I can’t think about it anymore. It turns out that he really did see me six years ago and kept my photos that long!
I thought about it and couldn’t help asking, “You’re not going to have fallen in love with me since then!”
After I finished speaking, I noticed Abel was here too. I covered my face and stopped speaking. When I arrived at the hospital, I opened the door and ran off without saying goodbye to Calvin.
Calvin’s POV
I watched after her until she disappeared into the building and then said, “Drive.”
In fact, sometimes even I felt like I was being too crazy. During that time, I had actually fallen in love with her. It’s hard to forget, and I just want her!
Alexia’s POV
I entered the ward to find that my grandparents were there too and my mother was asking me about a divorce settlement.
“Mom, I,” I didn’t want to show my grandparents.
“Sweetheart, have you really thought this through?” Grandma’s eyes were a little red.
“Well,” Florence Brown said to me almost impatiently,
“Pen.”
I was shocked, mom would sign the contract without even looking at it? That’s different from what she said before! “Mom, Calvin said the lawyers at his firm are very good at divorce cases and can help us.”
“No! I don’t want anything, I just want a divorce as soon as possible!” Florence Brown persisted.
“Sis, even if you don’t want it, you have to consider Alexia? Ask a lawyer for advice.” Eric Johnson said, leaning against the windows.
Florence Brown closed her eyes and seemed to consider. After a while she sighed and also dropped the hand that held the divorce settlement, “Alexia, you decide.”
“Mom, then I will ask a lawyer for help.”
I read the agreement. I saw it after my mother fell down the stairs. The agreement requires Florence Brown to give up the company shares. After the divorce, Philip Brown will pay Florence Brown a one-time settlement of $300, 000. How can my mother sign such an agreement? The company was created by their hard work together. It is impossible to kick the mother out of the company because the father cheated her.
“I’m smoking!” Eric Johnson winked at me, and he walked out first.
“It’s okay if your mom finds out, it’s okay.” I followed my uncle’s step.
I nodded, “Uncle, my dad just called me on the way, and he actually asked me to drop the charges against Gloria Williams!”
Eric Johnson frowned. “Is that what he said?”
“Well, what he meant seems to be that my mother did something wrong!” I looked at my uncle.
“I’m really surprised that my father and mother used to have such a good relationship. What did mother do to make father so angry!”
“I don’t know either,” Eric Johnson raised an eyebrow, his expression solemn. “Alexia, I’m going back to the army tomorrow!”
“So soon? Didn’t you say ten days leave? That’s not even here yet!” I said in shock.
“I have a mission!” Eric Johnson blinked and shook his head helplessly. .
“Well, I’m here, don’t worry.” After finishing my speech, I walked back to the ward.
As soon as I walked to the door of the ward, I heard my grandma say, “We should .”
“Dad, Mom, Alexia is coming back,” Florence Brown said impatiently.
Then grandma stopped talking, do they really have secrets?
I pretended not to hear and entered the ward.
Time passed quickly, Calvin called and said he was coming to the hospital to pick me up.
I was afraid he would be seen by my grandparents, so I asked him to wait for me downstairs.
“Grandpa and Grandma, I’m going to a friend’s house, you go home early and get some rest.” Now I am very practiced at lying.
“Have a good rest, here, don’t worry!” said Florence Brown lovingly, “Auntie is here!”
“Well, Mommie, I’ll be back in the morning!” I waved goodbye.
“Okay!” smiled Florence Brown.
As I walked down the stairs, Calvin was already waiting for me, but this time he drove the car himself.
As I got into the passenger seat, he suddenly kissed me and said, “I want to eat your food!”
I blushed and nodded.
At the supermarket, I suddenly received a call from the manager, “I’m calling you this time to ask, your vacation will end soon, when will you come back to work?”
However, I am surprised that I am a normal employee. Why is the manager so interested in my work? “Actually, I don’t plan to go back to work, I still want to quit – hey, Calvin, why are you stealing my phone!”
Before I could finish speaking, Calvin took the phone from me.
On the other hand, the manager was shocked to hear Calvin ?
Calvin took the phone and held it right up to his ear, “I’m Calvin Smith!”
“Mr. Smith!” When the General Manager heard Calvin’s voice, he almost fell off his chair in shock. “Me, me,” he suddenly stuttered.
“What’s the matter?” Calvin’s voice was cold.
“No, it’s okay, I’m just asking when Miss Alexia is coming back to work.”
Before Calvin specifically told him to follow me, he suspected Smith liked this girl, and to please me, he specifically called and asked.
“You have nothing to worry about.” Calvin raised his eyebrows, thinking that this man really was in charge.
