Chapter 22: The lure of an old love
“Fred, your father he never touched me, never.” Anna seemed to be prepared, and seeing Fred Garner’s indifference, she surprisingly said again.
“Get out, get out–” Fred Garner roared, he did not want to know, he had no responsibility or obligation to this woman, she did not belong to The Garner people, and he, had his business to do.
“Fred, my heart has always been only you, do you know how I spent the six months you were away? Fred, you believe me, although I married your father in name, but nothing really happened between me and him? The reason he married me was to separate us, Fred–”
Anna cried, and instead of leaving immediately at Fred Garner’s angry scolding, she looked at him mournfully.
Fred Garner ignored her again and picked up his clothes to leave, but as he passed by Anna, she grabbed his leg.
“Let go!” Fred Garner ordered himself not to look down at her; this woman, there was no more credit to be had.
“Fred, I can’t live without you, can we start over?” Anna whimpered as she hugged his face.
“Let go of me–”
Fred Garner’s heart was in turmoil, the past, everything was gone, it was impossible to start over, even if everything she said was true, it was all gone.
He just dragged Anna out the door, and Anna, crying, just wouldn’t let go.
“Anna, I’m warning you again, get out of my sight and don’t let me see you again, or I don’t know what I’ll do next time.” In front of the elevator, Fred Garner shook off Anna, there was a limit to his patience, his father had just died and this woman came to seduce him, it was simply unforgivable.
“Fred, I really love you so much ……” watching the elevator doors close, Anna, hissed and yelled.
Fred Garner blocked out all the noise, so tired, tired of not wanting to think, not wanting to remember, I thought the physical tiredness could relieve the tiredness of the mind, did not expect, but added more pressure.
After leaving the company, he has been wandering the streets until the early lights, looking at the suddenly strange city, but can not find a place to rest.
This is a famous bar street, passionate music from various bars, he walked numbly into one of them.
Since that day Anna went to the company to find Fred Garner, once off work, he will soak into the bar, he does not drink, nor pick up girls, just quietly sitting there, order a drink, quietly sitting until the bar closed, sometimes take a nap inside.
Just every day during work hours, he would appear at the office on time. Anna didn’t give up and reported to the office every day at noon with her lunch, but no one paid any attention to her.
At first, the security guard would not let her in, she was noisy and made a scene, but then she stopped paying attention.
It was lunch break again, the employees had gone to eat, the office building was quiet for a while, and Anna went to Fred Garner’s office again.
She brought out the food and put it on the coffee table, Fred Garner still did not even look at her.
“Fred, today is the last time I bring you food, since you hate seeing me so much, then I go, as long as you are happy, as long as you have a good life, it does not matter what happens to me, go home, stop torturing yourself, if there is really a mistake, you really want to hate, just hate me.” Anna’s voice said forlornly.
“It’s a shame you didn’t go to the opera, since today is the last time, now, take your things and get out.” So many days, Fred Garner thought he had faded, a month has passed, but her patience is still quite good, if at first, or the same stubbornness, if at first she had also been this persistent, if at first she is also so patient, how will they come to this point today.Content © provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Fred, I …… know you can no longer accept me, I’ll leave when I’m finished, in the evening, go home and have a reunion dinner or break up dinner, as a farewell, I will never appear in front of you again.” Anna’s face with a light smile, looks even more charming and pitiful.
“There is no need, if you think you need to set off firecrackers to leave, please let Uncle Peter prepare for, for you, I have lost my patience.” Looking at the woman in front of him, Fred Garner’s heart was burning.
A year of passionate love, he thought he would marry this woman, he thought their love would stand the test, but never thought it would end up being a true and cruel lie.
“I know you’re resenting me, hating me, even doubting everything I said, but that’s the way it is, I know I shouldn’t speak ill of a dead man, but it’s the truth, I still remember it was the day before your father’s birthday, you originally said you were going to take me back to see your father on his birthday, so I was looking forward to getting a call from your father that day, I even dressed up that day, just I hope to give your father a good impression, we met in the cafe, the first look, I think your father is very kind …… after I drank the juice, then some dizzy, then I do not remember anything, woke up, but in the hotel room, and there are strange men in the bed … … “Anna with tears and a poignant smile that leaves no room for doubt.
Fred Garner was silent, he did not drink as usual to block, with Anna’s warm, sad voice back to that time.
