Chapter 39: Elena Tries Her Son
But thinking of her two sons and the three similar faces, she couldn’t resist the longing in her heart.
To fall in love again, to start everything over, not to tell him about the children for a while? But what would that change? The marriage certificate still existed, and legally and de facto they were already husband and wife, so it didn’t seem to make any sense anymore.
Was it time for a divorce? Elena’s heart was reeling at this point, not knowing what to do. She has been out for so long, I wonder if Fred Garner called, when it was stimulated to leave, did not bring anything, empty-handed on the rush out, this will not know at all, this can not help but a little regret.
Sitting on a park bench, looking at the people passing by, hugging couples together, Elena is hesitant to divorce and start over, feeling a little too absurd, and from the heart, Elena is also difficult to accept, even if not for themselves, and she can not explain to the two children after returning.
The two children should also be up, Elena decided to call back to ask the children’s opinion.
“Mommy, I miss you so much, are you off work?” The person who answered the phone was Jeffery, who was more attentive despite being a boy.
“Yeah, Jeffery, is Jack with you?” Elena’s voice was a little shaky, she couldn’t let the kids know directly anyway, otherwise the two kids would definitely fly over regardless.
“Jack, mommy called you.” Elena finished to hear the other end, Jeffery called brother’s voice, because the two were born only a little more than ten minutes apart, in the call each other’s first name.
“Idiot, don’t you just press the speakerphone.” Jack came over and knocked his brother.
“Mommy, when are you coming back? Is it good over there? Did the boss bully you?” Jack said like a small adult, this thoughtful words made Elena’s eyes warm.
“Mommy is fine, Mommy just misses you guys, Mommy is not with you, did you take good care of yourselves? Did you give Uncle James any trouble?” Elena’s voice was a little hoarse, but she couldn’t get the question out.
“Mommy, we are very good, we go to school on time every day, and when we come back, we are good, and we help Uncle James to do the housework, if Mommy really misses us, then come back to see us, or I can go with Jeffery to see Mommy, Mommy …… ”
“It’s my turn, it’s my turn, you said much better, Mommy, Mommy, I have also been very good, I also help Uncle James wipe the table ……” at the end of the phone, came the sound of two sons arguing, every time she hear this, Elena heart fealt and special relief The only regret is that from the birth of the children until now, they have not been able to let them call anyone father.
“Jack, Jeffery, do you want daddy?” Elena asked her two sons, filled with guilt.
“Mommy, do you have a boy you like?” The bickering on the other end of the phone stopped for a moment, and then both voices said at the same time.
“No, Mommy just thinks she should give you guys a daddy, I just don’t know what kind of daddy you like?” Elena wiped her tears and asked the two children with a smile.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Mommy, you don’t have to think about it for us, as long as he is good to Mommy and can take care of Mommy, of course, if he is handsome, it would be better.” Jeffery said into the phone.
“Mommy, Mommy, didn’t you say our daddy is still around? Why do we need a new daddy?”
“Idiot, if daddy treated Mommy well, would Mommy have given birth to us alone and taken us both?”
The voice of the youngest son reprimanding his brother came from the other end of the phone.
“Also, we haven’t seen daddy since we were born, Mommy, then you’d better find us a new daddy, he can be handsome, but he mustn’t be more handsome than Jack, and he mustn’t be cuter than Jack, he must be like ……”
“Idiot, Mommy, you can pick any kind of boy, just don’t be as stupid as Jack.” Jeffery glared at his brother and complained that God was unfair, why Jack had to be born ten minutes earlier than him, whoops, he should be the older brother.
“Okay, Mommy understands, if there are boys like that, Mommy will make sure to bring them back for you guys to identify, so you can, before you can.” Elena smiled, her mind made up.
Why should she trap herself in this three-day emotion when neither child cared that much.
Three days of emotion couldn’t withstand five years of wear and tear. If Fred Garner really still had feelings for her, for the sake of him being the baby’s father, she gave him a chance, a chance to pursue her again, but about the two kids, she wasn’t going to tell him now.
When she was sure of his feelings, it would be nice to surprise him then.
After a long day of wandering around, frustrated and tired, Elena decided to go home and get some rest and go to work tomorrow.
In Elena’s place, Fred Garner kept turning the phone in his hand, he came here from noon, but knocked on the door and no one came to open it, he thought Elena was angry, so he called her phone, but no one answered, in the case of waiting for a long time no one opened the door, he came in himself.
