[Pride and Prejudice] Second Marriage

The arrival of Miss Margaret relieved Juliet's tension to a great extent.She herself hadn't figured it out before, but she encountered everyone's careful care, which made her a little out of breath.

Mrs. Reynolds was the first to see this sensitively. She slightly restrained her joy about this matter and began to pay attention to the situation of the pregnant woman itself.She felt that it would be great to have someone she knew by her side at such a moment.

Along with Miss Margaret is Donna, a young girl who has been Juliet's playmate and personal maid since she was 12 years old. She knows every habit of Juliet without hiding her innocent and enthusiastic nature, and her ability to adapt to Pemberley Even better than her mistress - after swapping an out hat with May, she's already made her first friend in Pemberley.

"Miss," she said, always forgetting that someone told her to change her address, "May told me that since she got the good news, her mother's prayer before meals now has to add a sentence, praying for your health," her Hands quickly arranged Juliet's loose bun, looked at her face in the mirror, and said with satisfaction, "I have to tell Mei that her mother's prayers are still very effective."

"She is so kind, you must thank her for me." Juliet seemed very happy. Although she had never met May's mother, residents of the town and village would often send things to Pemberley these days, or Thin gingerbread cookies from your home, or a small handful of beets from your own yard—these are all good morning sickness curbs, according to their owners.Mrs. Reynolds told her new things in the village and the warm greetings from the residents every day, which made her feel that Pemberley was not so impersonal.

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but since the news of her pregnancy was confirmed, in just a few days, Juliet looked at herself in the mirror, and seemed to feel her face rounded—or it might be because her appetite gradually returned.

"He's just a little villain." Thinking of the painful experience of the first two days, she patted her belly with her hand affectionately - this action made Donna stare at her with wide eyes, as if she wanted to pounce on her and hold her tightly hand like.

Juliet laughed out loud.

At this time, Darcy couldn't laugh at all.Carl's words at the cemetery kept coming back in his mind.Although he was on his way, almost every moment, his thoughts remained on the questioning of these words in his heart.He studied Carl's words over and over again, at first he was reluctant to believe, but the more he studied, the more he felt that it confirmed every action of Juliet.

Her unkindness, her inaction, her optimism, her ability to quickly adjust her emotions after a quarrel——Darcy finally knew the reason why he could never feel satisfied no matter how enthusiastic that soft body was afterwards ——Juliet is watching with cold eyes, she is indifferent, she has not put herself into this marriage at all!

She said it nicely—a lifelong friend and partner, helping each other and trusting each other, but in fact, she only sees herself as an employer.The way she looked at herself—calmly, connivance and helplessness of occasional charity, as if she was a weird old man with many demands, and she was the most tolerant subordinate!

Darcy's lungs are about to explode from the conclusion he drew. He doesn't care about Karl's conclusions like "she is not capable of love". These are all hypocritical nonsense in his opinion. All you have to do is treat him as your husband!

He was so eager to correct Juliet's wrong attitude in her marriage that he ignored the wacky smiles and whispers of people looking at him as he rode through town, and the many people standing in the road. While waving hats, the greeting was more enthusiastic than usual.

He jumped off his horse, dropped the rein, and ignored it as it began to roam carelessly over the beautiful Pemberley lawn, and immediately rushed into the living room—at this time, he knew that there was a good chance that Juliet would be here.

His movements were eager, and his face serious—he was always so serious that the women sitting in the living room didn't care, thinking he'd gotten the good news in town Faux pas can be forgiven.

Both Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Margaret look at Juliet with smiles on their faces, implying that she has to tell Darcy herself that he will have another identity-an ecstatic father.

Looking at Darcy, Juliet inevitably felt a strange tension.A few days later, there was an unexpected but not unexpected little life between them.Seeing his face again, Juliet felt that something was different, and her chest was filled with some kind of strange emotion, which made her want to throw herself into his arms—she admitted that she had missed him a little these days .It even occurred to her that it was entirely for her honor that he had rushed to London in such a busy and tireless way.She can start by expressing her gratitude.

"You're back, Darcy." Her voice trembled a little because of strange emotions she had never experienced before, and she was trying to control her emotions, which made the expression on her face a bit strange and distorted—like Want to cry and laugh.

However, before she could say a second word of thanks - which took her a great deal of courage, Darcy had already spoken - his voice was cold, with obvious sarcasm, "Why? Now Even your expression is not dedicated? Does it make you feel embarrassed to see me? These days, living alone must be very relaxed and comfortable. "

He obviously didn't think so in his heart, and he didn't want to say it out loud, but the first time he saw her embarrassed expression - what fell into his eyes was the impatience that he couldn't hide in the future, which made his restrained anger mixed with disappointment Harshly broke out.

His words were so unexpected that no one could understand what he meant—except Juliet, who looked at him in surprise, her lips moved slightly, and then tightened again.

Again her silence and inaction stung Darcy's eyes.He could see clearly that her lips moved quickly, playfully and sweetly, every time it was an insignificant matter.But once it got to the core of the problem, she immediately closed the hard shell like a shell, making it impossible for people to see the pure white secret like a pearl in her heart.

Darcy felt disheartened at this moment, and he also forgot the great ambition he had burned from time to time along the way-he wanted to be a real couple with Juliet.He looked at Juliet's silence, and the beautiful eyes that looked away, laughed mockingly, turned around and walked out of the living room a little dejectedly.

Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Margaret stood on the ground and looked at each other for a while, and immediately acted with a clear goal. She hurriedly hugged Juliet and chased out of the living room.

Miss Margaret watched Mrs. Reynolds walk out of the living room quickly, and sat down beside Juliet after a moment of silence.

"I'm fine." Juliet looked at her, she said, but suddenly, a teardrop slipped from her blue eyes, caught off guard, it was like a beginning, the lake in her eyes seemed to be in the rainy season , couldn't hold too many tears, rolling down her cheeks in succession.

"Oh, dear," Miss Margaret called her softly, opening her arms.

Juliet threw herself into her arms as if she had been wronged many years ago. In Miss Margaret's warm embrace, Juliet cried heartily—there are many such situations Many years ago, it was the first time that Juliet showed affection to Julian clumsily, but he took it as a prank.

Miss Margaret stroked her back tenderly, but her eyes were full of deep thought.

Mrs. Reynolds held up her skirt and quickly caught up with Darcy. She accused her severely, "Mr. Darcy, you have to reflect on your attitude! I have never seen you so impolite...you treat me like this Your wife is an insult!"

Darcy stopped. "Oh, Mrs. Reynolds, you don't understand, you won't understand, she won't mind," he repeated in a strange tone, "I'm sure she doesn't And don't care how I treat her."

This seems to be mixed with a deep painful tone, which made Mrs. Reynolds a little confused, but she didn't care about it. She quickly said, "Then she is pretending to be strong, and this is her beautiful quality! How can anyone not care about themselves? husband talking to himself in such an insulting manner? I can't believe you would be so mean to your own wife."

Darcy smiled sarcastically, and went on, "Look, that's what she has! She can be liked by anyone if she wants to. But she just doesn't want to treat her husband with any sincerity!"

Mrs. Reynolds' face flushed with anger from his attitude, "You idiot!" She stopped, looked at his back, and finally couldn't help but utter a harsh word out loud.

It was strange for Darcy to invite Mrs. Reynolds to accuse him so much, and he even felt that his wife was quite charming. In just a few days, he would be able to subdue the upright and serious Mrs. Reynolds.

How did he know that it wasn't really Juliet's fault at all?

He strode forward, leaving Mrs. Reynolds behind.He returned to his room, ordered his servants to put the hot water in, and stuffed himself in the steaming water without thinking about anything.

It wasn't until he came out of the bathroom that he realized that the room was quite different.

Dressing table—Darcy swears he has never had such feminine furniture in his previous room, a pair of pearl earrings and an ivory comb lie quietly in the most obvious place; a dress or two is scattered on the back of the chair , there are a few books piled up in an irregular manner on the bedside table, and there is even a half-opened book lying upside down by the pillow—all traces of Juliet.

He covered his eyes with his hands and stood there for a while. After a few minutes, he moved, quickly opened the door, and strode downstairs.

The entire building was silent, and Juliet was no longer in the living room, so he grabbed a servant and asked her if she knew where his wife had gone.

"Sir, she has gone for a walk, and she is accompanied by Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Margaret all this time."

When Darcy heard the answer, he was inevitably disappointed, but he quickly cheered up——Juliet's reaction was completely in his expectation, but even so, lying alone on a bed at night, he no longer felt like Juliet Compared with that expected disappointment, it was nothing at all.

He hurried out of the mansion and almost turned around the manor, even walking behind the most remote hills and rocks, but he didn't meet them.

When he returned to the building again, it was already time to hold the lamps.

There was still no Juliet on the long dining table, and Miss Margaret was also absent. Only Mrs. Reynolds ordered the servant to serve Darcy with a serious face.

Darcy coughed twice, trying to call her attention, but Mrs. Reynolds didn't even look at him.

When the first soup was served, Darcy couldn't sit still. He moved the spoon by his hand and asked, "Isn't Juliet eating supper?"

"I thought you had left your wife behind, Mr. Darcy," said Mrs. Reynolds.

Ignoring her sarcasm, Darcy repeated his question stubbornly, "Isn't she eating dinner?"

Sophie took a bold look at Mrs. Reynolds, and replied, "Sir, Ma'am, she's not feeling well, she's already gone to bed."

Darcy rose sharply from the table.

However, when he returned to the bedroom, he did not see Juliet, and even the books beside the bed were gone.This made him a little panicked.

Mrs. Reynolds stood quietly behind him, looking at his slightly bewildered look, she couldn't bear it, "Please forgive me for my harsh words in the afternoon, sir. But I really don't understand why you are so extreme—— Your attitude towards your second wife was too harsh. I don't want to go into the details of what happened between you, but I don't think anything bigger than the child in Juliet's womb, he is Pemberley's hope."

Darcy looked back at her blankly, he seemed to feel that his eyes, ears... all senses seemed to be covered with a layer of fog, "...I don't quite understand, what are you talking about?"

"Oh, I'm afraid you must realize your mistake, Juliet is still a young girl..."

"No, no, I don't want to hear this," Darcy interrupted him, and he stared intently into Mrs. Reynolds' eyes, "you said that Juliet has a... child..."

"You don't know?" Mrs. Reynolds was surprised now.

"Why didn't you write to me!" Darcy couldn't believe his ears. It took him twice as long as usual to digest the meaning of the words. He rushed out of the room past Mrs. Reynolds, turned back half a second later, "Which damn room did she move to?"

Mrs. Reynolds turned back to his question quite calmly. "The room at the farthest end of the corridor, sir."
