Chapter 40: Confession

Mr. Wickham rode down the street on his steed, and was in as good a mood as the weather was to-day. He seemed to be able to see what it would be like to marry Emma. Although this horse is good, the pedigree is not pure enough, and you can change it after you get married, no, buy four. Just as he was thinking about the place of pride, suddenly several people ran to the horse. Mr. Wickham's face changed as soon as he saw their familiar faces, and before he could think of how to prevaricate, a creditor had already shouted: "Wickham, you shameless liar, hateful villain, trick us into taking money to do business, in fact, to pay off your gambling debts." ”

Emma had been waiting for these people, but when she saw them appear, she still showed a surprised look, protected the frightened Georgiana behind her, and whispered, "Don't get out of the carriage." The servants of Bloomberg hurried over to protect the carriage.

The person who shouted just now continued: "I'm sorry, it wasn't our intention to frighten Miss, please go back first, we have called the police officer to confront Wickham." ”

Georgiana's worry overcame her fear, and she said in a trembling voice, "Is there some misunderstanding in it? Mr. Wickham is not such a person." ”

"Miss, you have been deceived by this liar, we all have his IOU here, and the officer can prove that we are not lying. ”

Emma gently shook Georgiana's hand: "Honey, let's go back to Bloomberg first." Leave two servants for Mr. Wickham to make sure he is not harmed. The officers are impartial, and if Mr. Wickham hadn't done something like this, he would have been able to go back soon. ”

Georgiana was worried but there was no better way, and Mr. Darcy and George were not there, so she had no choice but to agree.

Back at Bloomberg, Georgiana sat worriedly in the living room and kept looking at the door. Emma stayed by her side, whispering to comfort her.

Soon, the servant who remained with Mr. Wickham returned, bringing the news of course that Mr. Wickham was indeed in debt and had been taken away by the police officers.

Georgiana's face turned white. "How so!"

Emma took her in her arms and patted her on the back. "My dear, there are many times when people in reality are different from what we remember, and I think this incident is very unexpected, and when Mr. Darcy and his brother come back, we can ask them to investigate again. ”

As if seizing the slightest opportunity, Georgiana muttered, "Yes, maybe there's something else going on." ”

After an afternoon of frightening and worrying, Georgiana soon felt a little tired, Emma accompanied her back to the bedroom, she took Emma's hand and talked for a while before falling asleep, even if she fell into a deep sleep, her brow still slightly furrowed. Emma gently helped her pull the quilt up. My dear, it always hurts to remove a cancer, but you will be happier in the future.

The long-standing hidden danger is finally solved, Emma is in a good mood and decides to treat herself. There is a small building in Bloomberg that has a large terrace that is perfect for enjoying the stars in autumn. Emma took a glass of red wine and tasted it on the terrace while watching the beautiful starry sky.

Suddenly, someone behind her called her. "Miss Kentera. ”

The familiar deep voice was Mr. Darcy. I don't know when he returned to Bloomberg, it was a surprise to meet him here, the two had not had much contact with each other, and Mr. Darcy had not approached her since Cozwold had proposed to keep his distance. Maybe Mr. Darcy is here to enjoy the night sky, or maybe Mr. Darcy wants to meet someone here? Emma thinks she should be a little more conscious: "Mr. Darcy, you're back." What a coincidence, I was just going back, you can come here, the view is better here. ”

Unexpectedly, Mr. Darcy did not get out of the way, but took a step forward.

Emma felt that something was wrong, they were too close, the distance was beyond the safe range. Mr. Darcy's expression was also different from usual, and his deep eyes flashed with a strange look, staring at her intensely. Emma's heart slowed by half a beat, and she had a little premonition of what was going to happen next, even though it felt incredulous to her. "Mr. Darcy?"

Mr. Darcy's right hand was clenched nervously, and his heart was beating too fast, but he was reluctant to take his eyes off Emma. "Today may still not be the right time, but I can't wait to watch you take on responsibilities that don't belong to you, and be silent with all kinds of accidents. I hope you don't find me too abrupt. Mr. Darcy followed George around the outside, only to realize that it was a minor accident and did not require a special trip. George couldn't even tell this, and Mr. Darcy really felt Emma's hard work. When he came back and heard about what happened to Emma and Georgiana when they were out today, what distressed Mr. Darcy the most was that he couldn't even comfort Emma openly and share her worries. Mr. Darcy felt that he could not remain silent any longer, so he hurried to make his mark clear.

