[Titanic] I can't help myself

John has never met Viscountess Waynes, and he has always been dissatisfied with this woman who had too much contact with his boyfriend. It's not that he doesn't believe in Dan's feelings and loyalty to him, it's just Viscountess Waynes's opinion It has always been very bad. Anyone who knows that his lover has had close contact with a person who is likely to covet his lover will not feel comfortable.

When he vented his anger in front of me like a bitter woman for the nth time and complained why Dan was friends with that kind of woman, I couldn't bear it and pointed out mercilessly: "Come on, John, there is no one but you No more shots at a dreary man like Dan."

"You are not allowed to say that about him!" John immediately jumped up to defend his man, "He is just not good at expressing himself! He is smart and understanding, knowledgeable and funny!"

I picked up a biscuit and put it in my mouth, squinting at him as I chewed.John kept staring at me, and finally collapsed on the sofa as if suddenly deflated.

"I know I'm stupid to look jealous, but I'm so worried!" John wailed, pressing the small cushion on the sofa to his face.

"Could it be that you don't have confidence?" I picked and picked on the plate, picking out the last few coffee-flavored biscuits, "It's not like they are left alone, you and I, and Miss Rose will be there, maybe Viscount Waynes will be there too. And I swear on the honor of the Booketts, Viscountess Waynes won't be interested in your Dan, and she's not one of those."

"Not that kind of person? Huh!" John jumped up from the sofa, snatched the last coffee biscuit from my hand and stuffed it into his mouth, "I don't know who got involved with my brother-in-law , and almost gave birth to an illegitimate child."

However, John, who had a lot of opinions on Viscountess Waynes the day before, changed his attitude 180 degrees after the dinner the next day, after only two hours of chatting.I have to admire Viscountess Wayans' eyesight. She must have seen at a glance that the relationship between John and Dan is extraordinary, otherwise she wouldn't mention how Dan praised John in his letter every 10 minutes.As expected, John was coaxed by the Viscountess Waynes to smile, and his face was flushed with laughter.

Viscountess Waynes came this time mainly to sign a cooperation agreement with Dan. She hoped that in the next ten years, the novels written by Dan could only be submitted to her newspaper, and she plans to open a publishing house recently, so Dan The publishing rights of his novels must also belong to him.

Dan didn't care much about these things. He didn't plan to make money by writing books. Writing was just a hobby. After reading the contract and not finding any excessive clauses, he signed his name and sent it to the lawyer.

Rose is also a loyal reader of Dan. When she found out that Dan and I were friends, her scream of surprise almost pierced my eardrum.She didn't miss any chance to chat with Dan. If she wasn't afraid of being too rude, she didn't even want to leave Dan. This kind of fanatical attitude almost made Jack jealous.

Rose is now chasing Dan's "Amnesia Man", which tells the story of an officer who was seriously injured in the head and fell in love with the nurse who took good care of him, and even proposed to her, but after returning to the front line, he died because of another injury. Lost memory of her.After the war, he got engaged to a well-matched noble lady, but ran into a nurse again on the street. At this time, although he couldn't recognize the nurse as his beloved, he felt an uncontrollable heartbeat, as well as thoughts in his brain. Blanks flashed from time to time, he found that he seemed to have lost his memory for a period of time, and was determined to get it back.

The story is currently stuck here. After the nurse learned that the officer was engaged, she was heartbroken. She misunderstood that the other party was just playing with her feelings. He couldn't let it go, and after the noble lady learned of the officer's forgotten memory, she kept silent out of selfishness, but was tortured by guilt, and felt extremely unbearable for the nurse's experience.

The whole story is tangled and heart-wrenching, and the emotions are so delicate and lingering that it is impossible for a man like Dan to write it. I was in a cold sweat, but it moved Rose to tears again and again.

She couldn't resist asking Dan about where the story was headed, promising not to tell anyone else.Dan didn't mind, and told her the idea of ​​the subsequent storyline in detail, and discussed with her some plots that he himself was not sure about.

The two chatted for the whole afternoon, and it wasn't until the dinner gong sounded that Rose got up to go back to change.

"It would be great if it could be made into a movie." Rose walked out of the study with us, and said as they walked, "I think Fred Clark is the best candidate for the lieutenant, tall, handsome, charming..."

"Please, Rose." I dragged my tone helplessly, "Praise other men in front of your husband, you won't be afraid of hurting his heart. Judging from Jack's expression just now, if Fred With Clark in front of us, Jack would have fought him."

Everyone laughed out loud, Rose stopped, turned around and took her husband's arm: "Although I appreciate all good things, but you know that I only love my husband, in my heart, you are the world Most attractive man ever."

The gentlemen whispered kindly again, but Viscountess Waynes frowned slightly.

"Ross, that's a really good idea!" Viscountess Waynes said to Rose in a joyful voice amidst the banter, "Why don't we make this into a movie? Lord Dan's story is so well received. Widely welcomed, if it is made into a movie, it will definitely not lack audiences!"

