[Pride and Prejudice] Sky Bookstore

This is not the first time this gentleman has visited the door.As early as when the bookstore was still owned by Mr. Claire, he had already started thinking about buying the bookstore.The purchase price is relatively generous compared to the market price.It's just that when Mr. Claire was there, he sold more or less his feelings, and the acquisition was hopeless.

After all, Mr. Claire became seriously ill. Charles visited frequently in the morning like a vulture smelling death, hoping to discuss the acquisition of Claire's bookstore again.

He thought that he had the chance to win, after all, whether it was his familiarity with the law, funds or even his physical condition.He's always the one who has the upper hand.

After all, Mr. Clare does not have any obvious heirs.

Hastily and seriously ill, it is impossible to find a successor... Even if there is, it is extremely clumsy, and the acquisition must be easy.

Unexpectedly, the old Claire would stubbornly search the family tree and deduce a distant relative from three generations up.And at the last moment of his death, the down-and-out foreigner rushed to the town in time to take over the inheritance from Claire.

Skye Holt looks down and out.The person who seems to be easy to defeat has jumped over the traps set by Charles several times, even more troublesome than Claire before, and firmly occupies the ownership of the bookstore.

Charles was very distressed by this. Fortunately, he soon discovered that Skye Holt's physical condition was not satisfactory, so he was always willing to come and visit one or two bookstores between the acquisitions of other bookstores.

Skye rested for a while, and when he opened his eyes, he saw that Charles was still standing there reading a book, as if he had no intention of leaving.

The sky has gradually darkened, and the gentleman is still in vain today.This made Skye feel a little better. She twitched the corners of her mouth and said dryly: "It seems that I have to hurry up and find an heir, Mr. Charles."

Charles closed the book with a snap.The smile that had been on his face for a long time was slightly sold out. Just the last smoldering red glow in the sky, he sighed indistinctly, and said seemingly unintentionally: "Okay. I have almost selected, it seems There are no books I need."

"Of course, you are a big bookseller yourself, so of course you won't lack any books." Skye replied frankly.

She watched the uninvited visitor who stayed for a long time walk out of the store, not sure if she heard a sentence before the store door was closed: "Winter is coming, the bookstore must take good fire prevention measures!"

Skye's heart tightened, and she watched Charles walk out of the gate.

The sky was dim, and the night fell again. Skye looked at a cabinet in the store thoughtfully, and sat motionless for a long time.

Anna and that lucky florist, Witkey, get married in the second half of the month.

Since Witkey succeeded in proposing marriage by chance, it is necessary to be nice to Anna. At the same time, his attitude towards Skye has undergone a 180-degree change.

This kind of idiot would never think of using the posture of a winner to show off his might.Wiki is unbelievably more wary of Skye. Every day when Skye buys food, he stays close to Anna, acting as if Skye is a scourge and will hinder him from being with Anna.

If Skye was in a good mood and tried to distract him from communicating with Anna alone, this stupid guy was like boiling hot water, almost boiling.

Ana could see that Skye was playing tricks on Wilkey, and at first she just smiled a few times.Later, he even defended his fiancé-to-be, which made Skye shout that it was no fun, people in love are the most difficult creatures in the world, and then Skye teased Anna's eccentricity, which made her blush.

The only joy in flirting with the new couple is Mr. Darcy who comes to the door every day.

He seems to regard the bookstore as a place to kill time, coming every day when the store opens and leaving when it closes.

Skye satirized and quarreled, but the final result was that Mr. Darcy's level was getting deeper and deeper, and he could not easily break through his hard barrier.

In other words, bickering is no fun if it cannot be won.

Skye and Darcy exchanged their feelings on many things, at least Fitzwilliam did not feel sorry for his education and family background, and what he said and did was very standard.

"A gentleman like you should be robbed after entering the social circle." Skye said jokingly once.

She and Darcy knew each other well enough for such jokes.We communicated a lot, and always talked about the most intimate things. Skye told Darcy about the old house where she grew up. That gloomy house was a concentrated reflection of her childhood shadows, but it was really ruined. When I was young, I realized that the days to come may not be happier than when I was a child.

And based on the principle of exchange, Skye also knew how superior Darcy's family was.The manor in Pemberley and the real estate shops in various places, the terrible wealth accumulated for generations and the annual income that is astonishing every year.This seemingly arrogant guest does have arrogant capital.

Mr. Darcy had learned not to answer Skye's teasing.

Otherwise, even if two men are discussing this issue, they will always jump to an extremely weird angle.If Skye made up his mind to stalk a topic, the good time of reading that day would basically be wasted.

