[Titanic] I can't help myself

That night, after changing his pajamas, Carl arrived as scheduled, got into my bed with ease and hugged me.

"Little villain, sneak out to meet people you shouldn't meet, right?" He bit my ear, and seduced me with a deep, sexy voice, "In the afternoon, you What did you say to her?"

I paused, then turned to look at him: "Her? Who are you referring to?"

Carl bit my lip, and said frankly, "Of course it's that poor Miss Elizabeth Longley."

"You won't be following me again." I couldn't laugh or cry.

"I just saw the invitation card from that woman by accident." He stood up and looked down at me from above, "Tell me, honey, what are you talking about, if you don't understand this question, I will have trouble sleeping Ann."

"Nothing. Really." I said, touching his face, "As you can imagine, she wanted to be the Countess of Richmond. But I refused her." I added this quickly to calm his emotions .

He leaned down and kissed my nose, "God, I'm so happy with this result..."

"Do you hate her that much?" I said with a smile.

"I just simply hate any woman who has plans for you." As he said, he spread thin and thick kisses on my cheek, and then he seemed to realize something, and then said, "I'm not Would like you to marry, my dear, if only you knew..."

"I've thought it through, I won't get married." I stretched out my arms and hugged his neck, "How about the news?"

He blinked: "No, no, sweetheart, there's no need to be like this, I'm just complaining, nothing else..."

"It's not just for you, Karl, it's also for myself. I thought about it for a long time and finally decided not to get married." I interrupted him and explained, "Look, what am I getting married for? It's to hide , and get a legal heir. So, regarding my future wife, how should I choose? Say nothing, like my father cheated on my mother, marry a woman who loves me, or find a woman who is willing to Benefits, the woman who maintains a nominal marriage with me?"

"If it's the former, it's too cruel. I'll have a bad conscience if I ruin the happiness of an innocent woman. But if it's the latter, I don't think I can let such a woman into me without any grievances." The life with you. Think about it, what kind of girl would willingly give up the possibility of having a husband who loves her and a complete and happy marriage, and waste her life in a marriage that is ostentatious , to serve as a birthing tool to see your husband with someone else and not be moved?"

Carl raised one eyebrow: "Like Miss Elizabeth."

"Yes. A woman must have a plan for me before she is willing to enter into such a marriage. Just like Miss Elizabeth, although I have helped her, I sympathize with her experience and appreciate her character, but I I dare not marry this kind of person. This kind of woman is too utilitarian, too ambitious, she is hypocritical and cunning, and she is quite cunning. With this kind of person as my wife, I will always worry about whether she will be in other places. If you betray me under the temptation of profit, will you take advantage of the countess's convenience to benefit her and hurt us? I can't control this kind of person, and I can't rest assured."

"Life is lived by myself, and I don't have to live it with guilt or fear. At least for now, I don't have the consciousness to sacrifice my life." I gently fiddled with his hair, " Besides, I'm still young. There are many gentlemen who don't get married until they are 40 or [-] years old, and there are not a few who never marry for life. And I think we still have enough time to think about how to solve the problem of heirs. There is always a way, a way The best of both worlds."

Carl looked at me deeply, then kissed my lips heavily.

-----------------------I am the scene dividing line-------------------- ---------------------

"Is that all you talked about yesterday?" Carl narrowed his eyes and lit a cigarette. "Don't try to deceive me, Miss Elizabeth."

"What reason do I have to lie to you? What good does it do me?" Miss Elizabeth smiled and picked up her teacup gracefully. "Every word I said happened yesterday. What I told Everything about you can be confirmed by Earl Richardmond."

Kalmer smoked the cigarette silently, and finally put the cigarette butt in the ashtray.

"I really envy you, Mr. Hockley. There is such a person who loves you so sincerely." Miss Elizabeth sighed, "This is simply a gift from God."

"I have always been favored by God." Carl lit another cigarette, "but I think that such a special lady like you should not envy these things. I always think that money, status, rights and Honor is what you want most."

Miss Elizabeth laughed softly: "You're right, those things are indeed more important to me. However, even a hard-hearted villain would still want a person who completely belongs to him physically and mentally. "

Carl nodded, took out a checkbook from the inner pocket of his suit, wrote a number on it, signed it, tore it off and handed it to her: "For your cooperation, tell me everything I want to know. This is your Pay, Miss Elizabeth."

