Why it never ends

Chapter 257 Meeting
"Okay." Hesta finished answering and lay down on the chair again.

"...Why did you fall asleep again?"

"The most important thing for me now is to sleep well," Hesta smiled, "Good afternoon."

……

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Hesta went to meet with Victoria as a matter of routine, and told her that today was still a peaceful day, and there was no sign of the assassin approaching.

"I also had a mood swing today," Hesta confessed, "I don't know if I have to—"

"No need this time, Si Lei told me that an actor sang a song." Victoria replied, "...the name of the song just happens to be the same as that of a friend of yours, doesn't it?"

"Ah."

"I understand this feeling, sometimes it is really uncomfortable..." Victoria stopped writing, and she looked up at Hesta, "But every time we feel emotional, it shows that we still Not forgetting, so it’s not bad, is it?”

Hesta nodded again, "Well, I think so too."

Victoria smiled, "Go to dinner and go to bed early at night."

Before leaving, Hesta suddenly thought of something, "By the way, there is one more thing... Do you know where Miss Chiba is now? I have been in Tanyi for four days, and I haven't seen her yet."

"She won't come here recently," Victoria got up and pulled the curtain behind her, "Because we want to keep you here, she needs to complete some work that would have been assigned to you—I didn't tell you You're because she said if you didn't ask, you don't have to mention it."

Hesta closed her eyes briefly, then lowered her head, "...Understood, thank you."

……

At night, everyone sat around to eat, but tonight, Alvira and Sophie still did not show up.

During the dinner, Tanglar was still the most talkative person. He pestered Palan to tell a lot of interesting things that happened on Queen's Day in the past. .

Not only was Palan listening, but she was listening attentively, and every pun Tanglar threw elicited a burst of laughter from her, especially to Tanglar's benefit.

"Grey!" Tanglar patted Roger on the table, "What's the matter with you, I didn't say a word tonight, and I shouldn't talk to you, I'm absent-minded—that joke that Miss Paran just told you Did you hear that?"

Roger looked up, although he didn't drink at all tonight, but at the moment his face was slightly drunk, "Sorry, I was thinking about something else."

Tanglar narrowed his eyes, looked at Roger carefully, and suddenly burst out laughing: "I see!"

Palan looked at Tanglar curiously, "What does the Viscount understand?"

"You don't understand," Tanglar patted his swollen belly, winked at Roger with an accomplice look, and then gently turned to Palan's side, "I know my man very well." My friend, every time he shows such an expression, it must be... something unexpected."

Roger saw Hesta coming down from the second floor out of the corner of his eye, and he immediately shook his head in a precarious position. In order to prevent Tanglar from saying any unappetizing words, he stood up and said, "I'm done eating."

"Wait! Gray, you—" Tanglar held out his hand to Roger, "you—then what, when? You told me once yesterday, but I forgot—"

"Tomorrow." Roger said with a smile, "tomorrow morning."

"I have something for you, but I always forget...I'll have someone deliver it tonight, remember to take it with you."

Roger nodded, turned and left.

The moment he passed by Eureka, Roger opened his hand calmly, expecting a brief touch, but to his disappointment, Eureka seemed to have no response to it.

Roger had no choice but to raise his hand, grabbing his bow tie and shaking it casually. He pretended to be unintentional and turned around, turning his attention to Eureka at the edge of his vision. greet.

Roger looked away, trying to suppress his unhappiness.

It's nothing, it's just a trick of the little woman trying to get him... Roger's face smiled again, he knew that all these moments ignored and teased by Eureka would be compensated after meeting tonight.

All the hunger and thirst at this moment will multiply the happiness of tonight.

……

However, things don't seem to be going as smoothly as expected.

At midnight, Roger sat restlessly in his car.

The ship he was going to take set sail at seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Considering that he might not be able to make it back to the viscount's manor tomorrow morning, he had packed his ticket and some luggage in advance when he set off, and put these things in his trunk.

However, Roger didn't realize a very serious problem until he was driving on the road - he was excited all day, but forgot that he didn't ask Eureka the specific meeting time and meeting place.

He arrived here around eight o'clock, and it's approaching midnight now... Roger is a bit reluctant to drive back to Roger, but just continue to wait two streets away from the Duke's mansion?

He punched the steering wheel hard - he didn't even have Eureka's number yet!
At this moment, the mobile phone rang, and an unfamiliar number sent a greeting: "Are you there?"

Roger's eyes lit up, and he immediately called back the number, but what was waiting for him was only a busy signal, which he tried several times, so he had to try to reply to the text message:

"Eureka, is that you?"

From a high place, Hesta was overlooking the car where Roger was, and she saw a faint cold light in the car, which was Roger replying to the text message.

Soon, Roger received a new message: "Of course it's me, dear Mr. Gray, I'm watching you."

At this moment, an indescribable tremor passed through Roger's body like an electric current, and he couldn't tell whether it was pleasure or fear.

"Where are you?"

"Get out of the car and walk forward."

Roger got out of the car quickly, and Hesta continued to guide him, letting him bypass the patrolling guards in the Duke's mansion. When he climbed over the low brick wall a few times, Roger fell to the ground in embarrassment. The wet mud stained his new shoes and trousers, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow Hesta's instructions.

Finally, he came to the side of Roang Palace.

Since Villefort has never repaired the appearance of Roon, this huge building is not very eye-catching. Although Roger is quite curious about the furnishings in this palace, he has never seen it up close.

The cold night wind blows, and Roger suddenly wakes up.

He looked around timidly. After nightfall, every plant, tree, brick and stone here seemed to come to life. Their lines, shadows, and the subtle sound of the wind blowing through the window...all seemed so eerie And indifferent.
