After Mike-Jeffrey told the Hawkes and his wife about the Bell family of three, he didn't get the response he imagined.
Robert Hawks still ignores it. For him, his daughter was gone when he eloped twenty-five years ago. According to his character, it is impossible for him to admit that he was wrong. What's more, with age, stubbornness definitely increases unabated. Jenny Hawks shed tears when she found out. She originally wanted to find Catherine Bell. The Bell family of three were no longer unknown at that time, and it was not difficult to find them at all.
But this time, before Robert Hawkes stopped her, Jenny Hawkes had already understood a fact: as early as twenty-four years ago, when her daughter came to Savile Row with her child for help, she indifferently wiped When the shoulders pass, their fate has actually been broken. Otherwise, "Jiforth and Hawkes" has been staying at No. 1 Savile Row all these years, and fashion boutiques have opened all over the world, why would Catherine Bell not come back?
Regardless of resentment, anger, oblivion, or strangeness, in fact, Katherine Bell's stubbornness is still the same as Robert Hawkes's. Eleven dry cleaners opened on the boundary of the land, and then it has been until today. Even though the two Bell brothers have grown up now, and their broad shoulders have carried the burden of the whole family, Catherine Bell's inner spirit has never slackened. If someone dared to bully her child, she would still Like a fierce lioness, protecting her cubs.
For twenty-five years, Robert Hawkes has never given birth to a daughter, Jenny Hawkes misses her daughter but does nothing, Mike Jeffrey can't find any clues, and Catherine Bell's resentment is gone. It's important, the life that blood has brought her has been cut off in the streets of Savile Row, and she proudly starts a second life, a life that only exists in Teddy and Evan's two sons, this short life. twenty-five years of his life, without Savile Row and without William Bell.
After thinking about it all, Jenny Hawks gave up, because she knew that her biggest mistake was not letting Katherine Bell run away from home, but when Katherine Bell came back a year later, she couldn't cheer up. Courage to defy her husband, reach out and grab her daughter who has turned back. Letting go that time also allowed the blood and kinship that will never cease to be frozen in the world, and then become weaker and weaker as time goes by.
Family love, like all relationships in the world, needs to be managed. It is said that the gift of birth is inferior to the love of nurture. This is the truth. Love needs to get along, fit, cultivate, and brew. Love is like this, friendship is like this, and family love is like this. Twenty-five years after seeing each other, apart from the so-called blood relationship, what else is left? Not to mention the two grandchildren who have never met since they were born. For Teddy and Evan, the so-called grandfather and grandmother is just a symbol, without any meaning, because there is no "love" between them. , How come the affection. Strangers, probably.
After Jenny Hawkes understood her mistake, she wanted to blame her husband, but she didn't have the ability, because Robert Hawkes' stubbornness would never change. Twenty-five years ago, she failed to convince her husband. , twenty-five years later, still the same.
Even if she can blame her husband, she has no strength to blame others, because her fault is irreparable. She is an accomplice standing by her husband's side, and there is no possibility of escaping responsibility.
After repeatedly confirming with Mike Jeffrey that the Bell family of three lives happily, Jenny Hawkes never brought up the topic of the Bell family again, everything was just like the past 25 years of life. It's just that Jenny Hawks's body is getting worse and worse, and minor illnesses are constantly taking place throughout the year. Unfortunately, there is still no great improvement.
On March 6th this year, Jenny Hawkes went to the cinema to watch a movie. After coming back, she had a great meal in a good mood. In the evening, she chatted with Robert Hawkes about going to the next month. On vacation in Manchester, I went to bed before nine o'clock and fell asleep quickly. But this time, Jenny Hawks never woke up.
"I think that Jenny should be watching 'Sunny Little Beauty' that day. Although she didn't say it, she has been paying attention to your affairs silently over the past few years." Mike-Jeffrey used a calm tone Speaking of which, there is no too special emotion in the emotions, just quietly stating such a story.
Catherine Bell's eyes turned red again, and crystal tears were swirling in the eye sockets.
Who is to blame for these twenty-five years of blankness?
