[Titanic + Comprehensive] Annie

Facing the surprised eyes of the old housekeeper Richard, Annie took the "Aesop's Fables" bravely, ran upstairs in a hurry, and hid in her room to read.

When she went to find Parker yesterday morning, she found out that as soon as he received the news in the middle of the night, he asked the housekeeper for leave and went home to pick up Chuck, and he would not be back until at least three days later.

When Annie went to ask Richard to help find the book, she inquired about Parker's family by the way, and found out that Parker's father, Chuck, worked in a suburban estate called Portsmouth, southeast of Southampton. A few days ago When helping the manor to repair the roof, he accidentally fell from the top.

As soon as the employer heard that Chuck had broken his leg and was unable to work, he asked Chuck to go back to rest quickly. At the beginning, Chuck was very grateful to the employer for not disliking him from being injured and unable to work. It means to let him go back to his home to rest, and he doesn't have to come to work anymore.

Old Chuck knew in his heart that the employer probably couldn't compare with those 30-[-]-year-old boys because he was too old. This injury just gave the employer a good excuse to fire him.

Because old Chuck didn't know that his employer was going to fire him, so he didn't make any preparations. The person who came to take over the job was already waiting for his bed. He couldn't leave by himself because of his foot injury. He needed someone to help him drive the carriage. , so in the few days before Parker came to pick him up, he had to wrong him to sleep on the floor, and Old Chuck himself felt very sorry.Therefore, the temporary client hurriedly went to Robert Manor to inform his son Parker to pick him up, and the person who came to deliver the news was also unclear about the matter. Parker, who was extremely anxious when he heard that his father was injured, couldn't help running away that night. Go knock on the door of the old housekeeper and wake Richard up from his sleep.

Now old Chuck just waited for Parker to arrive, and left the manor with last month's salary settled by the employer and a little medical expenses.

Annie was a little speechless after hearing this, and it is not impossible to recover from a broken leg. Although Grandpa Chuck is a little older, it will take longer to recover, but I heard that Grandpa Chuck has worked in that manor for almost 30 years. Is it too ruthless to let him leave quickly regardless of his injury?I heard that it is best not to move the broken leg just after it is connected, otherwise it will be troublesome if it grows crooked!I can only pray that Uncle Parker can be more careful and pay more attention to his father's condition.

"So Uncle Parker is going to pick up Grandpa Chuck from Southampton?"

She remembered that Uncle Parker seemed to have a residence near Robert Manor?

Richard smiled slightly, touched Annie's fluffy and soft hair, and said, "Well, your Uncle Parker is going to pick up Grandpa Chuck home!"

They should all live here in the future. Old Chuck's wife has been dead for more than ten years, and his daughter Victoria has disappeared for a long time. Only his son Parker is left. Parker is not married yet. Old Chuck's injuries can only be taken care of by Parker. up.

Annie listened to the news, and only knew that old Chuck used to do manual labor in that manor, and didn't know if he had other specialties?It's strange to inquire too much about other people's private affairs at once, so I can only put this matter aside for the time being, and make plans when Uncle Parker brings him back.

Sighing, Annie put away her thoughts, lowered her head and concentrated on reading the books that the butler grandpa helped her select.

【Ding!A copy of "Aesop's Fables" was scanned. According to the system detection, the content of this book is rich in philosophical thoughts and life experience. Do you want to read it? 】

【Yes! 】

Before reading a book, the system will test it first, so Annie doesn't have to be afraid of seeing an unapproved book.Of course, if the test does not meet the system requirements, the system will not force it to say that it cannot be viewed, but it cannot complete the task.Anne has been wondering about one thing in her heart: if she reads some books that teach people to do bad things, how will the system react?Wouldn't that stop her from reading too?

However, are there any books in the world that teach people to do bad things?

With doubts, Annie plunged into the world in the book.Two hours later, she closed the last page of the book, and she heard the system's voice prompting the completion of the task.

With a sigh of relief, Anne put the book back on the bookcase, and planned to go to Robert and Lily's study to see if there were any books that were eligible. It was a bit uncomfortable to ask Grandpa Richard to find books for her these two days. Sorry.

So far, she has read seven books, all of which are simple and not heavy children's books. The meaning conveyed by some books is really interesting, but if it is not for the task, she probably wouldn't even read them. She will look through it, who told her that she has already lived the life of a child twice, so she has not even read some familiar books in her previous life. After Robert bought them for her, she put them on the bookshelf directly. Systematic and re-acquainted with those books only to find that even though she knew the name of the book, she could not remember the content of the book for a long time, so each book is a new story for her, so she read it with gusto Yes, it's not that hard to complete the task.