“Finished, the heart felt much more comfortable, until now, I still have nightmares every night ……” Anna said, bean-sized tears fell, dripping into the carpet.
See Fred Garner did not make a sound, she wiped out the tears, choked: “I’m leaving, you remember to eat on time in the future, in the evening, if you work late, be sure to ask Uncle Peter to prepare a snack for you.” Anna repeatedly admonished, and only after a long time, she left with a fondness.
“Why? You didn’t tell me then.” As Anna’s hand reached the door handle, Fred Garner’s hoarse voice finally reached her ears.
“I wanted to say it, but I didn’t have the courage. You said …… you said that the good first time should be saved for the newlyweds, but …… but I’m not clean anymore, and I don’t deserve you… … And, your father …… your father still has the tape, I can’t ……” Anna cried, turning around and flinging herself into Fred Garner’s arms.
“And now what? Now why say it again?” Fred Garner’s voice was hoarse, he was so tired, he didn’t want to ask who was right and who was wrong anymore, he just wanted to obey his heart.
“I don’t know, I just don’t want to leave you anymore, Fred, don’t leave me anymore, don’t leave me ……” Anna cried, her hands clutching at Fred Garner’s body.
“It’s too late, everything is too late between us ……” Fred Garner looked at the teary-eyed face and couldn’t help but bow his head.
Red and pale lips overlapped, glued together, passion was instantly ignited, Fred Garner’s tie was yanked away and his shirt fell to the carpet, his chest was more than a few slender bloodstains, and Anna’s fullness was in full view, infinitely beautiful, Fred Garner let out a low growl and buried his head in it ……
The long skirt was lifted to the waist, the passion quickly heated up, seeing that everything was going to happen inevitably.
“The sound of the phone ringing …… was like a pot of cold water, quenching Fred Garner’s fire of desire.
“You get out of here right now.” Fred Garner breathed, he almost fell into hell, almost made an unforgivable mistake.
“Fred, I’m sorry, I …… I’m leaving tomorrow, will you be home for dinner tonight?” Anna organized his clothes and looked at Fred Garner, who had not looked up from his hand propped on the table, and said.
“I know, you go.” Fred Garner’s voice had regained its composure until the door opened and the door slammed shut before he slammed his fist hard on the desk.
He almost did it, almost did it, that woman was his father’s wife, how could he. Fred Garner flung himself in the face in shame, and then went to the break room to take a cool shower before regaining his composure.
After work, Fred Garner sat in the car is very hesitant, since his father left, he did not live in the house, but tomorrow the woman will move out, he should go back to see her off, right?
When she heard the sound of the car, Anna was overjoyed. Tonight, she had put on light make-up and prepared dinner carefully, there was no one else in the house but her, and Uncle Peter and the others had been excused.
“Fred, you’re back, I’ll put the bath water on for you.” Anna greeted him and set up Fred Garner’s shoes.
“No need, where is Uncle Peter?” The silence in the house made Fred Garner frown uncomfortably.
“Uncle Peter has gone out to buy something, he may come back later, you go change first, soon you can eat.” Anna went into the kitchen with a shy smile.
Back to the room, Fred Garner some regret, this trip seems not to come back, the man’s intuition tells him that something is not right tonight, Uncle Peter and Ailie, where have they all gone? And the driver, where did they all go?
“Fred, are you ready? It’s time to eat.” Fred Garner collapsed on the bed and before he could make sense of it, Anna’s voice came in. He sat up reflexively, quickly changed his clothes and finally got out of the room before Anna came in.
After the one at noon, he is now a little afraid, afraid of the woman in front of him, afraid of his own uncontrollable heart.
“Wait for Uncle Peter and the others, you’re leaving tomorrow, let’s all have dinner together.” Fred Garner went downstairs, saw that the lights in the living room and dining room were turned off, only candles, could not help but sweat, vaguely, he felt that something might happen, would last, reason told him that he should leave now immediately, but his eyes could not help but glance at the ……
God, she actually changed into lace pajamas, candlelight, her vaguely delicate body is emitting the resulting body scent.
“I remembered, I have an appointment with someone tonight, this meal should be another time.” Fred Garner wanted to leave, but Anna floated over lightly and wrapped him tightly from behind.
“Fred, don’t go, you said that you would treat me to a candlelight dinner with me on my birthday, and today is my birthday, have you forgotten?” Anna’s cheek rubbed through her dress, stirring every nerve in Fred Garner’s body.
Her birthday? Was it her birthday?
