[Sense and Sensibility] Fascinated by you

Hathaway waited like a year for about half an hour, during which Elena was still nagging about something, and Hathaway echoed her perfunctorily.

As soon as the door of the study room was opened, Hathaway straightened her back involuntarily, and looked at the door intently. Fortunately, everyone in the room responded like this, which did not make her overzealousness stand out.

Colonel Brandon came out first with a face as heavy as water. He stood there straight, like an unsheathed sword, sharp and cold. He looked around at the people in the room, but he didn't stop his gaze on the Where, but Hathaway knew he was looking at her.

The colonel walked straight in front of Elena, and bowed, "Feeling your warm hospitality today, I'm afraid I'm going to say goodbye now. If possible, I will visit again in a few days."

Forced by his aura, Eileen stood up involuntarily, and said with some trepidation: "Of course, please go ahead."

Then the colonel turned around and strode out, and Hathaway hurriedly said, "I'll see him off." Holding the hem of her skirt, she trotted out and followed.

Hathaway finally caught up with the colonel at the door. He had just put on his coat when Hathaway gasped for breath, opening a pair of watery green eyes with panic and worry.

Colonel Brandon was arranging his clothes slowly, while looking at these eyes, as if he was examining something and as if he wanted to remember it deeply in his mind, he tightened his jaw, but his tone was still gentle , "Your brother already knows, and he doesn't quite agree with this matter." The colonel looked away and forced a smile, "Don't worry, he will agree sooner or later."

After a moment of silence, the colonel took Hathaway's right hand, and gently pressed a kiss on the back of her hand. Maintaining this posture, he lowered his head and said softly, "I can forgive you if you can't persist." ".Then he turned around resolutely and strode away.

Hathaway just raised her hands and watched the Colonel's figure drift away, until she was completely out of sight before putting down her sore arms.

She leaned against the door feeling lost, looking at the dark sky, the moon was hazy, the stars were hidden behind the mist, London was humid and cold in November, and the bleak cold wind took away the last trace of her body temperature. Cover the back of your right hand tightly with your left hand, as if you can grab something in this way.

If she had been able to stay out of the matter with the intention of testing him before, then today she was looked at by him with such painful and sad eyes, and loved by him so tenderly and tolerantly, a kind of empathetic pain swept over her.

She felt so cruel, so cruel to tear his wounds again.Let him once again be trapped in the same pain as in the past, and even in the past he could say that they loved each other, but they were not firm enough so they separated.But this time, she never promised him, never told him her feelings, and he noticed her reserved attitude early on.She has never paid anything for him, and has been passively accepting his affection and care. She knows that her attitude must have hurt him deeply.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but hate herself, she hurt a person who loved her deeply.

When Hathaway returned, Philip was standing at the door of her room, his lips were almost pursed into a straight line, and there was unconcealable anger on his usually calm face.

Hathaway opened the door first and walked in. Philip followed closely behind and closed the door. The two of them glared at each other after entering the door. The clear green stared at the ice blue without giving in. Brother and sister are the same The delicate and outstanding face is also tense, and even the expression on the face is exactly the same.

Philip was the first to lose the battle. Of course he would not admit it, but it was because he didn't want to argue with his sister. He looked away, coughed lightly, and before he could speak, Hathaway preemptively robbed him .

"What did you say to him?" Hathaway raised her head slightly and looked sideways at Philip, her water-green eyes sparkled with anger, and her snow-white face became beautiful with such a vivid expression.

Philip turned his head angrily again, as if dazzled by such beauty, he quickly turned back, "I didn't say anything, I just told him not to be wishful thinking! I will never marry my sister to him." Yes! Humph!"

Hathaway stared at Philip's sharp chin, never felt this part so annoying!In particular, her brother raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his jaw, and his expression was full of indescribable arrogance and contempt. Thinking of how he faced Colonel Brandon with such a gesture just now, which hurt his feelings, she felt like feel angry!Angry with Philip as never before! "Brother, how could you do this! You are so rude! What is wrong with him that you want to say such things!"

Because of him, the sister who had never been angry with him questioned him so loudly! "Why? Because he cheated on the feelings of an ignorant girl! Because he is 34 years old but still wants to attack my sister! You ask me what's wrong with him? In my opinion, he is not good enough, he is not good enough. He is handsome and not aristocratic, he is not worthy of you at all. Andrew, this idiot, actually lured wolves into the house, and he didn't even notice it!" Philip, who always valued noble demeanor, even couldn't help cursing Andrew loudly in front of his sister, it can be seen that he How angry now.

