Reborn Scarlett's happy life

"Mom, I just hope that you are all well." Scarlett said softly, she no longer wants to recall those days, the death of her parents, the ruin of Tara, the war, it's all this damn war.

"We'll be fine, honey, don't worry." Ellen comforted her daughter, and she hugged her daughter to make her feel better. She said softly, "Although Su Lun is a bit headstrong, but Scarlett, she is not a bad person." child."

"Can we not talk about her for now, Mom?" Scarlett said with a sigh. Anyway, Su Lun is her sister, and she naturally cannot never reconcile with Su Lun, but not now, maybe tomorrow, Su Lun Carrie thought.

"Of course, then can we talk about that Charles Hamilton?" Ellen let go of her daughter and said with a smile. Scarlett's face was flushed, and she looked at her mother angrily, "Mom, how could you Want to talk about him, what does he have to do with me."

"Baby, don't try to hide it, I can see that you have a crush on him, and I know he loves you."

"How could I have a crush on him? I don't like that kind of shy person." Scarlett said awkwardly, but when she said these words, those beautiful eyes always flashed in her mind unconsciously , as gentle and firm as a plant.

Ellen just smiled when she saw her daughter's awkward appearance, "Don't deny them, my dear, give yourself a chance, in my opinion, that young man is more than just shy, he will suit you."

After Ellen left, Scarlett lay on the bed and bit her lips. The bright moonlight fell on her thin quilt like a veil. She turned her head and stared out of the window, thinking of what her mother said, and then remembered Charles Hamilton's appearance, that's really strange, she was always vague about his appearance in her previous life, but now it's so clear, she remembers his brown-blond hair as if kissed by the sun, his beautiful face There is always a shyness that does not belong to a man, and sometimes he looks at her with such a predatory look, if only he was the same as before, Scarlett thought angrily Then he wouldn't confuse himself as much as he did now.

Twelve Oaks Village, Wilkes Manor, Melanie came to her brother's room and found that he hadn't fallen asleep, he was not reading in front of the bed with a book in his hand as usual, but was standing by the French window, still wearing daytime blouse. The dress, it seems, has not been changed, because Ashley will go to the front line in a week, and Melanie will return to Atlanta with Charles in order to facilitate care.

"What are you looking at, Charlie?" Melanie called out softly. The untimely death of her parents made the relationship between the brother and sister better than ordinary people, and most of the time, Melanie was like Charles's older sister. It was the premature maternity radiance on the solemn face, which made Charles feel nostalgic.

"Why are you here, Melanie?" Charles turned his head and smiled, his eyes seemed to be soaked in the moonlight, looking a little hazy, that look was familiar to Melanie, because Ashley was the same, but The latter's smile is never shy, like the shy petals of Veda.

"We're leaving here in a week, Charlie, what are you going to do?"

"Do you think it's okay if I ask her to go to Atlanta?" Charles asked softly, his warm eyes looked at Melanie, like a child looking for an answer, with a little helplessness and more cautiousness.

"This is a bit bold, after all, she is still an unmarried girl."

"I know this is against the rules, Melanie, I just feel that if I leave like this, I may never be qualified to stand by her side." Charles murmured.

"So, is that why you gave up going to the front and stayed in Atlanta as a city guard?" Melanie asked softly. She knew that although her brother had a mild temper, he also worshiped his father in his bones. Who in the world The man didn't want to be honored, and when he seriously told himself not to go to the front line, Melanie knew that Charles was really in love with that girl.

"The front line needs men and soldiers, but she also needs someone to accompany her. I know this is a bit cowardly. If my father is still alive, he will definitely beat me, but I can't go against my will. Melanie, a month is too long, there are many things Changes happen, I was never the kind of man Scarlett would like, so all I could have was more time than other people, it was tricky, Melanie, I hid behind and gave up for my love The honor of the family." Charles said softly, he knew what he had given up and what it meant to do so, when everyone thought he would go to the battlefield to make contributions like his father, Charles Hamilton gave up.

"Don't blame yourself, dear Charlie, it's not cowardice, it's just another choice, and in my opinion, you defended the South as much as you defended a girl, and she deserves it, my dear. "

"You wouldn't ask Ashley to do that, Melanie, so don't comfort me."

