Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Sir William was pondering, while Ivan was waiting. After all, he had been waiting for so many months, and it didn't matter if he waited a little longer.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wells, although you are sincere to Caroline, I still dare not marry my daughter to you easily." Ivan, who had been waiting for a long time, did not expect to get Sir William's answer. The face is unbelievable.

Sir William touched his beard with his hand before continuing: "Of course, you can think that I refused you to marry Caroline because you were not rich. Now that you have money, then this obstacle does not exist. But I I know that many people will become different after they change from poor to rich. I know Caroline loves you very, very much, but what worries me is that you don't love her as much as you used to."

Ivan never thought that Sir William would be so worried. He couldn't help but look at the closed door, guessing that Caroline was inside.I haven't seen her for such a long time, I don't know if she is the same as before?

But thinking about it carefully, Sir William's thoughts are also very common, after all, the happiness of his daughter is also very important.Just when Ivan was about to promise again, a male voice sounded: "Sir William, I think, I can guarantee that Ivan's love for Miss Caroline has not changed from the original with his possession of money."

"Count Max, your visit to the humble abode really makes the humble abode radiant." Seeing Earl Max enter the living room, Sir William's voice was full of excitement when he went up to meet him.

"Thank you, Sir William, but I am here today to help my friend Mr. Wells propose to Miss Caroline." Earl Max's words dispelled Sir William's few remaining worries.The current Ivan is not what it used to be. If he rejects his marriage proposal, Sir William will still feel a little distressed.

That being the case, with the guarantee from Earl Max, Sir William said after a short thought: "Then, I will go and talk to Caroline and ask her what she means."

This was considered a promise, and Ivan's eyes shone brightly, wishing he could rush behind the door and meet Caroline.Sir William walked towards the living room, his face already full of smiles, and it was wonderful to be able to marry another daughter, and this son-in-law had clearly made a fortune.

It would be even better if Charlotte could marry Earl Max.No, take advantage of Earl Max's visit this time, try to match them up.

Sir William came to the living room and knocked on the door. The door opened immediately, and a girl couldn't wait to ask, "What's the name of the owner of Netherfield? Is he beautiful? And, is he married?"

Sir William tried his best to keep his face calm, and only said seriously to the girls: "You will find out soon. My dear child, Caroline, come out quickly, I have something to tell you."

Caroline was very surprised why her father asked her to go out at this time, but she still walked out of the house obediently.

Sir William closed the door again and looked at his daughter: "Caroline, I know, later on you will see someone you have missed for a long time, but promise me, don't be too excited, otherwise, I will feel that my parents Having held you for so many years, a cat-haired boy can hook you away."

Missed someone for a long time?Caroline immediately thought of Ivan, and before Sir William finished expressing his feelings, she lifted her skirt and rushed out.Ivan was talking to Earl Max in the living room, when he heard footsteps, he turned his head and smiled happily.

When Caroline rushed to Ivan's side, she covered her face with her hands to keep the exclamation from coming out, but her eyes had already revealed the joy at the moment.

Ivan stretched out his hands to Caroline: "Caroline, I have obtained your father's permission to marry you. I remember you once said that Netherfield Gardens is a beautiful manor. Then, we can marry you in the future." Made home in Netherfield."

This was an unexpected joy, tears in Caroline's eyes were about to flow, she tried hard to control herself before she walked to Ivan's side: "No, Ivan, as long as you are by my side, I will live in a farmer's hut , I am also willing."

"You are the person I love the most, how could I be willing to let you live in such a place." Ivan's eyes were still very gentle.The conversation between lovers is always so silly, Earl Max was a little impatient, and decided to give up the living room to the long-lost couple, so he quietly walked out.

There was a lot of people coming and going outside, and Earl Max walked towards a small hillside, where there seemed to be some scenery to see.When he walked to the hillside, Earl Max found that he could see Netherfield Gardens from here.

"Thank you, Earl!" When Earl Max was thinking a lot, he suddenly heard Charlotte's voice and turned around in surprise. face.

