Why it never ends

Chapter 240 Secret News
Hesta listened for a while, "Why does it seem that someone is still crying? Is something wrong?"

"It's okay. An old acquaintance of the Duke has encountered some trouble recently. I hope the Duke can intervene." The butler replied.

"He is going to be in trouble himself, and he is still helping others to solve their troubles?"

The butler smiled helplessly, "The duke is such a person."

Hesta sat on a chair in the study and turned around.

"Help me close the door." She said softly, "Go and tell Victoria, if she needs me for anything, come to the study, I will stay here tonight."

"Okay." The butler responded and left, closing the door from the outside, and the crying in the hall suddenly became much quieter.

This study room was at the end of the corridor on the first floor. Since Tanglar didn't like reading, almost no one came in or out except the cleaning servants.

Even so, this study room is still magnificently decorated, the towering bookcase is full of old books, the marble floor is as clean as new, and there are patterns of the sun god printed on it, but the light golden crystal chandelier on the ceiling is reflected on it, swaying. It's uncomfortable for the eyes.

Hesta kicked off the table, and slid to the bookshelf with the chair. She lay back on the chair, her eyes casually scanned the words on the spine of the book, and finally stopped slowly by the window with the chair.

Hesta spun half a circle briskly, then put his legs on the window sill, folded his hands on his waist, and closed his eyes to rest.

The rain fell on the glass window of the study, and the sound was cold and faint.

But after a while, the door was suddenly opened from the outside, and two people rushed in. Just as Hesta was about to get up and turn around, he heard Sean's voice.

"I can't explain clearly to you, anyway, can you listen to me again? Let's stay here and don't go out for now!"

"I don't understand what are you afraid of?"

——This is Calvin's voice, and it sounds a little angry... This is really too rare.

Hesta quietly returned to the previous posture.

"I'm not afraid..." Sean closed the door, his voice a little louder than before, "I just don't want to cause trouble for us! You are so strong, you are very recognizable even with a mask on."

"So what if you recognize it? We only went to his shoe store once, and I'd forget about it if you didn't mention it. What's the trouble? Sean, you can't always be so surprised -"

"I'm not surprised!" Sean inserted his hand into his hair and pulled it hard twice.

He paced around in place, thought for a while, and his tone quickly softened, "Carl, can you just listen to me this time? I promise I won't mess around again..."

"There are so many strange guests there tonight, we can't hide here!" Calvin scolded, "If there are assassins among them, then the Duke's safety—"

"Is it the safety of the Duke or the safety of the Duchess?" Sean's tone suddenly became bitter, "Are you reluctant to leave your sight for a while? That's a married woman, Karl, sober up! What are we, even if Will Even if Fu dies, it will not be your turn!"

"Shaw-en!"

Oh yo...

Hesta curled his toes in embarrassment.

It was rare to hear Calvin call Sean's name in such a tone.If this continues, I still don't know what Sean will shake off...

Hesta didn't want to listen any more, and snored lightly.

This sound was like thunder in the ears of the two brothers, and the two fell silent at the same time. Soon, they heard someone on the chair not far away sniffing again, and the joints of the chair were pressed out to make an unpleasant "squeak" sound.

Calvin frowned, and walked slowly towards the window sill—they were so busy arguing just now that they didn't realize there was anyone else in the room.

Sean also realized the danger, he swallowed nervously, and followed Calvin towards the window sill.

"Jane?" Calvin called out in disbelief.

Hesta pretended to wake up, and suddenly raised her eyes and stood up, until she saw that it was Calvin, she let out a sigh of relief, "It's you... I really surprised me, why are you here?"

Sean instinctively took a dozen steps back, and when he had reached the door, he clenched his fists tightly again, forcing himself to look directly at Hesta's face.

Calvin stared at Hesta with a complicated expression.

"Did you hear anything?" he asked in a low voice.

"What?" Hesta looked confused.

Calvin stood there a little helplessly, his face was very ugly, he hesitated to speak for a while.

"You don't need to explain. If I said I didn't hear it, I really didn't hear anything."

"……it is good."

"Is the banquet over?"

"Not yet." Calvin whispered, "Sean isn't used to crowded places, so we just wandered around by ourselves."

Hesta looked towards the door in feigned surprise, as if he had just realized that there was another person in the room.

Sean's face was already flushed, and he stared at Hesta vigilantly, but the other party's eyes just swept past him lightly.

"Sit down," Hesta rubbed his face, "I've been busy all day today, I'm really tired... I want to sleep a little longer."

Calvin responded, and sat elsewhere with Sean.

There was silence in the study.

Hesta turned on the phone and sent a message to Victoria. Not long after, Calvin stood up, "I'm going out for a while."

"...what are you doing?" Sean asked.

"Victoria asked me to go out for a while." Calvin whispered, "I'll be back in a while."

"Carl—"

Sean still wanted to try to save something, but Calvin had already closed the door.

This sudden change made Sean struggle a bit.

There was no sound in the study, and he looked at Hesta's location from the corner of his eye, and suddenly his whole heart hung up—the swivel chair was empty at this moment, and Hesta was gone.

A voice sounded from beside him at this moment.

"It seems that the effect of exposure shock therapy is really good. You have dared to live in the same room with me... You have made great progress."

Sean trembled for a while, and he got up almost immediately, but Hesta pushed him back to his original position before he could stand still.

Hesta's body blocked the ceiling light in the study, casting a shadow.

This scene made Sean's teeth chatter unconsciously, and the blood on his face gradually faded.

"Tell me," Hesta stepped on Sean's chair, "What kind of thing is it that makes you prefer to stay with me rather than go out to meet people?"

"What are you talking about... I... I can't understand a word."

"Don't understand? You should have discovered it when you came. Except for this study, the other rooms on the first floor are locked. You want to hide elsewhere, but the key is with the housekeeper. Without her, you can go anywhere No."

Sean leaned on the chair and barely moved a few inches to the side. Hesta grabbed his collar expressionlessly and dragged him in front of her.

"Did you do something bad again, Sean?"
