Time passed silently, the sky darkened, and everything around seemed to be still, a panic-stricken silence.

Fortunately, that Bill did not find here, but the people from Rosings did not show up either...

At first, all sorts of messy thoughts flashed through Caroline's mind, such as anxiety, fear, and expectation, but in the end, they were all forgotten. She squatted with her knees hugged, and her thoughts gradually became empty.Then she suddenly heard a voice, which made her shiver, and it took her a while to realize that it was Richard calling her name, and it seemed that Colonel Fitzwilliam was also there.

Only then did she realize how tense she was before, but after she relaxed, she felt a huge sense of weightlessness, and her eyes turned black, as if she was severely anemic.

Their voices were distant and close at times. Caroline couldn't be sure of each other's location, and she was afraid that she would miss them just like that. But when she opened her mouth to respond, she found that her voice was so dry and hoarse that she could hardly make a sound. She wanted to He stood up, but because his legs and feet were already paralyzed, he fell straight forward.

The flower branches were crushed by her, and the sound of prickling and crackling was particularly abrupt.

Such a big movement finally alarmed the other party, and then she heard a voice calling for herself approaching.Under the cheek was the rough feel of the plant, and the scraping hurt, but Caroline didn't want to move.Surprisingly, she was finally rescued, but there was some secret disappointment in her heart. The person who came was not Mr. Darcy... She closed her eyes and let go of this untimely affection.

However, there was a sudden change, and the sound of the flower field being stirred was extremely urgent and fierce, and the approaching speed was very fast. Caroline didn't see who was approaching, but instinctively felt that it was dangerous.

"Stop!" As if to confirm her thoughts, she heard Richard shout: "Caroline, run!"

The previous sentence was obviously addressed to another person... Caroline could not help but shudder as Bill punched viciously in Caroline's mind, and she immediately got up with all her strength.The flower fields were too high, almost completely covering her sight, so Caroline could only run in the opposite direction, but she squatted for too long, her movements were slow, and she could only feel that the person was getting closer and closer, and her ears The rustling sound of the branches rubbing against each other filled her heart like a drum.

He vaguely heard a roar not far behind him, and then Colonel Fitzwilliam yelled 'stop, stop'.

"Otherwise I'm going to shoot!" The colonel's voice was urgent.

At this moment, Caroline suddenly turned around, and five steps away, there were actually two people wrestling together, one of them was obviously Bill who had almost gone mad, and the other...

Caroline covered her mouth in shock.

After a few meaningless gasps and monosyllables, she could recognize that the man was Mr. Darcy, so every time she heard the sound of fists falling on the flesh, she would tremble in shock, unconsciously, tears The face has been soaked.

Richard and Colonel Fitzwilliam quickly approached with torches, there were about five or six of them, and their approach made Bill look like a ferocious trapped beast, launching the final onslaught.He is not as tall as Mr. Darcy, but he is very strong, very powerful, and has a desperate style of play. When she heard Mr. Darcy's muffled groan, Caroline finally collapsed.

"Stop! Mr. White is nearby, he is fine, stop quickly!"

Her voice was hoarse, and it sounded a little scary, which was completely contrary to the well-educated lady, but Caroline couldn't care less about it at this time.

Bill has never found himself and White, but he never escaped from here. Instead, he waited patiently and ambush around the huge flower field where she might be hiding. The only explanation is that he was worried about the safety of his companions.

Sure enough, after Caroline yelled this sentence, Bill paused for a moment. It was this moment that allowed Mr. Darcy to find a gap and knock down the stubborn man who had been scarred for a long time, but he didn't get up again, but He was lying on the ground panting heavily.

Darcy felt as if his cheekbones were shattered. This murderous murderer was the one who tricked Caroline away. Thinking about it made him terrified.He raised his hand to wipe the blood on his face, and then heard the sound of someone staggering approaching behind him, he immediately turned around, strode closer and hugged her, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing here?"

Caroline didn't care about his tone, she hugged her man almost with all her strength, his chest was broad and warm, and the cold touch of the buttons made her want to cry.

"Mr. Darcy . . . thank God you found me."

"Yes... Thank God." Darcy paused for a moment, and finally hugged her back with such force that it seemed as if he would break her, but Caroline only felt relieved.

"You are really unexpected, Miss Caroline." Colonel Fitzwilliam said sincerely after ordering someone to tie up Bill who had stopped resisting for some reason.

"Indeed, you are very good at hiding. If Mr. Darcy hadn't guessed that you would hide in this flower field, we would never have found you, Caroline." Richard also tried to say in a relaxed tone: "But Darcy Mr. Xi, how did you come up with the idea of ​​ambush in case the murderer didn't go far?"

Darcy's hand was pacifying Caroline's back, and when he heard the question, he replied: "The carriage and four horses are still in place, and there are no new hoofprints on the front and back of the path, but more There are footprints in this direction, so I guess no one has left. Besides, the only place to hide nearby is this flower field. Since the murderer did not escape but stayed where he was, I think Caroline must have escaped." said At this point, he took a deep breath with some fear.

