[Gone With the Wind] Daughter Difficult

Mary's tears fell like broken pearls, wet the ruffled collar of Louise's calico dress.

The red eyes of the little white rabbit are like pear blossoms with rain. If Louise is the real "Louis", how can she not feel compassion.

——But it’s really not.

Mary wept heartbroken, as fragile as a little white flower battered by wind and rain.

In this relationship, Mary was originally on the weak side, and the tears at this time were released with endless grievances.

However, Louise felt that this kind of pain was chosen by Mary herself.

Having never experienced love, she really couldn't understand what kind of emotion made Mary choose this path full of haze.

Was that George Bright really worth Mary's sacrifice for him?

If it was her, would she choose to give birth to a child for the other party and live in this poor country for the rest of her life?

Louise shuddered inwardly.

She suddenly realized that this could never be the life she wanted.

It's not even as good as she worked so hard under Thompson before.

"You should go to him and ask, are you willing to live like this for the rest of your life? See him once a month?" Louise said sincerely, holding Mary's hand.

This kind of willing grievance is really aggrieved. The more she looks at Mary's pitiful appearance, the more she feels that George Bright is a scum, and she doesn't deserve Mary's consideration for him at all.

"Looking for him?" Mary murmured.

"Yes, look for him, he treats you like this, don't you say he loves you? He loves you that much? He is going to be engaged to someone else," Louise bit the word "engagement" seriously, using extremely provocative words Said in a sexual tone: "Does he also love the second lady of the Butler family? So, are you sure he really loves you?"

"No, I can't. You don't understand..."

"I really don't understand. You said that he is so good and loves you so much, but he has the heart to let you two stay here and get engaged to another girl. It's so unfair to you. You love him so much and stay with him all your life The person next to him is not you, but what about the baby? Does he need his father's company?" Louise gritted her teeth and said, "You said he would come back to see you, but where is he? Maybe as long as he and that girl I'm engaged, so I won't come to see you again, right?"

This sentence undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to Mary. Mary's face was so pale that she could faint at any time.

Mary's blue eyes were crying like walnuts, and the pain made it hard to breathe.

There are two voices in her heart, one is telling her that this is her own choice, she loves George and cannot affect his future, but the other voice is asking her if George really loves her?The previous pledge of eternal love was just a spur of the moment?Since the moment she was forced to move, all the promises had been trapped in this village, even locked in this house.

"It's so unfair, I really don't understand, what are you thinking." Louise shook off Mary's hand and ran out angrily.

She is really worthless for Mary. Mary is a kind and gentle girl. Without George, she should be liked by many people and live happily, right?

Louise actually knew that she should continue to lure Mary to Atlanta when she was most vulnerable, but she couldn't help it.

It seems that they can only wait for the two of them to calm down before using the excuse of apologizing.

She has to get the job done.

Even if it's not for himself, it's for disgusting that scumbag.

Mary stared blankly at her hand that was thrown away by Louise.

There was still a pain on the back of the hand from being hit by the girl when it was thrown down, it was hot, as if she had slapped her hard and loudly.

She used to think that she loved George and could do anything for him, even though her parents objected, she still gave birth to Henry for him, even if she couldn't get married, she was willing to do it, because this is love, unconditional love.

But when she heard the news that George was going to get engaged, her heart felt as if she had been stabbed several times by a knife. She suddenly discovered that she was not so great at all. She not only wanted George to come to see him, but I wish she could be my husband.

She had been willing before, perhaps because George had not yet married another woman.

But... is she really going to find him?

She is really willing, is that all?Mary kept asking herself.

Henry cried and woke up in the middle of the night crying for his father. She often felt exhausted, but George was never there.

Louise’s words still echoed in my ears like thunder——

You love him so much, what about him?does he really love you

Marie was bewildered to realize that there had never been a moment when she had been so unsure of this.

☆

Recently, Atlanta has become completely lively because of a rumor.

The whole process was heated up because of this rumor, and someone even started to open a gamble. After watching for a few days, the two families announced the good news together.

