The noble lady always has a little intuition
Chapter 24 24
"What do you think that Miss Bukett is thinking? You told her so much the night before yesterday, but she did something like that yesterday..." After Ellie and Zooey had just made up, After the black tea and afternoon tea were served, Eleanor couldn't help but asked Olivia who was pouring tea for the two, half complaining and half curious.
Last night in the first-class restaurant, when all the guests took advantage of the waiting time before the formal meal to gather together to chat and socialize, Ruth was not with her fiancé Davis or her mother, Ruth, Instead, he held the arm of the third-class passenger Jack Dawson who had saved her, and intimately introduced several guests who were particularly famous in the first-class cabin in his ear, with the same expression on his face when he was with Davis before. A smile never seen before.
During the meal, Davis and Ruph took turns mocking Jack with words, trying to make him make a fool of himself, but Ruth spoke for Jack and refuted some of Davis and Ruvna's disparaging words from time to time. .
And after the meal, although Olivia and Eleanor didn't see it with their own eyes, there are rumors among the first-class passengers and servants this morning that Ruth tricked Davis and Rufu after dinner yesterday The room rested, but after Davis went to the smoking room and Rufu returned to the room, he left his room again, and then secretly followed Jack in the third class, and carnivaled with him all night long.
In addition to this, there is another rumor, that is, Davis, who sent his own servant to follow Ruth last night, learned about Ruth's behavior from the servant in the morning, and was in the suite with her Li gave her a slap in the face when she was having breakfast, and this was the reason why she was unable to eat at the restaurant at noon today, because her left face was still red and swollen, and the traces of handprints were still very clear.
"Probably because I have a good impression of that Mr. Dawson." After taking a sip of black tea from the teacup, Olivia smiled and said her conjecture, "From their conversation last night, it is not difficult to guess that Mr. Mr. Sen is a person who advocates freedom and has a good personality, and his behavior is just different from what I told her, making her feel that the civilian life she yearns for is still the same as she imagined, so of course she doesn't want Booker Mrs. Turt and Mr. Davis verbally humiliated Mr. Dawson, who gave her hope."
"It's not just that," Eleanor couldn't help adding, thinking of Ruth's smiling face to Jack and her behavior of secretly following him to the third-class cabin, "Miss Bucket must have fallen in love with Mr. Dawson at first sight, right?" , after all, that Mr. Dawson has a pretty face."
Olivia tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, then shook her head, "Mr. Dawson is indeed good-looking, and his conversation is funny, and Miss Bucket does have a crush on Mr. Dawson, but I I don't think it was love at first sight, but because Mr. Dawson saved her from suicide the night before."
"So, do you think Miss Bucket will break off her engagement with Mr. Davis?"
"Unless Miss Bucket summons up the courage to rebel against her mother, Mrs. Bucket will never agree, and Mr. Davis... may wait until Miss Bucket does something shocking to the world, and he will take the initiative to cancel Engagement, after all, the main reason why he is willing to repay such a huge debt for the Bookett family is to increase his bargaining chips and make him the heir of the Davis family, not to let him be drawn out because of her troubles. The ranks of heirs." Speaking of this, Olivia suddenly frowned when she thought of something, "To be honest, I can only guess the reason why Miss Bucket spoke for Mr. Dawson last night, but I completely I can't understand Miss Bukett's thoughts. She accepted the dress and jewelry that Mr. Davis gave her. She asked him to buy her favorite artist's paintings for her. It should mean that she herself agreed with her. His engagement, but what she did last night was infidelity to Mr. Davis..."
Hearing what she said, Eleanor also remembered that at the dinner party yesterday, Rufu was still chatting and showing off that Davis gave Ruth the diamond "Heart of the Ocean" worth nearly 10,000+ US dollars as an engagement gift. Her resentment towards Ruth increased a lot, "Okay, let's stop talking about Miss Bucket, I'm worried that if we continue talking, I won't be able to help showing her that I love her when I meet her later." her disgust."
Olivia really wanted to tell her that she brought up the topic about Ruth, but in the end Olivia just smiled, "Even if you bluntly express your dislike for her, it doesn't matter whether the Campbell family or the cloth The Ryfords have no business dealings with the Davises."
