[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Anwen seemed to have a special love for Skye's black tea.Even though this kind of black tea can only be regarded as mediocre, when he finished drinking a cup and was about to refill, Skye still couldn't stand the feeling of bruises on his forehead.

During a cup of tea, Anwen didn't say anything useful.Skye's patience was wearing thin.

Fortunately, after the refill, Anwen finally put down his teacup, and talked seriously about the things he had encountered in these years.

"How much do you remember about what happened before the fire?" Anwen put down his teacup with a solemn expression.Skye straightened his back too.

"Well... I only remember a few." Skye's tone was a bit reluctant, but in fact, memories softened her heart.

Skye remembers that when she was a child, her father and mother were busy with entertainment, the guests at home were from morning to night, and the servants were too busy to take care of her.The one who can communicate with her the most is her elder brother who was raised as an heir.

Later, Skye heard the housekeeper talk about when she was younger, and it was impossible for Skye to remember what happened before she was three years old.But according to the old housekeeper's description, Anwen has a lot of love for Skye.When other young masters are busy riding horses and playing games, Anwen's pleasure is to finish the homework assigned by the master early, and then play with his younger sister... ahem, and play with her younger sister.

Anwen can patiently teach Skye to walk. He always holds a string of small wind chimes and shakes them not far from Skye.The sound of the wind chime will attract the baby's attention, and every time Skye will put on a serious face and use his hands and feet to hook the wind chime.

In short, it is a small game between brothers and sisters.

As long as Skye can remember, Anwen gave her Shakespeare carelessly. Long before she could read, her brother brazenly said: "I will be the first person to give you the complete works of Shakespeare. In this way, my future brother-in-law It’s not the first one to give it away! Hahaha.”

Anwen will take Skye to run around the house, he takes Skye to climb trees, and he also teaches Skye to play the piano.Anwen in memory is a considerate elder brother, and also a child who will not grow up.

But Skye in memory is also a child who is so innocent that he believes in everything.She is a little girl who believes in what adults say, 'if you find a gentleman with the right family, you will get married'.

Skye thought that if Anwen lived, he would grow from a naive child to a naive adult.And Skye knew that she herself had said goodbye to innocence for a long time.

Farewell, there is a price to pay.

Anwen in front of him had a decent smile, and behind the smile were countless secrets and impenetrable thoughts.So what did Anwen pay in the process of growing up?For a moment, Skye wanted to stop the conversation, stop listening.

But she was still Elsie's sister after all.This journey has finally made her determined.

Skye just said with disgust: "You were the same as Elsie now."

Elsie was a little depressed.And Anwen smiled lightly.

"We all want to be like Elsie..." If it wasn't for that fire.

When the fire was burning, Anwen was still studying Latin in the study.The heir's training is quite strict, and in order to spend more time with Skye and Elsie, Anwen usually has to work harder.

The old house was full of smoke, and Anwen's first reaction was his sister who was still in his room.Although Skye is already sensible.But she was still a child after all, and one had no idea how frightened one could be.

Thinking of this, Anwen immediately put down his pen and rushed out of the study.The Holt family has many servants, and they usually have a very strict management system. Under the management of the housekeeper, they take care of everything in the house in an orderly manner.But at certain moments, such as chaos...such as a fire, outsiders can easily get in.

Some servants ran away along the way, and some were fighting the fire.Anwen pushed away several servants who were scrambling for silver knives and forks, and went upstairs against the flow of people.

Waiting for Anwen to push open Skye's door panting.Skye wasn't the only one in the room, but a grown man.The man didn't know what he did to Skye, and Skye lay on his bed, motionless.

Anwen's head became hot, and he rushed up immediately.

He was wondering if his sister had been killed and he wanted revenge.However, Anwen ignored the question of whether he, a teenager, could defeat a grown man.

Originally, the man wanted to take advantage of the chaos to take Skye away, but after seeing Anwen, he changed his mind.

He took Anwen away, and left Skye, who was unconscious, on the bed in the bedroom.

The servants who came after them lost the clue that Anwen was kidnapped hastily because of the thick smoke and fire. They only rescued the 'asleep' Skye.And Anwen was thought to be a corpse in the sea of ​​flames.

