Chapter 483 Touch Her
Chapter 483 Touch Her
After walking out of Qinao's cabin, Irene didn't know where to go for a moment.
Her thoughts were in a mess. She had originally planned to return to Ruyou as planned, and then continue working. She would go to class tomorrow and have lunch with Norvia and the others in 1206...
She silently held the diaries in her arms and sat on the magic circle back to Rose Mansion.
There were several moments when she wanted to throw away these diaries. She had already felt her mother's scrutiny and judgment of her from Qinao's actions. If she didn't open her mother's diary, she could still deceive herself that her mother loved her wholeheartedly.
She felt that she was still the selfish gray wolf. But why not? Why couldn't her mother love her? If she didn't love her so much, why did she let her come into this world?
She always carries the weight of her mother's soul on her shoulders. That weight weighs on her, making her afraid to put herself in a depraved situation, and making her desperately want to do something for Ruyou even when she can't save herself.
With this thought in mind, she walked into the Rose Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the Rose Mansion was very quiet now. Irene held the two diaries that Qin Ao had told her about, standing there blankly, not daring to open them.
In many, many things, she could move forward courageously, but when it came to being a mother, she was cowardly and mean.
Because she couldn't hate or be annoyed. Her mother had sacrificed her life for her, and she should have loved her the most, so she had to try to survive in this terrible world, and she couldn't die.
The cold palace, the cruel rain, the nightmare-like uncle, the father who turned a blind eye to all this, the maliciousness pressed against her back, like a hand soaked in cold, along her spine and grasping her neck.
Her mother must love her. She can't be so bad to her and let her suffer until she meets her teammates.
She complained like this, but she never dared to open her mother's diary. Until she saw Norvia.
She expressed her fears, then placed the two diaries in Nolvia's hands and looked at her expectantly.
"Nolvaya, can you take a look first? If...if..."
If her mother wrote in her diary that she hated her, she would never get over it.
Nolvia held the two diaries with her eyes slightly lowered.
"Erin, why are you so scared?"
Irene didn't speak, she lowered her head, her gray hair touched her ankles, like the thorns on a bug pricking her. Insecurity was attacking her, so she subconsciously returned to the Rose Mansion.
Nolvia looked at Irene. She put the two diaries aside, then walked towards Irene, squatted down and asked her if she had eaten dinner.
Irene shook her head. Nolvia thought for a moment and asked Irene if she had seen any restaurants recently that she wanted to try.
Irene shook her head again. She was too busy, she had almost no time for herself. In her only rest time, she just wanted to empty herself and think about nothing.
Norvia nodded.
She gently asked Irene to go and rest for a while.
"Sleep for half an hour, and then we'll have dinner in half an hour, okay?"
Irene looked at the diaries, then looked at Nolvia, and finally, she nodded slowly.
"it is good."
Irene took off her coat and went upstairs, leaving her communicator inside her coat. She was really tired, and she wanted to sleep without thinking about anything.
She told Otkester that she was going back to Rose Mansion, and there shouldn't be any important government affairs calling her within the next half hour.
Nolvia watched Irene walk up to the second floor, then waved at her tenderly.
The castle gate suddenly rang.
Nolvia turned around and found that it was Yalinxiu who was sent back by Feimeiou's housekeeper.
Yalinxiu said goodbye to Femei's housekeeper, then turned and rushed towards Nolvia.
"Nolvaya, I'm back!"
Nolvia touched Yalinxiu's head and asked why it suddenly came back and whether it was feeling unwell.
"Not feeling well."
Yalinxiu said, looking at the living room.
"When I came back, I sent everyone a message saying that I was feeling very uncomfortable. Nolvaya, did you come home because of my message?"
Nolvia picked up the communicator in confusion and confirmed that there was no news from Yalinxiu.
"No news, Yalinxiu."
Yalinxiu looked down and realized that she didn't press send all. But it was sent to Fiana first, and Fiana had already received the message.
"It's not that I'm unwell, but there must be people who are very sad, anxious, and desperate. I know that everyone is probably not at home today, so I called everyone back."