There were a few vague rumors that the Butler family had no such plan at all, but they were completely covered up by joyful voices.

If such a happy event hadn't been approved by the famous and respected families, how could it have spread to the streets?

No one even had the slightest doubt about the veracity of this rumor.

Rumor had worked out well, something George hadn't expected.

It seems that people in Atlanta are happy to see this happen.George thought smugly.

The only thing that puzzled George was why the Butler family still didn't respond when the wind of public opinion was blowing so wildly?

It's like he, the Bretts, hit a tennis ball, but the opponent didn't pick up the move, so how can we play this game?Even if it is squash, there will be walls to bounce the ball back, but the Butler family has not responded at all from the beginning.

Not to mention contacting him, they didn't contact his father at all.

Don't they know?

Soon, George dismissed the possibility.

As the richest man in Atlanta, as long as there is any trouble in Atlanta, it will be impossible to escape Rhett's eyes.

A slap couldn't be slapped, and the opponent didn't accept the move, which made George a little headache.

Now everyone's wind direction is hand and they are a match made in heaven, the timing is just right, maybe he should continue to take the next step now and turn the virtual into reality?

"Master." Just as George was thinking about what to do next, his subordinate Bill walked in.

"What's wrong?" George observed Bill's expression, feeling something was wrong.

"That..." Bill looked at George hesitantly.

"Say something quickly, don't hesitate, what happened?" George angrily threw the crumpled paper on Bill's forehead, "It takes a long time to talk, your tongue was eaten ?"

"It's the young master...Miss Mary said that the young master is sick."

"Are you sick?" George sat up suddenly, his expression a little nervous, "how is it?"

"It only said that I was sick. I hope you can go back and have a look." Bill said in a low voice.

"Aside from being sick, didn't you say anything else?" George frowned. "Have you had a doctor see it?"

"This one……"

"It doesn't seem to be a serious illness, and it's normal for children to get sick."

"But……"

"But what?" said George gruffly.

Bill summoned up his courage and asked, "But you haven't gone back to see Master Henry this month. Now that Master Henry is sick, won't you go back and see him?"

George threw the pen out of his hand, because the cap was not closed properly, and was thrown out on the way, and the pen and ink were thrown straight at Bill's face, smearing the dark blue ink on his face.

"When is it now? You asked me to go back and see them at such a critical time? Maybe Henry's illness is an excuse for Mary, and she just wants me to go back and see her." The more George thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong. Bill roared: "I just didn't go back to see their mother and child this month, and Mary made such a crooked move. If I don't go back for three months, is she going to seek death?"

"But...what if Master Henry is really sick?" Bill thought of the thin Master Henry and the delicate and gentle Miss Mary, and couldn't help but say a few more words to the two mothers and sons.

"He has been sick since the day he was born, and the air in the countryside is good, so I let them go," George thumped his desk. "What else are they dissatisfied with?"

Bill: What a scumbag.

Bill: "Master, you are kind enough."

"Forget it, go and send some more money to Mary so that she can hire the best doctor for Henry." Henry said angrily, "Anyway, I won't go back to see them at this time."

"Understood, Master George. I'll do it now." Bill bowed his head respectfully, and at the moment the door was closed, he reached out and wiped away the dripping ink on his face.

In fact, the next morning after Louise ran away, Louise came to the door with freshly made almond butter cookies to "make amends".

She didn't know if what she said yesterday made Mary feel bad about her.

But Mary has always regarded her as a little girl, so she should forgive her, right?

Louise summoned up the courage to knock on Mary's door.

Mary stood at the door with a haggard face, her weak and helpless appearance was pitiful.

"Mary, I... I'm here to say I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said something like that yesterday..."

"You don't need to be sorry," Mary's voice was hoarse. She didn't sleep all night last night, and she couldn't stop her tears. "I should say sorry to you. You brought me such a beautiful and delicious cake. Fainted."

Louise said softly: "Can I go in and sit? I brought some freshly baked cookies. I hope you can see it for its sake and don't bother with me."

"Of course." Mary moved aside, but just such a movement made her stagger.

