[Titanic] I can't help myself

Henry was able to allow him to pursue himself largely because of soft-heartedness, and William knew this well, but he was not discouraged by it.The beginning of many relationships is because of touching or pity, but smart people will cultivate this pity into love.Love is something that is not clear at all, sometimes it is too pure and it is not easy to maintain.There is nothing in this world that will not change, as long as you are patient enough, and what William lacks most is patience.

As a result, the world is gradually smudged with color, and it becomes more and more colorful.

He has never been so innocent before, as if expecting a rose to bloom, he carefully cultivated it.It took him three months to get the third kiss, and then another whole year before he kissed Henry's naked body with the help of alcohol. Of course, the price was not small, and Henry had enough money Didn't speak to him for a month.

The relationship between the two developed slowly but steadily.Although Henry is young, he is unexpectedly mature and understanding. Sometimes William even feels that he is the one who is tolerated in the relationship between the two.But the feeling was unexpectedly comforting, sometimes gurgling from the bones as he leaned against Henry's lap and looked up from the bottom up at his young lover's graceful neck and chin. Coming out, it was as comfortable as if the whole body was soaked in hot water, especially when Henry couldn't hold on any longer under his gaze, put down the book, hugged his head and gave him a kiss, all this made him He felt that this was probably the case in heaven.

Acton has been struggling to survive in a half-dead state.William's help was rejected by Henry.

"I have my own way of dealing with it all myself," Henry emphasized, "and, I hope you don't forget, despite my young age, I am the future master of Acton, the next Earl of Richardmond. I am a man .”

"Of course, of course, I know, I know." Henry's serious look was like a cat making a serious expression. William couldn't help holding him in his arms, and kissed him deeply, "Otherwise why would I love you so much?"

"Please, I'm serious!" Henry, who broke free from this deep kiss, opened William's face with his hands and lay in his arms, "You have helped too much. Acton hasn't reached the last moment yet, give I, the heir, have a chance to realize my own value, okay?"

William's eyes wandered over his wet eyes and red and swollen lips, but Henry resisted resolutely, so he could only retreat, turned his face to kiss his fingers, "too much? No, I always feel that I It's too little for you, Mylove. You know, everything about me is yours, including my life."

Not long after, the No. 15 Earl of Richardmond, who was decadent in alcohol and prostitutes all day long, died on the big bed in the bedroom. The cause of death was alcohol poisoning.Henry, who was only 14 years old, inherited the title, left school to go home, and took over the burden of Acton from his irresponsible father.

Henry arranged the funeral with his mother, entertained relatives and friends who came to mourn, appeased the tenants in the town, and negotiated with creditors who once again heard the wind.He looked calm and stable, without the urge to take a leap towards the future, nor did he have the resentment and dissatisfaction caused by prematurely accepting a dilapidated and debt-ridden manor.On the contrary, Rose, the eldest daughter of the earl who was one year older than him, seemed to have collapsed. She was immersed in the pain of losing her father all day long. She desperately needed to vent, but she dared not challenge her mother's authority. He could only quarrel with Henry hysterically.

This made William feel extremely distressed, but there was nothing he could do.Because now all this made him realize more clearly than ever that Henry is a responsible man, not a woman who needs his help and care. He can assist him, but cannot interfere with him.But all this did not alienate the relationship between the two, but made William feel more and more intoxicated in this love and unable to extricate himself.Every side Henry showed, whether it was weak and slender, or strong and mature, made him feel more sinking.

The Bookett family began a year-long mourning. The entire castle was shrouded in black, and Henry became more and more haggard and thin in the black package. No contribution has been made, and death can bring great shock.William was very distressed, and there was no way to stay in Chatsworth alone with peace of mind.So he began to travel frequently between the two places.

Edith regards others by herself, and the sisterhood between her and her younger sister Ruth is rare and close, so she regards it as a deep brotherhood, and she is happy to see her son take care of the Bucket family.But the Duchess Jane saw something different, after all, it was hard to hide this kind of thing from her bedside person.Especially since the heir was born, William has never touched his wife again, and every time he comes to her room, he just pretends.

So the next time the Duke came to her room to rest on a routine basis, she couldn't help swearing: "Stay away from me, you freak!"

William paused, then continued to adjust his pajamas, and said casually, "What do you want to say?"

"It's exciting, isn't it? Chicken. Rape. My 14-year-old brother." Jane sat up from the bed with a sneer, "You are so disgusting!"

