[Titanic] Where Your Heart Goes

Carl rubbed Jack's blond hair like he was treating a child, and he got into the car with a file bag and rushed home with a smile on his face. Mr. Henry in the old house seemed not in a hurry at all—this was different from Lai Fujie's description of him. It sounds very different, but if you are really not in a hurry, how can any father call his son for two days in a row asking to go home?

"Carl, it's great that you are back. Dad is not young, and he always hopes to enjoy a happy old age earlier. Should you give up the conflict with me and consider taking over the Pittsburgh Steel Company?" Mr. Henry said in this paragraph He spoke like a loving father who cared about his son, but Karl guessed that the old gentleman's thoughts were not so simple.

Carl hurriedly made an expression of rejoicing and self-restraint, and asked cautiously: "Father, but I just signed a loan agreement of [-] million US dollars with you, and I have already started to invest according to my own ideas. If I join Your company, I'm afraid I don't have enough time."

Mr. Henry smiled and put the cigar in his mouth aside. He proudly patted Carl on the shoulder and said, "Dear son, don't worry so much. I have already thought about it for you. Anyway, your property combined is less than five [-] million dollars, but we are biological father and son, I will not care about so much with you. You just need to merge those industries under your hands into the Pittsburgh Steel Company."

So, did he intend to completely control the money in his hands to control Karl's influence?Carl sneered in his heart, but the expression on his face was that of a stubborn child in the rebellious period. He glared at Mr. Henry angrily: "Father, it turns out that you still hold this kind of thinking, and you don't trust me at all. ability, I really feel pain for my previous thoughts. You don’t have to continue to convince me, I’d rather go bankrupt in six years than touch your steel company!”

Mr. Henry didn't expect his son, who was peaceful just now, to turn his face so quickly. He was dumbfounded by this, but more importantly, he was angry—ever since Mr. Henry knew that Carl had a relationship with a man, he had been holding back a sigh of relief. It’s just that as a father, he always thinks that “someone has taken over my son”, which gave Carl a lot of breathing time. Now, Carl’s ignorance finally made Mr. Henry feel that “the son has been taken away by someone else.” broken."

How should a bad son be educated?Of course, it is to teach him a lesson and let him know that the sky is high and the earth is thick!

"Carl! Pack up and go to work at the steel company tomorrow!"

"Never, father! Within a year, I will show you my ability, and you can't deny my chance to prove myself!" Carl roared angrily, hiding on the stairs with heavy steps, and rushed into the The door of his room slammed shut with a bang.

Standing downstairs, Mr. Henry was gasping for breath. He simply loved and hated the stubbornness of his son and his wife. Now he could only hope that the man his son raised would leave the house soon so that Lai Fujie could deliver the news to him in time. So that he can get rid of this man.

Karl's future must not be ruined by an unknown man!

Mr. Henry sat back on the sofa, and the maid immediately brought him delicious coffee.Mr. Henry stopped his movements after taking a sip. He actually prefers black tea, and Carl stopped drinking black tea after falling out with him. He seemed to be obsessed with coffee overnight. Bitter taste.

Carl, who has been drinking black tea at home these days, has actually forgiven him?Mr. Henry, who was still furious just now, was elated by his discovery. He felt that Carl, who had experienced the shipwreck, had really grown up. Maybe his son really needed time to prove his ability, not to hide the man he raised.

Oh, forget it, Henry~Mr. Henry persuaded himself with a smile, if Karl is fully mature, he will return to the upper class sooner or later and become a dignified gentleman-of course, getting married and having children is the only way for a gentleman.In this case, it doesn't seem so important for him to raise a man, it's just a plaything.

The pleasant smile on the corner of Mr. Henry's mouth turned into sarcasm, isn't it rare that he has seen it in the upper class?His son, who will own the largest steel company in the United States in the future, will have one or two playthings.Then, one year later, Carl, I will quietly wait for what surprises you can bring.

Mr. Henry returned to his room to do his work in such a happy mood.Carl, who just hid in the room pretending to be an angry youth, was covered in cold sweat, and now he was finally sure that his father knew about Jack's existence.It was not safe for Jack to live in his private house, but Carl couldn't find any safer place to hide Jack for a while, and every servant in that private house was unreliable.

Once Carl made any move to hide Jack, Carl worried that a phone call or letter would be sent to his father's desktop in the next second.Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Carl's mouth turned into a wry smile. How long has it been since he was so powerless?Since when did he have to say to himself, "It's better to be still than to move"?

Power and money can change everything, Carl murmured silently in his heart, he opened his eyes after taking a deep breath for a few minutes, and the hesitation just now turned into firmness.Since he couldn't be sure of Jack's safety anyway, he took the risk of letting Jack continue to live in a private house. After only one year, he would be able to complete his plan so that Mr. Henry could no longer interfere in his affairs—at least from now on. In terms of money, he can no longer be controlled at will.

Carl thought, the expression on his face turned helpless, if he could escape the present once, sooner or later he would have to have a showdown with Mr. Henry.After all, Mr. Henry is the biological father of Karl's body. He did not interfere with the candidates for Karl's marriage and secretly helped a lot in his son's original investment. Now he wants to repay Mr. Henry's fatherly heart in this way.Karl couldn't help feeling guilty. From a standpoint, he was indeed too ungrateful. He took the body of someone else's son, and he didn't honor his father for the original Karl.

"There is only one thing, except for the safety and loyalty to Jack, I will not fight against Mr. Henry anymore." Carl said to himself, this is already his bottom line.

Carl sighed. He always felt that his bottom line was also unacceptable to Mr. Henry. In this case, he can only deceive himself and others to push everything to the future.Carl picked up the pen and began to review the company's documents. Two hours later, there was a sore pain in his eyes, and Carl also ended his work.

