"I haven't heard anyone praise her for being cute in almost ten years. Maybe the last time I heard someone praised her was when she was an infant."

"Every girl is made of water. In fact, she has a cute and gentle side."

Next to him, Pu'er turned to look at Karen. Really, he has become more and more like a poet since he went out!

"It's a very philosophical description." Wood raised his glass again, and Karen also raised her orange juice. "I believe there will be no shortage of girls who like you."

"No." Karen shook his head, "In the past, I had some mental problems. Have you heard of autism? I liked to keep myself closed for many years and didn't like to socialize."

Pu'er frowned: Do you need to be so sincere to everyone in the Allen family, even confessing what diseases you have had in the past?

"Oh, that's it. I believe it will not be easy to come out." Wood said.

"The fact is, no one is sure whether it has really come out, and it is possible that it will come back again. With this disease, no one can say for sure."

Pu'er: "!!!"

"Alas." Wood sighed and said, "I want to apologize to you for my behavior when we first met in the afternoon."

With that said, Wood stood up and bowed to Karen.

Karen also stood up immediately, but Wood reached out and held his shoulder down;

Pu'er raised his head with some confusion and looked at Wood, feeling a little hope rising in his heart.

Wood sat down and asked Karen to sit down as well;

"I only learned about the current situation of your grandfather and the Immelais family from Jenny's mouth. When I am on this island, communication is not convenient many times.

When we met for the first time in the afternoon, I wanted to kill your majesty, because in my opinion, you are a young master from the great Immelais family, and I was worried that you would look down on our Allen family."

"I didn't mean that."

"Yes, now I know, I am too small-minded. Did you know that there is another small island to the south of this island, and there is also a small town on the island, which is controlled by the Raphael family.

But a few days ago, a huge change occurred in the Raphael family, causing their family to be in chaos now, and all parties started fighting. The day before yesterday, I took people to the island and snatched the town over, so that this

The two islands belong to the Allen family again, although this is not legally possible."

"Congratulations."

"This is not difficult, because they have been divided internally. When I took people there, there were people inside who had already made arrangements in advance. In fact, it was not difficult to drive them away. What I had been worried about before was the revenge from the Raphael family.

Now that they have too much time to take care of themselves, revenge is naturally impossible.

In his last letter to me, my brother mentioned something that there might be trouble in the Raphael family within the next month, so I should be prepared as soon as possible.

Although my brother didn't say anything clearly to me, I guessed something when I learned that Jenny had asked Eunice to bring a young man named Immelais with her after she came back from visiting relatives.

Is it?"

Karen didn't answer.

"It seems I was right," Wood said. "This is a deal, isn't it?"

"Yes." Karen said, "It's just a transaction."

Grandpa, gave Mrs. Jenny a purple bookmark. As expected, it should read Raphael.

"Yeah." Wood nodded, "But I still want to thank your family. You know, the Raphael family has been squeezing the Allen family's living space in all aspects over the years. I am on this island, too.

Many brothers died in the battle with the Raphael family.

In fact, a few years ago, I had the opportunity to go back and inherit the position of head of the family."

"Um?"

"But during a shipping trip, I was attacked by bandits from the Raphael family. My ship was destroyed. I was injured and jumped into the sea to escape. Finally, I was saved by Elena's parents."

"It's a thrilling experience, but it's also the beginning of a beautiful love."

Wood smiled bitterly and continued:

"The Raphael family began to search for me on nearby islands. Elena's parents were killed by the Raphael family in order to hide me."

"Feel sorry."

"It's okay. Elena was several years younger than me at the time, and she was like my little sister in my eyes, but I knew that I owed her a lot. Later, I was rescued by people in my family.

When I came back, I insisted on taking Elena home, met my father, and proposed to my father that I wanted to marry Elena.

But first of all, my father was training me as the successor of the clan leader, and secondly, Elena is an immigrant, not from Venn, not even from Maclay." Wood pointed to his hair, "You

I saw it just now, her hair is purple."

Karen nodded.

"My persistence angered my father. Since then, I have been deprived of my qualifications to succeed the clan leader and was sent to Corona Island to take charge of this business. Except for the occasional time or two a year when I can go back to the manor to see my family, most of the time I

They all have to stay on this island. But..."

Wood smiled: "Elena and I have been living happily here."

"You are a responsible man." Karen held up the orange juice in her hand.

Wood also raised his glass.

"Actually, I don't deserve any praise. I only know and remember one thing. If I owe someone a favor, I have to pay it back no matter what."

Pu'er on the windowsill slowly stood up and looked at Wood hopefully. It suddenly felt that this bearded descendant was a little bit cute.

"So, originally I thought you were a young master from a large church family, but when I found out about your grandfather and your family, I felt that I had to come over and apologize to you."

"It's really not necessary, Mr. Wood."

"No, this is necessary!" Wood reached out and knocked on the table hard. "I haven't gotten along with my father and brother for a long time. My father is a bit rigid, and my brother is not very good after he became the patriarch.

I understand, but since they sit in that position of the family, they will definitely consider the interests of the family more."

"Yes, I can understand." Karen smiled.

"Snapped!"

"Fuck your understanding!" Wood smashed the half-empty brandy bottle to the ground. "I can't understand it, and I don't want to understand it either!"

Pu'er on the windowsill raised his meat claws: Very good, bearded man, keep going, keep going, keep going!

Wood stood up, walked to Karen, hugged Karen, and brought his face so close that Karen could smell the alcohol on his breath;

"Promise me that when you go to the family manor and find that my father and my brother treat you badly or despise you, you will ignore them and go back to Corona Island directly.

I will hand over my position here and the wealth I have accumulated to you. I will give you the property here, my men, my ships, everything I have!

in addition,

I will also give Carmilla to you as your wife!"

Karen: “…”

Karen blinked, why did things go in this strange direction?

Pu'er almost stood up: "Well done, big beard, my aunt is proud of you!"

"Mr. Wood, it doesn't need to be like this, I just need a place to stay..." Karen explained.

He has money to buy a small apartment, and then he can develop some side businesses, and at the same time, he can try the "belief system" practice.

In fact, Pu'er has always been right. Compared to the so-called "political marriage", Karen prefers to be alone in a corner and develop slowly.

Wood was a little embarrassed and said:

"Well, actually I know that Carmilla is not as good-looking as my niece Eunice."

"No, Mr. Wood, Carmilla is very cute."

"When a man only uses 'cute' to describe a woman, it proves that she is not your type." Wood patted Karen on the shoulder, "I was young too."

"Uh..." Karen.

"Or do you like someone who is quieter? I will ask Carmilla to take off her nose ring, and she will not be allowed to wear those strange accessories, so that she can become quieter."

"It really doesn't have to be this way, Mr. Wood."

"How can we not do this? It must be like this! Your family helped us. You don't know what a big problem the Raphael family, once the slaves of the Allen family, has developed into.

Now, your great grandfather has fallen into a permanent sleep, and your family members can no longer enter the church system.

You have lost everything;

You came to Venn;

You came to the Allen family,

I will never allow that kind of ungrateful thing to happen in front of me!

Because many of my people, probably including my father and my brother, have forgotten;

The family creed of the Allen family when they were crossing the sea,

That is……"

Wood clenched his right fist and slapped it on his right chest:

Pu'er also raised his right paw and patted his cat's chest:
Chapter completed!
