[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

However, she hadn't taken a few steps when someone grabbed her arm violently.

"Why did you go away?"

Juliet might as well have been taken aback, stuttering and unable to speak, because Darcy seemed to be very fierce at the moment, and the fierce light in her black eyes made her tremble with fear, and she squeezed her arm hard. hand, Juliet struggled slightly, feeling that her arm must have been pinched red.

"Have you always been so impatient?" Seeing that she stopped, Darcy let go of her hand. He was at a loss for a while, and then he scowled and reprimanded her in a serious tone, "No matter how deviant you are, you should have a degree. These words should be spoken to you by men. And, after you have finished speaking, don't you have the patience to wait or don't want an answer?"

Juliet looked at him, her breathing suddenly became short of breath, and she asked in a trembling voice, "What... what do you mean?"

Darcy stared at her for a moment, then gave a short laugh. "When are you going back to London? Perhaps I'll ask Mrs. Amber's permission first?"

"Oh!" Juliet exclaimed, her face flushed, and she looked at him a little dullly, "I didn't mean it at all..."

Darcy didn't listen to what she said. He stood there for a moment with downcast eyes, and then stretched out his arm to signal Juliet to pull him up, "Juliet—please allow me to call you by your Christian name from now on. I just want to say Last sentence, I agree with you very much, lifelong ally, partner and friend. I hope you will always be so sensible in the future."

The blush gradually faded from Juliet's face. She pondered for a minute, quickly weighed the pros and cons, and then extended her hand to him, "As I said before, share life, help each other, and take responsibility for each other."

She looked calm and cold, not at all like a sweet girl who just found herself a husband.Darcy's arms tightened involuntarily, but felt that she was holding his own weight, and suddenly relaxed again, his body seemed to be filled with an indescribable feeling, very full, but too light, making people float Can't settle down.

"Let's go to Mrs. Amber," said he.

Mrs. Amber, who they were looking for, was holding on to the railing of the balcony in doubt, trying to lean down, looking at this pair of men and women who were walking arm in arm. Of course, she couldn't see anything special from this ordinary etiquette. Originally, the two sat by the flower bed for so long that Mrs. Amber felt a little bored, but suddenly Juliet left and Darcy got up suddenly, which made her a little confused, "What does this mean? Darcy Monsieur offended Juliet? Then they made up again?"

Mrs. Pinkerton also shook her head regretfully, "It's too far away here, and the wind direction is wrong, ma'am, I can't hear what they are saying at all."

"They're gone, we have to go downstairs quickly," Mrs. Amber straightened up. She patted the hem of her skirt and touched the bun on her temples. "Has it been blown by the wind?"

"Pretty well, ma'am."

Mrs. Amber returned to the living room and just sat down, but she jumped up from the sofa after hearing Darcy's words.

"Oh!" She first glanced at Mrs. Pinkerton, who also looked stunned. She frowned and looked at the young man in front of her. "How did this happen?" I believe that I didn't notice any clues under my own eyelids.

Juliet immediately sat up straight on the sofa, but Darcy spoke first, "I proposed to Juliet. She is my ideal wife, and I don't want to miss it, so I seized this opportunity."

Obviously this answer did not satisfy Mrs. Amber, she looked at Juliet who seemed to have something to say.

"Oh, aunt." Juliet received a look from Darcy - she couldn't help but find it a little funny, a few minutes ago, they were two people who had nothing to do with each other, but now they used a look to show that they were standing on the same line At the meeting, they jointly told a lie to Mrs. Amber, but Juliet didn't want to describe too much what happened just now. She just said, "Mr. Darcy is a good man."

Everyone present seemed to be waiting for her to continue, but after she finished speaking, her beautiful and innocent eyes scanned the living room, as if wondering why everyone was staring at her.

Not only Mrs. Amber was dissatisfied, but even Darcy felt a faint regret. He felt that since she was so eloquent, she could at least say a few more moving sentences, but—only such a dry sentence.

Mrs. Amber looked at the two people suspiciously. Finally, she stood up from the sofa, "It seems that I have to write to the old earl! Mr. Darcy, I hope you can pack your luggage as soon as possible. Tomorrow morning, we will Just leave for London." However, she suddenly turned around and said, "It's still sunny outside, don't you go out and continue your walk?"

Mrs. Pinkerton hurriedly gave the two of them a warm and loving smile, and invited Darcy, "Please come to Daisy for dinner, oh, I must go around the town again and see what there is. Fresh ingredients. Honey, what do you like to eat?"

"Thank you, please feel free, madam." Darcy said.