Catherine Bell knew that it was her own will at the time, not listening to her parents' persuasion, and persistently choosing to go far away with William. No matter whether her parents came out to find her or not, even if her parents found her, she would not be young and energetic. wrong. After Teddy was born, she would go back to find her parents. In fact, it was a sign of bowing her head. It was wrong for her parents to not respond, but they had persuaded herself, and she stubbornly chose to elope without listening to the persuasion. Who is to blame for this? Later, William's departure - now I finally know that it was an accident, but I didn't know it back then, I just thought that I had misunderstood the person, but I had to be reluctant to admit my mistake. Only then did she choose to draw wages from the bottom of the pot, leave her hometown, and cut off all her escape routes, and then she walked into the unknown distance without looking back.
So, in the 25 years of blankness, everyone is at fault, Robert's stubbornness and domineering, Jenny's laissez-faire and cowardice, Catherine's stubbornness and extreme... It's wrong to just blame any party. But everyone is wrong, but that does not mean that the facts can be changed. The gaps in the past few years cannot be filled by filling them. It's as if it's impossible for Catherine Bell to immediately return to No. 1 Savile Row. Perhaps, maintaining the status quo is the best choice, so neither Mike Jeffery nor Jenny Hawks went to the door to disturb the peace of the Bell family.
But Jenny Hawks just left, quietly. Thinking of this, Katherine Bell's inner turmoil rolled uncontrollably.
Evan Bell just sat beside his mother, and did not deliberately do anything or say anything to comfort her mother. No wonder her eyes were red and swollen when she saw Catherine Bell just now. No matter what happened in the past, Jenny Hawks has left this world and everything is gone, not to mention that Jenny Hawkes is at least the mother who raised Katherine Bell for seventeen years.
At this time, Catherine Bell's inner confusion, only she knows, even if he is her son, he can't understand, because "Jenny Hawks" is just a symbol to him.
Teddy Bell also leaned slightly in the direction of his mother. He looked at her mother at a loss, but he didn't know what to do.
Catherine Bell quickly sensed her son's worries about her, and clapped her son's hands with each other, signaling them not to worry. In fact, over the years, she has long been used to being strong, and tears are indeed uncommon. Today, hearing of her mother's death, her mood is inevitably a little surging. Mother, this word is indeed a little far away from Catherine Bell's life, and father, the memory is more profound, how can she forget that serious and stiff face day after day. Catherine Bell opened her mouth, but the question "Where's my father?" got stuck in her throat and couldn't say it.
Mike Jeffrey saw Catherine Bell's expression and immediately understood, he grew up with the little girl in front of him back then, "Rob is still the same, but he doesn't do handicraft anymore, his eyes don't. Hello, I'm watching him blowing his beard and staring next to him. Last time he tried to cut a handkerchief, but he couldn't even see the scale on the tape measure. He didn't count his own hands. I'm done." Mike Jeffrey scolded his old friend, appearing a little gloating.
Robert Hawks, this man who has been strong, stubborn and domineering all his life, was finally defeated in the confrontation with the power of time. Thinking about it carefully, Catherine Bell is also forty-five years old this year, and Robert Hawks is sixty-nine years old, and it is only a step away from the seventy-year-old.
Katherine Bell twitched the corners of her mouth revealed a faint smile, but did not respond to the part about Robert Hawks in Mike Jeffrey's words, just said, "Mike you It's getting old, so you still have to pay attention to your eyes."
Hearing this concern, Mike-Jeffrey laughed out loud, "Little Katie, I can't do anything in my life except a tailor, you tell me not to do handicraft, don't you just let me retire. Old bones, if I retire, I don't know what to do." Although Mike Jeffrey was smiling, the loneliness in his eyes could not be restrained. Mike Jeffrey was single all his life, without a wife or children, and without his tailoring skills, he should be at a loss. It's just that he doesn't want to be useless, so he has been sticking to hand-stitching suits.
Mike-Jeffrey looked at the graceful and elegant woman in front of him, bathed in the thin noon sunshine outside the window, and in a trance, he seemed to have seen the young and lively face thirty years ago. Time flies, and "Little Katie" has grown into a radiant woman and a mother of two children. As for him, he has already entered the second half of his life, and his silver-white hair has long lost his youthful demeanor.
"Mike, I want to pay my respects to my mother, okay?" Catherine Bell raised her eyes and said seriously.
