A. Married for one year

Olivia found time to return to England only a year after marrying in the United States.

Originally, she wanted to come back half a year ago, but the Campbell family's property in the United States had some problems, so she could only tell Edgar and the others to stay and work in the United States.More than two months ago, she was going to ask someone to buy a boat ticket, but Carl euphemistically said that Nathan's birthday was coming, and they had to go back to Philadelphia to attend his birthday banquet, and then they might have to stay in Philadelphia for a few days She made friends with other relatives in the family and the upper class in Philadelphia, so she had to give up.

Such a delay, which lasted for a year, also made Olivia feel that it was difficult to go home.

When she finally got home, she finally met Eleanor who was nine months pregnant.

Seeing that she was the only one coming back and Karl was not by her side, Eleanor couldn't help complaining, "Why didn't Karl come back with you?"

"He wanted to come back with me, but something happened to Hockley's factory at the moment. Originally, he asked me to wait until he was done with it before coming back, but I didn't want to procrastinate any longer."

"You've only been married for a year, why are you willing to part with him?"

Hearing Eleanor's inquiry, Olivia kept a smile on her face, but she couldn't help retorting in her heart.

To be honest, Olivia wanted to be separated from Karl for a long time. After the wedding, she felt that Karl was too enthusiastic towards her. As long as the two of them were not working, he always wanted to hold her in his arms. In the middle of the day, she would kiss and move her hands and feet from time to time, let alone on the bed. The frequency is so frequent that now she will not be so shy when the two are intimate, her face will be flushed, her movements will be stiff, and she will not be ashamed to look at him. up.

Originally, she thought that the situation would get better after the honeymoon, but he was still the same after a year. I don't know where the Norton poem she said to him was put in the corner of his mind. Knowing that this time he had something to do and wanted to delay his time to come to England, she ignored it and insisted on coming here according to the original time.

Without telling the real reason, Olivia just asked back: "Why don't you want to?"

Thinking of the conversation she had with her earlier, although Eleanor felt a little worried about the situation of the two of them, it was not good to ask more at this time, so she could only change the subject and chat with her about life in the United States.

After talking to Eleanor, Olivia took advantage of her lunch break to find Edgar in the study, and discussed with him the industrial situation in England, and how to transfer the collections of the Campbell's house when she returned to the United States. to the house she bought in America.

In the following days, Leo Livia will share some of Edgar's work, participate in various tea parties, and visit the homes of other aristocrats she knows well. One day she will also meet with members of the royal family, and the rest Time was accompanied by Eleanor who was born next door.

Just one day when they were about to go out to listen to the opera, Eleanor, who was supposed to be a week away from her due date, suddenly started to go into labor.

Although Edgar and Olivia were both very young, there were several servants in the Campbell family who had served for decades, so apart from being a bit flustered at first, the situation stabilized quickly.

When Olivia and Edgar were guarding outside the delivery room, pacing back and forth anxiously, an older maid came to Olivia and asked her to rest on other floors first, because the maid She was worried that after listening to Eleanor's continuous wailing because of pain for a long time, it would cast a shadow on the matter of giving birth, but she refused. child.

After a whole night of tossing, Eleanor finally gave birth to a baby girl at dawn, and Edgar named her Christine.Olive.campbell.Christine was in honor of his mother, and the middle name was one of the nicknames for the name Olivia, whom both Edgar and Eleanor hoped would be as bright as her aunt.

When hearing Christine's middle name, Olivia, who didn't like crying babies, fell in love with her.

Since Eleanor needed to recuperate after giving birth, and Edgar still had to deal with work every day, Olivia became the person who accompanied her most often besides Christine's servants. Open, become more and more beautiful, and the time she spends with Christine is getting longer and longer.

When Carl finished handling the affairs of the American factory and took the nearest boat to England to arrive at Campbell's house, what he saw was Olivia sitting by the window of the side hall on the second floor with Christine in her arms. , Gently humming a tune to coax Christine who just finished drinking milk to sleep.

Although he had seen Olivia before getting along with Prince John, although she was gentle and patient at that time, he felt that her appearance was more beautiful and charming now.

After sending the sleeping Christine back to the crib in the room, Olivia noticed Carl who followed her into the room.

Seeing the tired look on his face, Olivia pulled him out of the room, ordered the servants guarding the corridor to get refreshments, and led him to the side hall.

