aristocratic engagement

"...do you like it?"

Annie's voice was barely audible if they weren't so close.

Darcy stared at her, nodded, and finally pressed his lips to the back of her hand.

Annie even forgot to breathe for a moment.

His lips were not cold, on the contrary, they were extraordinarily soft, with the moist warmth of his breath.

Annie was hit by a huge surprise. His affirmation and confession made her self-torture and heartbeat during this period run out of her eyes without escape.

In this early morning, the moment she saw Darcy's figure by the window, she ran out of the room uncontrollably and stood in front of him irrationally.

Her soul drove her to do the most irrational thing, but it was also the thing she most wanted to do in her heart.

When her ears rest on his chest, even through a thick woolen coat.

"Boom bang bang."

That heartbeat wouldn't deceive her.

Even if he kept silent, Annie already knew his intentions.

Time, she didn't want to think about the reasons that made her hesitate and back away, and the person who made her heart beat faster happened to feel the same way about herself - how lucky that was.

The rising sun has climbed completely above the horizon at this moment, hiding behind the clouds but not showing up for a long time.The sunlight pierced through the thin clouds, like a layer of golden powder sprinkled on Darcy's hair, face, shoulders, and hands...

Annie's eyelashes trembled slightly, and her heart was suddenly filled with unspeakable emotions.

Why did she come to this world?

Annie had asked herself countless times, but she never had an answer.

At her best friend's wedding, the bouquet that threw her into the world was like the rabbit that Alice met.

Alice followed the rabbit and fell into a dream, but is the world she fell into a dream?

However, the person in front of him really existed, his palms were hot, his lips were warm, and Annie could even feel his heartbeat and the pulsation of blood from her fingertips.

Darcy did not let go of her trembling hand.

With his other hand he lifted the large hood of his woolen coat.

In an instant, Anne's eyes were dimmed, and the sunlight was blocked out of the coat by him.

Nostrils are full of his breath.

It was as if there were only these two people and two hearts left in this world.

"Anne, put aside those concerns... Rosings Manor, Lady Catherine, Pemberley, Georgiana, Earl Fitzwilliam... I just want you to look at me and tell me the answer with your soul and your heart."

If I put aside all other people's expectations and hints, would I still... be attracted to him?

Annie's heart sank.

Eliminate all rationality and answer only with your own soul.

——Before that ball, when she saw Darcy shining in the crowd through the ethereal and blurred lace.The only piece she could play fluently after many years flowed in her ears like a stream, refreshing.

——At that time, she had already got the answer.

The corners of Annie's eyes were slightly moist, and she was a little choked up, but she tried her best not to tremble.

"Yes, I like it." Annie's lips moved slightly.

She heard her own soul answer.

Those powerful arms suddenly took her into his arms, as if they wanted to fuse her and his soul into one.

The two beating hearts are tightly pressed together across the chest cavity.Their heartbeats were so fast, yet surprisingly synchronized.

Darcy's chin was stuck on her shoulder, and the thin and dense whispers were like angels and demons, drilling into her ears and mind without any dead ends.

"I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you..."

He didn't call her name, as if he was really calling her soul word for word, repeatedly, and spare no effort.

Annie opened her mouth, but her throat didn't make a sound, but the moist air spoke out for her: "I love you."

Darcy let go of the arms that imprisoned her, and after removing the overcoat covering her body, she found that the face in front of her was flushed strangely, her eyes were slightly squinted, and she was looking at him blankly, as if she was about to faint at any moment.

Darcy was startled, and quickly reached out to touch her face.

piping hot.

Darcy immediately wondered if his hands were so hot that he lost his sense of touch, he put his hands on her neck and moved closer to her face, regardless of restraint and courtesy.

The brow overlaps the brow.

"Damn it, I really caught a cold." Darcy bit his tongue angrily, he got up quickly, wrapped the coat around her body without any dead ends, and hugged Anne horizontally.

——Even though the coat was wrapped around her just now, but she was wearing a thin dressing gown and thin shoes, running from the lawn covered in morning dew, she must have caught a cold at that time.

And he, without realizing it, dragged her to talk for so long beside the lake and under the willow tree.

What's more... Darcy looked at the bruises in her eyes and thought regretfully that she must have been awake all night.

Even after listening to Mrs. Reynolds' report, he needed the cold evening wind to cool his restless heart.What's more, what about Annie?

Darcy had never been so frightened, never had he been so frightened when a bullet hit him in the ribs in battle.

The confession just now was like a sacrifice/sacrifice, he found his "rib".

Maybe the myth of the Garden of Eden is true, Darcy thought, otherwise, why the vacancy in his heart was instantly filled when she said those three wonderful words.

And when she had such a fever now that she was about to pass out, his rib was aching, making him unbearable and in pain?

