Chapter Eight
In Harrusburg, Bermuda, when Zhou Ming and Caitlin finally reunited in the room, in another room not far from them, Caitlin's father, the last Austrian Grand Duke Ferdinand, sat in a chair.
If there was an appraiser here, he would definitely be able to see from the hollow pattern and gilded materials of the chair that this chair was definitely a handmade product from famous artists and was of great value; in fact, this was indeed Ferdinand's favorite piece of furniture, but at this time he had no time to look at it, because he was still holding a black and white photo in his hand.
The photo shows a woman. Ferdinand looked at the photo blankly, tears flowing out involuntarily. He choked and said, "My wife, Sissi, I think I need to apologize to you, because not long ago, I personally sent our daughter Caitlin to another man's room;;;; Novel.+."
"You sharp-mouthed idiot! I know you will definitely scold me like this, right? But this time, you really have to listen to my explanation."
Ferdinand smiled sadly, as if remembering some things from the past. He then said: "Zhou Ming, this is the name of a Chinese. He comes from a very distant country in the East. He is the husband of our daughter who chose himself. She was the person she recognized after going to China once. If she recognized it, it will not change. Our daughter is obviously much better than me in this regard!"
"Of course, in order to avoid Caitlin's nonsense, I also had contact with Zhou Ming. What do you think in the end? My worries are very redundant. Zhou Ming is a very reassuring man. I'm not saying how superb he has, but his attitude."
Ferdinand continued: "He is a person who is very capable of facing himself and reality. He does not have those ridiculous so-called dignity. I have only felt such people in reading the autobiography of Caesar."
Speaking of this, Ferdinand suddenly paused: "I know, Sissi, you will definitely say that I did this for the Harrusburg family, and you will also call me a selfish bastard, not considering Caitlyn's happiness at all, right?"
Ferdinand then lowered his head: "I don't deny this, because this is Caitlin's responsibility as the first heir of Harrusburg, and it is also something I, the leader of the Harrusburg, must consider. After all, Harrusburg has been in decline for a hundred years, and now it has been betrayed by Andre, the beast. I can't even save this Harrusburg. Harrusburg needs someone to help him revitalize, and Zhou Ming will be such a person."
"Of course the most important thing is that I believe he will not abandon Caitlin at all!"
Ferdinand said firmly, but suddenly he sighed again and said, "But you won't believe me, right? But I'm not going to quarrel with you, I just want to tell you that our daughter has her own home, and we don't need to worry anymore. Maybe... we will quarrel again soon, I just hope that God can forgive my sins!"
...
One night passed quickly. When the sun shone in from the window, Zhou Ming slowly opened his eyes. First, she felt Caitlin sleeping in her arms curled up, and her hair made her chest itchy.
Zhou Ming then remembered the proud Harrusburg princess last night. She ran to her room to serve her in the middle of the night. She was very rational. After all, women were so happy that they could do whatever they should take off their pants. But the problem was that the problem after getting into a woman was troublesome. However, later she could not withstand her tears and begging, so she could no longer do Liu Xiahui and asked her lower body to help her make a decision.
Zhou Ming looked down and Caitlin looked like a sleeping kitten with a slight smile on her face. It was thought that for so long that she could finally have a safe sleep, which made her feel very at ease.
But looking down, there is another beautiful view, which is a piece of snow-white and delicate skin, a smooth back, a slender waist that can be held in one hand, and a pair of round and slender legs. These all remind Zhou Ming of Caitlin's extremely soft body last night, and when she pressed her icicle-like jade legs against her chest, she could still twist her waist and cooperate with her.
She may have been a noble noble in the past and an unattainable goddess, but now she is her own woman.
Thinking of this, Zhou Ming couldn't help but wandered on her body again. Caitlin's body was so sensitive that even though she was still sleeping, she still made a heart-warming moan.
After a while, the feeling on her body made Caitlin slowly wake up. She saw Zhou Ming, who was making trouble on her chest at first sight. She cursed with a pretty face red and said, "Hate, I'm not honest early in the morning!"
But Caitlin cursed like this, but he hugged Zhou Ming's head in his hand, not wanting him to leave.
"My Princess, I can feel that there is already slippery there. Are you allowed to come in?"
