When she saw me looking at her and smiling, she froze and looked at me and said, “Did you want to ask about me and Leo?”
I was stunned, she smiled lightly and said, “It’s okay, Alan knows all about it, you don’t have to worry, you can ask anything, by the way, I almost forgot, Alan and I are planning to get married, originally I was going to drag you with me to try on wedding dresses, you know, I don’t have any close friends around these years, so when I think of these things that need to be done together with little sisters The first thing I thought of was you, but Clariana is sick right now and I know you must have your hands full.”
She said too much in one breath, I froze, light smile, “Clariana have my mother to watch, when you want to go to the wedding dress trial, you tell me in advance, just, between you and my brother really said clearly? Sunny is still too young, I actually quite support you, just … ”
She nodded and looked at me, “Clara, I know what you mean, but I will soon be thirty-three, a person’s most precious years are almost over, this life I let go, what I should do I have done, I am grateful that I can still meet Alan when I step into the poor alley, he can still love me like a spoiled child spoil me, let me know that there is another way to love, so that love. I want to live a good life with Alan, I’m sure what I want and what kind of life I want. I know you’re worried about your brother and Sunny, but Clara, I treat you as a friend, I hope you can put yourself in my place and think about me, OK?”
Yes, Karina has been guarding Leo for too many years, all these years, Leo all the bastard things she has broken teeth to their stomachs swallowed, years of submissiveness, so she almost forgot that she is also a woman who needs a man’s love.
She now wants to live her own life, so she left so decisively, Leo never knew, he lost in the end how precious, the rest of his life, he will never meet a willing to wait for him for several years, all want to warm him up.
I pulled her and said seriously, “Karina no matter what kind of decision you make, I and Uncle Link are all for you, after so many years Uncle Link has taken you as his daughter, I think he will also bless you, we are very grateful that you gave birth to Sunny for the Kennedy family, in the future The Kennedy family is your in-laws, you can talk to us if you have anything.”
She snickered and looked at me and said, “I knew you’d support me.” She reached out and poked Alan, who was driving, and said, “You hear that? You can’t bully me in the future, I have a mother’s family.”
Alan laughed nervously and spoke, “Fool, you’ve always had a mother’s family.”
I smiled lightly and suddenly felt that many times in life, there is no way to get what you want because the obsession is too deep, happy people, most of them are ordinary people between the firewood and salt.
Karina followed Leo for so many years, what she wanted from the beginning was a stable and solid home, three meals a day, children and him, but in the end Leo couldn’t understand, what he obviously wanted was just a home, but he didn’t know how to grab it, so he missed it and missed it.
When the car arrived at the airport, I got out and saw Jannings standing in front of the airport shivering in an autumn trench coat with a floral dress.
Seeing me get off, she pushed her suitcase towards me and jogged over, excitedly saying, “My God, you’re finally here, I’m freezing to death, I don’t know where this City P is good in the end, it’s cold as hell, it’s not a place for people to stay, and these people are still desperately trying to squeeze here.”
I listened to her complain and took the suitcase and prepared to put it in the trunk for her, but Alan was one step ahead of me and took the suitcase from me, smiling nervously, “I’ll do it!”
Karina took a thicker down jacket out of the trunk and looked at me and said, “Is this okay?”
I nodded, put the clothes on Jannings, looked at Jannings and said, “You should have called me before you came, so that I could also prepare your clothes in advance, by the way, didn’t you say you were coming with a friend? Where is she?”
Jannings wrapped up in her down jacket, warmed up a bit, looked around toward the perimeter and muttered, “She said to get some hot water to warm her hands, nooooo, here it is!”
She said she raised her hand and pointed to the airport exit, I followed the look over and coldly saw a familiar face, not someone else, it was Barbara who had been sending me messages a few days ago.
She was pushing her suitcase, her clothes were even thinner than Jannings’, her body was not very well, and she was a little bruised from the cold, and she seemed surprised to see me.
“Didn’t find any hot water? I told you this airport was too big to find.” Jannings saw nothing in her hand and spoke up.
I looked back at Karina with some embarrassment, and seeing this, she smiled, took another gray coat out of the trunk, and laughed, “It’s a good thing Alan didn’t send the clothes back that day!”
I smiled and said thank you and walked towards Barbara with my clothes in my arms, she looked at me, smiled and said, “Clara, hello again.”
Handing her the clothes in my hand, I smiled, “Well, hello again.” Of all the people, she seemed to be the only one who would call me that.
Jannings looked at us, surprised, and said, “You know each other?”
I nodded and smiled lightly, “I’ve seen it before.”
She skimmed her lips, “Fate!”
After a brief introduction, Alan put their suitcases in the trunk and got in the car, Alan looked at me and said, “Miss Kennedy, where are we going?”
I told him the address of the villa, nodded and started the car, Jannings spoke, “Don’t ah, I rented a house downtown, Clara, no need to go to your side, Barbara and I live there.”
I pursed my lips, “I had someone clean up at home, and it’s not convenient for you to live outside.”
“Oh, what’s inconvenient, I have a lot of things to do lately, if we go to your side to live, it must not delay your time to take care of us, besides it’s more convenient for us to live outside.” Jannings opened her mouth, chattering like a child.
I was about to say something else when Barbara said, “Let’s just stay out here. I heard from Grandpa Anthony that you’ve been doing a lot of things lately, so don’t worry about us.”
Seeing this, I did not say much, Alan drove to Jannings rented house in advance, really downtown, one bedroom, two rooms, two floors, not very large, but the space and layout are very cozy.
Karina had nothing to do, so she stayed with me and Jannings and packed up a bit and went to the mall together and bought a lot of winter clothes.
After a long day of tossing and turning, Jannings moved toward saying she wanted to stay the night and cook a hot pot for dinner, and Karina was quick to say, “Sure, and it would be nice for you to try Alan’s cooking together.”
