Although not all of her guesses were right, most of them were.
Was she being guided by fate?
Thinking of this, he sighed and became more and more silent. He continued to smoke quietly.
Natalia looked at him for a long time. The silent old man looked more depressed, with his back bent. In fact, he looked a little pitiful.
After sitting for a while, she stood up.
"It's late at night. I won't bother you. Mr.Quill, please think it over. I know you're not a bad person. Even if you don't want to be kind, it's not respectable to ignore the people who ask you for help. You won't do it, will you? Besides, we were introduced by your old friend. I know you have unspeakable reasons, so I don't want to force you. I just hope that you can think it over and come to us again if you have the choice. If you need any help, just let us know. We won't refuse."
As she spoke, she slightly bowed to him, turned around, and left.
Then she went out of the dim room.
While smoking, Mr.Quill watched her leave. His turbid eyes gradually turned red.
After a long while, he laughed with self-mockery.
"Teresa, look. She is as smart as you. What a pity!"
He sighed and shook his head. Finally, he stood up and walked to the bedroom.
Natalia and Archie rented a farmhouse in the village and lived there for one night.
It was late at night and they had no place to go. Before they came here, they had thought that this matter could be solved in a day and they would go back before evening. So they didn't plan to stay here, nor did they bring any luggage.
But now, they found that things were not as simple as they had thought. There were no hotels in the countryside.
Fortunately, the people here knew that they were rich guys from the city. As long as they were willing to pay, the people here were willing to let them sleep in their houses, but the living conditions were a little poor.
But now that they had no other choice, they had to endure.
After they washed, they finally fell asleep.
The next morning, when Natalia woke up, it was only seven o'clock.
There were a lot of chickens in the countryside. They began to crow at four or five o'clock in the morning. She was not used to it, so she was woken up several times. Later, Archie covered her ears and she finally could sleep for a few hours.
When she woke up, she still felt dizzy.
Queeny and Felix were not better than her.
Felix was fooled by Mr.Quill yesterday and didn't sleep well last night. When he got up early in the morning, he looked more depressed, and his face was cold all the time.
With a smile, Natalia walked over to them with breakfast in her hands. Sitting opposite Felix and Queeny, she joked, "Oh, if I hadn't seen the weather outside, I would have thought that winter had come because it's so cold here."
Queeny knew what she was talking about. She smiled and winked at her.
Natalia understood what she meant, but she didn't care much about it. Instead, she wanted to tease Felix more.
"Hey, I have a question. What are you going to do if Mr.Quill refuses to give us the piece today?"
While eating breakfast, Felix said coldly, "Tie him up and search his house directly!"
Natalia raised her eyebrows.
She clapped her hands and said, "Good idea. Yes, that's really a good idea. He lives in such a small house. He must be keeping the thing with him or at home. As long as we patiently search, we can find it out sooner or later. Felix, you are so smart. Only you can figure out this bandit's method. A businessman like us naturally can't come up with such a good idea..."