“Then I won’t bother you! Goodbye!” The general manager heard Calvin’s politeness and felt a little flattered. Although they are all managers, Calvin’s status is higher than his.
“Go back to work,” Calvin said after hanging up.
“No!” I shook my head without thinking.
“Why?” asked Calvin.
“Because I don’t like it!” I declined again.
Calvin stopped talking about it, and after he bought the food, they went home.
I quickly prepared the food, and after dinner we watched TV together in rare unison, and then we went to rest.
“Hey, Annie.” I had barely returned to my room when I received a call from Anni.
“Alexia, did you move out? I saw your grandparents when I came home today. They said you’re staying with a friend now.” Asked Anni.
“No, I didn’t want to admit that I moved in with Calvin. It’s not the right time to say that. “It’s a classmate from high school. My grandparents want it quiet. I’m staying there for two days. What’s the matter with you? ”
“Well, today I’m going to send you an invitation.” Said Anni, grinning.
“An invitation?” I was taken aback for a moment before I realized, “You’re getting married?”
“Yes, the date is set for next Saturday.” Said Anni.
“So soon!” I was shocked.
“I get along well with him, Andrew Davies is nice to me, and his family wants to get married soon too!” Said Anni softly, which made me unhappy.
Anni paused, “By the way, Alexia, you can be my bridesmaid!”
“Okay!” I agreed without thinking about it. It was a wish of mine at that moment.
Suddenly, I remembered that I am a married person who is not suitable to be a bridesmaid! I must find a reason to refuse her.
Why am I so stupid, I wailed, “Annie, wait, I’m afraid I can’t be your bridesmaid!”
“Why?” Annie was surprised.
I know if I don’t give a reason today, Anni will surely be unhappy, so I had to lie, “Mother has a medical checkup next week.
“Okay, Auntie’s business is important. Just come to the wedding banquet at this time!” Anni smiled
“Anni, I’m sorry!” I feel so guilty.
“It’s okay, why are you apologizing!” Anni said goodbye to me and hung up the phone.
I put my phone on the table and held my head, very depressed. I missed Anni’s wedding
The next day, I went to the hospital early to say goodbye to my mom, and Calvin called me. He seemed very angry. Could it be that he had just gotten up? But I didn’t want to face him, so I got up very early and jogged to the bus stop. It only takes an hour to get there, but it took me more than two hours to reach the hospital. I’d better buy a car quickly or I won’t be able to stand walking every day.
“Mom!” At the hospital, I chatted with my mother, and then I wanted to ask about yesterday’s secret while my aunt was away.
“What?” Florence Brown was very attentive. She shook my hand and asked quietly, “Did something happen?”
“Mom, what happened between you and Dad? Why did he say -” I thought about it and told her what had happened yesterday.
“He said what?” asked Florence Brown with serious eyes.
“Dad said, ‘I know what you did.'” I felt a little strange hearing that sentence yesterday.
Florence Brown heard the words, but kept silent. Finally, he sighed softly, “Alexia, don’t interfere with the conversation between your father and me!”
“But mum -” I gritted my teeth and asked the biggest question of my heart, “Mama, am I not Papa’s daughter?”
Florence Brown was taken aback. She didn’t seem to expect me to have such a problem, but then she cursed, “What nonsense? Who told you that?”
“I heard my father’s tone was wrong, I suspected it myself!” I looked intently into my mother’s eyes, trying to detect any clues in her gaze.
But Florence Brown reacting normally, she was very angry and said, “You mustn’t say such things in the future!”
“Mum, can you tell me the truth? What happened between you and dad?” I was even more confused.
Florence Brown was silent for a while, then suddenly she sighed, “Alexia, your father cheated on you. Gloria Williams was pregnant with a boy. Your father always wanted a son. I was in poor health and couldn’t have a child, so he was very happy. But how can I bear it, I found someone Gloria Williams and miscarried, so your father hates me!”
I was shocked!
Florence Brown continued, “Alexia, don’t get a lawyer for the divorce settlement. Just sign it. I don’t want any more contact with him. I don’t want any more money either. In fact, I know the company has lost money in the last couple of years. Seriously, he doesn’t have much money left, I just want to get rid of it as soon as possible.”
“Mom, do you still have something to hide from me?” I sensed that what my mother was saying was not on her mind.
She had clearly stated that she wanted to get back what was theirs. Why did she change her mind when she got the agreement? What happened to it?
“Alexia, don’t ask!” Florence Brown was suddenly agitated.
“Okay, I won’t say anymore.” I touched my mother’s hand and stopped asking.
