36. Chapter 40

"I just think he looks a lot like my dad."

Let's start from the beginning.

Caroline opened the door and found Mr. Darcy standing outside the door, which she was not at all surprised to find, for the gentleman always seemed to pick the best time to come to her—such as when she was tumbling comfortably under the covers after taking a shower.

I don't know if it's because I don't have enough vision or because I don't want to have vision—these are the two cases—when Mr. Darcy was invited, he looked at Caroline silently, and said something out of bounds.

"I don't think I'll be left out in the cold, sir, and Madame de Baul is really not easy to get along with." Caroline smiled, indicating that she didn't care.

The gentleman who had come to apologize breathed a sigh of relief, for he felt a little awkward in his heart, for he thought that it was his own letter that had caused Aunt Catherine to be prejudiced against Miss Caroline.

Miss Caroline, however, seemed to be a little nervous in this respect, and she expressed her disdain for Madame de Baul.

If you die, you will be left out in the cold, and you won't lose a piece of meat (╯_╰)

Then the conversation began to drift away, and ran in an eerie direction, and Mr. Darcy had said that Miss Caroline was a good person to talk to, because she could interject two sentences about almost anything you said, or that she could make a sound of listening even if she had not studied the subject.

- It's really gratifying.

"Why do you think so?!" Caroline blinked in surprise and remarked by Mr. Darcy's remark that "Colonel Fitzwilliam is a good fit, but not for you...... Curious.

"Isn't it? Darcy grimaced, "If you hadn't kept your eyes on him for more than five minutes, I don't think I would have been able to answer your question." Reserved! Reserved, Miss! ”

Stunned by his words, Caroline gave up on herself, "I just think Captain Fitzwilliam is familiar with it." ”

"Like your friends?"

"No, like my dad."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them froze at the same time.

Against Mr. Darcy's strange gaze, Caroline smiled dryly, "I'm joking, sir." ”

“…… It's not funny at all. Darcy said with a wooden face, "Miss, sometimes I really don't understand what you're thinking. ”

Sometimes I don't know. Caroline complained inwardly, the smile on her face unchanged, "Sir, you will not tell Colonel Sù Fitzwilliam what I said, will you?" ”

The gray-green eyes were watery, and they were full of flattery and ...... Threatened, although her face was beautiful, yes, Miss Bingley always looked different from others.

How can one be so contradictory? Darcy couldn't figure it out, but he realized something.

He stared at her for a moment, "I think so, miss, God always favors you so much." ”

That means there will be no snitching, long live Mr. Darcy!

"Mademoiselle, tomorrow Madame de Baul invites us to a banquet in Rosings, and you will definitely go, right?" Darcy gestured to Caroline in an inviting pose.

Caroline blinked, "Did Madame invite me?" ”

Darcy was stunned for a moment, then laughed helplessly, "No, Mr. Darcy invited you." ”

Caroline bared her teeth, "Isn't Mr. Darcy afraid of Miss Bingley's refusal?" You know, she has a knack for rejecting people! ”

Darcy's face remained unchanged, "So, will Miss Bingley reject Mr. Darcy?" ”

“…… She wouldn't, I guess. At the very least, Mr. Darcy seemed more fit for the perfect husband than Baron Hall. ”

Looking at the pointed chin raised by the young lady opposite, Darcy's heart jumped, and he had a sense of foreboding for the next conversation.

"Baron Hall, I mean Mr. Baddley Hall, what did Miss Bingley reject him?"

Miss Caroline's gray-green eyes reflected the somewhat unpleasant gentleman, her expression was half helpless and half playful, and she looked at Mr. Darcy seriously, "Miss Bingley thinks that Mr. Hall is not sincere. ”

"Oh? How so? ”

"There's no diamond ring for a proposal, and Miss Bingley won't say yes."

“…… Miss Bingley doesn't care about property and form. ”

Darcy said with a dark face, he already knew what had happened the night he had picked up Miss Caroline.

Then he saw the young lady turn gracefully, sit on the bed, look at him with her arms crossed, and still have a smile on her lips, "No woman will not be tempted to face the diamond ring." Miss Bentley is no exception. ”

"So, Miss Bingley means that with a diamond ring, you can marry casually? No matter who the other party is, will you agree to just propose? Or if it was Mr. Hall, she would have said yes. ”

Caroline shook her head, "Miss Bingley thinks that Mr. Hall is not sincere, and more importantly, she can't see Mr. Hall's emotions except for the diamond ring, although Miss Bingley also thinks that it is good to put interests first." ”

But more importantly, she is very similar to Baddeley. Love yourself more than you love others.

So in this comparison, Mr. Darcy is simply perfect.

