[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

As the carriage swayed on the way to Mr. Darcy's house, various thoughts circulated in Skye.Elsie should be in no danger now in London.It's just that whether he can withstand the news of Anwen's death is still uncertain.

And Anwen...Anwen...Anwen...

Mr. Darcy didn't want Skye to be stuck in that cycle of remembering and thinking for too long.He thought about it, and said to Skye in an uncertain tone: "Have you ever thought that maybe Anwen is the same as you were at that time."

The children of the Holt family seem to have very similar qualities, especially between Skye and Anwen. They lived and grew up in different places, experienced completely different people and things, and when they finally met, they found that they The perception of things is frighteningly similar.

What Mr. Darcy meant was that if Skye had suspended animation while he was in the Sky Bookstore, would it be possible for Anwen to make arrangements early in the morning, arrange everything, and then escape with suspended animation?

Skye managed to get some thoughts out of the grief, she directly denied Darcy's hypothesis, and said decisively: "No. It's impossible for Anwen to feign death under my nose and escape. If so, I will definitely know .And he can completely confess to us, or even more simply, let us fake death together. Don't forget, he also left Elsie behind, which is not good for Elsie at all!"

Mr. Darcy was taken aback by Skye's reaction.He pressed Skye's shoulder, hoping she wouldn't be so agitated.She almost stood up in the carriage just now, and it would be bad if she hit her head.

"Then how are you going to tell Elsie what happened?"

"I think he can always hear it from others. Does it have to be me?" Skye was a little confused by Darcy's question.

It wasn't a part Skye was familiar with -- explaining the death of one of her own relatives to another.This behavior made Skye hesitate slightly.

"I don't think it would be a good thing for you to let Elsie hear the news from others." Mr. Darcy disagreed with Skye's idea: "You should tell him directly that you are the person he knows best gone."

Skye's eyes met Mr. Darcy's for a moment.She was moved by his serious expression.But soon, her expression turned into a pleading mood.

"Elsie and you are also very familiar... I think this kind of thing, if you tell him instead, at least your attitude can be calmer, and he... can also get through this level better. "Skye smiled wryly, and she basically wiped off the dust on her face, and Mr. Darcy's original white handkerchief turned a terrible gray. "I don't want to bring him bad news."

Mr. Darcy did not find this opinion very good to reject.It is better to let two grieving people grieve together than to have one person give a considerable explanation from the sidelines.

He heard Skye say again: "At least I can calmly announce Anwen's affairs to outsiders. I think I have to learn to face this fact."

Life seemed to return to the way it was before Anwen appeared in an instant.But everyone knows that there are two completely different states of a person who has existed and who has never existed.

For the moment, Skye and Mr. Darcy have at least one agreement.They assigned how to announce the news.

The carriage wobbled to a halt at the gate of Darcy's villa.Skye suddenly thought of a question, and she asked seriously: "If you were asked to announce Anwen's death, what position are you going to stand on?"

"Your friend, his elder?" Darcy hesitated obviously.

He had got out of the carriage and was holding out his hand to help Skye down.

"That's a really good idea." Skye said dryly.

She got out of the car carefully with the help of Mr. Darcy.Coming out of the scene of the fire, tears streaming down her face may have challenged Skye's physical fitness a little bit. She was careful not to step on her skirt, but she still couldn't walk as neatly as usual.

"Be careful!" Mr. Darcy put his arms around her waist when she lost her center of gravity.There was still a faint smell of smoke on Skye's body, the smell of the fire scene, and the two of them were very close to each other, time seemed to be a joke, and it paused for an instant.

Nothing like this had ever happened to Mr. Darcy's coachman.He turned to see that there was no one in the carriage.I took it for granted that they had all gone to the villa.

As usual, the coachman swung his whip and made a loud crack in the air. He stared ahead without realizing it, and then drove the carriage forward.

Skye and Darcy's cover was removed in one go.They found themselves exposed in broad daylight in a very ambiguous posture.

People on the road didn't seem to realize what was going on here.What they see as just a man and woman in love is, in fact, a breakthrough development for both Skye and Darcy.

Looking around hastily, Skye tried to change the subject to ease the current embarrassing situation.

When she adjusted her mentality and was ready to face Mr. Darcy again.This man said in a very foul tone in her ear: "I thought about it, if I want to announce this news to Elsie, maybe I should be his brother-in-law?"

"This is not the most appropriate timing...but if you are serious..." Skye pulled his clothes and coughed dryly: "Then I agree."

It never occurred to Skye to make a dramatic proposal.After meeting a lot of people, seeing a lot of scenery, and making up countless love stories without any love experience, for Skye, the scene of her hypothetical marriage proposal is not a playboy socializing. Occasionally, he made many exaggerated moves to achieve his own reputation of being gentle and romantic.She only needs a very simple question, and the other party wants to make her feel at ease. In this case, she is already willing to give an affirmative answer.

So, aside from the bad timing, Skye felt it was almost a dream scenario.

"Don't you... don't you think it's not romantic enough?" Mr. Darcy was the one who was more disturbed.He chose to confess after Anwen's death, taking advantage of Skye's grief, he felt a sense of taking advantage of others' danger.And he thought of Mr. Charles in his study.There is only one plot in the book, not even the most traditional flowers and roses.Is there really no problem?

"It's never been this complicated." Skye shook his head, indicating to Darcy that they were still standing in the street.

The two hurried from outside to the villa.Georgiana was reading in the study, which Mr. Darcy had never forbidden.

"Skye? Brother?" Georgiana was startled by the sound of the door being pushed open.She saw that Skye's condition was not very good. Although his face had been wiped, he could still see a look of distress.

She didn't know what happened, but she just stood up with a bad premonition in her heart.

"Georgianna." Skye nodded cautiously to Georgiana.Facing Georgiana, this would be the first time she told the truth about Anwen's death.It's not the elder brother who was a child, but a life that has lived.

"What happened? You don't look good!"

Facing Georgiana's worries, Mr. Darcy almost told Anwen directly.

But Skye got a head start, and Darcy couldn't always play the part of announcing bad news for Georgiana.Besides... it would be much more appropriate for her to announce this news.

"I'm fine. But something did happen... I don't know how you'll react to the news, but I hope you're sensible."

These foreshadowings are very meaningless.But Skye insisted, and she made Georgiana sit on the sofa in the study.In her uneasy eyes, she said slowly: "My house was on fire just now... The fire was very intense, Anwen and he... didn't escape."

This statement sounds very cold, it seems that it is not Anwen who died, but some kind of cat, cat or dog.Skye adjusted his tone in embarrassment.Skye wasn't disrespectful to Anwen's death, the only reason she behaved like this was because she was angry at Georgiana's previous behavior.

It doesn't mean that whoever An Wen likes, that person will fall in love with him.But Skye felt that Anwen had done his best before, and Skye had always stood in the position of Georgiana to polish Ann... Georgiana was in the corridor when there was a banquet, which really made Anwen sad. ··

Skye persuaded himself that Georgiana was just a jerk.But she was still the one who started everything, and that was enough for her to vent her anger.

"He..." Georgiana felt a little dizzy.There was a vague feeling that something was breaking in her chest.She understood exactly what Skye meant.Grief washed over her, but she realized that Skye and her brother were watching her.They gave her enough leeway to ease, and she didn't have the position to show any grief-this realization made Georgiana a little sad.

Beyond these words, Skye didn't want to give Georgiana too much prodding.Not just because Mr. Darcy was listening, but the matter was over, at least as far as Georgiana was concerned.She can no longer meet someone like An Wen, and this is the best ending.
