Matriarch of the Hockleys

[-]. The Hockleys.

In a blink of an eye, decades have passed.A long time had passed, so long that his and Andrea's children were almost married.

Carl still remembers the scene of their engagement day, not because they were engaged.Rather, he almost lost the love of his life that day.

No one knew how Ismay got through the tight security and appeared at the banquet. When he pointed his gun at them, Carl was stunned.

Especially when Andrea was shot and fell into his arms, if Eden hadn't woken him up, maybe he would have held Andrea all the time and never let go.

Perhaps it was his mother's blessing in heaven that he did not lose Andrea.When he looked at Andrea's bloodless face, his heart was very peaceful.It's good to be alive.

After marriage, their life is peaceful and sweet.When he learned that Andrea was pregnant, Carl's walking became the same.

They have four children, three boys and one girl, and although those little ones are always competing with him for Andrea's attention, to be honest, he loves them very much.

Then again, it happened a few years ago.

Carl had already learned a lesson from the stock of White Star Company, and he had already fully understood the risks of stocks.If not many people were playing and talking about stocks, he might not have bought one.

Besides, he has already taken over the foundation of the Hockley family, so it is nothing to influence those stocks.All these years, he has been playing short-term.

He had planned to buy some stocks that day, because he had just sold out his stocks not long ago.Unexpectedly, I heard the news that the stock price plummeted and the stock market crashed.It didn't take long for the economic crisis to sweep over half of the countries in the world.

But the steel industry was not devastated, and Eden quickly calmed down.

Before long, the war began.The steel industry became more popular, and he took advantage of this to make a lot of money for Andrea and the children.

Looking at Andrea with a gentle smile on the opposite side, Carl couldn't help grinning, it's such a good day.

[-]. The Bruce couple

When Doris saw her son's governess leaning against her husband's arms in revealing pajamas, her blood froze, and the biting cold made her tremble all over.The day has finally come.

Doris knew that Eden married herself because of responsibility, and that he didn't love her, she always knew it.

But looking at the scene in front of her, Doris was eroded by despair.

"Doris, it was a misunderstanding." Eden pushed the woman away and tried to say something.

"No need to say any more, I understand." Doris looked down at Eden, and suddenly became decadent.She left the study as if fleeing, as if something was chasing after her.

"You've been fired," Eden glanced at the woman in disgust, and hurriedly chased after her.

"Doris, can you listen to me!" He chased to the bedroom and grabbed Doris.

"You don't have to tell me, this is your freedom." Doris pursed her lips tightly, her eyes fixed on the ground.

"Freedom?" Eden suddenly raised his voice, "Don't you care about the facts at all?"

"No matter what the truth is, I won't interfere with you," Doris said, looking at the ground all the time.She had expected this to happen, didn't she?Why do you still feel uncomfortable?Doris' eyes were a little sour.

"What are you talking about?" Eden didn't understand how Doris could become so indifferent.They have been married for four years, and their children are three years old, but Doris seems to be losing her spirit, and she is becoming more and more indifferent to herself, losing her original enthusiasm.Obviously, she would spend two years writing letters to herself back then, but now she doesn't even bother to talk to herself.

"I know you are not very willing to marry me, but I hope you can respect me. She is Mike's tutor, how did you do it?" Doris was finally laughed at by Eden, and she looked angry look at him.

"I have nothing to do with her!" Eden was also a little angry, "When did I say that I didn't want to marry you?" He suddenly frowned.

"What are you thinking about every day!" Eden seemed to understand the reason for her growing indifference, "If I don't love you, I will marry you."

"You," Doris paused, "you love me? You never told me." He loves her?

"I said, at our wedding." Eden grabbed Doris's hand tightly.

"I thought it was you acting on the spot."

"I never lie about emotional matters." Eden hugged her tightly, "Do you understand now? She came in to seduce me just now, and I pushed her away."

"I love you," the two kissed, their hearts cuddling together at this moment.

[-]. The Dawsons

When Ruth elopes with Jack, she is excited.The beautiful life she was looking forward to was finally about to begin.

But everything didn't seem to be as good as she thought.

When Jack led her into an alley with stagnant water, she resisted, but remembering how little money they had, she chose to compromise.

