Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
The Julie that Mrs. Ford was talking about was Mrs. Hall’s youngest daughter.
Mrs. Hall laughed. “Julie is only six years old this year. It’s the time for her to be naughty and restless. So if she makes a fuss later, you don’t have to worry about her. Just let her vent her emotions.”
Caroline nodded and followed the butler out. Today was her first time attending a social event, and with Joline watching over her, it was better not to be too hasty.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Young Miss, the Second Miss, and Miss Julie are playing by the lake,” the butler who was leading the way said respectfully.
The three of them, who had already changed and dressed up, should be sitting in the room waiting for guests. However, Helen, the eldest daughter of the Ford family, suddenly mentioned that a group of little geese had come to the lake and perched there these two days. Their fur was snow-white and had a bit of luster, and they looked especially beautiful in the sun. If they could pluck a few of their feathers and decorate the brim of their hats, it would definitely look very beautiful.
The eight-year-old Hannah and the six-year-old Julie were at the age where they were curious and playful. As soon as they heard Helen’s words, they immediately clamored to pluck the geese feathers and use them as decorations.
Helen didn’t know that her casual words had caused the two little ancestors to kick up a fuss. She couldn’t calm them down, so she had to take them to the lake.
Compared to Hannah and Julie, who were still children, Helen, who was already 17 years old, knew the danger of the lake and the difficulty of plucking geese feathers. So she repeatedly warned the two children to watch from a
distance and not approach the lake. They were also not allowed to take the initiative to chase the geese. Otherwise, if they angered them and were attacked by them, they would end up in a terrible state.
Helen had never caught a goose before, and the geese wandering around the lake were too fast for her to catch up. So her idea was that since the flock of geese was more concentrated on playing on the lake, she would row to the center of the lake and wait there quietly for a while. When the geese got used to her presence, she would stroke their fur unexpectedly.
Therefore, she could not stay by the shore to watch over the two little fellows. She could only warn them again and again, ‘You’re not allowed to do this and that.”
Facing her warning, Hannah and Julie naturally responded quickly without any hesitation However _ when Helen hoarded the hoat and rowed nut _ the two immediately forgot her warning. They boldly walked to the lake and chased after the geese.
They knew that the geese would attack people, so they pulled out small sticks from the grass to protect themselves and chase after the geese.
Suddenly, the sound of children and the panicked cries of geese could be heard by the lake. Helen quickly looked back and stood up in a hurry. However, because of her swift action, the boat lost its balance and almost overturned. Helen was so scared that she quickly squatted down and held the body of the boat tightly, trying to calm it down.
She was worried that the boat would capsize, and she was also worried about Hannah and Julie, who were running by the lake. She was afraid that they would slip or fall into the lake if the geese pounced on them.

But Hannah and Julie, who were already having fun, apparently ignored her shouts.
Helen gritted her teeth. “Don’t make me go back and catch you.” When the boat finally balanced, she touched the back of her hand, but she touched nothing.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she realized that she seemed to have thrown away the oars in her hands when the boat almost capsized. There was no sign of the oars on the boat now, so they had probably slipped into the water.
Helen looked into the water, but she could only see darkness. She said anxiously, “How do I go back?”
She was about 30 to 40 meters away from the shore. It wasn’t very far, but she wasn’t good at swimming. The bottom of the lake was obviously very deep. Even if she was wearing a protective suit, she didn’t dare to jump into the water and swim back.
So, she could only wait for the people in the manor to pick her up. However, Helen and Julie had asked her to hurry up, so she came out in a hurry and didn’t even have her phone. Now, she could only wait for the people in the manor to find them.
Hannah and Julie, who were having fun, did not notice that their big sister was in trouble. They were still happily chasing the goose. ????????????????????α????. ????o????
