Chapter 56: Five years ago was a joke?
Kevin’s luck was really good. Although there were guests staying in the room opposite and next door to room 2806, there was no one booked in room 2817 diagonally opposite, so Kevin booked this room.
Kevin got to the room and moved a chair to sit by the door, of course, the door is not completely open, just leave a gap to let people notice, although the angle is not very good, but as long as the door of room 2806 opened, he can see.
And at that moment, in room 2806, Elena was sitting uncomfortably on the sofa, Fred Garner wanted to sit next to Elena, but she was deliberately next to Aaron, as if intentionally trying to avoid Fred Garner.
“Honey, are you angry?” Fred Garner winked at Aaron as he spoke, telling him to leave.
Aaron had just moved his hips when Elena tugged on his arm, clearly not letting him leave.
“Honey, I miss you so much and am worried about your injury, did you have any discomfort with the wound after such a long ride?” Fred Garner saw Aaron, who was being tugged by Elena, fidgeting, and had to switch sides and sit next to Elena on the arm of the couch.
“No, I’m not mad, it’s just that it’s so late, what is it that you need to see me about a hundred thousand things?” Elena took a deep breath, looked up at Fred Garner, and tried very hard to hold up a smile.
“That’s good, wife, then should I officially go and pay my respects to my father-in-law and mother-in-law tomorrow.” Fred Garner asked very gently with his hand on Elena’s shoulder.
Upon hearing this, Elena stood up excitedly and said loudly, “No.”
“Honey, I should have met my father-in-law and mother-in-law five years ago, as the saying goes, an ugly son-in-law always has to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law, besides, I should be able to get by with my looks, and we have to be on the right side of the family, right?” Fred Garner rubbed his face with one hand and smiled with a narcissistic face.
“Here’s the thing, I’ve already introduced Aaron to my parents today, so you can’t meet now, it’s not too late to see me later after I slowly explain to my parents.” Elena stammered, although this reason was a bit far-fetched, it was the truth.
“Yeah, Fred, sorry, I met Elena’s parents on your behalf first today and they seem to be very happy with me as their son-in-law.” Aaron then testified for Elena’s words.
Fred Garner’s anger rose and he said to Aaron in a warning tone, “Aaron, I just asked you to send Elena back, I didn’t ask you to impersonate Elena’s boyfriend.”
“Please, you can’t take personal revenge, I didn’t mean to, as soon as I entered The Costa family, Rebecca looked at me with the eyes of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.” Aaron risked a confession, saw Fred Garner’s harsh eyes glaring over, shuddered lightly and said sharply, “But it’s okay, Elena’s brother knows I’m a fake, if you really want to meet the in-laws, I believe ……”
“Shut up, Aaron, you go out first, Elena and I have some issues to communicate.” Fred Garner glared at Aaron and saw that he had no intention of leaving, so he had to kick him out himself.
“No Fred, you have the opposite sex don’t brother, this is a hotel, you can’t make me stand outside the door with a penalty, at most I’ll go inside.” Aaron appropriate to ease the tension, made a face and said.
“You go get another room, Elena and I may have to communicate all night tonight, you go ahead and sleep.” Fred Garner said nonchalantly.
“Ah! That’s not very nice, although you are an old couple, but I see Elena she seems ……”
“Shut up,” Elena and Fred Garner said at the same time.
“Well, I’m not going to bother you guys, I’m going to take a break.” Aaron cheekily went in the direction of the door.
“Aaron, you are not allowed to leave.” Elena, however, shouted behind him.
Aaron’s body was stunned, slowly turned his head to look at Elena and said with a bitter face, “Elena, the boss wants me to leave now”
“Didn’t you say you were taking me to Siberia?” Elena said in words only Aaron could understand.
“Missy, I ……” Aaron looked like he was going to cry, and at that moment Fred Garner glared over, “Boss, if Elena and I don’t go back at night, Uncle, Auntie will worry.”
Hearing Elena’s implied threat, Aaron turned around and slowly walked back.
“Yeah, Fred, let’s talk about meeting my parents later, or you and Aaron go back tomorrow first, my mom wants me to spend more time with her, so please allow me to take an extra month off.” Elena and Aaron sang in unison, trying to fool Fred Garner.
In fact, when she went out, Elena didn’t think she would be so repulsed to be alone with Fred Garner. It was just that after hearing Aaron’s words, she couldn’t control herself from thinking about it.
She is afraid that she will not be able to control to ask Fred Garner. will ask him why he agreed to sign, will ask him and the first love has no contact again, and will even ask him if he has any feelings for her. There are too many questions, too many worries and even some fears, fears that the children will be exposed, fears of losing any of the children, or even two.
