How powerful is a person's mind?

Baddeley Hall can be well interpreted.

Even if the marriage proposal was rejected, he was still able to maintain a calm and breezy posture, what should be done or what should be, and talk and laugh with his suitor, as if what he said before was Caroline's delusion.

Born strong, or encountered unforeseen difficulties, that's why he is like this.

Either way, Caroline admires it from the bottom of her heart.

Caroline was still in Kent when she heard from Baddeley.

The letter was addressed to Charles stating that Mr. Stephenson had made a substantial leap forward in his research at Newcastle, and he said he was thrilled to share it with his partners, the Bentley siblings. In addition to the official report, Baddeley Hall also greeted Charles's sister, his dear Miss Caroline, at the end of the letter.

"If you may, Charles, please help me convey to Miss Caroline that the moonlight was fine that night, and that I will continue to see the opera, and that I will drink the glass of wine, whether sincere or not, ten thousand times more.

Yours sincerely,

Badley James Kahan Hall"

Charles crumpled the letter expressionlessly, and Caroline was shocked when she saw it, her brother couldn't be blackened, right?!

"My dear sister Carol, is there something you haven't told me, huh?"

Carol, who only calls her Carol when Charles is angry, and, sister.

It's over!

She seemed to see a pitch-black pot lid snap on her head.

With a dry laugh, she leaned over to Charles, resting her head lightly on her brother's shoulder like a little girl.

"Chary, don't be angry, I don't even know what you're angry about, how about some tea? Or do you want to have dessert? I'll make you cookies? Milk? Coffee? ”

In his ears was the coquettishness of his sister who he hadn't heard for a long time, Charles's thoughts were in a trance for a while, he seemed to remember when he was a child, her sister Caroline, oh, at that time she would obediently let herself be called Carol, always coquettish to herself, and let his brother and Louisa help her deal with some fluffy little problems.

For example, the broken Qing porcelain belonging to his father, such as the torn fine-grained yarn belonging to his mother, such as the kitchen utensils that are inexplicably missing at home.

But after the age of seven, Carol seemed to grow up overnight, and she was no longer close to herself, not that she was not a good sister, but that she no longer bothered his brother.

For Charles, there was no sense of accomplishment, and there was even a lot of depression in his heart.

He wanted to see Caroline well, like a little princess, held in his hands, by Louisa.

But his father is gone, his mother is gone, and Louisa's temper is becoming more and more erratic, and what about himself? On the one hand, he obeyed the constraints of the Bentley family, learned etiquette knowledge, and inherited the family business, but on the other hand, he indulged himself, wandered in social places, and escaped from reality.

Caroline was smart and mature, she saw through him, but she didn't say anything, and she didn't say a word about what she was supposed to do at her age.

Charles saw it, but didn't intervene.

Why?

It's probably the occasional thing in her sister's eyes, and even she may not have cared about it, indifferent.

Yes, indifferently.

He didn't want to admit that he was just Bentley in his sister's eyes, her brother, a man of such status.

She respects herself, jokes with her like a brother and sister, and helps her manage the family business whenever Charles says so.

However, he knew in his heart that this was not the Caroline he wanted to see.

No matter how much they look like brothers and sisters, they are just like them.

But not long ago, he felt that the "like" brother and sister were becoming "is" brother and sister.

She was worried about him, worried about the Bentley family, and she finally put herself in the name Bentley.

I have to say that Charles was really surprised for a moment when he saw Caroline worrying about her marriage and running around troubles, and thanked Bennett.

He did like Miss Jane Bennett, but only did.

A beauty, with good looks, talented, lovely personality, not too shocking thoughts, Gu family, and some valuable courage, although the family is not decent enough, but she can't stand her father is a squire, it's not bad, with herself, it's enough.

Why not?

Charles has countless reasons to contradict Darcy, and who says she doesn't like herself? Who said Miss Jane just had the same expression? Who said she didn't have the courage? Isn't it courage to run to London alone? He's not stupid, he's just soft-eared.

But instead of refuting, he complied with Darcy's wishes, and left Miss Jane Bennett.

So, why?

A smile appeared on Charles' face, because he was a Bentley, he was the head of the Bentley family, he was Caroline's brother, he was Louisa's brother, he was the owner of the factory, he was the owner of the field.

That's why, he's not just a Bentley, he's a Bentley, he's a multiplier, and likewise, he's got multiple responsibilities.

There is no doubt that Miss Sarah Hill and Miss Jane Bennett would have thought that he Charles Bentley should have chosen Miss Hill.

She is a nobleman, she has talent and good looks, property and social status, she is not bad, and most importantly, she likes herself.

