[Pride and Prejudice] Becoming Katherine Bennett

Catherine looked at the letter in her hand.

The words on the letter were in a font she was familiar with, and the poor-handed Garamond script had always been a pain in her heart.

The letter she held in her hand was the second page of a letter, on which she wrote: "... into a gentleman's family, the problem is solved. But considering that England has so many beautiful and rich dowries As a young married woman, I doubt that I will be lucky enough to step into marriage.

My request for marriage is indeed more troublesome than others. I don’t want to wrong my heart for money, and I understand that it is impossible to live on love alone in this world. After thinking about it, it seems that only people with talent, appearance, and money , I may fall in love with him.And this is only possible, I may not necessarily fall in love with him.

But such a gentleman, what kind of lady can't find it?I thought about it, but I couldn't think of a reason why such a gentleman favored me.

Since I am not very optimistic about marriage, and my father's estate will be inherited by others, the young gentleman may not be mentioned.In short, considering the future, I have to plan first to prevent such a tragic situation from rushing to marry in order to have a meal, or being driven to the street without getting married, so I can only find a way out for myself .

Uncle and aunt, please help me find a real estate in London in your spare time.I have no idea about prices in London. The conditions are not high but not low. I have no requirements for the size of the house. I am satisfied with a two- or three-room apartment. It is best to have a big glass window. Every morning, the sunshine It can shine into the house, and I will put muslin on the table by the window, and if conditions permit, I will buy another bouquet of delicate flowers.

Getting a cat is also on my mind.

The budget is about 2000 pounds. You can rent it or buy it. I will tell you the source of the money in person.I don't dare to think of a neighborhood that is too expensive, but I hope the law and order nearby is good.

I know these two things are contradictory.I can only trouble you to help me find out first. I don’t need to reply to the letter. I will go to London in the near future, and then I will go to you directly.

And, please don't tell the rest of the family.

Catherine Bennett

Ullongbourne"

Willard kept looking at Catherine with great interest, until he had admired the embarrassment of this usually firm and calm lady, and then he opened his mouth and said: "This does not seem to be a letter for me, but judging from the content of the letter, This letter is very important."

Catherine pretended to be calm: "This is a letter I wrote to my uncle. It was sent out on the same day as the manuscript for you, so it was caught together, sorry."

Although she could hold on on the surface, in fact, Catherine was very annoyed at her mistake this time.

When writing this letter, although she did not confess to her uncle and aunt that she had no intention of getting married at all, most of the contents of the letter were her true feelings.

Because of her own experience, she has very high requirements for relationships and marriage.This request has nothing to do with money, but with love.

She expects her marriage to be the result of two people's love being strong enough and after rational thinking, they understand that after marriage they will face the ups and downs of life together, and holding hands represents not only a piece of paper, but also It is a responsibility, an obligation, and a tough love.

That's why she never held out hope and believed that she would be alone for the rest of her life.Not to mention in this day and age, when you get married, you have to give all your property to your husband.Adding these two points together, Catherine had long ago made up her mind not to get married.

She wrote these thoughts in the hope that her uncle and aunt could understand her current situation and not refuse her request to help her look at the house. After all, she does not have the conditions to shop and look around in London alone, and a house is a must. .

Catherine admitted that when she wrote the letter, she thought of a lot of bad experiences in the past, and she was in a very bad mood, and the final words she wrote were very artificial in her opinion.But she hesitated again and again, and still didn't revise it, and sent the letter. First, she didn't want to write another letter and recall the past again. Second, she also felt sorry for the letter paper, which was too expensive.

If you are pretentious, just be pretentious, anyway, I believe only the two elders will see it.

When Catherine sent the letter, she never thought that the letter would fall into the hands of a completely unfamiliar man, and this was actually caused by her own careless mistake.

She felt the nerves on her face beating violently all the time. She looked at Mr. Gordon with embarrassment, embarrassment, anger, annoyance and other mixed emotions in her heart, and it was almost difficult to maintain a fake smile.

Catherine hoped that Mr. Gordon would wink, and that she had better leave at once.

"It's okay," Mr. Gordon pretended not to understand her expression. "Speaking of which, I should apologize to you. I thought it was sent to me at first, so I read it all. I apologize to you here. Miss Nate forgive me."

Having said that, he saluted Catherine hypocritically.

Catherine stared at him angrily, and endured it for a long time before letting the phrase "Get out of here" come out of her mouth.