Louise quickly gave her a hand, and led her to the living room, "You really should go to rest again, I shouldn't disturb you—"

Before Louise finished speaking, Mary took her hand and asked her to sit down.

After Louise sat down, she took out the cookies made by Maggie: "Try the newly baked almond butter cookies. When they were baked just now, the whole room smelled of butter and milk. They taste really delicious." Very good, I secretly ate a piece and felt better."

"Thank you." Mary took the still warm cookie in her hand, and the crumbs stuck to her hand, but she didn't eat it, she just stared blankly at the cookie, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Mary, you can tell me anything you have to say, don't take it to heart." Louise saw that Mary would not eat, and knew that she would not be able to eat anything, so she hurriedly asked.

"I don't know...no, I want to ask..." Mary just opened her mouth, her tone and tone became crying, and she began to speak incoherently.

Louise saw that she was not filling properly, so she quickly held her hand and said, "Don't worry, ask after you think about it. I'm here, and I won't leave like yesterday."

Mary took a deep breath: "Do you really think I should go to him and ask him?"

Does this mean there is drama?Louise squeezed Mary's hand tightly.

"I don't think the relationship between you is like true love. True love should be like Romeo and Juliet. It will never change until death."

Mary stared blankly at Louise's serious face, showing a wry smile.

"I don't know if he really loves me."

"He said he loved you, didn't he? Maybe I shouldn't be so assertive. That man has a last resort?" Louise continued to use language to hint, "Henry also wants to see his father? The baby is so young, he We all know that father is the closest person, let alone you? I think you should really go to him and ask him, instead of being sad here, swallowing the bitter fruit and tears alone. This is for everyone It's not fair. You ask your heart, deep in your heart, what you think."

"You're right...you're right, I don't ask him to be Romeo and Juliet with me, I just hope he can be with me, with the baby, so that the baby grows up happily and doesn't cry all the time Crying for my father." Mary withdrew the last line of defense in her heart, "I have to go to him, go to Atlanta, and ask him if he is going to marry another girl, and ask him if he really loves me."

Louise looked at Mary's determined expression, and all kinds of feelings came to her heart.

"I support you, Mary, you are so good, you deserve your happiness." Louise lowered her eyes, she didn't even know which sentence she said was true and which sentence was false.

In fact, all the words came out so naturally.

She seemed to really think so.

If it was her, if the other party wanted to give up her to marry another girl who could help him in his official career or guarantee the interests of her family, she would definitely not feel aggrieved in her heart.

If the other party makes her have a hard time, why should the other party be able to have a good time?

Louise telegraphed to Atlanta that afternoon.

It didn't take long for her to get a response: "Good job."

Later, when Louise and Bonnie talked about the details of this incident, Bonnie asked her this way: "Who do you think should be punished most in this matter? Is it George or Mary?"

"George." Louis said without hesitation.

"I'm not just for Ella," Bonnie's expression was light, but the words were sonorous: "If George married Ella, Ella would be the biggest victim, and if it wasn't Ella, it would be someone else , George, the person who loves is himself at all. He is nostalgic for Mary's beauty and gentleness, and he is greedy for the family power behind her. It is all to satisfy his own desires. You say that such a person, I will not let He has ruined his reputation, which is already considered cheap. If it were you, what would you do?"

"What if it was you?" Louise suddenly wanted to hear Bonnie's thoughts.

"First of all, I won't be as stupid as Mary, willing to remain anonymous and be her mistress for a man. Secondly, if it were me...everything I ask you to do is what I would do myself." Bonnie sent A sneer.

Louise had to agree and said: "I might be like you too, why should he live so well, but I have to live so painfully? I saw Mary crying uncontrollably, and even felt that George Damn Brett. But . . . Mary and Henry, innocent."

"Are you sure they will be truly happy with a man and father like George?"

Louise was speechless.

But Bonnie also admitted: "Besides, George did too much in this matter. If he hadn't persecuted the Butler family in this way, we might not have fought back like this. But the matter is over. If you feel sorry for Mary, then we Just come and help her."

