"Breakfast"

"Don't bother her"

In the dim distance, there was a faint sound of conversation, and Emma opened her eyes. Unfamiliar room, small and tidy, there seemed to be a warm smell of fireworks in the air, sandwiched with the aroma of bread. By the way, this is Mr. Thomas's house.

"Good day. Emma smiled and greeted the crowd around the breakfast table.

"Good day, Miss Kentra. Mr. Darcy bowed slightly to Emma.

Emma glanced at Mr. Darcy, wondering if it was her psychological effect, whether Mr. Darcy had been staring at her for a long time, could it be that she was dressed inappropriately today? Emma looked at herself without a trace as she sat down. She wore an old dress from Mr. Thomas's youngest daughter, a bright peach, with layers of lace at the cuffs and cuffs, and she felt like a doll when she looked in the mirror. But it was the only young girl's dress in Mr. Thomas's house.

Mr. Darcy's ears echoed Mr. Thomas's earnest teaching: "Accept it, feel it more with your heart than with your head." "I don't know how to feel Mr. Darcy, but it's always right to observe.

Mrs. Thomas did not know Mr. Darcy's feelings, and when she saw that Mr. Darcy looked at Emma with an expression that was extremely strict because of her seriousness, she thought that Mr. Darcy was a little angry because of what happened last night, and hurriedly said, "Miss Kentra, you got up so early. I tell your servant not to disturb you. Did you sleep well last night?"

Emma smiled and nodded. "I slept very well and the tiredness of these days was swept away. "Now is not the time to let our guard down, and while Emma trusts Mr. Darcy's vision, the enemy is still in the shadows ready to strike. So Emma didn't sleep deeply, and woke up in the morning when she heard the noise, but her body was full of energy.

Mrs. Thomas was very pleased that Emma had regained her spirits. "That's good, yesterday your face was a little pale, today you look much better. Some mushrooms? It's the chef's specialty. You look too thin. ”

Emma always felt that Mrs. Thomas had the shadow of Mrs. Ashley, and some of their expressions and movements were very similar, and they were very concerned about her face and body shape. However, Mrs. Ashley, based on her impression of the original owner, preferred to see the quiet and ladylike side of Emma, but Mrs. Thomas preferred the vigorous young man. Emma pretended to be stern: "There is a slang saying in my hometown that even if you miss a ball in London, you can't miss the chef's specialty. She turned to the servant and said, "Please bring me some mushrooms." ”

Mrs. Thomas covered her mouth with a handkerchief and laughed. "There must be a lot of smart people in your hometown who know how to enjoy life. ”

Emma winked at Mrs. Thomas. "You're right. ”

Mr. Darcy watched silently and wrote it down in his mind. Emma tends to choose the gestures that are most conducive to the current situation, such as the cheerful and humorous at the breakfast table, the panic and uneasiness during yesterday's police officer's questioning, and the gentle and low-key social situations that have always been, Emma never shows that she is not proper enough. In this way, she must know that the road that is different from ordinary people is full of thorns, but she still insists on it, which shows that independence is really important to her.

For two days in a row, Emma did not receive any news. Mr. Darcy also stayed at Mr. Thomas's house as a protected object. During these two days, Emma was certain of one thing: she had no delusions that morning, and that Mr. Darcy was really watching her.

This struck Emma as a little odd, and she thought that keeping their distance after the failed proposal was the best way to avoid embarrassment, but Mr. Darcy seemed to change his attitude overnight.
