"Your Majesty the Grand Duke." After sending Adelaide back to the room, Li Zitao went to the study where they met last time. The Grand Duke was sitting behind the desk handling official business.

swish

The sound of the pen scratching across the paper could be heard from time to time. Only when the pen tip was reinserted into the ink bottle did the Grand Duke raise his head.

Looking at it, Li Zitao was already sitting on the sofa without knowing it, with his legs crossed and leisurely tasting the coffee served by the maid.

"...will you go to the Netherlands tomorrow?" the Archduke asked.

"Yes, Sasha and Her Royal Highness the Queen communicated via telegram." Li Zitao smiled and nodded.

"Take that crown away, I think the queen will like it." Hearing the Grand Duke say this, he felt happy in his heart.

This was tantamount to a change of direction and a promise to him and Adelaide.

"Thank you for your generosity, Your Excellency." Li Zitao stopped crossing his legs, put down the tea cup, stood up and nodded.

"That's not my generosity, it's yours." After finishing his words, he paused and pondered for a moment, "I hope you won't let Mary down."

It was difficult for the Grand Duke to agree to their marriage.

But to what extent the two of them had developed in recent days, the Grand Duke also had a clear answer in his mind.

Now she only hoped that Mary had not seen the wrong person.

"She is my wife." Li Zitao didn't want to make any touching assurance, but this sentence was enough to explain his attitude.

"I wish you a pleasant journey." That night, for the first time, the atmosphere at the dinner was as harmonious as a family.

Adelaide, who had been sulking with her mother before, was called to the study by the Grand Duke after dinner.

When she came back, she threw herself into his arms with red eyes and murmured: "Charlie, you will love me for the rest of your life, right?"

"Yes, I will love you until I die." After a passionate kiss, there was a rumbling sound in the room, making little Mary at the door put away her pink fist to knock on the door.

"Assholes, can't you restrain yourself?" She muttered speechlessly, and little Mary stomped away.

…

The next day, the Grand Duke and his family personally took them to the station early in the morning.

Adelaide hugged her mother and whispered again, and finally got into the car with red eyes.

"Hey, dear, we can come back at any time. This is not a separation of life and death." He waved goodbye until the figure turned into a tiny black dot. Li Zitao turned around and teased her with a smile.

"You don't understand this feeling!" Giving him a sideways look, Adelaide lay down on the chair with her eyes closed and meditated without much interest.

During this trip, they will take a train through Belgium to Amsterdam, the capital of the Netherlands, where they will receive an audience from the Queen.

…

Li Zitao has not yet finished his trip, but the shooting case of the Kendi family is tugging at the hearts of everyone who pays attention.

All clues were closed a week ago. Unless his sister can be found, no one knows who did it.

But in the minds of those who are thoughtful, the mastermind behind this incident is undoubtedly clear.

Rumors that Li Zitao was planning this incident spread unknowingly among the upper class circles in America.

"This kind of speculation without any evidence is an insult to my boss, Mr. Charlie. Here I will seriously warn those who have ulterior motives,

No matter what your purpose is, once I know who you are, your mailbox will be filled with letters from lawyers."

Minister of Justice Saliyev's serious protest further confirmed this speculation.

If it wasn't him, why would he hold a press conference so solemnly to defend himself after hearing these gossips?

So in everyone's mind, this matter was pinned on Li Zitao.

"Saliyev, your performances are getting more and more beautiful. Maybe I should suggest to the boss to send you to Hollywood. You will definitely get a statuette."

In the think tank, Ben and Saliyev sat at a small round table, drinking beer relaxedly.

"Ben, you should try it yourself next time. I hate this feeling." Saliev said a little helplessly.

"Forget it! I still have to go home and entertain my two little angels. Their mother is going crazy."

Thinking of my wife's transformation after giving birth, I couldn't help but scratch my head.

Since giving birth to the two little princesses, Joanna has become sensitive, irritable, irritable, and intolerable to some small things.

It felt like I had changed as a person from the inside out, which felt strange to me.

"Hey, friend, you should understand how a mother feels. She just needs time to adapt to this change." Saliev patted his shoulder sympathetically.

"Hey!" Ben sighed, put the bottle on the table, and drove back home.

"My dear, I'm back." When she opened the door, she heard her daughter's clear cry.

"Oh my god, Ben, come and help me, they're spitting up milk, oh, god..." came Joanna's anxious voice.

Putting his bag next to him and frowning helplessly at the bodyguard behind him, Ben closed the door and walked quickly upstairs.

"Let me take a look." Ben clumsily hugged his daughter, and carefully cleaned the milk stains at the corners of her mouth, "We should ask the nanny to help greet them."

"But they are always messy. Mrs. Taylor next door told me that her child was abused by a servant when she was a child. We can't guarantee safety at all..."

Joanna waved her hands somewhat manically, with a look of uneasiness and impatience on her face, and the elegance and gentleness she once had had completely disappeared.

"Hey, hey, honey, relax, relax, you're just too anxious." After putting his daughter on the crib, Ben stepped forward and hugged his wife, comforting her softly.

"Oh, woo..." Joanna knew that something was wrong with her, but she just couldn't control herself. The invisible pressure was about to crush her nerves.

She wanted to give them the best of everything, but she behaved like a clumsy duck and a shrew, "Damn, I hate myself now."

"Dear, listen to me, I will invite my colleagues to take care of the two little ones for one night. There is Nai water stored in the refrigerator.

Now go and put on your most beautiful dress, we are going to stay in a hotel tonight."

"No, I can't leave them here." Joanna wiped the tears from her eyes.

"I know, I know, you love them very much, and so do I, but you need to relax now, just for one night, okay?"

After repeatedly reassuring Joanna, Ben called Sanelle, and soon after, she showed up at Ben's home with two colleagues.

"Don't worry, leave everything to me, but it's only for one night." Being asked to take care of the child, Sanil was helpless.

But after learning about Joanna's situation, she decided to help.

"Sanil, thank you, thank you. The nai water is in the refrigerator. It needs to be heated before feeding. The water temperature should be kept at..."

"Dear, just leave it to me. I have two successful mothers beside me." Sanil pointed at the two colleagues beside her and smiled.

"Thank you, thank you." Under Ben's urging, Joanna turned around and walked out the door.

"Huh..." Sitting in the car and opening the window, breathing in the cool air, Joanna's tense nerves were finally released.

She once thought she was ready to be a mother, but it wasn't until they actually appeared in her life that Joanna discovered the gap between ideal and reality.

But that doesn't stop her from loving them, she just needs some time to learn to adapt.

"I'm a little worried." Joanna looked back at the house in the distance.

"It's just one night, I promise." Ben comforted, holding her hand.

"I should let you stay at home." Joanna glanced at him and said deliberately.