"But after you marry the Hockley family, you will often meet her in social situations, and Carl will often meet Mr. Davis in business. I don't want to cause trouble for you." After disapproving, he said , Eleanor changed the subject, "Speaking of Carl, from his behavior in the restaurant last night, it can be seen that he cares about you very much, you picked a good one for yourself, Livi."
At dinner yesterday, Karl thoughtfully ordered the same steak for the main course as Olivia when ordering. The steak in front of her was cut and exchanged with the plate in front of her.After that, he would turn his head to ask her status from time to time during the chat. When the dinner was over and the men wanted to go to the smoking room to continue chatting, drinking and smoking, he would send Olivia back to the room before going there. Ask Lai Fujie to ask the doctor on board to come over for her follow-up consultation first.
Thinking that last night after Carl left the smoking room, he went to his room to say good night, ask the doctor what he said, and wash up and change clothes before coming here, Olivia picked up the teacup and took another sip of tea , and then slowly said: "He is indeed very good."
There was no embarrassing blush on her face, but a slight smile, which surprised Eleanor. After drinking a sip of tea and thinking about her words, she asked in a tentative tone: "I know You only agreed to get engaged to Karl when you had some affection for him, so how do you feel about him now, Olivia?"
"I probably like it a little bit," Olivia replied in an uncertain tone after eating a piece of macaron, "You know, I have no experience of liking others before, and all my love-related Knowledge comes from books... oh, yes, and your interaction with Edgar."
Caught off guard by being teased by the future sister-in-law, Eleanor blushed instantly, but she continued to ask calmly, "I just like him a little bit? I thought you should like him very much, or even fall in love with him." , otherwise how would you agree with him to open the connecting door between the two of you?"
"It's not that I don't want to refuse, but it would be inappropriate if I disagree, after all, the two of us already have a marriage contract, and... even if I disagree, he will use various methods or words to make me nod. "Don't want to share those embarrassing details, so Olivia quickly skipped over, "In any case, I think my feelings for him will only stop at the level of liking, I...will restrain myself Falling in love with him..."
Hearing what she said, Eleanor was very puzzled, "Why, Olivia? You are getting married soon, and if there are no accidents, he will be the one who will be with you for the rest of your life!"
"Dear Eleanor," Olivia felt a little amused by her doubts, "Carl is different from Edgar. He has had several lovers. I don't think I have such a great charm to make him After marriage, he will not continue to have a lover outside."
"Of course, dear Livi, you should be confident in your own beauty and excellence!"
"Beauty always fades with time, and, most importantly, I don't have the confidence to feel that I can make a man change because of me." While speaking, Olivia put down the teacup in her hand, and then Lifting up "Dangerous Liaisons" on the coffee table, it was one of the novels she brought from home, and she was still flipping through it before Eleanor came to her for afternoon tea, "For example, this book Madame Tourville thought she could change Viscount Valmont, a notorious libertine in the upper class, but after she betrayed her faith and loyalty and dedicated herself to Viscount Valmont, Viscount Valmont abandoned her in the On the other hand, in the end she got hysteria and died painfully in the monastery... Although Madame Tourville and Viscount Valmont are fictional characters, the plot written by Laroque may be real, so I will not let myself commit Make the same mistake."
Although I dare not buy novels that were banned more than ten years ago because of my father and brother, Eleanor, who loves literature, always steals a few books from her collection every time I visit Campbell's house, so I also read "Dangerous Liaisons" "'s Eleanor recalled the content of the book and immediately retorted: "No, Viscount Valmont did fall in love with Madame Tourville, if Madame Metelil did not resort to some tricks, otherwise Viscount Valmont must have fallen in love with Mrs. Tourville. Will give up his evil deeds of hunting around for Mrs. Tourville!"
"This is just an example, Eleanor." Seeing that she was not convinced by herself, Olivia could only put the novel back on the coffee table.
