[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

"Damn it, you're clearly determined that I'll agree before proposing in public! You promised me that I'd be terrified!"

On the way back to her hometown of Tara with his new fiancée, Rhett found that his beloved fiancée started to lose his temper again.The black-haired man raised his brows, and began to say good things very skillfully: "Honey, you can't wrong me... I came here according to your request, really. You see, I was ready at the time I was rejected by you in public, and I threw my face to the ground. It's just that you feel sorry for me and didn't do that..."

"Shut up!" screamed Scarlett in embarrassment, "I'm not at all..."

Issues of principle cannot be retreated even one step.Rhett smiled but said very firmly: "Honey, you have agreed to my marriage proposal and become my fiancée."

Not reconciled to admitting it, nor happy to deny it, Scarlett was so angry for a long time that she managed to hold back a sentence: "Go back to Tara and let my mother clean you up!"

But Rhett smiled and said, "Honey, do you think I just got Miss Melanie's help for the big commotion last night?" He showed his white teeth under Scarlett's foreboding stare, "Honey, Ben Mrs. Ting going back and forth made last night perfect, you really think you can get around Mr and Mrs O'Hara? Well, actually your father would have liked to be there himself, he thought it was an exciting scene..."

Scarlett felt betrayed by her own father.

"What about my mother?" She asked unwillingly with a glimmer of hope.

Reiter smiled and asked, "Who is the real master of the O'Hara family? Do you think that Mr. O'Hara could be so... lively without Mrs. O'Hara's acquiescence? My dear, I didn't have the days when I disappeared in Atlanta." What a waste of time."

Scarlett remembered that Rhett had been away from Atlanta for a few days. She asked him a few questions, but he was vague. She thought it was a business matter, but it seemed that the man had really worked hard secretly.

"Okay." She reluctantly said, "Then I will reluctantly agree—" the little girl frowned, "I think you dare to treat me badly!"

"Honey, you have to admit it if you don't admit it!" Captain Butler smiled brightly, "I will not allow you to escape from me. However," he coaxed softly, "I will treat you well, of course I will will be good to you."

Scarlett snorted and turned her head away, but there was a hint of sweetness in her heart.

————————————————————————

Scarlett and Rhett fight all the way back to Tara.This time, she didn't feel the nervousness before, because she knew that she was recognized, accepted, and loved.She was just a little inexplicably shy—because this time, Rhett Butler never let go of her hand from the moment he entered the door.

Gerald seemed delighted, and the marriage seemed to him the most suitable.Rhett had clearly won his favor.And Ellen looked at their intertwined hands and said nothing for a long time, finally sighed softly, and said nothing more.Scarlett was sure that Rhett had promised Ellen in private, but she couldn't find out the content after questioning.In short, even though she knew that there would not be too many obstacles this time, she never thought that things would go so smoothly, and Scarlett was a little dazed.When she told Rhett this sentence, the man raised his eyebrows.

"Ah, honey." Reiter said with a half-smile, "You have to understand that your fiancé is not just for nothing." He said softly, "I will take care of all these matters. You can just wait and marry me at ease." gone."

Scarlett felt her face burn again.

That night, Scarlett and Ellen slept together.She had hardly done it since she was grown up.And since she was reborn, except for the first few nights, she didn't have the nerve to pester Ellen anymore—speaking of which, it's been a long time since mother and daughter have slept together and talked so intimately.

Scarlett's black hair spread out on the pillow, and she could smell her mother's fragrance.Ellen just took off the hairnet without untying her hair, but there was a little more life than usual.She stared at the eldest daughter with gentle eyes, stroked her hair and neck with soft fingers, and sighed softly and vaguely in her throat.She put her arms around her halfway, and said with a sigh: "You have grown so big in a blink of an eye."

Scarlett whispered in her arms: "No matter how old I am, I will always be your daughter." She hesitated again, "It's actually okay, you see Sue Allen and Karin are married, and Karin has children It's a baby..."

Ellen smiled slightly.

"But in a mother's heart, a child is a child no matter how old it is." She kissed Scarlett's forehead. "My daughter, of all the children I am most worried about you. You are so energetic, lively and bold. Let Mammy and I worry about..."

Speaking of those long and intimate pasts, Scarlett and Ellen laughed together.Ellen then continued:

"You're so much like your father... no, you're more like your grandmother Robillard, my dear. You're so brave, so reckless, I'm so afraid you'll hurt yourself... All a mother could want, was herself happy children. Tell me, my dear, are you happy now?"

In her mother's arms, Scarlett said softly, "There's never been a better moment—I feel very, very happy."

Ellen was quiet for a while before speaking.

"Then I don't have much to say." She said, "Scarlett, I can see that Mr. Butler loves you very much. I hope...the happiness you can get doesn't stop at this, there are more things for you should have."

Scarlett showed a small smile: "I still have you, Mom. Besides, Rhett is willing to return to the upper class for me, I, uh—" She rubbed her mother's arms and whispered: "You can Don't worry about it."

"How could I not worry about you." Ellen sighed, and hugged her daughter even more lovingly, "In a blink of an eye..."

Her vague, loving murmur made Scarlett sleepy for a while.In her mother's arms, she felt extremely safe and peaceful.All happiness is waving to her, and Scarlett gradually falls asleep.

In the dream, she saw a thick gray mist that couldn't melt away and linger around her like a shadow.The dense fog seemed to be boundless, and there was no end to whichever way it went.Isolated from all sunshine, joy and flower fragrance.The fog soaked the clothes, and the cold penetrated into the bones.Confusion, despair and sadness permeate here, and there is no hope... Scarlett knows that she has been here before, and she has been trapped here countless times, flustered and afraid, and countless hands stretched out from the mist to grab her skirt. Pulling it out and running hard...but she couldn't find the end.But this time, it felt different.It was still a boundless fog, and there was still no light at all, but there seemed to be a voice telling her where to go. "Someone is waiting for you there," the voice whispered to her, and Scarlett walked on firmly.Neither the cold nor the despair could infect her, she knew that there was a safe place ahead, and there was someone... the one who brought hope, the end of everything, the beginning of everything!Finally, she took the man's warm hand, and the man turned his head and smiled at her. At that moment, she could see his face clearly. She knew who he was and where he was.

"Rhett Butler!"

Scarlett woke up in the morning, the green-eyed girl stretched out, the sunlight streaming through the window on her young face.Ellen was no longer here, and she was reminiscing about the dream from last night.A faint smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and Scarlett knew that she would never have that dream again, that dream would never bother her again.The nightmare left her forever.She has got rid of the painful past, and she is about to usher in a new happiness.She washed and dressed hastily, and then hurried down the stairs.As if blessed to the soul, she saw the man at a glance, smiling at her from below.She couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.

"I will love you till the end of my life," she whispered.