"Miss Bingley..." Bill, who was firmly bound, asked her aloud at this moment. His voice was very calm, and his attitude was much calmer, as if the man who was as fierce as a beast before was not him. "You said it, my companion is nearby." His tone could even be called polite.

Caroline frowned, then leaned into Mr. Darcy's arms, and pointed in one direction. Colonel Fitzwilliam ordered a servant to go with her, and after a while, White, who was still in a coma, was taken away. dragged over.

"...Don't tell me this is your handwriting, Caroline." Richard was really surprised this time. No matter how thin White looked, he was a man after all!

Caroline raised her head and glanced at Mr. Darcy, who had been watching her all this time. At this moment, she lowered her head and kissed her deeply on the forehead: "You did a good job." There was no extra emotion, as if she was hitting her with a stick. It is very common to faint a person.

Caroline couldn't help wrapping her arms around his neck and kissed him on the chin.

"...cough, Colonel Fitzwilliam, we should go back. Mrs. De Boer must be very anxious, and the poor coachman and Mr. Darcy also need medical treatment." Richard, who ignored the question, looked at the person in front of him. I dare not have any objection to my son's "reunion lover" showing affection.

Caroline raised her hand to touch the wound and blood on Mr. Darcy's face. Although the man was handsome when he fought for himself, it's better not to have such a thing a second time.What's more, "Fighting is not a gentleman's job, sir, in the future, let's leave this kind of thing to others!" Her tone was a bit strong.

Darcy saw her eyes that had been washed with water, and they were wet with worry and distress. He couldn't help laughing. Although he pulled the wound when he bent his lips, he made a low hiss in shame, but Carlo Lynn's nervous look pleased him anyway.

"Ladies shouldn't learn to beat people with sticks," he whispered.

The more we get along, the more her image diverges from the shy and introverted girl who likes to avoid herself when I first met her.Caroline undoubtedly has a brave and stubborn personality that is completely different from her appearance, and even has a little arrogant temper, and is very sensitive, but he likes her insincere words, her harshness, and her obedient dependence when she is held in his arms .

Finding that Caroline was clearly dissatisfied but blushed in shame, and she was unconsciously charming when she raised her eyes to stare at him, he suddenly felt extremely emotional.

The joy of being lost and found made him breathe heavily, Darcy's eyes were hot, and he lowered his head in embarrassment...

"Oh, by the way! Mr. Darcy, are you willing to marry me? Take care of me all the time. I think Pemberley is much safer and has so many dogs. Sasha will definitely find me the first time." I didn't notice it at all. Caroline said in a somewhat unpleasant way about the emotion of the husband in front of her at this time.

The first half of the sentence alone was enough to make Darcy's heart beat faster, so he didn't notice the completely unromantic meaning of the second half.

He looked at her deeply, deeply, as if he wanted to see the depths of her heart. Such gaze made Caroline, who had no romantic thoughts at all, feel unbearable palpitations.

"you……"

"For a marriage proposal, it's still a lady who needs a man to do it." He touched her face with the back of his hand, "But of course I am willing to marry you, I have always been willing..."

Just as Mr. Darcy was leaning down again, his cousin's annoying voice sounded suddenly.

"Hey, Fitzwilliam, it's time to go back! Everyone is worried."

Hearing Colonel Fitzwilliam's rough voice, Caroline's eyes blurred by the strong male hormones instantly cleared up. They breathed and heard each other, but there were still many people waiting over there... She lowered her head, her face turned hot He said with a dry smile, "Okay, there seem to be a lot of bugs!"

"Well, let's talk about it when we get home, huh?"

Let’s talk about it when I get home, it’s full of meaning...and the sexy buff is fully turned on. Sure enough, some people say that the man who fights for his own woman is the sexiest. I’m afraid there is some truth to it.

Caroline nodded indiscriminately, and Mr. Darcy finally raised his hand to touch her ear, and asked intimately, "Are you tired? Do you need me to hug you?"

It's a bit too challenging for a princess to hold something in this era... Although I know you have always had a good vision, how can you be more open than a half-modern person like her.

"I'm not tired!" Caroline firmly refused, "I'd be grateful if you could lend me an arm."

Mr. Darcy took her very kindly.

When they returned to Rosings, it was completely dark, but the mansion was brightly lit. As soon as Caroline passed through the hall, she saw Mrs. De Boer with a serious expression approaching quickly, holding Mr. Roy's arm.Her face was imprinted by her perennially solemn expression, which seemed very unreasonable. Caroline suddenly felt a subtle timidity of being broken by a child outside but not daring to tell her parents.

"Caroline is fine, Auntie, you don't have to worry too much." Mr. Darcy, who easily understood her emotions, took half a step forward, buffering Mrs. De Boer's gaze.

