Joey Gresham is a very smart American woman, Jack’s friend, and Professor Christopher Riley of Oxford University in the United Kingdom heard that she was Jack’s pen pal. "Soul", she was speechless and embarrassed by her words. "Professor Riley, as you said, I come from the United States, and different cultures have different ways of expressing it. I want to ask you how it is rude. Or is it just stupid?" Men who quarrel with women are the stupidest, because men often can't afford to hurt them. Communicating with smart women, even if it is trivial matters in life, often bursts with wisdom and full of philosophy. Therefore, interacting with smart women often makes men highly concentrated and nervous, because smart women often guess your "careful thinking" in advance. , So you must be straightforward and honest when interacting with smart women, and remember to be clever and hide anything, otherwise the "spotting the nail on the nail" anytime, anywhere will make you bruised and embarrassed.
Jack promised to help Joey obtain British citizenship and enjoy British national treatment through marriage. "A real marriage is a contract made before God, not a government official." This is a responsive help, not even a transaction. At the wedding registration site, there was no wedding ring, no blessings from relatives and friends. After leaving the city hall, the groom went to catch the train. Only the eldest son Vani accompanied the bride to a nearby tavern for a drink, or a treat for the younger sister-in-law. Everything "as if it never happened."
With the help of Jack, Joey was able to go to the site to observe the annual Oxford celebrations. The spectacular scenes in the academic world made Joey very excited, and Jack was very pleased. Although Jack and Joey are only nominal couples, Joey, like most women after marriage, began to expose his acrimonious side. He could not bear the grace, dignity, and loftyness that the nominal husband continued in front of him. Challenged his self-cultivation and the way of making friends, so that Jack was at a loss and caught off guard.
Joey was terminally ill and it was a big blow to Jack. It made him lose the focus of life. The about to lose Joey made Jack feel that he didn't love her and was ashamed of his wife. "I want to marry you before God and the world." Jack solemnly proposed to Joey. Joey listened to Jack's confession. Your needs, although I don’t know how to love, I love you deeply."
The religious wedding was held in front of the hospital bed, and there were still no relatives or friends. This time there was a wedding ring. "With this wedding ring, you will be tied to you; in my own body, you will respect and value you; with your treasures, I will give you everything." After marriage, the two enjoy the love and warmth of married life, the magical work of nature, feel happiness, and face the upcoming cruel reality more bravely. "The pain in the future is also part of the happiness of the present." However, religion can't save people's lives. Jack has lost my love, his dreams are shattered, religion and beliefs collapsed. The loss of a loved one, the feeling of pain and failure, decadence and despair, only time is the best comfort.