As soon as he arrived at the side hall, Carl immediately pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "Honey, I think it's time for us to have a child..."

Hearing what he said, Olivia couldn't help raising her eyebrows at him. After all, after a happy wedding night, he hoped to enjoy the world of the two more, so even if he and his father When meeting, he was always reminded to give birth to an heir as soon as possible, but he still took contraceptive measures when the two were intimate.

Seeing the meaning conveyed by her eyes, Carl lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Looking at the way you put Christine to sleep just now, I thought you liked children very much..."

"I'm fine with the child, I don't particularly like or dislike it," Olivia could only lean on his chest and continued when he broke free several times but he didn't let go, "I thought you thought the same as me. "

"But if it's you and my child, it will definitely be as smart and cute as you, and won't just know how to cry like other children. I will like such a child very much!"

No matter what kind of parents give birth to a child, from birth to three years old, they only know how to cry... I don’t know why Karl has such a wrong cognition, but I heard him already thinking about what the child should call What name, what should the child learn after he becomes sensible, Olivia decided not to spoil his interest when he was in the mood.

B. Three years after marriage

Since 1914, war has broken out in continental Europe, and as the war intensified, Edgar, Eleanor's brother Joseph, Philip and Anthony of the Bedford family were all recruited to join the war.

In the beginning, Eleanor stayed in the UK with Christine and the newborn Nicholas, but Olivia, who happened to be visiting relatives in the UK with her almost one-year-old son Osment, could only send a telegram Go back to America, and then stay in England with her while looking after the Campbell family property.

In 1915, when the combined casualties of the British and French forces on the western front amounted to one million, Olivia, who had been urged by Carl to return to the United States with telegrams, could only leave the United Kingdom with Eleanor and the others. She also asked Audrey and Joseph's new wife Clara if they wanted to leave together, but they refused, so she could only temporarily entrust the Campbell's house to Audrey.

After returning to the United States, Eleanor, their mother and son lived in the house diagonally opposite Carl and Olivia. It was bought by Olivia with money from the Campbell family a year after she came to the United States. Currently, the most important house in the Campbell family And the most precious collections are placed in that house.

After bringing Eleanor back to New York, USA, Olivia would go to her place every morning, and listen to the radio with her to confirm the battle situation in the UK and the confirmed death list.

At the beginning of 1916, they learned from Audrey that Anthony died in France. Originally, they wanted to rush back to England to accompany Audrey, but in May of the previous year, an incident occurred in Lusitania. The sinking of the USS by a German submarine, both Carl and Audrey are worried that they will be on board at this time, so they can only give up and write to Audrey and Anthony's wife instead, hoping to get more Give them some comfort.

Eleanor didn't have much contact with Anthony, but Olivia had a good relationship with him when she was a child, so she was sad for a long time.

During that time, in order to make her feel better, Karl would try to go home on time every night, talking and playing with his son to tease her, and during the day, Eleanor would take her two children to Huo Kerry's to accompany her.

When Olivia finally felt better, Eleanor handed over the children to Carl and the servants to take care of them, and then took Olivia to watch an opera at the largest theater in New York.

Although the United States did not participate in the war, and the battlefield was still far away on the European continent, the mood of the American people was still affected to some extent, so even if they did not buy tickets in advance, Eleanor and Olivia still got a sight Very good box.

When the opera entered the intermission, Olivia and Eleanor left the box together to take a walk outside.

Because in the first two years of marriage, Carl often took Olivia to various banquets and dances. Many people in the upper class knew her, so they would stop and nod to her when they saw her.

After a couple greeted them and left, a woman with bright looks and bright clothes suddenly came up to her, stared at Olivia, and asked in a somewhat rude tone: "Are you Huo?" Mrs. Clay? That Mrs. Hockley, who was made a Viches because of the Titanic incident?"

Olivia, who had a good memory, was sure that she had never seen this woman before, and from her words and deeds, she also believed that she was not of the same class as herself, so she just smiled and said, "Yes. Excuse me, who are you? "

"My name is Daisy, you may not know me," Daisy showed a self-deprecating smile when talking, "Now I am the lover of a branch manager of Macy's, but before that I was... "

Although she didn't finish her sentence, Olivia saw that Edgar had investigated Carl's information, so Olivia also knew that she had been one of Carl's lovers before, "I know. So what's the matter with you?" ?”

