The last two conversations are as quick as if they have been arranged.
Jenny can not help laughing out loud.
“Well.”
She thinks of the time when she is forced to call him darling by her grandmother in front of the servant, and immediately covers her face and rolls away laughing, trying not to laugh and says, “Well, I can't do it.”
Luke sits on the bed, seeing her shoulders trembling. Then he can not help bending down to touch her little head. And he comes closer and kisses her on the forehead.
“Close your eyes and have a sweet sleep.”
Although her hair covers her forehead, she can feel his kiss. She quietly grabs the corner of the quilt for a long time and says nothing. Hearing the water sounds from the bathroom, she feels that her heart beating faster.
The scent of his body is all over the sheets, and the faint tobacco mingles with the scent of a man's perfume, as if it is the scent of sleep that drives her into a deep sleep.
In a daze, as if someone embraces her from behind and says some parting words as sweet as too much. She sleeps very soundly, dreaming that she is standing on the stage of the Golden Bell award to receive the award, and that people below are applauding.
It is a sweet dream.
Then she wakes up, and the sun fills the room. When she wakes up, Luke is not there. Later, she goes to open the wardrobe, she finds a lot of clothes are missing.
“Ling,” She turns back to the servant who is making the bed, “where's your young master? Does he go to work?”
Ling feels surprised and answers, “He doesn't talk to you last night?”
Jenny confuses.
“Young master flies to Beijing this morning, and he probably will be back in two days.”
Luke does not say to her before.
Why does Jenny feel disappointed?
Look at her disappointment, Ling thinks she makes a mistake and hurriedly explains, “Perhaps Young master forgets to tell you. Anyway, he will come back after his mother's birthday.”
His mother’s birthday?
Luke’s mother, Mandy, is always call Mrs. Mandy.
Jenny looks up at Ling, unable to smile, “His mother’s birthday?”
Ling feels that she is making things worse, and hastily adds, “Don't think too much, madam. Young Master never takes anyone with him to fly to Beijing for his mother’s birthday every year, nor does Mrs. Lu. Young master has a bad relationship with his father, so he always goes back reluctantly, and only once a year.”
Jenny waves her hand, indicating that Ling does not need to go on, “It's ok. And there is no need to explain. Because I have only been here for more than a month, there is no reason to fly to Beijing with Luke.”
Jenny feels lost probably because Luke's mother has a friendship with Yuky, and she wants to get close to Lu's family. Now it seems that it is more difficult than before.
First of all, Luke has no intention of taking her to meet his parents.
“Well, I know you are so good to me.”
Jenny tilts her head with a sly look.
"Sure, I really like you. Since you came here, it's more like a home. Therefore, you are the best choice for Luke. When Luke comes back from Beijing, you guys should go to pick up your wedding clothes.”
Mentioning Beijing, Jenny looked a little upset.
She hears the servants’ chatter before the breakfast. She does not know whether those words are true or not, but she feels unhappy.
“Mrs. Lu, before the wedding, Luke's parents have not seen me, is it unreasonable?”
Then, she looked at Jenny quite seriously. “Jenny, do you hear anything from others?”
There are so many servants in their house, so it is hard to avoid gossip.
Jenny feels surprised that Mrs. Lu can know something just from her reaction. Mrs. Lu's intelligence is beyond her imagination.
“I don't know which little girl is gossiping in the house. And I have asked the housekeeper to find out. Such a servant must be dismissed.” Mrs. Lu says seriously.
“I've heard about it, but I don't take it to heart. I know it's just a rumor...”
"I also know his mother. She is proud, but her character is not bad, and she is not easy to get along with. In a word, I dislike her most, or I would not refuse her to accompany me in the Flower House.”
