On Saturday morning I got up early, washed and changed my clothes at leisure, and then asked Abel to take me to Anni’s new home.
All along the way, I chatted with Andy and Anni. Anni’s new house is a bit far away. I was sitting in the car watching the videos and photos Andy had sent so I wouldn’t get bored, but Andy suddenly sent me a message…
Andy: Andrew Davies’ Mom is mad, the mood is so unpleasant.
Me: Or is it because of the payment card?
Andy: Yes, Anni ‘s face is so pale, I will comfort her, will you come soon?
ME : I’ll be right there.
Andy: Come on.
I know Anni’s temperament very well. The accident happened on the first day of the wedding, and she will remember it for the rest of her life.
Fifteen minutes later, I arrive. Her house is small but new, but the surroundings are flat and the decorations are simple.
In the new house, Anni is wearing a white wedding dress. The bride’s makeup is very clean, and her little face is as cute as a porcelain doll. The white wedding dress is at the end of the bed, looking holy and beautiful.
“Annie, you are so beautiful today!” I walked over and hugged Anni and said sincerely.
Anni looked at me blankly and suddenly grinned, but the smile was wide and tears flashed under her eyes.
“Anni, you said you couldn’t cry today!” Andy immediately rushed over, grabbed a tissue and handed it to Anni.
“Anni, are you unhappy?”
Anni lowered her head, tears falling.
“Hey, Anni, you can’t cry!” Andy stomped anxiously.
“What’s going on?” I was worried too.
“Andrew Davies’ Mother said she won’t let the wedding happen unless she gives her the pay card,” Andy said angrily.
“Ah!” I was shocked.
“Yeah.” Anni nodded and smiled slightly.
“Yes Anni, get a divorce and then you can come back and we can continue living together like we always have, how great!” Andy narrowed his eyes, “It’s okay to have a child, we’ll raise it together!”
“Okay, let’s not talk about it Anni, I’ll make up with you.” No sooner had I made up with Anni than there was a knock on the door and Andrew Davies’ voice sounded from outside.
“Anni, open the door.”
I beckoned Andy to open the door and then whispered to Anni, “Anni, since you’ve made up your mind, be patient for now and talk about it after today!”
“I know.” Anni nodded.
At that moment, Andy had opened the door and Andrew Davies walked in. When he saw I was there, he nodded and said, “Hello.”
He walked up to Anni and saw that Anni’s eyes were a little puffy. He squatted down in annoyance.
” Anni, I’m sorry.”
Anni lowered her head .
Andrew Davies also lowered his head, ” I just spoke to my mother and she said she was right .”
“Anni, you need to think clearly, do you want to live with this man for the rest of your life or do you want to leave now?”
“Hey, how can you say that!” Andrew Davies heard Andy, he became even more anxious, “Anni, don’t listen to her, I will be nice to you, I love you!”
It happened that Anni’s mother came in from outside, her face was very angry, “Do you love Anni? Can you still let her be bullied!”
“Why did I bully her? Ah? Tell me clearly!” Andrew Davies ‘ mother followed, and the two argued.
“Stop talking!” Anni’s angry face was purple, and she abruptly stood up, “If you two are so unhappy with each other, then don’t get married!”
Anni snapped, and everyone present was stunned.
“Auntie, don’t worry, I owe you the money, I’ll pay it back!” Anni’s eyes flashed with anger. The original wedding ceremony had turned into a farce like today, which made her feel very embarrassed.
After saying those words, Anni looked at us and said, “Let’s go!”
Andy and I have never seen such brazen behavior from Anni. We were shocked. When Anni told us to leave, we hastily packed our things and left.
Andrew Davies, knowing that everything would be irrevocable once she was gone, suddenly knelt hurriedly on the floor and pleaded with Anni, “Anni, I’m kneeling for you, please don’t go.”
“Andrew Davies, get up!” Andrew’s mother walked over, slapped Andrew Davies him, pointed at him and cursed, “If you don’t get up, I won’t acknowledge you as my son!”
“Mama, are you trying to force me to death? Mama, Anni is pregnant and she has my child!” Andrew Davies was in pain.
“Shut up!” Anni heard the words, abruptly turned her head and scolded Andrew Davies.
“What, she’s pregnant?” Davies’ mother was shocked, but then there was a hesitation in her eyes. She frowned and looked at Anni.
Anni turned and left without saying a word.
“Anni, is it true what Andrew Davies said?” Anni’s mother was also shocked. Once her daughter was pregnant, she would have no leverage.
“Auntie, let’s go back and talk about it!” Andy quickly stood in front of Anni and separated her from her mother.
“Mom!” Andrew Davies rushed over and pulled Anni to her to stop her from letting go.
