Cheney’s POV
I didn’t sleep thinking about the question of Krista, looking at the dark ceiling with my eyes, hesitating to tell her about Flora. A voice in my heart told me that I should tell Krista about this. But just that moment, I didn’t know how to speak. Why should I be guilty? I don’t know.
After dawn, Afra woke up first. She sat up happily and pushed me. “Uncle, uncle, it’s time to get up.”
I turned over and opened my eyes, just in line to Krista’s newly opened eyes.
After they looked at each other, Krista smiled. “Morning.”
“Morning,” I got up and looked at Afra, who was facing me. “Little girl, what are you doing up so early?”
“I feel so happy when I wake up with you and my second aunt. It feels like I’m sleeping with my parents.”
Krista sat up and rubbed Afra’s head. “Afra, your hair is like a bird’s nest. It’s messy.”
Afra rubbed her head and smiled at Krista. Krista got out of bed, “Get up, let’s wash, and later I will get you a beautiful hairstyle.”
I looked at two women, a cute little girl, and a tall beautiful lady. My lips suddenly raise by looking at the beautiful scenery.
Krista combed two braided hairs of Afra, which is very beautiful.
After breakfast, she and I sent Afra back to the Plum Court. Grandma said to me, “Cheney, come here later. I have something to talk to you about.”
Krista smiled. “There are still things on the construction site. I have to go to work first. Go and talk with your grandparents. I’ll see you later.”
Grandma took her out and asked the driver to take Afra to school. When I came back, I went to Grandpa’s study room with Grandma. Grandpa’s expression is as serious as ever, but Grandma is worried and sits beside me. “Cheney, Flora’s awake, what are you going to do?
Grandpa hum coldly. ” What can he do? The child is awake, that is, God has taken special care of her. Our Fischer family must be responsible to the end, and we can’t let the child be wronged for four years.”
Grandma rolled her eyes at Grandpa and said to me, “Of course we the Fischer family will be responsible. I’m asking Cheney now. I want to know what Cheney thinks.”
I sank, “Grandma, I know what you are worried about. Don’t worry, I know what to do.”
“If it weren’t for Krista, you would have married Flora.” Grandpa said.
Grandma glared at Grandpa. “Without Krista, Cheney would have married that Zaniyah a few months ago. Now, she is facing the same problem, except that she is a different person.”
Grandpa didn’t speak again, and Grandma snorted, “It’s all your fault. You have to force your children to get married immediately. Now, what can you say?”
“Aurora, why do you blame me for this? Didn’t I say it last night? I really didn’t expect Flora to wake up. After all, she has been lying down for four years. Does our Cheney need to wait for her?”
“Then you have no reason to blame Krista now.”
After that, Grandma looked at me. “Cheney, this is a bit sudden. Your grandfather and I didn’t sleep well last night, which is embarrassing for you. You need to settle about your wife and Flora, your first love that you have been thinking about for so many years. I really feel that I don’t know what to do. Do you… have any ideas in your heart?”
I saw Grandma carefully test my appearance, I can’t help but smile, “Grandma, this is my own problem. Don’t mind me. Everything will be fine.”
Grandma asked, “Do you already have an idea in your heart?”
Grandpa interrupted, “I see that he has an idea. Come on, don’t ask. Go, follow me to feed the parrot.”
He got up and walked to the door of the study room.
Grandma is anxious. “I can do it, I can’t be in the mood to serve those things with you now. I want to go by myself.”
“Okay, I’ll go by myself. You just have nothing to worry about yourself.” Grandpa said and left.
Grandma looked at me. “If it were before, your grandfather would definitely make you responsible for Flora, but recently… although he didn’t say a word about Krista’s goodness, he did change a lot about Krista. Krista is really good.”
“Grandma, you go with my grandpa.” I got up and soothed my grandma’s shoulder. “I’m not a three-year-old child. I know what to do and I can handle it.”
“I’m worried about your decision and who will be hurt. After all, Krista and Flora are fine, and Jacob has worked in our family all his life. I’m afraid you will be embarrassed.”
