[Gone with the Wind] Back to the beginning

Rhett received a telegram this morning.

Of course, receiving a telegram is nothing new.For Rhett Butler, a busy man, it is not surprising that he receives seven or eight telegrams a day, but the strange thing is the sender-Scarlett O'Hara, or Scarlett Butler.His wife, and his sweetheart who dismissed him.He had just blown up about her and Ashley Wilkes once more than a month ago, and then had sex with her out of control.After another disappointment, he left that so-called home with his little daughter Bonnie in embarrassment, and embarked on a trip with an uncertain return date.Based on what he knew about Scarlett, it was impossible for his arrogant and self-willed wife to take the initiative to send a telegram to greet her, so could it be that something happened at home?Thinking of this, Rhett flawlessly savored the surprise of receiving the telegram and the bitter mockery of his own wishful thinking, and hurriedly read the entire telegram.After a while, Rhett put down the telegram in his hand, and formed a very strange expression on his face—as if he wanted to be happy, but restrained himself to avoid greater disappointment, and at the same time, he was slightly confused.

Little Bonnie, who had just come back from going crazy outside, found her father's strange expression as soon as she entered the door. The little girl ran to her father's side on two short legs, climbed onto his lap to beg for a hug, and then hugged Butler A sweet kiss was left on the cheek of Mr. "What's the matter, Daddy?" asked his sweet daughter.

"Bonnie." Rhett picked her up and shook her, and asked cautiously, with confusion remaining on his face, "If, I mean, if your mother wants to give you a little brother or a little sister, would you Do you like it?" But as his words became smoother and smoother, the upward corners of his mouth could no longer be suppressed.Little Bonnie let out a cheer:

"Mom is having a baby?"

"Yes." Rhett said as he stood up with her in his arms, his voice full of irrepressible anticipation, "so we have to go back to be with her immediately, your mother needs us—whether she needs us or not." Gotta go back. I'm sorry, darling, but Big Ben, who promised you, might have to show you another time."

"I want to see the baby." Bonnie pouted and asked, "The baby is beautiful."

Rhett buried his lips in his younger daughter's hair and smiled softly.Maybe, he can probably have a little hope?Things haven't gotten to the worst yet?Scarlett is willing to send him a telegram because of her pregnancy, does it mean...Although, the birth of Bonnie did not bring much improvement to their relationship.But today, in the silent night of London, Rhett Butler, with his heart still in love with Scarlett O'Hara, bravely bet on that tiny possibility—just as he had done countless times before. like that.

Because he was sure that there would not be another person in this world who caused him to love so deeply.

'I'm pregnant, Rhett.I hope to see you soon. - Scarlett'

————————————————————

At first, Rhett thought that the subtle change in tone reflected in the telegram could not explain anything—it might have been taken directly when Scarlett first found out that she was pregnant, so she didn't think too much about it.Yes, he didn't dare to think too much, after all, he had been disappointed too many times in the past.But this time when he got home—well, he still wanted to call it home, he was surprised to find that Scarlett had really changed.

It was four or five o'clock in the afternoon when he and Bonnie entered the house. The lights on the first floor of the house were not turned on, and the light was not very good.He dawdles to take off his shoes, waiting for Bonnie to rush upstairs to find her mother, and break the usual awkwardness between the two of them—they always do.Sure enough, the little girl rushed up the stairs energetically, but Rhett, who was about to follow after changing shoes and turned on the light, suddenly couldn’t move his feet—because he found Scarlett standing behind the stairs, not far from him. place, watching him quietly.Judging from where she was standing, she should have come out of the guest bedroom on the first floor.Rhett didn't know what was going on, and when he turned on the light, he felt his scalp was going to explode.

"Why are you here?" He asked pretending to be relaxed, "Bonny rushed up." As if just remembering, he stepped forward and expressed the concern he wanted to say for a long time: "How is your health? Are you ok?"

Yes, their usual behavior pattern is to fight each other.But under the premise of being calm at the moment, Rhett will not speak ill of his sweetheart who is pregnant with his child—not to mention that Scarlett is not in the right state.She stared at him for a while, smiled and replied: "I moved to the first floor, the stairs are waxed and easy to fall." There was a bit of fatigue and gratitude in the smile, "It's not bad."

Mr. Butler, who didn't know that his wife would have fallen down the stairs and caused a miscarriage, let out an "oh", secretly because she cared about the child—well, compared to before, she felt a little bit of concern. Secretly delighted.He felt that Scarlett was very strange today, but this did not prevent him from immersing himself in this kind of peaceful dream for a short time.Then Scarlett asked him, "Where have you and Bonnie been? Are you tired?"

Rhett felt that he must have been hit by a big pie.

"Charleston, and London," he replied cautiously. "Of course, we're all doing well. If you need anything—"

"That's good." Scarlett replied, "I don't want to continue to work on Mr. Wilkes. Although there is Meili's guarantee, it will still be embarrassing, not to mention that you know he is not good at this. If you are not tired If you wear it—"

"Wait, what do you mean?" Rhett was a little overwhelmed to hear her mention "Mr. Wilkes" in such a peaceful tone, but he quickly grasped the point of the last sentence, "You mean -"

"Yes." Scarlett nodded calmly, "I entrusted him with the lumber factory. The doctor said I'd better rest. This pregnancy is a bit unstable——since you're back, I won't labor for Meili's husband. You're going to take over those properties for me?"