Miss Elizabeth reached out to take the check, looked at the numbers, and smiled.

"Thank you very much for your generosity." She folded the check slowly and put it in her handbag, "You really saved my life."

Carl waved his hand and said nothing.

"Mr. Hockley." Miss Elizabeth tidied up her handbags, sat on the chair and looked up at him, "You may think this is ridiculous, but I firmly believe that one day in the future, we can also become equal partners."

"Then," Carl stood up, stubbed out the remaining half of the cigarette, and shook hands with her, "Like Henry, I wish you success as soon as possible."

On the way back to the mansion, Karl felt as if a balloon was inflating and rising in his heart, and gradually every corner was filled, and even his body became lighter.

It turned out that this was Henry's idea, to become a legal couple, introduce themselves to everyone in a fair manner, and finally be buried together.

The two people buried here, they loved each other all their lives.

Just thinking about this sentence in my heart makes people feel extremely warm.

He savored these words between his lips and tongue, and slowly made up his mind.

Back at the mansion, the first thing he did was to go to his mother's room: "Mom, I can't get married."

"What happened?" Mrs. Hockley's eyes widened. "Henry changed his mind? He doesn't want you to marry?"

Karl shook his head, and told Mrs. Hockley everything he heard from Miss Elizabeth and what Henry told him that night.

"I can't do this to him, it's not fair."

"But he also didn't guarantee that he would never get married." Mrs. Hockley said, "He is still young. If he repents in 20 years, he will only be in his 30s, but what about you? Can you wait?"

"I know all of this, maybe 20 years later he suddenly figured it out and is willing to get married, but at least now, I don't want to let him down, Mom." Carl's expression gradually softened, "I just thought about the upcoming I find it unbearable to have a woman with his surname. The pain seems to be out of breath, so what about him, how sad will he be when he sees me getting married?"

"But it's not like you won't get divorced!" Mrs. Hockley switched to Spanish and shouted in a low voice, "He can't get divorced once he gets married, but you are only married for a short period of time!"

"I can't bear it, Mom, I can't bear him being so sad. In order to give birth to a legal offspring, I need at least a year, and this year will be so unbearable for him." Carl sat beside Mrs. Hockley , took her hand, and said in Spanish, "Mom, Henry is willing to endure all this, but I can't pretend that I can't see his pain. I can't do this. Although a short-term marriage has legal offspring It can reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles, but this does not mean that there are no other ways. Are we doing less illegal things? There are always legal loopholes that can be exploited to allow illegal offspring to successfully obtain the right of inheritance. If I can't even cherish the person I love and not let him be wronged, I can't do this, what kind of man am I."

Mrs. Hockley frowned slightly, looked at her son's almost identical black eyes, and finally sighed.

"You are really like your father." She said softly, with a gentle smile on her face, "That's why I was willing to marry him. You know, if it was just for property, I had more choices than you at that time." Much more than imagined.”

"Thank you, Mom." Carl kissed his mother on the cheek.It was Mrs Hockley's concession.

"You are no longer a child who needs your parents to guide your every move, so you can solve your own affairs by yourself. As long as your mind is clear enough. I am just worried that you will get hurt." Mrs. Hockley said earnestly, "Having a young lover, although at the very beginning, a lover full of youth and vitality will make you feel very happy. You have a career, mature and attractive, and he adores you, looks up to you, loves you, But as time goes by, the gap between you will become bigger and bigger, you will start to age slowly, and he will become more and more conspicuous, especially someone with status and status like Henry .My child, at that time, if he wants to leave you, what will you do?"

Decades later... Carl had a scene in his head: he was gray-haired, and his Henry was at the most attractive age of a man, surrounded by all kinds of young and beautiful men and women ...

SHIT!Karl rubbed his brows, smiled helplessly, and looked at his mother: "Mom, even if what you said really happened, it will be decades later, and I am willing to believe him. How can I It's just possible that something that could happen in a year's time hurts him now."

Mrs. Hockley hugged her son: "I said so many things that annoy you, but I just want you to be happy. Now that you have made up your mind, I won't say anything else."

"We will be very happy." Carl patted Mrs. Hockley on the back, "Please rest assured."