“Well, um, what else? Can you tell me what you’re mumbling about?” Fred Garner was visibly upset, yesterday they were fine, but in just over ten hours Elena was like a different person, he couldn’t stand her being so hot and cold, it made him uneasy, and he even had a feeling of impending loss.
“Fred, I’m really tired from the morning meal and the afternoon shopping, why don’t I try to explain to my parents tomorrow and you can come back to my house then.” Elena grabbed her forehead, at this time, she had a vague headache.
“Boss, don’t get me wrong, it’s not just the two of us, there’s Kevin,” Aaron explained immediately when he saw Fred Garner’s eyes sweep over.
“Elena, five years ago, did you follow him and leave?” Fred Garner listened to the word Kevin and couldn’t help but remember that five years ago, all of this today, was because of Kevin.
If he hadn’t forcibly taken Elena from the hotel in the first place, they wouldn’t have been separated, and if he hadn’t brought Elena to America, he and Elena wouldn’t have been separated for five years.
He hated Kevin, hated the fact that he was Elena’s brother, and now, as soon as Elena came home, he followed her around with the obvious purpose.
Fred Garner regretted that he should never have approved Elena’s leave, should never have let Elena come back.
“Fred, do you ever feel like we were child’s play back then?” Elena sat down and seemed to be remembering what it was like to meet Fred Garner.
“No, although I thought I had met a psycho at that time, but from your eyes, I saw sincerity, I saw longing, longing for marriage, longing for relief, and, I was in that state, you insisted on marrying me, enough to show that you are not the kind of superficial girl who judges people by their appearance, or the kind of nymphomaniac who is bent on marrying a high roller, I believe you will be a good wife. I believe we will be very happy ……”
The first thing you need to do is to get a good idea of what you’re getting into.
“Fred, thank you, these five years, it proved that I can not be a good wife.” Elena smiled bitterly, she originally thought there was love between them, but now she realized that love is so hard when it is said to be beautiful.
“Ahem, I’d better go get a room and stay here for the night.” Aaron knew the atmosphere was a little off, but he could not do anything about it, it was his fault for being too talkative, originally, Fred and Elena feelings should not be there, but before his long-windedness obviously made Elena heart change.
Elena did not stop, in fact this will be her heart is very messy, there is a saying is a good point, the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment. Besides, she longed for love, even when she dragged Fred Garner to register, but at the bottom of her heart, she still longed for a marriage with love, as Fred Garner just said, she really longed for marriage.
After Aaron left, Fred Garner saw Elena’s silence, so he sat down next to her, held her hand and asked as if comforting, “Elena, is it that your parents don’t approve of us being together?”
“I didn’t talk to them about it, and my parents haven’t brought it up again, they seem to have forgotten about five years ago, or maybe they thought it was just a farce at first.” Elena tried to pull her hand out, her heart actually sank a little when she said that. At this point, she was conflicted, not knowing whether to continue pretending she didn’t know, or to ask for clarification.
“But your brother remembers right? Elena, one thing, you went to America with him five years ago, and then why did you go to Italy by yourself?” Fred Garner looked at Elena and noticed the strange look on Elena’s face when Kevin was mentioned, especially when it came to five years ago.
“I studied fashion design, and I was better off in Italy.”
“Wouldn’t Paris be better? Elena we are a couple, if there is anything, tell me, let me share it for you, okay?” Fred Garner pressed one hand over Elena’s head and let her lean on his shoulder.
“I’ve actually been looking for my mom, Fred, and I want to quit.” Elena said with difficulty.
“You have a location for your mother?” Fred Garner was slightly stunned and a little surprised that in all the time we had been reunited, this was the first time Elena had mentioned her mother.
“Yes, I’ve been repulsed, but after meeting my family today, I decided to see her, or at least I need to know why she abandoned me back then.” Elena drew her hand out and moved a little to her right.
“Honey, did your family say something today? Or did your brother say something? Didn’t we agree to start over?” Fred Garner didn’t push any further, releasing Elena he tried to find out.
He had expectations about this marriage, and the fact that Elena had changed so much back and forth only meant that something must have happened in those ten hours or so that he didn’t know about.
“Fred, I’m sorry, five years ago, I keep forgetting to ask you a question, are you …… before we registered our marriage, are you ……” Elena stammered I can’t say it, I always feel that this question is a bit here and there.
Seeing Elena’s look, Fred Garner had some understanding, he took Elena’s words, “You want to ask me if I have a girlfriend, right?”
“I was so naive that I forgot to ask you. In fact, you are so handsome and in such a good condition, you should have a girlfriend, right?” Elena smiled uncomfortably, her hand didn’t even know where to put it.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
