Great Artist

Evan Bell had no intention of concealing Catherine Bell, so he spoke out about his experiences in London.

Including the matter of returning to the former residence, after learning that the dry cleaner opened by the gypsy was destroyed, Teddy Bell's eyes flashed, the fist of his right hand could not help clenching tightly, and Catherine Bell's eyes were slightly Astonishment, there is some relief, but more is indifferent.

After listening to the story of Evan-Bell meeting with Mike-Jeffrey, Catherine-Bell was silent for a while, then stood up, left the kitchen, walked to the sofa in the hall and sat down. Evan-Bell and Teddy-Bell looked at each other, Evan-Bell followed and walked into the hall, Teddy-Bell poured a cup of hot water, and then sat down beside Catherine-Bell.

When the glass cup and the table top of the coffee table contacted, there was a crisp porcelain collision sound, and only the curling heat of the glass cup was floating in the hall, which became more and more quiet. The sunlight was mottled outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, and as time passed, it gradually disappeared from sight, and then hung high above the head.

"Twenty-one years, I haven't seen them for twenty-one years." Catherine Bell finally spoke, her voice was trembling, you could hear the fragility and tiredness inside. But neither Evan Bell nor Teddy Bell made a sound. They knew that their mother would not be knocked down so easily. All they had to do was to stand firm by her side, and that was enough.

Twenty-one years? That is to say, in the year Teddy Bell was born, Catherine Bell still met Hawksford!

Catherine Bell looked at the two children beside her, and pulled out a bitter smile, "I have never mentioned these things to you, because I always feel that the relationship has been put aside, and I have nothing but blood relationship with them. Contact. What's more, the so-called blood relationship has long been broken. Therefore, I don't think it is necessary to mention it."

"Mom, it's okay." Evan Bell patted Catherine Bell's right hand lightly. "There are three of us in our house, so it's complete, isn't it?" Teddy Bell didn't speak, just covered his hand On Catherine Bell's left hand, she calmed down the ups and downs in her mother's heart with the warmth of her palm.

Katherine Bell smiled wider. "Yes, as long as there are three of us, our family is complete. However, I think at least you should know what happened in the past." Katherine Bell's surname before she got married It was indeed Hawkes, Catherine-Hawkes, the little girl of "Geforth and Hawkes" at No. 1 Savile Row. Her father, Robert Hawkes, a traditional London gentleman, fell in love with Li Zhen, a young girl from China. In Britain in the 1950s, such an exotic relationship was not as easy as it is now. After a lot of folds, they supported each other and came together.

Maybe it’s because of the old-fashioned and conservative thinking, maybe it’s because of a lot of hardships in love when I was young, maybe it’s because I cherish my daughter, so I have been strict with women since I was a child. I started taking needles and thread at the age of four. It was Mike Jeffrey, the old tailor in "Geforth and Hawkes."

After Robert-Hawks got married, ォ started to take over the time-honored "Hawks" from his father. By the early 1970s, ォ had officially become the head of this century-old family. Another time-honored brand "Jifusi" merged to form "Jifusi and Hawks". This merger of noses not only means that the scale of the tailor shop becomes larger, but also means that the business scope and reputation are expanded, and it also means that the business is busy.

Since he was busy taking over the family business and focusing on expanding the family business, after Robert-Hawks and Jenny-Hawks got married, Li Zhen also took her husband's surname and had a standard English name Jenny Hawks. very busy. Jenny Hawkes is a senior tailor herself, and her craftsmanship is no less than that of her husband. This is also an important reason why the two of them were able to convince Robert Hawkes' stubborn and stubborn father to come together.

In contrast, the two couples cannot help but neglect their daughter's discipline, which is an inevitable situation. Therefore, when Catherine-Hawks fell in love with a strange man, the two couples felt that it was a little late. At that time, Catherine-Hawks was already deeply rooted in love.

Robert-Hawks firmly opposed, because the man who fell in love with Catherine-Hawks at the time looked like a poor man, he was just an apprentice tailor, and even the good skin was suave and suave. The appearance of provoking trouble everywhere, coupled with the stubbornness and stubbornness in Robert Hawkes' bones, it is impossible for him to admit his mistakes because he is busy with his career and neglects his concern for his daughter, so there is no room for manoeuvre, Robert-Hawks said he would never agree.

