[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Later, Skye chatted with the Bingley ladies.

Jane sat on the sidelines and listened for a while at first.Her face was flushed, her vision was in a daze, and finally she couldn't help but collapsed on the sofa.

Skye paid attention to her condition early in the morning.She persuaded Jane several times, but the girl was always unwilling to cause trouble to the host family, and she was lucky enough to think that she could survive.

Skye touched Jane's forehead, sighed and said, "She has a fever and needs a doctor."

The conclusion wasn't too surprising, but Darcy and Bentley, who were sitting on the other side playing chess, both rose to their feet.

Skye saw that Darcy presided over the overall situation calmly, while Mr. Bingley couldn't hide his worried expression.

She sighed silently. In contrast, she realized how precious Darcy's panic at the beginning was.

You see, the truth has always been a hurtful thing.Now that Darcy was complaining about her feigning death, the man would soon realize that Skye Holt was actually a murderer.She allowed others to die in the bookstore, so that she escaped a catastrophe!

"Go prepare some ice cubes to help her cool down, and a guest room!"

Darcy handles problems methodically.He went on with a few instructions, and the servants followed suit, basically there would be no big troubles.

"And let her family know." Skye reminded her aloud, comparing what she knew and what would happen.

Darcy glanced back at Skye hastily.He seemed to wonder why Skye would make such a useless suggestion. "It's still raining heavily, and it's getting dark. Let them know tomorrow morning, or the Bennet family will be worried."

When everyone was busy worrying around Jane, Skye didn't pay attention to who said the answer.

What she was thinking was - Darcy and Elizabeth would come together in the end, shouldn't they be together... But why is it so sad?

Mr. Bingley picked up Jane, in the urgent situation.Bingley's special concern for Jane was completely exposed.He didn't wait for the servant to start, he walked upstairs.

Skye was left last.When Darcy looked back at her, he saw her with her head down, sad, and the shadow of her hat prevented him from seeing Skye's expression clearly.And even if you can see the expression clearly, so what?He has never understood this woman.

The sky had completely darkened, half of the people were waiting in Jane's room, and the other half were chatting in the reception room downstairs.After calming down, Miss Bingley began to complain about the sinister intentions of the Bennet family, and it seemed that Jane was playing tricks on both sides of the words.

Skye acted as if he didn't really want to hear that.She got up and went upstairs, so several people downstairs thought she was going to see Jane, or went back to her guest room.

No one cared about Skye's whereabouts.

Skye walked up to the second floor with the oil lamp, the lights in the corridor were bright, and the tiles and patterns on the walls were very beautiful.It may be because Mr. Bingley has just arrived, and they are only renting here, there are no portraits in the corridors of Netherfield Gardens.

Skye walked forward with a normal expression, and when he reached the third door, there was a beautiful lily carved in front of the door.This should actually be her guest room.

But Skye went on.

The fourth door, the fifth door... She walked all the way to the end of the floor, and unscrewed the door of this room with her backhand.

There was no light in the room. Skye put his own oil lamp on the cabinet near the door, and the bright and dim sparks lit the room.

Skye quietly walked to the desk, opened the drawers one by one, and searched for what he wanted among countless documents.

Not one drawer, nor the second.

Skye frowned more and more.When she was about to open the last drawer, someone suddenly said from the opposite door: "What are you looking for?"

Skylar's hand on the drawer trembled, and the drawer was only halfway pulled out, making a 'click'.She stood up in a hurry, and accidentally touched a book on the writing table.

It was a copy of Homer's Epic.

Skye was slightly taken aback.The book did bring back a memory for her, and Skye dusted the book with a hand and put it away.

Darcy looked at the woman standing in the dark, although he still kept quiet, the anger in his heart was getting bigger and bigger.

"What are you looking for, Miss Holt?!"

How could there be such a person, feigning death to escape, and treating everyone else in this world as fools.Seven years later, she appeared majestically in front of her, or she had seen her before, but he was still as ignorant as a fool!

Skye looked down.At this point in the matter, she really has nothing to say: "I kept the box at Anna's house. I want to get it back."

This would have been a very normal proposal.But because of his identity, gender, and time, his position has become somewhat subtle.

Skye's visit to Netherfield was for a legal contract.This thing is in Darcy's place, and I don't know if he has found it.

"What else is true for you?" Darcy's breath sounded a little breathless in the darkness, just like the uncertain flames beside him, flickering on and off.

Skye looked up in surprise: "What?"

"Is there anything real about you except that you are actually standing in front of me? I don't even know whether I should call you Mr. or Miss!" Darcy said angrily.

