[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

The couple Scarlett and Rhett are really typical.

It is clear that the two of them are on good terms when they are not talking, but as long as they say two sentences, from the third sentence onwards, they will confront each other as if they have taken the wrong medicine.

Judging from the "competition" between the two of them these few times, Bonnie came to a conclusion——

Scarlett's emotional intelligence is worrying, and Rhett is not much better.

After listening to the corner for so many days, Bonnie understood the point of their quarrel.

No matter what they were arguing about, there was one person Rhett would bring up at the end: Ashley Wilkes.

Then, of course, there is a later.

As soon as he brought out the person's name or surname, Scarlett immediately became furious.

Try a hundred spirits.

Rhett seems to think that Scarlett doesn't love herself at all, and in her heart, there is only her white moonlight Ashley.

This Ashley is the husband of Scarlett's friend Melanie. Judging from Rhett's tone, it seems that Scarlett has loved Ashley for many years, but never got him. Ashley married Melanie to her first husband.

Bonnie had to hug little Bonnie who was trembling all over and crying like rain. The parents quarreled in front of the children, and only the children were affected the most.

Obviously, the little girl has had enough of her parents' quarrels these days. Little Bonnie is four years old, and she has gradually understood that it is not good for her parents to fight like this.

Just like today, Scarlett told Rhett that she had a dream in which Bonnie cried and said why they ignored her. She thought this dream might be an omen.

As a result, Rhett didn't know what was going on, and began to mock Scarlett for lying in a few sentences. She didn't care about her daughter at all before, so how could Bonnie run into her dream and so on.

Scarlett immediately mocked Rhett for loving her daughter so much, but Bonnie didn't enter his dream, which showed that Bonnie didn't like him that much either.She said: "Clearly she likes me better, dear Mr. Butler."

These days, the two are under a lot of pressure because of Bonnie's affairs, and quarreling seems to be their only way to vent their pressure.

It was obvious that the words were all out of anger, but no one gave in.

Because of Scarlett's ridicule, Rhett was instantly ignited. He began to criticize Scarlett's failure as a mother, saying that she only cared about her lumber factory business and didn't care much about Bonnie. The lumberyard's business is so focused, purely because the lumberyard is the only place she can be alone with Ashley, "so that you can seduce Mrs. Wilkes behind her back—the woman who will always love you—" Husband now?"

Rhett quarreled fiercely with Scarlett this time, and Scarlett was so angry that she ran back to her room crying.

When Scarlett slammed the door, Rhett's sharp aura immediately fell, and his face was as black as ink.

The man closed his eyes, sat down on the edge of the bed, and murmured, "How...how did this happen..."

Rhett hasn't cleaned himself up at all these days, his beard is unshaven and his face is haggard.

When the man closed his eyes, it was as if he was about to faint.

Despite his agitation, his hand was soft and restrained when he touched Bonnie's forehead.

The man's voice was still soft: "Baby, wake up quickly, don't scare Dad anymore, Dad... Dad can't take it anymore..." He covered his face as he said, as if he was desperately holding back something, but the tears still remained fell from his fingers.

After a while, Rhett stood up and left the room.

Little Bonnie wanted to be with her father, so Bonnie had to follow Rhett with her.

Rhett met Mama Hei downstairs, and he asked Mama Hei to go upstairs to guard Bonnie.

Immediately afterwards, Rhett walked into the study room alone and drank the whole day and night. Whiskey, brandy and cigars were not enough.He picked up the red wine and white wine next to him and drank them indiscriminately.

Bonnie was so frightened that she immediately took the little girl out of the study. The girl is still so young, she shouldn't see the murderous scenes of adults drinking too much.

When Melanie heard that Rhett had entered the study and hadn't come out for several hours, she was worried about going in. The fine cashmere carpet in the study was covered with ashes from cigars and several half-empty wine bottles.

The entire study room was filled with an unpleasant smell of alcohol, which almost smoked Melanie out.

The man's eyes were bewitched, his face covered with beards, and he muttered some unintelligible words dejectedly.

Melanie walked around the soot on the ground, looked at the blushing Reid in horror, and said anxiously: "Captain Butler, why are you drinking like this?"

