“You won’t die in a short period of time, so stop pretending to be pitiful.” The director’s disdainful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Elisa sniffed, and said in a low voice: “Are you moved? I was almost moved to shed tears myself. ”
“I’m so sick that I’m about to vomit my dinner.”
“Then tell me quickly. Why did you not call me for a week and not reply to my message?”
“Who are you to me? I send you messages and call you everyday. My wife would be jealous. At such a young age, how can your thoughts not be so evil? Every day, you think about the breaking off the relationship between my wife and I. ”
“Do you dare to say that again? “Do you believe that I’ll drive there right now?!”
“Go ahead, I’m not in the City, it’s useless to whereever you drive.”
Elisa was shocked for a moment, “You have been married for years, yet you still shamelessly travel all day long, is that alright?”
“It’s perfect. I’m retired anyway.”
Elisa was speechless.
The director seemed to feel that stimulating Elisa would made him especially exciting, so he added, “If there’s anything you don’t understand, go and ask your husband. Sigh, there are some people who didn’t even realize that they were being played around by their husbands. ”
Elisa, “…”
With that, the director hung up the phone.
Elisa dialed Willliam’s number, hesitated for a moment, but did not call him. Instead, he drove home.
Just as Emily White was cleaning up the tableware, she heard the door open from the outside and turned her head in confusion.
Elisa lowered her head as she changed shoes at the foyer.
“Why did you come back?”
“I missed you.” Elisa said lazily.
“Who would believe your words. Have you eaten? ”
“No, I’m so hungry.”
Emily White raised her head and shouted, “Emman, come down to see your darling daughter. I feel like she’s about to be kicked out of the house.
“Ms. Emily White, are you still my mother?”
“No, I picked you up from the trash.”
“Didn’t you say last time that I was downloaded online?”
“No matter how I got you back, it still proves that you are not my biological.”
Elisa rolled her eyes, and laid on the sofa , “You should cook some noodles for me, I’m sad, I desperately need food to fill my empty and lonely heart.”
Emily White unhappily poked her on the head, then turned and went into the kitchen.
Emman went downstairs and sat beside Elisa. He touched her forehead and hair and asked: “What’s wrong?”
Elisa consciously rested her head on Emman’s lap, and casually said: “Dad, working too hard, I really want to go on strike.”
“If you don’t want to work, then don’t. Dad will support you.”
Elisa opened her eyes, “Dad, this doesn’t seem to be your style.”
“Girls don’t need to be so tired. If you like your job, you can do it. If you don’t like it, find a job that you like and do it slowly. Happiness is more important than anything else. ”
Elisa looked at the ceiling, “I don’t even know what I like. I feel like I’m pretty happy to be a doctor. Every day, I fight against the heavens and I fight against people. I am very happy. ”
“Then continue to be a doctor.” Emman laughed, “Is there something on your mind? You rarely do. ”
Emily White stood at the entrance of the kitchen, listening to their conversation.
“I don’t know. I don’t think I know William very well. I thought I was close to him, but he wouldn’t tell me much. “Dad, what’s your pov from a man’s point of view?”
“First of all, I need to know if something has happened recently that makes you feel like this, or if it has happened before?”
Elisa tilted her head and thought, “Maybe there was one in the past. I may not be confident when I face him. I don’t think I can attract a man like him with my charm. As long as there’s something wrong with him, I can easily think of it that way. ”
“Did you say these things to William?”
“I think I said it a little bit, but I don’t remember the details.”
Emman lightly stroked Elisa’s forehead, he thought for a while and said: “My opinion might not be too accurate, but I will still share my opinion.”
Elisa nodded.
“You are my daughter, taught up by me and your mother. I know what you are like and how likeable you are. Everyone likes people and things that are bright and clear, and you are just like that. You work as a doctor, you have seen the evils and scheming of human nature, but when you are faced with injury and need help, you still rush forward. You take it for granted because you don’t want to miss out on anyone who needs help, and it’s hard to appreciate that you’ve been designed and willing to do so in the context of a society where integrity is lacking. As your father, I’m glad to have such a good daughter. I think most people in the world will fall in love with my precious daughter. ”
Elisa blushed a little when she heard it, “Dad, you praising me so much, I’m so embarrassed.”
“You are so perfect in my heart.”
Elisa turned her body, and looked at Emman, “Is there anything else?”
“There are also all kinds of people in the world. You are transparent, bright, and others may be blue, gray, or black, and you maintain all sorts of personalities, backgrounds, and ways of doing things. You don’t have to know or understand other people’s ways, but you have to know people close to you, especially your partner. Of all the people here, he’s the one who’s been with you the longest. William has been in the business world. His color may be gray. Gray was a very neutral color. It was the color that protected him and his family the most. You don’t have to be like him, but you can understand. I believe he has a sense of propriety. That propriety is not hurting you and Bruce. ”
“How do you know?”
“Because I’m a man.”
“Dad, what you’re saying makes me feel much better.”
“Did you and mother have any friction when you first married?”
“Of course there is. Your mom is a brilliant and beautiful character. I’m a bit old-fashioned, and when I first got married, I often got a headache from her. Later on, your mother conquered me. ”
Elisa looked at Emily White who was carrying a bowl out, “Mom, how did you deal with Dad?”
“Very simple. I came to your father’s room one night and said, “Comrade Emman, did you marry your wife just for the separation and the cold war?” Then your dad made a concession. ”
Elisa curled his lips, “Not even worth .”
Emily White was angered, “Hurry up and eat. After eating, go back to your house. I finally got home, but I didn’t even buy a fruit. Baby, don’t you know you’ve been removed from our family? You’re already a guest here, OK? “
