Southern Rose [Gone with the Wind]

The maid looked at him in surprise.

The newborn was very handsome, but at first glance he was dressed as a servant. The owner was sitting in a carriage by the side of the road. The door of the carriage was open, and one could vaguely see the master's elegant woolen trousers and a pair of knees. soft hands.

The maids all know where to look for a person's identity: teeth, hands.

A well-born and well-to-do man has straight white teeth and a pair of white and soft hands that have never done rough work.

The owner in the carriage was impatient and knocked on the carriage with his cane.

The maid hurriedly replied: "This is the Tarent House, what is your name?"

"Go and tell your mistress that Mr. Wolfe wants to see her."

Josephine was surprised, but expected: a rich and capable man would certainly achieve his goal.

"Thomas." She made her way downstairs.

Thomas frowned at her, his expression was a little annoyed at first, but soon turned into joy, "Look, you haven't changed at all!"

She smiled, "It's just that I haven't seen you for more than a year, what can I become?"

"Become a woman who is resentful, vicious and evil because of her widowhood." He was not polite.

"Don't say that, you're just upset that I sold you for a good price."

"Is it a 'good price'? You stupid woman!" He stood up gracefully and walked in front of her, "I can give you much more than the Duke can give you!"

"Really? What's the price?"

"The price?" He said in surprise: "Is it still a bad thing to be Mrs. Wolfe?"

She smiled again, "Don't talk about it. Come on, tell me how you escaped. The Duke was furious, and went to my father again, and sent your sister to find you in Paris."

He snorted contemptuously, "He only uses his title to oppress others, but in fact, he is already a stinky old man half buried in the ground!"

"He is your father, you should treat him better."

He snorted, "You know what nobles are like, especially big nobles like him."

"Aren't you a 'big nobleman'?"

"I am, but I'm not like him."

"What kind?"

He said impatiently: "Don't talk about this. Come on, let me tell you how I got here this year. I knew I couldn't go from France or England, so I went to Italy, then to Africa, from Africa went to India, and from India to the Far East."

"My God! You've been to a lot of places!" Josephine said enthusiastically. "How about the Far East? I heard it's full of silk, gold, precious stones, and—beauties."

"Silk, indeed, is extremely abundant; gold, some; precious stones, not many." He said dryly.

"Don't do that."

He smiled indifferently, "How are you doing in a place like Boston? It's too cold here, even colder than Paris." It's already very cold in Boston at the end of October. Snow.

"It's not bad. I'm planning to go to Europe next spring, maybe this time to Spain, the weather in Spain is very good. Or Italy, Greece. Where are you from?"

"Alaska." He looked around and said with disgust, "I bought a house in New York. You and your children will come with me to live in New York."

"I want to live in New York for a while, but not with you. You go, I have an appointment, and he will come over later."

"Him?" Thomas frowned, "What kind of man are you going to receive?"

"Another Talent."

Thomas didn't understand, "Well, I won't let you explain who I am in front of the Tarent family. Come here," he hugged her and kissed her face, "Although I don't understand you Thinking about something, but I think I can give you everything you want. Please consider my request carefully, I am staying at the Omni Park Hotel, you can send someone to deliver the letter to the hotel."

He came like a whirlwind, and left like a whirlwind.The advantage of this person is that his posture is very chic, his actions are decisive, he is not sticky, and he is not soft-handed.

Josephine sat on Shaofa in the living room, thinking that this person was really difficult to dismiss.

This era is very unfriendly to women. To be precise, women in any era live cautiously. There is no need for her to get married again, but if she does not get married, she cannot stay in Boston.

The majority of Boston residents are Puritans, and the atmosphere in the greater Boston area is very conservative. If she lives with someone without getting married, her reputation will be ruined in a short time.She may not care about her reputation, but the children cannot. Victor will return to France in the future, but Cynthia will most likely grow up in Boston. No matter how rich a girl is, it is difficult to find a good match without a "good mother" s husband.

Children prevent her from enjoying life.

She touched her face.

Beauty can give her many things that ordinary women can't get, but in general, youth is fleeting, so you should enjoy life as much as possible while you are young.

She has no shortage of money.

She does not lack the love of others.

The only thing missing is a heart that can truly adapt to this era.

Ryan asked jealously: "Who is that Mr. Wolf who came today? Is it your lover? Why have I never heard of it?"

"There are many people you haven't heard of, so don't make such a jealous expression, it doesn't look like you." Josephine said lightly, "He is someone I met in Paris before, and he came to the United States to do business. "

She said it too lightly, and Ryan was very suspicious, "Really? You swear that he is not your old lover?" He emphasized the tone of the two words "old lover".

"That has nothing to do with you, you have no right to question me." Josephine said displeased.

Men, it's always like this, the jealousy is too strong, and they are always quick to regard women as "private property".

Ryan soon realized that what he said was wrong, "I'm not questioning you, but..." He lowered his eyes, and the fork in his hand randomly forked the food on the dinner plate, "I'm worried that you don't like me anymore. I'm going to New York tomorrow, where would you like to live? I know you bought land near the park, but the park hasn't been built yet, and your house hasn't been built yet."

He thought for a while, "Well, we can live in a hotel for the first half of the year. I will supervise your house and let the workers build the house as soon as possible. What do you think?"

"I think it's good."

"Then let's go to New York together tomorrow." He showed a pleading look.

"Not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow. You have to leave time for the maids to pack up."

He was a little happier, "I'll send someone to New York to book a hotel right away."

Then they didn't mention Wolf again.

Ryan came over every night to have dinner with mother and son every night, and Victor quickly realized that Mr. Tarent Jr. seemed likely to be his mother's next husband, and he was a little distressed by it.He is not very impressed with his stepfather's younger brother. He treats Stanley a little better. Stanley already regards him as a "man" and asks his opinion first, but Ryan is not like this. Ryan always thinks He is still a child.

He knew that he couldn't stop his mother from getting married again. Fortunately, he had no impression of his biological father at all, so no matter who became his mother's husband, he would not object too much.But he missed how Philip treated him back then. In his heart, Philip was "Mr. Talent".

People said Philip was a good man and a good husband, but he was too young to understand what they meant.In the past few years, he has gradually grown up, and he has a little understanding of what kind of character a man should have.Indeed, Philip looked perfect no matter what angle he looked at. He was a good son, brother, husband, stepfather, and father. He envied Cynthia for having such a good father.

But how did this kind of day disappear so quickly!

He kept these thoughts in his heart and never told his mother, but he once said a little to Stanley, saying that he missed Philip and that Philip would be a good father to him.well!Uncle Stanley was crying!

He felt sorry for his younger sister. Like him, her younger sister lost her father when she was too young. Well, Uncle Ryan liked Cynthia very much, and he would probably treat Cynthia as his own daughter. They were both Talents.Will Uncle Ryan be nice to Mother?It seemed that mother liked Uncle Ryan quite a bit.
