[Comprehensive] Mother's Responsibility

After having a lover relationship, Catherine gave many things to Marquis Christian as a matter of course. Seeing that he was very happy, Catherine shrugged. She really felt that the other party had a masochistic tendency. For a person of such quality, she Some can't understand.

In previous years, Catherine left shortly after the ball. This year, because of her companionship, she accompanied her lover through the entire dance. Therefore, the news that the Duchess of Bird finally had a lover spread throughout the upper class. In his social circle, the Prince of Wales also summoned Catherine to inquire. After getting an affirmative answer from Catherine, the philandering Prince of Wales was a little moved and wanted to establish such a relationship with Catherine, but Catherine flatly refused.

"Your Highness, I always only approve of one relationship. I am very small here, and I can only pretend to be one man at a time." Catherine's reply touching her chest made the Prince of Wales very regretful, but it made the other man feel elated.

After Marquis Christian knew Catherine's confession to him through his eyeliner, he was very happy, and took several bites of Catherine's smooth and tender hand.

"Carl, I'm leaving! I've stayed here for too long this time, and I have accumulated a lot of business to deal with." After the lingering, Catherine nestled lazily and satiated in her lover's arms.

Marquis Christian was taken aback. He felt that he couldn't leave Catherine even half a step now, so he asked bitterly, "Why don't you wait and stay for a few more days?"

Catherine stood up, planted a kiss on his face, and explained with a smile: "You know, I have three children to take care of now, and although Fitzwilliam is an adult, Anne and Georgiana are inseparable. I, you have to understand, I'm a mother, besides, shouldn't you deepen your relationship with Leo? I think our relationship is well known by now, not only Anne, he probably needs a guarantee, doesn't he? "

"My dear..." Marquis Christian looked at his lover with some guilt, and said movedly: "Ten thousand words of sorry can't make up for the guilt in my heart. Not being able to have a child with you is my biggest regret. Catherine, you really Do you not consider marrying me? I guarantee that apart from the title and land, all my property will belong to our children, and even all the income from my investment will be handed over to you, I..."

"Carl, I thought we had an agreement." Catherine looked at him calmly, and said seriously: "I won't have any more children. I promised Anne that I would only be her own mother, and I'm more I don't want my child to have any conflicts with others because of property or other things in the future, none of us can predict the future, can we?"

Marquis Christian pursed his lips and looked at Catherine, who had no eyes, and said with a wry smile: "Yes, I understand, Catherine, why are you so calm? But I can't blame you, I was the one who rejected you cruelly. , so you can be with me now, I should be content, yes, I should be content..."

For a moment, Catherine couldn't bear it. The men around her really loved her, but she really didn't want marriage. No matter how open it is now, it is still a patriarchal society. If you entrust your life's expectations to a man, you can still have affection A human man, why can't Catherine do it.Also, the elder brother William's second son didn't have any inheritance rights, so for his future, William sent him into the army... She didn't want her child to face an embarrassing situation in the future.In fact, the most important and fundamental reason is that she really didn't love him so much that she would never turn back.

After leaving London, Catherine came to Pemberley Manor. She had prepared a full explanation and wanted to tell her daughter why she had found a lover, but when she saw Anne again, she congratulated herself for finally getting rid of being single.

"Charles and William both told me that my mother needs someone to rely on. Before I can become your support, my mother can find one for herself. When I grow up, I can protect you." Anne's The explanation almost brought Catherine to tears.

Catherine kissed her daughter's immature face, and listening to her talking about the latest interesting things, the relationship between the mother and daughter was still as sweet as ever.

Seeing her mother's moved look, Annie squinted her eyes and grinned.The matter has become a fact. There is a happy smile on the mother's face. It is useless for her to oppose it. It only increases the pain of the mother and causes a rift in the relationship between mother and daughter.Annie looked at her mother's moved face, and couldn't help but think in her heart that the woman in love really didn't have a very high IQ.

"Fitz, what's wrong with you?" Anne was not disappointed because of Catherine's finding a lover, she was still as happy as before. Catherine's mood suddenly improved, and she even wrote a long letter to Marquis Christian, expressing her heart joy and pride.But just after writing the letter, I saw Fitzwilliam on the side looking a bit hesitant to speak.

"Aunt, have you fallen in love with him?" Fitzwilliam stood aside and asked hesitantly.

