"Do you think if I ask Arabella to refuse, she would agree?"
Uncle Reed said, "The little miss respects you the most. If you don't agree with her going, she certainly won't go."
Mary Douglas slowly curled her lips, with a slight, bitter smile: "Really?"
"Yes..." Uncle Reed said softly, but after another few seconds of pause, he still looked at the top of Mary Douglas's head before speaking again.
"But Eldest Miss, ever since four months ago, we got the news... Kyoto, Old Master Perkins's seventieth birthday, with so many coincidences... The little miss accepted the invitation without knowing anything... Isn't this also a kind of fate's guidance?"
Fate's guidance...
But she just wants her daughter to have an ordinary life.
The royal intrigues, she doesn't want Arabella tangled up in it.
She just hopes Arabella grows up safely and even grows old happily and peacefully.
Mary Douglas didn't speak again.
