I'm really a witch

The atmosphere of this dinner is not destined to be so normal and relaxed.In fact, while Williams did try to look nonchalant, Circe couldn't really treat him as normal.

Every time she said a word or made a movement, she couldn't help trying to figure it out in her mind, and her speech and behavior were unavoidably jerky and stiff, making her look very uncomfortable.Circe also knew that what she did would only make the atmosphere between the two more awkward, but she couldn't be as casual and natural as usual.

Williams saw her cautiousness and felt very bitter in his heart.He also wanted to liven up the atmosphere, even if it was just a simple chat.But he said that he was not depressed and disappointed, of course it was all fake, just pretending to be relaxed is already a difficult thing.He almost felt that he couldn't pretend anymore the next moment.

This meal was the hardest time the two got along.Even if it was the first time they met, they had never been so at a loss as they are today.Whatever was done seemed inappropriate and not good enough.So until the end of a dinner, Williams did not make a proposal to ask Circe to stay here.

At least in this way, I am afraid that Circe will not easily accept Mr. Darcy's marriage proposal.Looking at the carriage driving far away, Williams comforted himself.

"Cersey? Maybe you would be willing to tell me what troubles you have encountered?" The little girl's worry was too obvious, and Elizabeth couldn't help frowning when she asked.

Charlotte was away, and she felt it was necessary for her to take care of Circe.It happened that they lived in the same room, which was suitable for a chat between sisters.

Circe buried her face in the pillow, sounding weak: "I rejected another gentleman's marriage proposal." She hammered the pillow, and her voice sounded more muffled, "Liz, do you think I still don't want to get married?" Better?"

Elizabeth simply sat down on her bed, reached out and patted the little girl on the back: "What are you talking about, Sir Lucas will not allow you not to get married." She was always optimistic, "Left and right have already refused , It's useless for you to think too much, don't be so low."

"It's different this time." Circe retorted, but didn't mean to explain.She turned over and sighed a long time, "Forget it, it will probably take me a few days..." She suddenly stopped, and then patted the quilt in grief and indignation, "But I also promised to Take you to see him!"

Elizabeth managed not to laugh.Of course she was worried about her sister's love life, but her reaction was really cute.

Circe didn't notice Elizabeth's slightly weird expression for a moment, and continued on her own: "When are we leaving? Can I take you there the day before departure?"

She seemed to think that her idea was very shrewd, she raised her head suddenly, looked at Elizabeth, and tried to seek affirmation, "Liz, what do you think?"

Elizabeth shook her head amusedly: "I'm afraid I can't agree with that. It's very rude to delay it for so long." Before Circe showed a worried look, she added, "But we can indeed wait for three or five God, I don't think that's going to be a problem."

Circe was a little hesitant. She felt that three to five days might not be enough for her to find a new way of getting along.But Elizabeth is right. Deferring for a few days and deliberately procrastinating for a long time are two completely different concepts.So she finally nodded reluctantly, agreeing with her sister's point of view.

This period of time in London is destined to be restless.

Waking up early the next morning, the greeting card from Mr. Darcy was delivered to Gardner's house.Now the Gardners looked at Miss Lucas with even more amazed eyes, as if they wanted to see what kind of power was hidden in her small body, to know so many amazing people .

Circe's moods are somewhat complicated, especially when she formally meets Mr. Darcy at dinner.She always felt a little inexplicably guilty about the marriage proposal from Williams the day before.This emotion was really unreasonable, but she looked at Mr. Darcy's calm face as usual, but she couldn't have the courage to look directly into his eyes as usual.

It's just unreasonable.Circe tried to turn her around in this way, but she clearly failed.Throughout the meal, she remained extremely silent, as if she had wrapped herself in some unsolvable emotional dilemma, and she seemed not energetic.

Darcy could tell at a glance that something was wrong with his little girl today, but he could not for a moment guess the reason for it.Could it be because he didn't tell the little girl in advance before coming?After he was presented with that magic watch.

But Circe is not someone who cares about such small things.Or to put it more sadly, her feelings for herself might not make her lose her temper because of such things.But in this case, no matter how clever Darcy was, he couldn't think of any other reason.

Originally, he was thinking of giving the little girl a surprise, and if it went well, he might be able to invite them to go out together—even if they took a walk after dinner, it would be a good harvest.But now it seems that these estimates have no chance to speak out.The little girl looked really absent-minded.

