giggled, looking like she couldn't help laughing. "Then I can just steal it back. Anyway, I know where my grandfather hides things!"
It looks like his elbows are bent outward.