"Brother, you don't even know that he saved me, and he is still willing to marry me even though he knows that it is difficult for me to have children. Doesn't that mean his sincerity?" Hathaway eagerly argued.

"Even if he saved you, I will thank him. I don't need you to marry him! Hmph, that can only show that this guy is just an idiot who is obsessed with beauty and loses his mind!"

"You are arguing!"

"In short, I will never agree to you marrying him under such conditions."

"Brother, I know you don't think so. When Elena married you, she was neither aristocratic nor had much dowry. With her conditions, how could she ever match you? I don't know how many noble girls in London think Marrying you, if you really value those things, why would you marry her?"

Philip didn't expect Hathaway to use his marriage to refute him, he finally calmed down, calmed down for a while, a trace of pain flashed in his icy blue eyes, "Yes, I didn't care about this before, I was young too, what is the difference between me and Andrew? We are both dazzled by love."

"Then why do you still want to stop it? What's more, I don't want to get married right away. We can get along for a while before making a decision."

Philip looked at her calmly, and slightly twitched the corners of his mouth, "It's because I know very well that I want to stop you." He paused for a while, as if thinking about something, and found a place to sit down before continuing: "Yes, I loved her, when we were young, she had pretty features, a slim figure, a pair of dark eyes and a very charming smile, her nature was lively and enthusiastic, and she always devoted herself to what she liked , can get along well with anyone, and can always be loved by others, these are what I lack, she deeply attracted me and Andrew."

Hathaway sat down opposite Philip, and it was the first time she heard Philip talk about the past, and she didn't know that Elena was such a charming girl in the past.

"In the end Elena chose me. We could barely get along well when we first got married, but she liked to be lively and was keen on attending dances, and I was busy with affairs and often didn't have time to accompany her. This situation became more serious after Hannah was born. And her character is as innocent and emotional as ever, which makes us even more unable to communicate. Although Elena and I are bound by love, we can't get along because of love. Feelings can affect you for a while, But it can't affect your life. Maybe Elena was right in choosing Andrew. After all, they have similar personalities and the same hobbies. I believe they can get along very well after marriage. Hathaway, I don't deny that there is a chance of a successful combination due to emotion. example, but there are more people who regret it. I know that this road is not a shortcut to happiness, so how can I let you fall into it? You are too young and easy to be swayed by emotions. Before my father died Give you to me, and I must be responsible for your life, I only hope that your life will be safe and happy."

Hathaway took Philip's arm and leaned her head gently on his shoulder, the two were silent for a long time.

Hathaway leaned on her brother's warm shoulders, and was moved by such deep love in her heart. How lucky that there is someone in this world who is willing to shoulder your life and be responsible for your happiness.

Tonight, in the British Isles 200 years ago, two men showed their deep and strong love before her eyes. Such feelings are precious, and she does not want any of them to be hurt, especially not Let the hurt come from herself.

Maybe her attitude had hurt her brother just now, like a willful stubborn girl, she questioned whether he had hurt her lover.She could neither hurt the Colonel's feelings by obeying Philip, nor violate Philip's wishes by the Colonel, which was a real headache.

"Philip, maybe what you said is right. A marriage that is formed by love may not be happy, but I think that if it is not for love, it is doomed to be unhappy. What kind of marriage is it? It is just a marriage between a man and a woman. An agreement, an agreement that is bound together for life, what fun is there for two people to barely live together? Instead of being single like that, at least you don’t have to fulfill the obligations of a wife. I don’t want to live that kind of life, I don’t want to wait for me When I grow old, I regret that I didn't work hard for my relationship when I was young. Besides, he is such a good person, he treats me very well, I believe I will never meet someone who loves me more than him. Brother, please believe me , I am not one of those stupid girls who have no brains and will do some stupid things for love, but I am not without courage, and I am willing to work hard for it. Please give him a chance, don't look at him with prejudice, Take a closer look at who he really is."

After a long time, when Hathaway thought she couldn't convince Philip, he nodded slightly, "I will observe carefully, and prepare well at home during this time, and don't run out." He said warning He glanced at Hathaway.

"It's getting late, you should go to bed early." After speaking, he turned and left.

Hathaway tossed and turned in bed that night, and did not fall asleep until dawn.