Taking out a blank sheet of paper from his desk, Carl silently wrote the keywords of "Congress", "trial", "end of the month", and "collapse", and then continued to write agriculture, pasture, and industrial integration below. Words such as department store, express delivery, automobile, airplane, biology, chemistry, medicine, etc. have nothing to do with each other.

Carl's serious expression is more pious than the priest praying in the church. He knows that the words he wrote will be the foundation of his future development, and it is also his only chance to break through the current economic barriers. This is Karl's chance to keep making money.

Carl smiled and dialed the phone at his private house. After a few rings, it was not Jack's expected hearty voice, but the stereotyped British accent of the old butler: "Hi, this is Carl Hawley's home, this is Hawley Mr. Li's butler, what can I do for you?"

Lai Fujie's voice is really easy to break people's dreams, Carl thought to himself, he threw all his unrealistic associations behind him, he should have thought that a boy like Jack who has been living in poverty is useless For the phone, what else would he want to do to make a phone call before going to bed to have a romantic fantasy?

"...I'm Carl Raffles. Is Jack asleep?"

"Sir, Master Jack is currently continuing his unfinished painting yesterday in the master bedroom. I will urge him to rest on time at ten o'clock." Lai Fujie explained sternly, and Carl could not help but recall the memory of the original owner of the body, The old butler also urged him to maintain a good life and rest every day. Thinking of something, Carl laughed out loud.

"Lai Fujie, you are doing very well. But, I want to know Jack's mood and physical condition more, or, does he have time to come and talk to me on the phone?"

"Sir, Master Jack is recovering very well. The maid at home gave him a massage on his waist and legs after you left, but you must be more aware of painters' pursuit of art than I am." Carl knew the old housekeeper It wouldn't be so easy for him to talk directly to Jack, he could only sigh.

"Okay, Lai Fujie, take care of him for me, let him pay attention to his body, don't stay up late, staying up late is the enemy of health. Jack just fell ill a few days ago, and his body is still very weak now, and he can't stand the consumption ..."

Carl's eloquence was directly interrupted by the old housekeeper. His tone was very flat, but Carl knew that Lai Fujie was blaming himself: "Sir, your reaction is exactly the same as that of your wife after you were five years old with a high fever. And, sir, Please allow me to remind you that it was you who made the whole private house resound with Master Jack's cry last night."

Carl couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed because of his extremely thick skin. He pretended to clear his throat, and explained: "Let Jack have a good rest. Painting can't be done in a hurry. I will go home tomorrow."

"Yes, sir, I will let Master Jack take a bath in advance and wait for you to go home."

The profound content in Lai Fujie's words finally made Carl decide not to continue. His skin was indeed not as thick as the housekeeper who had served the Hawley family for two generations.Kaguan hung up the phone in a hurry, but the smile on his mouth could not be suppressed. Lai Fujie's change of address for him was enough to express his position. From "Master" to "Sir" can fully express Lai Fujie's position. With the ability of the housekeeper, Jack is safe as long as the New York police don't rush into his house directly.

"Lai Fujie, goodbye."

"Goodbye, sir."

Saying goodbye to the old housekeeper politely, Karl got up and walked into the bathroom. A hot bath before going to bed is an indispensable enjoyment in life. Only lying in the hot water can Karl carefully recall what he experienced during the day and evaluate his own health. Gains and losses and whether things are done well.

Although many people say that thinking too much before going to bed can lead to insomnia, Carl balks at this argument. If you can't sum up your work for the whole day in a peaceful moment, should you sigh in the early morning? Have you lost something?Sorting out the next day's work plan the night before is also an integral part of Karl's life, and he has always enjoyed the pleasure of thinking.

Karl never denies that he is a very controlling person. Most successful men have this shortcoming. He hates all "accidents" that exceed his expectations, even if those accidents will bring him more benefits.In order to fundamentally avoid accidents, Karl has always estimated all possibilities clearly and carefully arranged every escape route.Only by being fully prepared can he avoid crises again and again.

There is never a wrong way to be cautious.

Karl wiped off the water stains on his body and lay on the bed. He lay on his back with his eyes closed for a long time, and suddenly let out a sigh. He kept restraining his movements, but Karl knew very well that what he wanted to do was to reach out and hug another animal. A warm body—even when Jack wasn't with him.

Frustrated, Carl got up and got dressed. He hadn't had the urge to be a kid in love for years, but now he had to go to Jack, and he wanted to hug him so badly.There is no need for complicated love words, exquisite and expensive gifts, or fiery entanglements. As long as Carl hugs Jack's body, he can instantly satisfy the longing that fills his heart.

It was already very late at night, and the sound of Karl wearing leather shoes from the second floor through the living room and out of the old house was instantly amplified infinitely. He knew that Mr. Henry would definitely have endless associations about his leaving home tonight, but he Now I can't take care of so much.

No one has ever had such a dramatic start as Jack, and no one has ever rescued him from a manic mood, and no one has accompanied him through a life-and-death disaster. Carl knows that Jack will be his With the relationship over in this time and space, he now needs to be comforted by this young man.

And as long as Carl is still alive, he is willing to swear to God that there will be only happiness and peace in his life to protect Jack forever.Carl is willing to use all his abilities to build a fortress for Jack and himself, keeping out all dangers and tribulations. Of course, he will never let Jack know his efforts. As a man, Jack must also dislike it. be protected.

Loving someone doesn't require you to tell him everything you've done for him as if you were trying to settle accounts. What Karl wants is a relationship, not a winning business.Carl drove his car to his private house in Manhattan. Mr. Henry stood in front of the French window of the master bedroom and looked at his son who had left in the night, with a gloomy expression on his face.
