Reborn As a Pirate - v2 Chapter 709
Compared to Lorraine, Shaq is obviously the one in the Drake family that is more adapted to the inherent rules.
Experts can always use the rope tied to his body as a whip to dance, and Shaq does the same. It seems that as long as he wants, he can draw Lorraine where he wants Lorraine to go.
For example… meet.
In Bermuda, he kidnapped the old Leonard; later in the Atlantic, he drove out Lorraine’s employer.
Since Lorraine became a monk in 1776, the two Drakes have met twice. Lorraine didn’t want to go every time. At the end of each time, Lorraine took the initiative to visit.
This time is no exception.
Baroness Ann Drake wanted to entertain Lorraine’s female companion on the Lion, but Lorraine had no reason or position to refuse.
Not only could he not refuse, as someone who also had the surname of Drake, he had to act as a guide for etiquette. He was the first to step on the deck of the Lion before Henna, Carmen and Noya.
Lorraine can bet that this must be Shaq Francis Drake’s Melaleuca routine again.
At 7:50 in the evening, Lorraine, in a full-length dress, was the first to leave the evening scent. Behind him, Carmen wore the simplest dark green skirt in the cabin, Hina wore the most luxurious purple dress, and Noya chose his favorite dark blue formal dress.
The suitable attire for the lady to attend the dinner is dark and cool. Under such a harsh premise, the atmosphere between the three people is strange, but at least the tacit understanding is extraordinary.
Get off the boat, get on the carriage, turn along the plank road, get off the carriage, and get on the boat.
Pretending to walk through the entire process of banqueting, Lorraine saw the dignified and gentle little woman on the stairs of the stern tower.
“You must be Lorraine.” She greeted her with a soft voice, a gentle smile, and a slow and clear tone. “The first time I met, I was Ann.”
“Lorraine Anason Drake.” Lorraine leaned over to Ann’s ring and kissed lightly. “It’s nice to meet you, Baroness Tavistock.”
Ann’s brows visibly frowned, but she soon changed to a smile: “Michelangelo’s Madonna is like the most beautiful wedding gift I have received. I have always wanted to find a chance to thank you, and…”
She raised her head and swept behind Lorraine, looking at the daughter-in-law who was about to marry into the house like a kind mother-in-law.
“Carmen Xavier, who is Carmen Xavier who gave you a gift?”
Lorraine stepped back and gave up his position.
“Henna Yesra is an Egyptian, my first and most cherished companion, and the only comrade in arms in the world who is willing to entrust his back.” He introduced purple.
“Carmen Xavier, Spaniard, my intelligence, my keys, my wealth and life are all in her hands.” He introduced Green.
“Noah Sara, the wandering Roma girl, the child I love and cherish the most. But I have never done anything for her. On the contrary, she is my harbor. Every time I feel exhausted, it is her. Provide me with spiritual comfort.” He introduced blue.
The three girls exchanged greetings with Ann briefly, and then stood aside cautiously or nonchalantly, even Carmen.
Ann took Noah’s hand and said to Lorraine: “Lorraine, the next thing is a private message from the girl. I think a competent gentleman must want to go farther to pass the time.”
“I will wait in the carriage under the boat.”
“No, no, no need to be like that. I asked someone to prepare tea and snacks on the bow deck. The night view of Waijust is very good. You can go there to kill time.”
Sure enough…
Lorraine couldn’t refuse the gentle sister-in-law’s request to meet for the first time, and only silently nodded in response for a short while.
“I will go there, thank you for your kindness.”
Ann laughed happily: “It’s a nice meeting tonight. I have a hunch, beautiful girls.”
…
Shaq was on the bow, which seemed a matter of course.
Lorraine had no surprises about seeing her master Shaq Drake on Drake’s boat. The only surprise was that there was a little Drake sitting on Shaq’s lap.
Seeing Lorraine stepping up the stairs, little Drake leaped forward with a cheer.
He was about two years old, his blond hair and sea-blue eyes were the same as Shaq, and his soft facial contour was inherited from Ann, and he looked awkward and arousing affection.
“Uncle Lorraine!” He screamed and rushed forward, grabbing Lorraine’s legs like a pendant and wiping his saliva, not the least fearful that a child should have.
Lorraine moved his legs carefully, trying not to disturb him, his clumsiness made the child giggle.
Finally moved to the position of the chair, Lorraine sat down and looked at Shaq with the eyes of a caring lunatic.
“Participate in the banquet? My respected master, for a boring banquet that the American hillbilly praised, you brought not only your wife, but also your son?”
“Freemason.” Shaq spit out a word, “The Philadelphia Ceremony smashed a group of mobs in the name of fake Freemasonry. Our Lord, the great King George III, felt that the London Ceremony should be on the right occasion. Express our congratulations and gratitude.”
“It just so happened that my original appointment time was half a month later, so I took advantage of it earlier. As soon as the banquet is over, I will leave for London. Chanel-Basque has a new owner. In a short time, I will not Go back again.”
“So that’s it.” Lorraine raised his head proudly, and touched the child’s head strangely. “What’s his name?”
“Les, Les Charlotte Drake.”
“Charlotte?”
“Remember that I told you that my marriage with Ann was not blessed by anyone?”
Perhaps it is because there are family members as a buffer ~www.mtlnovel.com~Lorraine and Shaq seem to be particularly soft today.
“That was wrong. I later learned that it was Queen Charlotte who gave Ann the courage to elope with me. In the years since we came to the New World, that distinguished lady has been easing the relationship between our two families.”
“Ann’s father, Earl Zafilan has withdrawn his decision to evict Ann from the house. This time, when he returns to London, he can visit his mother and brother. I may also ask the Earl to have a cup of tea, if the opportunity is right. “
“Earl Zafilan…”
Lorraine felt that this surname seemed a bit familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he remembered that it was the largest landlord in Britain, and the Zafilan family, who was the world’s top chaebol only by rent.
“It must be admitted that Aby is so simple and modest I imagined.” Lorraine said sincerely.
“The rich man is Ann’s father, not Ann.” Shaq waved and called Little Les back and held him in his arms. “And in the eyes of others, it is only a matter of time before Drake is richer than Zafilan. .”
“In fact, it’s still far away.” Lorraine replied simply, “Even if the wealth of Zafilan’s family does not increase, it will take me 5 to 10 years to accumulate considerable wealth.”
“Rely on printing bonds for the hillbillies?”
“In fact, it is hype the bonds of the hillbillies. It creates the illusion of economic prosperity, conceals the hidden worries of rapid development, and makes some idiots believe that the United States will become one of the most powerful countries in the world in 1840. Buy one pound worth of torn paper for three pounds or more, etc…”
“Probably this is the process, but you are definitely not interested. Those things are just to tell you, and you don’t understand a little bit.”
“I may have been learning.” Shaq said lightly. “You can tell me.”
