Ms. Wilma Gladys, who had a big belly, reluctantly put down the porcelain bowl in her hand. Only one of the three ice cream balls originally contained in it was left, and her eyes continued to stay there for a moment before she suddenly moved away.
"Give one to me, and one to the little guy in your belly... No, both are his!"
Vilma made an excuse for his enthusiasm for ice cream and walked away slowly to avoid taking two more bites.
Before this pregnancy, I didn't like this kind of cold food. It may have something to do with the change in eating habits during pregnancy, but it didn't happen during my previous pregnancy... She muttered to herself and prepared to go around to the other side of the dance floor to find her husband Aaron, who was chatting with several guests in the buffet area, laughing softly from time to time.
"Vilma, my wife," seeing her approaching, Dr. Aaron quickly stepped forward to greet her and stayed with his lover to avoid any accidents. He introduced each other by the way, "Lord Macht, he made important contributions to the blue sky of Backlund, Stuart, made great contributions to the kingdom, Professor Momont, you should have seen his name in various journals."
As for Angel and Klein who had met before, Aaron did not make any other introductions.
Several people also expressed their blessings to Aaron's unborn child, and then continued the topic just now, while Vilma stood by with a smile, listened, and chatted a few words from time to time.
After becoming pregnant, she had not attended a similar party for a long time, and she felt increasingly depressed at home. This time she attended the dance on a whim, in order to participate in the conversations of other guests and learn the latest information, so as not to lose touch with society after being at home for a long time due to pregnancy.
"Miss Theresa, I heard that you are leaving Backlund and returning to Intis recently?"
Professor Portland Momont, who was tall and had a loud voice, was holding a glass of white wine and looked at Angel. The curiosity in his eyes well concealed his appreciation for the opposite sex.
He is a polite old gentleman... Angel commented, and replied with a chuckle:
"I have decided to settle in Backlund. This time I just go back to deal with some things. After all, I have lived in Trier for several years. I have some people I know and some things I haven't gotten rid of yet."
Her pretended to be mysterious answer made others look interested. Only Major Stuart nodded clearly, understanding Angel's hint that she would personally handle the transaction of "Smuggled Military Supplies".
"I went to Trier ten years ago," Momont took a sip of wine with a nostalgic look on his face. "The academic exchange meeting was not long, but it also included an on-site visit... It actually took everyone to visit the city's attractions. I was deeply impressed by the zoning there. They actually divided it into twenty zones, not including the underground part. The subway system is complicated and difficult to maintain..."
Under the guidance of this powerful professor, the topic quickly turned into a criticism of Intis's technical level lagging behind Loen. Klein and Maht could still keep up with his ideas, but Vilma, who was observing, quickly lost interest and went to the rest area with the help of Aaron.
Seeing them leaving, Angel also apologized to the others, politely declined the invitation to dance with the two passing men, followed Aaron and his wife to a corner of the hall, and appropriately expressed concern for the physical condition of the pregnant woman.
The couple, who often met each other because they lived on the same street, were not surprised by Angel's enthusiasm. After the three exchanged a few words, Angel said casually:
"I may be leaving for Intis next week. If everything goes well, I can return within a week. If not... I may not be able to attend this little guy's birth party in early July."
Her words surprised both Aaron and Vilma. The latter covered his mouth and asked worriedly:
"Christine, do you think there will be any danger if you go back to Intis? I heard that many areas in Trier are more chaotic than East Borough in Backlund."
"Of course not, it's just some business matters, maybe not as smooth as I thought..."
Angel replied, looking at Vilma's swollen belly, and chuckled:
"If this little guy can give me some blessings, maybe my trip to Trier will be smoother."
Before she finished speaking, Vilma frowned, covered her stomach with both hands, and let out a soft cry of pain.
Then, her brows relaxed slightly, a smile appeared on her face, and she said to Angel with some confusion and excitement:
"He just kicked me!"
"This may be a blessing to Christine. I hope she can return smoothly from this trip."
Aaron said while holding his wife's shoulders lovingly.
What I was waiting for was this sentence, no, this kick... Angel expressed his heartfelt thanks to Mr. and Mrs. Aaron, and then left the resting place, leaving some private space for the two of them.
With the blessing of the unborn "Snake of Fate" Will Auceptin, Angel was completely relieved and full of confidence in the next trip to Trier.
