Age of the Titanic Wasn't an Issue

The New Year's bell finally rang, and Lisa and his wife were celebrating the New Year in their own villa. Of course, they also invited Lushi, but they were still rejected.Lushi didn't want to disturb the relationship between their husband and wife. This year, they were alone, and they always had to give them space to get along.

Lu Shi knows that she will celebrate the New Year with her two children who are only three or four months old.Margaery Brown also asked Lucy to go to the festival with her.In this way, Lu Shi will not go there even more, because this is a Margaret Brown family gathering, what are you doing there by yourself?Of course I refused.

Lu Shi asked the chef to prepare dinner for several people, and let those with family members go back first.On days like this, since I can't be reunited with Karl, I can't hinder others either.Besides, I was originally an orphan, and I always spend the New Year alone. This year, I have at least two sons by my side.Although I couldn't speak, I was so busy that I forgot.Because no matter how well-behaved the two sons are, they will not cause trouble to Lu Shi, but they will never eat and drink by themselves, and they will always serve the two boys.Fortunately, Ash is a person without a family. She was a single mother at the beginning, and now she has no children, so she has nowhere to go.

"Ash, don't you want to go somewhere? It's really embarrassing for you to help me take care of two brats all day long. I always want to give you a day off to rest and go out to relax." Lu Shi smiled and said to Ash.

After hearing this, Ash turned pale, as if he had been hurt.

"Ma'am, are you going to drive me away? I have no place to go. I am very happy to take care of the two young masters every day. I don't need to rest, just let me take care of you with you. Take this opportunity of vacation Leave it to others. Besides, you really can’t take care of the two young masters by yourself. So I don’t need to rest.” Ash quickly expressed his feelings to Lu Shi.

Lu Shi laughed when she heard this, and said to Ash, "You are really good. Others are very happy to hear that they can have a vacation. You really want to act as if I am going to fire you. You have helped me take care of two people so hard. I'm a child, I'm not happy yet, I think I'm a lot more relaxed. Even Lila doesn't take care of you so hard. Since you need it, then forget it. If you need it, then just tell me. I always want to give you a day to rest, otherwise others will say that I abused you."

Ash, after hearing what Lu Shi said, he was relieved, as long as he didn't let himself leave the two young masters, then it would be the best thing.

"Thank you, ma'am, I will take good care of the two young masters, just like my own children, and I will never let the two young masters get hurt." Ash said happily to Lu Shi.

"Do you like Tommy and the others so much? Then just work hard. I still say that, as long as you take care of your two children with all your heart, they will take care of you when you are old." Lu Shi knew Ai After Shi Shi's story, his heart softened, even though he was still very worried about his two children.However, he has also relaxed his vigilance towards Ash. As for whether this kind of trust is suitable or not, I believe Karl should have investigated it clearly a long time ago, and will not make the same mistake again.

"Yes, ma'am, I don't expect the young masters to take care of me in the future. I just want to take good care of them. When they grow up, I can often watch them from a distance. Knowing that the young masters have children too , I also want to take care of the young masters. Ma'am, don't you think this is the happiness of life?" Ash looked lovingly at Lushi's two sons.

Lu Shi was taken aback when she heard this, but she still smiled. It's really good that her two sons have such a loyal wet nurse.

"Then let's look forward to it together, and I also look forward to it. My child can grow up healthy and safe. As for inheriting the Hawkley family's property, I haven't thought about it for so long." Lu Shi actually said the latter words very quietly, So Ash didn't hear it.But it doesn't really matter anymore, Ash is already very excited about what he said earlier.

"Yes, thank you Ma'am, for allowing me to stay beside the two young masters. It also made me feel ashamed just now, because of the existence of the two young masters, I have the hope of survival. "Ash sighed and said to Lushi.

Lu Shi looked at another woman who was hurt by love, and this woman was more pitiful than herself.It's just that when I was hurt, I had children in time.But this woman lost her child.Perhaps her two sons are her hope of survival.

"Okay, then let the other people go, the two of us will take care of the children here. Let's also celebrate the New Year with the two children. I think it should be a good idea." Lu Shi smiled and said to Ash .

Ash nodded, smiling too.I am really grateful to Lu Shi for accepting herself.Speaking of which, after Lu Shi said those things to her, she had always been wary of herself, but now she seems to have let go of it completely, and she is not afraid of taking away the trust of the two young masters.

After the two of them finished talking, all the servants in the house went home.Only Leila remained here.

Lila also waited for the two of them to finish chatting before coming out with the food prepared in the kitchen.

"Hehe, ma'am, Ash, are you two ready to talk? Then let's start eating something. Today is the Chinese New Year. Although the other servants have gone home, we still have our own excitement. Isn't it?" Lila said to the two with a smile.

Lushi also smiled and said, "Lila is really, so let's put the two children in the cradle. Let's watch the children while eating. After all, this is how the New Year is spent. "

Lushi also joined the ranks of serving dishes, and Ash took care of the two children.

After that, the three of them talked and laughed, and had a sumptuous dinner, which was very lively.

It's just that after dinner, there were no sideshows, so Lushi asked everyone to go back to their rooms to rest.And Lushi went to the study to read some books.

