The female supporting role in Quick Wear fell in love at first sight again

Chapter 128 The Substitute Little Princess 15

One of the ladies had already started crying. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a snow-white handkerchief and looked at Anna with heartache.

"Children are the most important in the hearts of us mothers. I can't imagine what I would do if something happened to my child. Miss Anna, you are already great. You have two such lovely children to accompany you. I believe all the pain will dissipate."

Josephine felt her eyes sore and she held back her tears. Anna and Mrs. Whitt successfully evoked the painful memories hidden in her heart.

When she gave birth to her second child, she suffered from severe bleeding during labor. She tried her best to give birth to the child, but when she woke up, the doctor told her that her son had died and lived for less than half an hour. When she heard the news, she collapsed on the spot and fainted.

Over the years, she has put all her efforts and attention on her eldest son. Her heart still aches in her dreams at midnight. She often dreams of her youngest son. She can't see his face clearly in her dreams, but she can hear him crying and he is in pain.

"Okay, everyone, stop crying. Today's tea party is all about having fun. Crying like this won't be pretty. How will you face people later? Okay, everyone, stop crying. Let's go in and have a drink and chat."

The ladies wiped their tears, composed themselves, and went into the main house together.

The main house is a greenhouse with transparent glass. The temperature inside is just right, and a faint floral fragrance lingers at the tip of the nose. A handsome man in a suit is playing the cello in the middle of the greenhouse, surrounded by many people watching.

The first time Tao Yao entered, she was attracted by the man playing the cello. Like Edward, the man had a pair of blue eyes, but he had black hair and a mole under his eye. He was handsome and had an outstanding temperament, like a prince in a fairy tale.

What shocked Tao Yao the most was that she actually saw the shadow of Shang Yuan in him. It was so strange. She had met so many people in the small world, although she didn't remember much about the previous worlds.

But he was definitely the person whose demeanor was most similar to Shang Yuan that she had ever seen. Not only was his demeanor similar, but the aloofness and superiority he had on him was even more similar.

She has been with Shang Yuan for a thousand years. She is familiar with Shang Yuan to the core and can accurately capture his breath in the crowd.

Edward saw her staring blankly at the man in front of her, a gloomy look passing through her eyes.

He called Taoyao softly, "Chris."

Tao Yao came back to her senses in a panic and looked at Edward awkwardly, "What's wrong?"

Edward looked at the man in the center of the crowd with jealousy, then casually fastened the bow hairpin on Taoyao's head with his fingers.

Then he smiled at her and said, "It's okay, your hairpin is crooked. Chris, do you like the cello? I can learn it too."

Tao Yao felt her heart was in turmoil at the moment. Her mind was on that man, so naturally she didn't notice Edward's abnormality.

"He plays beautifully. I don't know what song it is, but it makes me feel really good. Edward, do you want to learn it too?"

Edward looked into her sparkling emerald eyes, nodded heavily, and tucked the loose hair on her temples behind her ears.

"As long as Chris likes it, I can learn it."

The melodious cello music came to an end, and thunderous applause rang out in the audience. The young man standing in the middle slowly stood up and bowed gracefully to express his gratitude.

“Thanks for listening.”

Mrs. Josephine stepped forward with satisfaction and introduced herself to everyone.

"Hello everyone, this is my son, Field. He is running for office. Please give Field your precious vote."

Taoyao looked at Field. It turned out that he was Lady Josephine's eldest son. It seemed that the purpose of today's tea party was not the tea. Lady Josephine organized this extravagant tea party for her son's election.

Mrs. Whitt and Anna were drinking tea at a small table nearby. Tao Yao was sitting quietly beside them, drinking the scented tea in her cup. Edward noticed her absent-mindedness, so he scooped a small mouthful of pudding from the plate and fed it to Tao Yao.

"Chris, the pudding tastes delicious. Do you want to try some?"

Taoyao was still thinking about Field just now. She didn't respond, but opened her mouth and swallowed the pudding.

Then he whispered to Edward, "Thank you."

Edward finished the rest of the pudding with the spoon she had used, his eyes fixed on the man who stood out in the crowd in the distance.

He was wearing a blue-gray suit, had a handsome slicked-back hair, a tall and straight figure, and a handsome face. Many girls in the corner secretly looked at Field and blushed.

Edward clenched the spoon in his hand. At this moment, he hated himself for being too young. It turned out that Chris liked men like this, not skinny little boys like him.

Mrs. Whitt took a sip of her tea. "Anna, you saw that this tea party was specially organized by Josephine for her son's election. I'm afraid we shouldn't bring it up any further. Josephine has already deliberately avoided the subject. If we continue, it will only arouse suspicion."

Anna looked at Josephine in the distance with worry, then looked down at the clear tea in the tea bowl with loss. It was the finest rose tea, paired with exquisite antique porcelain. Josephine had indeed put a lot of effort into today's tea party. Ellie was right. If they continued like this, Josephine would only think that they were deliberately trying to sabotage her son's campaign.

"What should we do? We don't have time. If we keep dragging this on, Catherine will definitely find a way to fight back."

Mrs. Whitt's slender white fingers traced the lace on the table.

"Since Field is the protagonist of this tea party, we can start with him directly. However, you will have to make some sacrifices. Field currently needs the votes of the old nobles to provide him with stable financial support."

"Anna, the VON family is a big piece of fat in the eyes of politicians. As long as you give in a little and let them get something sweet, they will clear all your worries for you. In the world of ambitious people, your handle is their stimulant. Perhaps we can throw out the bait first."

After she finished speaking, Anna immediately understood what she meant. Revealing one's weaknesses appropriately to politicians is like extending an olive branch to them personally.

Josephine and Field came over with glasses in their hands, and Mrs. Whitt and Anna stood up to toast.

"Field, this is Mrs. Whitt, and this is Miss Anna from the VON family."

Field placed his hands on his chest and bowed to them, kissing the back of their hands one by one.

“It was an honor to meet both of you beautiful ladies.”

Anna's eyes met Mrs. Whit's briefly, and then Anna responded with a faint smile.

"Hello, Mr. Field."
