Chapter-87: do you want to become the adoptive daughter?
She nodded slightly to the officer and said, "Thank you very much." Be graceful and dignified, and know when to act. Fourth Miss Yates saw this and felt even more confused. Why did the official only deal with Wendy Lark? The head of the second house was Second Master lark.
There was a big bed and a soft couch in the room, and there was a bathroom behind the screen, which was kept spotlessly clean. Wendy Lark took a quick look around and was quite satisfied with the environment.
The waiter asked attentively, "Miss, what else do you need?" Wendy Lark unpacked the package, which contained clean clothes for changing. "Request a few buckets of hot water and some snacks."
If you can't finish the food, just take it away. She gave him ten cents as a tip, and the waiter didn't think it was too little, and happily responded, "Okay."
Wendy Lark looked at the master and servant standing at the door and raised her eyebrows. "Miss Yates, how do you and your servant plan to stay together? Do you want to stay in the same room with us?
Or do you want to pay for another room? You are good citizens and are not subject to the control of the officials. As long as you have money, it's fine." Her voice was cold and clear, revealing an indescribable aura.
Miss Celia Yates looked at the busy people next door, and then looked at the girl in front of her who was showing off her talent. She felt a lot of pressure, "...I will live with you." How could she dare to live alone in such an unfamiliar environment?
Wendy Lark said straightforwardly, "Okay, you sleep on the couch and your maid sleeps on the floor, is that ok?" She had already made all the arrangements, what else could Fourth Miss Yu do?
"Okay." The master and servant only brought a package, and there was nothing much to pack. Wendy Lark thought the Yates family was really interesting. They just abandoned their daughter and didn't care about her anymore.
Let alone sending a dowry, they should at least prepare some luggage. Those who knew said it was a daughter's wedding, while those who didn't thought it was throwing away a burden.
"You didn't bring any bedding, so considering that you're alone, we'll give you the bedding that the Cooper family sent you. You don't have to share the accommodation fee with us. As for food and clothing, you can take care of it yourself. Is that ok?" Miss Yates was stunned.
"What?" Wendy Lark found a chair and sat down, as if she was going to have a long conversation. "Our family spends one and a half coins of silver every day. One coin is for sharing meals with the officials, and half a coin is for accommodation.
Since you are one more person, you can stay with us, but the food expenses will be added separately." She had no reason to pay for Miss Celia Yates, as her money didn't come from the wind. Fourth Miss Yates was so shocked that she was speechless.
The maid was very angry. "My Miss is the future daughter in law of your Lark family. It is said that if you marry a man, you will get clothes and food. The Lark family has the responsibility to take care of my Miss..."
How can we let them pay for it themselves? That's too rude. Wendy Lark was too lazy to argue with a servant. "Fourth Miss Yates, I know you don't want to get married, and I understand your feelings. After all, if you get married, you will be convicted and become a criminal woman that everyone looks down upon."
She paused, "So, make it clear from the beginning, don't get too involved. If you find a good person in the future, the Lark family will help you." Her statement was a little unbelievable, and Miss Yates was stunned and said.
"Why do you think that we can get married with a good reputation after traveling together...?" Wendy Lark waved her hands. These were not a problem. "Are you willing to be my parents' adopted daughter?"
Fourth Miss Yates was stunned again, completely unable to follow her train of thought, "Adopted daughter?" Marriage cannot be forced. Wendy Lark felt that it would be better for everyone if she made it clear from the beginning.
"Yes, the marriage certificate is returned, the engagement is cancelled, and she will only be an adopted daughter. Even if we are not blood relatives, we can still be relatives and support each other."
"You can't go back. Our Lark family is the most kind and righteous. We can't just abandon you." She boasted openly, "Of course, I don't want my second brother to marry a wife who is unwilling to marry and be unhappy for the rest of his life."
She felt sorry for her brother. The cheerful and cheerful boy who loved to laugh deserved a wife whose heart and eyes were filled with him. Miss Celia Yates is not a bad person, but she is not suitable. "Whether it's marriage or cooperation, it all depends on mutual consent..."
"Miss Wendy, all the vegetables have been bought, come and has a look." A voice came from outside, interrupting Wendy Lark's words. She looked at the sky and saw that it was time to cook dinner. She promised to make a big meal to reward everyone.
"I have to go out for a while. You can think about it slowly. There is no need to rush." Miss Yates couldn't help but call her, "Wait a minute, can you make the decision?"
"Of course..." Wendy Lark exuded confidence and there was light in her eyes. This is the confidence that Miss Yates has never seen in other girls. As soon as she left, she took her family away to help.