Yesterday, I was made fun of when serving tea with healthy water to Robert and Lily. They had already heard that Annie was helpful and looking for children's books at home in the past two days.

"Annie, did you learn something from children's books, so you are so "filial" to Robert and me?" Lily raised the teacup in her hand with a smirk, took a sip of tea, and narrowed her green eyes slightly She stood up and exclaimed, "Not to mention, drinking your "filial piety" tea, my sister feels very comfortable today!" Lily usually doesn't call herself her sister, but today she probably said that deliberately to highlight Annie's behavior.

Robert also felt that after drinking this cup of post-dinner tea, the fatigue of the day was reduced a lot. "Tell me! Is there anything you need to ask us for help?"

Although Annie is well-behaved, such a doggy attitude is really suspicious.

Looking back on my sister's recent life, I didn't find anything special?

Brother Carrot dragged all the good people and good deeds that Annie helped others all morning to the dog leg.

Annie said proudly that the tea was brewed too much, so she poured two cups because she didn't want to waste it and asked someone to drink it for her.

After speaking, he waved his sleeves and left without a cloud.

It feels very stylish, very chic, is it there?

Brother Carrot and Sister Lily who were left behind looked at each other in blank dismay.

"Did you hear that Anne is in trouble recently?" Robert put down his tea cup, wondering if he didn't care too much about his sister recently, and this time he couldn't get the real purpose behind his sister's courtship? !

Lily looked back at Robert blankly: "No, I just heard that she was looking for a book to read."

The two of them couldn't figure out why they came here, but they both let the old housekeeper take the lead. If Annie wanted to read a book, both of them could go in their study room by themselves, so there was no need to ask for permission.

Annie, who came out of her brother and sister's study, was disappointed to find that she was not very interested in the rest of the books. Robert's room was a bunch of xx economics and YY theories; Lily's study was similar, but there were more women's magazines and coincidences. Hand makeup and similar books.

Annie was not interested in the former, but Annie tried the latter and found that it was not recognized by the system.

Sighing helplessly, Annie was going to go out to fetch books in person today, but in order to save money, she decided to go to the library of Hartley College first.

Annie in her previous life also had an older brother. When her elder brother went to study in the UK, their family had carefully checked the information. This Hartley College was also among them. In fact, it was the predecessor of the University of Southampton. In the 21st century, there were seven universities in Southampton University. Libraries, the largest of which is the Hartley Library. As for the number of books in the library introduced in the introduction, she no longer remembers, let her come and have a look today.

Thinking about her previous life made Annie feel a little depressed. Even if she rarely went out, she looked like a frost-beaten eggplant. In the end, she borrowed seven or eight books in the library and left, not in the mood to stay. Walking around the campus, I just feel that the college occupies a large area.

Aibelson, the driver who took Annie out, looked at the dull look of the lady, and carefully suggested to Annie that she should come out once in a while and go for a walk, otherwise, it would be better to have a cup of coffee and a piece of cake.

Anne accepted Aibelson's suggestion, and she was alone when she went home, so she asked Aibelson to pull over on the street, took a book by herself, and found a cafe with clean windows along the road to pass the time.

I ordered a cup of latte and watched the store bring up a drink with a picture of a bear painted on milk. I didn't want to stir it up for a while, so I added a blueberry cheesecake and put it aside with a few handmade biscuits. Sitting in the corner of the coffee shop, he slowly read the biscuits in one hand and the book in the other.

After the noisy voice came from the place near the door, Annie withdrew from the world in the book, took a few sips of the coffee that had been unknowingly drunk while reading, and borrowed the rim of the cup to Only then did she raise her eyes to look at the place where the quarrel took place.

Annie's sitting position is a bit hidden, the table is just behind a pot of houseplants, and it's not easy for people in front to notice her. She just needs to poke her head out a little to see the situation clearly.

Seeing this, Annie was very surprised to find that among the four people who had a dispute, she actually knew two of them!Isn't that the very famous fiancée who looks incompatible and has never been together? Even if you are engaged, you still want to find true love? Even if the ship sinks, you want to kill your fiance first?

Carl and Rose were standing face to face, and there was a man she didn't know beside each of them, one was standing beside Rose as a flower protector, and the other was following Carl, who seemed to be his entourage or housekeeper?

These four people are facing each other in pairs!

What the hell happened?

Rose and a man with a violin case were originally seated diagonally in front of Anne's right, so Anne just adjusted the angle slightly to take everything in front of her eyes into view.