That's enough, no matter how bad her temper is, the other flashes of her body are enough to overshadow such small imperfections.

Charles Bentley wasn't just a gentleman, he was a businessman.

Businessmen, all of them are premised on profits.

What's more, the interest he identified was not so disgusting to accept.

He has a crush on Sarah Hill.

There is something more important than love.

Moreover, he was never in love with Miss Jane Bennett.

Thinking about this clearly, naturally his attitude towards Miss Sara changed.

The young lady was not stupid, she must have felt it, but she didn't say it, but used it in action—like treating Caroline even harder, and giving her all sorts of things.

Marriage is marriage, and love is love.

Charles chose marriage.

Because family interests and responsibilities are much more important than love.

- Besides, he hadn't seen a coquettish Caroline for a long time.

"Sara is good."

Without answering Caroline's words, Charles was silent for a long time before suddenly speaking.

I felt the little head on my shoulder freeze for a while, then relaxed again, and answered in a low voice, "Hmm." ”

After a few more moments, he heard his little sister whisper, "Thank you, Charles." ”

For the sake of her happiness, he gave up his love.

However, not necessarily, who said that Sara can't be his happiness?

Charles curled the corners of his lips and pretended to smile stupidly, "Carol, I don't accept such a thank-you, don't you have a gift?" ”

In the next second, the girl suddenly exploded, "Gift, gift!" Would you like to give you Easter eggs? Also, my dad gave me the name Caroline, not Carol. ”

"So Caroline, can I sue your brother? You and Baddeley, what's going on? ”

The girl froze immediately.

###

"What?!! He really proposed to you?!! Charles's eyes widened, and his turquoise eyes were full of incredulity.

"I thought he was joking......"

Seeing Charles talking to himself, Caroline's eyes narrowed, "What do you think...... You, you know? His intentions? ”

"I don't know!" Charles retorted violently, and realized that he was refuting too quickly, and he was stunned and at a loss.

Caroline hooked the corners of her lips, Charles, you big fool, "He proposed, and I refused." ”

"What's ......?!"

Before Charles could finish his astonishment, Caroline added, "Mr. Darcy knows, too." ”

Charles: "......"

The way he opened his mouth in surprise was so stupid that poor Charles was shocked by the news before he could react.

Calming down the surprise in his heart, Charles couldn't help but ask, "Why would Darcy know?" ”

"I sue him."

"You're ......" crazy?!! Charles was dumbfounded, he realized that he must be too old to keep up with her sister's train of thought.

"I know what you're thinking, Charles, and I have mine in mind." Caroline was calm and didn't feel like she had done a great job.

However, this is exactly what happened.

"You know I'm going to turn down Mr. Hall, don't you?" Caroline spoke, "Of course, I'll say no because of Mr. Darcy. ”

"Charles, my love is still not that important, and Baron Hall will bring unexpected gains to Bentley, which I understand, so he is a good husband."

"Then you still ......"

"But Charles, don't forget Mr. Jì Darcy." Caroline was calm, she wasn't shy to talk about it just because she was a young lady.

"Compared to Baron Hall, Mr. Darcy will also bring us the benefit of Bingley, he is handsome, generous and virtuous, both in family and property, and is very suitable for us, and your sister and I, not to mention whether he is worthy or not, just in terms of Mr. Darcy's vision, Charles, do you think he has a bad eye for picking people?"

"No ......"

"Yes, I thought so too." Caroline lowered her eyelashes to hide the affection in her eyes, and tried to keep her tone as calm as she could, "Most of all, Mr. Darcy admires me. ”

"What about you? Do you love him? ”

Do you love him?

Tell lies, don't love. To be honest, I don't know.

Caroline's long eyelashes fluttered, she really didn't know.

She admits that she is an ordinary person, there is a handsome guy, or a handsome guy with money, status, noble character, and comprehensive knowledge, how can she not be tempted by the pursuit of herself by the male god she used to be? !

She is a layman, how can girls be moved in the face of such a situation? Don't say admiration, love is a certainty.

So Caroline is no exception, she loves Darcy.

Besides, I like it more slowly little by little.

Darcy was right, he had already made her feel his enthusiasm with his actions.

However, she still did not agree to his pursuit.

Like Charles asked, why.

Because, I can't afford to love.

To fall in love is to be responsible.

She has a secret.

What if she agrees to Darcy's marriage proposal and she disappears? It's like she suddenly appeared in this world, what if she suddenly disappears?

She can't afford it.

She was afraid.

So, no, you can't say yes.

"Charles, you say, can the clouds be stored when they leave the sky?"
