She told me that she didn’t care about anyone. Valentine said that she hated the thought of getting married. She would rather live a restrained and independent life forever. She almost hoped that her father would go bankrupt. In that case, she might become an artist like her friend, Miss Rosie Millay.
Ah, look
Well, what did you think? Valentine asked.

Nothing Maximilian replied with a smile.
Then why are you laughing?
Hey, you’ve been staring at me.
Do you want me to go?
Ah, no, no, let’s talk about you
By the way, we have ten minutes left when we are together at most.
God, Maximilian said with great disappointment, Valentine said in a melancholy tone that I am just a poor friend to you. Poor Maximilian, you are destined to enjoy it, but what kind of life do you lead? I often blame myself, I promise you.
Oh, well, Valentine, I don’t have to do it if I want to. I even want to spend five minutes with you or listen to a few words from your mouth, although this long-term unresolved situation is very painful to me. I am also convinced that since the emperor has created two harmonious hearts like ours, it almost miraculously connects these two hearts, and it will not finally separate us.
These words are really good. I thank you. We are both hopeful, Maximilian. This will make me happier.
Valentine, what’s the matter with you leaving me in such a hurry?
I don’t know. Madame de Villefort sent someone to say that she wants to talk to me, and this conversation involves some of my property. Tell them to take my property. I am already too rich. Maybe I can live quietly after they take it away. I am poor. You will still love me like this, won’t you, Maximilian?
Oh, I will always love you and want Valentine by my side, and I can really feel that no one can take her away from me again. What does it matter to me? But aren’t you worried that this conversation may lead to your marriage?
I don’t think so
Now listen to me, Valentine has nothing to fear, because I will never love anyone but you if I want to live.
Are you saying this to make me feel practical, Maximilian?
Trust me, you’re right. I’m so stupid. I want to tell you that I met Mr. Morcerf that day.
hum
You know that Mr Franz is his friend.
So what?
M. de Morcerf received a letter from Franz saying that he would come back soon.
Valentine’s face turned white, and she leaned against the door to prevent falling. Can this be true? Is that why Madame de Villefort called me? No, this kind of news doesn’t seem to require her to inform me.
What won’t?
Because I don’t know anything, but it seems that Madame de Villefort is secretly opposed to this marriage, although she has not publicly expressed her opposition.
Really? Then I think I should worship Madame de Villefort.
Don’t be so busy worshipping her, Valentine said with a melancholy smile.
She’s against your marrying Mr. Epinay. She’s probably willing to have another marriage.
Don’t think like that. Madame Maximilian de Villefort is not critical of men. She is against marriage at all.
Oppose marriage. She hates marriage so much. Why should she get married?
You don’t know what I mean. Maximilian, about a year ago, I talked about going to the monastery. Although Madame de Villefort said a lot, she secretly agreed with the suggestion. My father encouraged me and agreed to it. It was my poor grandfather who finally gave up the plan. You can’t imagine the expression in his eyes when the old man looked at me. He loved me alone in this world, and I dare to say that I loved him alone. When he heard that I decided, I would always love him. I can’t forget his reproachful eyes, which made his stiff cheeks look like tears of despair. Maximilian, how regretful I was at that time. I knelt at his feet and shouted, Forgive me, forgive me. No matter how they treated me, my dear grandfather will never leave you. After I finished, he looked up gratefully without saying a word. Maximilian, I probably had to suffer a lot, but I think my grandfather’s eyes were enough to make up for all the regrets.
Lovely Valentine, you are a god. I really don’t know that an Arab businessman like me who travels east and west in the desert to suppress and kill Arabs unless the emperor really recognizes them as damned heretics. I don’t know what I deserve from the emperor’s preferential treatment. He entrusted you to me, but told me what good it would do Madame de Villefort if you didn’t get married.
Didn’t I tell you that I am very rich? Maximilian, I can inherit about 50,000 livres from my mother, and my grandfather and grandmother can also give me the same amount of money, and Mr. Noirtier obviously wants to make me his heir. My brother Edward’s mother has nothing to bequeath to him. Well, Madame de Villefort loves that child like a piece of heart. I became a nun and my property will go to my father. He can inherit the marquis and his wife, and my property will be transferred to his son through him.
Ah, it’s incredible that such a beautiful young woman should be so greedy.
She is not herself, but her son. You think it is a sin, but from the perspective of maternal love, it is still a virtue.
But can’t you compromise and give her a part of your property?
How can I make such a suggestion, especially for a woman who always thinks that she is not interested in money?
Valentine, I have always regarded our love as a sacred thing. I wrapped it with a respectful curtain and hid it in the deepest part of my soul. No one knows what it is, and my sister doesn’t know Valentine. Will you allow me to tell a friend that I love you and make a deal with him?
Valentine was taken aback by a friend Maximilian. Who is this friend? I’m a little worried.
Listen to me, Valentine, you have never felt a strong sympathy in that person. Although it is the first time to meet him, you feel as if he has known him for a long time. You will keep asking in your mind when and where you met him before, but although you can’t remember the time and place, you still believe that you must have had such an experience before, and this kind of sympathy is just an old thing coming back to your mind.
that’s it
Well, when I first saw that weirdo, I felt that way in my heart
Weird guy, you say
be
So have you known him for a long time?
