She Is Not a Witch Chapter 54: Investigate hidden information
Ms. Mela panicked and lowered her head to pick up the broken pieces of teacup. Ceres saw her and went forward.
"Madam, you just sit down, I'll take care of these."
Mrs. Mela was startled, and then slowly returned to her seat, but her hands were twisted uncomfortably and her head lowered.
"I'm very sad to hear this news. Master Angus is a kind person, why did you encounter such a thing." Her voice was intermittent and seemed very uncomfortable.
"Sorry, please." Then Lorrain Hill waited for Mrs. Mela to calm down.
Coming over for a while, Mrs. Mela stopped sobbing and dried her tears with her handkerchief, before slowly raising her head, her eyes were a little red and swollen.
Lorrain Hill saw her slowly calm down before continuing to speak.
"Although Lord Angus is gone, he asked me to take care of you and your children before he died. Please rest assured about this."
"Thank you, thank you Miss Lacey. I...I don't know how to repay this kindness... Don't hesitate to say what you want."
"I don't have any requirements, I just want to see your child today." Lorrain Hill stated the main purpose of the day.
"Okay, wait a minute, Dill is upstairs, I'll call him."
"Don't have to be so troublesome, let's go together. It just happens that I am here for the first time. I am still very interested in the layout here." Lorraine shook his head, showing a kind smile, and then stood from the sofa. rise.
"Ok... OK, you come with me." Mrs. Mela hesitated, and then led Lorrain Hill ahead.
There are 3 floors in this building, the second floor is the bedroom, and the third floor is the attic connected to the roof for sundries. The floors in the house are made of marble, and the doors, handrails, and furniture are all made of mahogany.
Through the corridor on the second floor, at the end of the door, Mrs. Mela took out a key and opened the door. A 10-year-old child is in the room. He is leaping on the floor and painting with colorful paints. There are many colorful building blocks scattered on the ground next to the painting.
The child looked up when the door opened, and was very happy when he saw Mrs. Mela. He brought the painting to the front as if it were a treasure and showed it to Mrs. Mela.
"Mom, I drew it. Does it look good?" The child was a little pleased when his mother suddenly appeared.
A little figure is drawn like graffiti on the thick white paper, yellow paint is smeared with exaggerated hair, the mouth is light red paint, the corners of the mouth are split, and it seems to be smiling. As a whole, he can barely see that this is a person, and all kinds of pigments are piled up on the paper, which is very messy.
"You laughed. Miss Lacey." Mrs. Mela stepped forward and hurriedly pulled the child over, and the painting was randomly thrown aside.
"Nothing." Lorrain Hill walked over to pick up the painting and asked the child.
"Who is on the picture, Deere?"
"It's mother."
"Why is mother's hair yellow?"
"Because I want my mother to be like the sun, take me out... and smile, my mother rarely smiles at me..." The child's voice was a little low.
Listening to the child, Mrs. Mela was a little embarrassed and wanted to stop, but she couldn't speak to her face.
Lorraine Hill didn’t mean to be a joke. He looked at the child in front of him, pulled by his mother. He was not tall, and the clothes he was wearing were very clean. He looked straight at her with big eyes. There is curiosity and admiration.
"Come, come to my sister." Lorrain Hill squatted down, clapped her hands, and stared at the child with a smile on her face.
Mrs. Mela looked at it and had to let go of her hand and let the child walk over by herself.
Lorrain Hill touched Dill's head, blinked, and checked the child's condition.
Generally speaking, he is relatively healthy. His eyebrows look a bit like a mother, and they are softer, not as sharp as Angus.
Then there was another conversation. After a while, Lorrain Hill took out the snack gift box for the children, and invited their mother and child to move to the Calites Chamber of Commerce headquarters because it is safer there.
However, Mrs. Mela refused, and Lorraine Hill was not happy to persuade them again. Before leaving, he said that he would come back to see them for a while.
put on a black hooded robe again, and after boarding the carriage, Lorrain Hill slowly pondered the process of this meeting.
"Serez, how did Mr. Angus met Mrs. Mela back then."
"It was at a banquet 10 years ago. The master’s career started to flourish. He often participated in banquets of various parties, and once got drunk. Miss Mela happened to be a member of the banquet. She was The daughter of a little businessman."
"So the drunk master had a relationship with Miss Mela, and then Miss Mela’s father wanted to send her to the side room in order to please the master. Although the master did not agree, in order to make up for the guilt in his heart, It has given Mela's father a lot of benefits."
"After coming and going, Mela's father became more and more greedy, and his mouth became bigger and bigger, and even threatened the master to take this out without agreeing."
"Originally, the master was still thinking about love, and tolerated at all times. After that time, he sent someone to do it. Mrs. Mela's father almost went bankrupt, and finally settled down. Mrs. Mela was caught in the middle. The master asked for a lot of benefits, and he was always very upset, and later he became a little afraid of the master."
"This..." Lorrain Hill listened to the narration of the butler Serres, always feeling that there was still some vagueness in it~IndoMTL.com~Why did Mrs. Mela change after hearing about Angus's news? There is more panic than sadness. Why did Mrs. Mela keep Dill in the room and locked it? Is she worried or abused? Why, when Lorrain Hill invited her to live in the headquarters, her first reaction was to refuse without any hesitation.
There should be something hidden in Mrs. Mela's heart. There may be something hidden between her and Angus. Lorrain Hill sips tea while thinking about how to find out the truth.
It took a while before she spoke.
"Serez, can you arrange for someone to find out about Mrs. Mela's past acquaintances? I want to know about her ten years ago, what happened to her before she came into contact with Angus, and what happened before and after that."
"It’s probably difficult, Miss, it’s been ten years after all."
"Even ten years, many things will still leave traces. Send someone to investigate."
"Okay, Miss Lacey."
After returning to the headquarters mansion, Lorraine Hill dealt with some business affairs of the Chamber of Commerce, and then at night, after dinner, she sat on a chair on the balcony to rest, watching the night view of stars and lights on the horizon. The evening wind blows, bringing the slightest coolness.
The maid chief Chelsea gently pushed open the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony and walked over.
"Miss, did you call me?"
"Yes, I want you to do something." She paused for a while, watching the lights of thousands of houses in the distance, and the wind slowly blowing through the woods outside the balcony.
" The confidant who sent the letter secretly investigated Serres, the butler, and everything he had been in contact with in the past few days, and then reported it to me. You came to Calitis the first time, and there should be a lot of people you can trust. Right."
Lorrain Hill turned his head and watched the maid’s long, silky hair slowly fluttering in the night breeze.