It was at this moment that Louise felt that Bonnie was not a little girl.

Her way of thinking is exactly the same as hers, but she knows that this kind of thinking is completely contrary to the education her mother had been taught.But isn't survival the most important thing?

Maybe she made the right choice.

☆

after one day.

The Butler family has a chapter of greetings from Governor Bright's family.

It said that Governor Bright would bring his whole family to the Butler mansion tomorrow, and hoped that the Butler family would be there by then.

"What does this mean?" Everyone else read the post before it fell into Kevin's hands, "Dad, do you want to come here to discuss George and Ella's marriage? But we didn't agree to them at all, did we? Could it be that if the people in Atlanta agreed, we should agree? Just let George marry the person who spread the rumors."

Bonnie snorted: "Isn't he the one who spread rumors? You mean he married himself?"

Kevin: "..."

When Scarlett mentioned this, she became angry: "If we didn't respond, they ran over on their own initiative, planning to propose marriage in front of us, thinking that we would not refuse?"

Ella's expression was very calm: "I can tell them that I don't want to get engaged for the time being, so that Dad and the Brett family don't need to tear themselves apart."

Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief: "It doesn't matter if you tear your face, your father said, he can change the governor of Georgia."

Rhett looked at Scarlet dumbfounded. The words between the beds were said by Scarlet on the stage. It couldn't be cuter.

"Honey, don't be nervous, as long as Ella disagrees, I will never agree."

"Isn't that obvious? Ella doesn't feel anything about that George."

Bonnie looked at Ella a little nervously, but fortunately her expression did not make any waves: "Ella, you really don't like that George, do you?"

Ella looked at Bonnie inexplicably: "Why do you think so? You gave me so many beautiful and novel trinkets, will I fall in love with you?"

Bonnie sprayed out in the next second, laughing so hard that she couldn't help herself, and Ella had to hold her steady so she didn't fall off the lambskin sofa.

——Scarlett: Why does this sound so strange?

——Kevin: It sounds profound, why doesn't he understand it?

——Wade: Don't ask me, I just wonder why Bonnie smiles so exaggeratedly.

- Rhett: Bonnie as long as she is happy.

Bonnie raised her hand, "I just got news that George's lover, Mary, will come to Atlanta with George's son."

Scarlett couldn't help clapping her hands, and said excitedly: "Great, Bonnie, you are so good, you should do this, what kind of onion is George, and he came to threaten our family. Baby, I I didn't know you were so capable, let mom give you a kiss."

Bonnie quickly gave Scarlett a kiss: "Mom, don't do this, I will be shy."

Scarlett poked Bonnie's head, "You've really grown up now, and you can help your dad."

Rhett asked, "Is your news accurate?"

"Our people have taken Mary and Henry to a house in the outskirts of the city. Now that they are all safe, I don't think George would have thought that they had come to Atlanta."

Reid looked at Bonnie appreciatively, and gave a thumbs up: "Temporarily hold back, now we just need to see how far the other party will go."

If the other party is going to save some face for them, maybe the two of them can still have some fun, but if the other party has some tricks, then don't blame them for breaking everything in front of the people of Atlanta.

Although he can indeed bring down Governor Bright, it is not something that can be solved in a day or two to support a new governor. Besides, Governor Bright, besides preparing to force a marriage, the other party has also been supporting him in the business field. Originally The two families had good things together, but they were abruptly caught by the other party's eagerness for quick success. As a result, his affection for Brett had now changed from a plus one hundred to a minus one hundred.

With his power and wealth, there is no need to sell his daughter.

Those with a shallow foundation are the Bright family itself.

☆

The next day.

Bonnie has been notified that Mary is bringing Henry to Atlanta, and the time is just right.

Since Mary was unfamiliar with life, Louise "volunteered" to take her to Atlanta and arranged for her to live in a place arranged by Bonnie.

Mary's whereabouts are under Bonnie's control, so there is no fear of things getting out of control.

Governor Bright brought his wife and son to make an appointment—although he had unilaterally notified the other party, but for him to be a governor, the other party should have welcomed him.

