202 Ch. 202 Asking For Blessing
A few hours earlier...
“Excuse me, may I come in?” Andrew politely asked to get permission to go inside, considering this room was specially reserved for dress-up ladies.
“Come in.” Anxia was the first to answer and let him in.
Andrew walked over to Harmonie, who was still sitting limply as if the world had ended. He knelt under the girl’s feet and held Harmonie’s hand gently. “I’ve heard from Raymond. He says if I want them to let us be together, we should be able to guess their identities tonight. Why do you look so sad?”
“Andrew. So far, no one has managed to win it. Their demeanor and the way they spoke would be completely different from usual, and they will behave like everyone else and only speak the same way.”
“I have one way. But… I need help.”
“What kind of help?”
“Not you, but them.” Andrew glanced at Michelle and Anxia with a mysterious smile.
“What can we do?”
.....
“You guys are their wives, so most likely, the only ones who can tell them apart are you guys.”
“Impossible,” Harmonie argued, feeling that her hope that had risen had now sunk again when she heard that Andrew needed the help of her sister-in-law. “Even if they were my brothers’ wives, they wouldn’t be able to guess.”
“Hey, are you underestimating our abilities?” Anxia was even more curious about how difficult it was to differentiate between the two twins.
“You are underestimating my brothers too much. They will make a major makeover to the point that you couldn’t tell them apart.”
“Even so, it shouldn’t be difficult... right?” Michelle became insecure when she saw the cloudy light and gave up hope in Harmonie.
“You guys never saw them when they switched places before,” Harmonie said and sat back limply, closing her eyes.
“I believe in them,” Andrew answered confidently, giving Harmonie another hope. “Besides, their treatment of the woman they love would look different. That’s why I need their help.”
“What can we help?” asked Anxia.
Andrew gave two small tools to each of Anxia and Michelle. Anxia, ??who was used to her past work, immediately recognized that it was a tracking device. Meanwhile, Michelle and Harmonie did not know the function of the tool and could only guess.
“If you can guess the difference between the two, try to put this tool in Richard’s shirt.”
“Richard? Why only Richard?”
“Because this is a tracking device. We will know which one is Richard through this tool.”
Anxia immediately understood what he meant, but Harmonie still had doubts about this plan.
“But, how can they tell which is Richard and which is Raymond?”
“How about dancing together?” Andrew’s suggestion made Michelle and Anxia astonished. “If you guys are dancing, you can’t help but be very close, and they won’t suspect that you put this thing in their pocket. But, before you dance, it’s best to check whether your dance partner is Richard.”
“I think that’s a great idea. Leave it to us.” Anxia said confidently, making Andrew smile happily.
Harmonie was also pleased to hear that her two sisters-in-law were willing to help her. She even felt her heart go through a high state of euphoria when she saw Andrew still had not given up on fighting for her.
However…
Will this plan work?
And just as she expected, Anxia and Michelle had a hard time guessing which was their husband and which wasn’t. Even when the two men asked them to dance, Anxia and Michelle were still thinking hard to tell the twins apart.
But, who would have thought… precisely because the two couples were dancing together in the ballroom, Michelle and Anxia became aware of who was the husband and who was not.
The two even listened to their husbands’ compelling reasons to separate Harmonie from Andrew. Even though they were hesitant to go ahead with this plan, both decided to let Harmonie decide.
After all, a person’s life was determined by the person himself and not by anyone else. Richard and Raymond had no right to arrange Harmonie’s private affairs.
As soon as the tracking device was activated, the digital watches worn by Andrew and Harmonie were also started by displaying three dots of different colors. Two red dots are signal points from their two digital clocks, while one blue dot is a signal from the tracking device in Richard’s pocket.
They deliberately did not immediately confront the twins because they wanted to catch both off guard and felt they would win. Apart from that, Harmonie also wanted to teach her two older siblings a lesson by not being able to be with her two wives by taking too long to end this game.
When Leonard gave his final speech, it was then that Andrew and Harmonie decided randomly to separate the two.
Harmonie tugged Raymond while Andrew tugged Richard. How had they known that what Andrew was pulling was Richard and Harmonie pulling Raymond out? From their digital watch!
The blue dot in Richard’s pocket adjoined the red dot from Andrew’s watch. Meanwhile, the blue dot on Harmonie’s digital watch is far from the girl’s red dot.
That means… Andrew was with Richard, while Raymond was with Harmonie.
“I didn’t know what you were worried about, but now I know,” stated Andrew, making Richard silent to wait for the man’s explanation to continue.
“I can’t change my parents’ background. I also can not choose who will be my parents. But I can choose a woman to accompany my life, and I choose to protect her. If Moni wants me to drop Heinest from my name, I will do it. I will voluntarily step down if Moni doesn’t want me to get involved in the political fight between the Heinests. Also… I will be strict with the women my mother arranged for me and reject them all. I won’t let anything or anyone harm Harmonie.”
“…”
“I can’t promise whether I can appease my mother’s anger or prevent the womenfolk from plotting against my future wife. But I can promise no calamity or tears will come out of Harmonie, and I promise Harmonie’s life will be filled with laughter and joy.”
“…”
“Thus, I humble myself right here and now... begging you... please, let me be with Harmonie.”
Richard was slightly surprised when he saw Andrew’s body bent to form a ninety-degree angle towards him. A Heinest never stooped down to anyone. Heinest was a noble family, and even though they had to flee because the German government claimed the Prussia kingdom, their authority and history were still attached to each member of the Heinest family.
Now, seeing Andrew, who had been willing to lower himself to get his sister… did Richard really lose this time?
“Hhhh… Andrew, you’re begging the wrong person. It wasn’t me who curbed Harmonie’s desires. You should talk like this to my father.”
Andrew straightened his body with a happy smile. “Your father has blessed us.”
Richard coughed because he choked on his saliva when he heard this answer.
Stanley has given his blessing?! Since when?
If he knew this, he and Raymond wouldn’t have bothered to stage this ridiculous game!