Zhou Ming asked deliberately in Caitlin's ear. This was Caitlin's sensitive area. When Zhou Ming spoke in her ear, the scorching male aura immediately confused her heart. She no longer thought at this time, but just hugged Zhou Ming and cooperated with him to spread her legs: "Come on, my man, my knight!"
No matter who heard his woman say such words charmingly in his arms, he could no longer bear it. So Zhou Ming immediately turned over and pressed on her body, lowering his head and leaving kiss marks on her delicate body as delicate as cream.
...
It was already nine o'clock in the morning when Zhou Ming and Caitlin walked out of the room. Originally, Zhou Ming wanted to stay in bed until eleven or twelve o'clock, but he thought that he was in Harrusburg after all, and Caitlin's father was still watching outside! Others handed over his daughter to him, and he had to set a good example on the first day to prove that he was; so they got up after a while of rest.
But when they opened the door, they saw Zhang Lin sitting outside in the living room with a serious expression.
"You guys get up, I'm here to wait for you. I hope you can be mentally prepared, especially Caitlin. You must be prepared to accept very bad things." Zhang Lin said.
These brainless words made Zhou Ming and Caitlin feel very strange. Caitlin smiled and nodded and said, "Thank you very much for your reminder. I think I am still very confident in my psychological endurance, so can you tell us what happened first?"
"Your father, Grand Duke Ferdinand, he has passed away," said Zhang Lin.
As Zhang Lin said, Caitlin's smile on her face began to turn cold. She turned to Zhou Ming and asked, "Is this your way of joking? If so, I don't like such jokes!"
Zhou Ming glanced at Zhang Lin and said to her: "I don't think he is joking."
Zhou Ming's approval made Caitlin's eyes widen, as if she could not believe that this was what Zhou Ming said. At this time, Zhang Lin said: "Your father, he is still in his room."
After hearing this, Caitlin immediately ran towards her father's room. The door of the room was just hidden there. Caitlin gently pushed it open. She wanted her father to sit in a chair and read a book, telling herself that it was a prank he conspired with Zhou Ming and Zhang Lin.
Finally, when the door was opened, Caitlin did see his father sitting in a chair, but was sitting there motionless, and at his feet there was a black and white photo with a broken glass frame.
Seeing this scene, she immediately understood. Caitlin's legs became weak and she knelt down.
"That's a photo of my mother. My father loves my mother very much. He can't let my mother's photo be broken!" Caitlin said to Zhou Ming who followed him in with sobs.
"I'm sorry, I don't know when Lingzun passed away. I only know that when I woke up this morning, my intuition felt that someone died in the room and found your father's body." Zhang Lin said.
Caitlin shook her head and said, "It's not your fault. It's very sudden and you can't do anything even if you find out."
From Zhang Lin's words, Zhou Ming knew that he had confirmed Ferdinand's death. Zhou Ming also understood that as a soldier who had truly been on the battlefield, he was very sensitive to death, so even if he was not a doctor, he could confirm his death.
Zhou Ming thought this way and said to Caitlin: "Since things have happened, I know you must be very sad now, but what we should do now is to bury your father well. But I don't understand your Harrusburg or Western etiquette. Do you know how to do it?"
Caitlin shook her head blankly: "What should I do? I just attended my grandfather's funeral when I was a child, and I never thought about my father's death, and I didn't know."
This was Zhou Ming's expected answer. After all, she was just a little girl in her early twenties. How could she know how to prepare her father's funeral?
It was me, in my previous life, my father passed away very early, and I and my mother were confused and didn’t know what to do. Fortunately, it was the help of my father’s good friends in the factory that gave him a grand funeral. Although Zhou Ming was very reluctant, this was the only filial piety he could do as a child after his parents passed away.
Zhou Ming breathed a sigh of relief when he thought of this, and he said to Caitlin: "It doesn't matter if you don't know, so do you still have relatives? After all, your Harrusburg is a big family, and your uncles and the others will know it, right? We can call and ask, as for the cost, you don't have to worry, I'm not as good as the Harrusburg family, but this funeral is still fine."
After saying that, Zhou Ming thought about it again: "Or it really doesn't work, you can also follow our Eastern etiquette. At least I know a little about this."
"Zhou Ming, do whatever you say, I will listen to you." Caitlin said.
Zhou Ming knew that Caitlin was stunned by this unexpected blow, but it was no wonder. Who would have thought that the person who was so lucky yesterday passed away today? He was not better than Caitlin in his previous life.