William didn't speak, stood up and walked slowly to the bed, looking down at his wife.

"What, do you want to hit me? Don't forget, my father is the Duke of Somerset!"

"No, beating a woman is not something that upper-class people should do." William said indifferently, "I'm just wondering where you got the courage to accuse me."

"What do you mean?"

"Charles Olsen." William said the name slowly, with a cruel smile on the corner of his mouth, "Your lover, do you think I don't know? Do you want me to continue? Olivia Olsen, Your lovely eldest daughter, granddaughter of the Duke of Somerset, eldest daughter of your lover. How old is she? I think she is four."

Jane's face was already as pale as a whitewashed wall, and her whole face was blue as if she was about to suffocate.

"You... What nonsense are you talking about?" She was dying.

William slowly lowered his body, grabbed her by the neck, pushed her down on the bed, and growled in a low voice: "Do you think I'm a fool? You weren't a virgin when you married me! You thought I wasn't a virgin! Did you know that you were with that Olsen when you were 15? Do you think I don't know that the rush back to your father's house last fall was for an abortion? Stupid woman, you really think you can keep it a secret How could I have made a slut the Duchess of Prestbury if it weren't for the fact that you are the eldest daughter of the Duke of Somerset!"

Jane broke free from his grasp, and crawled to the other side of the bed in a panic, almost rolling to the ground.She stood up while supporting the pillar of the big bed with trembling, and looked at William in fear.

"I thought you were a smart woman, but now it seems that I was wrong." William gave her a disgusted look, and straightened his somewhat messy collar, "Perhaps, I should change to a smarter wife. Oh, of course, I don't have to. The Duke of Prestbury was cheated by his profligate wife for many years. He filed for divorce in a broken heart. You gave me a good excuse, and I should thank you very much."

"No..." Jane said tremblingly, "you can't...you can't do this...divorce is not allowed..."

"Of course I can, if I want to, a marriage based on deceit that God would not even bless, you are unfaithful to our marriage, I could have left you even 500 years ago. Oh yes Now, speaking of it, I still don't know if James is my child or not!"

"God, of course he's your child, you look exactly alike!" screamed Jane. "You're a monster! Are you faithful to our marriage? Look who you're messing with? Your watch Brother! Earl of Richardmond! You are bloody homosexuals, and you will go to hell when you die!"

"What about the evidence?" William stretched out his hand, pulled Jane's hair and dragged her over, "What about the evidence? If there is no evidence, then you are pregnant out of wedlock, raised a lover secretly, and even slandered your husband and an earl in anger. I can get your father to roll off from where he is now! I can also throw that Olsen in prison and let him dig coal in the mine for the rest of his life!"

"No...no..." Jane's eyes widened, she trembled like a twitch, holding her head, trying to save her hair from William's hands.

William let go of her, took a few steps back, and leaned against the dressing table, watching Jane lying on the bed, slowly regaining her composure, and finally sobbing softly as if recovering.

"I'm sorry. I was so rough." He said flatly, "I apologize to you. However, I don't want to hear any more bad words. If he is fine, then you can continue to be your Duchess, Continue to live your luxurious life, and I don't care how you fall in love with your childhood sweetheart in private, as long as you don't make an illegitimate child or discredit Wyatt. It's very simple, do you understand?"

After a long time, the woman on the bed gave a muffled response.

"It seems that we have reached a consensus." William rubbed his fingers a little irritably, he wanted to smoke a cigarette now, "Then I'm leaving, you can take a good rest."

He quickly left the room, returned to his own room, and smoked for half an hour before calming down, but his heart was even more empty.Only two days after returning to Chatsworth, he could hardly control his longing.

The one-year black mourning period is finally over, and Acton's debts have finally reached the point where they have to be settled.Henry got a set of technologies from nowhere, and planned to sell them to some steel tycoons through William. These technologies were not trivial and could solve most of the debt problems.

But Ruth did not dare to fully trust her son. She had other plans, contacted Edith, and decided to form an in-law rich enough to solve Acton's debt problem.

The two old ladies enthusiastically began to plan a large party for more than a month, screening single men and women to come to Chatsworth as guests.William was extremely in favor of this idea, and he could be inseparable from Henry for more than a month with good reasons, which he naturally wished for.Moreover, you must know that this is his castle, and he can control every corner here. As long as Henry can be persuaded, it is not impossible for the relationship between the two to go further.
