Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Sir William really did everything he could to bring this marriage together, thought Charlotte, and then she laughed again: "Do you think so, my dear?"

Little William frowned, and said after a long time: "No, Mom, if you don't want to, then it's fine if I don't have a father."

This made Charlotte laugh out of her heart: "Honey, I know you won't let me down. Let's go in. It's time to take a good hot bath and then have lunch." Charlotte opened the door and saw Looking at these familiar decorations, returning to a familiar place can make people completely relaxed.

Barely an hour later, while Charlotte was still eating her lunch, a large bouquet of flowers was delivered.Looking at the delicate and charming rose, Charlotte knew without thinking that it was Earl Max's handwriting.

There is also a short note in the flower: Margaret, I hope you like it.

Earl Max is really a typical London man. Charlotte never thought that the last person she fell in love with was a typical London man.Holding up the flowers and smelling them, he said to the sender, "Tell the Earl, I like it very much."

Charlotte's words made the flower-giver look relieved, and Charlotte also noticed that the flower-giver had an expression that was as expected.But Charlotte said nothing, but called Sally, and told her to find a vase and put them all up.

"Madam, will you marry Earl Max? If so, I probably won't be able to serve you by your side." Sally brought the vase and said with some concern.

"Are you worried about losing your job, Sally?" Charlotte's tone was light, but Sally's heart was not as light as Charlotte's tone, and her brows were tightly frowned: "No, ma'am, that's not what you mean .If you can marry Earl Max, then I am very happy for you. But there are so many servants in the Earl's Mansion..."

"Oh, Sally, don't worry, I will continue to rent this house." Charlotte's words let Sally breathe a sigh of relief, and then Charlotte continued: "Because women need to have their own house, so Only then can she have a place to go when she quarrels with her husband."

"Oh, my God, madam, what are you talking about?" Sallie exclaimed, never expecting Charlotte to say that.Charlotte handed the inserted vase to Sally: "Put it on the table over there. Sally, why not? I'm not the same as before."

Sally couldn't understand, but she followed Charlotte's instructions and put the vase to the other side.

Grandma, if you know all this, maybe you will praise me for doing a good job.Unfortunately, Grandma, I probably will never see you again.Charlotte closed her eyes, and instead of thinking about other things, took a little rest to face everything in London.

"Mrs. Collins, can you kindly reward me with dinner?" Earl Max walked into the living room without being notified, and Charlotte looked at the clock: "Oh my God, it's only 03:30, Earl, it's too late to have dinner now." Too early."

"So I can spend two hours with you here, or go to the club, listen to the old men talking about the glory of their youth, have a glass of Bordeaux wine with them, and maybe accept their complaints , saying that the meat in London is not as tender as the venison they hunted on the spot."

Earl Max said vividly, and Charlotte had already smiled: "Okay, Earl, then I will have dinner prepared at five o'clock, but I have to tell you, let alone venison, there is not even beef. Just a few pieces of smoked salmon."

"Smoked salmon? My God, Mrs. Collins, is meat so expensive in London that you can't bear to buy beef?"

"No, Earl, that's because we don't have any hunting meat, so we don't have meat to eat." Charlotte and Earl Max were joking, with smiles overflowing from their eyes.

"Yes, that's it!" Earl Max looked at Charlotte, and his voice began to become as thin as a mosquito: "That's it, these beautiful eyes are full of smiles. Charlotte, do you know that you have a pair of beautiful eyes?" Eye."

"Before you said it today, I didn't know."

"That's because they don't love you as much as I do." Earl Max answered very smoothly, and Charlotte almost bent down with a smile: "Count, you are really a typical London man."

"And you are also a typical London woman. So we are a perfect match, don't you admit it, Charlotte?" Earl Max's words made Charlotte smile again after a short silence. , then accept it with a smile.

Thinking of Charlotte, she shook her head slightly: "Well, I think, in London at this moment, there are countless people who want to know when you will abandon me."

"Why do you say that? Charlotte?" Earl Max sat closer to where Charlotte was, so that he could see her smiling eyes clearly.

