Chapter 75 Elsie's Story - Lucky
Elsie's life went smoothly a little too far.
Many people think so, including his friend who rarely expresses emotion.
But like many lucky people, he was unaware of his luck most of the time.
A wealthy family, friends belonging to the same high society, a proud talent and the elite education he received from an early age made his attitude towards too many things a matter of course.
If he can jump out of his vision and see the part beyond the clues of himself, he will find that he may be just an insignificant character in this story-Ivan Sterling's best friend, Brad Gleeson's partner .
Even so, he still obtained many precious things too smoothly in this life.
From the moment of birth, his trajectory has been doomed.
At the age of ten, he would meet Ivan Sterling.
It was a not-so-interesting family reunion. As the youngest son of the Cook family, when he was introduced to his parents’ social circle as an independent individual, he didn’t get much scrutiny and other meanings. He just stood by himself honestly. The place to stay.He was bored, so he started searching around.
That was an overly quiet kid.At that time, Ivan Sterling had just returned to the Sterling family and hadn't learned how to be stingy
He used his natural ability to make people feel gentle and friendly, and the tall and tall figure of an adult and the temperament of a superior had not yet become an obstacle to this ability at that age.
His light brown hair is still slightly curled, and it has not been combed into an overly tidy and reserved look. At that time, he had not lost many things that he was about to lose, so his eyes were still gentle and quiet, like an unknown person. A small town far away from the metropolis, approaching a small piece of blue clear sky that is still clean under the dazzling golden light in the evening.
He took the initiative to step forward, so this is the beginning of him in this story.
At the age of 15, he would discover his sexuality.
His elder brother assumed most of the family's expectations and obligations, so what was left to him was a life of indulgence beyond following the family's plans.He attends club parties, occasionally trades stocks and securities for extra cash, and enjoys movies, stage plays, and extreme sports.In a later year, he even wondered how the overly energetic man could so naturally become the serious and serious man he is now.
Besides Ivan, they also often acted with Vincent, and the small circle of a few people was comfortable enough, so he discovered something else—he had never had a reasonable interest in women.But at the same time, it seemed to confirm the saying that birds of a feather flock together, and Vincent did the same.
He always thought that Ivan was the most normal one among the three, he was liked by everyone, except for the love and attention of Louis, the owner of Sterling, who was not very relaxed, he was also favored by girls.
Even if he wasn't maverick enough, or flamboyant enough, even if those were the qualities that young girls were looking for.But Ivan seems to have the instinct to deal with everything with ease and ease at a very young age.
He spent the shortest time, spent the most cynical, uninhibited, superficial and impetuous age that most people spend the most.But even Elsie, who almost grew up with him, can't tell clearly what girls like about Ivan. He thinks he is no worse than Ivan, but his infinite charm always seems to be in the same position as Ivan. The scene is weakened to a certain extent.
Ivan has never been too close to any girl. If he tries hard to screen out his inclinations, he seems to prefer girls with the same family background, excellent IQ and satisfactory EQ. It’s just like he chooses friends of the same sex vision.
He always thought that Ivan was just too mature, but there was always a girl who made him different.
Therefore, when Ivan told them about the existence of Locke Reed, he couldn't say he wasn't surprised.
Locke, Reed, a detective, casual life, middle-class background, although the appearance does have the charm of ignorant girls, but Ivan Sterling is by no means in the same category.But he still thinks he can understand it. It is often said that when you are in love with someone, even all previous speculations are overturned.And it also becomes understandable that Reed isn't who they thought he was.At least at the time, he thought so.
Things that happened many years later couldn't disturb his thinking, but at least for Elsie at the time, there were still many things worth worrying about.
He can't even remember when it started. His family is not closed, but his father obviously doesn't understand his frankness. After moving out of the family, he lived alone for a while.With the financial support of his mother and brothers and sisters, he, who was still living casually at the time, still maintained his previous standard of living.But in his blurred memory of being too comfortable because of no restraints, Ivan didn't go well that year.
He still learned from Vincent that Ivan's brother had given up his inheritance rights and left the Sterling family's manor.
Apparently that brother won't be Louis Sterling.
Louis Sterling, everything that this man has experienced has made him a person that no one can make him give up anything. The so-called relatives and friends of the family business and the mess left by his parents have all turned into tenacity and pride in his blood.He even believes that Tom Sterling's relinquishment of the inheritance is largely due to pressure from Louis Sterling, which is indeed the truth.
He was not even a teenager at that time, and there were more interesting things at the party after school, so he didn't take this matter to heart, and the affairs of the Sterling family did not give others the right to discuss it.To take a step back, he didn't have much impression of Tom Sterling. From Ivan's mouth, he had very few opportunities to come into contact with this name. The excessive softness of the family, and the excessive dependence on the family that can be hidden.
So he classified Tom Sterling as an irrelevant person for a long time.