After all, she is not only smuggling arms on the surface, but also needs to solve the problem of "Mirror Person", and may even face the top management of "Demoness Sect".
Moreover, as Angel of Sequence 1, He should be able to predict my next fate. If he is unwilling to give blessings, there are a hundred ways to prevent his mother from attending this dance, such as kicking her a few more times...
Angel was teasing in his heart. He returned to the area where he had just chatted and found that several Gentlemen had left. Klein, as the host of the dance, invited other female guests to dance a social dance.
Just in time, I can enjoy some delicious food... She observed for a while and found that Klein's dance was quite alienated, completely different from when dancing with herself, so she felt relieved, picked up the dinner plate, and selected some Desi specialties such as grilled chicken and fish, and drank Sweet Iced Tea with ice, ready to satisfy her appetite.
But before the tender chicken could enter her mouth, there was a sound of footsteps behind Angel. She looked back and found Bishop Electra walking slowly with a glass of red wine.
My grilled chicken and grilled fish...Angel sighed secretly, put down the plate and fork, and took the initiative to say hello.
"Miss Theresa, I'm so glad you didn't miss today's dance, otherwise this hall would have lost most of its splendor," the bishop said in a low voice to prevent other guests, especially women, from hearing this biased remark. "How was it? What's your impression of Dwayne Dantès?"
"Just like I imagined, he is reserved and polite in church and theater, but when we dance together he is unrestrained and passionate, and he has many secrets hidden in his heart, which is fascinating."
Angel's unabashed compliment made Elektra smile even more. He looked at Klein on the dance floor and took over the words with a smile:
"Maybe it has something to do with his early experience. I heard that when he was young, he was away from home, um, working, so he could only hide his feelings in his heart because he was afraid of disturbing others. But now that he has settled in Backlund, he is trying to find his other half... I think he may have found it."
I heard this too, and I was outside the bedroom window at the time, listening to Arrodes talking nonsense inside... Angel could hardly hold back her smile, so I quickly took a sip of Sweet Iced Tea to relieve the embarrassment.
Fortunately, Bishop Electra did not continue this topic, perhaps because he thought it would be enough. He quickly left with the wine glass and walked towards his wife, who seemed to have just grown up. The latter was having a one-sided exchange with Hazel, who was standing in the corner and observing the dance floor coldly. His passionate words made the cold and arrogant Miss a little overwhelmed.
It turns out that the "small, delicate, and energetic young woman" that Arrodes said that day was alluding to the choice of Bishop Your Excellency. Who could the other ones be referring to... Looking at Elektra's back, Angel thought secretly, and suddenly found that Klein had finished a dance and reappeared in front of him.
If you invite me to dance again, I will go to your bedroom at midnight today - she expressed her will with her mouth.
Klein saw this, smiled helplessly, pointed to the dining area behind her, and said:
"The host of the banquet is also obliged to taste various foods and evaluate whether they are to the taste of the guests."
For some reason, when he said this, he always felt like he was missing something.
After the dance, Angel returned home, washed up, came to the bedroom, lay down on the soft bed without much delay, and fell asleep.
Her original plan was indeed to return to Klein's house in the middle of the night via Mirror World, and stay for a while or simply stay overnight, depending on the situation. However, considering that she met the unborn Will Auceptin tonight, Angel had a premonition that the other party would visit her, so she stayed at her home obediently.
According to Klein's previous experience of using a paper crane to contact this "Snake of Fate", I should dream of him appearing in my dream at night... It's a pity that the paper crane has been broken, otherwise I wouldn't have to go to such trouble to "perform" in front of the Aaron couple... Angel muttered, forcing himself to enter the Dream Invasion realm.
Sure enough, deep in the dream, she suddenly appeared on a vast, desolate plain, surrounded by dark gravel, and the sky was dim and filled with thin mist.
There is a black spire standing in the distance, which seems to be attracting Angel to get closer.
If I was really dreaming, I might have walked in in a daze... Angel thought about it, walked around in Lucid Dream, and found that the plain seemed endless, but within sight, only the spire was special. In the end, I could only get closer to it and enter through the gate at the bottom of the tower.
Stepping on the ancient and decaying floor, passing through the chaotically laid out passages, and reaching the depths of the giant tower, Angel saw a black stroller, which was parked quietly in the center of a circular room. The interior was obscured by shadows, and only a piece of silver silk could be barely seen wrapping the petite baby.