Carl originally wanted to hold Rose's hand and take him out for a conversation, but Rose was obviously unwilling to cooperate with him, so she took two steps back, widening the distance between the two of them, silently refusing the proposal to leave the coffee shop .

There was no other way, the furious brown-haired capitalist had no choice but to stand where he was, staring at his fiancée who was vaguely opposed to him.

"Rose, I thought you knew we were about to get engaged?" Carl suppressed his anger, and tried his best to rationally question the prospective fiancée who was obviously dating a man.

He and the Bookett family have already negotiated an agreement, and there is only a public ceremony to be held.

Carl's voice was very low, and he was obviously worried that this was a public place. If Annie's seat wasn't nearby, he probably wouldn't be able to hear what Carl was saying.

Anne: Oh, it has developed to the point of getting engaged?

The young man standing next to Rose obviously didn't know who Carl Hockley was, and he didn't know that the furious man standing in front of him was the heir to the Pittsburgh steel magnate, a wealthy businessman, and it was the beautiful man next to him. Lady's fiancé.But he felt that no matter who this hideous man was, he should behave like a gentleman instead of yelling at this beautiful and insightful woman next to him. She shouldn't be treated like this!

Thinking of this, the man who was standing next to Rose took a step forward to block Rose behind him during Carl's angry questioning, and bravely straightened his back to face the fierce capitalist, and said: To defend the music elf I newly met today: "Sir, I don't think you should have such an attitude towards a lady."

Annie, who was on the sidelines, nodded: Enen, Karl looks really scary at this moment, not at all as easy to get along with as he was in the club last time.

But it's understandable!Annie rubbed her chin: Which man can calm down when he encounters a situation like arresting a female gangster?Even if you don't love that woman, a man will be extremely excited when it comes to the color of the hat on his head

At this moment, Carl set aside some attention to observe the intervener between him and Rose: a beige shirt washed many times, a suit style from three years ago, leather shoes that have not been maintained diligently, and a worn-out violin The box, as well as, has a pretty good face!

An inferior boy with no money, status, or status!

"Hey! Who are you?" Carl raised his chin, and examined the young man in front of him from head to toe, "A down-and-out violinist? You have to carry a dilapidated violin on the street every day, and keep playing your music in order to earn a meager amount of money." What is your daily income? Can you make enough money to drink coffee here? Or do you take the money my fiancee "rewards" you and bring my fiancee here for coffee?"

I have to say that Karl's eyes and tone are really good at pulling hatred. After being swept away by his eyes looking at the rats and bugs in the sewage ditch, and then listening to his contemptuous tone, he was still calm His handsome and masculine hands trembled a little.

Annie: Whoa!With such a vicious eloquence, coupled with that face of a capitalist who makes his hands itchy and want to beat him up, can he really make a deal?Wouldn't the collaborators be scared away seeing his gesture like this?Well!wrong!Robert seems to have a cooperative relationship with this capitalist who has a full hatred skill point in front of him... Moreover, his attitude towards himself is quite good, it seems that he is watching people order dishes!

Annie touched her nose, and continued to watch the drama in front of her in silence.

Seeing this situation, Rose lost the good mood of encountering the talented violinist. She reached out and took the young man's hand to encourage him, signaling that she was on his side, "Carl, you can't rely on You insult people like this when you have money! You must apologize to this gentleman!"

Carl Hockley thought he heard the biggest joke of the century!

Seeing his fiancée defending other men, his anger has soared to a new level!

"You want me to apologize to him?" Carl stared sharply at Rose holding the hands of other men, and said mockingly: "Dear Rose, you want me to ask someone who is dating and kissing my fiancée?" The man apologized?"

Rose didn't expect Carl to speak out like this in public, so she couldn't help but blushed and retorted loudly: "We're not dating! In fact, I'm not in a good mood today, so I went for a walk. Today is It was the first time I met Vladimir in the square, oh! Vladimir is this gentleman, he played the violin very artistically and beautifully, I like it very much, so I invited him to the coffee shop to talk about music .

We just agree on the point of view, and we are just discussing beautiful notes. You, a businessman who only understands copper, can't understand the beauty of art at all. Can't I find other people to discuss with you? Rose took a breath after a series of words sputtered, and she ignored the latter question about kissing.

"Discuss music?" Carl asked coldly, "Discuss with kisses?"

Carl, who was maddened by Rose's answer, finally ignored that this was a public place, and brought up the scene of stabbing his eyes as soon as he entered the door again--Rose let the wild man's stinky mouth stick to her with a slight smile Bright red lips!

