Chapter 138 The Substitute Little Princess 25
Chapter 138 The Substitute Little Princess 25
Taoyao felt that her pent-up emotions had reached a critical point. Being an obedient and sensible daughter was really tiring. You couldn't refuse, you couldn't lose your temper, and you couldn't disobey.
Edward held Taoyao's hand. He felt very sorry for her, but Anna was Taoyao's mother and he could not disrespect her.
Field felt that the meal was really boring. Unlike Edward, who could only watch his beloved woman cry but was too timid to speak for her, he was used to being a superior and had to vent his unhappiness.
"Mrs. Anna, I know you feel wronged, and I admire you very much. But as a mother, I feel you seem to ignore Chris's feelings. Imposing your emotions on Chris will only make her feel suffocated. Chris is not your doll. You can try to let her grow on her own. I believe Chris will give you good feedback."
Anna's tears suddenly stopped. Perhaps Field was right. Chris was not her doll, and she shouldn't be the one to dress up everything about her.
Tao Yao had lost her appetite for food. Her snow-white face was shrouded in a faint sadness. She pulled her hand out of Edward's palm and turned the wheelchair.
"Sorry. I'm a little tired. Please enjoy your meal."
Seeing that she was about to leave, Anna tried to stop her.
"Chrissy."
After saying this, Tao Yao paused, then turned the wheelchair back to the room without hesitation.
Edward looked at his empty palms. For the first time, he hated himself so much. He had just backed down. He did not stand up to speak for Chris at the first time, but let Field get the upper hand.
The dinner ended hastily. Field looked at the young man in front of him. He took out a cigarette box from his chest, took out a cigarette, and lit it without hesitation. His stern face flickered in the dark night.
He exhaled a puff of smoke and looked at the lit room on the second floor.
"Aren't you going to go up and accompany her? Why didn't you step forward just now? It seems a little too late to regret it now."
Edward's eyes were red, and he was like a wolf cub, wanting to tear the man in front of him to pieces.
"Do you think that if you help her, she will be grateful to you and fall in love with you? Field, you are just a poor wretch begging for her love like me."
Field put out the unfinished cigarette with his hand, and then crushed the cigarette butt into pieces with his leather shoes.
"So what? You know what? I can make you die quietly with just a flick of my finger. If it weren't for Aunt Pauline, you, a bastard who shouldn't have been born, would have died long ago."
Field curled his lips into a sneer, and he completely tore off his disguise.
Edward's eyes were frighteningly bright in the dark night. He walked to within an inch of Liefeld, and his sapphire eyes, like his, were filled with anger and unwillingness.
"Feld, you are already old. I still have plenty of time, but can you afford to waste it? One day I will stand in a higher position than you. I understand her better than you and love her more. You are just a hypocrite. You don't deserve her at all."
Field looked indifferent. He just thought Edward was too naive. He was younger than him, but so what? Without the support of his family, it was impossible for him to sit in a higher position than him on his own. This world was very realistic. In his eyes, he was just a grumpy young boy and was not to be feared at all.
As Field turned to leave, he looked back at him.
"Yes, I look forward to that day, my dear brother, Edward."
For the last three words, Field deliberately lowered his voice and drew out the ending tone, with a sense of nonchalant mockery in his words.
Tao Yao didn't expect that she would see the busy Field early the next morning. The morning sun fell on him, as if covering him with a layer of rosy glow.
He sat on the sofa downstairs with a cup of hot tea in his hand.
Edward and Pauline had gone to school, Anna had gone to an orphanage, and only Taoyao and a bunch of servants were left at home.
Field heard the noise and stood up immediately. He walked over, took the wheelchair from the servant, and pushed her to the dining table.
"Little Butterfly, did you sleep well last night?"
Taoyao felt that Field was a little strange. He was a well-known busy man, but he actually had time to come to see her today, and came so early in the morning to wait for her to wake up. He was being so attentive to her for no reason. He was either a traitor or a thief. She should be careful.
Taoyao drank some hot milk and looked at Field with her innocent emerald eyes.
"Field, how come you have time to come here today?"
Field looked at the milk stains on her lips, patiently took out a handkerchief and wiped her lips.
"You don't seem very happy. How about taking you horseback riding?"
Tao Yao hasn't been out for a long time. Except for being taken out to bask in the sun, she stays quietly in the house all the time, waiting for the tutor to come every day. After class, she returns to being alone again. Only when Edward and others come back in the afternoon will someone talk to her.
Tao Yao agreed without thinking, and a rare smile appeared on her beautiful face.
"Okay, but my legs can't ride a horse. Are you going to tie me to you like last time?"
Field was amused by her. It seemed that the last dance had left her with a bad impression of herself.
"Wouldn't it be nice to tie you to me? I'll be your legs, I go where you go, and we'll never be apart."
Tao Yao glared at him angrily. Field must have been infected by Edward. Why did these two yanderes want to tie her up?
"Field, I'm not your pendant."
After Taoyao finished her meal, Field took her to the stables behind. On her birthday before, Field gave her a pony. Because Anna was afraid that she would get hurt, she only saw the pony once, and then the servants took care of it.
Taoyao was wearing a black waisted riding suit, white trousers and riding boots, and Field was wearing the same thing.
Field gave her a snow-white pony that looked like a big toy and quite cute.
Field held her wrist. Taoyao was holding an apple in her hand. She was a little scared. Field held her wrist to encourage her.
"Don't be afraid, Chris. It's very gentle and won't hurt you."
When the horse saw the apple, it opened its mouth wide and ate the apple in one bite. Tao Yao felt her hands were wet. It turned out that the horse's saliva fell on her hands.
She plucked up the courage to touch the horse's mane, which felt hard and prickly.
Field suddenly picked her up and put her on the horse's back. His big hands placed on Taoyao's legs to fix her position. The next second, Field also came up. He sat behind Taoyao and put his arms around her waist.
"Keep sitting tight, Chris."
Field was afraid that she would be scared, so he rode very slowly. After Taoyao got used to it, he sped up.
After finishing his fencing lesson today, Edward hurried back to accompany Tao Yao. He found that there was no one in the room. When he heard from the servant that she was with Field, Edward's face turned ugly and he went to the horse ranch in the backyard in a rage.
