Matriarch of the Hockleys

[-]. The formal meeting of the hero and heroine

"Excuse me, what happened?" Karl, who was talking with the chief architect of the Titanic, Mr. Thomas Andrew, saw that his sweetheart seemed to be in trouble, and hurried forward to rescue Ruth.

"You are?" Andrea looked at the brown-haired young man in front of her with some doubts. Could it be the suitor of this impolite lady who came forward to "save the beauty"?

Carl was pleasantly surprised to find that she was the girl who caught a glimpse in the morning!

"I'm Carl Hockley, may I ask if my friend, Ms. Cabot, has caused you any trouble?" Carl hadn't realized that, in his subconscious mind, he already believed that Ruth must have provoked this unpleasant incident.

Although Ruth did not agree to his pursuit, he had solved many troubles for the Cabot family during this time.Ruth's words and deeds were also true, which caused him a lot of small but not small troubles.

"I'm Andrea Bruce, and this is my friend Doris William. We were chatting, but this Miss Cabot bumped into me suddenly. It was nothing at all, but Miss Cabot It's too rude. Is a 'sorry' without the slightest apology her sincerity?" Andrea looked at Carl with some dissatisfaction.

"My God! This is so rude. Ruth, you should apologize to Miss Bruce." Andrea Bruce?Could it be the daughter of Earl Bruce's family?Earl Bruce seems to have something to do with the British royal family, and the Hockley family's business is going to expand in the UK, so there should be no conflict with this lady.Carl's gaze darkened.

Ruth is really too reckless, the Cabot family has declined, and his pursuit of Ruth has caused disagreements with his father.If the family business is hindered again because of Ruth, the father may take back the power that was delegated to him.He will never allow this to happen.

Maybe it's because I feel wronged in my heart, or maybe it's because I think about the decline of the Cabot family that my mother said.Ruth finally lowered her head that was raised high, "I'm sorry, Miss Bruce. I apologize for shocking you with my recklessness. I hope you can forgive my recklessness." Ruth lowered her head, No one saw her dark eyes.

"Of course, Miss Cabot. But I hope you will stop being so reckless. It is really rude to rush aimlessly in a crowded restaurant." After Ruth formally apologized, Andrea still Generously forgave Ruth.

"Then I'll go first, Miss Bruce and Miss William." Ruth ignored Carl, said goodbye to Andrea and Doris, and walked straight out of the restaurant.

Carl looked at Andrea with apologetic eyes, hesitated for a while, and went to Ruth.

"Do you know that Miss Cabot?" Andrea frowned and asked Miss William. That Miss Rose gave her a bad impression, just like her name 'rose'.Miss Ruth was as beautiful as a rose, but her attitude was unbearable.

"Miss Ruth and I go to the same girls' school, but we have different majors. You know, I studied jewellery, and that savage Miss Ruth studied finance. She comes from the Cabot family, Her father is the famous 'Count Gambler'. It is said that her father left a huge debt after his death. Therefore, her mother, Mrs. Louvre, has always wanted to find a rich son-in-law to maintain their luxurious life."

Miss William obviously disdained what she called the Cabots.

"That Mr. Hockley is the future son-in-law chosen by Mrs. Ruf for her daughter? Miss Cabot doesn't seem to like that Mr. Hockley very much." I don't know what will happen next?That Miss Ruth is very rebellious at first glance, I believe the next journey will not be too boring.

"Doris, when do you think Miss Ruth will have a showdown with that Mr. Hockley?" Andrea covered her upturned mouth with a fan, and gave Miss William a mischievous look.

"Let's make a bet!" Miss William said confidently, "I bet Miss Ruth will completely dissociate herself from Mr. Hockley before arriving in the United States." (Miss William may be called Doris for short in the future. ∩_∩)O)

"Really? I think that at least during this journey, Miss Ruth will not completely distance herself from Mr. Hockley. After all, it seems that they went to America together, don't they?" Andrea didn't agree with Dolly. Silk's statement.

