"Hello, ma'am. Is there anything I can do for you?" James said to the widow with basic gentlemanly etiquette. Of course, James would like to hear the negative answer most, but it was obvious that what the widow said next made him disappointed.

"Yes, there is something wrong with me. You are Mr. Bennett, James Bennett, are you back to Longbourne? Can you give me a ride?" The widow saw that James did not recognize herself, and was very surprised. Is it disappointment, is he really getting old and ugly?So in just a few years, I became so unrecognizable to James, and I remembered my misfortune, and felt sad from the heart.

"You know me? You want to go to Longbourne?" James guessed that the other party knew him when he heard his name directly, but James thought and thought again, and in his memory there was no such a person as the widow opposite. .

"I'm Canaletti. You may have forgotten me." Miss Letty, no, it should be Mrs. Carbone now, but it's obvious that James doesn't remember herself, so Mrs. Carbone reported directly Tell me your name when you were a girl, hoping that James can remember himself with this name.Sure enough, after thinking about it for a while, James remembered who Canaletti was. This was a romantic debt left by his predecessor.

James looked at Miss Letty in front of him strangely, but remembered what Mrs. Brown said that her husband seemed to have acquired some bad habits.But now that she is wearing a widow's attire, she knows that her husband must have passed away. Hearing from Mrs. Brown that her husband almost caused her to have a miscarriage, but seeing that there is no child now, James can guess what happened thing

"I'm sorry. Mrs. Carbon, how can I help you?" James just apologized lightly for not recognizing him, but he didn't ask about her recent situation. They were not familiar with each other, and he didn't have such a strong desire to gossip. Come to ask my mother more things.

But Miss Letty didn't think so, she thought.Men are really unreliable. Look, how good it was said before, but now James treats himself a little better than strangers. It's really fickle.I also thought of my short-lived husband. Before marriage, he was fine, but after marriage, he became a different person. He has a bad temper, likes to gamble and drink, and owes a huge amount of gambling debts. Just three months ago, he was drunk and beat her up. Then she went out and fell into the river and drowned. She sold all the property of the family, so she barely paid off the gambling debt owed by her husband, leaving no inheritance.Now that I am in better health, I come to my natal family, but there is another problem with the carriage on the way.After her husband passed away, she breathed a sigh of relief, but she thought of the child who had no fate. Maybe it was a gift from God not to come to this world.

Miss Letty was a little embarrassed, and her pale face was flushed with embarrassment. "I just need you to take me and a maid to Longbourne, and I will tell the maid to find a way." Gritting her teeth, Miss Letty stated her purpose.She has been waiting here for a long time, just waiting for James and his group to come. Most importantly, Miss Letty believes that James will not harm her. Although James treats her like a stranger, it is better than asking someone It's good for complete strangers to ask for help.

James pondered for a while before agreeing. He couldn't leave her as a widow here. I don't want to take this woman with me, I only have one carriage, and a woman is synonymous with trouble, especially a widow who has had a relationship with him.

"It's my honor. Where's your maid, tell her to come over, we're leaving." If you can't refuse, you can only accept, but James doesn't plan to be in the carriage, and squeezes with the driver outside Got it.

After settling down, the carriage began to move forward again. James was immersed in the joy of returning home, while Miss Letty was worried about the future, and she didn't know what others thought of her. After all, she was married in the first place. Time to make many people jealous.This time I don't know how many gossips will be made about myself.And now that my younger brother is married, and my widowed sister comes to join me, I don't know how my younger brother's wife will have any objections.

Miss Letty silently thought about the joy she had back then. There were so many candidates, but she chose the most scumbag person. Compared with James today, if she had chosen him at the beginning, would everything be different? , The more I think about it, the more I regret it.Throughout the journey, Miss Letty has been immersed in regrets, getting deeper and deeper.

"Mrs. Carbon, Longbourn is here." James' words interrupted Miss Letty's contemplation, and Miss Letty, who came back to her senses, realized that the sun had already set in the west. It was evening, and the time was so fast.

With the help of the maid, Miss Letty quickly got out of the carriage and looked at the familiar Longbourne. It was still the same house, the same trees, and the same pond, but everyone had changed. James was not the same as before. He is no longer a young man who revolves around himself, and he is no longer a simple girl to be married with good wishes for the future.She looked back at James complicatedly before lowering her head to prevent him from seeing her expression. If possible, she didn't want anyone to see her distress.