"Because a woman with no looks, no family background and a bad temper ran into you, then, for men in London, the best way to eliminate such humiliation is to make this woman fall in love with you, and then abandon her .”

"They will know that their guess is wrong this time. I love you, Charlotte. From the heart." Earl Max's eyes were full of affection. Charlotte curled her lips into a smile and did not answer, but her smile was already gone. It says it all.Max wanted to continue talking to Charlotte, but soon little William came over, so Earl Max accompanied little William to Hyde Park for a walk.After all, they might soon be father and son.

"Count Max, will you be my father?" Little William paced around decently. Such a serious question should not be asked by a child.

But Earl Max replied honestly: "If your mother is willing, then I am very happy."

"Does my mother love you?" Unexpectedly, Little William would ask such a question, Earl Max frowned: "Sorry, Little William, I'm not sure. Your mother is a very attractive person. I I can only assure you that I love her very much."

"So, I'm sorry, Earl Max, I can't help you." Little William's words made Earl Max laugh out loud: "Little William, you are so cute, but I need your help, that is, don't let other men approach you mother."

Of course, Little William stretched out his hand and shook hands with Earl Max.

"Count, I haven't seen you for so many days. I didn't expect you to play such a childish game with the children in the park." A black horse approached, and Mrs. Helen, who was sitting sideways on it, maintained her usual arrogance.

"Although children are immature, sometimes getting along with them is more comfortable than getting along with adults. Madam Helen, I think, if you have a child, then maybe there is no such, such..." Earl Max deliberately thought there Those words really angered Mrs. Helen.

Then Mrs. Helen showed a hypocritical smile to Little William: "You are the son of that very lucky Mrs. Collins? Come on, let me tell you one thing, it doesn't mean that having a noble stepfather can smoothly enter the High society, you'll know, that's hard."

Little William frowned. Although he couldn't quite understand Madam Helen's words, he could feel the malice in Madam Helen's words.This made Earl Max very dissatisfied: "Mrs. Helen, I think you need to apologize to Little William."

Apologize?Madam Helen kicked the horse's belly: "No, Earl, you should know, I'm telling the truth. Goodbye, a certain Marquis will come to my house for dinner tonight. As for you, Earl Max, you will never appear among my guests list."

Watching Mrs. Helen leave, Earl Max patted Little William's head: "I scared you just now, but my dear, sometimes I have to admit that what this mean woman said is right."

"Mother once said that you are not afraid of difficulties at any time." Little William's words made Earl Max laugh: "I actually forgot this, yes, you have such a mother, how can you be afraid of difficulties? Let's go, let's go again." After strolling around for a while, I will go back to have dinner, and I think the dinner at your house will be more to my taste than the dinner at Mrs. Helen's."

Earl Max spent more than ten consecutive days at Charlotte's place, which was quickly discovered by Madam Alisa.Count Max was about to leave that day when he was stopped by Madam Alisa: "Count, I need to talk to you."

"Mom, maybe tomorrow morning instead, you know, I have an appointment."

"Are you going to meet Mrs. Collins?" Mrs. Alisa pointed it out directly, so Earl Max did not deny it: "Yes, Mom, I remember that you used to like her very much and hoped that I would marry her, so now , your wish may come true."

"Henry, my dear son, I don't want you to marry her now." Mrs. Alisa's words did not surprise Earl Max, who smiled: "Why, mother?"

"Do you want me to tell you why? How can such a woman who has no manners and deliberately seduces you be the Countess of Max."

Madam Alisa's answer was resolute, and Earl Max shrugged: "Aunt Catherine told you, Mom, listen to me, my marriage can only be decided by myself, it used to be like this, and it will still be like this in the future. "

The son's words made Mrs. Alisa's frown tighten: "Henry, before last year, that is, before you had a duel with Mrs. Collins, I would have agreed with you to marry her, but now, a man who trampled on the reputation of the Max family How can a woman under her feet marry into the door?"

"Oh, mom, you understand, the reputation of the Max family is not her stepping on the soles of the feet, but me. I hurt the reputation of the Max family."
