don't touch my darcy

Chapter 31 A Man Like A Nightmare

On the second day after receiving the invitation letter, Lancer Sulton replied to Elizabeth with a personal letter, saying that several of his friends still live in Rose Manor and will not leave until this weekend, and they are all interested in the famous Pemberley Manor is full of longing, whether Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Darcy allow themselves to take them to the dinner together, and reassure that their friends are all upright people.

Elizabeth thought that Wickham and Lydia were still in Longbourn, so she told her husband what Lancer meant.

In addition to hating Wickham, Darcy had a good impression of the Shaltons and their friends, and naturally agreed to everything.

So Elizabeth immediately wrote back, expressing her husband and herself sincerely waiting for the guests to come.

Friday was a sunny day. In the evening, the sunset reflected the sunset glow, rendering the beautiful golden red color from the horizon to the sky over Pemberley Manor, making this ancient building even more magnificent.The wide verdant lawn and the sparkling lake water extending under the steps add a bit of freshness and softness to it.

The servant came to report that the carriages of the guests had passed the intersection ahead, the cook and the maids got busy, and Darcy and Elizabeth came to the terrace in front of the mansion to welcome their guests.

Miss Darcy followed behind her brother and sister-in-law, and she admired Miss Sulton more and more.

The guests arrived outside the gate in three carriages, where Mrs. Reynolds had led the servants to greet them first.

The Darcys and Georgiana watched the guests getting out of the car one after another from a distance. When a cheerful figure jumped into Elizabeth's eyes, she was taken aback for a moment, and then had a very bad premonition.

In the twilight, Elizabeth still wasn't sure that the figure was Lydia, but when she got closer, the restless walking posture and the faintly audible wanton laughter made her almost sure that Lidia Dia is also here, and there is a tall young man in a red military uniform behind him, most likely Wickham!

Darcy also seemed to see something wrong. Why were there other women accompanying Mrs. Shalton and Miss?

He frowned slightly, and looked up, trying to see the figure more clearly, when he heard Elizabeth whispering in his ear: "Honey, look... is that person Lydia?"

"What?" Darcy's expression changed suddenly, and Huo's immediate reaction was to turn his head and stare at his sister behind him.

"Ah, brother?" Georgiana was taken aback, and Mr. Darcy's expression looked a little scary.

"Hi, Lizzie, Lizzie—" Lydia also saw Elizabeth, waved at her, and ran over first.

Now it is completely clear, who is it that is not Wickham who is chasing Lydia step by step?

A strong resentment immediately rushed into Darcy's heart. He was completely unable to calmly think and ask what was going on, so he growled and asked Elizabeth, "You are allowed to call them too!"

"Honey, I had no idea they were also at the Rose Manor..." Elizabeth felt a bitterness in her throat and didn't know how to explain it.

"Why, what's the matter, brother, Lizzie?" Georgiana hadn't seen the situation below, and she couldn't understand why the brother and sister-in-law suddenly quarreled.

"I tell you, I will drive him away!" Darcy gritted his teeth.

"Oh, don't be like this, what will Baron Salton think?" Darcy's face turned greener and greener as soon as the guests arrived, which made Elizabeth flustered.

She was also panicked by Wickham's arrival, but anyway, Lydia was innocent and her own sister, and Elizabeth didn't want her to lose face in front of everyone.

Besides, if Darcy really keeps the Wickhams away, wouldn't it make the Salton family too embarrassing?If it is spread out, it will also cause considerable damage to the reputation of Pemberley and Darcy.

Worst of all, if Wickham and Lydia got into a public row out of control, the poor story of Georgiana might be known.

After quick thinking, Elizabeth made a decision, and she said to Darcy as calmly as possible: "Please be calm, my dear, all the guests here are our guests. Don't worry, I promise that such a thing will never happen again There is a second time."

After she finished speaking, she took a step back, gently pulled Georgiana's hand, held her arm, patted her cool palm, and comforted her softly, "Don't worry, honey, I will always be by your side .”

"But, Lizzie, what's the matter?"

"Georgianna, you are the best girl, and any unpleasantness is over."

Without Elizabeth's clear answer, Georgiana became more and more uneasy, not to mention seeing her brother's back, she clenched her fists tightly, obviously trying to hold back something.

"Lizzie, I didn't tell you that I was coming, I just wanted to surprise you!" Lydia held up her skirt and ran up dozens of stairs happily like a deer, and threw herself on Elizabeth's neck, screaming and screaming Jump.

"Come on, Lydia." Elizabeth was still on Miss Darcy's arm, and even Georgiana was almost staggered by her tugging.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Lydia rolled her eyes and smiled happily at Miss Darcy, "You are Miss Darcy, right? I'm Lydia Wickham, Lizzie's youngest sister , but the first of the sisters to marry."

"Lydia Wei, Wick..." Georgiana's pupils shrank, and she couldn't speak fluently.

Even though she didn't know at the moment that that person was about to appear in front of her eyes, this surname alone had been a nightmare that had entangled her for many years.

"Lydia Wickham." Lydia felt a little contempt in her heart.

This Miss Darcy was of good birth and good looks, but she was so ungenerous that she couldn't even speak to strangers.

"Thanks to the generosity of both of you, Mr. Darcy and Mrs. Darcy, I hope that our adventurous arrival will not cause any trouble to the family." The guests walked onto the terrace one after another, and Baron Sulton greeted the Darcys first.

"How come, my wife and I feel honored to have you here here." Mr. Darcy reluctantly responded, but his eyes were fixed on Wickham who was standing beside Lancer.

He had restrained himself to the extreme, so as not to throw this fellow out on the spot, but he also made up his mind that if Wickham did anything inappropriate, especially if it hurt Georgiana, he would never be polite to him again.

Even if Pemberley's reputation is damaged for a while, he will not let Georgiana suffer more harm!

Wickham also seems to be very smart, knowing what to do so as not to anger Darcy, that is, just be an ordinary accompanying guest honestly.

Therefore, behind Baron Sulton, he bowed to the Darcy couple like other guests, and only gave a hint of smile to his childhood companion and aunt, expressing his sincere affection.

Although Elizabeth made bad plans, she also had a little luck, hoping that after three years, the shadow of that past event in Georgiana's heart has faded a lot.

But her luck was in vain. When Georgiana's shy eyes swept over the guests one by one, and finally landed on that handsome face, Elizabeth felt her arms suddenly tightened, and it hurt to be caught. , I heard Miss Darcy's "Ah" cry in horror.