While she breathed a sigh of relief, she heard Mrs. De Boer say: "How can there be no serious injury? Look at your injuries! And Miss Bingley, she is so young, she must have been quite frightened! The doctor is already resting The room is waiting. While the doctor is examining Miss Bingley, Roy and Fitzwilliam, you must clarify this matter! I have lived for so many years, and I have never seen anyone who dared to move in Rosings' territory. brains!"

Mrs. De Boer must be a weak and strong lady, there is no doubt about it, but she is a little flattered that the other party can defend herself like an outsider in this way.

Caroline was in a mess, but Mrs. De Boer insisted on asking the doctor to examine her. She was in good health both mentally and physically. The gentleman's old doctor saw that the young girl was in distress because of her disheveled appearance, and quickly let her go back to freshen up. up.

Caroline had a good soak in a hot bath. After coming out of the bathroom, she felt a little dizzy and hungry. In order to tidy up her appearance, she hadn't eaten dinner yet.At this time, there was a knock on the door, and the maid stepped forward to open the door, and Mr. Darcy was standing at the door holding a silver dinner plate.

He also seems to have just washed and washed. His hair, which has always been energetic, is covered with water vapor, and it is rare to droop on his forehead and temples. The wounds on his face that have been treated simply look a little embarrassed, as if his eyes have also been soaked, and he looks a bit childish. .

"I didn't have dinner either. If you don't mind, we can have it together."

He personally placed the items on the dinner plate on the table in an orderly manner, his movements were a little rusty, but he was very serious.With this appearance, how can I say I don't mind... The maid who was robbed of her job was a little more at a loss, so Caroline had no choice but to tell her to back down.

After the two of them were left in the room, Mr. Darcy finally arranged everything properly and looked it over again. After he decided he was satisfied, he stood up and looked at Caroline expectantly with eyes that wanted to please her. .

Caroline approached with a lot of pressure. She was really worried that Mr. Darcy would think of the previous 'go home'. She felt a little weak, and she might not be able to bear the deep kiss like this morning, let alone this in the bedroom... A bedroom far more dangerous than a carriage!

She was full of apprehension, but Mr. Darcy didn't realize it at all. He handed the spoon to her hand as if offering a treasure: "I know that I have wronged you without Noah during this time."

Caroline also understands that she can't take a cook with her wherever she goes, because it will appear disrespectful to the host family, so for her already picky taste, the time in Rosings is indeed a torture.But just as she was moved by his carefulness, Mr. Darcy added: "But I think you are too dependent on him... I have already begun to consider whether it is feasible to learn cooking as a new hobby. "

Well, although there is no saying in England that a gentleman cooks far away, it is definitely not a decent thing for a gentleman to cook...

Caroline felt that Mr. Darcy was joking, so she vigilantly did not answer, but picked up the spoon and tasted two mouthfuls of porridge.

The taste is actually very good!

She raised her eyes in surprise, and Mr. Darcy gently bent the corners of his lips: "You asked Noah to cook it for me once, and I described it to the chef, and he can actually cook something similar."

Mr. Darcy's thoughtfulness has reached a new level. If he asks for an intimate scene, I'm afraid he won't be able to justly refuse...

After finishing dinner with some worry, Mr. Darcy cleaned up the tableware himself, coaxed her to walk around the room, and chatted with Caroline on the terrace for a while. After about 20 minutes, he urged She rested.

When Caroline heard him say, "Go to bed and rest", the alarm bells rang in her heart, her heart beat three beats wrong, and her ears began to heat up. However, to her surprise, Mr. Darcy was as thoughtful as a kind father , tucked the quilt for her, and then dropped a light kiss on her forehead.

"Go to sleep today!" He said: "Don't think about anything. Will you be afraid?"

Caroline shook her head blankly.

"I asked someone to live in the living room outside. If you wake up at night, you can call her at any time."

After finishing speaking, he got up and was about to leave. The expression on his face was so calm, as if the person who dragged her into the carriage to ask for a kiss, and the person who couldn't help himself in the flower field this morning was imagined by her, and he came to her The room is just for having dinner with her.

"Mr. Darcy..." Caroline grabbed his hand suddenly, and recovered after touching the back of his delicate and warm hand. Mr. Darcy had already looked at her patiently and questioningly.

Could it be that because she was not turned into a puddle in his arms and kissed into mud, her mind was not clear... Caroline was momentarily at a loss for words.

"By the way! I want to say... Of the two people today, White must be the one who is more likely to speak the truth. Bill is probably very cunning." I really want to applaud her wit.

Mr. Darcy nodded as expected, and said as if approving: "I think so too."

Then he stood up again, and this time it was obvious that he was really going to leave. Caroline suppressed the untimely loss in her heart, and closed her eyes obediently, as if very docile.So of course, she couldn't see Mr. Darcy's deep eyes and the soft curve of his lips.