"Thank you for your help, goodbye." After finishing speaking, Miss Letty curtseyed before James could say anything, and left in a hurry with the maid.

After watching her leave, James boarded the carriage and told the coachman to continue driving home. He didn't take this matter to heart, leaving no trace of it.

Looking at the familiar house in front of him, James felt that his heart finally fell to the ground, and his tired body clamored to go in and rest quickly, because he finally returned to the home where James felt most at ease.

Mr. Smith was the first to discover James, because he happened to have something to go out. Seeing James, who had been away from home for several months, appearing in front of the door, Smith blushed with excitement.

"Sir, welcome back." Then he said to the servant next to him, "Go in and inform the wife and miss that the husband is back."

Mr. Smith came to help James take away the bag in his hand, and happily followed behind James. He had forgotten his original intention of coming out.

On the other hand, Mrs. Bennet and everyone in the room were stunned when they heard the servant saying that James was back. up.

What I saw when I came out was Jane hanging on James' neck.Mrs. Bennet's heart was sad, and tears were about to flow. She missed James more than she imagined, and now she was relieved to see that James had returned safely.She has been thinking about James all the time. Although everyone is hiding it from her, she just knows that something is definitely wrong with James, especially after Mrs. Long came home to accompany her.

I haven't seen James for several months, and Jane is not unfamiliar with meeting.

"Father, you are finally back. Jane misses you so much." Hearing Jane Jiao softly say that she misses herself, James calmed down.

"Daddy's baby, daddy misses you too, let's see if you listen to daddy and eat well."

Jane took advantage of the trend and got off James, circling in front of James. "Dad, Jane has always been very obedient, you see."

"Yes, Daddy's baby hasn't lost weight. You can tell at a glance that you have listened to Daddy's words. He is really Daddy's good baby."

"Of course, I have been watching my sister eat, and my sister is also fat." Jane knew that James liked their fat ones the most. Thinking of the chubby Elizabeth now, Jane was very happy to show her credit.

"Then Jane, tell Dad, what reward do you want?" James looked at the healthy Jane, and his heart softened a long time ago.

"Dad, are you serious? Then, can Dad not leave home for so long in the future? Jane misses Dad all the time, but Dad still hasn't come back." Jane was a little disappointed and looked straight at James.

Looking at the expectant little face, James couldn't bear her disappointment, so he said, "Okay, Dad promises you, will you try to stay at home with Dad's baby as much as possible in the future?"

Jane burst into a big smile when she heard this.

"Honey, welcome back." Mrs. Bennet looked at James happily when the father and daughter finally stopped talking.

Hearing what Mrs. Bennet said, James happily walked over, intending to give her a big hug. He still missed his wife very much, but James stopped halfway and looked at Mrs. Bennet in shock. belly, where is his child?James looked at Mrs. Bennet again in shock.

Mrs. Bennet knew what James wanted to know when she saw James' shocked look, so she said: "The baby is very good, it has been born, it is a boy and a girl twins, my husband, let's go in and see them now, you My dad hasn't seen this before."

Mrs. Bennet quickly explained to James. Of course, she was a little clever. She didn't say when the child was born. It was up to James to find out. Under her evasion, she wanted to delay as long as she could. So what Mrs. Bennet wants to do most is to divert James' attention. She has to prepare well for the coming of the storm. How can there be a kind of calm before the storm now?

The ecstatic James immediately followed Mrs. Bennet in. His current state of mind has been completely captured by what Mrs. Bennet said about him having a daughter and son again, so James, who was so happy that he didn't know how to describe it, didn't recognize Bennett. The guilty conscience in Mrs. Te's tone made him feel sorry for the birth time of the children. If Mrs. Bennet was careful, he could witness the birth of the children. In fact, of all the children, the twins were born He wasn't around when.

After entering, I found that Mrs. Lange was also here. After saying hello to her, James went straight to the child. He didn't forget to hug the chubby Elizabeth on the way. He was very satisfied to see the chubby Elizabeth James. Children should be chubby to be cuter.Elizabeth quietly raised her head in James' arms and studied who was holding her.Mrs. Lange watched Elizabeth quietly let James hold her, and she couldn't help sighing. It seems that people often say that blood is thicker than water. It is true. Look, if it was held by another person, Elizabeth would have died a long time ago. There was a commotion.