Yalinxiu said this seriously, but Irene and Norvia's communicators both rang.
It's Fiana.
[Fiana: Yalinxiu said it was not feeling well. Only Ellit and Zhulang should be at home today. Ochifu and Hazi went to Tarancuo. I will go back to see what happened. My work here is also finished.]
Nolvia poked Yalinxiu’s face.
"You know the story of 'The Boy Who Cried Wolf'? After you do it many times, everyone will know you are lying."
Yalinxiu looked up, put her face against Norvia's palm, and shook her head honestly.
"Didn't the teacher say that? Isn't it good that the wolf came? Irene is the gray wolf. Norvia, if I always lie, you won't come?"
"will not."
Nolvia held Yalinxiu's face.
"Yalinxiu, no matter when, no matter if it's a lie or not, as long as you say you need us, we will show up."
Yalinxiu narrowed her eyes, feeling the warmth of Norvia's palm. Her mood gradually calmed down.
"I'll show up too! Just like now, I know everyone is in a bad mood."
"It's Irene who's in a bad mood."
Nolvia looked at the pile of diaries and sent a message to her teammates.
……
Ding-a-ling. Ding-a-ling. Who sent the message?
Irene thought hazily. She set different ringtones for her communicator. These ringtones represent...
Irene sat up, rubbed her eyes, and saw Nolvia leaning against her door.
Soft light slid in along the outline of Norvia, like butter. She smelled the aroma of butter and the sound of people talking.
"Come down to dinner, Irene."
Nolvia said, turning off the alarm on her communicator.
They were so familiar with each other. So familiar that Norvia knew what event each of her alarm sounds corresponded to. The alarm sounds Norvia played represented——
Work is done, go home.
Therefore, she woke up without any urgency. Her body received the information contained in the sound before her consciousness woke up.
Irene responded softly. She hugged the quilt and asked Nolvia if everyone had returned.
"Yes."
Yalinxiu called everyone back to the Rose Mansion. Norvia did not stop them. She just informed her teammates of Irene's situation and asked them to bring some food when they returned.
The last one to come back was Dooku, who went to the Dante restaurant in Ruyu to buy a flaming ice cream for Irene.
After Dooku returned, Nolvia went to Irene's room and gently woke her up.
When Irene heard about the flaming ice cream, she happily ran downstairs in her slippers. Her mother's diary seemed to no longer bother her.
No one mentioned the notebooks that were piled up in the living room in plain sight.
They had a normal dinner, and some of the dishes were made by Musa and Garcia. Ellit met Musa when he went to Norvia to find food, and Zhu went to Garcia's house when he had nothing to do. Garcia is now developing his ability as a chef, and his learning ability is amazing.
When there are many people, the empty castle will be crowded, and the long table will be in a mess during dinner. The same cup will be taken by mistake, and the tableware that looks similar will eventually become unknown. After the team went together to choose the daily necessities they liked, similar problems were solved.
Life together is like this, it is impossible to never have a quarrel, it is impossible to have no friction, but in the end you will always make up and continue to face life with each other's living habits, but you are unaware of it.
Only when they frown when they see a fish with bones when they go out, subconsciously don't want peas but find that they can eat them, insist on asking for half sugar or no sugar when they see desserts, and feel very familiar when they see grilled cheese in a foreign country - only when they show similar behaviors, will they realize how much traces of their teammates are in them.
Such happiness seems insignificant. It is so trivial that sometimes you don’t even notice it. It naturally becomes a habit.
The topic at the table remained the same. Fiana talked about the development of the city of Philippi, and asked Yalinxiu what she had learned in school, whether she had met any strange teachers, and what friends she had made.
Arlinx would talk excitedly about her life at school and then make some requests to try to get out of her homework. Usually, Norvia would gently and calmly reject them, and it was the spider that controlled Arlinx's escapism when Norvia was not at home.
After this, Huett talked about how tired he was of being used as two persons in the palace. Since Sosa became the king of Remiaz, Huett had become much busier than before.
Nolvia asked Elliott how he met teacher Musa. Zhuqi started quarreling with Elliott after eating. Dooku watched them quietly with a smile.
