Chapter 326 Asking the Blind for Directions
Mr. Groner smiled and said, "If I call you by your full name, you will always feel the need to kneel down and confess your guilt to Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Xiaoli was amused by him.
He is not like the British, he is very straightforward and frank, which is rare.
Henry asked her to sit on the sofa, but said to Oscar in a neutral tone: "Some family documents need your signature, and the butler has prepared them."
This means he should step aside so that Henry and Su Xiaoli can talk alone.
Oscar looked at Su Xiaoli with some concern.
Su Xiaoli gave him a calm and reassuring smile in return.
Henry took a sip of coffee calmly.
Oscar had no choice but to do as his father instructed.
After he left, the remaining two people didn't know where to start for a moment.
It was Henry who came straight to the point, "Are you wondering what the mistress of our family is like?"
Oh? He still calls her "Mistress".
Su Xiaoli smiled thoughtfully.
She was indeed confused and wanted to ask for the secret of how to negotiate successfully with the "hostess".
The key to solving the problem, perhaps... lies in the relationships within this family, and the "hostess's" own desires and fears.
This may also be one of the reasons why couples break up.
At this moment, she really wanted to know more, but since Henry didn't say it proactively, she had other questions to ask.
"Her name is Saoirse," Henry calmly spoke about the person and her story.
Henry is a great storyteller, especially his own story.
A morning of drinking tea, Henry talked leisurely and Su Xiaoli was attentive.
At first, Saoirse was just a person who liked cultural relics, but later... it seemed that her soul was gradually devoured by cultural relics? So... a real-life version of "The French Lieutenant's Woman"? It's just that the woman in the book loves freedom to the point of being neurotic, while Saoirse loves cultural relics.
When fiction shines into reality, all kinds of things are possible.
She looked calm, but with a wry smile.
It was not until Su Xiaoli heard that James was not Saoirse's biological child that she couldn't help but exclaim.
She couldn't believe her ears.
"Oh my God! Is he... yours?" Su Xiaoli asked blankly with a trembling voice.
"Yes, Jim is my child, but not Saoirse's..."
"She just does it for the family's reputation, or maybe she doesn't care at all and just wants to acknowledge the child." Henry answered slowly.
"Where's James' biological mother?"
"He has passed away."
"Where is my grandparents' home?"
"No one."
Su Xiaoli's ears were buzzing and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time.
It’s so sad. The little darling must have suffered a lot.
"Does Oscar know?"
"I know he knows, but we didn't say it out loud." Henry didn't care at all.
What I mean is that such a small thing is not worth making a fuss about.
"Henry, I don't understand. You two loved each other so much, and I think you still love her. Why did you do something so big outside of marriage?"
It's so low that it goes through the center of the earth. What's the point?
Henry was silent.
"Love is perfect, but human desires and relationships are not," he said slowly.
Henry's eyes were dim. "She succumbed to her inner desire and desperately wanted to be with the 'artifact' forever. I found out and got angry."
Su Xiaoli was even more puzzled. So he used extramarital affairs and illegitimate children to provoke her?
What kind of brain circuit was this?
She felt the dimensional wall.
"So James's appearance was just to piss her off? To make her love you more?" She tried to understand.
"Yes." Henry remained calm.
"She still loves me. She hasn't forgiven me until now, which just shows that she still loves me." Henry said affectionately and without any shame. "It's a pity that I failed too. She still loves cultural relics more."
Oh My God.
Su Xiaoli screamed in her heart, and felt the hairs on her body stand up.
This couple is just as perverted, and both have strong execution abilities. They do things as soon as they think of them, and their efficiency completely transcends their awareness of the absurdity of their behavior.
Can't she just be a normal person? Well, she wasn't too normal when it came to the power of attorney.
It's just a pang of heartache, poor little James.
Neither side can rely on each other, yet being used by both sides.
How could I have such a father! The one who really abused the child was not Oscar, but this guy! What a scumbag father indeed.
Regardless of how neurotic Saoirse is, Su Xiaoli has completely become disenchanted with Henry.
"OK," Su Xiaoli pondered for a moment, "So Saoirse loves cultural relics so much that she is lonely and helpless? And your love for her may be similar."
"I think so."
"Is it love? Or is it crazy and pathological narcissism?" A thousand divine beasts were galloping through Su Xiaoli's heart. She couldn't help but retort and was already speaking bluntly to Henry.
The strong disdain in his words was very obvious. These aristocrats have nothing better to do than to eat their fill.
Are you angry and can't get it, so you have to do so many nonsense and thankless things to torment each other? You adults can play and torment as you like, but the key is to implicate the children, don't you understand? Henry was silent again.
No one had ever said such rude words to him before, and to be honest, he was not angry at all.
Instead, do you feel like “you understand me too well”?
"Well, how do you think we can get the power of attorney from her?" Su Xiaoli ran out of patience, and in a deep voice, he quickly returned to the topic.
"I think it's better to give her the cultural relics." Henry replied calmly.
This sentence completely made Su Xiaoli explode.
Damn it! What a thief! This guy just wanted to use the power of attorney to see the "hostess"! He is already lacking in morality, and he still came to him to ask for directions? Asking directions to a blind man, Su Xiaoli was amused and annoyed.
This couple definitely share the same mental illness, and neither of them is a good person.
These damn people's ancestors were pirates, burning, killing and looting. She even cursed Henry and Saoirse's ancestors in her heart.
The only thing to be thankful for on this trip was that it now seemed like the right thing for her to do to have James by her side.
You must be more careful when you come here to prevent this kind of problem from happening to the little cutie.
"Henry, thank you for your advice." Su Xiaoli smiled coldly and couldn't stay for even a minute.
It's time to say goodbye.
Oscar was sitting on the sofa outside the study door, thinking quietly. When he saw Su Xiaoli coming out in a hurry, he was stunned.
"Are you leaving now?"
"I drank too much tea and I have to pee urgently." Who has the patience to talk to the pirate anymore, Su Xiaoli answered angrily.
The expectations I had when I came here were completely wiped out.
Oscar didn't know what to say and had to take her to the bathroom first.
After going to the bathroom and before leaving the door, Su Xiaoli heard a man's voice.
"Charlotte, do you want me to take this bear into the bedroom?"
This voice! Su Xiaoli was shocked.
Dare not move.