“Let’s make sure Anni calms down.” I told Andrew Davies, she should let go and Andy took Anni to another empty room.
“Anni, what do you think?” I asked Anni quietly.
“What else?” Anni smiled mischievously. .
In this matter, Anni had been hurt by her parents from the beginning. I remember Anni secretly telling me that when she and Andrew Davies first met, Andrew Davies helped pay back the money her brother owed. Although Andrew Davies is very good to Anni, he has no opinion, which makes Anni and her mother very unhappy.
“So what are you going to do?” she asks.
“Hey, Anni, please get a divorce and pay back the money you owe. I really don’t think your married life is easy!” Andy sighed.
“Alexia, is that what you think?” Anni looked at me with tears in her eyes.
“Oh, I know it’s not good to talk to you like that, but you need to think about whether Andrew Davies can be reliable, after all, marriage is a lifetime thing.” Said I angrily.
“Anni, think about it,” Andy talked at me.
“But-” Anni lowered her gaze and was silent for a while, then suddenly whispered, “I’m pregnant.”
Andy and I stood frozen in place, “How long has it been?”
“It’s almost forty days,” Anni said.
“Forty days? Then right after the first meeting you -” Andy held her forehead, her face filled with disbelief.
“I called him that night, his wife answered, and then I drank,” Anni said, smiling suddenly bitterly. “I didn’t expect to get pregnant.”
Of course, Andy and I knew that Anni said he was her ex-boyfriend from college.
“Anni, do you want the baby?” I was very sad.
“I don’t know, I hate myself, I hate him, I hate his family, I hate my parents, but this is a small life” Anni put her hand on her stomach, shook her head and smiled bitterly “Sometimes I’m so tired of life.”
“Anni, let’s look at Andrew Davies performance. If it’s worth it, insist on it. After all, getting married is not the same as falling in love. Marriage is about finding a man who will support your family and protect you. If he’s not worth that, then don’t hesitate to divorce him,” I said softly, holding Anni’s hand.
“Anni, I don’t know that you are pregnant, so don’t worry when it comes to the baby.” Andrew Davies ‘ Mother came and knocked on the door. Although she spoke of reconciliation, it sounded like she was being very insincere.
Seeing Anni seemed tempting. I looked at Andy, and Andy looked at me too.
In reality, everyone hopes Anni can leave, otherwise the future will be very difficult. But in reality, Anni is someone who can’t do that at all.
“Anni, don’t go, let’s raise the baby together, I will listen to you in the future!” Andrew Davies saw Anni’s expression full of hesitation. He immediately became happy.
Andy and I felt that the atmosphere was a little awkward. We simultaneously said, “Anni, you talk to Andrew Davies, we’ll wait for you outside!”
“Okay.” Anni raised her head and looked at us, with an expression on her face that didn’t reveal if she was happy.
Ten minutes later, the door opened, and Mother Anni came out with a complicated look on her face.
“Auntie.” Andy and I greeted her.
“Anni’s inside, you can go in.” Anni’s mother smiled meaningfully without saying much and went straight to the gate.
“Anni!” I kicked the door in and saw Anni sitting by the bed, still with an expressionless look on her face.
“Sorry!” Anni said those three words without looking up.
“Why are you sorry?” Said Andy angrily, “Anni, you really let me down! How long are you going to put up with this?”
“Hey!” I shoved Andy, Anni was already sad so stop hurting her more.
“I know you’re disappointed in me, but-” Anni shook her head and smiled crookedly, “If I really leave today, will it be for the best?”
When Andy and I heard that, we both fell silent. Yeah, even if Anni didn’t get married today, so what? She and Andrew Davies had already received the certificate, and the relatives knew about it.
“Anni, don’t worry too much.” I don’t know what to say to comfort Anni. I used to think my fate was hard, now I know I’m really lucky compared to what Anni experienced.
“Anni, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t say much, but I have one more word to say,” Andy sighed. She also sat down next to Anni, held her hand and said seriously, “You can’t be soft-hearted anymore, you have to be nice to yourself! Do you understand?”
Anni was startled, then nodded, “Yes, I understand.”
Neither Andy nor I spoke further. We had a leisurely lunch. In the middle of the night, Anni woke up to do her makeup. This farce repeated itself the next morning. She was too tired and fell asleep. Andy and I leaned on the sofa and blinked at each other for a while.
I was awakened by a phone call from Calvin, “Where?”
“I’m at Anni’s house.” “Have you eaten yet?”, I asked quietly, stepping out onto the balcony.
“Yes.” Calvin replied and then asked, “Why? Weren’t you at the wedding reception?”
“Something happened,” I said, sighing softly. “The wedding.