I smiled. “There’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I got married first. After Flora woke up, Uncle Jacob knew all of this and would understand me. I’m not going to divorce. Krista is already my wife. I can’t hurt her.”
Grandma nodded with confidence. “Well, Grandma knows that you will be very embarrassed about this matter, but I would also like to see you as a responsible man. Flora, we the Fischer family will treat her as a daughter. In the future, she will find a better person, and we the Fischer family will marry her off in a beautiful way, so as not to waste Jacob’s efforts to our Fischer family for half of his life.”
I smiled. Everything will be okay.
Krista’s POV
At eleven o’clock in the morning, it began to rain again. It rained harder continuously, and the project had to be suspended. A crowd sheltered from the rain in the barracks. Seeing the endless rain, Mr. Quincy asked the people from the headquarters to return to the company. After all, everyone is wasting a lot of resources here.
Not long after I got back to the office, I got a call from Cheney, who asked me to go upstairs to share lunch with him.
At noon, everyone went to the canteen one after another, so I went upstairs to go to Cheney’s office. When I came to the door of Cheney’s office, Milo wasn’t there, only Gia was at the door.
She glanced at me with disdain in her eyes. “There was an emergency meeting just now, and Mr. Cheney went to the conference room for a meeting.”
I ignored her, pushed open the door, and went into Cheney’s office.
After a while, Gia came in. “Mr. Cheney said, let me order for you. What do you want to eat?”
I cocked my legs. “Don’t you know my husband’s taste very well? Then you can watch and order something my husband loves to eat. I love to eat what he loves to eat.”
She pierced her mouth, turned and walked out, walked to the door, and then turned back and said, “By the way, Mrs. Fischer, did you hear that Mr. Fischer’s first lover is back?”
I raised my eyebrows. “Is she back? It’s the first time I’ve heard of such a person.”
“He didn’t tell you? In those days, he and his first love lady loved each other deeply.”
“Will you tell me about the story of his first love?” I hold, “Some feelings are forgotten, the past is the past. Failing to enter the marriage can only prove inappropriate. Take a predestined relationship, to tell the current love, do you think… Cheney is this kind of stupid without IQ?”
“They are not separated from their first love because they don’t love. They are separated from their first love because of accidents.”
“So, this is predestined, friends.” I nodded calmly.
She rolled a big supercilious look and said, “You are looking for excuses and words for your behavior of destroying other people’s feelings.”
“When I was with Cheney, I didn’t know that he had a beloved person. The truth was heard from your mouth, so, what kind of damage am I to other people’s feelings? It’s you, you know that Cheney has a loved one in his heart, but you still have to pester him. Isn’t it you who knowingly commit crimes to destroy other people’s feelings?”
She gnashed her teeth at me for three seconds, then opened the door and walked out.
Cheney was standing right at the door! He stared at Gia with a black face. “For the sake of the professor, I won’t fire you. However, if you go abroad to work for a year and transfer to the secretarial office downstairs, choose your own one. This is the punishment for your dereliction of duty as a secretary.”
He finished talking and pulled me away. We went to the basement and got in the car. He asked, “Are you hungry? Where do you want to eat?”
I looked at him and smiled. “Let’s go to the place where I took you before. It’s my favorite. You know where it is.”
He didn’t object, started the car, and left. On the way, I didn’t talk to him. I looked at the rain outside of the window, and my mood was not very good. Maybe because of the bad weather, we are the only guests in the dumpling restaurant today.
The wife of the restaurant owner is very happy to see me. As usual, she added a few Sandwiches for me.
While eating, I urge Cheney to eat from time to time. After eating, he put down his chopsticks and looked at me seriously.
I frowned and said, “Why don’t you eat? Isn’t it your favorite taste?”
“Aren’t you going to ask me?”
“Ask what?”
“I heard everything Gia just said to you.”
I smiled at him, “Ask your first love? I don’t ask.”
He was a little surprised. “Aren’t you curious?”
“To tell you the truth, I’m curious, but I think… if you don’t say it, you always have your reasons. If I ask, it will embarrass you.”