"It's nothing, I'm just curious about Mrs. Hockley's appearance, that's why I came to say hello..." At this point, Daisy realized how inappropriate her impulsive behavior out of curiosity was. So he quickly bowed to her and apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have come to bother you!"

Seeing her panic-stricken back, Eleanor, who was completely confused by the conversation between the two of them just now, couldn't help asking: "Who was that person just now, Li Wei?"

After returning to the box, Olivia answered, "She was Karl's former lover. According to the information that Edgar had obtained before, they have been together for almost three years."

Hearing this answer, Eleanor raised her hand to cover her open mouth in surprise, and after a while she put her hand down, and said in an angry tone: "What did she come to say hello to you just now?! Demonstrating to show off?! Why are you still so polite to her?!"

"I've read her information. She became Karl's lover at the beginning because her father died of illness and left a large amount of debt before he passed away. Now... probably because she has no other livelihood skills, so she wants to save money when she is young. Some money. I don’t think there is anything wrong with her choice, at least she is more determined and more measured than Miss Bukett before.”

Seeing Olivia's calm face, Eleanor, who was still angry at first, also calmed down, but she couldn't help but asked again: "Aren't you angry?"

Olivia patted her hand amusedly, "It's not worth getting angry about things that have passed and cannot be changed."

Seeing the calmness of the parties involved, Eleanor suddenly felt that there was no need to get angry at all, so she could only sit back in her seat and wait for the opera to start.

Since there were children at home, the two of them returned to the Hockleys immediately after the opera.

When Eleanor picked up Christine and Nicholas and was about to go back to the opposite side, Olivia also picked up Osmond and followed them to the opposite side.

Seeing himself taking care of the three children all night, but Olivia not only didn't say a word to him after returning home, she didn't even give him a look, and finally left with the children in her arms. Carl felt baffled. After regaining his senses, he immediately followed to the diagonally opposite door.

When he arrived at Eleanor's residence, Olivia had already gone to the guest room to rest, Christine and Nicholas were also sent to the room by the servants to go to bed, Eleanor was the only one in the living room, so he He could only ask, "What happened to Olivia?"

Knowing that although Olivia said she wasn't angry, she didn't want to just pretend that nothing happened, so Eleanor just took a sip of the tea brought by the servant, and said gloatingly: "Just now we were singing There was a woman named Daisy in the theater, I wonder if you remember her?"

Carl thought for a long time before he remembered who Daisy was, and the moment he remembered, his face became ugly, and then he ran directly to the upstairs guest room regardless of etiquette.

"Olivia!"

As soon as he opened the door of the guest room, Carl called out eagerly, but was glared at by Olivia who had just put Aldmond to sleep. He quickly shut up, and then dragged her to the empty room next door, "Honey……"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Karl didn't know how to continue, and seeing his embarrassed look of opening and opening his mouth, but he couldn't say anything, Olivia could only say: "No need to go Trouble with that woman."

"Okay." Didn't expect her to say that, but Karl nodded immediately.

"Let Mr. Lai Fujie tell your former lovers, don't take the initiative to introduce yourself in front of me, I don't want to waste time on those irrelevant people."

"I see..." Carl hugged Olivia into his arms and kissed her on the cheek as a comfort, "Don't be angry, Livi, if I knew I would know you, I would definitely not..."

Olivia turned her head slightly to avoid his lips, "It's useless to say what happened in the past."

"Then I swear in the name of God, whether it is now or in the future, I will only love you..."

Seeing that she still seemed a little dissatisfied with such words, Karl leaned over and kissed her lips when she was about to speak.

C. Married for six years

After Germany voluntarily sued for peace and ended the four-year war in November last year, Eleanor immediately took Christine and Nicholas back to England. Go back home first, and welcome his return at home.

Originally, because she hadn’t returned to her hometown for more than four years, Olivia also wanted to go back with Eleanor and the others, but because there were still a lot of work to be done at hand, the important collection that the Campbell’s family had temporarily moved to the United States was also gone. They needed to be properly packed and brought back together, so she returned to England a month later than Eleanor.

