In the early morning of autumn, a large area of ​​sunlight penetrates the clouds, spreads and circles along the gaps in the clouds, like majestic rivers and lakes, winding into the sea, rendering the entire sky red, gorgeous and brilliant.

In Pemberley Manor, birdsong is crisp and chirping, piercing the tranquility of the morning.

In the corridor on the second floor, Erwin walked quickly, shaking his body, but he didn't fall down. The nanny behind him followed him and helped him open the door of the study.

As soon as the door was opened, the little guy rushed in front of Darcy like a cannonball and threw himself on his lap. With a grin, he exposed his little front teeth: "Uncle...father", the voice of a baby is so heart-warming. It's all going to melt.

Darcy put down the book, showed a smile, lifted him up with both hands and hugged him in his arms, weighed him, and now he was much heavier, almost two years old in a few months.

"Where's your aunt?"

Erwin immediately turned his head and pointed his little finger outside the door: "Outside", with a bang, the loud words blurted out.Darcy followed his fingers and looked out just in time to see Caroline enter the study.

Caroline looked up at Erwin who was in Darcy's arms and was speechless. This brat didn't know why he liked Darcy so much, and he had never seen him be so affectionate to her aunt.

Stepping forward, Caroline directly kissed the little guy's white and tender face, and then stretched out his face.As a result, Erwin kissed Darcy on the face first, and then turned to kiss Caroline.

Caroline: "...".

Numbly glanced at the brat, Caroline didn't bother to care about it anymore, she was used to it anyway, and it wasn't her who should be annoyed at that time, but Hester who was about to come back.

They had received Louisa's letter two days ago, and they were expected to be in town by this afternoon.So Caroline and the others decided to pick them up in the town and go shopping in the town in the morning.

When they were ready, the three of them set off. Darcy hugged Erwin along the way, or occasionally let him down, led him for a few steps, and walked down the street until they arrived at the restaurant that they had made an appointment with Louisa in the letter. Just stopped.

In the afternoon, Louisa and Hester appeared in the dining room on time, and everyone had dinner together before returning to Pemberley Manor.

But before staying at Pemberley Manor for ten days this time, Hester clamored to go back, the reason was the same as Caroline thought, he couldn't stand his son's affection for Darcy, and he hadn't seen his son yet How dependent on him as his own father.

Feeling uncomfortable, Hester immediately packed his luggage and brought his wife and son back to London without any hesitation.

Erwin stayed in Louisa's arms with flat lips and red eyes, staring at Darcy and Caroline, very sad, as if he knew that he was going to leave Pemberley Manor soon.

Darcy stepped forward and rubbed Erwin's head to coax him, while Caroline kissed his cheek directly, and the little guy immediately gave her a sweet kiss, and then stared at Caroline , Tears fell one by one, which made Caroline's heart soften instantly. She opened her hand and coaxed: "Come into my aunt's arms, our Erwin won't go back, okay?"As a result, the little guy turned his head and arched his head into Louis's arms, making her almost miss hugging him.

Caroline withdrew her hand in embarrassment, chatted with Louisa and the others before watching them get into the carriage and leave Pemberley Manor.

Watching the carriage gradually move out of sight, Caroline turned around and prepared to go back.Suddenly, Darcy's words next to her made her stand still as if struck by lightning, and she turned her head and asked, "What did you just say?"

Darcy clenched his hands nervously, looked serious, pursed his lips, and then repeated: "I said, why don't we have a child, a child like Erwin."

The deep and steady voice rang in Caroline's ears like thunder and thunder, making her dizzy. After she calmed down, Caroline was silent for two seconds. This time she was sure that she heard clearly and did not hear wrong.

Turning her head, Caroline just glanced at Darcy, but this glance was like cold water pouring down, making Darcy's heart go cold instantly.

Darcy said with a blank face: "Just pretend I didn't say it", then turned around and left quickly.

During this period of getting along, he thought that Caroline should at least accept him, which also gave him hope.However, the reality slapped him hard, but Caroline's attitude was still the same as before. He didn't know what he was going to do, so she would accept him, especially the way she looked at him just now, It was like looking at a person with an abnormal mind, it really made him unbearable.

At this moment, Darcy felt particularly tired.What else is he going to do?

Darcy's face became more and more expressionless, and he lifted his foot step by step away from Caroline's sight, laughing at himself in his heart, it turned out that he was just being sentimental all this time.

After that day, the relationship between the two of them no longer had the warmth of Erwin's presence, which made Mrs. Reynolds very anxious when she saw hope. She thought that the two of them would get better like this, but she didn't expect it to be like this.She was really anxious to death.

Caroline walked downstairs in a dress. There was a ball waiting for them at the Johnson Mansion tonight. Darcy was already waiting in the lobby downstairs. He looked tall and handsome in a well-tailored suit and dress, but his expression was too much. Not pleasing.Caroline took his arm, chatted with him a few words, and then walked towards the carriage parked outside the door.

The two got into the carriage and drove to Mr. Johnson's mansion together. Darcy had been in a bad mood for the past few days, so naturally he was quite indifferent at the ball. After dancing with Caroline, he Standing indifferently at the corner of the ball all the time, even in the face of other people's greetings, this is no worse than the attitude at Longbourne, but no one here will criticize him because of his attitude, instead Because he was in a bad mood, he expressed his understanding and stopped bothering him.

Caroline, on the other hand, was at the ball both ways, either surrounded by the ladies or dancing with the gentlemen, and only occasionally had free time.

After dancing with Colonel Black, the two sat in the rest area and chatted.After meeting and visiting each other at balls several times in London, Colonel Black and Colonel Black are now familiar with each other and can be regarded as friends, so they no longer use honorifics, but directly call each other by their names.

