[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes

Chapter 40 You can't get out of bed

Jack didn't attend the nobles' dinner with Carl, and Carl was relieved because of this. Jack was able to escape unscathed on the Titanic before, thanks to the reminders and support from Mrs. Brown and Miss Rose.This is a completely different situation on the Carpathia. The group of nobles who escaped just lost countless money. The last person they want to see is probably Mrs. Brown and Miss Rose.

Mrs. Brown's family has a gold mine with a stable mining volume, and as we all know, she is not a shareholder of White Star Company. To put it bluntly, Mrs. Brown has nothing to lose except for being frightened.As for Miss Rose, I can only say with great regret that everyone invariably remembered the reason why Miss Rose and Carl ended their engagement before the shipwreck--when everyone is in a bad mood, they like to blame others as a bad omen.

As expected, the dinner was full of gloomy clouds and mist. Karl felt ironic when he saw the group of nobles who had lost a lot of their belongings just puffed up their chests and smiled.The person who makes Karl feel ironic the most is probably Mr. Guggenheim. Karl is probably the one who knows the most about how much property he has left. If Mr. Guggenheim continues to embrace his beautiful mistress Hu Tianhaidi like this, then no In two years, the last of his possessions will be thrown into the bottomless pit.

"Ah, Carl, why didn't Mr. Dawson attend with you?" Mr. Arshid still regarded Jack as a new nobleman, and he asked casually when he found that Jack was not around Carl.

Mrs. DeWitt immediately let out a "hum" through her nasal cavity, but Karl pretended not to hear it. In terms of face, he was much thicker than Mrs. DeWitt.Carl swallowed the fish in his mouth with a natural attitude: "Jack is creating in the room. He usually has a lot of hobbies, and he is always so busy that he forgets about his business."

Mr. Arshid took it for granted. Besides being the richest businessman himself, he was also an outstanding inventor and writer.Mr. Yashide fully supported Jack's "doing nothing." He nodded and smiled in agreement: "That's good. You young people have no hobbies other than making money. I have never liked you."

Karl smiled helplessly: "Apart from making money, I only like riding horses, but I really can't do it on the boat."

Mr. Yashide hugged the bulging waist of his young wife, and said triumphantly: "Carl, I said you should attend one more ball, don't always rush to the country for the comfort of horse racing, look at my Madeleine , how wonderful she is."

Mrs. Arshid smiled shyly and knocked off her husband's palm touching her belly. Karl raised his glass to toast Mr. Arshid. Drink it all down, there is no man who will not be happy for his old age. The little life in Madeleine's stomach is the best proof of Mr. Yashide's youth.

The dinner was over under the compliments of many nobles big and small who forced their smiles on their faces, and Karl went back to his room to rest in satisfaction.Carl was sitting waiting and flipping through a book. After changing into comfortable home clothes, Carl took the initiative to go around behind Jack.Carl accidentally discovered that this is an economics book.

"Are you interested in this?" Carl asked in surprise, Jack threw the book to Carl, and he relaxed and stretched.

"No, I'm not interested in this, but you only have similar books on your bookshelf, and it's okay to take them out and read them occasionally." Jack saw Carl's surprised eyes after speaking, and he smiled at Carl and said: "Don't you believe it?"

"It's really unbelievable. I believe you have received education before, but these are all professional books, and many vocabulary in them are very uncommon." Carl said and put the book back on the shelf. When he turned around, he found that Jack was lying on the bed. bed.

Jack looked at Carl lazily on the pillow, with a faint smile on his lips, so Carl guessed that he was not angry.Jack pointed to the long row of books and said, "I have worked everywhere, and I have done bookkeeping and other jobs, but this kind of work is hard to find."

"Jack, you are very talented." Carl was also lying on the bed, and he pulled the boy into his arms.

"Of course, otherwise, how could I support myself from the age of 15 to the present." Jack arched his body a little proudly, but his eyes became more and more difficult to open, until finally even his breathing became soft and long.

Carl smiled silently seeing Jack like this, he got up gently and turned off the light, and then lay back beside Jack again.From this day on, Carl set aside one morning every day to deal with his own property, and set aside the whole afternoon and evening to explain some simple economics and financial management professional content to Jack in a more vivid and interesting way.

Karl has discovered that Jack is more talented in management during his teaching. It is amazing to say that Jack is full of personal understanding of management as if he was born with it, and he can miraculously infer other things.It seems that he has seen Carl's intentions, and Jack has been studying very seriously these days.

Two days later, the Carpathia finally docked. She docked at the port of New York and delivered all the passengers on the Titanic safely, and then quickly returned to her original route.All Carl's property is left is a cowhide box carried by the housekeeper Lai Fujie. Of course, the most valuable materials and seals are safe.

A sailor at the port checks in the many wealthy passengers and congratulates them on surviving the shipwreck.When registering, the two girls brought by Karl left the address where they left with Karl, and reminded the registrar that if any parents came to ask them to go to Karl’s private house to claim their children, and hoped that the registrar emphasized that the two girls would be subject to good care.The Hawley family's car took Carl and the three of them to the castle-like mansion of Hawley's family. Carl turned his head and looked at Jack, who hadn't thought about the difficult future, and sighed helplessly. residential.

"Gibran, go to Manhattan NO.19, my private house at night."

The driver turned the car around according to Carl's instructions, but Carl looked at the expression on Jack's face with worried eyes. The boy seemed to suddenly realize that, fortunately, there was no haze.Carl stretched out his hand to hold Jack's palm. The skin of the boy's palm is not delicate. Just like Jack himself said, he had done a lot of physical work before. Jack held Carl's palm with his backhand and intertwined with Carl's fingers. Carl was relieved. smile.

Truly the boy he chose.

Carl walked into the master bedroom as he remembered, and immediately ordered Lai Fujie to ask the maid to tidy up the master bedroom next door, tearing off all the lace that was prepared for Miss Rose and replacing it with clean and refreshing decorations .Jack sat on the big bed in the male master bedroom and watched Carl laugh unconscionably because of his busy and battered appearance.

Carl showed a dangerous smile. He sent all the servants out of his room, directly pressed Jack into the bed sheet and kissed him forcefully: "Be honest, or you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow!"

Carl threatened with a ferocious look, Jack didn't understand Carl's seriousness at all, he just laughed and dodged Carl scratching his armpit fingers.
