[Gone with the Wind] Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 26 Voices

The man knelt in front of Scarlett, his sincere eyes revealed hope, and he took a deep breath to relieve his tension. "After all, it's the first marriage proposal."

"This is not a good time to propose - I just got out of prison and you still need Tara's tax money..." He said: "But you must forgive me for being anxious and afraid. I have a principle of my own , Scarlett, I have always followed my heart, I am loyal to it and never cheated it, at least I thought so, but after I met you I found out that I was wrong. Because, if I really obey my heart and Instead of trying to control it, I would have taken you from you at the wedding of your first marriage. I've never had anything in my life that I've ever regretted, except for that one. Earlier , my father kicked me out of the house—”

Scarlett wanted to interject, but Rhett gestured for her not to interrupt him, but he still thoughtfully explained for her. "Father kicked me out of the house—I'll tell you about it later if you want, Scarlett, and now I have something more important to say."

"I have never regretted contradicting or disobeying my father, not even when I first left home when I was hungry and my eyes were cold and I was shaking. I don't regret killing a man in a duel, nor regret I was pointed at for not wanting to marry a stupid girl, because I wasn't afraid of that. Then I made my fortune on my own merits - you may think that's not serious, but it's my skill after all. Occasionally the business loses money , and I have never spent time regretting my decisions. When the war started, I did not regret doing those so-called 'speculative' businesses that everyone despised, nor did I regret when the war was about to end, when no one would know Go to war. I don't even regret throwing you on the road to Tara-oh! Don't worry, Scarlett, listen to me... I don't care what people say about me, because in my eyes that Criteria are stupid. All this time, I always thought I followed my heart, baby, and was proud of it."

His voice is thick and powerful, and the words that come out of his lips are his heart's voice.

"But actually I've been trying to conquer it, to master it. I regret not taking you when your last name was Hamilton, and regretting not asking you before I went to war. Thank God for the opportunity to fix it - same as you, I've forgotten about God a long time ago, but I need him at times like this, and we can never get rid of God.

So let God be my surety!This will be the time when I am most devoted to my vows!This will be a promise I will never break!This will be the only true love of Rhett Butler in my life——

I love you, Scarlett. "

His eyes are shining brightly.

"Rhett..." Scarlett felt tears rolling in her eyes, the man in front of her was so gentle, the orange candlelight covered him with a gentle veil.

"I should have expected to fall into your hands from the first time I saw you, that bright little girl—I've been ashamed to admit that. Scarlett, you don't know what you bring My warmth, of course, and fun. I used to see you almost every year when you were little. Not because you asked, but because I wanted.

After you were 11 years old, I stopped going, forgive me, baby, it was because I was cowardly, cowardly because I couldn't control my heart. "

Scarlett felt that he had said a lot, a lot of his heart that she never knew.

"We have missed too many good times, Scarlett. Too much... Time has known that you are my one and only. We will be the happiest couple in the world, as long as you think, Scarlett... as long as You are willing...as long as you are willing." He stretched out his right hand with the palm facing up, waiting for the answer from the person in front of him.

Scarlett tremblingly put her left hand on that hand, and tried to wipe away the flowing tears with the other hand. She nodded with a smile, kept nodding, choked up and couldn't speak.It took a long time before he managed to make a sound.

"Of course, yes."

Then she felt a coolness in her middle finger, and Rhett put a ring on her left hand that she got from somewhere.The pattern is exquisite and the workmanship is exquisite. A pair of swans stretch their elegant necks to support the dazzling diamond together.

"Where did you get the ring?"

"Of course it was already prepared."

Then Rhett stood up, staggered, and said his legs were numb.He took out another ring and asked Scarlett to put it on for him.Only then did she realize that her name was actually engraved on the inner ring of the ring——Scarlett. She thought that her inner ring should be Rhett.She didn't take it off to see if that was the case, and she decided not to take it off until she got married.

Naturally, Rhett started kissing her.His arms were around her the way he had held her so long ago in the dark on the way to Tara.She clings to him tightly, as if the whole earth is shaking, making people dizzy, and only he is firm.

"Can you?" He asked her softly, his voice a little hoarse.

"kindness."

Feeling each other's body temperature rise, they entered the bedroom.

In the dark, Rhett heard his baby say to him: "I love you, Rhett."

For a moment, his throat choked up.
