don't touch my darcy

Chapter 24 Will This Marriage Work?

By the time the Darcys, and Bennett and the daughters, arrived in town, the church was already buzzing with curiosity about the new addition to one of the most prominent families in the Pemberleys.

When Mrs. Darcy walked into the church with her husband on her arm, at least half of the eyes were on her, accompanied by kind pointers and discussions.

"Take it easy, Lizzie." Darcy whispered to reassure his wife.

"How could it be? When I was in London, the church Aunt Gardiner took me to was several times bigger than this one, with at least a thousand people."

Elizabeth talked and laughed with Darcy calmly, maintaining an easy-going smile on her face, and would nod to the residents who dared to greet her from time to time.

For Elizabeth, it was not entirely for the sake of "Mrs. Darcy", but the warm and simple residents of this town really made her feel very happy.

Accompanied by Mrs. Reynolds, Georgiana, who followed closely behind her brother and sister-in-law, was much more nervous, her flushed face drooping slightly, and she did not dare to respond to the enthusiasm of others.

It is not the first time that Miss Darcy went to the town to worship with her brother, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, she was still unavoidably shy, and she felt more and more admiration and envy for her sister-in-law. How could she be calm in front of anyone and in any situation? What about Ziroom?

Pastor Short greeted them and led the group to the right seat in the front row. The Salton family and Lancer's friends were already sitting on the left seat.

Glancing at it, seeing that Wickham and Lydia were not among them, the stone in Elizabeth's heart fell to the ground.

Seeing the arrival of Darcy's family, the Saltons hurried forward with their children to say hello, especially Mrs. Salton, who graciously took Georgiana's hand and asked her if she was feeling better.

Under the frequent hints from his mother, Lancer Shalton also took the initiative to greet Georgiana, and said that if Miss Darcy had recovered, he and Ivy very much welcome her to Rose Manor as a guest.

Mrs. Sulton had praised Miss Darcy in front of her son more than once, saying that with Pemberley's wealth and power and Miss Darcy's appearance, this would be the most ideal marriage he could get.

The beautiful, slender, quiet and shy Georgiana left a good impression on Lancer, but it was not enough to tempt him, who had a lot of knowledge. In other words, the women he admired should be as bright and kind as Mrs. Darcy. type of intelligence.

After greeting Miss Darcy, Lancer politely greeted the Darcys, Mrs. Bennet and the ladies.

Mrs. Bennett was disappointed that she did not see her dear daughter and son-in-law. She worriedly asked Lanser if her Lydia was ill. Mr. Sulton and Miss Sulton, thank the family for their kindness, but don't let Lydia go too crazy.

Until this moment, Miss Salton replied with a little arrogance and a little kindness, that she and Lancer are both modest people, please rest assured that Mrs. Bennett.

Before, she had been carrying a flower basket, standing quietly beside Mrs. Sulton, watching these people's contrived and long-winded exchanges and greetings with cold eyes. She knew very well that as a lady of a famous family, she only needed to observe the due etiquette. It is necessary to join in the fun and show off the limelight.

Isn't Mr. Darcy most disgusted by those women who like to show their faces, yell, and lack education?

As soon as he stepped into the church, he only had a few words, and he looked as dignified and reserved as himself!

Finally, Miss Salton handed the flower basket to Elizabeth, "Mrs. Darcy, I was honored to visit Pemberley last week. I see that you should like to decorate your room with flowers. These are freshly cut roses. I hope you can like."

"Ah, thank you." Elizabeth was taken aback, and took the flower basket. She did not expect that Miss Sulton would give herself a gift.

However, this basket of roses of various colors is indeed very elegant and charming, and she is not used to speculate on other people's friendly behavior, even the doubtful Miss Sulton.

The children of the church school came to the stage one after another, ready to sing hymns. Elizabeth hurriedly handed the flower basket to Mrs. Reynolds, but when she turned around, she saw Darcy staring at the flower basket with rare soft eyes, and her appreciation was obvious.

Elizabeth suddenly remembered that roses were Mrs. Darcy's favorite flower, and what her husband respected and missed most were his dead parents.

If Miss Sulton did it on purpose, then it really proved my guess about her. This smart girl cares a lot about Mr. Darcy's feelings.

Kitty looked around curiously, and Mrs. Bennet soon started chatting with the people around her. Only Mary left the crowd silently, sat down in the most inconspicuous seat in the front row, lowered her head, and tried her best not to look at the sofa. Mr. Leighton.

No, she had sneaked a peek once, when Lancer greeted Georgiana tenderly.

When the two of them stood facing each other, even Mary felt that the brightness was so bright that it hurt her eyes. For a young man as outstanding as him, only the beautiful, kind and rich Georgiana was worthy of him.

"Baby, what's the matter with you?" Mrs. Bennet sat down beside Mary, seeing that she was about to bury her head in her arms, and asked with concern.

"It's okay, Mom." Mary forced a smile and shook her head.

After everyone was seated, the church bell rang. At this time, Pastor Short hurried to the front row and asked any kind lady or lady present who could play the piano accompaniment for the children in the choir. Sister Susan, suddenly felt uncomfortable.

When he said this, Pastor Short looked at Miss Sulton, because at the dance a few days ago, he had already enjoyed the wonderful music played by this lady, and he believed that she had a kind and fraternal heart. .

It's a pity that Miss Sulton's smile was dignified and gentle, but she sat still, completely unable to see the meaning of helping.

Playing for the choir, which nuns did, was quite out of character for her, and Miss Sulton did not think that Mr. Darcy would appreciate the act of playing the piano in full view.

Pastor Short's expression was somewhat disappointed. Elizabeth hesitated for a while, and was about to stand up when she heard a timid voice from the end of the row of seats, "If you don't mind, I think I can do it, Pastor ..."

"Mary?" Elizabeth really didn't think about it.

"You are such a warm-hearted person, my baby." Mrs. Bennet praised her daughter in time and reminded others.

Mary's volunteering was also beyond Darcy's expectation, but although her attitude was a bit shy and not generous enough, it was more contrived than when he first met Mary at the Longbourne ball. Stupid show off is so much better.

So Darcy didn't intend to stop Mary, on the contrary, he was very happy that she could help Pastor Short, otherwise he would be even more uncomfortable if his wife sat in front of the piano and let the audience point and poke him.

"Oh, Miss Bennett, thank you so much, God bless you!" Pastor Short was heartily pleased.

In the applause of the audience, Mary walked to the stage and hid herself behind the piano.

See that Mr. Darcy is also applauding?

Miss Sulton couldn't help regretting, and felt puzzled, her imagination and the performance of the male god seemed to be different?
