forever rose

The man picked up a can of unknown, fragrant liquid and sprayed it on his hair a few times.

The taste was very sweet, and Jane felt very comfortable.So she put her head down and asked Diana to help her tidy up better.

After about a minute, Diana told her to look in the mirror.

Half of the blond hair was tied back, and the ribbon was fastened into a rather large bow.Jane thought she would like this hairstyle.

The family didn't think much of her, or so Jane thought.Her natural curly hair is difficult to handle, so every time you can see the slightly impatient expressions of the servants, Jane knows it, but she doesn't want to talk about it, so she wants to learn to do it herself, so that at least she doesn't have to be looked down upon every morning.But she won't tie...

However, the stepmother in front of her, her former tutor, helped her do it without any effort.

It's like magic!

Jane's eyes were full of confidence.

She turned her head slightly with her mouth turned up, and pulled Diana's clothes.

"Thank you, Mom."

mother...?

Diana was silent.

-------

"Tell me, Albert." Sitting on the sofa in the hall, Jane seriously asked the butler in front of her, "Why him?"

Albert brought a cup of tea for Jane and put it on the table, expressionless and silent.

"...I came here on my own initiative!" Jack interrupted the silence first.

"No one asked you to talk, Mr. Richard." Albert interrupted Jack, and slowly raised his head, looking at Jane with the same expression. "I sent him."

"why"

"He'll be a good doctor for your heart disease."

"Sir!" The butler's blunt and unreasonable voice frightened Jack. If you don't explain it well, it won't work for the lady!

Jane was silent for a while.Then she picked up the glass on the table and shook it vigorously with her whole arm, causing a lot of water to spill out.During the entire movement, his eyes never moved away from the butler.

Just as the rim of the cup was approaching the corner of her mouth, she swung the cup vigorously towards Albert.

Kuang Dang!

Although it was not strong enough to hit the butler, it still wet half of his body.

Shards of glass were scattered all over the place.

"I understand your insistence, Albert," she said, "but please don't forget that I have the freedom to choose to live or die."

Albert was clearly not offended, but that was what made Jack creepy.At this point Albert knelt down and cleaned up the debris with his bare hands.

"The year you were born, the master specially sent me to his side, and asked me to swear to take good care of you instead of him who is busy, for the rest of his life."

Jane looked down at the butler proudly.

"No injury, no illness. Even if you are sick, I will try my best to restore your health. This is the duty I have always had to fulfill, and it will not disappear with anyone's death. Miss, you are sick , and it is a heart disease that even the best doctor can't cure, and it will drag down your health. And this disease must be cured..." The housekeeper looked at Jane, "You must fall in love with him. No, at least , you should use his love for you to let go of your ex-wife."

"Al...Bert...!!" Jane gritted her teeth and growled the old man's name.Her face was pale, but her determined and angry eyes could not be concealed by it.

At this moment, Jack finally understood what the old man wanted to express after euphemistically explaining it for so long.

Diana is dead, please stop loving her.Jane.

－－－－－－－

(four years ago)

Jen started calling her "mother" rather than "mom" or "mummy" when she was 12 years old.

Diana admitted that when she saw the nine-year-old girl innocently calling her mum to act like a baby, she was really fascinated by her incomparable cuteness.

Although, no matter which of these three titles, Diana felt extremely depressed.This kind of relationship between mother and daughter can be regarded as very close, but Diana felt that it was far from enough.

No, not enough.is not right.

Her feelings for that child... I'm afraid it's not in the form of family affection.

Rather...

Just as he was thinking about it, the girl in the yard outside the window was smiling.Diana propped her head up, smiling slightly.She likes the child's delicate smile, which is a kind of happiness and redemption.

But at this time, another thing that should not appear appeared on the screen.

The boy came out from the other corner of the bed door, and jogged towards Jane's location.

"...Jack."

Diana clenched her fists so tight it felt like blood was about to ooze.But she didn't notice, because the man was now holding Jane's hand and whispering.

The two sat on their knees in the garden, unaware that her eyes were fixed on themselves.Afterwards, Jack seemed to say something to the girl, and Jane stayed where she was, and even the hand she was holding became weak.

