uh, I’m not sure if you could remind me, when we first met, what was it that left a deep impression on you about me?

I’m usually quite confident, but I remember that day, I was merely introduced to you and simply greeted you.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs.

Copper covered her striking red lips gently with her black lace gloved hand: “Mr.

Carter, the first time I saw you was not then.”

“Oh?” Eld was puzzled, “Wasn’t that our first meeting?”

“Of course not.” Mrs.

Copper flatly denied, “The first time I saw you, you were still in swaddling clothes.

Your mother let me hold you and told me that I would have my turn one day.

I wanted to feel what it was like to be a mother early, but I didn’t expect that you, this little thing, would directly pee on me and even wet my new dress.”

Upon hearing this, Eld felt as if God had dumped a bucket of cold water over his head.

He took a deep breath, his face reddening as he struggled to speak, “I…

you…”

Seeing this, Arthur quickly took off his hat, interjecting to relieve him, “Madam, perhaps you should go in first, Mrs.

Cordington and the others are all waiting inside for you.”

At those words, Mrs.

Copper merely winked at Eld, teasingly reassuring him, “Mr.

Carter, don’t mind it, I know it wasn’t intentional that time.

I promise I’ll keep this secret, and I absolutely won’t bring it up before the ladies to impair your social reputation.”

Eld, feeling immensely relieved, let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and bowed slightly, “Thank God, thank you for your kindness, you truly are an angel sent by God to rescue me.”

Mrs.

Copper pursed her lips slightly and took her leave, “Mr.

Carter, there may be many angels tonight, but whether you can grab hold of them is up to you.

Your mother and aunt have previously complained to me, saying you’ve only been in the Royal Navy for half a year and have already picked up a host of bad habits.

If you really want to find a suitable companion, you’d best modify your manner of speech.”

Upon hearing this, Eld, whose face had been as red as an apple, instantly turned pale as death.

He watched Mrs.

Copper enter the mansion with the aid of a manservant, and his gaze towards her had completely changed.

Eld muttered under his breath, cursing, “Damn!

Why does my mom have to blab about everything!

With her spilling my secrets like this, how am I supposed to get by in London?”

Saying this, Eld felt uneasy all over.

He reached into his waist pouch, thinking of lighting a cigarette to ease his nerves, but after fumbling for a while, his expression suddenly changed, and he cursed loudly, “Damn!”

Arthur turned to him, “What’s wrong?”

Eld’s eyes widened, “I’ve lost my wallet!”

“Huh?

No way,” Arthur said, quickly feeling his own pockets.

Fortunately, his wallet was still there, but at the same time, he also felt a small note.

The note was scrawled with a line—To the one who gifts me, may you avoid misfortune; to the one who does not, fate will catch up.

At this, Arthur realized whose hands Eld’s wallet had ended up in.

He sighed, “Eld, you see, if you hadn’t refused to give change to someone, you probably wouldn’t have so many problems now.”

Eld’s face went pale, “I…

damn!

Losing the money is one thing, but…

but the worst part is I had the supply requisition form for the next sea training in my wallet!

Without that document, Colonel Fitzroy will likely skin me, and the brothers on the ship will probably throw me into the sea.

Arthur, Arthur!

Aren’t you a police officer?

You need to come up with a solution quickly to help me retrieve that!”

Hearing this, Arthur couldn’t help but pat him on the chest, “Eld, look at you…

Well, let’s go inside first, I’ll think of a way to find your wallet later.”
