Matriarch of the Hockleys

"It's just an afternoon tea?" Doris would not be fooled easily, and her intuition told her that the relationship between her friend and that Mr. Hockley must be more than just ordinary friends.

"Honey, don't lie!" Doris raised her eyebrows, "Mr. Hockley doesn't seem like a pleasing gentleman. If he is not interested in you, why would he hire someone he hasn't met a few times?" Have afternoon tea with the young lady next time?" Doris believed that Mr. Hockley was plotting against her friend.

"You think too much, Doris, we are just ordinary friends!" Andrea tried to explain to her friend who was immersed in her own world.She was really just ordinary friends with Mr. Hockley, although the ordinary friend seemed to want to pursue herself.

"Really? But that gentleman's background and family are a good match for you! It's just that he's a bit older, he's older than your second brother, Mr. Bruce." Doris murmured in her heart, Andrea Ya, this little cabbage, don't be pushed away so early.

"Doris, Doris!" Andrea interrupted Doris's imagination, "The sun is getting bigger, let's go back! Don't burn your skin."

"God! Why is the sun so big, let's go!" Doris looked up, the dazzling sun made her dizzy for a moment, and she hurriedly pulled Andrea off the deck.

"You didn't say it earlier, my face is a little hot." Doris said with some dissatisfaction as she touched her hot cheek.

"Who made some people gossip all the time, and didn't even notice that the sun got bigger!" Andrea said helplessly, spreading her hands. "snort!"

"Ms. Andrea, good morning!" Carl found Andrea standing with his girlfriend not far from the restaurant.He stepped forward quickly, "Miss William, good morning!" Only then did Carl recognize Doris.

"Good morning, Mr. Hockley." Andrea replied with a smile.

"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first. Goodbye, Mr. Hockley." Doris nodded to Carl.When she left, she turned her head and looked at Andrea, and blinked ambiguously.

Andrea, who saw her friend's small actions, was a little depressed. Why didn't she believe what she said?She was nothing to Mr. Hockley!Andrea yelled in her heart a little frantically.

"Miss Andrea?" Carl looked at Andrea, whose face was changing all the time, suspiciously. "Huh? What's the matter? Mr. Hockley." Andrea, who had been in a daze, finally came to her senses.

"Tonight at eight o'clock, the viewing room will be open. I have reserved two seats, but I still lack a female companion." "Would you like to go to the movies with me? Andrea." Carl didn't Smiling thoughtfully, he extended an invitation to Andrea.

"Eight o'clock?" "It's an honor." Andrea agreed after thinking about it for a while.

"Then I'll wait for you at your door then?" Carl said to Andrea with a happy face.

"Well, don't bother, you can just wait for me at the door of the viewing room." Andrea didn't want to be gossiped by Doris again. "Anything else?"

"No, then I will wait for you at the door at [-]:[-] tonight." Carl said in a magnetic voice.

"En." Andrea nodded with a smile. "I'll go first, see you in the evening." "See you in the evening."

Andrea, who said goodbye to Carl, had just returned to her room when she received a note from Doris. 'Honey, don't forget their chocolate! 'Andrea was a little upset, she thought about it and called the maid. "Lisa, go and get ten bars of dark chocolate for Miss William. By the way, bring her an oriental word—'remember bitterness and think sweetness'."

"Yes, Miss." Lisa found an empty box and packed chocolates and left the room.

He even snatched sweets from me!Andrea took a bite of the chocolate with an angry face, her pretentious fierce expression looked a little cute.

At this time, Jack was very nervous. He was scurrying in the corridor of the first-class cabin in an ill-fitting coat.Where is it?Jack's rapid breathing revealed his haste and nervousness.Which side is Ruth's room on?Jack was scurrying around like a headless fly.Found it! Jack smiled excitedly, and he hurriedly knocked on the door. "Knock-knock...knock-knock."

Jack stroked his hair, straightened his collar, and stood nervously at the door. "Jack!? Why are you here?" Ruth whispered in surprise, "Come in!" She turned sideways to let Jack into the room, and deliberately poked her head to both sides of the corridor.

Jack saw Ruth's luxuriously decorated bedroom, and for the first time he clearly realized how far away he was from Ruth.

"What's the matter? Jack." When Ruth saw Jack, most of the uneasiness in her heart disappeared.