Irene has always liked such scenes. In the palace of Ruyou, she has always been just a bystander, like a poor mouse, watching how warm and happy the family that does not belong to her is. As long as she opens her mouth, the warmth will cool down, and everyone will look at her with polite and distant eyes, silently accusing her of destroying that beauty.
Never again.
"Today... I went to Reinald. Reinald is the gathering place of the fox tribe's return to the ancestors, right next to Ruyou. I met my mother's friend in Reinald, her name is Qin Ao."
Everyone looked at her.
The warm, concerned and serious look in her eyes gave her a lot of courage, because she knew she didn't have to keep moving forward, she could stop, she could retreat, she was not without choices.
So, what's wrong with giving it a try?
Will the consequences be serious? Will she lose her stable and happy home? Will her family stop loving her?
Just thinking about this gave her the courage to face the cruel reality.
"…My mother, Isana, gave her diary to Qin Ao, and Qin Ao gave me her diary today. Qin Ao said that I was mentioned in two of the diaries, but I was a little afraid to read them because I was afraid to know that my mother didn't love me."
"Erin, do you want us to tell you after we finish reading, or do you want to wait and open the diaries when you want to read them?"
Nolvaya asked softly.
Everyone looked at her, waiting for her to make the final decision, and no matter what it was, they absolutely supported her.
Irene felt that her heart had become complete. She was not put together by others, she just had a universal fragment. She knew that no matter what was missing in the end, she would be able to put herself together in the end.
"I want to read it. I want to read the diary without my part first. I want to know what kind of gray wolf my mother Isana is. Then, I want to know her attitude towards me. Even if she doesn't love me, I won't be very sad."
……
This was a very flexible night. Time was like a piece of gum that had been chewed to the right state, stretching longer and longer.
It was warm in the castle, and all members of the team were in the living room on the first floor, which was brightly lit.
Yalinxiu was doing homework on his little desk, and next to him was Dooku. Next to Dooku was Fianna, who was watching him research new technology.
Elliott and Huett were on the sofa. Elliott was playing with the toys that Dooku had bought from France, replying to messages from time to time. Huett had dealt with too many things during the day, so he was taking a nap with his eyes closed.
Norvia sat on the soft chair next to Ellit, holding a communicator to see where there were discounted items, and she was particularly interested in the divine props. Zhu was playing with the flower seeds she collected, some of which had a calming effect when they bloomed.
Erin sat on the carpet, surrounded by her teammates behind her and notebooks spread out in front of her.
She felt safe. In the safety of the night, she began to touch her mother.
If you treat Isana as an enemy, she hates it very much.
Isana was born in a poor family. She realized at a very young age that Luyou was going downhill, and she had a very strong belief in changing Luyou. She is the kind of gray wolf who will not turn back once she has determined her goal. For her goal, she will do whatever it takes.
She had always been at the top of the class in school. Later, she stopped going to school and began to frequently appear at noble balls as a maid. She did not think it was immoral to use love to gain power. She chose the people she wanted to use and began to contact the royal family members who were easy to control, that is, Brahim Ruyu.
Then, she disguised her trap as love. She began to officially become the manager of Ruyou.
She was very strong, like a sponge, always running to absorb knowledge. She faithfully recorded in her diary how she gradually moved to the center of power. Her writing was cold and simple, without any emotional rendering.
She is not a benevolent manager. She never mixes her personal emotions into her decisions. Her only criterion is profit. As for justice or evil, she doesn't care.
She has worked with many notorious nobles. She never mentioned their reputations, she just calmly and objectively analyzed how much benefit she could gain. She could also frame her political enemies for her own image and interests, and her methods were not bright from the beginning.
She didn't do these things to save Ruyou. She was like a sharp knife. She saw the pimple and felt that she should cut it out. That was her duty and her mission.
She believes in the beast god.
She is a very calm, extremely self-centered, and ruthless gray wolf.
As Irene read the diary, she couldn't quite put Isana Curron in the category of mother because she had a feeling.
Isana Curron didn't want to be anyone's mother.
Her existence is not expected by her mother.
