[Pride and Prejudice] Liz's Little Vest

It was Mr. Elton.

Mr. Elton lost his mind for a while, and after leaking the information of the author of "Pride and Prejudice" to the newspaper, he regretted his betrayal and ran to Scotland.

Elizabeth did not expect that he would come back, and it was at this time.

She couldn't tell what she felt, she was not angry, because after all Mr. Elton was the one who helped her publish in the first place; but she was disappointed because she had always trusted him so much, but was betrayed by someone she trusted.

Mr. Elton also looked at Elizabeth with a complicated expression.Charlotte felt the undercurrent between the two, and suggested that she go back to the manor first and let the two of them chat.

Elizabeth did not have much desire to have a private conversation with Mr. Elton.But after thinking about it, she agreed.In order not to embarrass Mr. Elton, and to save him from losing his reputation in Meryton.Because she believed that he was still a kind person by nature.

"Mr. Elton," said Elizabeth quietly.

She invited him into a gazebo.After waiting for him to sit down, he sat down in the farthest position from him.

"Mr. Elton, what is the purpose of your trip to Meryton this time?" Seeing that he was silent, she asked.

"I heard from Mr. Collins that Mr. Darcy held a ball in order to announce the existence of his future wife?" He kept observing Elizabeth's expression when he said this. Make a wry smile.

Elizabeth neither affirmed nor denied, and asked Mr. Elton's purpose for the second time.

"I would like to ask, Miss Elizabeth, will "Emma" and the next work still cooperate with our publisher?" Mr. Elton's voice was full of sourness.

At first, because of his impulsiveness, the author's information was leaked, and the direction of outside public opinion was not good, which caused the publication of "Pride and Prejudice" to become a problem.The publisher's collaborator didn't look very good, and even proposed to terminate the contract with Miss Elizabeth.

Mr. Elton carried it all by himself.But he didn't know how long he could delay it.

It's just that the public opinion has not fermented for a long time, and the outside world has heard that His Royal Highness the Prince Regent has praised the work.This time, the negative public opinion suddenly decreased a lot, and the publisher took advantage of this wave of limelight to make a fortune from the pre-sale.

The businessman sensed a business opportunity, and immediately asked Mr. Elton to atone for his crime, and came to persuade Miss Elizabeth to cooperate in the future.

Mr. Elton hesitated for a while, but agreed to the matter.

Elizabeth was silent for a moment, and asked, "What about the copyright fee?"

"Sixteen hundred pounds."

It is fully double the copyright fee of "Pride and Prejudice".But for Elizabeth now—in the face of her £[-] fortune—these were numbers, and she was not excited by them.

"The copyright fee for "Emma" is [-] pounds. Depending on the publication of the next work, it may be doubled." Mr. Elton added, "Miss Elizabeth, what do you think?"

"I have no problem." Elizabeth said calmly, "I am very relieved to cooperate with your company."

She meant nothing else, but Mr. Elton's words carried accusations in his ears, and made him ashamed.

"Miss Elizabeth..." Mr. Elton was very confident when he said this, "I would like to ask your forgiveness for that matter..."

Elizabeth: "I can forgive you, Mr. Elton."

Mr. Elton's eyes lit up: "Really?"

Elizabeth: "It's true."

"So—" he said cautiously, "are we still friends?"

Elizabeth paused for a moment, then sighed: "Sorry."

Having been betrayed once, she couldn't choose to trust him again.She can choose to forgive, but she cannot choose to forget.

The hope in Mr. Elton's eyes faded immediately.

"Miss Elizabeth—" He stepped forward and half knelt on the ground.I want to gently grab Elizabeth's hand and give a kiss.Elizabeth took her hand away very quickly.

"Mr. Elton, you don't have to feel guilty now. We are still very good partners."

"Okay." He took a deep breath, the disappointment in his eyes was wiped away, but there was a dull pain in his heart.He forced himself to calm down, and promised, "If there is any news about the next book, please tell me, and I will come as soon as possible."

"no problem."

The two fell into silence again.

After a long time, Elizabeth said, "Mr. Elton, it's very cold and we can't stay here for long. Let's go back to the manor first."

Mr. Elton smiled wryly: "I came here uninvited. Mr. Darcy did not invite me, and I am not suitable for the past."