"It's a pity that Mr. Hockley, it seems that he at least behaved like a gentleman." Andrea shook her head pretending to be regretful.

"Did our Andrea fall in love with that Mr. Hockley at first sight?" Doris jokingly said with her eyes wide open.

"Oh! Doris, that gentleman is probably older than my second brother! You are overthinking."

"Really? But how can there be no stake in the bet? You must have brought ten Swiss chocolates! Remember to bring them to me before you get off the boat!" Doris said with a smile.

"Are you so sure that you will win? If you lose, I want the set of pearl jewelry you ordered in the jewelry store some time ago." Andrea was full of confidence in her guess.

"Then we'll see." Doris gave Andrea a provocative look.

Outside the restaurant

"Ruth," Carl quickly caught up with Ruth, "what's the matter with you?" There was fatigue and dissatisfaction in his tone.

"Mr. Hockley, why do you make decisions for me? You only listened to Miss Bruce and asked me to apologize?" Ruth was very dissatisfied with Carl because of the apology.It must be because Doris's brother was an earl, and Karl was really a pushover.Ruth, who was dissatisfied with Doris early in school, speculated maliciously.

"Ruth, didn't you bump into Miss Bruce on your own initiative? Besides, it was just an apology, why do you always get entangled in such trivial matters?" Carl felt that sometimes he couldn't figure out Ruth How did you think of it.Didn't she cause it?Besides, it's just a small apology. Didn't she realize that her family has fallen?Carl looked at Ruth's insulted expression, feeling a little annoyed.

Small apology?Why do you want to manipulate my behavior, I haven't agreed to your pursuit, have I?If I agree, will I completely lose my will and become a puppet dependent on men! ?Thinking of the possible scene after agreeing to Carl's pursuit, Ruth's hands in her sleeves clenched tightly into fists.No, she absolutely does not allow herself to lose her freedom.She would never agree to Karl's pursuit.

"I'm a little uncomfortable, so I'm leaving first." Ruth suppressed the gloom in her heart, and her originally good face was a little distorted.

"Okay, then, go back and rest first!" Karl replied stiffly when he accidentally saw Ruth's distorted face.

Seeing Ruth's eagerness to leave, Karl began to think about why he chose to pursue Ruth in the first place.

Ruth has a beautiful appearance and a somewhat rebellious personality. She is like a spark that suddenly appeared in her ordinary life of more than twenty years.During this time, he has been chasing Ruth's pace.But is Ruth really fit to be Mrs Hockley?

Her sharp manner was out of place with the whole upper class.Several of his partners had conflicts with him because of her inappropriate words and deeds.Although Ruth's family is in decline, it also belongs to the upper class.But Ruth always showed a willingness to yearn for those civilian lives.

Maybe he should think about whether he should give up pursuing Ruth.

Carl began to reflect.乛乛

Ruth, who walked out of the restaurant, did not go to the bedroom to rest as she said before.She lifted the hem of her skirt, and ran onto the deck with a posture and speed that did not meet the standards of a lady in high society at the time.

"Oh, my God!" "Who is that?" "Yeah!" Several famous ladies who were accidentally touched by Ruth were taken aback.They didn't know why the first-class passenger who was clearly an upper-class passenger ran in the corridor regardless of etiquette?That's really rude!

Ruth propped her hands on the railing, gasping for air with her mouth open.She looked at the calm sea in the distance with eyes full of confusion.

Why would she be reduced to what she is now.Ruth didn't understand how she changed from the beloved princess of the Cabot family to a down-and-out aristocratic girl whose mother said that she had to rely on men's pursuit to barely maintain the last bit of glory of the Cabot family.

Ruth didn't like Carl from the bottom of her heart, and Carl's family started decades ago.In Ruth's mind, Karl is a vulgar businessman with an arrogant, unartistic quality.The Hockley family's background is not too deep, which has been criticized by other nobles.

The Hockley family has had two mistresses in a row come from a declining noble family.It is also true that although Carl's father did not like Ruth, he did not try his best to prevent him from pursuing Ruth.
