[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you
Chapter 20
Sitting alone in the room after Mr. Wallace drove Kelly away, he just thought it was absurd, which had never happened to this gentleman in his life.His family protected him so well that he never saw the dark side of society. All he saw and heard was the kind and polite side of people. Even though he knew that some servants would chew their tongues, he never saw the dark side of the society. Some people want to betray even their lives, not to mention only betraying the master's secret.
Although this gentleman's education and his morality did not allow him to pry into other people's secrets, he would still toss and turn in bed at night and couldn't sleep. He got up and asked for a glass of red wine and sipped slowly, thinking Remembering how Kelly was still yelling you'll regret it before he was kicked out.
He had already believed the woman's words, there was indeed one thing he didn't know, and he couldn't lie to himself that he didn't want to know.All kinds of thoughts are spinning in his mind, what kind of secret is it?You'll regret it when he's lying in bed again with that loud "You're going to regret it!"will regret it!
After three days like this, Mr. Wallace was tortured by this sentence day and night and could not sleep peacefully. It was like a mantra in his ears, and he could no longer bear this situation.
Just after dinner that day, Mr. Wallace brought in the maid Kelly again.There was no usual kindness on his face, and his face was pale and cold.
Facing this woman who had seduced him and made him suffer in his heart, he could no longer express any more kindness, and he counted out the £300 from the drawer and still had it on her: "Speak, put this £300 secret Speak up, get out immediately after speaking, I don't want to see you again."
Kelly knew it was over when she heard that Mr. Wallace was going to see her, and now a greedy and ugly radiance bloomed on that haggard face, and she squatted on the ground ecstatically picking up the scattered pounds , you can no longer find a trace of the past on that face, the happy, innocent, kind-hearted Kelly has completely disappeared.
"Yes, sir, I promise it's worth the money!" Kelley stood in front of Mr. Wallace with the money and slowly showed a shy expression on her face. She felt as if she had been completely stripped and stood in front of this In front of Mr., his eyes were full of disgust and hatred, as if standing in front of him was not a person, but some dirty thing. She stood here accepting the judgment of these eyes, she slowly clenched With the money in his hand, it seems that he can gain strength from it.
She recalled and said: "Miss Hathaway had just recovered that day, but she was still lying on the bed very weakly. Mr. Green, the doctor invited by Master Butler from London, said after examining Miss Hathaway's body, I'm afraid The lady has already injured her body. Even if she recovers this time, her heart may not be able to support her in a long-term activity. Master Butler quickly asked what that meant, and Mr. Green said with difficulty that the lady might She will not be able to bear children in the future, her heart is not strong enough to support her to conceive a child, and her body is not strong enough to support her to complete this task even if she barely survives until the time of childbirth."
As soon as Kelly finished speaking, the room fell silent save for the crackling of logs burning in the fireplace.
Mr. Wallace stood there with a blank expression, without saying a word for a long time, while Kelly waited quietly, watching his nose, nose, nose, and heart. It took a quarter of an hour for the gentleman to find his tongue, and he opened his mouth as if I wanted to ask something, but in the end I just waved her hand feebly to let her out.
Kelly saluted respectfully and withdrew.
Mr. Wallace was extremely shocked by this news. He first doubted its accuracy, but he did not believe that the maid was so morally depraved that she would deceive him with false information, and it would do her no good to deceive him. He couldn't believe that the Butler family had hidden such important news, and he couldn't imagine what a blow it would be to the Wallace family if his future wife couldn't bear children.He circled back and forth in vain on the spot, his head almost turned into a mess, the anxiety and irritability of the past few days almost burned his rationality, but if he still had a little ability to think rationally, he would not be so hasty To do the next thing, he slammed the door hard and walked out quickly.
***************** I am the dividing line where looks determine destiny****************
Although the swelling of Hathaway's ankle has subsided, the doctor still told her not to walk as much as possible to avoid re-injury, so she didn't go downstairs for the past few days, and stayed in her room completely, and happened to avoid everyone's temptations.
