Chapter 1,678 A caged bird?(2/2)

He gradually became more and more relaxed and let go.

Speaking of which, I don't have any inferiority complex, just very calm, indifferent and casual.

But the more he is like this, the less likely he is to be looked down upon by others, and everyone else is amused by his free and easy attitude.

"Life is given by God. I don't intend to waste it. Things are unpredictable. I can only take things as they come. Here you go, Carl!" As he said this, Jack threw a lighter to Carl, who held it in his hand.

"Seize the time!" Jack said and raised his glass.

In fact, he was not as calm as he appeared. Mrs. Molly said immediately: "That makes sense!"

Others also joined in and raised their glasses to drink together.

The fact that Jack was not embarrassed obviously did not satisfy Carl and Rose's mother.

Later, when Jack was about to leave, Rose asked: "Do you have to go?"

"We slaves are going boating, good night Rose!" He kissed the hand again.

When shaking hands, she secretly hid a note that said he was waiting for her outside.

When Rose came out, Jack asked her: "Would you like to attend a real PARTY?"

The two of them came to the lower cabin area together, where the "poor people" were also holding their party.

There are not so many red tapes and not so many etiquettes that need to be paid attention to.

You don't need to use so many tableware to eat here, and there are no people to serve you. It's not that spacious, but the smiles on people's faces are real. They sing and dance casually, and talk to each other happily, without restraint!

This made Rose, who had been troubled by all kinds of etiquette, all kinds of hypocrisy, and all kinds of precautions, like a bird out of its cage.

Of course, Rose was a little at a loss at first, but under Jack's leadership, she danced with Jack in a dance she had never danced before, and drank swigs of cheap wine.

They won't feel rude if wine is spilled on you, and no one will ask you what your family does or which family you are the son of.

She completely released her inner wildness and did whatever she wanted. She even smoked men's cigarettes, lifted her skirts and performed ballet movements, laughing and playing as much as she wanted.

She laughed in Jack's arms and was clearly seen by the butler who was looking for her.

After the carnival, the free bird returned to the cage, but Karl knew all this and he was furious.

"My fiancée? Yes, she is still my wife. You said you should be loyal to me, just like a wife is loyal to her husband. No one else can play tricks on me. Isn't this clear enough?"

"No!" Rose was frightened. It was the first time she saw Karl so angry.

Later, Rose's mother also came to warn her: "Don't meet him again, do you understand?"

Rose didn't say a word, and her voice became stern: "Rose, you are not allowed to see him again!"

"Okay, don't be so angry!" Rose comforted.

But the mother said angrily: "Stop messing around, you know?"

"We are in a difficult situation, you know we have no money!"

"Of course I know, you remind me every day!" Rose looked at her mother and said.

"Your father left a lot of debt. Fortunately, his reputation is still there. This is all we have to rely on. I really don't understand you. Only if you marry him can we survive!" Rose's mother said with a sincere look.

But Rose didn't appreciate it at all: "This is too much responsibility!"

"Why are you so selfish?" Rose's mother said angrily.

"Am I selfish?" Rose asked her.

She was asked so hard that she couldn't stand down and could only play the emotional card: "Do you want to see me become a female worker? Do you want that? Do you want to watch our family sell off their property and leave us with nothing?"

As she spoke, she turned around and covered her mouth with a sad look.

Seeing her mother like this, Rose let out a long breath and said, "It's so unfair!"

"Of course it's not fair. We are a family of women. We can't just do whatever we want!"

At this point in the conversation between mother and daughter, it seems that Rose has accepted this unfairness.

Jack didn't know what happened to Rose. He wanted to come to her with great expectations, but was blocked by the guard at the door.

He thought it was because he was disheveled, so when he came to the deck, he secretly took other people's clothes.

At the same time, Rose was talking to Andrew, the ship's designer. She wondered if the lifeboats on the ship were not enough to accommodate the entire ship. Andrew told her that in fact, the lifeboats could only accommodate half of the people on the ship.

He said that if the latest boom was used, another row of lifeboats could be hung, but people said that would be too crowded and affect the beauty of the deck.

This is actually paving the way for the subsequent ship to sink but not enough people to be saved.

After Jack disguised himself, he secretly invited Rose to meet him.

Rose told him that they couldn't meet, but Jack persisted: "I have something to tell you!"

"Jack, I'm engaged. I want to marry Karl. I love Karl!" Rose said to him.

"Rose, you are not an easy person to get along with, and you are even a little pampered, but deep down, you are the most refined and nicest girl I have ever seen. I never knew it before, and I also know that people are so sophisticated. I only have ten of them.

Money, I have nothing to give you, I understand that, but I can't help myself anymore. If you dance, I will dance, remember? I have to make sure you are happy before I can turn around! I have no other requirements!" Jack said affectionately

He looked at Rose and said.

"I'm fine! I'm going to be fine! Really!"

"Really? I don't believe it! They have trapped you. If you don't break free, you will die. Maybe not now, because you are very strong, but sooner or later, the fire of my love will go out!

"Jack said, stroking Rose's face.

Rose held back her tears and said, "You can't save me, Jack!"

"You're right! Only you can save yourself!"

"I'm going back, don't look for me again!"
