save the bachelors

Chapter 4264 [Deeply Rooted in Love]

  In the evening, Karl also came to Rose's room with a piece of cake.

"You must be hungry. I brought you some pastries." He said to Rose with a smile.

"Take it back, I don't want to eat it." Rose refused firmly.

"Really?" Carl laughed and deliberately placed the pastries in front of Rose.

The freshly baked cheesecake exudes a very tempting aroma. For someone who has been hungry for two days, it is indeed an irresistible temptation.

But what Karl didn't know was that Rose hadn't been hungry at all during these two days. Xiang Nan had been bringing her food so that she could eat her fill.

Therefore, Karl's plan to lure her into submission with cakes was totally wrong.

"You don't have to use all these tricks. I don't want to eat it at all, and I will never give in." Rose said firmly.

Seeing that she didn’t even look at the pastries and was so determined, Karl couldn’t help but be surprised, “You have to think about it, I really took it away.”

"As you wish." Rose said coldly.

"Well, since you are so determined, I will tell you that no matter how much you insist, it will be useless." Seeing that Rose would rather die than surrender, Carl lost his patience and said viciously, "Even if I have to tie you up, I will tie you up and take you to Philadelphia for the wedding."

"I won't marry you." Rose responded sharply.

"Once you get to Philadelphia, it's out of your control." Carl sneered, "Do you think our Hockley family went from having nothing to becoming a steel tycoon? All this just happened by chance?"

Carl's father, Nathan Hockley, was also a poor man with nothing when he came to the United States. He made his first money by cheating and committing crimes.

He then invested in an ironworks and gradually gained controlling rights in the ironworks by suppressing and excluding his business partners.

They also gradually monopolized the local steel market and made huge profits by selling inferior products as high-quality ones, dumping at low prices, bribery and lobbying, etc.

Later, it grew and expanded step by step, and eventually became a giant in the American steel industry. It can be said that the rise of the Hockley family was inseparable from intrigue, conspiracy, and even murder.

For a naive person like Rose who thinks that because she has read a few books and has gained some knowledge, she advocates freedom, human rights and equality, and thinks that others will give in if she fights, the Hockley family has a hundred ways to teach her a lesson.

"Get out of here!" Rose heard his threat and couldn't help but scold him loudly.

Karl sneered and walked out with the cake.

……

"He is so abominable." After he left, Rose still couldn't help cursing.

"Don't be angry. Rich second-generations like him are like that. They think that just having a few bucks can make any woman fall in love with them." Xiang Nan lifted the illusion spell and reappeared, advising, "But he forgot a saying. Feelings are like sand in your hand. The tighter you hold it, the faster it will slip away."

"That makes sense." Rose agreed after hearing this.

"Come on, let's go outside for a walk." Xiang Nan said, "You've been stuck in the room for two days, I think you should be tired of it."

"Can I go out too?" Rose asked in surprise.

"Of course." Xiang Nan smiled, "Come with me."

Rose nodded and changed her clothes.

Xiang Nan then brought her to the door of the room, waved his hand, and the room opened immediately.

Rose couldn't help but admire him when she saw this.

Then, the two of them left the room, closed the door again, and came to the first-class deck.

It was dinner time and the first, second and third class passengers were all having dinner in the restaurant, so there was no one on the deck and it was very quiet.

At this time, the sun had just set, and the sky was filled with red clouds, which was very beautiful.

The warm yet cold sea breeze blew by, and although it was a bit cold, it gave people a refreshing feeling.

"Have you ever tried standing on the bow of the Titanic?" Xiang Nan asked with a smile.

Rose shook her head. "Come on." Xiang Nan took her hand and let her stand on the bow. "Don't be afraid. Trust me and go up slowly."

Rose nodded and let Xiang Nan take her to the bow and climb onto the railing above the bow.

At this moment, the ship's side was dozens of meters high under her feet. If she lost her footing and fell into the water, she would be smashed to pieces.

"Come on, open your arms~" Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm here~"

He said as he held Rose's waist.

Rose smiled and nodded, spreading her hands.

The cold wind passed through her armpits, making her feel as if she was floating.

"It's amazing~" she couldn't help laughing.

Xiang Nan smiled and nodded.

He had the same feeling of wonder when he stood on the bow of the Titanic for the first time.

"Come on, Josephine, jump on my aircraft and let's fly into the sky together~" Xiang Nan hummed in her ear.

Rose was even happier when she heard this.

She turned her head, looked at Xiang Nan, and then kissed him.

When they first met, she had a crush on Xiang Nan. Later, Xiang Nan rescued her from the sea, not only saving her life, but also taking her to Iceland, allowing her to see the beauty of the world.

Through this series of events, she has fallen deeply in love with him and cannot extricate herself.

Therefore, at this moment, in this situation, she finally couldn't suppress the excitement in her heart and took the first step boldly.

"Jack, I love you~" Rose said to Xiang Nan after a passionate kiss.

"Me too, I love you too." Xiang Nan nodded and said, "Rose, you are the most amazing and surprising girl I have ever seen. You are strong, independent, smart, and pure, and I love you like this."

Rose was also very happy to hear him say that.

……

The two then returned to the room.

"Jack, I want you to draw a picture for me, just like the ones you painted in France." Rose looked at Xiang Nan and said.

To be honest, she was still a little jealous of the one-legged French girl. She thought Xiang Nan must have liked her at first, otherwise he would not have drawn so many pictures just for her.

"Okay." Xiang Nan nodded.

"Can you help me open that safe?" Rose asked again, "I want to take something out of it."

Xiang Nan nodded, and under Rose's guidance, he came to the safe, then waved his hand, "Open the hole!"

With a click, the safe door opened.

I saw several stacks of brand new banknotes and a beautiful wooden box in the safe.

Rose took out the wooden box and opened it. Inside was an exquisite and beautiful necklace. The necklace was inlaid with a huge blue diamond, about the size of a walnut, in the shape of a heart, crystal clear and very precious.

"It's a nice necklace. It's a blue diamond, very rare." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"Yes, Louis XVI once inlaid it in his crown, but it was later stolen. They cut it into a heart shape and named it 'Heart of the Ocean'. Karl spent a lot of money to buy it and planned to let me wear it at my wedding." Rose explained.

"So that's how it is. He thinks of himself as Louis XVI." Xiang Nan said with a smile.

"I want you to paint me while I wear this necklace," Rose said. "Only with this necklace..."
