A car stopped at the gate of the manor, and Layton got out of the car with his head wrapped in gauze, his nose bruised and his face swollen. His new wound was not healed, and he was on crutches and needed the support of a male servant.

"Is this wedding over so soon?"

He took off his hat and threw it to the servant, looking at the guests in the hall.

"There was an accident on the road." The servant in the manor replied.

They looked at him with something strange in their eyes, and lowered their voices and said, "You can come to the door another day."

"I'm here to give Mr. Lizzie a wedding gift and a gift for Sierra." He waved to the people behind him, and a heavy box was dragged in in front of everyone.

Khalida, who was well aware of the gossip, deliberately approached Rose Hill and said, "It seems that Mr. Layton is going to take advantage of today to get engaged to Miss Sera. Mrs. Josie said that they are a perfect match."

"A perfect match? For a widower? She is deliberately trying to embarrass others."

Someone next to him immediately exaggerated to cater to her, "Mr. Layton is old enough to be Miss Serra's uncle."

Rose Hill took a step back, avoided the group of women, and walked away slowly.

Layton soon felt that something was wrong with the expressions of the people around him. When he was leaning on a cane and holding a glass of wine, and was about to go to the living room, he stopped.

"Duke Rosehill." His lips twitched, and he actually called out his name with some trembling.

The man came in front of him, and the height difference made him lower his head slightly. His somewhat coquettish dark red eyes were like abyss, and he was assessing the danger of the person in front of him with the eyes of a prey.

The excessive pressure made Leiden panic.

"What did you come to give Sera?" Rose Hill's voice was so low that people started to tremble.

"I"

He thought that the Duke had cut off his relationship with Sera, but now it seemed that was not the case at all. Most of his business relied on the money leaked from the other party's hands, so there was no way he could offend anyone.

Leiden's eyelids trembled, and he raised most of his eyes to look directly into his eyes. He noticed that the eyes that were a little different from ordinary people were full of darkness and cunning. He subconsciously said: "I'm here to donate money to Miss Serra. It is said that she owes a lot of money." , I want to help."

Not to support Lizzie, who was about to go bankrupt, but to her.

As soon as Sierra came down from the study, she stopped on the stairs and heard what he said, a little confused about this unexpected development.

"What else? Rose Hill leaned down slightly, approaching him with a pale and cold face, "Are you thinking about my woman? "

He had no intention of avoiding this sentence and said it openly in front of everyone.

In the past, everyone believed Josie's words and thought that Sierra was just a lover. Now this reversal has made the news overnight.

Layton didn't know what was wrong with him, his knees went weak, and he knelt in front of the man's toes in a helpless manner, "No! Mr. Rosehill, Miss Sera and I are just friends. It was Lizzie and his wife who wanted to marry someone else." Marry me in exchange for an annual alimony of fifty thousand gold coins."

By selling one of her daughters, Lizzie could get a large fixed amount of alimony, which caused an uproar when it was revealed.

Lizzy came out of the study shortly after. After hearing these words, she covered her chest in shame, missed her steps and rolled down the stairs.

Fortunately, Serati went to the side and hid, so that he was not swept down.

The servants screamed and called the doctor, and there was chaos on the first floor.

Rosehill sneered, straightened up slowly and said, "Of course I believe you, Mr. Layton, don't be so nervous."

"Okay, okay, then I'll go first. This money, this money will be used as a gift for your wedding with Miss Sera."

Layton was helped to his feet and left the manor with surprising ease.

As the only owner of the manor who was still awake, Sierra calmly asked Lizzie to be moved back to the bedroom, and asked the servants to bring all the snacks prepared in the kitchen to entertain, and let the guests go to the lawn outside or the living room to chat.

After completely dividing the crowd, the farce came to an end for the time being, and Sera looked at the person standing not far from the stairs.

She took a deep breath and walked over, "What did you just say to Layton."

"Didn't you hear everything?" He took the champagne glass from the passing servant, raised his neck and took a sip, and the moist wine stained his lips scarlet.

"I'm your woman?" Sera suppressed a laugh. She had often written such domineering words in her previous novels.

Rose Hill lowered her eyes and stared at the dazzling gemstone pendant on her white chest, her eyes dark and dark, "The name of this red borosilicate is eternity. It was the first time I saw it at that auction." I think it suits you very well."

Sera touched the cold stone, whose color was like blood, indicating the naming of eternal life.

He never gave up on making her a vampire.

Rosehill swung the wine glass, and a faint smile appeared on her pale face, "I don't bother to spend a lot of money on women, but that day I miraculously photographed the gem for you and gave it to you. , this is not the first time.”

"So?" Sierra pursed her lips and put down her hand.

"So?" His hand paused, his eyebrows lowered, and dark clouds began to accumulate in his eyes again, "Are you trying to show off to me?"

"Do you want to say that you gave it to me because you love me?" Sierra had long been immune to his bad temper and asked quite calmly.

The man's mood changed instantly, and he felt confused.

Love, for a person who has never been exposed to love since the 14th century, still doesn’t know how to define it.

If you ask him how to force a prisoner to confess, he will quickly give a countermeasure. If you ask him to bring down a country's economy, he can also quickly analyze a set of methodology. Only the meaning of love has puzzled him for a long time.

"So it's not." Sierra saw it.

"If not, why should I buy it for you? Just for you," he retorted, emphasizing the last sentence.

Sierra thought for a while, "You are just pursuing me. Men pursue women and always like to buy her things in different ways. Maybe they like her, but it is far from love."

Looking at Rose Hill's gloomy face, she put her hands around his waist, buried her face in the marble chest, and said softly: "It's good that you like me. I'm actually very happy. I'm glad you can return."

The dark clouds parted, revealing a little warmth.

Sierra left him for a moment and went upstairs to change into a set of clothes.

She stood at the entrance of the spiral staircase, met the man's soothing gaze, smiled, and disappeared around the corner.

In terms of love, she is always the one who leads Rose Hill by the nose. This is the only place where she can surpass him and distort the truth.

A vampire who had not loved anyone since the 14th century had already exceeded his limits towards her.

Sierra knew very well that he had already fallen in love with her.