"Yes, I will not ask him to stay for me, but Charlie, if he does stay for me, I will tell you honestly, I am very happy, very happy, because I know what he gave up and chose. , Charlie, no matter what decision you make, I will support you. Whether it is on the front line or in the back, what we can do is the same. As long as we protect what we like to protect, then there is no need to be ashamed. No matter what others say do not mind."

Charles looked at the woman in front of him. She was not tall and petite. Even though she had combed the hair of a married woman, she was still childish. She was his younger sister, and she had always played a more mature and rational role since she was a child. , she is a beacon for everyone, looking into her eyes full of tenderness and encouragement can make people find their way.

"I really can't believe you're married today, Melanie." He said softly, even though he had given the girl's hand to another man during the day, it felt very unreal at this moment.

"One day you will too, and I'll cry, Charlie."

"Do you feel happy?" He asked, desperately needing to hear the answer from his sister.

"Happy, very happy, Charlie, and I hope you will feel the same before long," Melanie said softly, her hazel eyes hazy as if with a mist, never for a moment They are so alike.

Scarlett did not go to the next ball that the Calvert family held for the marriage of Melanie and Ashley, because she was following her father to buy food and medicine for the third time. In Carrie's opinion, she did not continue to buy bonds, but used them to buy food, medicines and other things. If Georgia hadn't had any arsenals, Scarlett would have thought about it. After all, they were hot items during the war.

Scarlett also quietly purchased the fabrics that were negotiated some time ago. After a while, they will become short-selling goods. Although it is immoral to make dead money, who will care about these things at that time, as long as you have money She would not starve to death, and Scarlett had already made up her mind not to go through the bitter days of digging sweet potatoes in the ground.

After being so busy, it was the day when Ashley was going to leave. The trains transported these young and vigorous young men to the front line. They all had ruddy faces, as if they were going to a banquet. , except for Ashley, all four of Tarleton's brothers went, and Boyd, the shortest, stood there with his belt buckled in the first buttonhole, looking not tall and handsome at all, but the whole person It is also the spirited war that makes everyone fanatical.

Ashley stood aside to kiss his new wife good-bye, a smile on his gentle face that reassured everyone, and everyone felt ashamed when the Wilkes boy looked at them all with that smile. That's all right, the war will be over soon, and the lads will come back with their medals, and their loved ones will have half the Medal of Honor.

Scarlett had already said goodbye to Ashley and the twins. She turned her eyes around and saw someone in a short while.

Charles Hamilton stood quietly aside. Except for seeing off Ashley earlier, he seemed particularly quiet today. He didn't look at himself, and spent most of his time staring at the speeding train, which was a man's longing.She bit her lip and walked over. Charles looked down at her. As usual, there was a light in those beautiful eyes, which made Scarlett feel better.

"If you yearn for it, it's not too late now." She said softly, and she had already made plans in her heart. If the other party insisted on going, then she would tell him what to pay attention to. After all, how can a woman stop a man.

"I can't lie to you that I don't want it at all, but Scarlett, I have promised you, I have made promises to you, and in my heart, they are equally important."

"Do you know how others will judge you when you go back to Atlanta?" She said tremblingly, looking at each other with wide eyes.

"Yes, I know." He responded gently, the arc of his eyelashes fluttering in a soothing way, as if the frenzied atmosphere at the scene didn't affect him at all.

"I don't love you, Charles, you know, it's probably in vain for you to pay me, so I'll give you a choice now, you don't have to keep that promise, after all, it's not fair to you." She said Saying a sentence, pinching the hem of the skirt with slender fingertips, breathing softly.

Charles stared at the girl in front of him, saw her pointed chin raised, saw the sincerity in her green eyes, the straightforwardness of her words, which would have embarrassed any man, but he just smiled, I don't mind.

"Scarlett, even if I hesitated before, after you said this, I don't think there is any reason for me to give up this promise."

"You..." She looked at the other party in surprise, and was interrupted by the man. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth, which was very shallow but extremely sincere.

"Come with me to Atlanta."