Rhett did greet the Bretts very politely, but he was alone.

In fact, he even saw many reporters hiding outside the gate, as if they were going to get first-hand information.

Peachtree Street has become a private residential area, and no one is allowed to enter without permission, so it is obvious who brought these reporters in.

Governor Redbright sneered out of sight, and then calmly led them to the living room.

The whole family of the Butler family stayed in the Butler mansion, and even invited the Wilkes family. This arrangement made Governor Bright very satisfied. He even felt that the other party wanted to cooperate with him.

After entering Butler's mansion, he felt that today's goal would definitely be achieved.

After the two sides greeted each other, Governor Bright immediately got to the point: "I believe you, Rhett, have heard the recent rumors."

"What rumor?" Rhett immediately pretended to be stupid.

Such an attitude made Governor Bright stunned, "Stop joking, Rhett."

Reid directly robbed the white: "Governor Bright, there have been so many rumors recently, and all kinds of gossip, I really don't know what you are referring to?"

Wait, why didn't he follow the script he had in mind?

Governor Bright is also the governor of a state at any rate, so he has two choices for being able to sit in this position. Although Reid's performance did not meet expectations, he believes that he can still turn the situation around.

And George who was sitting next to him was really in a hurry. Ella didn't even look at him. He knew what tricks he played to sit here, but in order to show his gentle side, Try to suppress all emotions.

"Then I'll be blunt," said Governor Bright. "It's been rumored recently that my George will be with you."

"Is there such a thing? Why don't I know?" Rhett pretended to be puzzled and looked at Governor Bright. "As far as I know, Mr. Ling and my daughter Ella have never met a few times, and the engagement is even more impossible. Speaking of which, the people outside of them are wrong."

"However, it seems that people in Atlanta are very optimistic about the marriage between our two families. I am here today to propose a marriage for my son George. I hope you can agree to the engagement of my son George and your daughter Ella. , I believe that the marriage of our two families will make our cooperation closer."

"But... I don't know if Ella is willing." Rhett said in embarrassment, "I understand what you mean, but I hope that the marriages of my children are all based on voluntary. Yes, I won't force her, I hope you understand that."

When the matter came to this point, Reid still felt that he should give the governor some face.

Stay on the front line when doing things, and see you in the future.

However, Rhett thinks so much about the other party, but the other party may not think so——

Who cares if you like it or not?Brett thought angrily.

Now everyone knows that the two of them are going to get married, and everyone knows about it, he has come here in person, and there are reporters outside, if they just announce it is an oolong now, where is his old face going? put.

In fact, Ella is not Rhett's biological daughter. He married her off, and there is nothing wrong with it, isn't it?

What else is this person unwilling to do.

Governor Bright felt that Rhett's euphemism was nothing more than trying to negotiate a good price. This is also easy. After the two families get married, they are in-laws. If the rich and the two earn money together, this is a win-win situation.

"Actually, Miss Ella is still young, so she should listen to her parents. Your wishes are the most important, because only us parents know what is the best choice for our daughter. If they are allowed to choose, they will Might go astray, don't you think, Rhett?"

The more Scarlett heard it, the more unhappy she became: "Our Ella is very independent. She likes to make her own decisions without our interference. Our family has always been very democratic. Only when she is willing, we will agree."

"Then," Governor Bright turned to Ella who had been silent and indifferent, "May I ask Miss Ella what do you think?"

Ella glanced at George. George's expression was only sincere and yearning. That handsome and handsome face was indeed capable of deceiving people. It's a little nauseating.

"Sorry, Mr. Bright, thank you for your kindness, but I can't agree." Ella replied coldly.

"Why?" It was George Bright who spoke. He stood up anxiously and wanted to walk in front of Ella, but soon, he was stopped by the servants of the Butler family.

Governor Bright coughed, and George realized that he had lost his composure, and went back angrily.