"No, Olivia, what you did was wrong!" Eleanor, who was sitting opposite her, suddenly got up and sat next to her, then held her right hand and said earnestly, "Although I I don’t have much experience in love, but... only Karl is giving affection unilaterally, but you are not. In the future, if Karl gets tired of this and turns to an outsourced lover, then it’s not just Karl, you are also at fault!”
This argument made Olivia stunned, and it took her a while to recover, and she said in a voice that could not hear the emotion: "That's okay, I remember I told you that Carl signed the contract. A prenuptial agreement, as long as he takes care of his lover after marriage, then we will divorce and I can go back to the UK immediately, there is no loss for me, is there?"
"Even if you already had a child at that time? Are you willing to leave the child in the United States and return to the UK by yourself?"
Finding that Olivia was lost in thought again because of her words, Eleanor stood up from the sofa, then embraced her head in her arms, and said softly while patting the top of her head: "I don't know Why are you so resistant, Li Wei, obviously your parents and your uncles and aunts had a good relationship before... I hope you know that love is a wonderful relationship, you should experience it yourself, not borrow it I imagined it from the description in the book..."
After a long silence, Olivia raised her right hand and hugged her back, then buried her face in her arms and said sullenly: "If I fell in love with someone, but was abandoned by that person in the end, That would be a disgrace to me, and my self-esteem does not allow me the slightest possibility of being in such a predicament."
"You have too much self-esteem, honey, and that's one of the few things you should improve on. Sometimes you can stop worrying about your dignity so much, and it'll make your life a little easier!" About her, Ellie Nuo couldn't laugh or cry, so after letting her go, Eleanor couldn't help but pinch her cheeks affectionately, "Okay, I know you need time to digest and think about my suggestion, so I won't Sorry to bother you. See you at dinner, my lovely Livi!"
After kissing her forehead again as farewell, Eleanor got up and left her room.After she left, Olivia asked Ellie to deliver the rest of the refreshments to Eleanor's room, and asked Ellie to go to the servants' lounge after delivering the refreshments, and wait until one hour before dinner to return. Back, then she turned and walked into her bedroom.
Because I just had afternoon tea with Eleanor, who I have known for a long time, Olivia was not wearing a waistcoat and her hair was not pulled up, but was simply tied with a headband, so after taking off the headband After putting it on the bedside cabinet, she lay down on the bed with only a short-sleeved dress, which was a rare sight.
It didn't take long for her to close her eyes and try to sort out the chaotic thoughts in her head, a quilt was covered on her body, and then a heavy weight was pressed on her body through the quilt, and fine kisses fell on her hair , "Honey, the temperature is getting colder and colder now, be careful not to catch a cold."
After slightly opening her eyes and looking at Karl behind her, Olivia closed her eyes again, and then sighed, "How much have you heard about my conversation with Eleanor?"
As soon as she finished asking her question, Carl, who was half-sitting on the edge of the bed, no longer restrained himself, and directly put the weight of his upper body on her back, "From the time you started discussing whether Miss Bucket fell in love with that third-class gangster I'll just sit in the other room and listen to you."
Knowing that what she said to Eleanor violated the conditions she agreed to after accepting Karl's marriage proposal, but Olivia didn't want to argue for herself, she just sighed again, "Then... what do you want to tell me? ?"
"No, I'm just here to accompany you to think about Eleanor's suggestion..." After a pause, Carl said again, "Yes, I have something to tell you, I want to tell you again, I love you , Olivia..."
After a long silence, Olivia murmured softly: "Yes, I know, but... I just like you, Karl..."
"I know." While speaking, Carl stretched out his right hand to interlock her fingers, and pressed a kiss on her cheek, "I can wait, for you, I have endless patience."
The author has something to say:
I finally got the certificate for Taiwan compatriots, but the real-name authentication I paid has been unable to pass. Obviously the data I entered is exactly the same as the certificate, but the system keeps saying that my input information is wrong (crazy ing), so how should I buy it? The cover of the article that will be opened next year! ! ! !
That is to say, next year I want to open a straight hole, but it is difficult to open this kind of novel with a heroine in my heart, because I don’t know how to describe it so that he will not fall in love with the heroine in my novel. Scumbag and abrupt