After a pause, Darcy spoke, words like they were coming out of his teeth, "Well, Miss Bingley means, that Baron Hall really proposed like her. ”

"Obviously, yes."

"Miss Caroline!"

Startled by Mr. Darcy's raised voice, Caroline looked over blankly, and then shook her head helplessly, "Sir, can't you see that I deliberately sued you?" ”

There was no emotion on the man's face, but he could still feel the depression in his heart, and he had already clenched his hands into fists, "Why?" ”

"Can I say that Miss Bingley was actually moved by Mr. Darcy's confession of affection, and thus rejected Baron Hall's proposal?"

"Miss, you're not fit to lie."

Caroline retorted unhappily, "But you can't even tell when I'm lying." She paused, and then said, "Mr. Darcy, I just want to sue you for my attitude. My rejection of Mr. Hall's proposal not only shows that Mr. Darcy has a good eye for you, and that Madame de Baul's words are not true, but also that I am carrying out my word and proving to you by my deeds. ”

Darcy looked at the domineering young lady in front of her in a daze, and she said, "Sir, I have thought about it, I want to give myself a chance, although my heart is not as good as your admiration, but I am willing to try." ”

"Hopefully, one day, I will be able to share my secrets with you."

###

This is probably the boldest confession of Caroline's life.

Although this confession is not a confession in the substantive sense.

If Mr. Darcy used Madame de Baul and Miss Anne to stir up Caroline's indignation and jealousy, she confessed that the move had succeeded.

She didn't find it so difficult to face Elizabeth, but Caroline was a little upset by Madame de Baul's contempt.

Oh, Rosings' dinner.

Go to his dinner party! I'm not afraid of eating overeat!

Charles saw that his sister was in a bad mood and squeezed her arm worriedly, and Caroline met his gaze and shook her head slightly, indicating that she was fine.

In order not to steal the limelight from Madame de Baul, but not to have a good share of it, Caroline really put some thought into the costume - but to be honest, she was not satisfied with this style of dress for a long time, but she was incapable of resisting.

The parish gardens are beautiful, and the renovated houses are very characterful, including Madame Catherine de Baul's reception room, which looks magnificent.

But Caroline didn't like this style, it had a faint nouveau riche character, oh, apparently Pemberley Manor was more beautiful, and Mr. Darcy looked like he was going to do big things!

"Oh, Darcy. I haven't seen you for so long, I really miss you, stay in Rosyns for a while these days, and stay with me, an old fellow. Lady Catherine sat down on the couch and said to Darcy beside her, with some complaint in her tone.

She always felt that her nephew shouldn't run around, which was too inappropriate for a man of his age, "You should find a mistress for your Pemberley estate as soon as possible, and Georgiana needs a sister-in-law, otherwise things will always happen - you know what I'm talking about." ”

Oh my gosh......

Caroline moaned inwardly with a blank face. Yin, she could predict that Tatsui's face must be as black as charcoal.

Spare her! Why is it so difficult to be invisible!

"Hey, Lady Catherine, that's exactly what I'm trying to say." Colonel Fitzwilliam nodded solemnly, "Darcy is always outside, and only Georgiana is at Pemberley Manor, how lonely it is, I think you're right!" ”

As soon as the words fell, Darcy glanced at him fiercely, making you talk more!

But this poked Lady Catherine very much, she nodded very approvingly, and glanced at her daughter Anne de Baul by the way, "Speaking of Darcy, I don't think you will let go of any suitable person, the mistress of Pemberley Manor should be worthy of you in terms of property and talent." ”

As she spoke, she glanced at Anne again.

Darcy stared blankly at the carpet, tired of Madame Catherine de Baul's desire to bring herself and her cousin together.

Colonel Fitzwilliam glanced at Darcy and Anne with interest, and then his eyes fell on the faces of Caroline and Charles, "I suppose you don't have to worry about it, ma'am. ”

"What?"

"I suppose my dear cousin Darcy has the right man in mind, doesn't he?"

"Is this true, Darcy?!" Even after receiving the letter and reading the hints, Madame de Baul could not believe it, and she stared at Darcy in vain to confirm the truth of his words.

I saw the gentleman's eyelash-eyed eyes raised, and he spoke very seriously, "Yes, aunt." I have the right person. ”

"Who is it?! Which lady? How many properties are there? How many talents do you know? What about relatives at home? How does it look? What about taste? And most importantly, will she be able to do it all? ”

Lady Catherine's words did not frighten anyone, and when she had finished speaking, she turned her head in a huff and set her eyes on the innocent Caroline—although Darcy did not look at the young lady at all, Lady Catherine was 100% sure of this inference.

"Aha, Miss Caroline Bingley, may I ask you these questions? - As Darcy called 'a shy, cultured, gentle and generous young lady'? ”

God, who will save her!