She stuffed some jewelry and gold coins on her body before she died, but the waves were too big.All she had left was the necklace and bracelet she carried with her, but she didn't dare to let Jack sell them now, after all, the rumors hadn't passed.

Jack was thinking about Ruth's superior life in the past, and he struggled to find a place that was clean after all. Although it was small, it was enough for the two of them to live in.But for Ruth, this is not as big as her guest room.

But looking forward to the future, she threw it away without much entanglement.

In order to make a living, Jack arranged for Ruth and went out to paint for people to make money.Ruth was alone in the house, and when the floorboards 'creaked', she froze.The air seemed to have become stale, and she wanted to go forward to open the window, but was startled by the spider webs on it.This is not the life she imagined.

But Jack's warmth comforted the restless Ruth, and the sweetness of love made her forget those troublesome things.

Jack quickly got along with the neighbors around him, and he got rid of the proprietress of the tailor shop downstairs to spend more time with Ruth.

It was a beautiful woman, and the years did not leave too many marks on her face.

"Oh, your necklace is so beautiful." The proprietress marveled at her necklace.

"Yes, this is my father's relic." Ruth couldn't tell her about herself, so she lied.

"Your hands?" She was suddenly taken aback by the callused, wrinkled, and even peeling hands of the proprietress.

"There's a lot going on at the tailor's," said Ruth with her nonchalant attitude.

"Why don't you take care of it?"

"Maintenance?" The proprietress asked with an embarrassed look on her face, "That will cost a lot of money."

"It's better for you young couples just getting married. When you have children, you can't spend money like this. If you have the time to take care of it, it's better to do more housework."

Until the proprietress left, Ruth still didn't recover from the shock of those hands.Is she going to be like this in the future?

Jack didn't make any money that day, he only bought black bread for two.The rough taste made her frown, and she quarreled with Jack for some reason.

When the cold wind blew, she realized that she had run out.

"Doo~" The sudden light dazzled her eyes, and a car that almost hit her stopped a few centimeters away from her.

"Are you okay? Miss." A man hurriedly

Get out of the car, "Do you need me to take you to the hospital?"

After that time, Ruth quickly became acquainted with the lawyer named 'Thomas'. He didn't know that Ruth was married, and Ruth didn't disclose it to him.He always takes Ruth to fancy restaurants and shopping malls when Jack is out.She seemed to be back in her old life.

Until one day, Thomas invited her to the hotel, Ruth hesitated, and went anyway.We're just friends, she told herself.

However, what she didn't expect was that he actually asked her to sleep with him.

Ruth refused on the spot, and Thomas was a little annoyed. He counted the money spent for Ruth during this period in person.Threatening that she is a bitch who comes out to sell herself and pretends to be arrogant, and wants to step forward to rape/expose her silk.

Ruth, who had no way to retreat, shouted "Jack" in despair. At this moment, she really regretted it.

"Kang," the door was kicked open suddenly, "Jack," Ruth, who fell to the ground, looked at him in surprise.

When the two ran out of the hotel, Ruth looked at the expressionless Jack and began to panic.

"Jack, I'm sorry," she suddenly felt at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.

"You don't need to apologize. Ruth, I will support all your choices." Jack had heard Ruth's gossip a long time ago, but he always pretended not to know.Until today, follow me personally.God knows how desperate he was when he saw Ruth walk into the room, but she called him.

"If you regret it. I will accompany you back to England." His voice trembled.

"No, Jack, I love you. I'm really sorry this time." Ruth didn't want to go back, although she was still not used to life here.

"Are you really sure?" Jack looked at Ruth with blue eyes, with melancholy in his eyes.

"yeah."

When everything was said, the two quickly returned to their original sweetness.

After about six or seven years, Jack's painting skills have been recognized, and he has been able to earn the money that allows Ruth to live a prosperous life.

They have long since moved into tidy apartments and have two children.

Everything is fine.

The author has something to say: Thank you for your support for me all the time. This is the end of this novel. ?

This is my first time writing an article, and the writing style and conception are a bit lacking. I would like to thank the little angels for their support and tolerance.

In the next article, I will work harder.
