Countess of Pride and Prejudice

Mrs. Alisa's face changed: "Henry, do you love her that much? What's so good about her?"

"She is the woman I love, that's it!" Earl Max looked at Mrs. Alisa after finishing speaking: "I think, Mom, you thought Charlotte was very, very gentle and obedient before, so you wanted me to marry her to appease you." Everyone's discussion?"

Mrs. Alisa did not speak, and Earl Max knew that she was acquiescing.So Earl Max continued: "Mom, I think I have talked enough with you, but I still ask you to bless me."

"Henry!" Mrs. Alisa looked at her son, her expression became more nervous: "You are already engaged to Mrs. Collins?" Earl Max said very sincerely: "Mom, up to now, Charlotte has not accepted my proposal." Marriage proposal. But, apart from her, I don't want to marry anyone else. You, like her, will be the most important woman in my life. So I hope you can treat her well."

Madam Alyssa frowned very tightly, and Earl Max looked at his mother. After a long time, Madam Alyssa sighed: "Well, count, since you have made a decision, it seems wrong for me to object again." of."

Earl Max could hear the discomfort in his mother's words, but he still hugged his mother: "Mom, you will soon know that my decision is not wrong. Mom, now, please bless me, I will be with you again Charlotte proposes."

Mrs. Alisa kissed her son's forehead: "Then, I would like to bless you."

Earl Max stood up straight and backed away from the house. Mrs. Alyssa looked at her son's back and sighed.The maid came over: "Madam, how should I write the letter to Lady Catherine?"

"No need." Mrs. Alisa shook her head as soon as she finished speaking: "No, you write for me, just say, thank you for her concern, but Earl Max has grown up for a long time. And, the woman he marries, as long as the family background is clean good."

Even if the maid was mentally prepared, she was taken aback: "Ma'am, what do you mean, that Mrs. Collins will become the Countess of Max?"

"There's nothing wrong with that. After all, her family background is clean, and the most important thing is that the Earl loves her. As for other things, I have read the information on her mother and her grandmother, and they all had frequent births and their children grew up smoothly. "

The meaning in Mrs. Alisa's words was very clear, the maid stepped back as soon as she should.

Mrs. Alisa stood in the hall and looked out. Anyway, it is a good thing that the son wants to get married now. Maybe in the near future, he will be able to hear the laughter of children in this house.The Max family has not heard a child cry for almost 30 years.

Earl Max walked into Charlotte's room and heard that Charlotte was teaching Little William to paint there. Smelling the scent of flowers, Earl Max smiled and walked to Charlotte's mother and son.

Little William raised his head and greeted Earl Max politely, but Charlotte quickly pressed his hand down: "Okay, little William, you have to work hard to learn how to draw."

"What are you painting? Charlotte?" Earl Max was not unhappy because Charlotte and her son didn't get up to greet him, but sat down beside them.

"Mom said to draw a place with many animals. Earl, look, the elephant I drew looks like it?" Earl Max looked at the painting that Little William held up high, with a smile on his face: "It looks like .Little William, would you like to move out of this house and live somewhere else?"

Little William immediately looked at Charlotte, then shook his head at Earl Max: "No, I will be where mother is."

"What if your mother moved with you?" This question got little William thinking.

"Okay, Sally, come and take little William down. Earl, you shouldn't ask little William this question." Charlotte asked Sally to take little William down and told the count bluntly.

"Charlotte, you have been refusing to agree to my marriage proposal. You must know that I am sincere to you." Earl Max looked at Charlotte with fiery eyes, which made Charlotte laugh again: "Count , you know, a man's heart, especially a typical London man's mind, is too easy to change."

"I won't change, Charlotte." Count Max held Charlotte's face in his hands, which made Charlotte unable to escape.Count Max almost murmured to Charlotte.

Charlotte felt a little hot in her ears, or this chase should end at this time, even if Earl Max abandoned her in the future, her heart would not be hurt badly.

"Oh, sorry, Charlotte, I thought no one was home." Just as the earl's face was getting closer and closer to Charlotte, the door was slammed open, and Caroline's voice sounded.