Caroline glanced at Mr. Johnson who was surrounded by everyone chatting in the distance, turned her head and said with a smile: "It seems that Mr. Johnson really attaches great importance to your nephew. You just came yesterday, and today he held a meeting for you. a dance."

Colonel Black took a sip of his wine and said with a smile: "I agree with you, Caroline, on the first point, but on the latter... I think it's more important because my uncle likes to be lively, and he also has this ball already. I plan to, otherwise how can I explain that I came yesterday and the dance will be held today." Speaking of this, Colonel Black shrugged while holding the wine glass, and said helplessly: "Obviously, I just happened by the way."

Hearing this, Caroline pursed her lips and smiled teasingly, "If Mr. Johnson heard your words, he might be sad."

In response, Colonel Black just shook his head amusedly.

"By the way, do you come back to Derbyshire at this time of year?"

"Well," Colonel Black put down his glass and nodded: "If there are no special circumstances, I will visit my uncle's house this autumn, and then return to London before Christmas."

The two were drinking and chatting, and the atmosphere was harmonious, but this scene was extremely dazzling in Darcy's eyes.

Darcy stood at the ball, looking over there, with a gloomy face, especially thinking of Colonel Black's address to Caroline when the two of them first walked into Johnson's mansion, Darcy suddenly clenched the wine glass in his hand, they When did the two become so familiar?

Darcy dislikes Colonel Black very much. It started when he was in London, but it's even worse now.Even though Colonel Black is a respectable gentleman, but..., Darcy pursed his lips, as long as he thought of Caroline and Georgiana's appreciation and love for him, Darcy felt very uncomfortable. The colonel is a gentleman, and there is nothing left but deep repulsion.

"What are you talking about?" Darcy stepped over and interrupted Caroline and Colonel Black.

Colonel Black raised his head and smiled politely: "Mr. Darcy."And Darcy just glanced at him indifferently, nodded slightly and stopped talking.

Colonel Black frowned insignificantly. He didn't seem to have offended Mr. Darcy.

"We were just chatting casually, by the way, why are you here", what's the matter? Caroline is no stranger to Darcy's behavior of being a pillar at the ball.

"I think we should go to the last dance and say goodbye to Mr. Johnson. It's getting late now," Darcy replied lightly.

It is late?There will be at least an hour before the end of the ball, Caroline frowned, but she didn't say anything. She stood up and took Darcy's arm, and turned to Colonel Black and said, "Then let's go to the dance first. I won't come here to say goodbye to you, so as not to disturb your dancing, but you must remember to come to Pemberley Park then."

And to invite Colonel Black to visit Pemberley Manor? !Darcy's complexion became even worse.

"Don't worry, I will definitely come," Colonel Black nodded in agreement.

Watching the backs of the two, Colonel Black frowned slightly, but when he glanced at Caroline, he suddenly understood why Darcy treated him so badly just now, and then recalled the last time he went to Darcy in London In the case of the mansion visit, the answer is obvious.

After communicating, Colonel Black remained silent. All he had for Caroline was admiration and friendship, and he had no other feelings.Of course, if Caroline is still a single lady now, it is very possible for him to fall in love and even propose to her, but the fact is that there is no if, and this possibility is not true.

After returning to Pemberley Manor, Caroline was about to fall asleep after washing, when she heard a knock on the door.

She opened the door with a "huh", and saw Darcy standing at her doorway, standing there like a pillar.

Caroline frowned, folded her hands on her chest, and her face was a little bad. Anyone who was disturbed before going to bed must be in a bad mood.

Leaning against the door frame, Caroline glanced at Darcy and said, "Is there anything you can't talk about tomorrow? Fitzwilliam. But since you've already come, please tell me what you need to do, I'll Go back to sleep."

Darcy pursed her lips and looked at Caroline in front of her. At this time, she was wearing a thin pajamas, exposing the beautiful curves of women. The skin slightly exposed by the cuffs and neckline was as shiny and attractive as white jade. The red hair hangs down and hangs loosely on the chest, matching the fair skin, with a trace of laziness and charm, making Darcy's eyes sink instantly.

Averting his eyes, Darcy said: "Sleep", with a hoarse voice in his deep voice, which was extraordinarily charming and pleasant to his ears.

Caroline's originally indifferent expression suddenly shook, she leaned against the door frame, her gaze fell on Darcy's face, and she raised her voice and asked, "Sleep?!"

"Ok".

After Darcy nodded, Caroline said as if hearing a good joke: "Then you should go back to sleep immediately instead of standing at my door, Fitzwilliam."

"I mean, I'm going to sleep in your room," Darcy said with no expression on his face. Seeing Caroline and Colonel Blake's harmonious atmosphere today, Darcy suddenly remembered what happened when Caroline stimulated him in London. ——taunting that he and Elizabeth can only be lovers.

Since she was able to say such things back then, did she have the intention of having a lover?

Thinking of this, Darcy panicked, he couldn't tolerate her thinking about other men at all.

"Mr. Darcy, let me remind you that your room is on the second floor, please turn left immediately and go down the stairs and then turn left again." At the end, Caroline stood up straight and said quickly: "Goodbye, walk slowly, Don't send it away", and the moment the body stood upright, the left hand slammed the door through with force.

however

Caroline obviously underestimated Darcy's ability to react. Before the door was completely closed, Darcy had already put his hands against the door. Before she could react, the whole person had already stepped into the room and opened the door. closed.

"Crack".

It was obviously a very small sound, but it struck Caroline's heart like a hammer, making her heart tremble. She raised her eyes to look at the tall and straight man in front of her, subconsciously, Caroline Lorraine swallowed her saliva and took a step back.