The kidnapper wanted to blackmail the Holt family, but after hearing that Mr. and Mrs. Holt were burned to death in the fire, the dream of self-conscious blackmail was shattered, and after some things, Anwen was transferred to other people. traffickers.

After many years, there is no other connection between siblings.

When Skye heard what Anwen said, he clenched his fists unconsciously.

Her cuffs exceed the fingertips, which in itself is for the pursuit of chic and elegant.At this time, it can help Skye to conceal the wavering and bitterness in his heart.

She always thought that her brother died with her parents.Behind this cognition, Skye has always subconsciously believed that Anwen never looked for him when the fire broke out.

She thought she wasn't that important.What she didn't know was that behind her comfortable life these years was the sacrifice of her brother being taken away.

Thinking of this, tears are about to flow out.

Skye heard a few sobs, and apparently Anwen heard it too.The two of them turned their heads together and saw Elsie who was already crying on the sofa next to her.The big boy looked like he had imagined the whole picture, and the balance in his heart seemed to be tilted towards the big brother who made a great sacrifice.

Skye looked away depressed.

She must not be like Elsie, it is too embarrassing to cry.Moreover, although Anwen said some things, he has not explained the blank years in the process.

"Then what happened to you later? Always by the Duke's side?"

Skye thought that after that was what Anwen would focus on describing.After all, the follow-up lasts longer, and 'adoption' itself is not a very good word.

Unexpectedly, Anwen said relaxedly: "The Duke has many illegitimate children, and there is also a legal heir. I was adopted to set a target for his own children, so as not to..."

When Skye heard this, she recalled what Anwen had said during the tea break before. She nervously glanced at Elsie who was still crying and waiting for the story, and reproachfully glanced at Anwen who had a fearless face.Then interrupted him with a headache: "I think I've figured it out. Let's end the story here!"

"Hey!..." Elsie exclaimed in astonishment.He looked at Skye, and his eyes were accusing Skye of not giving Anwen a chance to tell his tragic experience.

The younger brother apparently forgot the outline of his abduction.Even if there is a great possibility, after he escapes, Anwen will make people follow him.But anyway, it's better not to talk about it.

The Duke himself has so many illegitimate children, and now Anwen is his adopted son.These are all things that happened after Anwen was adopted... It is conceivable that the more unlucky one should be the Duke.

Even if Anwen has losses, it won't be too much.

Skye instinctively didn't want Elsie to understand the outlines.And the decision she made for herself was to accept Anwen's resurrection.

Anwen was not angry at Skye's interruption.It was a pleasant surprise that Skye could understand what he meant.

Time to struggle in the Duke's hands.Anwen didn't dare to reveal his original name.He couldn't even help the only survivors, Skye and Elsie.

For this reason, he has already prepared for the worst - Skye is a girl with a younger brother, even if she falls into prostitution, there is nothing surprising.

Anwen's decision at the time was that when he had power, he would let all the perpetrators, including the Duke himself, pay for what happened to the Holt family.

But he has almost tormented the other heirs of the duke, and he himself has become one of the most powerful talents.When I went back to find someone to investigate the orphan of the Holt family, there was a huge gap.

Skye did not go to the point of being reduced to prostitution and dying in a foreign country.And Elsie is also studying well in Oxford.

fall!It was so different from what he had been implying to himself.

After careful investigation, Anwen saw Skye's hard work and achievements over the years.Even the subtle emotional changes between Skye and Fitzwilliam Darcy were under Anwen's watchful eyes.

In the meantime, although Skye rarely made some decisions that were not clear-headed...such as that Wickham...but the fault must not be his sister, but the man with no eyes.

Anwen has no bitterness and hatred, and confirms that the rest of Holt are living in harmony and happiness.Even if Skye still has some hidden secrets, Anwen is not in a hurry to recognize each other for a while.

He hid in the dark and witnessed Skye's growth for a period of time, and was deeply moved by his spirit.

And now... it's time for recognition.

The Holts deserve better, especially after being separated for so long.

Anwen opened his arms and made a hug gesture.

Before Skye had time to walk over, Elsie rushed into her brother's arms like a golf ball being shot out.

In this way, Skye can't take care of showing his reserve in a tone.Her eyes were indeed hot. After supporting herself for so many years, she finally had an older brother who could shelter her from all kinds of hatred... Skye walked over slowly, and the three hugged each other... The scene was touching.
