Chapter 976
It's simply too much!
Irena's behavior is simply to want benefits but not to take responsibility. It's too much. If you are a little bit thick-skinned, you can't say such words. Luke will think that he is deliberately disgusting him.
The curse words were held in his mouth, but Luke didn't say them in the end, because he calmed down a little, thought about it a little, and suddenly felt that this proposal was not really unacceptable.
After all, Irena's value is here. Agreeing to the other party's request can be said to tie the other party to the Duke's Mansion, and it will be more convenient to do anything to win over in the future.
In the final analysis, the Duke's real goal is to revitalize the entire empire. If he can get the help of Irena, a powerful existence, this goal may be achieved as soon as possible.
Of course, there is also the possibility that Irena is just joking. Luke knows very well that such a man will definitely not be willing to stay in one place and live a stable life. His ideal is definitely much bigger than imagined.
Luke has always had a good eye for people, and Joey is the talent he has found, but he still knows too little about Elaina.
It is true that Elaina is a little competitive, but it does not mean that his ideals are so ambitious. On the contrary, he is actually a simple person, and it is good enough as long as he can live a simple life.
After all, he has lived a tense and exciting life in his previous life. It is naturally good to be able to live a relaxed life now.
The reason why Elaina is busy now and has no chance to live a leisurely life is simply because there are too many difficulties and dangers waiting for him. If he does not deal with these things that must be done, Elaina can't rest at all.
"Okay, I hope you can keep your promise. If something happens in the Duke's Mansion, I will order you back without any burden."
Luke said with gritted teeth. For him, this is a gamble. If he can bet right, the future will be easy, but if he bets wrong, he will be unlucky.
Serita was stunned. She didn't expect her father to agree to such a condition. To be honest, she thought that Elena was just venting her anger. After all, the condition was too much.
The Duke's title was the result of many years of operation. Elena said that she wanted to take it away without paying any actual price. Serita felt that it was too much.
What he didn't expect was that his stubborn old father actually agreed. Although his expression looked very reluctant, he really accepted it. This situation was no less than cutting off a piece of his meat.
Even Elena showed an unexpected expression. He himself was indeed holding the idea of giving it a try, and didn't really want the other party to agree.
As a result, Luke was more tolerant than he thought. He dared to make a decision in the face of this situation and tried to gamble with the fate of the entire Duke's family.
"Then happy cooperation."
A gentleman's words are hard to go back on. Since Elena has already said so, he can't say it's just a joke in this case.
Since the other party is willing, there is nothing for him to refuse. Anyway, these things are not a loss for him.
It is said that he will help the Duke one day in the future, but when that time comes, Elena will probably have solved the things at hand. At that time, Elena is very happy to help.
Serita's expression is a bit complicated. She looked at the two people shaking hands with each other. She always felt that things were not real.
Originally, her biological father was trying his best to reject the proposal of "freedom", but the next second, Elena's verbal agreement broke the deadlock.
It would be a lie to say that she was unhappy. After all, she didn't have to stay in the Duke's Mansion and live a heavy and boring life every day, and she didn't have to worry about her father looking for the so-called engagement partner one day in the future.
But all this made Serita feel very unreal. Freedom came a little too easily in a sense, so that she now felt like she was dreaming.
But the fact is that she has nothing to worry about. Being able to leave with Elena and stay with everyone, there is nothing more worthy of her happiness than this.
After chatting for so long, the night gradually deepened. Serita and Elaina no longer disturbed Luke's work, and the two left the room side by side.
"Serita... I know you don't want to believe what I said, but there is one thing I still hope you can understand. No matter how unqualified I am as a father, my love for you, my daughter, has never diminished since the beginning.
And you have grown a lot compared to before, and you have become so strong in places I can't see. You are my pride, and I really do so.I feel that way. "
But just as Serita stepped out of the room, Duke Luke suddenly said something. His tone sounded so sincere, his eyes looked so loving, and his love for his daughter looked so real.
Serita didn't say anything, just nodded with her back to Luke, and then left here directly.
In the corridor, Elena looked at Serita. The other party was far from being as calm as she seemed on the surface. Hearing the words she had longed for since childhood, it moved her much more than she imagined.
Although Serita had not expressed anything, her eyes had already been wet. If she hadn't been holding back tears, tears would have fallen from her eyes long ago.
"Congratulations, you finally fulfilled your wish."
Elena also congratulated her at the right time. After all, what Serita most wanted when they first met was to get the recognition of her father. Now that all this has been achieved, it is naturally worth celebrating.
"Elena... can you accompany me tonight? "
Selita was very touched and excited, but she felt inexplicably lonely when she thought about leaving the home she had finally returned to.
She looked up at Elena, her eyes filled with a certain desire. In a sense, Elena had become someone from the Duke's Mansion, which meant she had become one of the most important people in Selita's life. With this understanding, Selita began to desire a deeper contact.
"Of course."
Elena was stunned for a moment, but soon showed a gentle smile. Facing such a Selita, he had no reason to refuse.
In addition, he had long been accustomed to this kind of thing. Since Selita was willing, he didn't mind giving her the special warmth from the night.
After making an agreement, the two walked hand in hand to Selita's room. This night was destined to be very long, and Selita experienced many things she had never experienced before.
