[Pride and Prejudice] A Gentleman's Love

The young man looked at her for a while, and finally said, "I didn't expect this to confuse you."

If someone talked to Elizabeth like this an hour ago, she might feel that the other party was arrogant and conceited, but now, after seeing everything Mr. Darcy did and his expression, she just wanted to know the reason urgently.

Mr. Darcy's voice was low, but there was always a high-society haughtiness in his tone, which they never concealed, of course.

"Honestly, ma'am, I don't think there's anything wrong with what I said earlier. Proms aren't fun, casual pick-ups and sex are a bit vulgar, and I think you're arrogant, and so far I don't Nothing much has changed."

Elizabeth was not annoyed, but just showed a brisk smile to signal the other party to continue.

"But what you said at the ball, I think you may not be a superficial lady. Like, for money, to meet the opposite sex, or, because some impulsive feeling keeps your mind in a stupid state. And Just now, I have seen everything you do, and you are a contented person in this place that is a bit boring to ordinary people," Mr. Darcy paused, his slender fingers scrubbing the wooden texture on the counter Then, he raised his eyes to look at Elizabeth, his expression was light and showing a kind of rebelliousness.

"And people are usually not satisfied. For this, I think, you deserve my respect."

"Should I thank you for your respect?" Elizabeth asked with a smile, she didn't look angry, but the young man just looked at her, and then said lightly, with some arrogance.

"Why not, miss."

"Well, Mr. Darcy, I have to say, whether you are intentional or not, you are really a gentleman now, and maybe I should also apologize to you for some of my previous inappropriate words."

Elizabeth looked up at the gentleman in front of her, then showed a sincere smile, and spoke in a brisk tone.

"I am very grateful for your respect for me, but I don't intend to take back my words. You are indeed not a complete gentleman. At least you shouldn't ask me to thank you after you said these words. That is really enough Arrogant and arrogant!"

Elizabeth saw that the man was not angry. On the contrary, he just stared at her intently, as if he was examining something seriously. He looked serious, and he was a little, um, charismatic.

This is really strange.thought Elizabeth.How can a person like him when he doesn't like him because of his shortcomings?

At any rate, after what had been said, Elizabeth found herself quite fond of Mr. Darcy.At least, like a normal friend.Because although he is arrogant, he is not stupid, and although he speaks a little harshly, he is honest enough.

"Then miss, does this count as our reconciliation?"

"If you insist that we were quarreling," said Elizabeth in a drawn-out tone, and then she saw Mr. Darcy smile slightly.The smile was not clear, but Elizabeth just felt that he did look very happy.

"It was a pleasure talking to you."

Look, Elizabeth never met such a frank person.Whether he hates it or dislikes it, he doesn't care about what other people think at all, or this is some transparent social rules set for human beings, but, on the contrary, he is not stingy with what he likes and makes him feel happy will express to people.

The corners of Elizabeth's mouth were slightly raised, and her slender neck was still raised high, like a swan.

"Me too, Mr. Darcy, it has been a pleasure talking to you."

Mr. Darcy nodded slightly. Obviously, his superior background made him unable to erase some good upbringing in his bones even though he was criticized for being arrogant.

"Since we have been honest with each other, will you accept my invitation to the next ball?"

"It's an honor." Elizabeth gracefully raised her skirt at the counter. Even though the other party couldn't see it, she just felt that it was enough to respect him, and likewise, she respected herself.

Elizabeth straightened her body, looked at Mr. Darcy in front of her, and asked, "So would you like to sit down and read a book today?"

"No, I don't need it today." Mr. Darcy thanked him, and Elizabeth watched him leave with a smile, but just after the man turned around and took two steps, he turned back again.

"Is there anything else you want?" Elizabeth asked.

"I just almost forgot one thing."

"what?"

"Your book, which was left by the lake last time, I think it belongs to you."

Elizabeth's eyes widened slightly, and she almost blurted out "So you are the duck who stole the book".

"Yes, I borrowed it from this library."

The man looked at Elizabeth, thought for a while, then took off his top hat, and gave Elizabeth a somewhat grand apology.

Elizabeth was slightly taken aback.

"I am very sorry, Miss Elizabeth. I think I have taken the book without authorization, and have obviously caused you trouble."

"Well, it doesn't matter actually, I am very grateful to you, because this way I can get in touch with these cuties more intimately." Elizabeth rolled her eyes.

"Sounds like you really like books?"

"Yes."

Mr. Darcy thought for a while, and then said: "To express my apologies, if you have any books you want to read, I will do my best to find them for you."

Elizabeth smiled, "I'm very glad to hear you say that, and I'm really grateful, but I don't think I can use your kind promise right now, the books here are almost enough for me to read for ten years gone."

"I have to say, you are really different from the young lady I met before." The young man glanced at her, but still insisted.

"This incident was originally my fault. As I promised, as long as you need it, I will do my best."

"Okay, sir." Elizabeth sighed, but still looked very pleased.

"You are a stubborn person."

"To each other, miss," said Mr. Darcy quietly.

"Then, I'll have someone deliver the book to you later."

"Yes, thank you, Mr. Darcy."

Elizabeth sent Mr. Darcy away, and after he left, she stayed alone at the counter, picking up an unfinished book, but, after reading for a while, her eyes caught on to the book. The vase, and that sky blue ribbon.

"It's really beautiful." Elizabeth sighed softly, and the corners of her mouth curled up happily.
