[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes

Abner looked at Carl's confident expression and frowned suspiciously. In the end, he didn't ask Carl where he got the news, but directly believed the possibility in Carl's words.Abner put away his plan, quickly added the content suggested by Carl to the side, and then left the office. Compared with Carl, a boss who only puts forward ideas and speaks his mind, he needs to turn feasibility into a plan every time Abner of the book feels that he is the hardest person.

Carl was not polite to his old classmates. He sat behind his desk and thoroughly sorted out the assets of the original owner of the body.Although all of these belong to Karl now, many things are unnecessary for him—knowing which industries will make money in the future does not mean that Karl will definitely make money if he has never participated in this industry and invested in it.

Carl is still on loan, he is not eligible to squander, every penny Karl must be sure that he can get multiple returns.Thinking of this, Carl felt a lot of heaviness in his heart, and the strength of the pen tip recording on the paper was also much stronger.An hour later, Carl breathed a sigh of relief. There are many "elegant" but unprofitable properties that he can definitely deal with, which can somewhat alleviate Karl's current difficult situation of cash flow.

In this unfamiliar era, it is a very happy thing to put a strange boy in my heart and worry about him while making plans for my own career. Jack gave Carl a sense of belonging and presence.Jack is Carl's most important concern in this world. At the beginning, Carl didn't take their relationship so seriously. He even considered happily taking advantage of it, and then ended the relationship with Jack. .

But this boy always surprises him. The surprise at the beginning has gradually turned into a soft feeling that envelops his heart. Even in the original time and space, Karl may not have expected the expensive "love" to come for a long time. Unexpectedly, 100 years ago, he I got precious feelings.

The more you pay attention, the less you can let the relationship between Jack and him be exposed now. This is not an enlightened society, and Carl's ability is not enough to protect Jack enough to ignore any blame.Although Jack is still ignorant of his own future and has no specific direction, the future he describes is growing towards the goal of being an "independent man".

Since Jack has become the only treasure in Carl's heart, he will never let Jack ruin his life and ideals because of him. Carl will not say "I love you, so I want to cut off your future in the name of you ".It was a love that was too selfish, and Carl even worried that one day after his despicable character made this decision, this relationship would become unrecognizable, and Jack would no longer be what he admired now.

What will Jack look like then?He may naively maintain his pursuit of art and immerse himself in painting, but it is more likely that Jack will slowly wear down his spirituality in this mansion and become nothing like other vulgar "lover" Different, looking forward to the arrival of the benefactor every day, and comparing the master's favor.But no matter which one is, it is not the future that Karl expects. He hopes that Jack can stand under the sun openly and stand upright to others without flinching.

"Hey, boy, you let me make a loss-making business." Carl covered his eyes and let out a deep sigh, which was not depressing but full of happiness.

Carl quickly sorted out the properties that needed to be sold, and left the office with these documents. There are almost enough things that need him to deal with today, and the rest can be taken home to deal with.Carl knocked on Abner's office door a few times, and then handed him all the documents: "Sell them all for me, it's worthless to me."

"Carl, are you sure? I remember that this horse farm was your favorite before, as well as the ranch in Australia. I said, dear old classmate, are you sure you really want to sell them all?"

Seeing Abner's incomprehensible eyes, Carl closed the office door tightly, and said in a low voice, "Let's get rid of it as soon as possible, there will be a fight between China and Mexico sooner or later, what good will happen to the horse farm next to Mexico, not to mention the dozens of horses It's a waste of money to raise a good horse, and I'm a poor man in debt now."

"What about the ranch in Australia? How much effort did you waste fighting for this piece of land, Carl, it's a pity to give up now."

Faced with Abner's persuasion, Carl could only spread his palms and express his powerlessness: "Britain has always controlled Australia, and my income on this land is not ideal. With the same investment, I transferred the pasture to the south and now there is no one there. I can definitely get a better return on the gathered land, and there are many imported labor resources in the local area, so I have to be tempted by the money saved.”