"My God." Rhett rushed forward to grab her hand, his anxiety was palpable. "Of course! I mean—Scarlett, what do the doctors say? How unstable?" Oh Oh my god, my god, of course he hoped that she could stay at home and raise her baby with peace of mind, not to mention completely abandoning the timber factory, but he didn't have to tire himself out by being so competitive when she was pregnant.But it was Scarlett in front of him!Scarlett, who takes the lumberyard as her lifeline!After hearing her say that she had suspended work and recuperated at home, Rhett's first reaction was not rejoicing and joy, but worried about how bad her health was - his anxious black eyes wandered on her face.

"Uh." Scarlett didn't expect Rhett's reaction to be so big, but thinking of the reason for his behavior like this - she couldn't help showing him a comforting smile, "Well, it's not a big deal. It's just, uh, you know - Poor appetite, neurasthenia or something. Take a good rest and everything will be fine. I was really tired for a while."

"Then take a good rest." Rhett said immediately, and then seemed to realize that his tone was too strong. In order not to destroy the rare harmonious | atmosphere between the two, he added: "I mean-of course, I will Take care of everything for you." He joked with her: "I guarantee that the income will not decrease."

Oh my god.How long had it been since they had spoken so peacefully, Rhett thought.Probably had to go back before Bonnie was born.Even on their honeymoon, they fought a lot, so moments like this seemed especially rare.Rhett wished this time had lasted longer—whatever, just being together like this would do.He didn't know that Scarlett also had the same wish, but when Bonnie, who had been searching for her mother, ran downstairs again, he quickly glanced at Scarlett, and seemed to see the same thing in the other party's eyes in a trance. Disappointment - which then turned into full surprise to see her daughter.

Must be wrong, he thought—to avoid another disappointment.But he didn't realize that his tone of denial this time was much lighter than the previous few times, and it was tinged with joy.Rhett hurriedly stepped forward to stop little Bonnie, who was about to throw herself into Scarlett's arms, and told him that her mother's belly was untouchable now.Bonnie listened ignorantly, while Scarlett stood aside and looked at them with a faint smile.For a moment, Rhett really felt that they were a very loving family.

And until the moment before Scarlett was pushed into the delivery room, Rhett was still thinking about it.

-------------------

Scarlett gave birth to a beautiful girl with black hair and dark eyes.The fluffy little baby slept peacefully in his arms, while her father waited for his beloved wife to wake up from a postpartum coma.

"Lottie, that's a good name, isn't it?" Rhett asked in an inquiring tone, and then Scarlett smiled at him and nodded slightly.

Now Scarlett's smile didn't surprise him so much—because I don't know if it was thanks to this child, the number of harmonious|harmonious moments when the two got along in recent months has increased by leaps and bounds, replacing the previous mutual harm as the norm.So Rhett will no longer be so flattered by Scarlett's overtures—on the contrary, "they are a very happy family" in his mind, this kind of thought appears more and more, and it becomes more and more serious. strong.

"Are you disappointed?" She lay on the bed, her head tilted in the pillow, as if she wanted to confirm his feelings, "I thought you were looking forward to having both children and something—yes, hold me a little lower, okay, I You can see clearly. This girl is so beautiful, she will be a beauty when she grows up."

Lottie Butler, who had grown up several times in different time and space but was forced to be reborn as a baby by the power (male) (malicious) (intention) of the mystic (mystic) before getting married, cried out.

"She's more like me than Bonnie." Rhett looked at her for a moment, and concluded, "Look at her eyes and her hair, and the curve of her lips—I'm glad she was born, even though I I really want to taste what it's like to raise a brat." He glanced at her casually, the corners of his mouth were tensed because of tension, but there was a trace of expectation in his eyes.

Scarlett wrinkled her nose, and Rhett's heart tightened. Unexpectedly, she followed up and said: "I just gave birth, can't you let me rest?" There was a hint of coquettishness in her tone, "You don't know the hardships of pregnancy, do you?" ?”

"Ah." Rhett laughed easily, his tone rose, and he was even in the mood to joke—although his hands trembled slightly, "Then what can I do? After all, you have always acted like a steel female warrior before. "

Scarlett glared at him fiercely: "Even if I am the Iron Woman Warrior, don't you know that you love me?"

Rhett raised his hands in surrender, and said with a smile: "Of course." He leaned over and kissed Scarlett quickly on the lips unexpectedly: "Of course I will." However, he stood up with a smile, and his eyes were full of happiness. shine.

Scarlett wanted to laugh at first, but she couldn't help but feel her nose ache, she said softly, "Rhett."

"What?" The man who just got up just bent down slightly again for the convenience of her speaking, just in time for Scarlett, who was weak after giving birth, to raise her head and kiss him on the side of the cheek.The green-eyed woman lay back on the bed quietly, looked at him with a smile, and said softly, "I love you, you know that, right?"

Rhett's eyes flashed, and there was something surging in his eyes.His lips opened and closed several times, looking at her uncertainly.But Scarlett didn't laugh at him, she just waited very patiently, smiling at him now and then.Finally, the man who had been hiding his heart with meanness for a long time bowed his head before her, and set off slowly with the most pious tone:

"Of course, I know. And—I love you, too."

It's not such a hard thing to say - it's only when you actually say it.Rhett lowered his head, wanting to kiss Scarlett's lips, and his beloved wife slightly raised her neck to meet, until——

Little Lottie, who had been forced to stuff her mouth full of dog food since she was born, finally couldn't help spitting milk and crying loudly.

uh ok.Anyway, this looks like the end of a good story.