Because she really made a good friend who stayed with her in her room every day, so she didn't feel that this life was much different from before the injury.This day, after Hathaway and Winnis had dinner together, Olivia also came to join in the fun. This lady decided to take the family route, so it is not enough to just attack Andrew, and then come to Heather Wei brushes favorability.So the three ended up in her room with a beautifully crafted Spillsbury jigsaw puzzle, a set of portraits of the kings of England whose correct order had to be known in order to arrange all the pieces successfully, Hathaway has played many times, so she sat smiling and watched Winnis and Olivia racking their brains for memories, pointing out their mistakes from time to time, and in the end Olivia couldn't bear it anymore and lied. Look for the Chronicle of England.
The three of them were playing puzzles noisily when they heard a knock on the door.Olivia looked at the door expectantly, hoping that the gentleman came to visit his sister again.Olivia was disappointed when she saw Mr. Wallace coming in through the door.
This gentleman was dressed casually, two buttons of his shirt were unbuttoned, revealing his fair skin. His expression seemed to be flustered, and he called Hathaway's name loudly as soon as he entered the door. He seemed to have just woken up when there were two young ladies. He pretended to be calm and saluted, and then politely asked the two young ladies to go out. He needed to talk to Hathaway alone.
Winnis looked at this gentleman very worriedly and looked at Hathaway again. She now has no trust in this gentleman. The last time this gentleman asked Hathaway to talk alone, he sprained Hathaway's foot. This time his expression was even more abnormal than last time.
Hathaway's face was very calm, she looked at Winnes comfortingly, "You two go back first, I will send someone to call you later." After the two went out as promised, Hathaway She asked Mr. Wallace to sit down again, and she poured a cup of tea for him in a gentle manner.
Mr. Wallace's expression softened a little after being infected by her. He sat in silence for a while, then took a sip of tea from his teacup, and then became anxious again: "Miss Hathaway."
"I learned a piece of news today. The source of this news is very dishonorable. Yes, it is very dishonorable. I must apologize to you. But I really can't pretend that I don't know. If I can't ask you clearly, if I can't be in I can't sleep soundly now that you know the exact answer."
Hathaway looked at Mr. Wallace in surprise. What he said really surprised her. She would never have expected that this gentleman came to ask her for proof. As for what to ask for proof, people were completely confused.
"Today I learned from an old servant in your house that..." Mr. Wallace could barely get the following words out, "I learned that there was a Mr. Green who once saw you, and he said that you I'm afraid I won't be able to bear the responsibility of giving birth." After saying these words, Mr. Wallace seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and he slumped on the chair, looking at Hathaway pleadingly.
At this time, the gentleness had peeled off Hathaway's face, and her brows had been frowned since she heard the old servant, and when Mr. Wallace finished speaking and looked at her, she had straightened her back, This usually gentle and refined lady had a solemn and serious face.
"If you have come to ask me whether this news is accurate, then I will tell you that, yes, what you have heard is true."
"If, if I propose to you that day..."
"Sorry, I have no intention of deceiving anyone, and I will not use deception in order to gain the admiration of a gentleman. I know that I cannot take on the important task of being the hostess of a manor, so I will not rush to respond to other people's feelings. I think both men and women The relationship should be established on the premise of mutual understanding and love, and I apologize if I have misunderstood you before." After saying this, Hathaway stood up and put on a gesture of seeing off the guests. He raised his jaw, his eyelids were half-closed, although he said he was sorry, there was an indescribable pride on his face.
Wallace looked deeply at Hathaway at this moment, as if he really knew this lady now, she had peeled off all the labels that the world put on her, took off the mask of gentleness, and stood in front of him. It is a proud soul.Like the angel on the murals of St. Paul's Church, her dazzling halo faded, and although her face was still flawless, it was actually arrogant and cold.
Wallace silently saluted and walked out. He already understood that there was no possibility for the two of them from now on. He knew that the Wallace family would definitely not be able to accept this lady. Yes, he knew, he knew.
But why can't he stop the sadness in his heart?Why are my eyes reddened uncontrollably?
