It was said that Mr. Enrique was an affectionate person. He and his wife had known each other many years ago. So many years had passed, and they finally got together and married. Now, Mrs. Teresa had gone. It was really sad.
"Let me tell you a story."
It seemed that Enrique was talking to everyone present, or he was murmuring to himself, or he just wanted to tell his wife something.
"More than thirty years ago. There was a girl named Nadia. She is beautiful, smart and elegant, just like a lily."
Albert, Harris, Gavin were all stunned. They looked at Enrique with different eyes. Did Enrique know something?
"Enrique."
Albert stopped him, but Enrique acted as if he hadn't heard what Albert had said. Albert, Harris and Gavin had an illusion that Enrique was in a state of madness.
"Nadia is very beautiful, just like a fairy walking down from a painting. At that time, there were three merchants who had just started their business. They fell in love with Nadia who lived in the beauty manor at first sight."
"Enough! Stop!"
There was anger in Harris's voice.
"Why not? I think it's a beautiful story, isn't it? At that time, the three of them would always wander around outside the manor every day."
Enrique said a long story. In the story, Nadia was an elegant woman, and the three young people in the story were, of course, Albert, Harris and Ives.
Back then, in order to get close to Nadia, they thought of every kind of mean. Finally, the opportunity came. That day, it was raining heavily. The three of them went for a walk nearby as usual. Because of the rain, they knew Nadia.
Nadia was very gentle and made ginger soup for them. The countryside manor was the manor of Nadia's grandfather. Later they knew that Nadia's father was a more successful businessman at that time, selling jewelry.
This could also be considered as the foundation for the company of Harris and Albert. Since they met in the rain that day, they almost met Nadia every day.
Just when the three of them were jealous of each other, a young man came to the manor. He was Nadia's childhood sweetheart. His family was kind of rich.
Compared with the Nadia's family, it was nothing. However, at that time, the three of them did not take the young man seriously, but continued to secretly compete.
When the three of them came to their senses, Nadia and the young man had been engaged. After knowing about it, the three of them never went to see Nadia again.
Many years after Harris and Albert got married and had their own children, Nadia sent them the wedding invitation. The three of them went there, but no one expected that the newly married Nadia was raped that day.
This matter didn't get out. It was for the reputation of Nadia and their family. Nadia had thought that she would be happy. However, although her husband still loved her after their marriage, it was a conservative time. Everyone was conservative, especially the mother of Nadia's husband.
She always made things difficult for Nadia. It was not until Nadia was pregnant that her mother-in-law treated her better. However, before the baby was born, a fire broke out in Nadia's parents' house. It was late at night. All the property, including Nadia's parents and their servants, died in that accident.
