[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

Drag Anwen out of the dimly lit place.Skye saw that he was still wearing the clothes he wore when he went out in the morning. The clothes were black and torn, and looked like they had been dragged on the ground for a long time.There were many scratches on Anwen's body, large and small, and the wound was no longer fresh and tender, but dark red and black, with some pus coming out.

Skye couldn't help but gasped.

But now that things are done.They have no reason to stay here.

Skye asked Anwen to be carried to the carriage.And the guard here and another detainee should be sent to the police station.

"How did you find me?" The carriage bumped back and forth on the way back.Anwen gritted his teeth and asked Skye to treat him with some minor wounds. The fractured part could only be fixed with wooden planks first, and the left-behind doctor would treat him carefully after returning home.

"I looked through more than half of the records in your study....Mr. Daxi and I are two people." She glanced at Mr. Darcy who was sitting in another carriage with some guilt.

"I made a very serious mistake."

"Yes, you shouldn't have gone to the Duke's. I wonder if you have been under some kind of witchcraft. Maybe sometime you'd like to tell me what you were thinking this morning?"

"..." Anwen looked at Skye dumbfounded.After a while, he asked again: "After I disappeared, you didn't go to Ante, did you?"

"Do you think that's possible?" Skye asked back.

Of course not.Anwen himself knew that after he disappeared, the first thing Skye and Darcy did together was to go to Ante to confirm his whereabouts.But what puzzled him was how could this Ante let Skye get out of the way, and still happily search for his whereabouts in London in the middle of the night?

"How did you do that?" he murmured, not expecting Skye to answer his own question.

Skye did not say.This was another thing she didn't want to mention in her whole life besides the sky bookstore fire incident.

"Did you agree to his request?"

And even if Skye didn't say it, Anwen roughly guessed the outline.He was very aware of the terrible consequences that promise Ante would cause, and he was even more worried that Skye would do something stupid for his safety.

But Anwen obviously overestimated his physical fitness at this time.While in the cellar, his wounds were left unattended, and his questions were quickly drained due to thin clothes.Although he wanted to prop up his body and make the questioning more serious, he couldn't do it. In the end, he just fell on the cushion and could only lie down and look at Skye's side face.

"I won't do such a stupid thing like you." Skye bluntly expressed the meaning of her refusal: "You don't ask this question. I won't tell you."

In order to let Anwen not be obsessed with such fruitless issues, she found other things to distract Anwen's attention. "Elsie is about to arrive in London. For safety's sake, I will send someone to pick him up. The Duke probably doesn't have many days left to live. The question now is... do you still want to get engaged?"

Skye is not asking about love in this question.They all know that in Anwen's hastily appointed engagement game, love does not exist at all.

Originally, this choice cannot be said to be bad.After the matter is over, Anwen can live with that girl forever, and even if they seem to be in harmony, they can still achieve a very prestigious marriage.

But it's different now.Before seeing Anwen's information report, Skye could comfort herself like this, but after knowing more things, Skye has more understanding of the girl Anwen chose, and even the family behind her. Intuitive understanding.

That girl... She also has a man she loves.It seems that their generation has been poisoned by romance novels.Little girls always fantasize about a prince charming or a talented underappreciated youth falling in love with her.The future wife that Anwen chose for himself has a history of elopement twice, which is one of the reasons why the other family is anxious to marry her.

"I think we should proceed as usual." Anwen closed his eyes.Although he was rescued, the bad things may still surround him for a while, and there is still a tough battle to fight, but now he feels exhausted in advance.

"Are you sure she's still willing to marry you? I'm not optimistic about that."

Skye just said it offhand.They returned to the villa before dawn.After Mr. Darcy accompanied Skye to solve most of the things, he didn't stay any longer, but went home to report Georgiana's safety.

Anwen did not communicate with Mr. Darcy during the whole process.Despite this, his eyes did not deviate from Darcy's body too many times.He obviously made an assessment, finally closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

Skye continued to work tiredly alone.She also has to welcome Elsie back, and strengthen the surrounding security measures.