Considering the constitution passed in 1897, Australia had been part of the British colony since 12 years earlier, and Abner finally agreed with Carr.Who would look good to investors from other countries in their own colonies?Abner even suspected that Karl had suffered a lot in Australia before he knew it.

"Okay, old friend, I will get rid of all these things in the near future, but did your land purchase in the south go smoothly?" Abner blew on Carl's shoulder, and Carl sat down at Abner's desk , he pointed to the map of the United States hanging in the office and laughed.

"The land in Tennessee is very good. Geographically speaking, there are many plains and the Mississippi River flows through it. Of course, this is not the reason why I like Tennessee." Carl said and laughed, but Abner was even more confused water.

"the most important reason?"

"The scenery there is pretty good, meeting my standards." Carl laughed unceremoniously. The future Great Smoky Mountains National Park is in Tennessee.Abner's face was covered in black mist, and Carl waved his hands and left the company gracefully with the documents he had to deal with.

Abner, who was left behind as a hard-working pioneer, bit his back teeth and swear to God that he would definitely change jobs in the future!

When Carl got home, the time was still very late. It was not yet eleven o'clock at noon, and Jack was still asleep with his pillow in his arms.Carl looked at the boy and smiled very tenderly. He stretched out his hand and brushed Jack's slightly long blond hair aside, and carefully traced Jack's facial features with his fingers.

"Hmm~" The harassment from the outside woke Jack up from his deep sleep. He let out a series of dissatisfied hums from his nasal cavity. Carl let go of his hand and decided to let Jack go. Only he can understand the pain of not getting enough sleep. .Jack still woke up. He looked around with dull eyes, as if he must find the person who tormented him, but when Jack saw Carl opposite, his eyes became innocent...

Carl lowered his head and exchanged a kiss with Jack, and a soft sentence finally shook Jack awake: "Do you want to get up for lunch and then go to draw, or stay on the bed for a while? It's the first time to spend the night with a man, Definitely not feeling well."

Jack's innocent expression immediately turned fierce, and he stretched out his hand and punched Carl: "Did you try to kill me last night?"

"Oh, damn it..." Jack's waist obviously couldn't coordinate with his arms. After a night of ravages, his weak waist couldn't move his whole body, instead he fell straight down in the direction of punching.Carl stepped forward to hug Jack's body and put him back on the bed, directly holding Jack's body and turning him over.

Ten fingers rubbed his sore and limp waist vigorously, and Jack's complaints disappeared instantly. He hugged the pillow and let out a series of comfortable sighs. Carl lowered his head and bit Jack's earlobe, and said bluntly: "Don't If you say that, I'd really like to put you on the bed again."

"...You are so familiar with men, I must have done nothing to you that night, right?" Jack was silent for a while and finally asked, Carl didn't think about covering up this question for a long time, and whether he has experience or not is something that cannot be pretended. He also admitted it bluntly and generously - of course, Karl's explanation was very skillful.

"That night you were drunk and pressed my body, and expressed very strongly that you wanted something to happen, so I helped you with my hands. You can see my neck, you really have a passionate reaction."

"Treacherous and insidious businessman. So, you accept it now?"

"Yes, how can the person I serve not repay the debt? I also considerately calculated all the interest for you." Carl finished speaking and patted Jack's buttocks, "Okay, get up, you have to eat Go to lunch. I know you're not hurt, I've been very careful and cleaned you up right away."

Jack pulled Carl's palm, and he looked directly into Carl's eyes: "You never liked women, did you? Why are you engaged to Rose?"

Carl gave Jack an answer without a pause: "I had a crush on Miss Bucket."

The former Carl had a crush on Miss Rose, and Carl didn't intend to erase the existence of that relationship. Although the original Carl's methods of treating the woman he liked were too vulgar and rough, it was also a way of expressing feelings.It's just that the original Karl has completely disappeared. Karl doesn't want to take over his mess, and he finds himself a like-minded person.

