Love Lightning Old Virgin
Chapter VIII

The young man was clearly visibly angry, and with just a sharp look towards Cherry, he looked up, he devoted his attention to apologizing to the hostess for appearing in high boots and long trousers an offence of courtesy in society that clearly offended all of her very subtle feelings. It was in vain that Miss Dior begged her not to think about the matter, and drawing the young man's attention to his own morning gown for the young man he had to explain the situation that forced him to appear before Miss Dior with an appearance, as he called it, like a humiliating disgrace. “Because of the rush to have to start the journey, I did not have time to pack clothes, Mistress,” he said. “I can only apologize to you for dressing so inappropriate. And also because, maybe, I'm so late coming here! I was held back by the need to make extra money, how little money I had in my pocket after running out of energy upon my arrival in Rouen!”

“I know I was wrong to leave you!” cry Cherry with great regret. “I'm sorry, Archard, but why didn't you tell me you got stuck? I have a lot of money, and if only you had asked me, I would have given you my wallet!” Disgust, Sir. Blanchet was impressed to say that he did not, thankfully, suffer such hardships. He had gotten rid of his pretty ugly watch, but it was better than breaking the legs of his childhood friend. These mysterious words left his audience confused, so he had to explain that he had mortgaged his watch, which he thought was better than borrowing money from Cherry. Miss Harrow said that such an opinion was very honorable, but her childhood friend said solemnly that only absurd ideas were on her mind and Miss Dior felt compelled to intervene hastily to prevent any vigorous strife in the first place between them.

Miss Harrow, who, whatever her opinion of girls who run away from their home and try to be liked by a complete stranger, is, (like many other spinsters) liked the handsome young man so much, encouraged him to pour out his grievances, and sympathized so much with him that when the dinner bell rang, he said, Archard could forget the shameful experiences he had experienced, and was able to eat a lot, swallowed up with the fine quality red wine Mr. Arthur had provided for his younger brother. It was at this moment that Miss Dior dared to ask her if she intended to stay in Rouen or return to her parents who were definitely worried about her plight.

“I certainly have to go home,” replied Sir. Blanchet, a worried expression radiated in his eyes. “Because they don't know where I am, and I'm afraid my father will become sad to the point of getting a fever. I will never forgive myself if he has one of his heart attacks.”

“Do not arrive!” exclaim Miss Harrow. “Poor young man! Mother too! One finds it difficult to know which of them is more worthy of pity even though I think the situation of your mother is the worst because of feeling double anxiety!” He looked at the young man looking guilty, and said in a comforting tone,

“But don't worry! How happy they will be when they see you survive! Are you their only child, Mister?”

“Well, no, not exactly the only child,” replied the young man.

“I am their only son, but I have three sisters, Madam.”

“Four!” cherry Sela.

“Ya, but I don't take Sapphira into account,” she explained.

“She has been married for many years, and lives in other regions.”

“I got the impression your father's health is not good,” said Miss Dior, “which means you shouldn't leave him in a tense state any longer.”

“That's what I'm worried about, Mistress!” said the young man, turning excitedly towards him. “His condition worsened in the Peninsula because in addition to having been twice injured, and after there was a bullet lodged in his shoulder, which was failed to be removed by the surgeons after having subjected Dad to torture for hours, he also suffered from several severe fevers, one of which was acquired on the North African border, and he never fully recovered from the illness. And, even though she wasn't complaining, we, mom and I were pretty sure that her shoulder was making her so much pain.” He hesitated, then said shyly, “When in good health, he was a very pleasant person, and, but his poor health condition makes him very irritable and tends to be unsettled, which is very bad for him. So ... so you will understand it is very important not to do anything that will make him restless.”

“Really, I understand,” said Miss Dior, looking at her with an affectionate gaze. “You certainly have to go home tomorrow, and in the fastest way possible. I'll give you money to return the favor for your efforts, redeem your watch, and rent a car, and you can pay me back by money order at your bank, so you don't have to be angry anymore.” Miss Dior smiled as she spoke, and Archard, who had become stiff, found himself smiling back at her, and said with a stutter that he was very grateful to her.

However, Cherry frowned. “Yes, but ... well, I understand, surely you must go home, but what will you say when asked what has happened to me?” Very confused, Archard looked at him, then said after a moment of silence to try to think of a way out of this difficulty even in vain, “I don't know. I mean, I'd say that I can't answer that question because I promised you that I wouldn't betray you.” Cherry's opinion on this was clearly read on her face. “You will tell them immediately where I am because your father will make this a matter of obedience, and you will give up, just like you always did! Oh, why, why can't you do as I ask you? I knew something like this would happen!” Archard's face flushed red, and replied fiercely, “Then, why didn't #4u do as I asked? I've warned you, there's no point in escaping! And, if you mean to blame me for being with you when I find you won't listen to a single reason, it's out of control! I must be the one who sucks when I let a stupid little school girl run around alone!”

“I'm not a stupid little schoolgirl!” yelled Cherry, as fierce as Archard.

Thank you for taking the time to read my novel articles, and as info. There should be an update every day for new episodes, but either because it is not qualified enough to sign a contract or technical constraints I do not understand.

Its platform sometimes delays to display every day.

Oh yes, do not forget to vote too yes, and give advice related to writing in the story.

Thank you very much.
