Chapter 816 Subtle signs
Mr. Witte, in fact, I came here to interrupt this time because of my marriage contract with Miss Charlotte Witte...Sorry, I know this is a bit rude to the Witte family, but I heard...
Mario kept typing the manuscript in his heart, trying to speak more sincerely.
Well, I heard that Namaka McLean also came here today, and... also made some embarrassing behaviors for everyone?
Although Maca on the side was attracted a lot of attention by the delicious food on the table, he couldn't help shaking his head when he heard Mario's question.
The Werther family must be embarrassed today, but that embarrassment was not caused by him alone.
And speaking of it, things like I was also slightly bullied by Haierbo made him feel a little bit offended.
As for Mario's mention of his engagement to Charlotte...
The Augustine family...is this going to formally unite with the Werther family to target me? Maca glanced back and forth on Mario's face, and then he secretly thought about it.
Of course, it is impossible for Mario to notice the existence of Maca, let alone his words and deeds have entered the eyes of Maca, the imaginary enemy.
Compared with Maca's noncommittal thinking, the old Patriarch Werther's eyes are obviously much sharper.
He tapped the table lightly with his knuckles and said solemnly:
Son, are you worried that our Werther family will compromise because of McClain's arrogance, and finally give up asking Hogwarts for Charlotte?
Oh, no— Mario hurriedly waved his hands, How could that be! I just want to confirm whether my fiancée can still marry into our Augustine family as promised... In fact, if necessary, I... ...
Halfway through his speech, he seemed to hesitate, and subconsciously turned his head slightly to one side. From the perspective of the old Patriarch Werther, he might have thought that Mario was choosing his words carefully, but Maca noticed a little wandering in his eyes.
Well... Mario continued, I mean, Miss Charlotte Witt is my fiancée after all... If possible, our Augustine family is also willing to take action to 'take her back'.
What he said was quite straightforward, and it was because of his little gesture that Maca had a little more speculation about Miriam in the crowd.
That woman asked him to say that? Maca glanced at the wall not far away again, without much expression on his face.
As far as the facts are concerned, Miriam really didn't talk about this.
It's just that Marius is not a fool. Although he was a little uncomfortable, he still quickly understood what to do.
For example, when he thought that he would have to take the whole family into his own hands bit by bit, he quickly understood that he first needed to have enough determination.
If he still followed the wishes of the elders in everything as before, even if he became the head of the family, he might only become a puppet with no blood and surname.
Therefore, he took the initiative to propose to Witt's old patriarch that his family should also take action. This was actually just the first decision to break away from the family arrangement.
Oh?
A trace of surprise flashed in Old Werther's eyes at Mario's words.
It's not like he hasn't seen the heir of the Augustine family before! But like today, he dared to make decisions for the family without the presence of the elders of the family. He had never seen such a Mario.
If the Augustine family is also willing to make a move, that would be great. But...Mario, I wonder if what you said also represents the will of your entire Augustine family?
It was the first time that Old Werther called Mario by his first name this evening, instead of continuing to call him child.
It can be seen that as long as Mario can make an affirmative response, then he will officially be linked to the Augustine family in the heart of Old Werther.
But to be honest, although Marius looked normal on the surface at this moment, he was quite shaken in his heart. And this wavering forced him to take another glance at Miriam.
Of course, Mario said loudly, I am the sole heir of the Augustine family, and what I say naturally represents the entire Augustine family.
When he said this big talk, Mario's heart was hanging. He didn't even know why he was so bold that he would say a decision that was diametrically opposed to the family meeting directly in front of the old Patriarch of the Werther family.
But now, he can only count on Miriam to keep his word and help him deal with the elders at home.
...Especially Herbert!
For Marius, the uncle who is the chief housekeeper who is always unhappy with him will always be a natural moat that must be overcome.
Okay, since that's the case, we can talk about this in detail after dinner. The old Patriarch smiled and nodded immediately, Then, let's have dinner first! They should be refrigerated before we talk...
