The noble lady always has a little intuition

Looking at the noisy and crowded crowd around him, Carl, who just got out of the car, frowned in disgust, but quickly went around to the other side of the car, reached out to Olivia who was still sitting in the car, and helped her get off car.

When he turned his head and looked behind to make sure that the cars of Edgar, the Duke of Bedford and his wife, and the Marquess of Bradford were not obstructed by the crowd, Olivia beside him suddenly said: "I not feeling well……"

Hearing what she said, Karl immediately turned his head back, but just when he was about to ask her if she was feeling unwell, Edgar, who had also got out of the car, walked towards them, speaking in a tone of praise or dissatisfaction. Said: "Is this the Titanic? It is indeed the same as her name."

While he was speaking, Henry came over with Audrey, the Marquis of Bradford and his son Eleanor, and Henry and the Marquis of Bradford also said a few words in agreement with what Edgar said just now , but they were also very dissatisfied with Ismay's sale of most of the shares of White Star Shipping to the Americans, so what they said was just a pertinent comment and did not mean any praise.

In the middle of their conversation, Carl, who was worried about Olivia, quickly interrupted and looked at Edgar, who was closest to her, and the elders who knew her better, "Olivia said she didn't feel well ..."

"I wasted more than an hour but I still can't wait for someone who doesn't understand etiquette, and now I'm in such a noisy and crowded environment, no matter who I am, I will feel bad!" When she said these words, Audrey's face became pale. It was ugly, but she was angry rather than physically uncomfortable, and after she finished speaking, she glared at her husband angrily.

In order to get to the Southampton port on time today, the three of them and Carl came to Wincheston, east of Southampton yesterday, but they decided to take part in the maiden voyage of the Titanic rather late. The first-class rooms were either full or there were only one or two rooms left, so they had to live separately in different hotels, and Stephanie, who was supposed to stay in Wincheston's hotel for one night like them, was a maverick to Portsmouth, west of Southampton.

Because she was worried that Stephanie, who had a loose personality and didn't know how to abide by etiquette, would be late, Audrey asked Henry to remind her twice before they parted, and asked Henry to call her twice after they checked into the hotel to remind her She remembered coming to meet them at 09:30, but they still didn't see her in the hotel when the appointed time came.

After waiting for almost half an hour and calling at least ten times to the hotel where she was staying but getting no response, Henry and Audrey could only hire a car directly to Portsmouth. She was not in the room when the Duke's identity asked the counter staff to open the door of the room where she lived for them.

Seeing an empty room that was messy but without any luggage, Henry and Audrey felt that Stephanie was playing with them and deliberately went to the port to take a boat without telling them. The time for meeting with Karl and the others has passed, and there is only one and a half hours before the boat sails, so they can only temporarily suppress their anger and go to meet Karl and the others. Let's talk after Delly boards the boat.

"Indeed, there are too many people here and it's too chaotic. The shipping company should allocate the boarding time for different passengers, otherwise it's not a good thing if there is an accident." Looking at Audrey's face about to lose her temper , Edgar quickly changed the subject, and then he immediately turned to look at his sister, "Olivia, are you okay?"

His question made Olivia, who had been frowning tightly and looking at the huge Titanic in front of her, come back to her senses instantly. She let go of Karl's hand that was on her shoulder, and then walked quickly to Ed. Jia's side, holding his hand nervously, "Ed, I feel bad..."

Hearing what she said, Edgar's expression became serious instantly, but he quickly recovered, raised his hand and patted her hand to comfort him: "Auntie, Eleanor and Karl are all here with you." By your side, you still have the gift you asked me to order for you last year in your carry-on luggage, so relax, Livi."

When he mentioned Audrey and the others, Olivia, who was already in a nervous mood, calmed down, but the ominous premonition in her heart increased instead of diminishing.

