Chapter 532 – Fate’s Favoritism

“I didn’t expect to come to Scotland and run into this kind of weather.” Although Alan Wilson mentally exclaimed God’s blessing, he still verbally expressed his apologies to Audrey Hepburn.

“It seems like it’s difficult to want to go back.” Audrey Hepburn sighed, feeling that being called out by Alan Wilson for a vacation was a bad decision, she originally didn’t want to come out, but just couldn’t resist the man’s soft words.

“Audrey, don’t be impatient!” Alan Wilson’s reassuring, he cherished his last bit of time on home soil.

Audrey Hepburn also knows that this man who brought himself out to travel, will soon go to Malaya to go to the office, only under the reluctance to agree to come out, the bad weather in Scotland can not be attributed to each other.

Alan Wilson turned on the light and built the fire in the fireplace. Having ascertained that the wood had burned, there turned on all the lights in the room, and though the storm was raging outside, with large drops of water beating down on the glass, the house was unaffected, and there was some warmth in the atmosphere.

The anticipated trip was definitely a bust, and it was still too early to go to bed. Audrey Hepburn felt like she should do something, but didn’t know what. She walked around in boredom, the sound of the sharp wind torturing her nerves. Maybe a hot bath would help. She walked upstairs, stripping off her clothes along the way. The heat had risen to the second floor and the room was becoming parched.

She filled the tub and soaked in the comforting hot water. Her hair was in a bun on her head, and the light from the bathroom fell on her, reflecting her hidden body and seeming to accentuate the fullness of her bosoms, and the hair between her legs was distinctly dark and mysterious.

It was also a body that had not changed since birth, and for a long time, until the temperature of the water receded and the downpour still had not passed, Audrey Hepburn went downstairs, and the fireplace, which had been stuffed with wood, warmed the whole room, and there was no more of the gloominess that had been there before, and just dressed in her easy home attire she watched as Alan Wilson went about his business of using the stockpiles that had been made available in this Scottish country house, to prepare the food for the two of them.

“The conditions are a little spartan, which is out of my expectation, few things are out of my expectation.” Alan Wilson fiddled with the potato pancakes, rather unskilled in his technique, but luckily, he never lacked the courage to try.

Audrey Hepburn came over to help, and in a trance she had the illusion that this was a couple living a simple, ordinary life.

But he understood that this man was a promising Whitehall rising star, about to depart in a matter of days to travel half a world away to become the administrator of a land twice the size of England, where tens of millions of people would be deciding what kind of future they could have at the stroke of a pen at the man’s fingertips.

“Let’s start with a cup of cocoa, it’ll be ready in a minute.” Patting the woman on the shoulder, Alan Wilson didn’t have time to feel the elasticity of his body underneath his pajamas, letting the woman wait off to the side first.

“Uh-huh.” Without any reason, Audrey Hepburn sat to the side in obedience to the man’s wishes, watching the man busy, “Just go half a world away, I heard that the locals are all foreigners.”

“They are all human beings, there is no need to distinguish between what is alien or not. In fact, the vast majority of people have some xenophobic thoughts in their hearts, it’s just that most of them don’t talk about it.” Alan Wilson continued while making food, “Don’t think that the people in the colonies, will necessarily fear the British, it’s Britain they fear, not the British.”

“Must we maintain overseas colonies? I always thought that would be wrong.” Audrey Hepburn spoke carefully, “It’s just a feeling, I didn’t mean anything else.”

“Wrong is right, but it has to be maintained because there is no better way as of now. And I for one will not treat the area as a colony, I will run it in the same way I would treat the mainland.” Alan Wilson turned to fill in some more wood and continued, “Good and evil is a matter for the Anglican Church and all I can do is to give a stability and not let there be a repeat of what happened in British India, which by the way you probably don’t know, I started the campaign to save the Virgin in British India in the first place.”

This surprised Audrey Hepburn, who had been in England for more than two years despite her long residence in Holland, and during the last period in British India, in order to make the native land more psychologically prepared for the abandonment of British India, public opinion had reported for a long time on the bad habits and ignorance of the whole of British India.

Naturally, the British press, of course, focused on the deeds of the last two years of conscience, of which the unity of the whole subcontinent against the drought and the liberation of the Hindu saints occupied a great deal of space.

These Audrey Hepburn is aware of, as a woman, she naturally also reported sympathy for the tragic plight of the Hindu holy woman, thinking of this she spoke, “So this action was executed by you.”

