[Pride and Prejudice] Plain water

Anne led Georgiana into the drawing room, looking even paler now.

"Sit here," Annie said as she took a chair and helped her to sit down.But she stood up again immediately.

"No, I can't," she said sullenly. "I can't lie to you, whoever he is."

Darcy and Anne were shocked, and at this moment they had a bad feeling.

"Whoever he is?" repeated Darcy, lost in a daze.

Georgiana nodded seriously, and then said with some pain: "He said that if you found out about this, you would definitely stop us,"

"Who is it, Georgiana?" Darcy was at a loss, pacing back and forth.Anne was also at a loss, looking straight into Georgiana's eyes, hoping to get an answer.

Avoiding Anne's eyes, she said in a low voice, "Brother Wickham."

"Wickham?" Darcy questioned but was a little shocked.

"Yes, Wickham Wickham. Mrs. Young and I ran into him by chance at the seaside, where he was on vacation, and we chatted, and he told me how much he suffered from the indifference between you. It hurts, I prefer when you guys are still friends, there shouldn't be anything between you that can't be resolved, I was so relieved when I heard him say it was just a stupid misunderstanding, and both Clarified so there is nothing stopping us from being as happy together as we used to be. He reminds me of when he put me on the pony and led me around the yard and he gave me a bag of acorns when," she said with a smile, "he said it was lucky we met again, and it would be as if our friendship was meant to be restored, and I said I didn't like acorns anymore, and he laughed, and he said then he'd send I'm a diamond."

"Is he real?" Annie asked, "What did Mrs. Yang say?"

"She said it was very nice of me to entertain a friend, otherwise I wouldn't have had another chance," Georgiana said.

"Accommodating him?" Darcy felt more and more shocked.

"Yes, he comes over to eat occasionally, and he comes to join us when the weather is wet. His chess is still so good, but I have also improved. I beat him twice." When she said this, her face Emerging vitality, looking at Georgiana, Darcy's expression darkened again.Annie remembered that Darcy told her to stay away from Wickham before, and then she also knew something about Wickham, and now he actually has contact with Georgiana, she should have thought of it earlier, she felt something wrong when she saw Wickham treating Georgiana before , she knew now that something was wrong because Wickham was too attentive to Georgiana, and she was almost fainting at the thought.

"I made you unhappy." Georgiana asked cautiously.

"Not at all," said Darcy, trying to keep his composure, "you have done nothing wrong."

"I didn't intend to fall in love with him, I really didn't," she begged, "I know I'm still young, but he told me so many happy future scenes that I believe our marriage is a certainty." It's over."

"Marriage?" Annie called out in surprise after hearing this.

"He...he said he loved me, and it reminded me of when I said I loved him." Georgiana said happily.

"When did you say that?" Darcy felt that he didn't know his sister at all, and he regretted that he shouldn't have left her alone for business.

"He picked me up when I fell through the courtyard gate."

"But you were only seven years old at that time!" Darcy said in surprise.

"Of course it was a childish thing to say at the time, but the more I saw him, the more I believed I fell in love with him early on, it's just that I don't want to lie to you, I wanted to make it all public, and I told him he had to Proposed to me in the normal way, but he said you wouldn't marry us before me, wasting three years of our precious time together. He said we should elope and write you a letter in the Lake District. ’ Georgiana described their plan.

"You agree?" Darcy was deeply shocked.

She fell silent. "I thought it was a risk, but now that I've met you and know how painful it is for you, it's not an adventure anymore."

"No, it's really a scam. He loves you for your property, and for hurting me! What a disaster it would be to convince you to abandon your family and friends and elope with him." Darcy said angrily

"No!" she retorted, "it's not like that, he loves me."

They saw fear in her eyes, they didn't want this to go on, it would hurt her to know that bastard had never loved her, but Darcy and Anne couldn't keep her in the dark.

"We didn't want to tell you this, Georgiana," said Anne softly, reassuring Georgiana, "but I must. He doesn't love you, he uses you."

She broke down at this point.Darcy had nothing to do with her tears, and they didn't know what to do, how to comfort her, but they stood helpless while Georgiana's pain passed by itself.