"Why do you want to thank me?" Earl Max's eyes began to sparkle when he saw his sweetheart.

"Because Ivan would not have thought of renting Netherfield Gardens. This idea should be yours. But I am surprised that you seem to be a little too active in this matter." Charlotte's words made Earl Max laugh : "That's true. I came up with the idea of ​​renting Netherfield Gardens, but you have to believe that I came up with this idea purely to make it easier for Ivan to propose marriage."

Charlotte's eyes were full of disbelief, and Earl Max touched his nose and laughed: "Of course, if I want to tell you that I want to have a good relationship with my future brother-in-law, will you be very angry?"

"My sister, Catherine is engaged, and her wedding is tomorrow." Charlotte's evasiveness made Earl Max laugh again: "Cunning Charlotte, how can you make people believe that you are the one?" Where is Mrs Collins?"

"It doesn't matter, Earl, you have to know that most people only believe what they want to believe." Charlotte's words stretched the smile on Earl Max's face: "This is the first time you haven't discussed this issue." Get angry with me."

"Because, maybe I understand that I can't go back again. In this case, let me be Charlotte." After Charlotte finished speaking, she inevitably added a trace of depression, and sat down on the hillside with her knees hugged. Looking at the Netherfield Garden not far away: "You know what? Earl, I don't like all this."

"But you still accepted all of this." The count also sat down, pulled a stalk of grass and put it in his mouth.

"Grandma said, no matter what time it is, don't panic, even if you encounter difficulties, you must live well." Charlotte looked at the changing clouds in the distance, and the confusion in her eyes had disappeared.

"Do I know your grandma?" Charlotte shook her head: "Of course I don't. In fact, she hasn't been born yet."

These words startled Earl Max: "So, you, from the future?"

Seeing Charlotte nodding, Earl Max suddenly laughed: "So, what does the future look like?"

"You don't think my words are absurd, do you?" Charlotte still asked worriedly, and Earl Max shook his head: "No, have I told you that I have traveled outside for many years, listening to A lot of things have been said, or so to speak, that would not be acceptable to God. But since they exist, then I think there may be places that God has not noticed."

"Actually, it's not that many years. The time I came here was more than 70 years later than now. At that time..." Charlotte was going to continue talking, and then shook her head: "Forget it, just treat those days as a dream Well, I am Mrs Collins now, and perhaps, all my life."

"Then, would you like to be the Countess of Max?" Earl Max saw Charlotte's weakness, so of course he would not let this opportunity pass.This request made Charlotte's eyes widen: "Count, you?"

"Don't rush to say no, Charlotte, I have always fallen in love with you inside your body, not your appearance. Of course, what I want to apologize to you is that at the beginning of our acquaintance, I did I did a lot of things that made you unhappy, and this is because I offended you. But now, I sincerely repent. If you are willing to torture me, then use the rest of your life to torture me."

After Earl Max finished speaking, he waited for Charlotte's answer, but he didn't wait for a long time. Could it be that these words still didn't move Charlotte?

Earl Max looked at Charlotte and saw that Charlotte was buried in her knees. Could it be that she was crying?Earl Max reached out and raised Charlotte's head, but saw that Charlotte was smiling, and she smiled happily: "Count, I have never heard such a funny thing. I married you to torture you."

"No, it's not funny. Charlotte, it's my heart. I'd put up with anything to have you."

Such affectionate style made Charlotte bite her lower lip, and then Charlotte shook her head: "But, I still can't agree." Why?Earl Max asked somewhat depressedly, and Charlotte had already stood up: "Because, I have never been in love before, and I want to taste the sweetness of falling in love instead of marrying a man directly."

Earl Max also stood up and looked at her with a very happy smile: "Then, can I fall in love with you, three months, or five months? Or half a year?"

Charlotte still shook her head: "No, Earl, such a love with a clear purpose is really meaningless." After speaking, Charlotte ran down the hillside.