Under the circumstances that Stephanie might have already boarded the ship, it was impossible for Audrey to let her alone on the Titanic with so many high-ranking people, lest she offend others and also implicate the Bedford family.In addition, many high-ranking people now know that they will participate in the maiden voyage of the Titanic, and Karl is also looking forward to this voyage, so they can't cancel it at the last minute without reason, and she can't let Karl go on board alone. Otherwise, there may be some unnecessary rumors, and it will also make Karl lose face.

After sighing deeply, Olivia raised her hand to give Edgar a hug, and then whispered in his ear: "Until we arrive in New York safely, try not to travel far and hire a few telegraph operators Schedule a shift and be on call at home anytime.”

"I will." Edgar patted her on the back and pressed a kiss on the top of her head, "Take care of yourself, Eleanor and aunt."

Since Audrey was complaining to Henry that Stephanie and Eleanor were saying goodbye to their father and elder brother, the conversation between the Campbells and the siblings was only heard by Carl, who was very close to the two of them and kept paying attention to Olivia.

At first he was indeed a little annoyed by Olivia's behavior of letting go of his hand and running to find Edgar, but when he heard what she was talking to Edgar and his trembling voice, he Only then did he feel that something was wrong, but just when he was about to say something and bring her back from her brother's hands, a strange voice suddenly sounded from the side: "Sorry, gentlemen, you have to go to the distribution station You only need to check your luggage, it’s over there!”

Carl, who was interrupted, glared at the man in the uniform of the White Star Line, and then took out a stack of banknotes from his pocket before Edgar and the other men could speak, and put them in his hands without counting them. "I think your ability can help me solve this problem, sir, my people are over there."

Glancing at the denomination of the banknote in his hand, he found that the tip in his hand was not less than five pounds. The staff seemed very happy, and even said eagerly: "It is my honor, sir, if there is anything else I need ..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lai Fujie, who was standing behind Karl, dragged him to the rear to check his luggage, and explained to him which luggage should be sent to which room.

Although Olivia and the other three ladies didn't bring too many sundries other than clothes and jewelry, the three of them plus Carl's luggage filled two cars, so apart from Lai Fujie, the Campbell's family The servant Brook also followed to see the employer's luggage.

After they left, Olivia and the three of them quickly said their last goodbyes to their families. Edgar and the others also asked Tokar to take care of Olivia and the three of them for the last time, and then Eleanor took Audrey's arm Carl's hand and Olivia's were on the boat together, and Olivia and their personal maids followed behind them.

I don’t know if they were lucky enough or Karl used his relationship. Even though they decided to book the boat ticket a month ago, they still booked the first-class four connected premium living room suites B52, B54, B56 and B58, B52 and B54 There is also a connected private stroll corridor.

Because Carl was responsible for getting the tickets, and he even paid for all the tickets, so Audrey and Eleanor didn't mind Carl leaving the suite with a private corridor connecting to himself and Olivia, The two of them lived in the two suites at the back.

As soon as he arrived at the suite, Karl asked the waiter who led them to open the connecting door between B52 and B54, and when he walked into Olivia's room from his own room through the connecting door, her personal maid Ellie was Helped her tidy up her clothes and put dresses into the closet one after another, while she leaned on the sofa in the living room and said to Brooke: "Go to room E21 and watch, Brooke, make sure Mrs. Laurent is on board Come back again. When you come back, remember to go to the telegraph room and see if you can bring back a telegraph that no one is using."

"Honey," after gesturing to let the waiter leave, Carl sat beside Olivia, stretched out his hand to take her into his arms, and then touched her face lightly, "Your face It's still very bad, should I ask Lai Fujie to call the doctor?"

"I'm fine, I'm just a little...forget it..."

Olivia dodged his hand, and opened the distance between the two when his face collapsed because of her action, and leaned back on the armrest of the sofa, raised her eyebrows slightly at him, "It's you, How are you, Carl?"

Not understanding why she would ask such a question, Carl looked a little confused, "Of course I'm fine, my dear, why do you ask that?"