Elizabeth nodded, and the two fell silent again.

After another minute, Mr. Elton said anxiously: "Miss Elizabeth... I have a question..."

Elizabeth: "You ask."

He paused again, and then asked: "The Miss Laura Baskin who met Mr. Darcy in London, should it be you?"

Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment.

The identity of Laura Baskin was not questioned by all of Meryton, including Mr and Miss Bingley, who were in London at the time.It did not occur to her that Mr. Elton guessed it all at once.

Seeing that Elizabeth did not speak, Mr. Elton assumed that she was acquiescing. He smiled wryly again, and then said: "Miss Elizabeth, it is difficult to hide the look in your eyes when you love someone. Mr. Darcy is like this, and so are you, Miss Elizabeth. I was quite sure then in London--of course, when I first heard about Mr. The first moment I saw you, I was dismissed."

Elizabeth didn't speak because she didn't know how to answer.

Fortunately, Mr. Elton didn't stay any longer. He insisted on kissing the back of Elizabeth's hand, not giving her a chance to take it away.

"I wish you good health and happiness from the bottom of my heart, my last friend, Her Royal Highness Viscount Elizabeth Bennet."

After speaking, he left without looking back.The back is a little bleak, but very determined.

Elizabeth was stunned on the spot, and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable in her heart.

However, although her words did not hurt Mr. Elton little, she did not think her words were unfeeling.Anyone who has been betrayed will have a principle and a bottom line in his heart.

After being trampled by Wickham and Collins in her previous life, this bottom line has become harder and harder—so now she will not give up, even if she feels a little uncomfortable in her heart, because she knows that Mr. Elton is a kind person in his bones .

Elizabeth sighed, thinking about the matter between herself and Mr. Elton, and just opened a new chapter.Seeing that it was getting late and Charlotte was not around, she decided to return to Netherfield Manor immediately.

However, just as she stood up, a figure flashed in front of her eyes.

Before she could react, she found herself wrapped tightly in a familiar embrace.

Feeling the stiff and heavy breathing of that person, Elizabeth's heartbeat that had just soared just now slowly dropped.

"Mr. Darcy..." she murmured, somewhat dissatisfied.

It's scary.

"You have been talking with Mr. Elton for a long time." There was also dissatisfaction in Darcy's voice.

"He came to ask me about the publication of "Pride and Prejudice" and "Emma." Elizabeth explained helplessly.

Within two sentences, Mr. Darcy had pressed her tightly against the pillar of the gazebo.

She dared not raise her head, because if she did, she would hit Darcy's jaw.She didn't dare to move, because it was obvious that if she moved, Darcy would press harder.

"Mr. Darcy..." Seeing that he did not let go, Elizabeth could only say, "Although this place is far from the manor, the moonlight is very bright tonight. We will be easily seen by others."

Darcy said nothing.

Elizabeth had no choice but to say again: "Mr. Elton didn't go far, in case he thinks of something else he wants to tell me..."

Darcy: "He already knows anyway."

Elizabeth: "Know what?"

Darcy said: "You—Her Royal Highness Viscount Elizabeth Bennet—are my future lady."

He heard it all?Elizabeth was taken aback for a moment, and the last hand kiss... Mr. Darcy wouldn't mind, would he?Because it was just a courtesy after all, and I didn't react at the time, so I didn't have time to refuse.

Darcy said: "Everyone is saying that you are the future Mrs. Darcy—"

"No—" Elizabeth corrected resignedly, "it's Miss Laura Baskin they're talking about."

Darcy said: "But that is indeed you."

Elizabeth: "..."

She was about to quibble, but found that Darcy had bent down and kissed her lips very firmly.

"I've endured it for a long time...in Longbourne...I can't see you alone...my dearest Elizabeth...I can't help myself..." Darcy said slowly between his lips and teeth.

It was destined to be a very passionate, very powerful kiss.

The author has something to say:

Darcy: What's wrong with me kissing my future wife?

I found that it seems that in my novels, the male lead has a very short lifespan QwQ, next time I will try to write a more impressive male lead~

In addition, let's push the author's next pre-received article~ I have already tested the waters and updated a chapter, and the cute little ones who are interested in time travel can learn about it!
