Of course Anni was back, but there were several large suitcases and stacks of books in the living room. I wonder if Anni wanted to move.
I heard a voice from Anni’s room, and I curiously walked towards her bedroom.
It seemed that there was a man in her room and they are arguing. What had happened? I was about to knock on the door when it was opened.
The man wasn’t expecting a beauty to be at the door. His eyes lit up and he took the initiative to shake hands, “You’re Alexia, I hear Anni talk about you a lot.”
I looked at the hand he held out to me but didn’t hold it.
Anni came out of the room as well, but when she saw me her expression was a little awkward, “Alexia, he, he’s my fiancé Andrew Davies.”
“Fiancé?” I was surprised.
Anni and him have only known each other for a month and they’re already getting married?
“Yeah, we got engaged a week ago.” Anni said uncomfortably, not looking me in the eye.
Although I was shocked, I couldn’t lose my politeness, so I reached out and shook her hand, smiled, and said,
“Hello.”I watched him closely as well. He’s not tall and average looking, but his taste isn’t good and his clothes are out of date.
“Miss Alexia is so beautiful. No wonder Anni keeps complimenting you.”
“What else do you want me to pack?” asked Davies, looking at Anni.
“Nothing, put your things away for now, I need to have a few words with Alexia.” Said Anni.
“Okay!” Said Davies, carrying something and walking out.
“What’s wrong with you, you got engaged so early and you don’t tell me!” I was curious.
“Time is of the essence, you’re in the hospital, there’s no time to tell you. So, quick? Some people think it’s slow.” Anni heaved a sigh.
“What’s going on here? You don’t even like him! Why did you suddenly decide to get married? Did your parents force you?”
I’m very afraid that Anni was forced into this, which was not good for her.
“We don’t have to be in love to get married, we just have to find a better man to live with.” Anni smiled bitterly, but dodged my last question. However, from her smile, I can tell that she was really forced by her parents!
“Your parents, how can your parents be like that!”Anni smiled even more unwillingly.
“Well, maybe it’s not that bad. Even though I haven’t known him for a long time, he treats me very well. He used to be a soldier and was very hardworking.”
“But, Anni, are you happy?” I felt very uncomfortable.
“What can I do if I am not happy? I don’t love anymore. My family is in this situation. The family’s circumstances are not very good, but he has a steady job, the parents have insurance, and the house is paid off. They don’t think I’m poor, everything is fine.” Anni curled her lips, the expression on her face cold.
“You!” I really don’t like it when Anni says that, so sad.
“Alexia, I can’t help it! My brother got a girl pregnant and demanded money . How can I have money? So my brother went to gamble and indebted a huge sum of money. The underworld demanded money from us. My brother ran away. My father is sick and my mother cries with me every day, what can I do?” When Anni said this, she seemed to be telling someone else’s story.
I wanted to cry as I listened. Anni was really at the end of her rope.
“I don’t have any money left at all. My savings have been used up by my parents. I really don’t want to take care of them, but they are my parents. I can’t help but let them down.”
“But, Annie, they’re inconsiderate because you’re so nice. They must be really cruel!” I’ve said this many times before, but Annie just can’t let it go.
“Don’t worry, Andrew Davies’ mother already lent me the money to pay off the debt.” Anni smiled and patted my hand. I saw the sadness in her eyes.
“Anni, you only married him for the money, didn’t you?”
“What nonsense, I really did it because he is good.” Said Anni.
“Ok, maybe you’re right, in a marriage you don’t have to love each other, it’s all about life.”
So Calvin and I can live together peacefully, even though we live in the same house, but we are like roommates.
“Alexia, I’m getting married at the end of the month, so I won’t be living here anymore. You need to take care.”
A voice came from outside the door, it was Andrew Davies. Anni didn’t want him to hear our conversation, so she changed the subject.
“Oh, good.” Actually, I was trying to think of a reason to tell Anni to move out. Now Anni is moving out sooner than I am, so I don’t have to lie. I don’t want to talk to Anni and Andy about my marriage.
The less people who know about it, the better. I talked to Anni a few more words, and she wanted to leave. When I was at my most difficult and helpless, it was Anni and Andy who gave me support. Even though there were arguments, in the end we became sisters and family. . .
So I really don’t want Anni’s marriage to be unhappy. Although she pretends to be relaxed, I feel sad.