"Who was the one who greeted you at the corner of the corridor just now?" Olivia didn't answer, but threw another question instead.

"Norman Davis is almost ten years older than me. His father was lucky enough to dig a gold mine 40 years ago. Although he has no right to inherit the gold mine as the second son, I heard that His father gave him a lot of the most profitable stocks in the family's investment, and he is also a businessman himself, and his business ability is not good but not too bad." Speaking of this, Carl suddenly snorted, "He is still the last The buyer of Heart of the Ocean was successfully photographed in July."

LaCoeurdelaMer, the heart of the ocean, a 56-carat blue diamond, disappeared for a while after the death of Louis XVI in France, but its photo appeared in an auction exhibit manual two months ago.

Originally, a month ago, Karl planned to secretly go to Switzerland to participate in the auction, and take the diamond as a wedding gift to Olivia, who loves blue diamonds, regardless of the cost. Got the exhibit brochure for that auction.

While she was flipping through the handbook to pass the time, Carl quietly asked her what she thought of the Heart of the Ocean, but got an answer he couldn't imagine.She said she didn't want a necklace like that because wearing heavy jewelry for a long time would only burden her neck.In addition, there are too many historical events that can prove that the heart of the ocean will bring misfortune to its owner. Although the laws and systems of England and France are very different, she does not want to buy an inconvenient necklace. To risk being guillotined like Louis XVI.

Hearing what she said, Carl knew that even if he took the diamond, he would not be able to make the beautiful woman smile. He had no choice but to ask Lai Fujie to cancel the boat ticket to France and the train ticket from France to Switzerland.

Although he voluntarily gave up participating in the auction, Carl, who had always regarded the Heart of the Ocean as his own for a while, still didn't like Davis who bought it.

"Second son, so he chose to repay the huge debts of the Bookett family, and the reason why he got engaged to Miss Bookett was to increase his bargaining chip in inheriting the family business, right?" Looking at the question because he mentioned Miss Bookett As for Carl, whose facial expression began to stiffen, Olivia couldn't help smiling and teasing, "Will you regret it? If you had waited a little longer to let Miss Bukett experience how creditors collect debts, maybe she I will willingly accept your pursuit and get engaged to you, after all, your conditions are much better than that of Mr. Davis."

To be honest, Carl really didn't know if she asked this question just to tease himself, or to test that he no longer had any affection for Ruth, so he could only ask while observing her expression: "How do you know that I have Are you going to pursue her business?"

"Remember that masquerade ball last June? After we danced, my classmates told me that you were going to court Miss Buckett, because Mr. Taylor, who brought you to the ball, wanted them to Tell you something about Miss Buckett."

"That's just what I thought when I first arrived in England, my Olivia," Carl tried to think of a reason that could let him go once and for all, lest she have the opportunity to bring up the old story again later, "You know, she is a A nobleman who is burdened with huge debts, only such a noble lady would be willing to marry an American businessman, I never thought that I would be able to win the favor of a wealthy countess like you..."

Ignoring his evasive excuses, Olivia smiled and pointed out the main reason, "And the most important thing is that she is beautiful."

"But her beauty is nothing like yours, dear."

Carl's words were answered quickly and smoothly, which made Olivia, who had successfully teased him, couldn't help covering her mouth and chuckling a few times.

Just when she was about to say something, there was a loud sound of the ship's whistle, which meant that the ship was about to leave the port, so she stopped laughing, stood up, walked to the private corridor, opened the window and looked at A crowded port.

Without seeing any joy or excitement from her profile, Carl hugged her gently from behind, "I love you, Olivia."

Olivia didn't answer, she just continued to look out of the window, but her hand was on his waist and she held it tightly.

Carl took her behavior as a positive reply, so he lowered his head and asked softly in her ear, "Can I come to your room tonight?"

"We're only two months away from the wedding, so please be patient, Mr. Fiance."