"What are you going to do about the person who bought your bookstore?"

Mr. Darcy, who has stayed in the bookstore for a long time, now has a clear understanding of the layout of the Sky Bookstore, flipped through the books on a shelf, and began to spy on the precious books in the cabinet where Skye was.

"I'm not going to solve it. It's a day to delay...or will you help me?" Skye turned a page of the book and said something seemingly casually.

Darcy didn't answer.

The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.

The corner of Skye's mouth curled up slightly. At this time, there was just a sentence written in the book - whoever plays games all his life will achieve nothing, and whoever cannot dominate himself will always be a slave.

She leisurely counted the days, she shouldn't depend on others for anything, and it's about time for her to think about how she will go in the future.

It was very late when Darcy returned to the hotel every day.He is not stuck in this small town near London with nothing to do.Although his father is still very healthy, but the business has been taken over by him one after another.When he decided to stay here for a while, old Mr. Darcy did not stop him, but there were many letters that followed, not one of which was missing.

Still the same sentence, would Darcy envy Wickham who was with his father in the autumn hunting, enjoying his father's love and happy time?

It can only be said that this dark side has been polished to the point where there is nothing left in the quarrel with Skye and piles of letters.When I first met that Skye, I thought he was a strange and inexplicable guy. When he was poked in the sore foot, Darcy really thought about throwing down his gloves and fighting that dwarf.

But after getting to know each other for a long time, I realized that the owner is a very thorough person. He can analyze many of his own thoughts, but he doesn't expose them easily.This measure is well grasped, so getting along with him has become a very comfortable thing.

Darcy had thought about whether to help Sky Bookstore acquire it.Although Skye and Skye are already friends, it is precisely because of Skye's talent and the poor condition of his bookstore that Darcy hopes that he can get out of his past, leave the heavy burden of the bookstore, and do this. Things to do at your age.

Otherwise, Darcy felt that he could already foresee a dilapidated sky bookstore and a ruined Skye Holt 20 years later.

He sat at the desk late at night, flipping through dozens of letters. Two servants came to Pemberley not long ago. They solved most of the chores for Darcy, and also took care of some cleaning work in the Sky Bookstore.

Skye refused at first, and asked Darcy's servant to help her clean the bookstore. The thick layer of "thin dust" that was swept away, and the cobwebs of "art" in the corners were all like cutting flesh on her body. Same.

But Darcy's determination made Skye ashamed. She didn't know that Darcy had no cleanliness, and was forced to an unbearable level during the time with her.But after Skye stopped it a few times, out of some considerations, he didn't stop Darcy from being cleaned.

At the end of October, Anna and Witkey's wedding took place as scheduled.

The enthusiastic Mrs. Aisha presided over the engagement ceremony. Although Anna's parents were wary of Skye, a weird man, they still tolerated Skye's visit and gifts with a smile on this day.

To be honest, if Skye cleaned himself up a little bit more and let his feelings for Anna out a bit, it would be possible for them to be together.

But in view of Skye's weirdness as always, to be on the safe side, Anna's parents also pushed the boat smoothly for the marriage between their daughter and Wilkey.

"Will Skye be our child's godfather?" After the ceremony, Anna, who was dressed very beautifully, held Wilkey's hand and called out to Skye.

Skye froze for a moment, and she looked at the newlyweds—they stood in front of the church door, under the cross, under the warm sunlight, and kindly extended an invitation to her.

"Does Witkey agree? He probably doesn't want me, a book seller, to be the shopkeeper and the godfather of the future child!" Skye smiled, still as if he didn't care about anything.

"You..." Wilkey was very angry. He was sure that he would never have the chance to sit down and chat with Skye in his lifetime, but at this moment he endured it and sincerely said to Skye: " Anna and I discussed it, you have studied, and it is just right to be our child's godfather."

"Then you already have children?"

"..." The over-excited newcomer fell silent immediately.

——Although not, but there is no rule that you can't think about it, after all, they are already a legal husband and wife.

"Okay." Skye held her forehead helplessly, she thought for a while and asked, "What is the child's name going to be called?"

They couldn't be crazy if they were a married couple, Skye thought angrily.

"...Alice?" "Roman?..." The young couple immediately fell into their sweet little entanglement.They discussed with each other, completely immersed in this 'interesting' topic.Put Skye aside.

The owner of the bookstore didn't want to hear them show their affection, so Skye pulled Widget into a corner and threatened him that he must treat Anna well.At the end, he suddenly said in a very sincere and serious tone: "Wilkey, I have something to ask you to help me..."