He later understood that many things had started to happen many years ago, but it happened so quietly that he didn't notice many changes that he should have noticed.
Ivan left school that summer, and when he returned a month later he seemed unchanged, and Elsie missed her last chance to get to the deepest parts of the truth at the time.
Louis Sterling still supports the increasingly prosperous Sterling family with absolute control, and Tom Sterling also manages part of the Sterling family. Ivan, even if he doesn’t say it, Elsie will Noticed that he was starting to take over some tasks.The Sterling family is too powerful, and some businesses that are not seen by the sun naturally do not belong to the part that Elsie can inquire about at will. In their circle, everyone knows that the arms-fire-trade-trade The benefits are coveted, but not everyone has the strength to intervene.
At the age of 20, he met a man.At that time, he hadn't become what everyone is satisfied with now, but he was by no means just a playboy.As a fledgling, he has already made it clear what he wants to do in the future, and he has also started to seriously manage his social circle.During an unimportant date, he noticed a character on the stage, a young boy whose talent for dramatic performance had budding vitality and freshness in him.He believed that he was not the only one who noticed him, whether it was his appearance or temperament, so he had a premonition that he would be a promising actor.
But there are not many accidents in the world, and there are not many encounters that seem to be taken for granted and at the right time. That person just flashed by in the gap of his daze. In the following years, he even thought that he had already forgotten him and treat it as a fragmented memory that was thrown in a corner with some tenaciousness.
But like some strange laws, this memory will always pop up at a strange moment, with the original incomparably clear color and sound.
If it weren't for that explosion, it would indeed have been an extremely ordinary and boring year.
The Sterling family has lost a member of their family.Ivan Sterling's older brother and Louis Sterling's half-brother Tom Sterling.
For the first time, Tom Sterling became a real flesh-and-blood person in his consciousness and not just an insignificant symbol connected with his friends.
That was the first time Elsie Cook met Tom Sterling.It’s also amazing to say that they are obviously two closely related families, and they are obviously two relatively important family members. After Tom Sterling became a person who lived in the timeline of the past forever, he was the first to appear at the funeral. Met Tom Sterling for the first time.
Even the black and white colors make him look a little lonely and monotonous.
Before then, if he had been asked to pick the man who mattered most to Ivan Sterling, his answer would have been clearly Louis Sterling.
Lewis took him back to the Sterlings, gave him status and everything, gave him attention even if it was too oppressive.But he never thought of that person.
He had noticed Ivan's distaste for Tom Sterling at some point, and that was the first time he had felt such distinct emotions from Ivan.It's just that curiosity is too little in Elsie's genes, so it's just a faint spark of neurons in the brain on an unimportant day, and it disappears quickly.
Ivan began to become the current Ivan Sterling, reserved, with the majesty of Louis, deliberately retained the unrepressed intimacy of childhood, and the superficial gentleness unique to the superior.He's partial to gray things, and was obsessed with everything about that explosion for a while, and it's the same as the Sterling member who left after his relationship with Louis fell to a freezing point and quickly returned to normal Long buried underground.
Years later he would remember Ivan with Ida, Henry and Locke in the children's playground.
At that time, Ivan seemed very real, because the air floating around him began to show that he was not bound by his precisely planned self.He is sometimes very lucky that Ivan can meet Rock Reed, whether it is him who lost part of his memory, or Inspector Reed who suddenly lost his overly sunny and uninhibited personality after regaining his memory, because the one who once penetrated Ivan The people in Sterling's life are too silent and too distant to support this person who is full of stubbornness in his life through a long life.
He hadn't even understood the deep bond that held them together, or where their dependence on each other came from.The only thing he's sure of is that they're the ones who really feel right for each other.Just as he sometimes uncontrollably has some emotional thoughts that seem to be inconsistent with his own personality on a certain anniversary, he never knows his partner-the one who used to be on the stage of the Grand Theater and is now standing at the Golden Globe Did the man on the award podium have someone with deep memories before him?
For some reason, he suddenly thought of the person he only met once, who was said to have left abruptly after an ordinary gathering and disappeared in a small turbulent African country.Best friend of his husband, Brad Gleeson.Louis Sterling seems wary of him, and the recovery of Rock Reed's memory seems to have something to do with him, but anyway, remember, Elsie Cook is just an insignificant character, so this Everything has nothing to do with him.
So he never asked that question.
That's why I said that Elsie is indeed a lucky person, and God made everything go too smoothly for him.
The author has something to say:
Hope you remember who Elsie is (hahaha, I can't believe it myself), the guy who was on the set of Tom Going to Brad before, and the friend who was at the party with Ivan.
Elsie's husband, Brad, is a good friend of Tom Green, the host. Brad may have had feelings for Tom beyond friendship, but that was too short.
Even if Ivan, they will continue to have their own lives.
