梅琳达收到了侍卫的消息,说是李智恩和贝尔娜在后花园里面喝下午茶,这个她本来不在意的,但是侍卫还说了一句

(侍卫)His Majesty was there
这一句话让梅琳达坐不住了
她直接站起身
乔伊斯吓了一跳,本来梅琳达正在帮他整理衣服,但这一下确实把他扯疼了
但是他不敢说话,也不敢出声
可是没想到,下一秒,梅琳达喜笑颜开的看着乔伊斯
她伸手摸了摸乔伊斯的脸颊

(梅琳达)Do you want to see your father?
梅琳达的语气温柔,像是一个好母亲,可乔伊斯知道这些只是假象,真正的梅琳达是什么嘴脸,他是知道的
但是他没办法,只能微微一笑,点了点头

(乔伊斯)Mother, I look forward to seeing father
很显然,乔伊斯是聪明的,他知道梅琳达想要他说什么,所以梅琳达很高兴
她伸手摸了摸乔伊斯的头

(梅琳达)Why don't you go to your room and get your brother and sister out?

(梅琳达)I'm going to get your father to be with you right now
这才是梅琳达的用意
梅琳达高兴的离开了,乔伊斯抬头起眼神有些晦暗不明
旁边的侍卫对乔伊斯还是有些恭敬的

(侍卫)Let's go to the room, young master
乔伊斯点了点头,走在前面
——
梅琳达来到了后花园,直接去了小庭院

(梅琳达)So your Majesty is here for afternoon tea?
未见其人先闻其声,这是梅琳达的标志了
李智恩摸了摸肚子,微微一笑

(来得可真是时候)

(不过正好可以帮我一把)

I didn't expect Melinda to be in the garden
梅琳达对着李智恩和贝尔娜微笑,贝尔娜也微微行礼

(梅琳达)I heard you two were close
梅琳达来到陛下身边

(梅琳达)But how can your Majesty intrude on the two sisters' private conversation

(梅琳达)Joyce said he missed his father
这句话让李智恩都愣了一下
因为李智恩见过乔伊斯
陛下显然也动容了

(陛下)What is Joyce doing at this moment?

(梅琳达)With a couple of kids, of course

(梅琳达)Joyce, you know, is the calm one
看来乔伊斯真的让陛下很喜欢
李智恩微笑

Joyce is a child I have seen
李智恩的这一句话让所有人的目光都转到了她的身上

I kind of like him
