titanic heart painting
Chapter 14 Conflict...
In the early morning, Rose sat in the gazebo and sketched with her drawing board in her arms.The Hawley family is indeed one of the richest people in the United States. The back garden of the main house includes a hill and a farm. The garden for landscape use is already as big as a maze. It is exquisitely designed, although the traces of artificial carving are too Heavy, but it has to be said to be a beautiful sight.
"Baby, what are you doing?" Carl hugged Rose from behind and whispered in her ear.
"I'm drawing, I don't know how to read by myself." Rose replied angrily, she was really depressed these days, she put down the drawing board, and said seriously, "I just have something to tell you, you are free now ?"
It has been a week since the two were rescued. During this week, the two did not have much contact.Carl was busy with his work. Although his subordinates did not make any major mistakes during his absence for more than a month, there were still many matters that she had to deal with personally.
And Rose is also very busy. As the future hostess, she needs to be familiar with a lot of management expenses, various house matters, social relations with other ladies, and a series of things. Before that, the housekeeper's wife managed everything in an orderly manner, but as the future mistress of the house, if Rose didn't do anything, it would only make people gossip.
But Rose can see very clearly that even though her intelligence and adaptability can make her a qualified hostess, she doesn't enjoy the life of this kind of lady.
When you wake up in the morning, you have to listen to the butler’s report on your work one by one. When you are free, you have to dress up to attend various luncheons, dinners, afternoon teas, and dances. It's hard to look directly at her thoughts. They talk about gossip and men all the time, and they compare with luxurious food and clothing. Because of the difference in status of their husbands, they move around offensively and defensively. It's so lively.
Rose's performance these days is very good, completely in line with what a lady should look like, but she also knows that no matter how good she can do, the things she doesn't like just don't like them. For these things, a trusted management team was hired to be responsible for the operation and public relations of her gallery and the management and operation of various art institutions inherited from her parents.
Because she knows that even if she forces herself, she can indeed do a good job in management and operation, but when doing things she doesn't like, people will never get happiness.
Since she has the ability to hire others, why not let herself free her hands, write and draw every day, run around the world to collect stories, and do something that she enjoys.
"Okay, go ahead." Carl saw Rose's serious face, and sat beside her with a frown.
"Let's break off the engagement." Rose said, looking into Carl's eyes.
"What are you talking about? You..." Carl's eyes widened in disbelief, his heart seemed to have been punched hard for a moment, he couldn't imagine Rose leaving his life, he subconsciously Refuse to think about it again.
"Don't be angry," Rose tapped Carl's angry thin lips with her index finger, and shook her head, "Let me finish my words first, and you can make a judgment later, okay?
You see, over the past few days, I have done many things that a qualified hostess needs to do, and then I understand that this is not the life for me. Even if I barely stay, neither of us will be happy in the end ,do you understand?
I can see that your work is the thing that gives you the most sense of accomplishment. Even when you are exhausted, when correcting official documents or doing work, your eyes are full of excitement, so you should be able to understand, what? This kind of work can give me a sense of accomplishment... It can be said that until now, the only way I have felt happy and full of sense of accomplishment since I was a child is painting.
I know you might want to say that there is no conflict between the two. I can be a qualified lady and paint in my spare time, but if you think about it carefully, is that really the case?
Painting is something that requires a state of mind. A lady who is immersed in flattery and vanity comparisons all day long, no matter how talented and determined she is, she will never be able to draw something when her mind is clear.
So I thought, I'm not the one you need, am I?
If my guess is correct, you proposed because you thought I was determined, strong and full of enthusiasm, and suitable for being the mistress of a large family. I think your idea is very good, but what you imagined That person is not me." Not even the original owner, Rose continued the second half of the sentence in her heart, "I am just a painter who immerses all my enthusiasm in painting. I don't have the idea and enthusiasm to Be a perfect lady, you're a really good man, but I'm not a woman who can be a lady, I'm done. "
Karl looked at Rose silently, without speaking for a long time, Rose also looked indifferently, looking back at him quietly, her eyes traced the outline of this man who had known him for less than two months, even if she proposed to cancel Marriage, and it cannot be denied that this is an excellent man. His appearance is not the sunny and handsome boy who is flourishing nowadays. The hard and straight lines weaken his handsomeness and highlight his coldness and arrogance. He is also a twisted and arrogant but gentle husband.
If Rose hadn't thought about it rationally for a night before she was completely fascinated by him, maybe she would change herself willingly and become a hostess who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him, but she was still a selfish person after all, Such a great thing as self-sacrifice still failed to happen to her.
"Oh, it's nothing to do with me, but have you ever thought about what will happen to your mother and your family?" Karl raised the corners of his lips insincerely, and said coldly, as if saying these words could calm the complicated feelings in his heart. "Don't tell me you forgot, the reason why your mother agreed to marry you to me in the first place."
"This is my business." Rose smiled lightly, leaned on the pillars of the gazebo, pointed lazily at the paintbrush and drawing board in her hand, and said, "I haven't been idle these days. In the communication with people, I have also roughly figured out the current fashion trend. Even if my paintings cannot be sold due to fame, there will always be women who do not love the beautifully designed clothes. Especially, this is the United States, even if They say they don’t like the Brits, but I think there are still a lot of people who would love the things designed by the British.”
"You..." Carl looked at this woman who exudes strong confidence even in home clothes, and he didn't know what to say for a while. He felt that he really couldn't understand the woman in front of him at all, and wanted to say that she was too naive , It is not easy for a woman to make a career by herself in this era, but looking at her expression, I feel that if it is her, it may be possible.
"Then, that's it, take care." Rose gently embraced Carl's neck, and pressed a light kiss on the corner of his lips. Although there were regrets and sadness, there was no regret. Educated women are essentially different. Love and marriage are only a part of life, far from the whole of life. If you force yourself to obtain the so-called happiness, is it really happiness?
"You're leaving now." Carl said softly with no expression on his face. He frowned and kept his arms around Rose's waist, stiffly.
"Well, I've already looked for a house, and I don't have any luggage. I'll leave after I change my clothes."
Carl took a deep breath and said fiercely: "I didn't promise to terminate the engagement, don't think too much! Three years, I will only give you three years, and I will not care about you in these three years Life and death, if you fail, come back obediently, if you do what you said... I agree to cancel, how about it?" No one said that after canceling, you can't pursue it again, right? Karl thinks he is really smart, No matter which result it is, it is the same for him. A good businessman should know that the more the wine is put, the more mellow it will be.
"That's what you said, don't play tricks." Rose pouted, looked up at Carl and said, "Hmph, I will definitely do it, and I will let you dissolve the engagement willingly."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait. But how about we have a meal together before leaving? I'll have someone take you there in the afternoon. As for Mrs. Bucket, let her rest in the manor. I have one more person here. Not much, don't run around with you." Carl patted Rose's hair, and said with a relaxed smile, he is a businessman, so he can't lose money, right?
Rose frowned and thought about it, yes, she can endure hardships, and it was the same when her career started. Although food and clothing are not worrying about, the bitterness in it is not humane. How could the noble lady withstand the various grievances in the early stage of her business? Besides, she could not impose her thoughts on Mrs. Bucket. She took a deep look at Karl, and his eyes were full of sincerity.
"Okay, that's really troublesome for you, thank you." Rose lowered her head, although she said she wanted to live the life she wanted, but in the end she still had to rely on his help.
"Baby, what are you doing?" Carl hugged Rose from behind and whispered in her ear.
"I'm drawing, I don't know how to read by myself." Rose replied angrily, she was really depressed these days, she put down the drawing board, and said seriously, "I just have something to tell you, you are free now ?"