Because the Hockley family has been involved in the arms industry since two years ago, and the work at hand has not been finished yet, so Olivia was only accompanied by Osmond, who was almost five years old, when she returned to England.And although the British Isles were lucky enough not to become a battlefield, and the war ended for more than two months, the atmosphere in the whole country was still somewhat chaotic. Edgar and Eleanor were worried. bought the house, so they lived in Campbell Mansion.

At first Edgar was worried that Osmond would not be used to staying in the historic Campbell Mansion, but unexpectedly he adapted very well. Not only that, his words and deeds were similar to those of Christine and Nicholas. They are equally elegant and polite, and they don't speak with an American accent like his father, but speak fluent Queen's English like his mother.

Although Edgar was very satisfied with Olivia's aristocratic education in teaching Osmond, he still couldn't help but asked a little worriedly, "Karl... and his father, I have no objection to you doing this ?”

"Carl doesn't care about these things, but Nathan... is Carl's father. He doesn't like me raising Osmond in this way. He thinks that American men should not be as rigid as British men... "Olivia said indifferently, "It's just that for me, his opinion is not important to me. I have asked Osmond, because I have been with Christine and Nicholas since I was a child. Playing together, so he told me he wanted to be like them."

Hearing what she said, Edgar showed a complacent expression, "After all, half of his body is the blood of our Campbell family, and it is only natural that he has the pride and pride of a nobleman."

"Don't praise him like that," Olivia didn't have any proud expression on her face, but frowned tightly, "Although you can't see it when you're together, he has completely inherited his father's pride and self-confidence." He has a big personality, and the disgust he shows when he looks down on people is exactly the same as his father. In addition, he is more extreme than his father. At most, Karl just looks down on those who do not belong to the upper class, but he I also look down on those in the upper class who have no official titles or titles. I once reprimanded him that in the future he is likely to have no official titles or titles like those he despises, but he told me that the future must be like me and Karl It's really..."

Applying Karl's look of disgust on his nephew's face, the smile on Edgar's face immediately collapsed, and it took a while before he replied in a dry tone: "It's not a bad thing for him to have such ambition... ...However, have you considered allowing Osmond to stay in England to study with Christine and the others to see if he can correct his shortcoming."

After thinking in silence for a long time, Olivia said, "I will discuss it with Karl and Osment again."

"Let's not talk about this," Edgar asked after making a gesture to get all the servants standing aside to retreat outside the side hall, "Do you get along well with Carl? He... should Didn't mess around outside?"

Thinking that Carl has been extremely considerate and responsive to her these past few years, and he was also very warm in bed, Olivia couldn't help but feel hot in her ears, but on the surface she still pretended to be calm and replied: "Our relationship... probably Just like an ordinary couple. As for the second question, we were just newly married, and he has been busy with his new business in the past two years, so he probably doesn’t have the time and energy to find a lover outside, so it depends on him in the next few years. I can answer only by my performance.”

"Although Eleanor told me that you get along very well, if you are wronged, you must say..." Edgar showed a solemn expression while speaking, "Because of the previous war, Britain's national strength is not as good as before It is only a matter of time before the international status is replaced by the United States, which joined the war at the last moment and retained most of its strength. However, the Campbell family still has the ability to let you divorce the husband you don’t love and get custody of the children. arrived."

A few days after Olivia and Edgar finished talking alone, Karl finally arrived in England.

After paying homage to Edgar and Eleanor, Carl originally planned to take Olivia and Osmond to live in the house he bought in the suburbs of London a few years ago, but when Olivia was packing, Campbell The family suddenly received a message from the royal family, saying that Prince John, who is currently recuperating at Sandham Manor, has been suffering from frequent attacks recently, and his condition is getting worse, so I hope that Olivia, who has a good relationship with Prince John, can catch up as soon as possible. Visit him at Sandham Manor.

Hearing the news, Olivia quickly ordered the housekeeper to prepare the car, and then went directly to the car with a box of clothes that had just been packed.

By the time she arrived at Wood Farm on the Sandham estate, the king and queen had arrived, as had several princes and princesses.

She stood beside Prince John's bed with them, watched Prince John close his eyes, and fell into an eternal sleep.

In the next few days, the royal family members fell into a sad mood. Olivia could only go beyond the bounds to help Prince John's funeral. In her spare time, she also accompanied Princess Mary and the two little princes.

After Prince John was buried, Olivia, who had been busy for several days, suddenly passed out when she returned to Campbell's mansion in London.