He wanted to go out and look for it, but he didn’t know where to find it. He couldn’t sit still until three o’clock in the afternoon and called Elena’s phone again, but there was still no answer.
The first thing he did was to call Elena’s phone, but she was in B City before she left, so she shouldn’t have any friends here.
After thinking about it, Fred Garner made a phone call back to the office, and after making sure Elena had not returned to the office, he decided to wait, but waiting like this would only lead to nonsense, so he went to the supermarket and bought some groceries.
He thought Elena would not want to eat out, so he might as well make it and wait for her to come back, maybe she would not be angry when she came back.
When Elena came back with her tired body, she habitually looked upstairs, and then froze, why was the light on in her room? The first thing you need to do is to turn it off when you leave in the morning? It seems unlikely, not to mention that it was light when she left in the morning, she did not need to turn on the light ah.
Was there a burglar? But she has only moved here for a short time, I guess the thief finally came, but also will be disappointed to return, forget it, do not think about it, go up and take a look you will not know.
Maybe she had been abroad for a long time, Elena didn’t think about how dangerous it was, and when she went upstairs, she saw that the door was still locked and there was no sign of prying, so the nervousness she had just felt was immediately put aside.
Fred Garner opened the door and did not bother with the light on in the hall, after a day of wandering around, so tired, she came back and fell straight into the sofa, today was stimulated to leave the company.
Elena’s sense of smell seems to be a bit insensitive after a day of wandering outside, and she didn’t even think about the scent of the house, she just closed her eyes and collapsed on the couch.
Fred Garner in the kitchen did not hear the door open, when he brought the dishes out, saw Elena lying on the sofa, slightly stunned, but also surprise crept on the face.
“Honey you’re back.”
A voice of wife made Elena bounce up from the couch.
“Fred Garner? What are you doing in my house?” Elena’s eyes glazed over as she looked at Fred Garner with his apron tied.
“Honey, you’ve been out all day and you’re hungry, let’s wash our hands and eat before we talk, okay?” Fred Garner smiled and came over and took Elena’s hand into the bathroom like a little kid.
Elena hadn’t woken up from her shock and actually let him pull her into the bathroom, and she didn’t fully wake up until the water rushed to her hands.
“Fred Garner, why are you in my house?” Elena jerked her hand back hard and stared at the smiling Fred Garner.
“I was worried about you, so I came over to look for you, but no one answered the phone and no one answered the door, so I got a little worried and called a locksmith.” Fred Garner was stunned, thinking, this time in any case is not to let Elena know that he stole the key, otherwise the end will certainly be very sad.
“Who gave you permission to come to my house? Who allowed you to take the liberty? You go, you go ……” Elena pointed her finger at the door, holding back tears, and told Fred Garner to get lost.
“Elena, I know I was wrong and I should have told you when I recognized you, but Elena, before you sentence me, can you listen to my explanation?”
Fred Garner hadn’t seen Elena angry, and this was the first time, and that unsmiling face had him worried.
“Fred Garner, there’s nothing to explain, in fact it’s been five years, our marriage is essentially meaningless, you can absolutely file for dissolution of marriage.” At this point Elena said the words, and came back before the thought is completely two concepts. She was mainly angry with Fred Garner for coming uninvited and for having the locks on her house unlocked.
If she hadn’t taken into account their ‘husband and wife’, superior-subordinate relationship, she could have reported the incident, now, she had already given Fred Garner face.
“Elena, I will not dissolve the marriage, although five years have passed, but in these five years, I have always remembered that I am married, and have not done anything to jeopardize our marriage relationship, in fact, since you disappeared, I have been looking for you, you can not sentence me to life imprisonment because of this incident today.” Fred Garner was a bit agitated, not expecting that Elena had no understanding of what he had tried to do.
Hearing Fred Garner say the word life in prison, Elena froze, seeing him so excited, put a little joy in her heart.
“But you did break and enter today, and I believe you should know that you have broken the law.” See Fred Garner excited, Elena instead calm down, she wiped her hands with a towel, while saying.
“Yes, I was wrong. After you left today, I couldn’t find you and no one answered your phone, I was worried.” Seeing Elena’s voice softened, Fred Garner panted darkly and gently held Elena’s arm to explain.