Emma stared blankly at Mr. Darcy, speechless.

The first sentence is spoken, and the rest is not so difficult. Mr. Darcy's already magnetic voice was touching because it was full of emotion, and his tone was slightly urgent. "I don't know when I can no longer take my eyes off you, and a smile from you can make me lose the courage to resist. Maybe it's your beautiful eyes, maybe it's your courage in a critical moment that attracts me. I don't have an answer to where love came from until now, the only thing that is certain is that I hope to be able to spend my life with you in the future. We can travel together, sit on the couch in the Bloombury study together, read our favorite books, exchange ideas, and play your favorite piano music together. ”

Mr. Darcy was shocked that he could say such a thing, but who could blame a gentleman for expressing his feelings too passionately? "I am very aware of the necessity of your predicament, and I can understand it. In the future, you don't have to worry about things you shouldn't be involved in, I have some understanding of investment, although politics is not what I am good at, but I can strengthen my understanding from now on. Your brother will be one of my responsibilities, and I will do my best to help him. ”

Although emotionally it still doesn't feel real, Emma's brain has habitually summed up the main points. "So you mean, because my brother's talents are limited, I have been involved in a lot of things that I shouldn't be involved in to help him, and you promise to fulfill these responsibilities for me in the future?"

Mr. Darcy was keenly aware of Emma's strange tone, and no matter what Emma thought, such a rational analysis did not seem like what a woman who fell in love could bring up when she was proposed to by her crush. Mr. Darcy's heart suddenly sank from a fluttering cloud to a great stone, and his expression became stern. But he thought the judgment was correct, and the promise was well thought out, and Mr. Darcy replied earnestly, "Yes." ”

Although she should have answered first, Emma had a question that was really unpleasant. "I thought you were good, but in your heart I don't have a good quality. You know, what you said to me once"

"Nope. Although the affair involved an unspeakable crush, Mr. Darcy decided to explain it clearly. "Of course, your behavior is not appropriate, but I know very well that you have no additional undeserved emotions. I should have refused sooner, but I did not live up to the moral standards of a gentleman, and I kept making excuses for you and myself, hoping to justify your actions, until that day," Mr. Darcy remembered that day, and though he kept telling himself to forget the scenes that should not be remembered, the more he tried to forget them, the clearer the memory became. If it seemed too flirtatious to see Emma cleaning her wounds that day, Mr. Darcy coughed awkwardly, skimmed the change in mood, and concluded, "I think it is necessary to make it clear to you. I have an unshirkable responsibility for this matter, and I have said inappropriate things, and I should apologize to you. ”

Emma was impressed by Mr. Darcy's courage to speak the truth, and then rejected him: "I'm sorry. Well, what's the sound?"

Emma seemed to hear the sound of metal crashing outside, but held her breath and listened carefully, but there was no sound. Emma continued: "I'm sorry, it was my choice, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. You have a certain misunderstanding of me on this point. I appreciate your kindness, but please forgive me for not accepting it. Since your feelings for me are based on misunderstandings, I feel like you need to reconsider after explaining clearly. ”

Truth be told, Emma was shocked when Mr. Darcy proposed, but there was no such thing as anger. Although Mr. Darcy had some incorrect perceptions of her, his attitude was sincere, his tone was not arrogant, and Emma knew the weight of Mr. Darcy's promise. He doesn't make random promises to please a woman, his promises are deliberate and will be kept. Emma wanted to explain it to Mr. Darcy, but after learning that what made her ashamed back then was not all her responsibility, Emma didn't want to talk to Mr. Darcy for the (β•―_β•°) time being

Mr. Darcy had never envisioned such a scenario. He knew that Emma was keeping a certain distance from him now, but he thought that it was just a sequelae of his stupid words, and that Emma had no reason to reject him as long as he explained it clearly and was forgiven by Emma. I didn't expect Emma to say such a thing. He wasn't sure if it was Emma's true words or if he deliberately said something like that because Emma was still angry. He knew he should ask, but the uncertainty in his heart was mixed with the embarrassment of rejection, and he couldn't speak for a while.

Emma felt that she had made it clear, and turned to go back. Unexpectedly, I pushed the door but didn't move, pushed the door again and still didn't move, and pulled the door and didn't respond.

Mr. Darcy also felt that something was wrong, and put his doubts aside for a moment, and silently walked over and tried to open the door, his muscles tensed and his arms strained, and the door panel was still firmly blocked there.

Emma's face darkened.
