[Pride and Prejudice] Plain water

Mr. Darcy knew very well that his health was not very good. He hoped that he could see his son start a family and start a business. At the same time, he did not hope that after his death, someone would rely on the old man to do something that would be detrimental to their property behind Darcy's back. After all, Darcy just They haven't got a firm foothold yet after graduation. With him by his side to guide them, they can't do anything. After his death, everyone wants to take a share of the Darcy family's property. I don't know if Darcy can do it.

And the best way is to get married, and the most suitable candidate is Anne. When the Duke de Bourgh passed away, Lady Catherine was not enough to support a family. Owed a favor to Mr. Darcy.The support of Anne's family is enough to help Darcy prevent others from making things difficult after his death.But Anne is too young to marry now, but engagement is always possible.

As for Georgiana, who was too young, he only hoped that she would grow up happily, and Darcy loved her very much, so he didn't have to worry about her being wronged. Seeing her get married, he couldn't count on it.There is another reason for choosing Anne. The relationship between Anne and Georgiana has always been very good. When Anne and Darcy are together, there is no need to worry about conflicts between their aunts.

Just thinking of this, on this day, while Annie and the others were there, Mr. Darcy called Darcy into the study while the iron was hot and had a conversation.

"I hope you and Annie are engaged." Mr. Darcy expressed his intention directly as soon as he spoke.

"Father, did something happen?" Hearing what his father said, Darcy was very puzzled. Although he liked Annie, he didn't need to be so anxious. Could it be that something bad happened.

"I, I know my own body. I don't have many days left. I'm afraid. What will happen after I die? Although your aunt owes me a favor, she doesn't promise to help you with all her strength. You and Anne are together. It's different, she will definitely help Anne." Mr. Darcy sighed, and explained to Darcy earnestly.

"Father won't, you are in good health." Darcy heard his father say that he was not worried about his health. Even though he said so, he also knew that Mr. Darcy's health was indeed getting worse year after year.

Mr. Darcy knew that Darcy was comforting him, "Okay, I know my own body, I hope you can get married now, so I can rest assured."

"Even if my father is like this, I can handle it myself. I don't want Anne to be with me for this reason." Darcy really didn't want Anne to be with him for this reason. He wanted Anne to be with him willingly.

"Well, you can figure it out." Mr. Darcy sighed seeing Darcy's resolute look and still supported Darcy's choice.

Looking at his father's worried look, Darcy felt uncomfortable.When he walked out of the study and saw Annie playing with Georgiana in the hall, Darcy decided to give it a try. He walked up to Annie and said to Annie, "Annie, I have something to tell you, can you come out and play?"

Anne stopped playing with Georgiana and heard Darcy say that it felt very important, so she nodded and followed Darcy to the garden.

"Annie, my father wants us to get engaged." Darcy was a little unnatural, but he still expressed his intention directly.

Annie was a little shy when she heard about the engagement, but she was looking forward to it, so she asked directly, "What about you?"

"I, I also hope that you can get engaged to me," Darcy also expressed his attitude, and said immediately, "Of course you don't want me to..."

"I am willing." Darcy answered before he could play with Anne, and then he felt that he was too embarrassed and lowered his head in embarrassment.

Hearing Annie's answer, Darcy felt as unreal as a dream. Annie laughed when she saw Darcy's gaffe, and Darcy was very happy when he woke up, and he didn't know what to do.