"The movie has no sound, so there is no language barrier." Carl quickly continued, "This war has affected the entire European continent, and it has also involved North America. Movies related to this war will definitely attract everyone's attention. And everyone Having just come through such a brutal four-year war, a beautiful love story is just what a people desperate for sunshine and hope needs."

"That's right." Viscount Wayans agreed, then turned to her husband, Viscount Wayans, and asked, "What do you think of this idea, dear? We can set up a film company, and Lord Dan can be the screenwriter .”

Therefore, the establishment of a film company was put on the agenda in the corridor of Acton Manor.

The Viscountess of Waynes looks weak, but acts swiftly and resolutely. During the Christmas holiday, she began to prepare for the establishment of the film and television company, and began to publish Dan's previous novels into volumes. It was translated into other languages ​​and sold in European countries and the United States to create momentum for the filming.

Rose is obviously very interested in acting in movies, and she convinces the Viscountess Wayans that if "The Amnesiac" is to be made into a movie, she wants to play the heroine, Miss Nurse.

Viscountess Waynes naturally couldn't agree anymore. Rose is very beautiful, as long as her acting skills are not too bad, she will definitely become a hit.And the mother's decision to Rose can be described as violent anger.

"I thought you had become a normal person, but I didn't expect you to be crazy!" the mother yelled angrily, "Actress? You're kidding! I even refuse to stay in the same room with this kind of person!"

"Mom, your concept is outdated! Acting is not a humble profession, and female singers were not respected in the past, but now you see, the king personally received Sarah Odweis and praised her as great Singer!"

"I said I wouldn't allow the Bucket girls to do that kind of menial work! You've already disgraced us by messing with a little bastard! Please don't embarrass us again!"

"Mom!" I yelled, "you still don't accept Jack? I thought you were like me and thought of him as family!"

"Of course I regard him as a family member." The mother said with a straight face, "but you have to admit that he was a gangster at that time. This is a fact that cannot be changed."

"But my surname is no longer Bucket!" Rose said angrily, "The sister of the noble Earl Richardmond has died of pneumonia! The funeral has been held and she will be buried in the tomb of Acton Church District! I am just a humble American commoner who is fortunate to look like the Countess! What career I will have has nothing to do with you and the noble Countess Richardmond!"

"Rose, please stop talking!" I yelled at her, "It seems that you are no different from the past on this point, you have always been so reckless! Can't you speak well!"

Rose closed her mouth tightly, turned her face away, stared at the ground and said nothing.But the mother was about to explode.

"Get out!" she growled, panting heavily, "don't let me see you again! Rose Dawson, get out!"

Rose immediately stood up, opened the door and rushed out of the room.I didn't chase her out, because I wasn't worried that she would pack her bags and leave Acton. Jack was still there. He was a hundred times more sensible than Rose, and he knew that under the circumstances, the last thing to do was to run away from home.This will only intensify the conflict to the point of no return.

Seeing Rose slamming the door and leaving, the mother trembled with anger and was speechless for a long time.I quickly helped her to sit on the sofa.After panting for a long time, the mother said tremblingly: "She is too much..." Then she began to angrily talk about all kinds of disobedient and outrageous things about Rose since she was a child, and reprimanded her one by one. .

I was not in a hurry to defend Rose, and when my mother seemed to be happy and vented the anger in her heart, I said, "Mom, although Rose has returned to Acton, it doesn't mean that she will never leave again.”

Mother paused and looked sideways at me: "Henry, what do you mean?"

"Although Rose has grown a lot over the years, it doesn't mean that she has become what you want her to be. She has always been rebellious." I slowed down my speaking speed, Try not to let what you said irritate your mother again, "If it wasn't for the war, she would not come back, and the war is over, I don't think it will be far before she leaves Acton."

The mother's eyes widened slowly, and the expression on her face was shocked with a trace of sadness that she tried to hide. It took a long time before she cleared up her expression and returned to the original serious and numb expression: "If she insists on doing I can't stop her from that kind of occupation, but if you want me to happily agree, it's impossible!"

"Mom," I drew out my voice, leaned my head on her shoulder, endured the psychological discomfort, and acted like a child, "what time is it now, the nature of the profession of an actor has changed You see, the transformation of the manor was a shameful thing in the past, competing with ordinary people for jobs, but now? They all envy me for my courage and insight-of course, this is all due to Karl. So actors are the same , if it is good enough, it will even be more important than the king in the hearts of the people."

"Stop trying to convince me with this kind of rhetoric. Like I said before, we are not noble because we are richer than others. There are rich upstarts everywhere these days, but no one They will say they are nobles! This is the gap!" Mother suddenly stood up and said sharply, "Miss Rose of the Bookett family is dead, and Mrs. Rose Dawson's affairs are not my business. What does she want to do? It's okay, it has nothing to do with me! I'm tired now, I want to be alone for a while, go out!"

I quietly exit the room.Mother really can't interfere with Rose's affairs, she can't force Rose, she can only change her attitude to accept, or pretend that she didn't see everything that made her angry.

The author has something to say: I am so tired from writing, my brain cells have all died recently, where is my enthusiasm for writing? ! ! !