Then, Jack kisses Jane.

Not a kiss, but a suspicious, tentative kiss.Jane leaned back slightly as Jack exerted her strength.

Diana slapped the table suddenly, and several servants hurried over, concerned about what happened to her?

what else...

How dare that boy do this!

Also don't think about Jen who is only 12 years old, he!What kind of mentality do you have to approach Jane! Animals like men have always been the best in betrayal!

Anger twisted the originally graceful woman, she didn't understand why she was so angry?Obviously it had nothing to do with her, but the cold sweat just kept breaking out, from the corners of the brows to the cheeks.At this moment, she couldn't stop and calmly think about where her huge malice came from. She just hated, hated the boy who kissed Jane openly.

Just as Diana was about to rush down to stop the dull two, Jane moved.

Much to Diana's relief.

She pushed Jack away and gave the boy a slap.

Diana stared at everything on the side of the bed in amazement, her tightly clenched hands gradually relaxed, her brows were no longer tense, and the cold sweat on her forehead was no longer flowing.

Jane then lashed out at Jack for something, but Diana hadn't bothered to read their lips, and that was enough punishment for her.She was no longer sullen, and because she calmed down and thought about the reason for her anger just now, she understood, instantly.

The whole world is quiet.

All quiet.

---------

Jack deeply believes that he has been the one who has been fooled from birth to the present.

First, he was kicked out of school by his elder brother to earn money to support the family on his behalf. Not long after, he was deceived by his friends and stole some of the money he had saved...

But it doesn't matter, because after being kicked out by the family, Miss Zhen took him in as a stray dog.

Worst of all, Jack fell in love with her.

There is no romance like that in the novel, just the feeling of pure attraction to the opposite sex in adolescence.But this feeling is seven years.

For seven whole years, he kept delusional that Jane would turn back in front, choose to run to him, and hug him.

But Jane had never done that, and of course, Jack knew it, it had never been possible.

So he was just like a follower, waiting for the girl to change her mind at any time.

Until, after that happened.He was forced to leave. In fact, he should be glad that he was not dealt with otherwise. Why should he stay? But Jack has always held hope.

Now, he finally stepped into the gate of Morrison's house again.

When Albert came to the door, he once asked him about the past.

"why me?"

Albert and him met in the coffee shop, and the overly bustling scene made Jack, who had been poor for a long time, feel uncomfortable.However, after listening to his question, Albert just took another sip of his freshly brewed coffee.

"You still like her, don't you?"

"..."

The old man sighed.

"Listen, Jack, I never forced you to take this job," Albert said, pulling out a pack of cigarettes, lighting one, and shaking the pack towards Jack.

Jack lit one, he now desperately needed nicotine to relieve his anxiety.

"If you really want to do it, you'd better quit smoking. Miss Jane won't fall in love with you under the smell of stinky smoke."

"ha......"

The two swallowed in silence for about a minute, as if to give each other a calm space, although Albert mainly wanted to do this.

Then Jack spoke.

"OK."

"...What"

"I said, yes. Sir, I promise you this."

"Oh..." Albert raised his eyebrows mischievously.

"What's the matter, didn't you ask me to do this?"

"Well, Mr. Richard, but that seems to be what you want too."

"..."

"May I ask a question?"

"Please say."

With his left hand folded on the table and a cigarette dangling in his right hand, the old man cautiously approached Jack.

"What did you and your ex-wife do?"

Jack slowly raised his head and looked back at Albert.

At that time, the two were doing like this, and they didn't say anything since Albert left the coffee shop.

what did you do

The answer to this question is downright nasty.

It was so disgusting that every time Jack thought about it, he wanted to turn his stomach out and empty out everything in it.

Diana then summoned him to her room.

In the middle of the night.

Jack remembered the crystal purple, lace dress-style underwear she was wearing.She summoned him without telling him to do anything, telling Jack to wait.

The blond hair was pouring down with the removal of the hair ornaments, and her hands were even playing and playing with them, but she still didn't look at Jack.

"Husband, madam, I should go outside first..." He realized Diana's abnormality, so he backed away slowly, put the doorknob on his left hand, and groped for the escape exit