At that time, Jenny Hawks actually had a soft heart and wanted to fulfill her daughter. After all, her love journey with her husband came through in this way. But recalling the hardships the two couples endured along the way, coupled with their love for their daughter, the most important thing is that the husband's masculinity decisively decided everything, and Jenny Hodons also stood on the right side of her daughter.

Quarrel, resist, plead, rebel, decide...

The outcome of things couldn't be clearer. Catherine-Hawks ran away and became Lady Bell.

After getting married, in the first year, Catherine Bell was naturally high-minded and unwilling to go home, but after giving birth to Teddy Bell, she finally understood the hearts of her parents, and they were for their own good. On the one hand, it is the youthful self-esteem, and on the other hand, it is the compassion after understanding the mother. After weighing it, Catherine Bell returned to Savile Row with her baby after Teddy Bell turned one year old.

Perhaps because of her timidity, Catherine Bell stood at the intersection of Savile Row and hesitated. Although Belf has lived in Greenwich, London for the past two years, one is in the city center and the other is in the suburbs, and there is no intersection, so Catherine Bell is still at a loss.

"I was standing at the intersection of the street at that time. I remember that the cloud layer was very thick that day, and the sky was so dark that it seemed like it would collapse at any time." It weighs thousands of pounds, and I can't take a step forward. I stood at the street for fifteen minutes, and I took the first step." From Catherine Bell's voice, she could hear her struggle at that time. .

"Just then, they appeared..." Having said this, Catherine Bell paused, she hadn't addressed them in twenty years, she didn't know what words to use, my parents? Your grandfather and grandmother? Or Hawksf fu? "As soon as they came out, they saw me standing on the street. I was holding Teddy and wearing a long cotton skirt, like a female worker in a factory." Thinking of her initial embarrassment, Catherine Bell smiled. He smiled, his smile full of bitterness, "They stopped, ten yards in front of me."

Catherine Bell finally didn't know what to call it and had to use "them" instead.

Evan Bell knew the result, and now to guess the process, he did not know what happened on Savile Row at that time. But at that time Catherine Bell had realized her mistake and took the first step of reconciliation, and she was still holding Teddy Bell, the grandson of Hawksffu.

"Let's stand face to face for about a minute, just look at each other like this. They don't seem to know how to react." Catherine Bell's eyes were a little wet, but she quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. , don't let herself have a chance to cry, she is no longer the little girl who didn't understand anything twenty years ago. "Teddy seemed to be hungry at that time and started to cry. I came back to my senses and prepared to appease Teddy. Then I saw them start walking towards me. My heart was beating so fast, my voice seemed to be stuck in my throat, I didn't know what to say, and I couldn't make any sound. I realized then, This is the first time Teddy has seen his grandfather and grandmother." Catherine Bell finally said this title, but the two Bell brothers did not respond at all. For them, this title is just a title without any practical significance. .

"So, I took another step forward. If I don't know what to say, I will show it with practical actions." Catherine Bell has calmed down at this time, her voice is no longer trembling, and her mood has returned to normal. "However, they Just passed me like this, no scolding, no joy, no reaction, just passed me like this..."

Catherine-Bell took the first step of reconciliation, but was so indifferently ignored by Hawkesf. No matter what the considerations of Hawksford's fu at the time, face? indignation? Outraged? sad? Or reserved? But as a result, their passing, completely dissipated the courage that Catherine Bell mustered up, and vanished.

After that, whether it was the birth of Evan Bell or the hardships of life, even in the face of the oppression of the gypsy fu, Catherine Bell did not have the heart to ask for help. Twenty years have passed since that time passed.

"No matter what happened after that, I just know that our family, with me, Teddy, and Evan, is complete.

In the past 20 years, we have supported us like this, and in the next 20 or 30 years, we will continue to walk like this, won't we? "Catherine Bell held the pair in her arms and said with a smile, "Saville Row, that is a very distant memory."

I can't even remember what the alley of that street looked like. "Evan-Bell closed his eyes, everything from twenty years ago had faded away in his mind, leaving only a vague shadow. He knew that Catherine-Bell felt the same way.

Katherine, Teddy and Evan, this is the Bell family, the whole family. ! .