"...Carl, if that's the case, all I can say is that you are going too far in trying to break off the engagement with Rose."

"Jack, I don't deny that I am a businessman with no noble personality. If Miss Bucket is alone, then I just need to tell her if I want to break off the engagement, but she has a mother who knows how to calculate." , I ended my marriage contract with Miss Bukett for no reason. Mrs. DeWitt will definitely throw all the huge debts of the Bukett family to me, claiming that it is compensation for my insulting her daughter's reputation-how can I suffer? What's more, if Ms. Rose herself is cautious in her words and deeds, she will not take the initiative to hand over the handle to me, so that I have the opportunity to humiliate her and end the relationship without any burden."

Carl explained, taking Jack's hand in his.Carl is very clear about the same thing, the effect of using different words is absolutely different: "Jack, I didn't intentionally frame Miss Bucket, I just got the result I wanted according to what she did. This point As far as I'm concerned, if I can't say I'm noble, at least I'm aboveboard."

Yes, Carl's actions can only be said to be excessive, but not wrong. He didn't intentionally cheat the Bucket mother and daughter-this is just in Jack's view, not the truth.Jack thought for a while, and he accepted Carl's statement. Before Jack could say anything, Carl had already held his hands and kissed Jack's lips: "Jack, I can assure you that in my lifetime, I will never allow you to Any woman with my last name."

No love story could be more touching than this. As a young man with a romantic nature, Jack immediately put Miss Rose's situation behind him and concentrated on exchanging breaths with Carl.There was a uniform knock on the door, and Carl finally let go of Jack's body and went to open the door. Jack's stiff body was able to move freely, although his movements were a little slow...

Jack rushed into the bathroom quickly, and Carl opened the door after making sure the bathroom door was closed tightly.The expression of the butler, Mr. Lai Fujie, was calm enough. Since Carl ordered him to let Jack live in the master bedroom, Lai Fujie understood Jack's identity here, and the four maids under him were also disciplined by Lai Fujie. They knew what was wrong. It should be said.

"Master, the master called last night to ask if you would go home for dinner. He asked about the news again just now."

"Okay, I'll go back tonight." Carl said calmly, and then he looked at the serious face of the old housekeeper and smiled, "Lai Fujie, my father has always paid your salary, right? From today, I Pay double wages for you, and get money out of my account, so you don’t have to ask my father for money anymore.”

"Yes, master, Lai Fujie will continue to work for the Hawley family. I don't know if the master has any special requirements after raising my salary."

Carl's smile was blocked by the butler's plain but meaningful words, and he almost couldn't breathe, he waved his hand helplessly: "Of course, Lai Fujie, I have always asked you a lot, protect Jack's life for me , pay attention to the painting materials, books and mood he needs, and most importantly, put less butter at dinner, it’s a bit too greasy.”

"Yes, master." The old butler bowed and left the room calmly, and reminded Carl before closing the door: "Lunch starts in 15 minutes, master, please show up on time with Mr. Dawson."

Carl finally admits that his old butler is invincible and that nothing can defeat him, not even the fact that his master has a same-sex partner.Jack came out of the bathroom wiping his hair. From the smile on his face, he knew that the boy had heard the entire conversation between Carl and Mr. Housekeeper. Perhaps in order to avenge the grievances suppressed yesterday, Jack teased Carl without hesitation.

"Dear Carl, it's time for you to go back to your room and change your clothes. Your husband will take you to lunch later."

Carl stared at Jack's smiling face, and he said jokingly, "Of course, Mr. Dawson, it's my biggest regret not being able to serve you tonight. I will make up for my loss in the afternoon."

"...No, I don't think there is any need. Old Mr. Hawley, I must miss you even more." Seeing Jack's bitter expression, Carl's depressed mood improved a lot.
