The Honor of My Family

Chapter 53

We went into Netherfield Park. We all went our separate away. Us women went to the parlor talk a bit before dinner. This is going to be good. The guys went somewhere else. Probably to the study or library. Somewhere my father won't mind.

A little bit later a servant came into the room. But I could tell they were not alone. There was something behind them. But I couldn't see who.

"Lady Catherine de Bourgh mama." The servant said as she moved out of the way.

"Lady Catherine, I am so happy you could make it." Caroline said giving her a small hug.

"Well, I couldn't miss this. Thank you for inviting me." Lady Catherine said.

She took a seat not that far from me. She looked at me and gave me a small smile. What is she doing here? Was this the bad feeling I had earlier about? Does Darcy know she is here.

It was later that day. We then headed to dinner. I went to Darcy's side. His eyes went big when he saw his aunt. He then took my hand to reassure me.

"I take it you didn't know." I whispered to him.

"No. Do you why she is here?" He asked me.

"Caroline invited her." I answer him.

We got to the dining room. I went to take a seat next to Darcy.

"No, no my dear. You can't sit there. You can't sit next to your husband." Lady Catherine said to me.

"Well, then we shouldn't have a problem when we are not married yet." I said to her.

"Elizabeth." My mother said in disappointment.

But I didn't care or bugged at all. Darcy took his seat right next to me. Everyone didn't know what to say. So, they just took a seat. I know Lady Catherine is staring daggers at me. Also, my mother looking at me with disappointed.

Dinner went just how I thought it would. Lady Catherine talked about herself and saying things that should be done. I just ignored her most of the point. Also, when she brought up about Darcy's and my wedding.

"It's getting late. How about you guys stay the night? We have enough rooms." Bingley offered.

"What a smart idea brother. We must assist you stay. It's not safe after dark." Caroline said.

We all agreed. Then was showed to different rooms. Caroline was the one who was showing us to rooms. Darcy got the room he stayed in usually. Let's see where she is going to put me.
