Chapter 220 Ah Fu's Worries
"Please sit down first, Master Damian." Afu put the prepared waffles on the small dining table, and at the same time brought a cup of fragrant freshly ground coffee.
And Alfred made his favorite savory waffle pairing that everyone else didn’t like—crispy bacon, salt and pepper, and a single-sided fried egg on top of the waffle.
Eat the meal first, and then go to the prison?Damian shrugged nonchalantly in his head and picked up the fork.In any case, Ah Fu can be considered a humanitarian spirit...
"If Master Damian has been eager to talk to me for more than a month, if it's just your relationship with Harley... I already know."
Damian almost choked to death on the fried egg, Ah Fu really cut to the chase...
"Uh..." He wiped the corners of his mouth, hesitating whether to stand up and say it, but would it be too much like being lectured?No parent would want to see their precious daughter find such a weak boyfriend...
God, this is so embarrassing... Damian has the feeling of returning to the time when he first met Ah Fu again. He is still just that stubborn kid who is not ten years old and makes people have a headache.
He looked up and saw that Ah Fu had taken off his apron, and the black suit was still perfectly flat and spotless.He leaned back against the counter in the open kitchen, his wrinkles filled with the early morning sunlight coming in from the kitchen window, and Damian couldn't see any emotion from his perpetually calm face.
He stared blankly at Ah Fu, and Ah Fu also looked at him, and no one spoke for a while.
"Uh..." Damian pursed his lips, realizing that he had "uh" too much, "And then, no comments... and comments?"
Ah Fu sighed deeply, which made Damian frowned quietly. Is he so worrying?
"You are still young," Ah Fu said softly. "No one knows what will happen in the future. Young people today have a very different attitude towards intimacy than they did 40 years ago."
"You also saw how many girlfriends Dick and the others have changed," Ah Fu continued: "You and Harley are still young, no matter how I plan to interfere, it is too early. I only hope that you are paying attention to this relationship. In terms of exploration, I can go slower—of course, I am very grateful that you share the same thoughts with me.”
Damian realizes that Alfred is making a veiled reference to the "training room incident" on Halle's birthday night, which makes him blush.
"And, I also hope that if you really separate in the future, this friendship for many years since childhood will not be destroyed." Ah Fu sighed again, "I'm old, I don't know if I can still accompany you How many years has Li been. If I leave too, she will only be left to you. I am worried that she will be like Jason, who will be alienated from this family because of some bad memories-of course, the premise is that you treat her as a family member if."
Damian's frown deepened, and he even lost his appetite. The cold water poured down from the pot was powerful.
Ah Fu's worries are too distant and groundless... Even his habitually pessimistic father didn't think so much.
Based on the inferences drawn from the conversation with his father last night, what if he and Harry had an issue?The father is probably more likely to throw his son himself out...
"What's going on in your head, Fu?" Damian stood up. "Of course we see Harley as family, even if she dumped me. She's part of the family."
"I don't know how to make you feel at ease with me," Damian crossed his arms, and the more he said, the more angry he became, and Ah Fu didn't trust him too much, "see if this works—once Harley reaches the age, we will Go to the city hall and get married, if Harry wants to."
Maybe it's because the word "marriage" is so scary that even Ah Fu, who is far-sighted, never thought of it.The old butler was staring at Damian intently at this moment, his eyes oscillating between full of hostility and disbelief.
seriously?Even all kinds of fancy breakups have been staged in his mind, and Ah Fu has never spent even a second thinking about the possibility that the two of them can really stick to the end?
Blame that guy Grayson!All kinds of teasing girls when I was young!Scared Ah Fu!
"This... we'll talk about it later," Ah Fu, a standard British gentleman who has always seldom made petty gestures, was rubbing his brows at this moment, "It's too early... It's too early, you and Harley are still children."
"Even if you break up, it's part of the life experience. I fully understand intellectually that I'd better not interfere." Ah Fu said softly: "To love, to be sad, to re-accept, these are the reasons why people are human." I can't take that away from Harley."
"It's just that the other person is you... If any of you are hurt by the other party, I will feel sorry for you." Ah Fu looked at Damian and said seriously.
"I..." Damian opened his mouth and was suddenly speechless. He could only pretend to be indifferent, "It's nothing, Ah Fu, you also said that young people today are different from those back then. And, It’s nothing compared to really big issues like World Crisis, Gotham Disturbance, etc. Harry and I are people who have seen the big world, and we can handle it.”
That being said, however, he imagined in his mind that one day Harley would say to him "I think we need to separate for a while, you're suffocating me" and "It's not you, it's me" Such tacky breakup lines, how would he deal with himself...
These images made him tremble all over, and he even wanted to fly to England to find Harry right now, and rub her into his arms.
What Ah Fu needs to worry about... should be whether he will kill Harley's new boyfriend after the breakup.
The old butler looked at Damian for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
Damian swallowed the bitterness in his chest, "Does this... mean that you accept me? Do you agree with our relationship?"
"I had no objection." Ah Fu smiled.
Damian was even more puzzled, "Then...the housework before was testing me? To see if I am a man worthy of Harry's entrustment?"
"Thinking too much, Master Damian," Ah Fu blinked, "Those chores are just out of my personal dissatisfaction."
"What... what? It's not a test?" Damian was helpless, but he could only bear it.
Looking at the leisurely old butler, Damian's question still hasn't been perfectly answered. "Is this the end?" He continued to ask.This is a way of courting death. Ah Fu has already said that he accepts it. The wisest thing for Damian is to shut up.But if he could shut up in time, he wouldn't be Damian Wayne.
"You have no more questions for me?"
A Fu shook his head, "I spent more than a month recovering almost the entire process of establishing your relationship, including restoring the night watch data that you deleted - of course only part of it, you deleted it quite finely; and, Bribe the manager and staff of the hotel you bought in London, watch the surveillance. Similar... espionage investigation."
He smiled at Damian, but the smile in Damian's eyes was sly and threatening...
"If there is any problem, I have already called you." Ah Fu dropped the last sentence.
