Age of the Titanic Wasn't an Issue

Rose, who was dreamed by Ruth, is also spending the New Year with Jack at this time.

"Ah, it's snowing." After finishing dinner, Rose looked out the window and suddenly discovered this fact.

"Really? This is the first time for the two of us to spend this snowy night together, and there will be more snowy nights for us to spend together in the future. Rose will be more lively here in the future." Jack actually knew that Rose was here what to think.

"Yeah, a year ago, I never thought that I would come to the United States. At that time, my father was still there, and my mother didn't leave me. I didn't expect so much to change in less than a year. And there are so many people around me. It's just you, Jack." Rose said to Jack relaxedly.

"Yes, of course I know that compared to your happy life last year, today's year is much simpler. I'm sorry I can't give you a rich and happy life, but you believe me, one day I will use my Paintbrush, draw words like Monet and Picasso, everyone likes it. At that time, you don’t have to go to Broadway constantly like now, we can buy a farm, ride a horse together, go out to sketch together, you will be me What do you think of my model?" Jack said to Rose with a smile.

Rose laughed when she heard that, shook her head and said to Jack: "Oh, Jack, don't make yourself so nervous. I know what kind of person you are. You don't need to work so hard. , I am with you, and I fall in love with you because of you, not because of material things. If I am really because of material things, then I simply marry Carl, which is the most direct way. But I don’t, then you It’s time to know what kind of life I want.”

Jack hugged Rose, put a lip print on Rose's forehead, and then said with a smile: "Yeah, my Rose has never looked down on me because of my poverty. I really should feel very happy." I am honored and very satisfied. But why, I still want to give you the best? Rose, you have to believe that I will succeed."

Rose felt that she had not accepted the persuasion, so she just gave up. In fact, if Jack can succeed, Rose will be happy for him.I'm really happy, but I'm not such a vain woman, I just want Jack not to be under so much pressure.

"Don't force yourself too much. By the way, you seem to be very popular in drawing people in the square now. There are many young girls and some women who ask you to draw, but you have to control it well. Myself. I don't want you to be entangled by a lady like Countess Ross." Rose said carelessly.

Jack felt uncomfortable for a moment, but quickly returned to normal.He raised his left hand and showed Rose the ring on his ring finger.

"Look at what you said, I'm wearing a ring on my hand now, those people won't be boring to be the third party, right? Hehe."

Rose smiled when she saw it, and held up her left hand for Jack to see.The two held hands together, quietly watching the snow outside the window.

"Rose, I want to tell you something. I hope you won't be angry after hearing it. I'm asking for your opinion now. If you don't agree, then I'll forget it." Jack hesitated for a long time Said to Rose.

"Well, what's the matter? You're so nervous, please speak up." Rose looked up at Jack.

"It's the Countess Ross you mentioned just now. She found me last month and said she wanted to fund my art exhibition. But I don't know if I should agree, so I just dragged it on. I know you can't see it." I feel that she often messes with those young men, and I am also hesitant." Jack said to Rose hesitantly.

Rose froze there after hearing this.The Countess Ross that I know, gives me the impression that she is my mother's best friend.I also went out with my mother. When I saw her, I was often with those young men. I thought I was noble, but in fact it was just like that.She has always looked down on her, but when her family was in debt, she also proposed to help her family and lend her family [-] pounds.The only woman who helps her family, so it is really complicated.

"So did she make any request, or let you be with her?" Rose asked cautiously.

When Jack heard it, he felt really speechless.

"Rose, what are you thinking? How could I be with her? She just wanted to help me, saying that she knew my talent when she was on the boat and had seen my paintings. Although she said that I have nothing Impression. The impression she gave me was that when your mother looked at me with critical eyes, she was one of them. So I think she must have really taken a fancy to my paintings. Isn’t it true that some rich people will invest in some in advance A promising artist? Am I not very talented?" Jack puffed out his chest and said to Rose.

At this time, it was Rose who was speechless. Why did she think so? The Countess Rose was almost with her mother. How could she go to the lower class cabin to see Jack's paintings?Lies are so unqualified, so I want to pick up Jack, a young and handsome guy.

But he couldn't stop Jack's opportunity to display his talents.

"I would like to meet her if I could. I would also like to know how my mother is doing. She is a good friend of my mother. I think she should know the whereabouts of my mother. And Karl has forgiven us, I think It doesn't matter if I see my mother. It is always my regret to leave my mother alone." Rose said to Jack decisively.

After hearing this, Jack asked his own question, "Why, why don't you want Carl? Didn't she know? We seemed to see him and Lushi getting into the car together that day, so he probably knew Lushi's address. .”

Rose hesitated for a while before she said to Jack: "Although Karl has forgiven us, I still don't want to see her. Let's go through Countess Rose, and I also want to know why she wants to support you .I can also confirm whether she has plans for you."

Jack had no choice but to agree.

"Then let's go in a few days. After all, we are celebrating the New Year these days, and so are others."

The two of them realized that it was getting late, so they ended the topic and took a rest, and went to see Countess Ross when the time came.