"Hurry up, hurry up..." He strode towards the manor, almost running.

The sun has risen, and the servants in the manor have woken up from their deep sleep, returned to their jobs, and started the day's work.

The gardener was invited back to the manor in the spring, and he saw a figure in the distance holding another person stumbling towards here.

"My God! Mr. Darcy! Is that you?" exclaimed the gardener.

"It's me! Go and get Dr. Leyson! Miss de Bourgh has fainted!" Darcy shouted loudly, only when he saw the gardener running into the house in a panic, Darcy breathed a sigh of relief .

The girl in his arms seemed to have entered a dream, her head fell obediently in his arms, and an unnatural blush appeared on her face.The blush spread to her neck and climbed directly to her chest.

Darcy dared to say that he never wished that she could stand proudly in front of him, pointing fingers and scolding him.

Annie felt that her state was very strange.

After saying those three words, she floated up—at first, she thought it was a blissful float, but when she came to her senses, her soul had already left her body, and she really "floated" up.

She watched Darcy hugged herself in a panic, brought herself back to Pemberley Manor, and put herself under the soft velvet quilt.

The doctor came, checked for a while, but found nothing, but asked the servant to prepare ice cubes.

Lady Catherine and Georgiana came, too, and they argued with the doctor, insisting that she be draped in thick quilts--as she had once done.

However, neither ice nor heat had any effect.

Annie floated beside her body, of course she understood that it was all useless efforts.It wasn't that something was wrong with her body, it was that her soul had been squeezed out.

"Isn't it? I just don't know how to face him, why did I just go out of my body like this... Really, I don't have to face him?" Annie murmured.

"What?" Darcy raised his head suddenly.

Lady Catherine and Georgiana looked at each other, wondering to whom he was speaking.

"Brother, Dr. Layson said..."

"No! You don't talk!" Darcy interrupted Georgiana.

His eyes circled around the room. Lady Catherine and Georgiana stood not far from the bed, looking at him inexplicably; Dr. Leyson was packing the medicine box by the window, planning to search for some other medicinal materials; She was driven out of the door, leaving only Annie's personal maid Du Li standing by the sink, ready to change towels at any time.

Anne's heart skipped a beat as Darcy's eyes flicked in her direction.

'Can he hear me? 'Annie was astonished.

Darcy frowned, and his gaze returned to the face of the girl on the bed, staring at it for a long time.

The oppressive atmosphere made Georgiana a little unbearable, and she tugged on Lady Catherine's sleeve.Mrs. Catherine was also worried about the orphan girl and did not respond.

"Georgianna, take everyone out." Darcy suddenly ordered.

Georgiana bit her lip and nodded. She stepped forward and bent to kiss Anne's cheek goodbye, but Darcy grabbed her arm.

"Hiss—" Georgiana moaned in pain, Darcy seemed to wake up and let go of her hand.

Georgiana quickly pressed her lips to Anne's face, and after looking at her brother strangely, she winked at Du Li and the doctor, and ran out quickly.

Lady Catherine did not move.

Darcy didn't speak either, and his intuition told him that Mrs. Catherine had something to say.

After being silent for a long time, Darcy's eyes wandered back and forth between the girl's face and the direction where the voice was heard just now more than ten times, and he really heard the hesitant voice of Mrs. Catherine.

"Actually... Anne's situation happened once." Mrs. Catherine sat down beside Anne's bed. "It was many years ago, and Annie was seriously ill. I have invited all the doctors I could find, There is no way."

"It's the same, can't you wake it up anyway?" Darcy asked in a deep voice.

"True, but, thank God, Anne woke up at last... I was almost going mad by then, so I had no intention of caring for Georgiana when you brought Georgiana back to Pemberley."

"I remember." Darcy nodded.

"You...you don't have to worry. Although Annie was in poor health when she was a child, she has been exercising all these years and jumping up and down with Fenrir every day. She has long been stronger than the average lady."

Madam Catherine comforted—she didn't know how to express herself, her daughter had a strange disease again, but as a mother, she wanted to comfort her nephew...

and many more?

"You just now..." Lady Catherine's eyes widened. The servant just said that it was Darcy who brought her back.

Lady Catherine's mind is in a mess, she doesn't know Darcy's routine, doesn't she also understand Anne's routine?Usually at this time, Anne had just finished her breakfast and set off from the manor to take Fenrir for a walk.

Madam Catherine turned her head to look at Fenrir's cot by the window, only to see that he was also in a drowsy sleep, seemingly unaware of the presence and departure of so many people in the room.

Darcy nodded bluntly: "I confessed to Annie, and she... I'm lucky, my girl gave me a positive answer."

He squeezed her soft hand under the covers.
