Just when Carl was talking about love and trying to change Olivia's mind, so that the two of them could sleep together a little earlier, Brooke, who was sent out by Olivia earlier, came back with a piece of good news and A bad news: The good news is that although there are not many telegraph machines in the telegraph room, the telegraph operator has already sent a telegram to them to the staff of the Wireless Telegraph Company stationed in Queenstown, Ireland, asking them to send a telegram at noon tomorrow The bad news is that Stephanie still hasn't entered the room she booked until the ship sailed, and he has asked almost every service staff who took the first-class guests, but no one has received a Los Angeles. Mrs. Longt, the ticket collector did not receive the E21 ticket either.

Hearing what he said, Olivia, whose cheeks were still warm because of Karl's increasingly numbing sweet words, quickly receded all embarrassment, and her face became very serious. She immediately asked Brook to send a telegram to Henry and Edgar, and she Then go to Audrey's room to tell her the news.

While the two of them were discussing how to deal with this matter, Ellie, who had been sent by Olivia to confirm that Stephanie hadn't boarded the ship, suddenly came in and brought the Titanic with her when she left the port. The New York ship docked next to it had a slight collision. For safety reasons, Captain Smith decided to park the ship back to its original position and postpone the departure time for a detailed inspection of the hull.

Even if it wasn't serious, Olivia, who was already insecure about the Titanic, couldn't help frowning because of the accident on a new ship before departure. The result of the unexpected accident was beneficial to them, so her expression quickly returned to its original state, and she asked Carl, who accompanied her to Audrey's suite, to ask Smith about how long the inspection would take.

After getting the inspection time no less than half an hour, Olivia immediately asked Brook to disembark from the staff passage to find Henry and Edgar who might still be in the port, and gave some to the staff guarding the passage. TIP, let him accommodate Henry and Edgar to the boat.

Even though she knew that Brook had told the two of them that Stephanie hadn't boarded the boat on the way here, Olivia still repeated the explanation, and specifically said that Audrey was so angry that she almost hadn't recovered. To Henry, finally, she spoke her mind to them.

She asked them to investigate whether Stephanie had refunded the first-class ticket that Henry sponsored two-thirds of the cost, because the reason why Stephanie, who was so enthusiastic about taking the Titanic, chose to give up was only possible Be a man or gamble, and either requires a lot of money.Therefore, as long as she returned the ticket, they can trace it from those two aspects; if there is no refund, then they will consider the possibility of her encountering an accident.

After finishing speaking, she retreated to Edgar's side while Henry was thinking, reminding him not to stay too far away from home when helping Henry find Stephanie's whereabouts, she may need his help at any time.

Seeing Olivia pulling Edgar to talk with a sad face, and remembering that she said earlier that her wife was getting sick from Stephanie's anger, it is almost certain that Stephanie must be doing something absurd now Henry felt very guilty after what happened.

Just when the staff came to inform that the boat was about to start again in 10 minutes, Henry, who had been silent and thinking, suddenly said, "Tell your aunt, Olivia, if nothing happened to Stephanie this time. If an unfortunate accident prevents her from coming, I will definitely deal with her severely and will not let her continue to affect our lives."

Olivia actually didn't take his promise seriously. After all, according to Audrey, he never stopped providing financial support to Stephanie when he was the most angry in the past. She didn't think the harsh treatment he just said could stop Stephen. Ni's out-of-order behavior is only on the surface, she still nodded obediently.

After giving Henry and Edgar a farewell hug, she walked towards Carl, who had come here to look for her about 10 minutes ago, and walked back to where the first-class cabin was, holding his hand.

Because Karl had to greet other first-class passengers, Olivia went to Audrey's room alone to convey Henry's words.Although Audrey was still angry with Henry because of Stephanie's matter, she was still very satisfied with his promise.

Olivia left her room after coaxing her, who was emotionally ups and downs early in the morning, to take a nap, and asked her maid Nancy to book a Turkish bath and private massage room for her an hour later. And knocked on the door of Eleanor's room next door.

Seeing that it was her coming, Eleanor immediately welcomed her into the room, and happily pulled her to sit on the sofa, and then pointed to her with her eyes for the oil painting that Brook helped hang on the wall just now, in which she was and her father and elder brother, "I did not bring Monet's painting here, but I brought this painting here. It was painted by my father at the end of last year. If you think If this painter is good at painting, let him paint a picture of you and Edgar before you get married. After all, you will marry and go to the United States. You must leave an oil painting for your brother and me. Let us When I miss you, I can look at the painting and miss you."

Since she will spend up to seven days on board and five days in the United States for this trip, Olivia, who emphasizes efficiency and has a pragmatic personality, didn't bring too many sundries except clothes and jewelry.And she was worried that Stephanie would think about their things when she saw them and ask them for it regardless of face, so she also told Audrey and Eleanor not to bring too expensive paintings and jewelry this time, after all, even if they don’t give things to them. Stephanie, but it would also make people feel bad if Stephanie asked.

