Chapter 14: Honey, don’t we go to your house?
“Honey, why don’t we go to your house?” Into the hotel, Elena just felt as if something is wrong. She wanted to call Fred Garner’s name, but can not remember it, she could only continue to use ‘husband’ instead.
“I don’t have a home, I’m staying here for now.” Fred Garner said with a sullen face.
Opening the door to his room, Fred Garner was in an even worse mood, and regretted his impulse in the morning. He felt that he had gotten himself into trouble so easily, and a big one at that.
“I’m sorry, I was a little overwhelmed for a moment. When I came home just now, I suddenly heard my mom and brother say that I wasn’t The Costa family’s child, and I …… I was so upset that I ran out.” Elena sniffled.
Now Fred Garner is like a lifesaver for her, she really does not know where to go except with him here. Besides Fred Garner appeared at the right time, and at a time she was in need.
“What? You, you mean you were adopted by your parents?” Fred Garner let go of the hand that had picked up the cup and it fell, hitting his foot without feeling any pain.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
He had the feeling he was being played, first Elena Costa said three dysfunctional weddings. Now a dogged adopted daughter. Could there be such a coincidence in the sky?
“No, listen to the conversation between my mother and my brother, it seems, it seems that I am my father’s illegitimate daughter, only adopted by my mother. That’s why my mother tried every possible way to marry me off, so no matter how well behaved I am, my mother still does not like me, ooooooooo …… I always thought I was the most fortunate person, now I know, I was not at all. Mom is simply using the hatred of her love rival to vent it on me. Since childhood, as long as she does not like things I do or do not do, even in my studies and the major I chose, they were made by her to help me make decisions. Even if a friend was looking for me, regardless of their sex, she will scold, and would not let me contact with them or with anyone …… ”
Elena is not an idiot, she was just in a bad mood before. Now that she had calmed down, it was obvious to feel the sting in Fred Garner’s words.
“Well, that’s all behind us, what are you going to do now?” Fred Garner looked at Elena. He wasn’t a naive teenager, and he didn’t think that with this one marriage certificate, they’d be a couple like millions of other married people.
“I-” Elena looked at Fred Garner, she was in a mess. She had no idea what to do, she didn’t even know where she should go. She had tens of thousands of dollars of belongings on her but she had never left home before.
“Well, no matter what, you are now my wife, you stay first, the rest we slowly consider, anyway, I will not leave here for a while.”
Fred Garner said helplessly, he was a man, he couldn’t just leave his woman on the street. Not to mention they now had a legal marriage license that they had ‘bought’ for nine dollars.
“Thank you, that’s very kind of you, I believe God still has eyes.” Elena looked at Fred Garner and was fortunate to have someone by her side in this time of grief.
Fred Garner flinched, then in silence, he had realized that he had become Elena Costa’s lifesaver, but he did not think it would be so soon. He did not think of bringing a woman around him in the future, or …… think of the shock of entering the house six months ago, and then look at Elena sitting there with her eyes red and swollen, he suddenly had an idea that maybe he could take her on a trip back with him.