This was so embarrassing, Charlotte hurriedly turned her head away, trying to get her face back to normal.Earl Max greeted Caroline and his wife with regret in his heart: "Didn't you say that you will arrive in London in a few days? Why did you arrive today?"

Caroline asked the maid to bring all the luggage in, and said to Charlotte with a smile: "Mom has gone to Netherfield too many times, so Ivan and I decided to come to London early. Charlotte, we will Excuse me for a few days, and move out when I find a suitable house."

"Oh, Caroline, what are you bothering me about? I'm very glad that you can come and stay here for a few days." Charlotte said warmly to her sister after her face finally returned to normal.

"Really? Charlotte, you are very happy. How about the Earl?" After Caroline got married, she was much more naughty than before.Count Max said without changing his face: "Of course, if my dear Charlotte is happy, then I will be happy too."

"Really? Earl, you and Charlotte are engaged? If it's true, then I really want to congratulate you." Ivan also intervened to speak, and Charlotte felt her ears getting hotter, but the Earl was very calm: "No Well, Charlotte and I are not engaged yet, and she has never agreed to marry me. But I hope she will agree to marry me sooner. Do you think so, Charlotte?"

"I've never heard of a marriage proposal being made in public." Charlotte was almost speechless.Earl Max laughed at these words: "Charlotte, you forgot that when Philip proposed to Georgiana, it was in front of everyone."

Caroline and Ivan also laughed, and Charlotte decided to ignore them: "I'd better go and find Little William, Caroline, what dish do you want to eat, I'll let them prepare it."

Earl Max didn't catch up, but patted Ivan on the shoulder: "So, it seems that your newlywed life is very happy?"

"Yes!" Ivan said without hesitation: "My Caroline and I are very suitable, Earl, I hope you will have such a happy and happy life soon."

Thank you, this is the purpose of Earl Max talking to Ivan.The Charlotte sisters were also whispering their own private words in the room. This night was destined to be a night full of joy.

When Earl Max left, Charlotte sent him to the door. Earl Max looked at Charlotte: "I solemnly propose to you again, Charlotte."

This time, Charlotte did not divert her words as usual, but nodded with a smile.

Earl Max couldn't help but blinked, and then smiled: "Charlotte, have you really agreed?"

"Yes." Charlotte's voice was calm: "There is a time for falling in love, so I agree now."

Earl Max felt ecstasy all over his body. If everyone was not present, Earl Max would have hugged Charlotte into his arms, but he still went to hug Little William: "Little William, from now on, you can call me father .”

"Then do I need to change your surname?" The first question Little William asked turned out to be this, Earl Max shook his head: "No, Little William, no need. I know, you are the pride of Mr. Collins, so I don't Will force you to kill this pride."

Little William couldn't understand this sentence, but Caroline covered her face excitedly to prevent her tears from flowing out. Such a reasonable man is really rare.

Charlotte didn't expect Earl Max to say this, and she frowned slightly, but soon Charlotte smiled: "Thank you, Earl. I am very happy to agree to your marriage proposal."

"I am also very happy!" Earl Max stretched out an arm to embrace Charlotte, and from then on, they were a family.

Agreeing to the proposal is only the first step, and the next step is to notify relatives and friends of both parties separately.The Lucass received the news with what can only be described as ecstasy, and Mrs. Lucas immediately forgot the grief Caroline had caused her to move to London at once, and immediately spread the news throughout Meryton.

Those who had been laughing at the discord between Caroline and Mrs. Lucas a week ago immediately praised Mrs. Lucas for being such a blessed person when they heard the great news.It was a great fortune for Charlotte to be able to secure such a good marriage.

And Mrs. Lucas also wrote to Charlotte, telling her that she would come to London in person to help her prepare for the wedding. After all, although Charlotte had married once, she married only a priest at that time.But now, it is the distinguished Earl, the wedding is of course not the same as before.

"It seems that this is an unavoidable part of a happy life." Charlotte said to Caroline with a smile after receiving Mrs. Lucas's letter.Caroline shook her head: "Charlotte, it's strange. Why didn't I think mother's behavior was very rude before, but now I think their behavior is very rude?"

"That's because you're different, Caroline. You've seen more and seen more. You're no longer a Hertfordshire country girl."