As for that Miss Elizabeth, Darcy suspected that she was still resenting her offense to her-the way she looked at this gentleman, and there was no big problem in saying a word of schadenfreude.Even if she hadn't forgotten to cover it up so that it didn't seem so obvious.

Darcy tried to talk to his little girl, as he always did.Circe was always happy to cooperate with him, he was confident of that.His little girl is very soft-hearted and would never want him to face an embarrassing situation.This is indeed the case. Although Circe is not interested in talking, she will still answer every question Darcy asks seriously, but she will not just expand a few sentences along the way.

This worried Mr. Darcy very much.He couldn't help feeling disappointed that something had happened to his little girl and he couldn't help.Maybe he should take a side note from Miss Elizabeth?But this young lady's vigilance was extraordinarily high, and she didn't want to reveal anything to him.

"Georgianna wrote and asked me when you will arrive in Pemberley." Darcy simply gave up on inquiring, and tried to bring up some light topics, "She misses you very much."

After hearing Georgiana's name, Circe's expression was really relaxed as he expected, and she even showed a short, happy smile: "I miss her very much, I always feel that I will never see her again. By then, she had already grown taller than me!"

Mr. Darcy showed a serious look, and measured the distance from the top of Circe's head to the tip of his toes with his eyes, then he hooked the corners of his mouth and said softly: "I'm afraid this is really going to happen, she is already as tall as you now .”

"It's really enviable." Circe wrinkled her nose, then shook her head with a quick smile, "There's no one taller than Charlotte in the family, so I guess it's not my problem. ' She blinked.Her attention was successfully directed in another direction by Mr. Darcy.

Darcy laughed with her, and he smiled more now, especially around Circe.This point was specially reminded by his sister. Georgiana was really worried that her brother's cold face would scare people away.It doesn't seem too difficult.Darcy thought to himself, at least for his little girl, it was not difficult at all.

"Georgianna also asked me to tell you that her irises are growing better these days. Although it is winter, she looks very energetic." In fact, Georgiana has a lot more descriptions in her heart, but when she arrives In Xi's mouth, he can often only sum up these three or two sentences.

"That shows that Georgiana is indeed talented and careful in this regard," Circe seemed to be quite proud. "I went back and took a look. The little guy is very healthy. Georgiana must have taken care of her on weekdays."

"Ah..." As soon as she finished speaking, Circe covered her mouth and smiled at him ingratiatingly.Although the matter of giving Christmas gifts has been discussed, Circe still can't help but feel guilty every time it is mentioned.

"Last time?" Darcy repeated with a half-smile, seeing the little girl's flushed face, she immediately felt good, "The fireworks are beautiful."

He continued with the little girl's relieved expression: "I've been forgetting to tell you that I really like the gift you gave me, thank you very much."

"It's fine if you like it." Circe couldn't help but raise her tail as soon as she was praised, and all her pride flowed out in her tone, "I've been thinking for a long time before I came up with this gift, all of which are made by myself made."

"The shell is made of very hard material, and," she said with a sly smile, "I guarantee it will never break."

"I dare say that there is a small mechanism that you have never discovered." Circe raised his chin, motioning him to ask questions quickly.

Darcy was happy to satisfy her. Not only did he cooperate with the question, but he also took out the pen from his coat pocket: "Maybe you'd like to demonstrate it to me yourself."

"Oh, you've got it on you!" Circe exclaimed in a low voice, but she looked very happy.

She put her fingers up on her lips on purpose, pretending to be mysterious: "Maybe we should change places."

"Such as going for a walk in the garden?" Darcy answered obediently, and got an appreciative look from the little girl.

"Mr. Gardner, can I ask Miss Circe to take me around the garden?" Darcy couldn't believe that he could get the chance to be alone so smoothly. cover up.

There is absolutely no reason for such a request to be refused.Circe immediately stood up, took the cloak and tied it up, and led Mr. Darcy into the depths of the garden.Cassandra didn't want to leave the warm room, and there was nothing to worry about taking someone out for a walk, so she just looked up at her master, then lay down on her front paws again, and curled up comfortably by the fireplace.

At this moment, Circe managed to briefly cram Williams' proposal into the corner of her mind.Although it wasn't so well stuffed, and some edges and corners were still exposed, but at least it could not affect her for the time being.

She really couldn't wait to show off that surprising little mechanism.
