[Pride and Prejudice] Mrs Bennett

Chapter 44

The hasty departure of William Collins did not add a little haze to Grace's happy mood. The twins didn't quite understand this, but Mr. Bennett guessed the little thoughts in his wife's heart.Holding a pot of freshly brewed black tea in his hand, he slowly approached his wife's living room.

Grace leaned on the sofa with loose long hair, and the golden hair was bathed in the sunlight coming in through the window, looking so holy, coupled with his wife's gentle and soft white face, it really looked like a painting in the portrait. the Holy Mother of God.

But Mr. Bennett is very clear that his wife is not the kind and great existence, and her soft heart and tolerance will only be recognized by her.Mr. Bennett did not participate too much in the apparent return of the Collins brothers and sisters to the Bennett family, and even had a good time with William Collins in the study after he returned to Langbourne.

Mr. Bennett put down the tray, and added milk and cube sugar to the black tea with his slender fingers as if dancing. Then he turned his head and raised his hand to hook the hair on Grace's cheek behind his ear, and looked at her tenderly. :"tired?"

"Hmm." Without opening her eyes, Grace snorted lazily as an answer.

"After Mary and Catherine get married and Dylan gets married, we can have a good rest." Mr. Bennet took Grace into his arms and gently massaged his temples.After a long silence, he continued, "You don't have to think about William, it's his own choice, you've done enough."

Grace slowly opened his eyes, and met Mr. Bennett's deep black eyes full of worry and pity, and his heart became very warm.

"I have no guilt, no anger, and no hatred, Cecil." Smelling the masculine scent on Mr. Bennett, Grace closed his eyes again and leaned against his arms, "For me, William Lydia will never be able to compare with Dylan and the others."

On the surface, she treated the siblings and the Bennett children equally, but Grace didn't believe that Bennett couldn't see the difference.But even if it wasn't as good as it was, it was still emotional, how could Grace truly forgive him for what William Collins did.

If it was just about Wickham, Grace would just laugh it off. What made her really angry was that William Collins betrayed the Bennett family for his own future!

It's just that the marriage of the twins has also been settled now, and the relationship between Elizabeth and Darcy not only has an heir, but the relationship between husband and wife is still gluey, so why should she be that villain.Although the Collins brothers and sisters have nothing to do with the Bennett family legally, after all, the two brothers and sisters have lived in the Bennett Manor for so many years, and it is not so easy to tear them apart.

Rather than not knowing what the Collins brothers and sisters were doing outside or accidentally affecting the Bennett family one day, it would be better to keep them in their hands.

Besides, William's city is deeper than Lydia's. It's hard to say what he will do after the relationship is so alienated and indifferent. He only revealed the matter of Elizabeth and Darcy before. It's not too harmful. If some things about the Bennett family are leaked Get out, that's the big trouble.

Lydia's visit is a good time, so Grace plays a mother who is heartbroken by her child.

Ever since she came to this world, Grace has put on various masks, but this time the object of wearing the mask is the child she has raised for more than ten years. The mental fatigue is beyond comparison.

"I know, my Grace is the best." Mr. Bennet lowered his head and kissed Grace's forehead lightly, "Thank you for your hard work. I'm sorry, I can't share more."

"If it weren't for Cecil and William talking heart-to-heart, that child might not be so easy to believe." Grace smiled wryly, "Should I be proud or feel that I have failed, and the children I educated actually use their hearts and eyes on themselves."

William Collins has worked hard in society for so many years, and he is no longer the boy who used to laugh and laugh with the children at Bennet Manor.No, perhaps from the Bennett family, William Collins showed that he was not the real him.

"He is a Collins, not Bennett, my Grace." Mr. Bennett's tone was gentle, with deep black eyes, "Although our Dylan is excellent, he has never encountered any setbacks since he was a child. William Collins is here, so it would be good if he could wake up a bit."

Grace straightened up and took a sip of the milk tea. The rich milk fragrance made her breathe a long and comfortable sigh of relief: "No matter what, the result is good, right, Cecil? Since William told me to introduce him If you don’t care about your partner, then I don’t care about it. What I have to prepare now is the wedding of the twins and Dylan.”

