One of Irene’s hands was firmly held by Ronald.
The other hand was always hidden in the sleeve, clutching a letter tightly.
The person who had bumped into her just now had stuffed it into her hand.
Irene had pretended to be interested in choosing cat food along the way, but her heart had already fallen on that letter.
Who gave it to her? Was it Father who had chased after her? She knew that Father wouldn’t let Ronald off so easily. But if it was Father, he could have just sent troops to surround him. Who could it be?
Irene’s imagination ran wild all the way until she returned to the manor. She pulled her hand out of Ronald’s hand and said, “You go back first. I want to walk alone.”
“What’s wrong? I saw that you were absent-minded along the way. Are you feeling unwell somewhere?”
As expected, she still could not escape Ronald’s eyes. Irene raised an eyebrow. “I’m fine.” Then, she took a bag of cat food from Ronald’s hands. “I’m going to feed the cat. Do you want to come along?”
Ronald shook his head, afraid of allergies. “Forget it, you can go.”
After saying that, he quickly added, “You’re not allowed to say a word to Wen Shaoqing. Do you hear me?”
Irene looked at his look of jealousy. She could only smile and promise him, “I got it.”
Irene walked until she was sure that Ronald could not see her before she took out the envelope.
Linda! It was Linda who wrote her the letter. In the letter, it was written that Linda missed and cared about her.
She had thought that there would be some information about Ronald’s situation, but unexpectedly, it was not there. The only thing that was mentioned about Ronald was a question regarding his treatment of her; did he treat her well, and did he mistreat her.
After reading the letter, Irene felt empty on the inside She had not spent much time with Linda, and yet she had taken the time to write a letter to ask about her situation.
From Linda’s point of view, she had never had any children. Not long after having her “daughter”, she was snatched away by the rumored ruthless general. It was indeed too cruel to Linda.
Thinking back, Linda would always speak softly to her. She had gotten through the trouble to decorate the room to the extent that she liked it. She would also often tell her about the situation in the Murcia palace and the temperaments of the princes and princesses. Irene could feel that Linda was genuinely nice to her.
She had thought that there was nothing worth remembering about Murcia, but this letter made her hesitate.
“I’ve already asked around about Irene.”
Caesar dismissed the soldiers and maids in the palace and personally helped Linda up. “You’re not well. Didn’t I say that you don’t have to kneel?”
Caesar put his arm around Linda’s shoulder and sat down on the sofa in the inner hall. “Is Irene okay? How did Ronald treat Her?”
Linda’s expression was indifferent as she shook her head. “I don’t know yet. Out of the people that I sent to deliver the letter, only the one from Croce reported that the letter has been delivered.”
“But I should be able to receive a reply from Irene soon.”
Linda held Caesar’s hand. “It’s enough to chase after Ronald, right? You won’t lay a hand on Irene, will you?”
Caesar patted the back of Linda’s hand in a comforting manner, “No matter what, Irene is still my daughter. Not only did I want to put a bounty on Ronald, but Henry won’t let him off as well. However, Henry does hate Irene. He thinks that she was the one who brought Ronald into this mess. Don’t worry, I can still protect my own daughter. When he wanted Irene to marry into his kingdom, it wasn’t as if he didn’t know about Irene’s previous relationship with Ronald. If he wants to use this matter to find trouble for Irene and Murcia, then he’s in for big trouble!”
Caesar’s words not only had the dignity of a king, but also had the responsibility of a father.
Linda was relieved. “We’ll decide what to do when Irene writes back. We need to know how Irene feels about Ronald.”
