Chapter 938: Reunion at Sea Fifteen
The upper class of the corrupt country is actually very small, and almost everyone knows it, and even if they don't know it, they have heard the name. Therefore, the guests of the stateroom are all familiar with each other, and they will greet each other when they see each other, and they will sit together and chat if they have a good relationship.
Owen and Edward also sat next to a few people, their business partners, and a few people chatted while eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. But it didn't take long for this harmonious atmosphere to be broken by some.
With the voice, several people looked towards a table. I don't know what the people at the table were talking about, it seemed to anger Miss Daisy, who ran out of the restaurant alone, regardless of her fiancé's face and the call of her parents.
The two business partners were dumbfounded, they knew Miss Daisy, in their eyes, Miss Daisy was an elegant and polite aristocratic lady, how could she behave so impolitely?
Edward smiled: "Maybe it's because the sea is vast, and people's hearts become open-minded, so Miss Daisy naturally releases her true nature." ”
Impoliteness is in the nature of a noble lady?
Is this a boastful word?
The corners of their lips twitched at the lips of both business partners.
Owen spoke: "Miss Daisy's affairs are in the hands of Mr. Howard, so we don't have to worry about it. ”
The other three laughed, withdrew their gaze from the figure that Mr. Howard had chased out at the door of the restaurant, and began to talk merrily while eating.
Life at sea is quite boring, and the scenery of the sea is not new after looking at it for a long time. Dinner parties and balls were held on board, but because of the small number of guests, they were more boring than those held in London. Owen didn't go to the ball, and spent most of his time sitting on the deck looking at the scenery or reading a book, but Edward was actively involved in the ball, so he asked for a lot of gossip to share with his friends - although there were very few things happening on the ship, when they did, they would definitely arouse everyone's interest.
"Hey, I'm telling you, that guy Howard was pried into the corner." Edward gloated beside Owen and said, "Knowing that Daisy is a restless person, she has not yet had an engagement with her fiancé, so she actively cuckolded Howard." Howard personally led people to catch the rape and blocked Daisy and her lover in *******. Oh, you don't know, this Miss Daisy's waist is actually bigger after she is not bound by the tights. Take the so-called good figure, tsk......"
Owen added some milk and sugar to his black tea, stirred it slowly with a silver spoon, and asked, "Have you seen Miss Daisy's good figure with your own eyes?" ”
"Uh, no, I heard from someone." Edward said, "The people who saw Miss Daisy's figure, apart from her lover and fiancé, were some servants and crew members, all of whom were inferior. Now, the story of Miss Daisy stealing from her lover behind her fiancé's back has spread to the second and third classes. Miss Daisy is really famous. If Howard doesn't marry her, no one will marry her. Her reputation in high society must have stinked. ”
"What? Is Mr. Howard still going to marry Miss Daisy? Owen was surprised. Such a big green hat, Mr. Howard can swallow his anger and wear it?
Edward cut off and said, "In high society, is there less such a thing as stealing from a lover behind a husband/wife's back?" Some couples are looking for their own lovers. Everyone knows it. The marriage between the Daisy family and the Howard family is more for the exchange of interests and each gets what they need, and the Howard family wants to become a real nobleman through the Daisy family, so naturally they will not give up this marriage contract. Even if Howard is dissatisfied, he can only endure it, but his attitude towards Miss Daisy will be different in the future. But this is also Miss Daisy's own search, do you know who she is looking for? ”
Owen shook his head.
Edward told him: "He is a poor man of the third class, and he really looks down on other good things besides good looks." Do you think there is something wrong with this Miss Daisy, that she has a crush on such a good-for-nothing man? Although I look down on Howard, I have to admit that Howard has a good business talent, he looks okay, and his family is rich, which is the difference between heaven and earth compared to that poor boy. Miss Daisy's eyes must be blind to have no gems and grit. ”
Owen took a sip of the smooth milk tea and swallowed it, "I think it's because that person is very handsome." You know, although most women in this world love money, there are also women who value their looks more than money. ”
Edward shrank back, making room for the waiter who served coffee, and waiting for the waiter to put down the coffee cup and leave, he leaned forward again, and said, "Generally, women who love to value their looks are rich and have the confidence to pursue men's appearances. And Miss Daisy...... Hehe. ”
"I want to ...... In addition to his appearance, that person still has advantages. Owen's gaze looked down.
Edward followed his line of sight, and saw that on the deck below, two young men and women, who seemed to be lovers, were crying out joyfully to the distant sea.
Owen spoke again: "This man has the enthusiasm and uninhibition that aristocratic men do not have, which is a fatal attraction to Miss Daisy, who yearns for freedom in her bones. ”
Edward looked at the poor boy from head to toe and said, "Sure enough, he is very handsome, and in appearance, he is completely better than Howard." But they're presumptuous, aren't they? Could it be that after being caught by Howard, Miss Daisy felt that the problem was on the bright side, and she didn't care about it or give face to her fiancé? Such a woman is really unbearable. ”
Owen said: "I think Miss Daisy is trying to force Howard to break off the marriage between the two of them, Miss Daisy seems to be in love with this gentleman from a bad background, she doesn't want to continue the marriage contract with Howard without feelings, she wants to pursue her own happiness." ”
"Stupid woman." Edward said sarcastically, "She can't see her family's situation clearly. Without the Howard family, her family would have truly fallen. Of course, at that time, she could only marry her lover. But such a young lady who has been pampered since childhood, can get used to a life of poverty? ”
"When love comes, you can't see reality clearly." Owen put down his teacup and retracted his gaze, "If you're bored, you can draft the documents for working with the Carlton Company, and don't always put your mind on irrelevant men and women." It's enough to look at the joke, don't anger the protagonist of the joke because of the joke, I don't want to have a business war with the Howard Company yet. ”