"I'm worried about you, so I came here to see you. Are you okay?" Jack asked worriedly, remembering what happened in the morning.After all, Mrs. Cabot's face was very ugly when she left.

"Well. I'm fine." Looking at the silent Ruth, Jack was very worried.Because since I met Ruth, she has been warm and lively.At this time, she was like an old man who was dying, very unreal.

"Jack, I," Ruth was interrupted by Jack before she could say anything, "can I draw a picture for you?" "As a parting gift from me, can I?"

Somehow, Ruth hesitated for a moment. "Of course." "This is a painting I drew for others. You can choose to imitate the model, or you can do as you like." Jack handed the drawing book in his arms to Ruth. "I didn't bring any tools, do you have any here?"

Ruth took the drawing book, felt the residual warmth on the drawing book with her fingertips, her face flushed with a 'shua'. "Yes, I'll get it for you."

"You draw really well." Ruth smiled and flipped through Jack's paintings. "Ah!" She suddenly let out a voice of surprise, it turned out to be a painting of a nude woman.Ruth was shocked on the spot. Nude paintings have always been rejected and shamed by people. Although she thought it was a kind of art, she never thought that Jack had painted nude paintings, and there were more than one.

Jack shared Ruth's drawing book with an embarrassed face, "This is a regular model, just an artistic creation, you understand." Jack remembered some paintings in his drawing book that might not be accepted, and he was a little nervous explained.

Relieved, Ruth quickly concealed the shock in her eyes. "Well, I can understand, art creation!" Jack didn't expect Ruth to accept the painting of nude women so quickly, and his uneasy heart finally returned to calm.He began to introduce the characters and backgrounds in each of his paintings to Ruth in detail.

After he finished introducing the protagonist of the nude painting—a widow of a resolute businessman, Ruth suddenly asked, "Is she in good shape?"

"What!?" Jack's face turned red, startled by Ruth's sudden question.

"I said, in your eyes, doesn't she have a good figure?" Ruth repeated. "I haven't paid attention to this, so I don't know much about it." Jack stammered.

"Really? How about my figure?" "I, I don't know, but you will always be the most beautiful in my eyes." Jack said with a blushing face.

"I want to draw this one." Jack looked along Ruth's hand, and he was surprised to find that Ruth had chosen a picture of a nude woman sitting at a table. "Here, Ruth, are you sure?" Jack said incredulously. He always knew that Ruth liked art very much and had a heart yearning for freedom.But he still didn't expect that Ruth's ability to accept was so good.

"This is the one, can I sit by the dresser?" "Of course, are you sure?" Jack asked again.

"Of course." "Then I'll go and set up the drawing board first." Jack touched his nose shyly, and organized his tools with his back to Ruth.

"Okay." Hearing this, Jack turned around, and he froze instantly.Ruth's blond hair was coiled up high, and her snow-white skin seemed to glow white under the light. Her graceful figure was amazing, and she must be God's most satisfying work.Jack, who was stunned, quickly came back to his senses, "Ruth, you are leaning on the dresser, yes, your right leg is on your left leg, yes, that's it. Wait a minute, what seems to be missing?"

When it comes to paintings, Jack is in a world of his own.He walked back and forth in the room a little restlessly, and suddenly his eyes were attracted by the flowers on the table.This is it!Jack hurried to the table, he picked out the most beautiful rose, and carefully picked off the thorns on the branch.

"Ruth, bite it." Jack handed the flower to Ruth, and Jack was fascinated by the beauty in front of him, it was so beautiful. "Jack?" Ruth felt a little flustered under Jack's fiery eyes, her face was flushed, Ruyu's skin was slightly flushed, and the whole room was filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.

Jack woke up quickly, his bright eyes didn't show a trace of presumptuousness, he glanced at Ruth from time to time, then lowered his head and sketched on the drawing board.

Men at work are always the sexiest, Ruth slowly let go of her shyness.She looked at Jack's handsome face with melancholy eyes, and kept sketching Jack's facial features in her heart.

Time passed little by little, and Jack quickly completed the painting.He signed and dated the lower right corner of the paper, 'To the fair Miss Ruth'. "Okay, what do you think?" Jack took the drawing paper off the drawing board and handed it to Ruth.

"The painting is very good." Ruth was not stingy with her compliments. Jack glanced at Ruth's naked body exposed in politeness, and picked up a thin blanket from the bed and draped it over Ruth's body. "Put on your clothes first! It's a bit cold, don't freeze."