This time Skye understood.Frankly speaking, she didn't understand why Darcy was so angry, "I think... no, I am indeed Miss Holt. I am here this time just to return the things I sent."

"It's a man who put things here...but you are just a person with the same name. I really want to know who the person who died in the bookstore is, maybe this person is enough to send you to the gallows!"

Skye forced a smile, and tried her best to look into Darcy's eyes. Although she couldn't see clearly, the owner of those eyes showed enough hatred and disgust.

"Is it...?" Skye's voice was a little dry. She was just sad, sad that she had fallen into the situation of stealing things, and also sad for the bitter fruit of these years of deception: "I don't think you will send me Just get out. That's all I ask... please."

--Please.

It's time to leave this man's life.She could start over elsewhere.Find a place where there is no Darcy, a place where no trace will be traced again.

And this document, the last proof of her youthful mistakes, must be erased.

Skye thought of Charles dead, and her young brother, the terminally ill old butler who killed the bishop and killed himself.Everything is more important than a Darcy seven years ago.

"Darcy... the fire at the beginning, I can only say that I did not premeditate. And I want to tell you, I have always liked you."

It's just that the goddess of fate has woven the fate between them from the beginning.Since there is only a brief intersection point, no more should be expected.

Love is a luxury word, but like is much more reserved.

"Is this to prevent me from reporting you?"

Darcy couldn't hear the sadness in Skye's tone. When the shopkeeper made a decision, she always avoided everyone's observation.Darcy felt that Skye had become terribly calm since the beginning of his gaffe.

Darcy walked to a cabinet with a defensive look on his face.

He is very familiar with his things, even though the light is dim, he can still open the cabinet accurately, then open a box inside, take out a book from the bottom of the box, and take out what Skye wanted from the book that contract.

Skye's eye sockets felt hot again.She had been crying for so long that she thought she couldn't cry anymore.But now, tears still flow from the swollen eye sockets, and the emotion can't be restrained beyond all barriers.

"Give you."

Darcy handed the contract to Skye in a complicated mood.But because Skye didn't reach out, the contract fell to the ground.

Darcy stooped to pick it up.He was seen by Skye in a lot of embarrassment, and then Skye also cried in front of him.what is this?Do you see each other's weaknesses?

Skye's sudden refusal to cooperate made him angry. When Darcy handed it to Skye for the second time, he opened her clenched hands one by one, put the document in, and then closed her hand.

"I've given you something, I won't report you, just let it go!"

The final compromise, the end of the last friendship.

Skye could barely cry.Panting desperately, she said to Darcy who was about to leave the room in a burst of sobs: "I...I will leave tonight!"

"Don't do this. They'll be worried if you do this. Tomorrow morning...if you really want to leave."

After Darcy finished speaking, he turned and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

That night, the sky above Netherfield was still raining.If it is said that the abundant rainwater will eventually turn into beautiful nutrients to decorate the manor, then Skye's feelings that were stifled by reality when they were just sprouting are probably really just ruins in the spiritual world.

She stood for a long time in Darcy's room.If someone sees her devastated appearance, they will probably think that what is standing is not a young lady, but a dress, a black dress, which will support her until she dies. As for the package Whether the things inside are thousands of holes, but it is not so important.

Mr. Bingley had intended to speak to Mr. Darcy about the Bennets.He doesn't want Darcy to regard Jane as a vain girl like his sisters.

But when he pushed open the door of Darcy's room, he was stunned to see that Miss Skye sitting on the edge of the fireplace with her knees hugged, looking at the burning flame in the fireplace, staring in a daze.

She was fascinated, and only when Bingley pushed the door and made a sound, she turned her head and gave Bingley an indifferent look.

"I'm sorry." Bingley felt guilty when he was looked at. He stepped back half a step to see if the room he opened the door was correct.And the gladiolus pattern on the door of the room proved that he did not go to the wrong place... This is indeed Darcy's room.

Bingley asked Skye with some embarrassment and strangeness: "Miss Holt, what are you doing?"

He clearly saw that Skye was burning something.Because Darcy's room exudes the smell of burnt paper, which is different from lighting a fireplace in the general sense.

After he asked this question, Skye looked at Bingley again as if she had just woken up from a dream. She forced a smile and stood up from the floor. She walked slowly to Bingley's side, and apologized. Said: "I don't have any coals in my room. I'll ask Mr. Darcy to borrow some."

This excuse was originally used against Darcy.But Skye did not expect that she would not be able to tell a lie when she saw Darcy.

Now this excuse was used against the owner of the manor.

But it gives people a clumsy and ridiculous feeling out of thin air.