Lushi was holding a book in her hand, but she couldn't read a single word.Thinking of Carl in Philadelphia or somewhere else.I don't know what Carl was doing there, maybe he was dining with his family, or at a party.

Ruth is thinking of Carl here, and Carl is thinking of Ruth there.

Carl was holding wine in a corner, just looking at the crowd dancing there, without any interest in dancing.

"Why, why is our Master Hawkley just staying here drinking? I remember that last year, you were the most prominent man here, and you could choose any coquettish or gorgeous woman as your dance partner. What about this year? Don't you need it? Is it because of the engagement? I think Mary Meyer is really clever." Jenny Hawke, who is a friend of Carl, teased Carl.

Carl glanced at Jenny and stopped talking, just took a sip of his wine.

"Why did I guess right? Oh, marriage is really scary, but I still need to be free for a few more years." Jenny said with a big laugh, thinking he had guessed it.

Carl glanced at Jenny lightly, thinking how this kind of playboy would know what love is.As for the useless woman Mary Mayer, it was just a shield that he still needed now.

"Whatever you want, you like to be single, and if you are single, don't bring some topics to me. I don't like these topics. It's just that I think you should restrain yourself and don't go to all women. If you get some dirty things by then , I see how unrestrained and free you are, even the right to inherit the family will be lost. At that time, you will have nothing." Karl looked at Jenny's □, and said pointedly.

Jenny shrank his legs and said to Carl: "Oh, Carl, don't tell me that, I have inspections every year, and there will be no such thing as you said. Maybe, Carl, you don't mind I have a past with Mary Mayer?"

Carl listened, just shook his head, who would care about this person.But I don't know if Jenny will still mess with her in the future?It's not that I want to know the problem, anyway, the relationship between two people is just like this.Now I have important things to accomplish.

"Of course I don't mind. You know, no one has a past. Besides, our engagement is just a combination of interests. You don't mind my mood." Carl shrugged and said to Jenny.

"Is that so? That's the best, but I don't seem to have seen her recently, are you restrained?" Jenny wanted to learn something from Carl.

Only then did Karl know that Jenny wanted to learn about Mary Mayer through himself.But I feel that these are nothing, anyway, I don't care.

"Well, it seems that we haven't seen her since we came back from California. You know, I had an agreement with her at the beginning, and I won't ask her about her private life, so it's useless for you to ask me .” Carl said directly to Jenny.

"Oh, really? I thought Miss Mary Meyer had changed her mind and she wanted to treat your engagement well. But now that I think about it, I guess I have a new love." Jenny said to Carl in disappointment.

"Really? Maybe, anyway, these have nothing to do with me. You, give you a warning, there are so many women in the world, you don't have to pay attention to such a woman all the time. You also said that you want to enjoy freedom. This is you Do you mean it?" Carl said to Jenny.

"Really? I'll think about it. Well, there's a woman waving at me over there. I'll go right away. I think you're right. There are so many beauties for me to choose from. I don't think I should hang up." Didn't he die on such a tree? Of course, if there is a chance, I would still like to taste it." Jenny walked away with a smile.

Karl didn't pay attention to what Jenny said, anyway, the advice he gave was already done with the utmost benevolence.If he still messes with it, then it's not his fault.I have to think about whether my plan is perfect, but I don't have much time, the sooner I finish it, the sooner I can meet Lushi and the children.These are the things you need to do.

Koons came over.

"Boss, why are you drinking here? I thought you were going to dance with some beautiful woman. I was already prepared to wait until the dance music stopped before I came to find someone, but now I have saved all these troubles."

Carl just squinted at Koons, only to let Koons quickly tell what happened to him this time.Otherwise, you can go.

"Yes, boss, I have something to report to you. Miss Mary Meyer seems to have found a good doctor, and her illness seems to have been cured. I think these things should let you know." Kun S said to Carl.

"Really, that's good. This shows that you are still not efficient enough. I am really disappointed that she was able to find a cure so quickly." Carl said to Koons indifferently.

"Boss, these are just the speculations of the people below. Maybe things are not so bad. After all, those diseases cannot be cured, so don't worry, it's just a doctor who lied to her." Koons thought for a while before Said to Carl.

Carl didn't care about this matter at all, but asked Koons, "How are those people doing in the Meyer family business?"

Koons knew why Carl asked himself this question, but he was really ashamed to say it, because it was impossible for him to soar up without help.

"I'm afraid I've disappointed you. Although those people have good abilities, they won't make it to the decision-making level in such a short period of time. So I'm afraid it will be useless for a while." Koons He shook his head and said to Carl.

"Really? I'm just asking about the situation of those people. Let them work with peace of mind. They will naturally be used when the time comes." Carl said as if everything was under control.

"Yes, then do you want to go back, or continue here? The Hawkley family's industrial shares have almost been acquired, and now Mr. Nathan should know about it. See how you deal with it now." Koons Thinking of another question, he asked Carl.

"Really? It doesn't matter. I didn't seem to hide it for a long time. Now that I know it, it's good. I don't have any meaning here. It's just some beauties and fine wine. I really shouldn't come." Carl said He put down his wine glass and prepared to go back.