Catherine raised her eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then said, "Fitz, my dear child, what do you want to say?

"Auntie, the relationship between you and Liu Weisi that you wrote in the book moved me very much. Of course, I sincerely hope that you will be happy. I am not blaming you, because I thought you would end this life with longing. If You fell in love with Marquis Christian, I am very happy for you, but if you don't love him, I would like to know why you are together?" Fitzwilliam asked suspiciously.

Catherine looked at him and said with a smile: "Of course, I admire him, even like him, maybe I also love him. Fitz, you know that Lewis has been away from me for too long. There is no such thing as pure love in the world. When I want someone to rely on, Carl is by my side. He loves me and is willing to be my support and my lover. I am very happy. Human life is long and short, and I don’t want to keep Pity."

"Aren't you going to get married?" Fitzwilliam asked again, since you like each other, you should be together?

Catherine shook her head. She really felt that the nephew in front of her was a little too naive. Love is a spice of life, but not a necessity. Fairy-tale love only exists in fairy tales. If love is everything in life, it is destined to be a tragedy.Catherine looked at Fitzwilliam and decided to have a heart-to-heart talk with him. She said, "Have you read the Cinderella story I wrote, do you think they will be happy after they get married?"

"Of course, they are very in love, aren't they?" Fitzwilliam replied as a matter of course.

Catherine sighed softly, feeling that there was something wrong with his thinking, so she said: "The prince is the future king, and Cinderella will be the future queen, because her father passed away too early, and under the pressure of her stepmother, she may Can make a perfect table, maybe can mend a beautiful dress, maybe her sweet looks will bring people a good impression. But... Fitzwilliam, I think you have seen Anne and Georgiana's homework ?”

"Yes, I've seen it. Auntie, I understand what you mean. You mean that Cinderella doesn't know what Anne and the others learned from childhood, right? But as long as she is willing to learn, I think she will learn it someday." Fei Tswilliam explained.

Catherine nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, as long as she is willing to learn, I think she will learn, but before that? How many jokes will be caused by unfamiliar environment and unqualified etiquette? How many times have you been sad? The prince can accompany her to comfort her once or twice, but the prince is a prince after all, he has his own things to do, he has to learn how to manage a country, he has to think about his people, he can't be with him all the time By Cinderella's side. So she will be sad, sad... Of course, after she learns how to be a princess, I think they can continue to be happy."

"Imagine, Fitz, that you fall in love with a vivacious, lovely, attractive lady, who is charming and lovely, but who has a miserable family whose interests will make you the subject of discussion and discussion at a ball , She doesn't know how to manage a manor, and doesn't know how to understand that you can't accompany her for a long time because of busy work. What will you do? You are thinking, if I don't understand these things, what will happen to me and Annie? Annie's subsidy , Anne's title, as well as land and property will be greatly reduced because of my poor management. Without broad eyes, I will not be able to take better care of Anne and give her enough education and experience... If I don't understand these things, you How can I finish my studies with peace of mind and not worry about things at home?"

"Life is relative, and the existence of knowledge and experience is inevitable. Aristocrats may be arrogant or hypocritical, but it is undeniable that they will receive a better education than ordinary people..."

Seeing Fitzwilliam lost in thought, Catherine said nothing more!In fact, she is not dissatisfied with the love between Darcy and Elizabeth in Pride and Prejudice. In the book Elizabeth is wise and intelligent, and she is a very good woman. But because of her education and what she saw, she used her own prejudice to understand what she saw. She can misunderstand Darcy because of his arrogance, and easily believe George Wickham's lies...

If Darcy was not her nephew, she would be very happy to see such a pair of lovers united by love, but Darcy is her own child. She didn't know Darcy and Georgiana, so she couldn't understand why Darcy still To become a brother-in-law with someone like George Wickham who hurt his sister, although the times are open, there are still many restrictions on unmarried girls. The name of elopement is not a good reputation, which will affect Georgiana's life.

Of course, sometimes Catherine also thinks that she will make up for her regrets, she will teach Georgiana well, and she will completely erase the damage caused by George Wickham, but she always feels that the country is easy to change, and the Bennett family cannot change. It will not be a good marriage partner, no matter how good Elizabeth is, it cannot cover up that she has not received a good education, nor can it cover up her sisters who have not been well educated.As the saying goes, if you are ruthless, you will spoil your daughter, marry his son, and harm his whole family.