“I’m leaving now, when my new house is cleaned up, you and Andy come over to my place to play, I’ll make you something delicious, goodbye!”After saying that, Anni left.
Looking at my empty house, I felt so sad, like I really said goodbye to the past. I just packed up a few things, locked the door, and went downstairs.
Calvin came over and took the suitcase in my hand. He frowned and asked, “Why is it so light?”
“Oh, huh?” I didn’t understand what he meant, what was wrong with the light suitcase?”Get in!
“When I got back to his house, it was a completely different feeling. Because this time I knew the code to open the door.
“Two thousand ninety-nine zero eight one two!” Calvin repeated it several times as if to make something clear to me. At first I didn’t care, but as I pressed this sequence of numbers, I finally realized it was a strange number. It obviously referred to August 12, 2009, which was the year my family fell into chaos and the year my ex-boyfriend cheated on me.
I will never forget that. But what does this time of year mean to Calvin? Is it so important that he uses that string of numbers as a password to open the door? The door opened and I couldn’t help but ask, “Why do you use that as a password? Is this day important to you?”
“Hmm.” Calvin tried to see something in my eyes, but he was disappointed.
“Could this day be your anniversary?” I asked again.
Calvin just walked into the living room . He suddenly turned around and asked in a cold voice, “You really don’t remember at all!”
“Ah, what? Did we know each other before? Was it also in 2009? But that year, I only knew the man who gave me this ring, but that man was completely different from you.” I, too, was taken aback.
Calvin acted as if he had known me before. Calvin kept silent, only making sure I stayed in the guest room and said he was going to work.
I was a little surprised and thought he was going to say something else, but then Calvin turned around and handed me a card, “You take this card, the code is 900907.”
“I don’t want it!” 900907, isn’t that my birthday? Why is he using my birthday as a password? Is that on purpose or coincidence?
“Take it!” Calvin pressed the card into Alexia’s hand and left. I looked down at the bank card in my hand and suddenly felt my brain hurt.
Can someone tell me what’s going on here? After packing my things, I stood in front of the mirror and took a good look at myself. I looked so ugly in the mirror. No matter what I did, Calvin didn’t seem to get anything from me. Then he did so much.
“What’s the point? I don’t want it anymore. This room is really too big except for a few private places, I watched it all around. I was tired too. I had to go to the hospital at night to accompany my mother, so I’ve been sleeping for a while now. I just wanted to sleep for a while, but when I woke up it was almost 6 o’clock. I turned on the phone and saw that there were some missed calls.
They were Calvin and some unknown numbers. I called Calvin, “I’m sorry, I just fell asleep and didn’t hear the call.”
“Well, I know.” He seemed to be in the car, and I heard the sound of car horns. He knows? How could he know?
“What can I do for you?””The police can’t find you, they found me. They want you to come to the police station this afternoon, but they can’t find you, so you’ll just have to go tomorrow afternoon.” Calvin said quietly.
“Did they say anything?” I was starting to get nervous.”Everything is fine, and Gloria Williams seems to be involved in another case. I’ll be home soon and take you out to dinner. Don’t be scared, I’ll be there.” Calvin has a kind of magic that makes me feel good.
When I hearD his words, I don’t want to ask any more Gloria Williams. Just as I came down the stairs, Calvin’s car arrived.
“Hello, madam!” Suddenly, the driver opened the door for me, which was very embarrassing. Calvin held my hand and let me sit next to him. I smiled awkwardly,
“Hello, call me Alexia.”
“No, that’s not good,” the driver is about forty years old and very friendly.
“Call her Miss Alexia. You’ll be picked up by Abel when you get in and out.” Calvin played with my hand like a toy.
I tore myself away several times to no avail. “Don’t be so annoying, I can take the bus or the subway.”
“The bus stop here is five kilometers from home,” Calvin said calmly.
I forgot, how could anyone take a bus here. But suddenly a driver came.
But I didn’t dare contradict Calvin in front of the others, .”Give me the phone.”
I handed him the phone, not knowing what he was about to do.
“This is Abel’s cell number. If you need to use the car in the future, call him.” Calvin pressed save and handed the phone back to me. But what interested me more was, “How do you know my unlock password?” I frowned.
Calvin raised his eyebrows. “Do you want to know? Give me a kiss and I’ll tell you!”
My face suddenly turned red, and Abel was there too, I pushed his face away, “Go away, who wants to kiss you!”Calvin was amused at these words and chuckled.