Koons and Carl left the meeting place and were about to return to the family manor.

Back home, sure enough, Nathan Hawkley had asked Lai Fujie to wait there.

"Master Karl, master, please go to the study to discuss things. I think you should be free now." Lai Fujie said to Karl respectfully.

Carl took off his coat and handed it to the maid who followed, then nodded and said, "It's time to see my father, I think I should have a lot to say to him."

Carl went up to the second floor, went to the study, and knocked on the door.

"Come in, I think it's time for you to come back at this time. Maybe every man who no longer hangs around will take care of his family like this, regardless of whether his woman is by his side or not." Nathan Hawkley said to Carl.

"Yes, father, I have a woman, a woman I really love, and a woman who is not accepted by you. But I just love her. There is no way." Carl said directly to Nathan Hawkley.

Nathan Hawkley was smoking a pipe, just watching himself grow into a handsome son.He has really grown up and is able to control everything in the Hawkley family.Even coming to seize power.If it wasn't for an old friend to remind me, I would still be in the dark.

"Do you really think you are in control of everything?" Nathan Hawkley asked Carl.

"Yes, at least I think I am in control of everything. After so many years of hard work, I can finally control everything in the Hawkley family." Carl said bluntly to Nathan Hawkley.

"Really? Is it worth it for such a woman? What can she give you? No nothing, on the contrary, Miss Meyer can give you more. Shouldn't you think about it? Didn't I agree with you two Are they together? Why are you still making progress?" Nathan Hawkley asked in bewilderment.

"None of these are what I need, so I want to give her more things. This is what you promised me and I can't sit down." Carl said directly.

"Isn't it okay even if she cheated on you? You know, she hid the news that her daughter was alive purely for the sake of our family's money. I will not admit such a woman. Besides, she Your existence will also make you the laughing stock of the entire upper class." Nathan Hawkley said stubbornly.

Carl sighed, sat on the sofa, and said directly to his father: "Maybe it will become a laughing stock, but I love her, that's the reason. As for money and so on, I think what she has now is not enough." It can make her life very nourishing. Then what do I have to do with my money, it’s just icing on the cake. And, do you think Mary Mayer is a good one? I won’t let her live well, she is already She is a useless person, and she will be disinherited in the near future. You must know that the Meyer family still has many illegitimate children. Those people are like hungry wolves, waiting for her to make a mistake, and then they can pounce on her and take a bite. Maybe the project you collaborated with will be wrong."

Nathan Hawkley was surprised when he heard the news. He didn't know these things at all.Maybe he has it all ready.But I also have something to say.

"Do you think you have mastered all of them? You underestimate the strength of each family too much. If it is true as you said, then how do these families that have existed for hundreds of years survive? Really as you think Is it that simple?" Nathan Hawkley really didn't know what to say about his son, so he could only give him a reminder like this.

Carl took a deep breath, but he had already decided on something, so there was nothing he could do.

"Since I have made a decision, I can't change it. Success or failure is my business. I just want to be with her. Maybe my strength can deal with those people." Carl still Stubbornly thinking you are right.

"Since you are like this, if you lose, then you don't have to inherit the Hawkley family's property. It's not that I don't have other heirs. I think you should know what I mean." Nathan Huo Ke Li said seriously.

"Of course, I've known this since I was very young. Otherwise, why do you think I started planning family affairs when I was in college? Because I also want to think about my future. Just It seems like everyone has someone behind them. What do you think?" Carl raised his brows and said to Nathan Hawkley.

After saying this, Carl left the study, not wanting to say anything to his father.Go back to your room and rest.In the coming new year, I'm afraid I won't have much rest time.

Nathan Hawkley watched his son go out.Still the original action.It's just that the mind is still sad.

"Do you think I will really do that? I love your mother so much, maybe I don't want you to go my old way, but since you have made up your mind, then I will let you work hard. It's just that I can Give you a support. And since that woman has a child from our family, I want to see if she has the qualifications to enter the door. It’s really just hard enough for you. Don’t you have any other skills? " He muttered to himself, in this empty study, is there anyone who can hear his voice?

When Lu Shi put down the book, it was already very late, at least midnight.First, I went to see the two sons in the nursery.Only then did he return to his room, ready to rest.While changing clothes, I saw that it was snowing outside the window, so I got dressed and looked at the window for a while.

The exhaled air turned white, and sprayed on the floor-to-ceiling window glass, forming a white mist.

Lush wrote Carl's name on it with her finger.

"Carl, I hope your plan can come true. On this day next year, our family of four can be reunited. Of course, you don't have to bear any burden. If you really can't complete this task, then I don't have so many complaints .I just want to let you know that I love you." Finally drew a heart, and then closed the curtains.

went to bed.

In her sleep, Lu Shi dreamed that her family of four was reunited.The family lives happily together.I also visit Rose occasionally. Rose and Jack are married. They live happily and have many children.And then, Rose became old and became an old lady, and suddenly saw the Titanic being salvaged on TV, and the old Rose went to that ship to remember the old days. The love between myself and Jack.

Dreaming of this, Lu Shi smiled.