Does this woman really have a sense of their impending engagement ceremony?

Kissing other men so indifferently, does she really like herself?

Seeing Carl bring up the topic she subconsciously avoided again, Rose felt a little hissed in her heart.

She admitted that when the conversation was very heated just now, she felt a little moved by this talented and ideal man, so when he approached her, she hesitated for a moment, so it was too late to avoid it, but she quickly remembered her In terms of identity, she actually wanted to push that man away just now, and she didn't really want to do anything out of the ordinary!Why is Carl Hockley so obsessed with this?

Turning her mind around, Rose replied sharply: "You think that others are just like you because of your dirty mind! We are not kissing at all, but etiquette!"

"Etiquette? Ha!" Carl snorted.

etiquette?Two people who kiss mouth to mouth when they meet for the first time is also called etiquette?Is it called a kiss when you stick out your tongues into each other's mouth?

If he didn't show up, maybe the two of them could go to a hotel to open a room and have sex!

Rose, who was still a little short of breath, was stimulated by Carl's attitude, and her waist immediately stiffened: "It's etiquette! Vladimir is Russian, this is their etiquette! You can't just because you don't understand others Our culture and customs misunderstand us like this!"

Overwhelmed by anger, Carl gradually calmed down. Following Rose's explanation, his eyes gradually turned indifferent. For the first time, he reflected on whether his engagement with the girl in front of him was the right choice?

He thought that helping the Bookett family pay off their debts would make Rose behave better, and he was grateful that he pulled their mother and daughter out of the quagmire.He thought that giving Rose everything she wanted would make Rose fall in love with him deeply!Clothes, jewellery, paintings, anything she wanted, he would send to her, hoping that the relationship between them would heat up!

A woman, as long as she truly loves a man, she will consider him wholeheartedly and give everything for him. In this way, the warm family of his dream will soon come true!

Rose is indeed very difficult to tame. Before, he used Lily from Robert's family to stimulate Rose, which made Rose soften a lot. He thought that Rose fell in love with him to some extent, and the rest will slowly pass through time. Cultivating a deep relationship is enough. Who knew that after confirming the date and place of the engagement, Rose actually returned to the original unruly personality, and even got worse!

Is it because the two families are already discussing marriage, so she is confident?

Carl raised the corners of his lips coldly, and instead of being filled with anger, his brown pupils seemed calm, "Etiquette? I hope you can maintain such etiquette when you see the bills from the Bucket family." Go kiss any man who understands art, not me, a businessman who only understands money!"

When Rose heard the bill, she flinched for a moment. She thought of her mother's faceless crying and screaming, and then, as if to give herself courage, she shouted louder and more sternly to Carl: "I have already agreed to marry you. Here it is, what else do you want?"

Carl looked at Rose indifferently, this face was still very beautiful even when he was excited, he thought, this beautiful face is pleasing, the owner of the face is flamboyant and independent, he originally felt that this kind of challenge It's quite exciting. He is also very satisfied with this woman's figure. She has big breasts and thick buttocks. She should look good in the hand, but she dares to openly flirt with other men behind his back in broad daylight!

He wanted to give his child a warm and normal family, but this woman might not be able to do it - even if he has great kindness to her family!

Rose was a little afraid of Carl's eyes at this time, he had never looked at her like this before!

Ruthless and cold!It was as if she was facing a ferocious and emotionless wolf!

But she thought again, she was right, she had already agreed to sell the rest of her life to him for the Bucket family, so he should be content!Doesn't she even have the freedom to associate with men at all?

"What else do I want? Ha!" Carl spit out the sentence slowly, word by word: "Rose? If you want to get married, let your mother teach you how to be a good Mrs. Hockley, if you don’t want to get married, just send someone to tell you, Mrs. Hockley doesn’t have to be you!”

After speaking, Carl turned around and left without waiting for Rose's response.

He hasn't officially held an engagement ceremony with this woman, and she is not yet the real Mrs. Hockley, so he can barely restrain himself from such a humiliating behavior outside!

The moment he turned around and left the coffee shop, the calm Karl? Capitalist? Hockley instinctively began to calculate the harm this incident would bring to him and his family, and how he should deal with the various events that followed. kind of situation.

Rose, who was left in the coffee shop, looked at Carl's back, trembling with anger, her lips turned white. Was Carl Hockley's last sentence accusing her of being uneducated?

Fuck uneducated!

Did he think that if she compromised with his mother to be engaged to him, he could confine her at home and raise her in a cage like a canary?

Stop dreaming!She will never compromise with anyone on this point!no way!
