Chapter 35 Apple Pie and Girl Attendant (1)
Translator: Tseirp
Nonna was boasting to Clark that she knew a store that serves scrumptious apple pies. As I checked the spelling of the 2 in my pocket book, the contents of the dialog between the 2 reached my ears.
“Is it that scrumptious?”
“Yeah. The apple pie was actually good. The pores and skin was crispy. Loads of apples.”
“Oh, that’s good. I really like apple pie. I’d even wish to eat it daily.”
“Will you go together with me subsequent time?”
“Actually? Is it okay?”
“Positive. I’ll take you with Vicky.”
“Please do.”
Wait a minute.
The dialog between the 2 was so lovable that my palms trembled as I clenched them.
“Grasp Clark, then would you wish to go eat apple pie with us?”
“Sure, trainer. I wish to go!”
“Then, tomorrow, I’ll choose you up when Mr. Bernard finishes his work.”
“No, I’ll go to my nice uncle’s home. That’s sooner!”
Mr. Bernard has totally recovered and has returned residence.
After such an trade, right now the three of us have been on our option to the sweets store in South Ward that Mr. Zaharro taught me. Grasp Clark and Nonna ordered apple pie, and I ordered a chunky butter cake on the eating nook within the nook of the shop. All three of us ordered tea to drink.
“Trainer, this apple pie is so scrumptious. Perhaps as a result of my mom and father don’t like sweets, our chef doesn’t make many sweets.”
“Is that so? It’s an occasional factor, so Grasp Clark, please eat loads.”
Grasp Clark put the apple pie in his mouth with an enraptured face, and for some cause, Nonna made a face like ‘How is it?’. The proud face of a good looking lady is kind of irresistible.
Whereas the three of us have been having fun with our meal, a feminine buyer in her fifties got here in. Judging from her costume and tone of voice, she was in all probability a nobleman’s servant, however she was having some kind of dispute behind the scenes.
“I’m sorry. The apple pie is offered out.”
“Oh no. Not even a single piece?”
“Sure. I’m sorry.”
“Haa… what ought to I do?”
Ah. That could be as a result of I purchased one entire apple pie as a memento for Grasp Clark. The girl gave the impression to be very troubled. I may all the time get each other day, so I didn’t thoughts giving it to her. Pondering that, I known as out to the girl.
“Um, should you don’t thoughts, I’ve a complete apple pie that I purchased as a memento, however would you want me to offer it to you?”
“Are you positive?”
“Sure. I can get each other day.”
The girl bowed her head a number of occasions, regarded again at us as she left, and left with an apple pie in her hand.
“Trainer, do you want apple pie that a lot?”
“I really like apple pie, however I needed Mrs. Eva and the Earl to strive it too. But when they don’t like sweets, possibly I’ll get them one thing else. There are lots of different scrumptious meals.”
As a result of Grasp Clark was feeling extraordinarily grateful,
“It’s to thank them for all the time having scrumptious tea and sweets on the mansion.”
I defined.
On that day, I despatched away the very glad Grasp Clark within the Anderson household’s carriage and noticed him off, and went residence with Nonna.
The 2 of us soaked within the sizzling water of the bath and washed our our bodies with the luxurious cleaning soap that Mrs. Yorana gave us.
After that, I slept peacefully dealing with Nonna. I like to sleep in the identical mattress as Nonna.
A 6-year-old is sufficiently old to sleep alone, however once I take into consideration her upbringing, I wish to fill her loneliness of dwelling alone day and night time. My day by day routine was to get up after Nonna sleeps, learn books, translate for Mr. Bernard, and prepare my physique.
The subsequent week.
“Hey Victoria, are you acquainted with Baron Hanson’s girl attendant?”
“Hanson… no.”
No one got here to thoughts when Mrs. Eva requested me a few girl attendant.
“Baron Hanson has a enterprise relationship with my husband. At the moment, his spouse got here to my home with a uncommon tea leaf, and the girl attendant who accompanied her remembered Clark. She mentioned you gave her the apple pie.”
“Oh! I keep in mind now. I met her on the confectionery store within the South Ward final week. She was very disenchanted that the apple pie was offered out. So I handed over the one I purchased as a memento.”
Mrs. Eva nodded as if she was satisfied. I assumed that was the tip of the story.
Three days later.
Baron Hanson and his spouse visited the Anderson household once more with the girl attendant. And for some cause, after some time, Nonna and I have been summoned after ending our language class.
“Victoria, Baron Hanson has one thing to say to you right now.”
“Oh, what’s it?”
I assumed it was an exaggeration to convey thanks for an apple pie. I had a foul premonition.
When Nonna and I entered the reception room of the Anderson family, a very aristocratic couple bought up from their chairs and checked out Nonna. They have been each blond. The girl was in tears together with her hand over her mouth.
(Huh? These individuals aren’t Nonna’s dad and mom, are they?)
Their environment resembled Nonna a lot that I got here to that thought.
“Good to fulfill you.”
When Nonna and I greeted them like that, the person additionally made a face of emotion.
“Victoria, please sit down. That is Baron Hanson and the Baroness. Baron, that is Victoria, and that is Nonna.”
After we sat down, the 2 stared intently at Nonna.
“I used to be skeptical once I heard the story from the girl attendant, however they actually do look alike.”
“Yeah, yeah, they actually look alike.”
“Um, what do you imply?”
Then the Baroness started to talk whereas protecting her eyes with a handkerchief.
“My daughter died of an sickness when she was three, however she seems to be a lot like her that I assumed she would have regarded like this when she was six.”
“So, Victoria, Baron Hanson desires to undertake Nonna.”
“…”
My dangerous premonition was usually on the mark.
“I’m sorry, however I’ve no intention of letting this little one go.”
“No, I would like you to consider it rigorously. I heard you’re single and also you’re elevating this little one whereas working. If she turns into an adopted daughter of my household, we can present for her financially. Sooner or later, she will be able to marry a male family member I absorb to inherit our home. Don’t you assume that’s higher for this little one?”
Sure. When it comes to standing and funds, positive.
“Vicky, what are you speaking about?”
“We’re speaking about Nonna turning into a toddler of this Baron.”
“Eh? I don’t wish to.”
The Baroness then intervenes.
“A six-year-old little one doesn’t perceive the significance of this dialog. It’s regular for them to favor these they’re aware of. However adults have to consider the happiness of this little one. If one thing occurs to you, this little one will find yourself on the streets, proper?”
Actually, if I can’t work on account of sickness or harm, that might be her finish.
Seeing my silence, the baron rode the momentum and made a proposal.
“Nonna, why don’t you come to my home for every week to strive it out? Proper now, you in all probability don’t know what a noble’s life is like, however you may change your thoughts when you strive it.”
“That’s proper. I’ll make you a costume. We are able to purchase equipment that match these stunning eyes. You’ll be able to go see a play, or you should use a cute room made only for you.”
Do you assume {that a} little one’s coronary heart will change as soon as they style luxurious? My Nonna isn’t that simply purchased.