“It’s also correct to say that it was dominated, the power of overseas civil servants isn’t quite the same as that of the home country. This is the reason why many overseas civil servants are reluctant to return home, the reason why the Comet airliners are heavily ordered in the major colonies also has the factor of facilitating the local official cloud. They stay local when they want to do something, and they can come back anytime they want to take a break.” Alan Wilson explained with a raised eyebrow, “I’ll do my best to make time to come back and see you.”

Sensing Audrey Hepburn’s interest in such topics, Allen Wilson said more about what he considered to be women’s affirmative action and pointed out the difference between slogan idyllic feminism and true women’s affirmative action.

And of course told Hepburn that the latter was quite difficult, “Just as the pursuit of truth is very difficult, there are so many ways to steer the matter in the direction of the former.”

The food was made, and in the light of the pouring rain, the two were treated to an off-the-wall fulfillment.

“It’s like being at the North Pole!” Audrey Hepburn marveled at the vagaries of nature.

If it were any other time, facing other people, veteran key politician Alan Wilson would surely take the opportunity to popularize the Arctic, and then come up with a rhetorical question, where on earth does it look like the North Pole? But in the face of such an environment, such a person, he …… did not pick up the words.

Just marveled at the vastness of the world, as well as the cultures and customs of different places, but ultimately this will all become engraved in the bones of the memory, sooner or later, all ethnic groups all people into the active or passive into the modern society.

“The British Empire and some countries in Europe are very lucky, is the active come in, passive come in must pay a certain price, the reason why the colonies appeared, is also a specific presentation of these costs.”

Alan Wilson is not handsome, but rich in a certain conceited charm, what topic he can interject, can bring others a succession of novelty, now Audrey Hepburn is feeling.

Accompanied by red wine the two pushed a glass of wine, Audrey Hepburn talked about their current goals and aspirations, Allen Wilson, he said he believed that her goals will be able to achieve, “Perhaps you will be more famous than Elizabeth Taylor, more famous.”

“I can’t compare to her.” Audrey Hepburn smiled shyly, her face moving under the effect of red wine.

Elizabeth Taylor is a child star origin, at the age of nine has acted in the movie, at the age of ten has signed with MGM, the current position in the British acting industry, certainly can not be compared with the Great Britain treasure of Vivien Lei, but is considered a young actor among the leaders, this is absolutely right.

Audrey Hepburn, who just stepped into the acting world, also knows the name of this young actor leader.

“Can’t compare, I don’t really think so.” Alan Wilson said while packing up his things, “Maybe you are more popular than her.”

“You just know how to praise me.” Audrey Hepburn smiled shyly and joined in the cleanup after the meal.

In the darkness, the two in the room tidied everything up before Alan Wilson went upstairs for a hot shower, and finally, with mixed emotions, Audrey Hepburn nodded to the request to sleep in one bedroom for the night.

The trip was certainly spoiled by the pouring rain, the two were still quite excited about the arrangements after the rain stopped, chatting animatedly, talking about the childhood of the two, listening to Audrey Hepburn tell about the old days, how to deal with the Germans.

In Audrey Hepburn rhetorical question Allen Wilson in the East life, he then answered the then Japanese army swept across Southeast Asia upheaval, and arrived in India after the opening of the civil service career.

Do not know when, Audrey Hepburn’s body embedded in the arms of Alan Wilson, the latter curious to kill the East and West ball flower to start the exploration, at first Hepburn some avoid this behavior, whispering to remind themselves did not experience ……

Eventually it remained inevitably open, perhaps best assisted by the downpour this time, as she endured a deep, long kiss from Alan Wilson.

The lights went out at some point and the two of them explored forward in the darkness, the temperature of the bedroom rising gradually instead. The female voice that appeared suddenly in the darkness broke the silence, “There, no kissing ……”

A burst of quilt surging, Allen Wilson’s head from inside the quilt drilled out, four eyes can only see each other’s blurred outlines, accompanied by the woman’s cry of pain, this night’s bedroom as outside the pouring rain without the slightest pause.

It is difficult to explain what this is a feeling, anyway, Alan Wilson rarely have such a radiant time, the next morning is ready to depending on the situation, prepared for a different rhetoric, and even wondered if it is necessary to directly kneel down and slap himself twice to show sincerity.

But the goddess who woke up was not to blame, only suffering from some uncertainty about the future of the two of them. Last night’s experience was indelible to her.

The sun reappeared and the two walked out of the room arm-in-arm at Ellen Wilson’s suggestion, “I feel that I have no regrets in my life, nothing scares me anymore.”

Allen Wilson’s words were very sincere, and although it had nothing to do with God, his old man, fate did favor him extraordinarily, and more than once.
