Chapter 44: Heart-to-heart talk
Flora opened her eyes wide and was stunned. She took a deep breath and smiled: "I am very happy, but we are still in the couple's secret room. Your feelings for me...maybe all just illusions."
"That's right. Maybe this is just the effect of this room. Then at least let me know more about you. Tell me about your childhood!"
"I can talk forever as long as you are willing to listen. Let's eat first." Flora smiled gently.
"Well! Tell me about your mother." Su Ming asked casually.
Sure enough, the moment he asked this question, Flora's expression changed slightly.
But soon, she returned to her normal self and calmly began to talk about her mother.
“My mother was a very good person. Although she left me very early, I still think of her often.
Since I was very young, I have hoped that I could become a strong and outstanding person like my mother. She has always been my goal..."
As Su Ming listened, he recalled the clues in his mind.
Online information shows that Flora's mother died when she was ten years old.
Although her mother was not a well-known noble, she was considered a member of a long-established aristocratic family in the local area, and her status was comparable to that of Flora's father. Moreover, according to the description in the article, she was also an excellent psychic.
But in Su Ming's guess, Flora should be an illegitimate daughter.
If his guess was correct, then the deceased woman could not be Flora's mother.
Flora spoke slowly and Su Ming listened attentively, agreeing from time to time and occasionally expressing his own thoughts.
When Flora mentioned that she and her mother were taking a nap on the swing next to a small house in the back garden, Su Ming suddenly spoke:
"When I was a kid, my parents didn't have time to play with me because of family reasons. Your parents must be busier than mine, but they can still find time to spend with you. It's really rare."
Flora smiled and said, "Only occasionally. Dad is always busy, as is Mom. But they don't ignore me. At least before I started practicing, they were always by my side."
"That's great! This is the first time I've learned about the lives of nobles." Su Ming smiled, "What do you usually talk about at the table when you have dinner?"
"Hmm... well... there are many topics to talk about, and I can't say them all at once."
Flora still kept smiling, with her head slightly tilted, as if she was reminiscing.
Su Ming looked at the other person quietly, with an extremely expectant look in his eyes, making it impossible for the other person to avoid the topic.
"Sometimes, we talk about other families; sometimes, we talk about our own affairs." Flora said softly.
"Is this what you talked about when you were little? Aren't there any topics that children can understand? Otherwise, wouldn't it be boring for you and your brothers and sisters to eat?"
" Adults talk about adult things, and we children talk about children's things." She shrugged nonchalantly.
Su Ming narrowed his eyes slightly and noticed that Flora's attitude began to change.
If he guessed correctly, Flora's thinking ability was beginning to fail.
Su Ming said, "Although I am an only child, when I was a child, the children from the neighborhood often came to my house to play, so I think it's good to have brothers and sisters. But we often quarreled. Flora, you and your brothers and sisters must have quarreled too, right?"
"Well... yes, but there are more happy memories." Flora smiled with her head down.
"Hahaha, Flora...you really don't look like a noble."
Flora's expression froze and the smile on her face froze.
"Well... I, maybe it's because I've been undergoing top-secret training since I was a child, so I don't look like a noble, right?"
No, he couldn't possibly know that. He was just saying that I didn't have the airs of a nobleman, right? That must be the case, Flora thought.
"What I mean is that even though you are a noble, you don't know anything about noble affairs."
"Ah, this? This is probably..."
"It shouldn't be like this, right?" Su Ming interrupted in a low voice.
Su Ming put away his smile, and his aura was completely different from before.
Flora's face turned pale, like a prisoner about to be sentenced to death.
Su Ming continued, "If I'm not mistaken, Flora, you should be an illegitimate daughter, right? Or perhaps a similar identity."
Flora clenched her five fingers into fists under the table, forced a smile, and said in a hoarse voice: "You...you, are you kidding?"
Damn it!
My voice is shaking! Isn't this the same as confessing myself?
Su Ming knew.
He knows!
But how did he know this? Did anyone tell him?
Impossible, no one in the Osborn family would reveal her identity to others, and Lance didn't know her identity as an illegitimate daughter. He shouldn't know, so how did he know?
Is this inference? Did I do something wrong?
It was obvious that her every move and gesture had completely transformed her into that of an aristocrat. She was obviously more aristocratic than the aristocrats themselves, so how could there be any flaws?
Even in private, she was on edge, how could she be exposed? !
Looking at Flora's pale face, Su Ming confirmed his judgment.
Flora is by no means a true aristocrat. She is an illegitimate daughter of a noble who tries desperately to make a name for herself but is suppressed.
Su Ming also knew that this conclusion did not have a very rigorous deduction process. Rather than being a deduction, it was more like a rational imagination of contradictory information.
But Su Ming firmly believed that his idea was correct, because super intuition is a super S-level ability.
If super intuition can't even achieve this level of accuracy, then we might as well just change the name to super illusion.
"Looking at your expression, I guessed it right. In fact, I just confirmed my guess because the change in your answer pattern was so obvious."
"You, what are you talking about?" Flora said with all her might.
“At the beginning, I asked questions that were relatively easy to answer, so your answers were the answers plus your own feelings.
For example, when you were asked questions about your mother, it sounded very real, I guess because those things really happened?
Swinging is real, playing ball is real, but the person you are playing with is not the deceased 'mother', but your real mother.
You took what she did with you and applied it to the dead woman, so it sounded very real.
As for the subsequent topic of dinner and the relationship between siblings, you were only able to give vague answers. I guess when you are with your real family, you never talk about the nobility , so you have no memory to refer to.
Besides, you yourself have never interacted with the Osborn children, so you can't make up any so-called brotherhood.
Think about it yourself, is there a clear contrast between your answers before and after? At the beginning, it was very real, but later it became a monotonous question and answer. "
Flora's hands and feet were cold. She stared at Su Ming in front of her with great fear in her heart. The other party's eyes were extremely calm, as if he was a policeman interrogating a prisoner.
Su Ming is in love with her now, right?
Since he loved her, why could he be so calm and say such things to her?
He is so terrible!
