Dear Enemy

Chapter 30 Banquet

Ulysses tells Melt about Oliver's principal's banquet invitation, and Melt readily agrees.

As the junior who came to visit for the first time, he specially prepared some small gifts.This made Ulysses feel a little regretful again. He never seemed to bring a gift when he went to Melter's house.

This is the disadvantage of having no elders. No matter how smart Ulysses is, he still doesn't understand these twists and turns.Luckily Mrs. Suzanne was so kind that she never found fault with him.

On the evening of the banquet, Melt drove to the mansion of Principal Oliver, and Ulysses was already waiting in the parking lot.

Melt in formal attire is radiant and charming.Ulysses was slightly taken aback.

Seeing that there was no one around, Melt immediately showed his true colors, and "Bobo" pounced on him and kissed him on both sides of the face, very symmetrically: "Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Ulysses coughed all over to hide his shyness: "It's not long, you came early, and there are still many guests who haven't arrived."

Melt said with a smile: "Others are big bosses in the military department, but I'm just a junior. Of course, I have to arrive early, otherwise it will be rude!"

The two held hands and walked in together.Melt also brought a bouquet of flowers and a box of handmade desserts. This is a small gift for Grandma Victoria. I believe no woman can hate flowers and desserts.

Sure enough, when Mrs. Victoria received these small gifts, she looked very happy: "Oh, you are so considerate, Melt."

Although she is more than 200 years old, her face is rosy and her spirits are quite good.Unlike most of the awakened people who work in the military, although Mrs. Victoria has a name in the military, she actually works as a biological scientist and is currently the dean of the scientific research institute of Sapphire Star.

The research projects she specializes in are basically related to the spiritual body of the awakened.

When Melt wanted to please someone, no one could refuse his charm, including Mrs. Victoria.She quickly took him around kindly, introduced him to the visiting guests, and called him: "My child."

At the beginning of the banquet, Melt met the protagonist Lieutenant General Ferdinand Morgan. He was indeed as heroic as he was on TV, with bold words and a very good relationship with every senior military officer who came to the banquet.

Behind him was a beautiful woman with elegant posture. Although she didn't talk much, she had an excellent temperament.Ulysses whispered in his ear, "That's my aunt, Mrs. Jenny."

Melt nodded silently. He didn't understand why Mrs. Victoria and Ulysses didn't introduce him to Mrs. Jenny, but he was sure that it was not because of him, but because of Mrs. Jenny.

Throughout the banquet, Melt failed to say a word to Mrs. Jenny, and even Lieutenant General Ferdinand only gave a simple greeting.After Ulysses introduced his partner, the high-ranking lieutenant general looked at him carefully, patted Ulysses on the shoulder, said a few words of encouragement, and left them , to greet other heavyweight bosses.

Melt's mind is so clear that he can immediately see the internal contradictions of this family.

Principal Oliver and Mrs. Victoria are also relatively indifferent towards their own sons. On the contrary, they always talk and laugh at their daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jenny, but they have a warm and polite manner that is superficial.

On the contrary, Ulysses felt a little sorry, lowered his voice, and explained: "Don't worry, my relationship with Uncle Ferdinand is not harmonious. That man, to the outside world, is indeed a wise leader with great military achievements, but to the family As far as… it’s not that bad.”

After thinking about it for a while, and combining some gossip reports he had read before, he understood what he meant: "You are referring to Lieutenant General Ferdinand's eldest son, Major Henry's matter, indeed...he died at such a young age. , it is deplorable!"

The Morgan family is also a well-known sentinel family, and their family's deeds are widely circulated in the military. General Ferdinand has always had an iron-blooded education policy for his two sentinel sons, and never let them stay in the comfortable rear to mix their seniority. Send them wherever they are in danger!

In the battle to wipe out the "Black Pearl Star Bandits" eight years ago, Lieutenant General Pei Dinan's eldest son, Major Henry, and his guide's wife died heroically at the age of 76, leaving no heirs.

It is said that after that, Lieutenant General Ferdinand and his guide's wife, Mrs. Jenny, broke up and separated.Among ordinary people, these two people are already divorced.

In the past, Melt had always treated these things as irrelevant gossip, but in the future, he might be very relevant.

He asked, "Are Lieutenant General Pei Dinan and Mrs. Jenny really separated?"

Ulysses nodded.

Melt sighed: "This is the family of heroes..."

Mrs. Jenny must have resented her husband for pushing her own son to the front line, causing him to die young, but in these public occasions, she still cooperates with her husband to act as a loving couple, and she can be regarded as a good woman who takes care of the overall situation.

Ulysses sighed: "Cousin Henry took good care of me when I was young, and I have always treasured his photos. I will never be able to understand Uncle Ferdinand's thoughts in my life..."

Melt hooked his fingers quietly, expressing comfort to him with actions.

They are not afraid of war, sacrifice, and will not shirk their responsibilities, but it is difficult to sacrifice everything for the Emerald Starfield, including their own son, like Lieutenant General Pei Dinan.

At the banquet, Melt also accidentally met Admiral Douglas and Mrs. Finneland. After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, Mrs. Finneland heard that Melt was already with the nephew of the Morgan family, and sighed to Mrs. Victoria: " I have always admired the child Melt, and your child is lucky!"

Mrs. Victoria said: "Where is it? We adults can't control the affairs of the younger generation. It all depends on fate."

But don't mention how proud you are.

At the end of the banquet, Mrs. Victoria took Melt into the study and gave him a precious sapphire ring. From the pattern on it, it can be seen that it is a valuable antique.

"This is a gift from my sister Elizabeth. I believe she will be very happy. I will give it to you."