After Mrs. Pinkerton also went out, the two of them were left in the living room. At this moment, a kind of awkward silence spread between the two of them. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say. good.

Juliet sighed and stood up first, "Go for a walk, Darcy."

This is a very strange feeling. She no longer calls him Mr. Darcy as before, nor does she call him by his Christian name. However, because of this, the last pronunciation seems to be a fragrance accidentally leaked from between her lips and teeth. It was also touching and lingering, with a slight air current that made him tremble.

So he remained silent and did not correct her.

It was just past four o'clock in the afternoon, and it was not yet the time when people in Haili Town were used to walking, so there were not many people on the road. They still walked across the public lawn and walked towards Putles Village.

Juliet didn't hold Darcy's arm, she was carelessly turning a wild flower picked from the roadside with both hands in front of her, walking slowly.Darcy had to slow down his pace to cooperate with her, but he felt completely relaxed in his heart, and his thoughts became free. He even thought of answering Lady Catherine's letter a few days ago, and he could almost imagine her screaming. appearance, but once she knows Juliet's identity, maybe she will nod in satisfaction.He couldn't help being glad that he had found a wife who could satisfy Lady Catherine—and Darcy would feel extremely guilty about always failing her good intentions.

They came across another couple who were walking, however.

Juliet was a little surprised to see Miss Bingley walking towards her proudly holding Mr. Quvez's arm, and what was even more surprising was that Mr. Quvez also flattered her wholeheartedly.

The pair saw Juliet and Darcy.

Mr. Traves gave them an impatient look, then looked away—or guilty, it seemed to Juliet.

But Miss Bingley gave Darcy a meaningful look, with a smug expression on her face, she still greeted Juliet with a haughty attitude, "Miss Stoke, are you taking a walk with your teacher again?"

"Oh, yes." Juliet glanced at her with a strange expression, "Mr. Darcy is not only my painting teacher, but also my mentor in life."

Miss Bingley couldn't help sneering twice, she had already seen the difference in the relationship between the two people, thinking that Darcy, the man she had put so much thought into, had mercilessly rejected her, that's why she let herself be under the bridge just now. It took a lot of determination to make a decision-to marry this fat pig-like man beside her, but Charles showed a happy and silly look, and she felt a little uncomfortable, so she decided to add trouble to them and deserve them When she met her, she covered her mouth and smiled pretendingly, and said to Darcy, "You are really in love, Mr. Darcy, and your preferences have not changed. This one can talk just like the previous one."

After she finished speaking, she proudly took Mr. Quvis's thick arm and walked away with swaying steps.

Juliet stared at her back for a while, and suddenly said, "She walks like this without straining her legs, and her head is raised too high. It's not stable at all and it doesn't look good. I guess, her legs will throb later. slippery."

Sure enough, after walking a certain distance like this, Miss Bingley swayed, and then her waist swayed a little less.Juliet smiled contentedly, but when she turned her head, Darcy looked at her expressionlessly.

"Isn't there anything else you want to notice but Miss Bingley's way of walking?" said he.

"Focus on what?"

"I found that playing dumb is a skill you are particularly good at." Darcy was a little annoyed. "After listening to what Miss Bingley just said, don't you want to ask me a little bit?"

Juliet looked at him, "Because it's too *, and I thought everyone would have a secret they didn't want others to know."

Darcy felt that he was a little unreasonable, and there seemed to be an indisputable anger burning in his heart, "It's no secret, Juliet, this is a problem you have to face - because of who you are now, you will definitely be in the future." Meeting someone as boring as Miss Bingley is messing with our future partnership - you should clear it up!"

Juliet looked at him with some amusement, "Darcy, you are now teaching me, your current fiancée, to try to figure out your secrets—or in other words, your past relationships and marriages?" She looked at Darcy black as Pan Tan's face couldn't help but burst out laughing, "Don't be so serious, Darcy, I don't care at all, you don't have to worry about someone being able to destroy our alliance relationship - of course the internal rupture doesn't count." She tried her best After thinking about it, I tried to appease him, "Since you said that this is an unavoidable question, and because I refused to answer my opinion that day, you refused my invitation to afternoon tea—since the identities are different, then my Let me just talk about the last one. To be honest, I probably know your past deeds, which are very romantic and extremely moralistic," she smiled shyly, "but I take it as a story, but the ending is not too happy. gone."

Darcy listened to her with a blank expression, and he said emphatically, "You are fine!" After speaking, he strode forward.

Juliet chased after two steps, but failed to catch up, so she simply slowed down and walked on her own. However, after only a short while, the black figure in front came back angrily, and pulled Juliet's arm around her own. in the crook of your arm.
