Neal Williams heart ache, she looked like that, actually let him dare not immediately close.
Auntie also because of herself, so suddenly gone …
Sammy Jones raised his eyes and looked at him from afar with a complicated look, and finally parted his face.
Beck Williams tapped Andrea Jones on the shoulder, “Andrea, the family has to go through the paperwork over at the funeral home. You go over there with Neal.”
Like no thought, a command and a movement. She got up in a daze and walked mechanically toward the door.
Passing Neal Williams, her eyes never fell on him either. It was as if he was a transparent wisp of air.
The heart aches, Neal Williams heart jumped to follow. A sideways glance at her, in the end, still can not resist, reaching out to her hand painfully into the palm of her hand. I thought she would immediately struggle, he was even ready to be rejected by her, but …
Instead, she was like a rag doll, not resisting at all, just at his mercy.
His deep, invisible eyes assaulted with remorse and pain.
He would rather she be tougher and colder than like this.
…
In the time between the cremation and the funeral service, the two sisters seemed to have come to terms with the fact.
Tears, dried up.
The legs are swollen on their knees.
Some people, lost is really lost …
Andrea Jones was alone in her mother’s room, packing up the last of her belongings. The photos that turned up from the bottom of the box made her red-eyed.
On the photo, it is a young couple.
At that time, they laughed so radiantly and vividly. It was as if the whole world was under their feet.
It’s just a pity that …
Whose joy, too, will always be covered up by the vicissitudes of the day.
She suddenly remembered that she and Neal Williams from the beginning until now, surprisingly not even a single photo left. Grieving from the heart, she stopped thinking about it and hurriedly put the photos away carefully.
Walking out of the bedroom, the computer Sammy Jones had placed on the coffee table was ‘beeping’.
She happened to be out taking out the trash at the moment, Andrea Jones didn’t care, and looked a little anxious as the qq messages kept popping up.
She passed suspiciously, wanting to remind the other person that Sammy Jones would not be back for a while, and reached out to click on the window.
A series of messages popped up immediately.
“Sammy Jones, you’re my most decorated student, I hope you’ll think about it and not turn it down so quickly.”
“What a rare opportunity this is, and you know it well!”
“I know that now your family is a special situation, you can not leave your sister behind, but no matter what, you also have to consider your own future development, she is also hungry adults, after all, do not need you to bother so much.”
“Sammy Jones, no matter what, this trip to Florida for further study should be on your mind. Don’t you dream of doing the international bill with all your heart? Now is your best chance!”
“You only have one last day to think about it!”
…
In front of the computer screen, looking at the string of messages, Andrea Jones silent.
Something so important, Sammy Jones has been hiding it from himself.
And, apparently, she had already rejected the other person once.
Taking a deep breath, she hesitated and tapped down a few words.
…
Afternoon.
Andrea Jones goes to the supermarket alone.
I passed by the fruit section and took in the apples and grapes one by one. Remembering that Sammy Jones said he wanted to eat seafood, she turned to the seafood section. The wet ground made her walk extra carefully. Ben had two good hairy crabs caught for her, and remembering what she had read on the computer last night, she carefully put the crabs back and replaced them with shrimp.
For pregnant women, shrimp is so much better than crab.
Carrying a large bag, walking out of the supermarket. Even if you deliberately ignore it, but the car that follows behind you is so huge that it is difficult for her to ignore it.
There was a deliberate pause when the corner was turned.
The car turned around and she stood on the side of the road and caught the Hummer in the act.
With nowhere to hide and no desire to do so, Neal Williams sank down from the car. Glancing at Andrea Jones, he said, “Get in.”
She didn’t move.
He then bent over and couldn’t have been more natural in trying to lift the things out of her hands, “I’ll walk you back.”
“No need!” Instead, she shrank back against the wall, her hand accurately avoiding his touch.
The big palm, fished in the air, was empty. His body was still bent awkwardly, frozen there.
I only heard her speak in a calm and detached tone, “Go back, please don’t follow me.”
The hand, slowly draw back, hold tight. As if this is to suppress the heart of the grief.
Neal Williams stood up straight and looked down at her.
That once familiar little face, but now there is only let him strange indifference.
She has changed …
Became, he almost did not recognize her …
“Andrea Jones …,” as if calling her, and sighing, as feeble as that, “Are you going to, let our relationship stay just like this?”
She gripped the object in her hand tightly.
The plastic bag straps strangled her palms some pain, but she did not relax at all.
Taking a deep breath, she strained her throat and said stiffly, “There has been no ‘we’ for a long time, so our relationship will not be frozen … we, no longer have a relationship!”
The last sentence, she said heavy and hard, said to him, but also to himself, to convince himself.
Neal Williams shuddered and stared at her with a sullen intensity.
That look, it was so oppressive. It was like a boulder pressing down on Andrea Jones’ chest, causing her inexplicably sour nostrils and almost forcing tears from her eyes.
Before she lost control, she pushed him away and twisted around to leave.
Neal Williams yanked her violently and pinned her against the wall.
