[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes

Carl took the knife and fork from Jack's hand as if nothing had happened, and helped him take over the laborious cutting work. He lowered his eyes and looked at the bacon in the plate and said flatly: "Miss Bucket is very nice, I remember I just met I discussed this with you when you were a child—she was educated, beautiful, and unique. I met her in the Irish countryside, and it was logical that I had money and she had beauty, but Miss Bucket had With such a mother, coupled with her too avant-garde personality... After she offended my business partner again and again, her mother is still pressing me to pay off the debts of the Bucket family, so I feel that the marriage contract is a burden. "

Jack swallowed the meat in his mouth curiously, and asked unsteadily, "Isn't Rose very rich? Even if I break off the engagement with you, it won't be a hard life."

Carl leaned close to Jack's cheek, and he licked the sauce from the corner of the boy's mouth into his mouth: "You don't think that Miss Bucket's family background is enough to afford the daily jewelry, jewelry, clothing, paintings, and communication between the mother and daughter. money?"

Jack's eyes became very dazed, and the way he looked at Carl clearly showed that he really didn't know anything about it: "It's just life, don't they still wear new clothes every day?"

Carl leaned on the sofa and laughed loudly: "Of course, of course! How can women in the upper class want to wear the same dress and jewelry when they attend the banquet? This is their greatest shame! On the Titan When I was on the Nickelodeon, I carried twelve boxes of luggage, only two boxes belonged to me and Lai Fujie with clothes and contracts, and the rest... oh, I think you must understand, hahaha."

"A whole ten boxes of clothes? My God! This is too exaggerated, I can't wear all these clothes." Jack's voice floated when he spoke, and Carl interrupted him with a smile.

"No, of course there are not only clothes in the ten boxes, but also shoes, hats, jewelry, and even some small game items that ladies like to play. They also carry them with them. By the way, I haven't finished explaining, the deceased Bookett Mr.—Rose's father—he owed a large amount of gambling debts during his lifetime, enough to overthrow the name Bucket. Mrs. Bucket hastily forced Miss Rose to accept my marriage proposal in order to fill the debt and Interest. In fact, if the Bookett family does not sell their ancestral property, they will almost not be able to pay the interest.” Carl said, reaching out to wrap his arms around Jack’s neck, pulling the boy to his mouth, and gently touching Jack’s cheek Lips followed with a sigh.

"Jack, I know that you and Miss Buckett are very compatible, but for me to stay away from her? I don't want to get entangled with the Bucket family anymore. You must see Mrs. DeWitt's anxious hope now. Got a reason to remarry Miss Rose as my wife. Of course, I met you and then abandoned Miss Rose, that's a given—that's my reason."

Carl's words really dissuaded Jack from going to see Miss Rose again, even though she also admired his paintings, but unfortunately, Jack remembered the trigger that Miss Rose and Carl broke off their engagement - nude paintings.Jack couldn't help but stare into Carl's eyes when he felt guilty and painful for Miss Rose in his heart, and he asked word by word: "Carl, you said you admired my works, are you cheating me? I I saw that your attitude towards Miss Rose was extremely rude and arrogant."

Carl found that Jack had finished eating for a long time. After confirming that he had no intention of continuing to eat, Carl cleaned up the tabletop of the dining car and carried the telegraph to the coffee table.Afterwards, Carl sat in front of Jack, and he put his forehead on Jack's shoulder and said in a relaxed tone: "Jack, these are two completely different things for me. I appreciate your work from an artistic point of view. Judgmental, but as a man of renown, I can't stand my fiancée exposing her body to another man and having him record her naked - Miss Rose was not representing She is alone, and she still represents the face of the Hawley family. However, I admit that I shamelessly used this matter as an opportunity to dissolve the engagement."

Jack put his arms around Carl's waist so that he could press his body more comfortably. He teased Carl: "What if, as a painter, I want to paint your naked body in the future?"

Carl burst out laughing. He turned over and lay beside Jack looking at the ceiling of the room and said, "Dear Jack, I don't think you have the ability to see me naked."

"Why is it impossible? We are so close." Jack said and moved his body to hold Carl down. Carl opened his arms and let Jack control his movements.

"Do you remember the process?"

A question from Carl stopped Jack. He turned back on the bed and observed Carl's sly expression and announced regretfully: "I really can't remember, but there must be many opportunities in the future."

The corners of Carl's mouth and eyebrows were raised high, and he said briskly, "I'll wait and see. But, dear Jack, please promise me—you will never appear naked in other people's paintings for the rest of your life."

Carl's words made Jack stunned, and he then nodded to accept Carl's request: "Okay, I promise to God."

Carl stretched out his hand to cover Jack's eyes, and whispered into Jack's ear, "Sleep, my boy, you should have a good rest, and I'll wake you up at dinner time."

Jack didn't resist Karl's request. He closed his eyes obediently. After the serious illness, Jack's body has indeed deteriorated a lot. He needs to rest for a long time to fully recover.Carl closed his eyes and heard the sound of even breathing from the boy beside him, and immediately left the bed. Without hesitation, he contacted Lucas, his general manager in New York, by telegraph, and told him to start spreading the message about Messi now. The news that Mr. Nathan Strauss, the owner of the department store, had passed away in the shipwreck-thanks to his ability to divert the topic, otherwise Carl really couldn't explain the two girls.

Lucas sat in the office and looked at this telegram, only feeling inexplicable.Macy's is the largest department store in the United States. Its system is very perfect and its service attitude is attractive enough. Lucas really can't understand what benefits can be obtained by attacking such a famous department store, but this does not prevent Lu Cass did as Carl asked.

Carl then sent a telegram to his father. The content was very simple. He wanted to buy a machinery factory and hoped that his father could provide money to support him in buying a large amount of land and ranch in the west.Mr. Henry, who was in Italy, looked at the telegram forwarded by his secretary from New York—the endless telegram sent by his son—with strange eyes for a long time.

Since his wife passed away, there has been almost no communication between their father and son.Mr. Henry recalled when his son last contacted him, maybe eight years ago, when his wife had just passed away. Mr. Henry chose a very indulgent gesture to forget the grief of his wife's death with women and spirits, and they Father and son parted ways after a heated argument.

Mr. Henry smiled sarcastically. It really was too long since we hadn't contacted each other. Otherwise, why would the son think that he would be in New York without knowing that his father had already gone to Italy to recuperate his aging body?It's just that Karl suddenly contacted him because of money, this is too unlike Karl's style.

Mr. Henry recalled when Carl roared "I can create a world without you!" when Carl left home, showing his father's unique proud smile-his son should be so arrogant.So, what surprises will his son, who has always been his pride, bring him eight years later?

Mr. Henry thought about turning around and ordering the servant: "When they arrive in New York, contact the butler Lai Fujie and ask him to tell me about Karl's latest behavior."

"Yes, sir." The servant obediently withdrew. At this time, Karl hadn't thought that an Infernal Affairs would happen beside him.