If he had to say it, Old Werther only believed most of what Marius said. But no matter whether the decision Mario said is true or not, what his Werther family is going to do now will not change.
From the moment Hai Erbo stood behind him, his Werther family didn't have much choice.
This dragon pie tastes very good. It's made in Romania. Come on, Mario, you can try it too...
...
After that, the dinner was quite enjoyable. Of course, a guy like Maca who can only watch from the sidelines is not in such a beautiful mood.
After the meal, Mario and Old Werther really chatted about how to get Charlotte back. And in the course of the conversation, which could not be called a coincidence, the content of the discussion gradually shifted to how to deal with McClain.
Maca, the client, was sitting on the edge of the table beside him, rolling his eyes while listening, and pouring a sip of Immortal Hermit Potion into his mouth from time to time.
After pondering some of the words of Werther's old Patriarch in his heart, Maca also immediately came to a conclusion—Helbo wanted to use the hands of Werther's family to hold him back.
Two possibilities— He silently counted with his fingers, One, Haierbo is making preparations for the demon summoning technique; second, Haierbo hasn't got the summoning part of Abatel at all.
No matter which possibility it is, it means that Hai Erbo needs time.
His time is my time.
Maca was thinking about it, but saw that the conversation on Mario's side had finally come to an end. After Werther's old master politely persuaded him to stay, Mario also declined accordingly, because he caught a glimpse of Miriam signaling that he should leave.
Seeing this, Maca put Haierbo's affairs aside for a while, and his gaze also fell on Miriam who was not far away.
Let's start here first! If you don't figure out Eon Ravenclaw's true intentions, if you get tricked at a critical moment, the consequences will be disastrous.
Without too much hesitation, when Mario took Miriam out, he also quietly followed behind.
All the way through the main hall and vestibule of the Werther family, without the many lights in the mansion, the surrounding environment suddenly seemed much darker.
The man and the woman were quite cautious, and neither of them spoke during the section of the road that had just left Werther's house. After they turned a few streets and entered the alley, Mario couldn't help but speak.
Miss Miriam, when I return to the family...what should I do?
There is no doubt that this is what he cares most about now. Seriously, he'd have a lot of fun if he got off the hook now!
Oh! I must be crazy tonight!
But Miriam, who was quietly following behind him, smiled and shook her head.
No, you're not crazy... She put her hands on Mario's shoulders, stared into his eyes and said seriously, Not only that, but you've done a good job! At least it's better than I expected... If you can still maintain your calmness and composure when facing Patriarch Werther in the future, everything will be fine!
But, Mario took a deep breath, held it in for a while before saying helplessly, You may not know, I was just holding on...
Seeing that he seemed a little lacking in confidence, Miriam immediately reached out and patted his arm.
Maybe you don't feel satisfied enough, but I hope you can understand - this so-called 'holding on' is not something ordinary people can do! I say, you have to have some confidence in yourself!
Hearing this, Mario couldn't help but smiled wryly.
The dinner just now made me understand what it takes to be the head of a family... and this is probably just the surface of it.
While talking, he suddenly sighed:
Can I really do it and hold the entire Augustine family in my hands?
……I see.
A voice suddenly sounded in this deserted dark alley, startling both Mario and Miriam.
who!
The well-trained Miriam reacted quickly. She immediately drew out her wand and cast a silent spell in the direction of the sound without hesitation.
Immediately afterwards, the figure of the person hiding near her appeared—although it was not in the position she judged.
Hello, Maca looked at the two of them left and right, expressionless, Can I say...'We met again'?
Maka McClain!
When Miriam saw him, she immediately frowned.
Didn't the boss agree with you before he left? We are here to do things and not interfere with each other—
Hmph, Maca chuckled, and interrupted, Your 'boss' said it, but I didn't agree... Besides, it's okay if you want me not to interfere, but have you done it yourself? ?”
