I was silent for a moment, because she can’t face it, I understand it, but… can she hide for a lifetime?
She doesn’t know how eager I am to take her back and tell my grandparents that my heart is back.
So that my grandparents don’t have to worry about her anymore.
But why does she don’t understand at all?
Thinking of these, my heart was depressed. So I got up, slammed the door without looking back and left.
Krista’s pov
I sat on the sofa, with some desolate heart, turned to look at the bracelet on the dinner table and asked myself, “Dad, what should I do?”
On my first night back in City A, I didn’t sleep well. More than half of the reason is that Cheney left like that, which made me feel bad.
I don’t know why I care so much about his anger.
So I reminded myself that I should not think too much, and sleep well.
But… I still have insomnia.
The next day, I woke up after ten o’clock. After lunch, there was still no movement from Cheney.
In my mind, that’s all right. He didn’t bother me, but I am not totally happy to be quiet.
Back in bed, I half lay down and dialed Echo’s phone.
On the other end of the phone, Echo’s voice came, “Hello, hello.”
“Echo…”
Echo hesitated for three minutes before she shouted excitedly, “Krista?”
“It’s me.” My voice is a little astringent.
On the other end of the phone, Echo suddenly went quiet.
“Echo, I’m sorry, I…”
“You shut up,” Echo spoke angrily. “You dead girl, do you still know how to call me? Do you know how annoyed I am and want to contact you, but I don’t know your number? How can you not contact me for six months? Wait a minute, why did you call me with your mobile phone number this time?”
Over the years, as a precaution, I only used the local pay phone to call Echo when I was away on business.
For more than half a year, I haven’t been on a business trip, so I haven’t contacted her for a long time.
“Echo, let’s meet.”
“Meet? Where are you?”
“I went back to City A.”
Echo was nervous. “Why are you back? Is there a new strategy?”
“Where did the strategy come from? Cheney found me.”
“He forced you to come back? He is already with a beautiful lady. Why would he force you to come back?”
I sipped my lips. “It’s a long story. Let’s meet first. I really miss you. I want to say a lot to you.”
“I am attending an activity in City M now. You wait for me and I will book a plane ticket back.”
“Don’t rush too much. Anyway, I won’t leave again in the future. You can finish your own affairs with peace of mind.”
“No, I must fly back at once. Even if I fly back now, it will already be tomorrow to see you.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
When I hang up, I breathe some air. It’s good to be back to City A, for example… I can see my friends again.
When I got into bed, I took another nap and woke up at four o’clock in the afternoon.
I was cleaning my room when there was a knock at the door.
I looked in the direction of the door and knew that not many people would come here.
If Lockie wants to come, he will definitely call, if it is Cheney, no, I wish it’s not.
I went to the door and asked, “Who is it?”
“Mrs. Fischer, I am Eli, on the orders of the young master, I came to take you back to the Fischer’s mansion.”
My eyebrows are closed. Cheney always likes to make his own decisions.
I’ve made it clear that I’m not going to the Fischer’s mansion.
“Mrs. Fischer, the young master said that if I can’t take you back, I could never go back. Would you please help me?”
Here we go again.
Cheney really knows how to handle me.
I opened the door and said to Eli at the door, “Okay, please wait for me downstairs for a while. I will just tidy up before I can go.”
“Well, Mrs. Fischer, thank you. Thank you very much.”
I pulled the corners of my mouth. “Well… Eli, in the future, you should call me Miss Krista.”
“Sorry, Mrs. Fischer, but we didn’t receive that notice. We really didn’t dare to change what we were used to calling you.”
I have no choice.
Eli went downstairs first.
I closed the door and called Cheney, but he didn’t answer.
What a… smelly man.
I went back to my room, picked out a dress and put it on, and simply put on light makeup before going downstairs.
When I passed the supermarket door, I told Eli to stop for a while. I went in and bought a lot of gifts, and then we started to travel again.
Arriving at the Fischer’s mansion, it’s already after six o’clock.
The driver parked his car directly at the door of the Plum Court.
When I got out of the car, Cheney stood at the door and waited for me.
He stepped forward and evoked his lips at me. “Not bad, you also dressed up.”
I stared at him unhappily. “Cheney, you are really bored. Why did you threaten Eli? Why didn’t you answer your phone?”
“When did I threaten him? A driver can’t do a good job of connecting and sending. Why do I keep him? As for not answering your phone, it is natural because I didn’t bring my mobile phone.”
I breathed and looked up at the sky, unable to get angry.
He patted me on the shoulder. “Look at you, all dress up.” After saying that, he took my hand and we walked into the house.
I shook his hand off.
He stared at me, and I gave him a white look, reopened the car door and took out the gift box.
He couldn’t help but laugh and came forward to help.
When he took me into the Plum Court with a gift box in his hand, grandpa and grandma in the living room were stunned.
“Grandma and Grandpa, look who I brought.” Cheney said.
Grandpa snorted, stood up and walked to the study.
Grandma sat on the sofa for half a minute, then stood up and went into the study.
I stood where I was, drooping my eyes.
Grandpa and grandma, they are both very angry.
After all, I said goodbye without actually saying goodbye in person.
I sniffled and looked up at Cheney. “I’ll go back first. You can appease grandpa and grandma.”
He put down the gift box, turned around and grabbed my wrist. “Is that the courage you all got?”
“Cheney, it’s not a question of courage. Your grandparents are angry with me. I can understand that it is inappropriate for me to appear here. I really don’t understand why you want me to come back.”
“What you see is only the change you have brought to our family. Is it difficult to admit that this change is caused by you?”
Cheney added, “If you hadn’t married the Fischer family, my grandparents wouldn’t have been like this. Do you know how much you broke their hearts? Until now, when they think of you, their hearts are sad. How much they expect from you, don’t you understand? Some things, you don’t face, can you escape them for a lifetime? Is it so difficult for you to admit a mistake to them without saying goodbye? Are you really going to stop hanging out with me, the Fischer family, my grandparents for the rest of your life? They are over eighty. How much time do you think they have? ”
I was silent, drooping my eyes, my eyes flushed, and the fog covered my sight.
I know, I know everything, but… I am also very wronged.
Cheney pulled me to the sofa and pressed my shoulders. “Sit here and wait. Today, the Fischer family, whether you want it or not, you must face them.”
After he said that, he turned and walked to the door of Grandpa’s study, knocked at the door and went in.