"Then may I ask, Miss Ella, why is this? My son is knowledgeable and gentle, and he is a master of linguistics from the University of Georgia. As far as I know, since he first saw you, he has been thinking about you Mu Xiang, he sent people to send you a lot of gifts these days, just hoping to win your favor." Governor Bright listed the advantages of his son one by one, but between the lines revealed that you are just a girl , and haven't read many books, it's already giving you a lot of face to make you match my son.

Ella's expression was still calm and calm: "But I don't like Master George. I have no plans to date him, let alone get engaged. I don't know why such rumors spread throughout Atlanta, but if necessary, I will I can come forward and clarify to everyone that this is just a rumor.”

Ella said categorically, but Governor Bright dismissed it.

If it hadn't been for Rhett and Scarlett's insistence that they listen to Ella's own thoughts, he would not have asked the question.

He turned to look at Rhett: "That's why I said, Miss Ella is still young, she doesn't know what she needs at all, Rhett, you are so smart, you must know what choice is best for Miss Ella yes, isn't it?"

Rhett was no longer polite to him: "Ella's choice is the best. Scarlett and I absolutely agree with Ella's idea."

Governor Bright has been completely betrayed by the owner. What else does he want to say?

Mrs. Bright took his hand and turned to look at Melanie: "Mrs. Wilkes, what do you think? Don't you think Miss Ella and George are a good match? Their combination is very important for Georgia. Said it was a great joy."

Melanie, who was named, has been watching this farce, but she didn't expect to have the opportunity to speak for herself.

Her voice was gentle and calm: "If Ella doesn't want to, there's no point in forcing, isn't it?" She paused, "Actually, I understand that besides Ella, Master George has many good choices. "

Mrs. Bright nodded: "Actually, we were also in a dilemma. George liked Ella after he came back, and he talked about Miss Ella every day after he came back. Before Miss Ella accepted his gift, he was so happy that he was about to jump up. He tried his best to ask people to go to Paris to find more gifts for him, so his father and I came to Butler's house so urgently, hoping to discuss with the Butler family about the two children."

Governor Bright has long been used to his wife's behavior of telling nonsense with her eyes open. Hearing her words, his mind became active again: "Yes, maybe Miss Ella doesn't understand George's intentions, George, you can't be so shy, It must be that you didn't express clearly before, and Miss Aila didn't understand your intention at all."

——Kevin: Dumbfounded!

——Christine: Plus one for stunned! !

——Wade: I have seen shameless ones, but I have never seen such shameless ones like the Bright family.

—Scarlett: Honey, take him down, I get annoyed when I see them.

——Red: Change and change, follow my wife's orders.

—Melanie: They're such a horrible family, I don't think I ever knew Mrs Bright before.

——Ashley: I'm just a soy saucer, but this family is really shameless.

—Bonnie: I have no idea, I just want to pull Mary and Henry up in front of them and punch them in the face.

"Sorry, Master George." Ella didn't give George a chance at all, "I actually have someone I like, and I hope you can find someone better."

"Ella, I only like you," George said anxiously, "From the first time I saw you, I knew you were the one I was looking for."

Ella curled the corner of her mouth, and her cold face was stained with coldness, which made George stunned: "Then I can only say, I'm sorry, I broke your heart."

"Cough." Bonnie almost couldn't hold back her laughter, but in the end she could only hold back a cough.

Governor Bright has seen the matter so far, and the other party didn't intend to show them any shame. He stood up on his own: "I really hope you can think about it carefully, Rhett, think about the crossover that your company recently bid for. The project of the River Bridge, I think we are not so calm now, it must be that this incident has taken everyone by surprise, so I hope you will think about it carefully and seriously. Lisa, George, let’s go .”

George did a full set of plays, and looked at Ella reluctantly.

Yet Ella refused to glance at him out of the corner of her eye.

"Lisa, George, let's go?" Bonnie said angrily, "It's really shameless. If Mary hadn't just arrived, we would need to listen to their nonsense."

Kevin: "Sister, I just thought you were going to run up and slap him."

"...How can I be so violent." Bonnie said speechlessly.

Reid sneered: "Since they are so wishful thinking, let's tear up their dreams."