He stared at her fiercely from above and below. The eyes contained complex feelings, as if he was annoyed with his own recklessness, but also as if he was annoyed with her current ruthlessness and determination.
How could she have cleared the air between them so neatly!
“What do you mean there’s no relationship at all? Andrea Jones, even if you want to get rid of me, don’t forget that you have my child!” He gritted his teeth, as if to remind her, he deliberately bit the word ‘child’, very heavy.
She stiffened.
There was a slight shaking in the arm that he was clasping.
Obviously said that they do not want this child, but …
Every time I hold the computer but can’t resist browsing the knowledge of baby care again and again.
This morning when she was pregnant and vomiting, she didn’t have the courage to tell the truth in the face of Sammy Jones’ suspicious eyes.
The heart, throbbing up, she will carry the things in her hands in the arms, like carrying a baby. The first thing you need to do is to look at the situation and see what you can do. You’ve already made an appointment with the doctor, haven’t you? These days, I will go to the hospital myself …”
She said it as if it was nothing, as if it was not her child that was to be removed …
Neal Williams looked at her as if she were a stranger, “You’re going to kill your child!”
She bit her lip to keep the tears from floating out of her eyes, “Don’t you crown me with such a big crime … If it was misfortune at birth, there is no reason for me to be so selfish as to bring him her into this ugly world!”
“Who said it would be unfortunate?!” He roared in uncontainable rage, his eyes slightly red.
He will definitely be the best father. If it is a daughter, he will give her the best pampering; if it is a son, he will be a little stricter. However, no matter what, he will stay with them and not miss a moment of the child’s childhood and growth.
Screw making an appointment with the doctor for surgery! He backtracked that night and cancelled the damn surgery long ago!
“No matter what you say, this child, I will not want …”
She trembled lightly, looked up, and stubbornly met his eyes full of anger.
She and he, four eyes facing each other. However, at this moment, it was surprisingly no longer possible to communicate.
Their hearts, there is no way to get closer … Instead, they are still going farther and farther away …
There is no greater sorrow than this …
Neal Williams looked at her disconsolately, “Andrea Jones, I thought you didn’t care to have any more entanglements with me?”
Her heart tightened and her jaw dropped in shock, as if she expected what he would say next, and she subconsciously took a step back.
She … was too afraid to listen!
“Let’s sign a deal – have this baby and from then on …”
He paused.
Inky black eyes, complex emotions were flowing painfully, wrapping around her in a dense and impermeable way, making her choke to the point of retching at the moment.
But his words, too, didn’t stop there, “I’ll let you go! You can go anywhere you want, and I will never haunt you again!”
The words fell, his eyes, only endless desolation left …
It was as if, even the last light had gone out.
Their world, in the end, is only dark …
She was shaking.
Covering her chest in severe pain, she stubbornly kept herself from collapsing.
Just stiffen your back and answer crisply, “Yes! I promise you!”
…
Turning around, the tears had flowed down and stained the face.
However, she also refused to turn back and just carried her things in stride.
Behind the Body …
Watching the petite figure disappear little by little in his eyes, Neal Williams finally could not resist a heavy fist on the wall.
On the back of the hand, it was immediately bloody.
But …
It was like he was numb, and he didn’t feel any pain.
Desperate, he leaned against the wall, closed his eyes and panted heavily, one at a time. As if not, he would die of suffocation at any moment.
As soon as Andrea Jones arrived home, Sammy Jones was already cooking dinner and coming out of the kitchen.
The house, where only the two sisters were left, seemed empty.
“What’s wrong with the eyes?” Sammy Jones lifted the object Andrea Jones was holding over to her and glanced at her.
She was busy taking a deep breath and hiding the remaining wave marks in her eyes, “It’s nothing, it’s just that I just got sand in my eyes.”
Sammy Jones didn’t poke at her right away, just took out the contents of the bag one by one. Turning to see her still standing in the hall, Sammy Jones couldn’t help but say, “Is he looking for you again?”
Andrea Jones looked back, as if she hadn’t heard Sammy Jones’ question, and suddenly turned her head and asked back, “Sis, is there something you’re not telling me?”
Sammy Jones was slightly stunned for a moment before he said, “What could I possibly be hiding from you?”
“Your teacher wants to take you to America for further study, why didn’t you tell me?”
“How do you know this?”
Andrea Jones sat down on the couch and twisted around, folding her arms over the back of the couch and resting her lower jaw right against her arm, “I peeked at the messages on your computer and your teacher said that today is the last day of your deadline to consider it. Are you really going to refuse?”
Last Day …
Hearing these four words, Sammy Jones eyes crossed a trace of regret. But, fleetingly, instead smiled, “What intends to refuse, I rejected her a long time ago.”
“Sis.” Andrea Jones watched her turn her face away before speaking tentatively, “Would you blame me if … I told you I had re-decided for you?”
“What?” Sammy Jones immediately stood up, “Did you say something to the teacher?”
“I said it in your tone of voice and agreed to go with her. Why turn down such a great opportunity and the chance to fulfill your dream?”