Seeing her like this, Carl and Edgar were both terrified, and they could only send her back to the room in a hurry while calling for a doctor.

After hearing the doctor say that Olivia had been pregnant for three months and that she had fainted suddenly because of being too tired recently, Karl and Edgar were a little relieved.

Edgar hurried to share the good news with Eleanor and the children, while Carl stayed by Olivia's bedside.

It didn't take long for Olivia to wake up, and Carl immediately sat on the side of the bed, and told her that she was three months pregnant while feeding her water.

Although this is the second time that Olivia is pregnant, Karl still looks very happy, muttering that she had better stay in the UK for one or two months, and return to the United States when the baby is finished. Livia raised her hand to caress her belly and fell into deep thought. After a while, she asked, "If this baby is a boy, I hope to name him John, is that okay, Karl? "

Knowing that she has a good relationship with Prince John, Karl did not object. He took her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, "Of course, my dear, you are the mother of the child. I hope he can have yours." Blonde hair, become a blond little angel like His Royal Highness!"

I don't know if it's because of the emotionally rich relationship due to pregnancy, or because I suppressed my feelings for too long because of the members of the royal family, Olivia, who was nestled in his arms, had red eyes, "Thank you."

"You never need to say that word to me, honey."

Noticing her abnormality, Carl lowered his head and kissed her lips again. After the long kiss was over, he looked at her and smiled and said, "If it's a girl, then we'll call her Darlene, this John The name can be saved for the next one.”

Since she hoped to call John's son to commemorate Prince John, she also hoped to have a daughter, so Olivia didn't mind having a third child, but asked a little puzzled: "Why are you called Prince John?" Darlene?"

"Because this name occupied my heart for two whole months, and it's also your middle name, I hope our girls can be as beautiful and smart as you."

After discussing the names, Carl began to talk about what he wanted to teach their children, which country he wanted to take them on a family trip, and which manor he wanted to buy as a summer resort...

Because the tone of his narration was relaxed and full of expectation, Olivia, who was still a little sad, suddenly felt a lot better.

Accompanied by Carl's voice, Olivia couldn't help thinking that even though she lost her cousin Anthony and her most beloved cousin John after several generations in the royal family one after another in the past few years, her husband, her Her child, her dear brother and his family, and her other relatives are still by her side, and the in-laws who caused her most headaches were pressured by her uncle Henry and included in the Titanic by the White Star Line staff. In the list of victims of the USS, Stephanie will never cause her and her family any trouble again, and she feels that she should be content, stop mourning the loss of people and things, and learn to appreciate the present moment.

Due to being too tired, Olivia began to fall asleep after thinking about it, and before she was about to fall into a deep sleep, she suddenly called out: "Carl..."

Hearing her call, Carl immediately replied, "What's the matter, honey?"

"Help me bring Osmond here, I haven't been with him for several days."

"Okay honey." After a moment of hesitation, Carl gently put her on the bed and left the room.

Drowsy, she heard Osment calling her mother, she felt Osment get into her arms, and she also felt Karl hug her from behind her.

Such warm hugs, big and small, made Olivia feel very satisfied. After lowering her head and kissing the top of Osmond's head in her arms, she closed her eyes and let herself fall into a dream.

The author has something to say:

I have no more thoughts when I write here, so I can only end here in the end

In fact, I still want to write some episodes, like a reversed episode: If Olivia couldn’t turn the tide and the Campbell’s family was going downhill, Olivia who wanted to maintain the glory of the family could only choose to find a new one for herself. Rich husband, but because the Campbells' situation is not as miserable as the Hockleys', Olivia and Carl are on an equal footing... But I have no idea how it will end, so I just let it go.

I’m really sorry for everyone who followed the article. I’m really not in a good state of writing this time. I didn’t think about it and make an outline before writing the article. I’m really sorry.

In my vision, the fanfare should be short paragraphs, but every time I write it, the number of words explodes (I am an unqualified joker), so I can only write chapters

The conception of Fanwai was also not smooth, and finally came up with an idea, but after writing more than 1000 words, I didn’t know how to answer it, so I had to delete it and rewrite it.Then I wrote more than 500 words, but I felt wrong, so I deleted it and started again

Because tonight is a full-day game, I don't think I can concentrate on writing the rest, so I will do a half-up first, I'm really sorry everyone