Mr. Darcy, who returned to his own residence, was not surprised that Georgiana sat in front of the fireplace in his study and waited anxiously.Although she was holding the embroidery in her hand, she wanted to show a little indifference, but when Darcy pushed the door in, Georgiana stood up the first time.

"You do it first." Mr. Darcy pursed his lips. He walked to his desk and took a sip of tea.

"How is Skye? Is she okay now?" Georgiana shook her head. She stood there and asked Skye, but everyone knew her exact intention.

"It has nothing to do with you." Mr. Darcy frowned.He looked at Georgiana carefully, and asked suspiciously, "Have you been waiting here for so long?"

Georgiana shook her head subconsciously.

"Don't lie to me, you know, the butler will tell me everything."

In the face of Darcy's stern questioning, sophistry seems to have become the most useless thing.Georgiana thought that her brother had never been able to deceive since he was a child.He was always able to spot all her disguises.But at the same time, Georgiana herself was also wondering, she was also very curious, what exactly did she need?

She really missed Anwen very much. Although the man had a strong sense of presence, there didn't seem to be much communication between the two of them.Georgiana shook her head in confusion. She hadn't sorted out her inner thoughts, so naturally she couldn't confess anything.

"Anwen has been rescued. He made himself very bad."

Darcy gave Georgiana some time to think.But he still told about Anwen's situation.

"That's really great." Georgiana said unconsciously.

"He will still hold an engagement ceremony with his betrothed. We will all go there at that time, and this has not changed at all." Mr. Darcy saw it more clearly than Georgiana. He understood that his sister was standing now At what kind of turning point, although she is still confused, one day she will understand her mind.

It's a pity that Anwen is really not a suitable man for her.When she understands, she will inevitably be sad for a while.

"I know." Georgiana was reminded of this fact again.She was a little sad, but it was still within the controllable range.Neither her pride nor her upbringing allowed her to do anything superfluous.

She should be happy that Anwen is fine.But at this time, another completely unfamiliar feeling of loss swept over her.Georgiana hastily told Darcy that she was not feeling well, and then left.

Bad things come with Elsie.

Skye placed Elsie, who hadn't fully understood the request, in the room next to Anwen.At Anwen's request, she spent several hours telling her brother the whole story.

After this, Skye received a letter from the woman's family.

"Is it bad news?"

"Isn't that expected?" Skye frowned.She didn't quite understand Anwen's expression of relief.But it can be seen that Anwen obviously gave up something.He has made a decision.

"Show me." Anwen stretched out his hand.

Skye handed him the letter.

"Ah... It's just that the young lady eloped with someone? Then I became a poor person?" Anwen was extraordinarily calm about what happened to him.As if watching someone else having fun, he asked Skye, "How do you think I'm going to handle this?"

"If you ask me that, why not think about how much damage this situation will cause." Skye said, frowning.She took over some information left by Anwen, and recently felt that she could no longer be optimistic.

Anwen's situation is worse than imagined.He's already been an acrobat walking on high ropes before.No matter how hard he tried to block the kidnapping, it couldn't hold back the gossip from the Duke.

Someone was going to cut his rope, but Anwen's rope was actually not much stronger than the hemp rope he was hanging from.

"Skye, don't be so pessimistic! We still have a choice, and things are not that bad."

But one thing is completely predictable.Both Anwen and Skye knew that with the so-called "elopement" of the woman, the matter of joining forces with others to fight against the Duke has completely come to naught. Anwen is alone and helpless, while the other party is in the rage of dying.

"I want to know what your retreat is." Skye wanted to grab Anwen by the collar and ask him. She controlled her violent tendencies, but she still got very close to Anwen, loudly question him.

"Give me a few more days. This is a serious issue. I have my own criteria." Anwen yawned, and he chased Skye out of his room.