After the new year, Rose also has a lot of performances, so she only has free time when she knows that it is halfway through the new year.Fortunately, Countess Rossi will not come to the United States for the time being because of the Titanic.Going back by boat also requires mental construction.

The three of them made an appointment at the Eisen Hotel.

Rose and Jack came to the better place as early as possible.I just ordered a cup of coffee and waited. The coffee here can be refilled, so I ordered this.After all, the two of them really don't have much money. Even if Countess Rossi will pay the bill when she comes, it's better not to waste it.

The Countess of Rose Rose soon came.

"Oh, look who I met. It turned out to be Rose. It turns out that Jack's wife is Rose. It's really lucky. I was able to meet you." After the Countess Rose sat down, she smiled and said Said Rose.

"Countess Ross, I'm also very surprised to see you here, but don't you think it's better for us to talk about Jack first? After the discussion is almost done, let's discuss my affairs." Rose He directly said to Countess Rossi straight to the point.

"Ah, Rose, you're still so direct, you don't know how to greet me well at all. How can you say that you still ask me." Countess Rose said sadly.

Rose felt speechless, so she decided not to say anything.Just pushed Jack a bit, let Jack negotiate with Countess Rose.

"Eh, what you suggested last time, Countess Ross, is it still effective?" Jack asked boldly.

"Oh, have you made up your mind now? Are you afraid that I have any plans? But seriously, how many works have you prepared? You should know that if it is a special art exhibition, it needs a lot of words to support it. I can help you, but I can't make you lose everything. Even if I look at Lu Shi's face." The countess of Ross directly stated her problem.

Jack felt that this was really embarrassing. He had always sketched characters, so it seemed that it was really not enough now.

"Eh, I think it will really take a while. If you can give me half a year, I think I should be able to produce enough works." Jack thought about the works he had now, plus the six months' work. Effort should be enough.

"Oh, then half a year later, okay, I hope you don't let me down." Countess Rose nodded indifferently. The man who thought she had got it may be hopeless now.But looking at Rose, I should still help. How can I say that I and Lu Shi are also friends, although I don't know where Lu Shi is now.

Rose should say thank you now.Otherwise, I would really be rude. Besides, I still want to know the whereabouts of Lushi.

"Thank you, Countess Rose, even though you originally had some expectations, but now I don't see any evil thoughts in your eyes. So I thank you." Rose sincerely thanked Countess Rose.

"Hehe, you are so afraid of what I think about Jack. I just want to see it. I really didn't expect that both of you are alive. At the beginning, you didn't want to get on the lifeboat just to save Jack. This young man. Lushi is really sad. She even threatened the crew with a gun and asked them to come and kill you. At that time, that vulgar woman Margaery Brown would help her. I don’t know if you have met? "It's not that the Countess of Ross didn't regret it, why didn't she go with Lushi at that time.Let yourself lose a good friend like this.

"Yes, it was my mother who saved us, but I chose to be with Jack, so we separated later. Now I don't know where my mother is now. I want to see her." Rose said Come out with your own true thoughts.

"It turns out that she really prepared everything. I think I was really bad. I didn't dare to go there at the time, because I was afraid that the whole boat of us would be overturned in the sea. You know the weather at that time, even if it is It was also very cold on the boat. If I really fell into the sea, I thought I would freeze to death. So I didn’t go with the rescue. Rose, you think I’m cowardly and there’s nothing you can do about it, but most people are very We are scared, even if we are on the boat, what should we do if we don't get the lifeboat?" Countess Rose said to Rose.

After listening to Countess Rossi's words, the two people opposite seemed to be in the sea water again.It was really cold, and Jack couldn't even breathe. If it wasn't for the half pill that his mother gave him, he might be in a different situation again.

"I know what you think. There were boats capsized at that time, and you were afraid." Rose said to Countess Ross.

"As for Lushi, I don't have any news about her now. She walked with Carl at the beginning, and I think they should be together. However, Carl is no longer here and has returned to Philadelphia long ago. I heard that You are also engaged. So Rose, you can rest assured." Countess Rose said directly to Rose.

After hearing this, Rose said directly: "Really? I have seen him, and there was a woman beside him at that time. It should be that one. I don't know which lady it is?"

"It was originally a well-known family in Philadelphia. The Meyer family, I heard that this lady named Mary Meyer is the only heiress. This pair of Carl is enough to make up for the loss of the marriage contract with you two. I know that he fell in love with you not only because of your beauty, but also because of your title." Countess Ross said directly to Rose.

After hearing this, Rose realized why Carl was so calm after seeing her.

"Then you don't know where mother has gone? Then it's impossible for me to see her." Rose said to Countess Ross in disappointment.

The Countess of Rose looked at the disappointed Rose, and said with a smile: "Although I don't know, I think Margaret Brown should know. If you need it, you can go to her. Their family is in California."

When Rose heard the name Margaery Brown, don't be too familiar with it.Jack, too, would have made a fool of himself on the boat if she hadn't been there, though he said he didn't care.But in order to prevent Karl's conspiracy from succeeding, this is the best way.

"Margaery Brown? Maybe we can find her, but if possible, wait until after I open the art exhibition." Jack said to Rose.

