She took a look at the sofa not far away, walked slowly to the side of the sofa and sat down.

The housekeeper who left the room stood guard at the door for a while. Seeing that Janet hadn't been calling him, he really turned around and left, but instead of coming back to his room to rest, he went to the other direction of Janet's room.

As an adult who has taken over the family business for more than ten years, the count has enough ability to deal with everything. It can be said that he is at ease, but that doesn't mean he can be relaxed every day.

Even if he arranges the less important things under his hand for others to do, the things in his own hands will not lose much, and he often needs to deal with more by himself.

Just like now, it's 12 o'clock in the night of F country, but he still has a thick document on hand.

This is not his work of the day. In fact, almost all of them were sent by the assistant an hour ago. Now only one third of them are left, which is enough to show the efficiency of the count's work.

In the study, there was only the rustling sound of pen on the paper. By the bright and warm light with some sunshine, the count focused on his business.

At this moment, the count was less serious than usual, but more serious. Under the light, it seemed that the whole person was shining, which made people unable to move their eyes.

However, such an atmosphere stops outside the door, suddenly rings gently, but cannot ignore the knock.

The knock on the door stopped three times, but it was enough to break the silence in the room, and it was enough to stop writing with the count who was absorbed in his work.

Unexpectedly, the count, who was always serious, didn't mean to be angry. On the contrary, there was a little doubt in his eyes. He didn't seem to understand anything, but he didn't doubt and think for long. "Come in."

When he said these two words, the nib that he had stopped moved again, as if he didn't worry about the visitor.

There was a "click" outside the door, and the door was opened instantly. A few minutes ago, the old housekeeper who was still at Janet's came in with bright eyes in black uniform.

As soon as he came in, he closed the door subconsciously.

Some gray hair in the bright light flashing broken light, eyes with some fine wrinkles, this is a very serious look, but not lose the affinity of the elderly.

He stopped half an arm from the door, just as he had been to Janet before, as if to report something very important. His tone was respectful and serious

As if he had been expected, the count was no longer surprised or puzzled as before. He didn't even stop at the end of his pen. He asked, "why don't you come to see me so late, and why don't you rest? Is there anything important?"

His tone is not unfamiliar, but with some younger meaning, it does not seem as cold and serious as usual.

The housekeeper was so serious that even the fine lines in the corners of his eyes were smoothed out. Suddenly, a smile appeared on his face. When he looked at the count who was still dealing with things, his eyes were mild, and he looked at his younger generation's kindness. "You always talk about me, but I don't think you have any rest, do you?"

The count Yu Guang glanced at the document on his left hand and said, "this is the last point of work today. It will be over soon."

His beautiful flowery characters fell on the paper, as if printed on a printer, leaving beautiful words on the document.

"I know you always say that."

The housekeeper sighed with emotion. "If only miss Janet could have your strong self-control."

The count's hand suddenly gave a meal, and he was upset for a moment. His previous smooth thought was broken. He looked at the few papers, put down his pen, crossed his hands, and frowned at the housekeeper. "What do you think?"

He knew how loyal the old housekeeper who had watched him grow up was to the Durand family. He also knew that the housekeeper was a man of great propriety.

If there was nothing particularly important and urgent, he would not disturb him at such an inappropriate time.

Now that he's here, it means that something more important has happened. Now, from the housekeeper's words, he knows that it's about Janet, which makes the Earl who was calm and immersed in his work feel uncertain.

The housekeeper looked at the worry in the count's eyes and explained in a low voice, "count, I don't know if you have noticed, Miss Janet. It seems that you have paid too much attention to miss Mabel..."

He knew why the count would agree to an unrelated Z to stay in Durand castle, only because of his love for Janet and the fact that she was young but couldn't let her live like her peers. On the contrary, he had to keep learning a lot of things to agree with Janet's absurd things.

But that doesn't mean Janet doesn't need to be careful.

On the contrary, the more this situation is, the more things we need to pay attention to.

It's not that they don't allow friends in the Durand family. It's just that the friend's decision can't affect her own judgment. However, Miss Mabel, who originally didn't care but thought that she was a new and old Miss Janet and was interested in toys for a short time, has seriously affected miss Janet's decision-making.

It was decided not to happen.

Especially when Janet was so outstanding that she almost inherited the Durand family, but finally left behind her biological father for a woman, he paid more attention to Janet's problems than others.

From the housekeeper's point of view, the outsider is always an outsider who can put in feelings, but he should keep sober enough so that he can get out at any time. It is obvious that Miss Janet's previous situation is that she can no longer keep in touch with Miss Mabel.

For the sake of the Durand family, for the sake of Miss Janet, whom the count had taught, the housekeeper finally decided to be a villain and tell the story when there was still room for recovery.

The count, when the housekeeper mentioned Janet, had expected that it might be related to Mabel.

After all, it seems Janet spent most of her time with Julie and Mabel besides studying.