"In addition to me and Edgar, I might ask him to draw a picture of Edgar and you, because I will miss you too." Olivia said intimately while holding her hand, " By the way, I didn't have the opportunity to ask you individually before, how are the preparations for the wedding going? Is there anything my aunt and I can do to help?"

Eleanor and Edgar's wedding is scheduled for early May, more than a month earlier than Olivia and Carl's wedding, and this time Edgar will specifically ask Eleanor to attend the Titanic with them The maiden voyage of the ship is also to allow her, who is too stressed to eat well and sleep restlessly because of the preparations for the wedding, to come to the ship to relax. After all, the Marchioness of Bradford passed away when she was still young. There is only one female elder in the family on both sides of the parents, but the other party is 70 years old and cannot be too hardworking, and out of etiquette, Olivia and Audrey can only help a little secretly from time to time, so what the woman needs at the wedding The preparations were almost handled by Eleanor alone.

"I'm almost busy," said Eleanor's cheeks with a slight blush when talking about the wedding, "Although I'm not very familiar with these things, my father and Joseph are helping me as much as possible, and Clara...Even Joseph has helped me a lot with the person I'm dating now, so I don't need to bother you and Mrs. Bedford anymore."

"Are you sure, dear Eleanor? You must know that you will become my sister-in-law in a month, and even if you don't want to help, you still have to help me prepare for my wedding, so you will be at a disadvantage!"

"That's okay, Mrs. Bedford will help anyway." Hearing what Olivia said, Eleanor couldn't help chuckling a few times, and then pulled her up from the sofa together, " Alright, let's go out for a stroll together. I've just flipped through the brochure in the room. Let's go to the deck and cafe first, and then look at the equipment in the squash court. If it's good, we'll go there tomorrow. play there."

Seeing her excited face, Olivia thought it was funny, she could only ask her personal maid, Zoe, to go to her room to inform Ellie of her whereabouts, so that Carl would not find anyone when he came back, and then took her arm and went out Walk.

Just as Olivia had expected, because the ship had just left the port not long ago, there were still many people on the deck crowded around the railing looking at the position of the port, and some of them even kept waving at the people on the shore. proceed.

Such a scene made the two of them give up their plan to take a walk on the deck, and instead went to visit the layout of various restaurants and cafes in the first class.Because she had read the introduction brochure first, during the visit, Eleanor mentioned the signature dishes of that restaurant, and also listed the dishes or desserts she wanted to try.

Apart from not eating much seafood other than fish, Olivia actually didn't have any particular preference for what to eat, so she listened quietly to Eleanor's words along the way, nodding her head from time to time to echo.

After admiring the French-style decorations of the ALaCarte restaurant and the Parisien Cafe, Olivia took Eleanor to the ship's library. Although she had already put two novels in her carry-on luggage, she didn't mind reading them here. Read or revisit a few more books during the trip.

After staying in the library for almost an hour, handing over the books they wanted to borrow to the administrator and giving him some tips for delivering the books to their rooms, they went to the squash court mentioned by Eleanor earlier.

Since the squash court and the private massage room are located on the same deck, the two of them went to the massage room for a massage after making an appointment with the squash court coach to play tomorrow.

By the time they finished their massages, there was only half an hour left before dinner, so they had to rush back to their rooms to change.

As soon as she entered her room, Olivia saw Carl who was sitting on the sofa and waiting for her while flipping through the newspaper. As soon as he saw her, he immediately put down the newspaper and walked towards her to give her a hug. A kiss was printed on each cheek, "How about it, Olivia, the facilities on the Titanic are indeed the best in the world, right?"

I didn't want to argue with him on his interest, so Olivia just smiled, then pushed him away, and said while walking to her bedroom; "Mr. Hockley, if you don't want to miss the entrance time for dinner , then please give me 10 minutes to change clothes."

Although he felt that there was nothing wrong with her changing clothes in front of him, Carl sat back on the sofa obediently, picked up the newspaper and read roughly while waiting for her.

Soon, Olivia changed into a dark green dress and came out, with emerald jewelry on her head and neck.

Knowing that Audrey and Eleanor need a little more time to change their clothes, Olivia did not go out immediately after she was already dressed. Instead, she sat on the sofa opposite Carl and asked after taking a sip of tea : "Is there anyone we want to have dinner with later?"

"Not tonight," Carl seemed a little guilty after saying this, he quickly got up and sat beside her, and stretched out his arms to hold her in his arms, "but I promised Ismay that I will meet you at noon tomorrow He had lunch with me, he wanted to talk to me about the stocks I had, but Mr. Andrew, the designer of the Titanic, would also be with us, and after lunch he would take us on a guided tour..."

To his surprise, Olivia didn't express any dissatisfaction except for raising her eyebrows and looking at him, "In this case, I hope that Mr. Ismay and I will not get along except for the greeting at the beginning and the farewell at the end. Speaking."