The wedding of the twins was on the same day, and half a year after the two of them got married, Bennett Manor would also welcome a new mistress.

"Speaking of which, Fitzwilliam seems a little dissatisfied with Dylan and Georgiana's wedding?" Grace raised his eyebrows and asked after the cup was brought to Mr. Bennett's mouth.

Thinking of his wife's reply letter to Derbyshire, Mr. Bennet coughed uncomfortably. "Old Mr. Bennett has agreed, Grace, don't bother with Fitzwilliam..."

The rest of Mr. Bennet's words were blocked by his wife's white eyes.

"Now he feels that his sister is too young, and he wants to keep her for a few more years. Why didn't he think that Liz was not that old?" Grace squinted dissatisfiedly, "Georgiana will be eighteen next year, and Liz But the same marriageable age."

Mr. Bennet shook his head helplessly. His wife is usually generous and dignified, only when it comes to children.But Grace, who plays petty temper with him like this, is really cute, and most importantly, only he will see her side.

He often thanked his father from the bottom of his heart. If his father did not raise him differently from other families, he would not be so happy now.Not many men can accept a woman like Grace calmly.If he had not respected her, she would not have been able to return him with wisdom and happiness.

The current success of the Bennett family is due to his hard work, but among them, Grace is the most credited.

****

In the spring of the following year, Mary and Catherine wore the wedding dresses that Grace made for them, boarded the elegant and luxurious carriage with smiles on their faces, and left Longbourn with their newlywed husbands to marry in London.

After tearfully sending away the last two daughters in the family, Grace suddenly fell ill.Ever since she came to this world, she has always been in good health and rarely gets sick.Oftentimes healthy people tend to get sicker when they get sick, and Grace was like that. At first it was just a cold, but later it was a fever and he couldn't get up in bed.

Except for the twins who just got married, all the children who came back to attend the wedding stayed in Langborn and never left.If Grace hadn't ordered the twins not to know when she was just sick, which would have delayed their newlyweds and their husband's relationship, Mary and Catherine would have rushed back overnight.

Western medicine in this era is far less developed than later generations. Grace, who developed pneumonia due to a cold, was tossed hard, and finally improved after half a month.After Mr. Bennett learned that Grace's illness had improved, he hid in the study alone and wept with joy. Before Dylan had time to be happy for his mother's improvement, he was almost overwhelmed by the various affairs thrown by his father. The neck is broken.

Before this, Dylan had always thought that he had been squeezed by his father to almost have no private time. After he really took over all the affairs of the Bennett family, he realized that those things were really nothing.But after seeing his father who put all his thoughts on his mother, he could only sigh secretly and work hard in silence.

The only thing Dylan can do is to ask Darcy and Elizabeth to pay more attention to Georgiana's education.His father has his mother to help him with half of the family affairs, and Dylan only hopes that his future partner can be as capable as his mother.

Dylan still trusts Georgiana in her ability, but it is impossible for her to become a qualified Viscountess immediately, and it will take time and experience.

Thinking that he had to bear the responsibility of running the entire Bennett family before that, Dylan felt like crying.Mingming's mother often said that no matter how old they were, they were still children in her eyes, but now his father wanted him to be the pillar of the family!

He murmured in his heart that life was still going well, and after gradually straightening out things, Dylan finally had some time to spend freely.After seeing his father's smiling face and his mother's increasingly rosy face, Dylan's last discomfort disappeared.

Compared with those who try to get some real power, he is already extremely happy, and he is the only man in the family, and he has no inheritance disputes. It's just a little hard work, so why bother with these trivial things .

And it was the parents who had been working hard for their children before, and now it's time for him to repay his parents.

Although most of his mind was on Grace, Mr. Bennett, who still had some time for his son, finally let out a sigh of relief.In fact, he didn't expect to hand over everything to Dylan so soon, but this time Grace's illness really frightened him.

He always felt that there was still more time for the two of them, but seriously, they were not too young now.Nowadays, the average age of the upper class is around 50 to 60 years old. Even if they are well maintained, he and Grace still have about [-] years left.

Now that the Bennett family is an aristocrat, the daughters are all married, and the son has also made a marriage contract. It is almost time to fulfill his promise to Grace.