Rose didn't know what to do, but she just nodded, knowing that Lucy was with Margaery Brown, so there shouldn't be any danger.

"Okay, since I have decided to choose you, then of course your future is the most important thing. Since Mommy is with Molly, then it doesn't matter. Find time to find her." Rose said with a smile .

Countess Ross looked at the two of them and made a decision, then smiled and said: "I think Jack's talent must be very good, so he should be able to succeed. In fact, if it is really possible, Rose, you can I went to find Lushi alone. I know the address of Margery Brown’s villa in New York now. Even if I’m not there, I can know the exact address. If you find Lushi, please send me a message. In a word, I still want to be a good friend with her."

Rose looked at Countess Rose and knew what was going on between the two of them.

"Okay, I will convey it. She can forgive a woman like me, so you are just afraid. So it doesn't matter. Mom will definitely contact you." Rose sincerely faced Countess Rose Said.

"Thank you then. I'm going first. Here is my address and phone number. Jack, if your paintings are finished, then you can call this number, or come here to find me." Countess Ross summoned an usher , Ask for a pen and paper, write down your address and phone number, and give it to Jack.

"Thank you, Countess Ross, I will definitely work hard." Jack took the note respectfully, and said gratefully to Countess Ross.

"You're welcome, it's just a kind of favor I gave to your beautiful boy at that time, although I can't think about it. Rose wishes you good luck." Countess Ross said and left.

Rose and Jack watched Countess Rose leave.

"Okay, Jack, let's go back. I think we should go buy those canvases and paints. You should be retreating. I have to think about whether I want to go to my mother." Rose stood up, Said to Jack.

"Well, I must choose the tool carefully, and I must not miss it. Otherwise, I will be laughed out of my teeth when I take it to the Art Exhibition Mountain." Jack said to Rose.

"Of course, we must choose the best one. Then let's go." Rose said and pulled Jack to the exit.

"Hello, let's pay the bill." Rose took out the handbag and prepared to pay the bill.

"Hello miss, the lady at your table has already paid. So there is no need." The cashier smiled and said to the two people.

Rose and Jack didn't care, after all, they didn't have much money, and now was the time to spend money.Now it's time to save money, but for the past six months, Rose has to make money by herself.

After the two of them went out, they went to buy painting supplies.

A few days later, Rose still decided to go to Margaery Brown's villa in New York.

After entering this villa, there are only some servants left behind.

Rose didn't know exactly what to ask these people.

"Hello, miss, what's your business? This is a private villa, so please don't make things difficult for us." A maid stepped forward and said to Rose.

"Hi, I'm looking for Mrs. Margery Brown. I'm the woman of one of her friends. If possible, can you tell me the address?" Rose said directly to the maid with a smile.

"Eh, may I ask, which friend of our wife are you talking about? I need to confirm." The maid continued to ask.

"That lady's name is Mrs. Lucy Bukett. I think she has an impression. After all, she should have lived in this villa before." Rose thought for a while before asking.

"Oh, I was asking Mrs. Ruth Bukett. Of course I know, she also lived in this villa for several months. But now she has gone to California with my wife. You are her daughter, why don't you tell her Together. Calculate the current time, she should have given birth." The maid revealed a big news.Rose didn't know what to say.

"What, you said that this lady is pregnant, it's impossible, how is it possible, you're lying. Who is the father of the child?" Rose asked excitedly.Can't believe this is real at all.

"Hehe, there's nothing you can do if you don't believe me, but this is true. At that time, I heard that she was almost lost, but Lisa only saved it. It seems that she is like this because she suffered a lot of injuries. But look Now that you are such an adult, of course you can't accept that your mother can have children. It's a matter of course. You don't need to be so excited." The maid comforted Rose.

Rose didn't even know how to ask now.What is the address?Forget it, it's better for the two of them not to meet each other.But it's been less than a year since my father passed away. Why, my mother found a new home.Listening to what the maid said, she still really didn't have much time to go to bed.Why do I feel so hurt?

"Miss Bucket, do you have any questions? If there is nothing else, then I'm leaving. You know, it's really not easy to clean such a big villa. "The maid wants to let Rose go first, so how could Rose not know that.

I had no choice but to say to the maid: "I want to know where my mother went to in California. Is there a specific address? If so, I want to find her, at least to see how she lives. Or There's the newborn baby. You know, we were separated by a shipwreck, so I want to find them as soon as possible."

"Okay then, I'll write you an address and a phone number. If possible, you should confirm it yourself." Seeing Rose's pitiful expression, the maid could only sigh.

Rose came out of Margaery Brown's villa and got the address and phone number.But the mood is not good at all.Very sad and disappointed, why is my mother like this, is it really so impatient.

"Forget it, I'm going to meet her after all. After I see her, I'll ask you carefully." After putting the note away, Rose went straight to her home.

Jack was constantly creating in the studio, but when he heard the door closing, he knew that Rose had returned, so he greeted him.

"How? Did you ask?"

"Well, I asked. It seems that I have to go and see her in person. Jack, you can take care of yourself." Rose made such a decision along the way.