Willard continued: "To be honest, at first I thought I was wrong. After all, I had the impression that Miss Bennett's pen was used to write epic heroes. It is really unimaginable that she can have such a female character." Your tenderness and sensibility, your writing is really excellent, and..."

"Mr. Gordon," Catherine interrupted, fearing that she would lose her mind if she continued to listen, and punch Mr. Gordon's handsome face with a daring punch, "I think it's getting late, don't you?" Time to go back to London?"

"I just arrived." Willard looked at the rising sun in the sky in the east, "But now I can just go back in time for breakfast, and I eat breakfast much later than your family."

"Then why don't you leave?"

"Don't go."

Catherine stared at Mr. Gordon's seemingly polite but dark face, announcing in her heart that he was the second one she wanted to exhale after wearing it.

The last one to have this honor was her family's horse.

"You want to buy a house in London? In case your father dies and you don't have a place to live?"

Catherine was silent for a while before she opened her mouth, her tone filled with a "do whatever you like" dejection: "Yes, I wrote it in my letter, didn't you see it?"

"Oh yes, as soon as you said it, I remembered that I did read this letter, but I also apologized to you just now, or should I do it again?" Mr. Gordon said seriously.

Catherine stared at him for a moment, realizing that the man had more faces than she had thought.She used to think that he was only dangerous, but now she added another one, thinking that the other party is also wicked and teasing.

After scolding Mr. Gordon a hundred times in her heart, Catherine suppressed the anger in her heart and said, "This time I made a mistake. This mistake is low-level and ridiculous. I can't think of what to say. I hope you can put this matter to good use." I forgot about it. Thank you for sending me the letter. If it wasn’t for you, I probably wouldn’t have known that uncle hadn’t received the letter, and it would have wasted a lot of time looking for a house.”

Seeing her drooping head, Willard stopped deliberately teasing her and said with a smile, "Maybe I can help you with your real estate, Miss Bennett. I have a friend who is in the business of renting and selling houses. I can ask him to help you find a relatively affordable house."

Catherine is very moved. Sometimes, for her hard work, it is just a simple explanation to the big man.But she was moved for less than ten seconds, and politely refused: "Thank you, Mr. Gordon, but I think it's better to let my uncle and aunt work hard first. If they can't find it, I will trouble you."

Willard looked at Catherine with a smile, knowing that the scene of "I'll trouble you again" she said would never happen.

"You got to know my personality very quickly. Do you think that if you refuse directly, I will definitely argue with you?" Willard said, his voice was no longer the standard cadence before, but became a little lazy.

When he said this, he raised his right hand, his bony fingers ran into his black hair, and caressed his hair back casually.

A simple action, made by him, is extremely masculine and masculine.If he was at a glamorous dance party, he would surely be able to charm a group of young ladies in an instant.

It's a pity that he is now in the countryside, surrounded by rolling green hills and quiet air.There was also a pretty girl at the scene, but she seemed completely unmoved.

"Yes, sir, I found you to be very rebellious," Catherine said honestly, "Besides, the Orientals say that you don't get rewarded for nothing, so I can't afford to pay you back such a big kindness. It's better to owe you."

Catherine's words and frankness made Willard smile again.

"You're right, Miss Bennett, that it's a troublesome thing to owe a favor. But do you not want to owe everyone, or do you want me alone?"

"Of course it's everyone, I'm even more afraid of your favor."

"Why?" Willard said with a little interest in his tone, "I found out before that you seem to be afraid of me, but you are not afraid of me."

Catherine said wittily: "This is because you are scary, but not scary."

"Oh?" Willard dragged on the end of the voice very long.

"I think, although you have always been gentle and polite to me, I guess you must also have a scary side. I am very glad that I have not seen it, and I hope I will never see it. In this way, in my mind, only you are not scary , you can safely and boldly think that you are a good person."

Hearing Catherine's words, Willard became happy.

He smiled very happily. He looked at Catherine with a burning light in his eyes: "Hahahaha, I knew it, Catherine, I knew it."

I knew you must understand me.

Willard rode his horse here before dawn today. It was a whim, but there was a reason for it.

When he received Catherine's latest book "Blood Debt", he didn't feel much about reading "Blood Repayment", and spent nearly a day reading all the existing manuscripts.

He likes this book.If "Blood Repayment" is just a book that makes him feel that its design is exquisite and will definitely sell well, then "Blood Debt" made him truly understand the reason why others are obsessed with the book world.

Phoenix Nirvana, reborn from ashes.

Willard's fingers caressed his chin, and his smile was dangerous and charming.

Isn't this himself?