Rhett raised his eyelids and showed an ugly smile: "Miss Lanny, uh, you're here... Please, please sit down as you please."

He fumbled for the wine bottles and glasses on the desk. The drunken man's limbs became weak, and he knocked off the brandy glass on the edge of the table. It was broken, but there was still half a glass of wine in the glass, and it became hops all over the place.

"Captain Butler, Captain Butler?" Melanie was taken aback, and immediately went to help Rhett who bent over to pick it up, but found that tears were streaming down his eyes at this moment.

"I'm so useless...I'm so useless, I can't even hold a wine glass," Rhett tore his hair angrily, "I couldn't protect Bonnie...it's my fault, I shouldn't let her ride a horse... ..."

The man's voice was sad and hopeless, Melanie's heart tightened, and tears fell involuntarily: "Don't do this, this is an accident, Captain Butler..."

After hearing Melanie's words, Rhett suddenly scratched Melanie's hand fiercely. Melanie was obviously frightened by his reaction, she struggled subconsciously, but soon stopped after hearing Rhett's words. down.

"It wasn't an accident, I made Scarlett roll down the stairs, I caused her to have a miscarriage, it was all my fault...it wasn't an accident at all...it wasn't...God knows, Bonnie fell off her horse and it was God's fault My punishment, what should I do, as soon as I saw Scarlett, I couldn't help it, I hurt her, I spoke bad words to her..."

Rhett babbled, and he confessed his mistake to Melanie.

Melanie's slender arms were turned blue by Rhett's grasp. This situation reminded her of how Rhett was drunk in the same way when Scarlett had a miscarriage.

That was also the first time she saw such a refined and elegant man's gaffe.

The Butler family suffered too much.

"Dear Captain Butler, Scarlett is already recovering, and Dr. Meade also said that Bonnie will recover as well, and she will wake up soon. You must firmly believe this."

"You don't understand," Rhett sobbed, "she-she doesn't love me at all..."

"Who said," said Melanie, "that you didn't really think she was in love with Ashley?"

Hearing the name "Ashley", Rhett was stunned for a while, he stared at Melanie in a daze, muttered for a while, but still didn't say anything.

"Listen, she never loved Ashley," Melanie said calmly, grabbing Rhett's hand, "she loves you, even though she may not know it, but she The one I love is you."

"No, that's not the case." The only person Scarlett loves is Ashley. Even though he tried his best and gave her everything he wanted, he still couldn't match the Ashley in her heart.

Rhett wanted to say that Melanie was deluding herself, but couldn't, under her containing, determined amber gaze.

"You don't know her as well as I do," Melanie's mouth curved into a gentle arc, "Maybe she can firmly want what she wants, but she never knows who she really wants, you You know, I'm not a liar, I just say what I see."

Rhett was completely stunned, why Melanie was so convinced that Scarlett loved him.

Is it...

A glimmer of hope suddenly rose in Rhett's heart, but it was quickly suppressed by a sense of desolation and powerlessness.

He lowered his hand decadently, "Miss Lani, you are not always right, I heard that women who are pregnant always have wild thoughts..."

Melanie opened her eyes wide, and said in surprise: "You, how do you know? I didn't tell anyone," but she quickly came to her senses, "No, that's not the case, it has nothing to do with my pregnancy, Si Carrie is already under a lot of pressure these days, you should work through it together instead of hurting each other."

Little Bonnie was forbidden to enter, but Bonnie ran in to listen to the corner by herself.

She had to admit that she was curious about this family. After listening to the conversation between Rhett and Melanie, she was full of respect for Melanie, a woman who was thin on the outside but extremely strong on the inside.

Melanie has been supporting them silently in her own way, so that they have no worries.

These days, Bonnie has also heard a lot of rumors about Melanie.

She is the most famous woman in Atlanta, and even though Scarlett is notorious, no one has any objection to her unswerving association with Scarlett.

Melanie was like the leader of the women of Atlanta, and anything she said was true.

This woman is several times stronger than her weak appearance.

After Bonnie left the study, she found that little Bonnie was squatting outside the door, looking at her pitifully.

"Honey, do you want your parents to reconcile?"

Little Bonnie pursed her lips, nodding her head like pounding garlic.

"Then I have a method, we can try..."