From her words, Melt knew the meaning of the ring, and quickly declined: "I can't accept such a valuable thing."

Mrs. Victoria smiled and said: "This is a gift from me for my sister. Although she is gone, she will be very happy to see you and Ulysses together, my child."

However, Melt finally accepted this commemorative ancient ring.

sentinel tower.

Ulysses looked at the two identical cream cakes in front of him, one was purchased from the "Mrs. Elena" dessert shop, and the other was made by himself.

He took a sip each and slowly frowned.No, still no.With his taste buds, he can still taste the subtle differences, what is missing?

Coming out of the kitchen, he went to the training ground and found George who was training against McKinsey: "There is something, can you do me a favor?"

George was flattered: "Chief, you can just order!"

Ulysses took out his personal terminal and transmitted Mrs. Elena's basic information to him: "This pastry chef, I hope I can get her private phone number?"

George immediately patted his chest and said, "Is it an ordinary person, leave it to me, this is too easy!"

Although his mouth is usually unreliable, George does have a hand in intelligence gathering. He is a well-known hacker on the Internet.

Only a day later, George gave Ulysses Mrs. Elena's contact information and home address.

That evening, Ulysses called Madame Elena's number.

"Hello, my dear lady."

On the other side of the screen, Madam Elena looked at the young man suspiciously: "Excuse me, do we know each other? How do you know my number?"

Ulysses didn't answer her question: "I don't mean any malice, ma'am. I've been watching your live broadcast to learn how to make desserts from you. However, I always feel that the taste seems a little bit off, so... I want to ask for advice You, what is your secret to making desserts?"

He put the dessert he made in front of the screen and briefly described the process of making it.

Madam Elena was stunned at first, but then realized Ulysses' serious attitude in studying desserts, and her face softened.

She patiently listened to his story, and laughed: "The secret? There is no secret. Choose the most exquisite ingredients and choose the most appropriate baking time, and you will naturally be able to make the best dessert!"

Ulysses pursed his lips: "You don't want to tell me?"

His tone was a bit rushed, but Mrs. Elena was not angry, and looked at the young man on the other side of the screen gently: "I can see that you are indeed learning how to make desserts with your heart, and judging by your skills, you are already quite promising Yes. But, I really don’t have any secrets to pass on to you... Well, if I have to say it, it’s the thoughtfulness for the one I love. As long as you have this kindness, no matter what you do, he will definitely be happy happy!"

Ulysses looked a little uncomfortable, he wondered if the old lady on the other side of the screen saw something: "Okay, goodbye then, please forgive my faux pas, madam."

Madam Elena shook her head, showing a playful smile: "Young man, you are welcome to contact me again, I like everyone who is serious about learning desserts."

After hanging up the phone, Ulysses threw the personal terminal on the bed.

He still didn't understand, what was missing?

However, the guide's taste buds are not as sensitive as the sentinel's. Melt may not be able to taste the subtle differences he can taste, and now he can only comfort himself in this way.

weekend.

It was an unusual weekend, and the atmosphere in the living room was rather dignified. The sentry and the guide sat face to face on the sofa, keeping their heads down in silence.

Melt looked at the two identical cream cakes in front of him seriously, like analyzing the structure of two time bombs, carefully distinguishing them.

Ulysses on the opposite side folded his arms and stared at him with a vicious look, whether he used cheating methods or not.

The two have maintained this state for a while, yes, today is the day to fulfill the bet made a year ago.Can Ulysses make desserts as delicious as Mrs. Elena's!

If Melt loses, get down on your knees and sing Conquer.When Ulysses lost, he put on women's clothing.

This pair of whistle-blowing lovers, neither of them wants to lose!

Finally, Melt made a move, gently picked up a small piece of cake on the left with a fork, put it into his mouth and tasted it carefully.After a while, he picked up a small piece of cake on the right and chewed it slowly.

After repeating it several times, his face became more serious.

It's unbelievable that he really can't tell the difference...

He glanced at Ulysses on the opposite side, as if he could see his hesitation, and the sentinel showed a bit of complacency on his face: "I said, as long as I want to do it, there is nothing I can't do!"

Melt put down the food fork, and said slowly: "Okay, I admit that I lost."

Ulysses opened his mouth, showing a smug smile, and raised his chin at him: "Are you ready to be punished, I'm waiting for you! Hurry up, don't delay!"

"What's the rush?" Melt slowly got up and walked into the bathroom, washed his face, tidied his silver hair, took a rose in a vase, folded off the branches and put it in the pocket on his left chest, "This is It's a big event, we must prepare well..."

With the usual thick skin of the guide, what kind of big deal is this?

Under Ulysses' strange eyes, Melt finally approached slowly, knelt on the ground on one knee, and held Ulysses' hand with a solemn expression.

"Your dessert has completely conquered my stomach and my heart. You are indeed the sentinel I have always dreamed of. Marry me, dear Yuri!"

After hearing his sincere confession, Ulysses froze for a moment, then jumped up.

His face turned red, and he gritted his teeth: "You bastard, is this what our bet is... Also, why do you always steal my lines? What will I say in the future!"

He pulled the nasty guide up and pressed him on the sofa, looking like he wanted to strangle him.

Melt looked innocent: "Those just now were just the previous testimonials, and the point has not yet been reached. The next step is to sing you the song Conquer..."

Seeing that he opened his mouth, as if he really wanted to continue singing, Ulysses growled: "Shut up, I don't want to listen now!"

He leaned down, kissed the hateful and alluring lips, tossed and grinded, wishing to swallow it in his stomach, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.

Melt snickered inwardly, stroking his arms all the way up his back, and finally wrapping his arms around his neck.
