The more Scarlett thought about it, the more angry she became, her pretty face became tense, and the flames of hatred were burning in her green eyes, which frightened Ellen, and her usually gentle and quiet face became anxious Getting up, she raised her hand to stroke her daughter's cheek, and asked softly, "What's the matter?"

"Mom." Scarlett raised her face and looked at her mother and called out, holding her soft and slightly rough palm with her small hand, her black eyelashes trembling, but her tone was firm.

"Mum, that Jonas Wilkerson can't stay."

Ellen was a little surprised when she heard her daughter's words, not because of Scarlett's attitude towards Jonas, but because of her whole expression, which is not something a 16-year-old girl can possess.

"Can you tell me why? Baby." Ellen took her daughter's hand and went into the room. They sat on the sofa, their long skirts dragging on the ground like duckweed. Ellen tidied up her daughter's dress Her warm hands brushed the hair on her daughter's cheeks, and her tone became gentle again. Gerald loved his wife, and this love was mixed with a tinge of admiration compared to ordinary people. Because of Ellen's solemn and steady temperament, her not strong body is the pillar of the whole manor, and of course it is also Scarlett's. The latter held her hand, her green eyes were wet, but her mouth was not choked , but tough.

"Because he and Amy Slattery are not qualified to accept your kindness."

"Do you think Amy's child is Wilkerson's?" Ellen asked. She actually knew in her heart that it was probably true, and she was not optimistic about Jonas Wilkerson either. He's a good player, but this man's tricks are not legitimate, but he didn't make any mistakes before, and Ellen, who is kind-hearted by nature, doesn't want Gerald to expel the other party casually.

"Yes, mom, a man doesn't even have the courage to admit his child, and doesn't even frown for him when the child dies. Mom, why do we keep such a person? He has nothing to do with that dirty white man's daughter. Why do you have to bear the physical act." Scarlett said angrily.

"Scarlett, you can't say that about a girl." Ellen looked at her daughter with disapproving eyes, but her words were not too harsh. In Scarlett's words, who did her mother criticize in her life? She has hardly even spoken loudly. Such a kind and gentle person, why did God take her life early?

"If she loves that man, she should find a way to get him to marry her, instead of hiding in the house alone to give birth to him, and that man is not even willing to admit that he is the father of the child, mom, I look down on such a woman Well, as for Jonas Wilkerson, I don't even want to look at him." Scarlett said coldly, with indifference in her green eyes, she never denied her mockery of the same sex, she Hate Sullen's stupidity, Hate Honey's arrogance, but never despise a woman, but Amy Slattery Yes, she has no brains, crazy about love, these are nothing, Scarlett can't stand it It's her kind of ungratefulness, it's okay for a woman to be selfish, Scarlett always thinks that because she's one of those people herself, but Amy Slattery has one man in his life and sees everyone else as a pedal A woman is a damned existence.

Ellen patted her daughter's little hand. She didn't understand why her daughter knew about this, and she didn't understand why she was so determined to fire Wilkerson all of a sudden, but she was right, her youthful face was already She learned some of the most right things, bold and direct, words she dared think but dared not say when she was Miss Robillard.

"My dear Scarlett, I've always wanted you to be a lady, and I ask you to behave like a lady, but I can't control your thoughts, and I don't even want to, because they are so precious , and I once had it."

Scarlett looked at her mother with surprised eyes, and her gentle eyes revealed pride, which was rarely available to her, because although her mother loved her, she seldom left such eyes to her daughter They, even anyone she knew, even looked at her father with respect.

"Strange?" Ellen smiled. She held her daughter in her arms and patted her back gently. "My baby girl has grown up."

Growing up, this is the second time Scarlett heard it, the first time it was from her father, and now her mother also said the same, she used to think she had grown up, of course, she had suffered so much and had grown up Having had a child in marriage, Scarlett originally thought that if this is not considered growing up, then what is it? Now, after hearing what her parents said, she suddenly hesitated. Regarding the meaning of growing up, the young Austrian For the first time, Miss Halla showed a look of bewilderment.

"I wish I was half as brave as you when I was young." Ellen sighed softly. Scarlett was in her mother's arms. She couldn't understand Ellen's expression at the moment. The strap on the mother's chest asked the other party in a curious voice of a little girl.

"Why do you say that?"

"I can't tell you about this right now, but I think I can tell you when you grow up a bit, if you're still curious." Ellen said in a gentle tone.

"Mom, you just said that I have grown up, and now you are saying that when I grow up, you have confused me." Scarlett complained, she would never understand her mother's mind, But one thing she understands is that this incomprehension is not just a matter of age, it is a reason that she may not understand for the rest of her life.

Ellen just smiled when she heard her daughter's complaint, and the corners of her mouth had a soft arc, "I said you grew up because of your bravery, if you like someone, you have to tell them, no matter what the end result is, if you do this at least No regrets, I'm proud of you, Scarlett, I don't think any girl in this town is as brave as you, but it's not enough, baby, if you have this kind of awareness, you can only say that you can get a good love , but not at all for marriage."

"Mom, why did you bring up this issue." Scarlett broke free from Ellen's arms, and she looked at him with dissatisfied eyes, because Ellen didn't pay attention to her words. "That Wilkerson..."

"Okay, baby, that's not important." Ellen gently interrupted her daughter's words. She kept a pleasant smile all the time, and that smile was contagious, calming Scarlett unconsciously. Now the latter's mood is completely occupied by confusion.
