Finally I Got You

“Brother, it’s been five years thanks to James, otherwise I don’t know how I would have brought up these two naughty kids by myself.” Elena pulled over her youngest son and said with infinite doting.

The most important thing is to have the children with her, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to make it through, and she wouldn’t have been able to endure five years before returning home.

“Elena, you are a strong and brave woman, I’m honored to be your friend, and I’m blessed to have two such smart little babies.” James said immediately.

In these five years, James had learned Chinese from Elena as well, and they were still neighbors.

“Elena, in that case, then tonight will be my treat to thank you for taking care of my sister in these five years.” Kevin was jealous in his heart, but the basic gentlemanly manners were still there.

“Brother, I still need to trouble you to accompany Jeffery and Jack for me tonight, James and I have some business.” “Mommy, I want to stay with Mommy, tonight, Mommy don’t go to Daddy’s okay?” Once Jeffery heard that, he slid off James’ lap and went over and hugged Elena’s hand and shook it.

“Mommy, you’re not going to have a date with him?” Jack’s little brow furrowed again, so mature for his tiny age, making Elena worry.

“Baby, don’t act like a little adult, okay? Mommy is worried about you like this. Mommy promised you that in a week, she will go back to Italy with you guys, so don’t worry too much about Mommy, okay? Just be like Jeffery and do what a five year old should do, okay?” Elena pinched her son’s little nose and coaxed.

“I’m not going to be like Jeffery the idiot, Jack is going to protect Mommy and not let anyone bully Mommy, even if he’s Daddy.” Jack clenched his little fist and said incomparably serious.

The next thing Kevin saw made him straight sweat, this little kid, not even five years old has this kind of momentum, in the future when he grows up will be a good thing.

“Baby, with Uncle James around, no one can bully Mommy, you should trust Uncle, besides, even if your daddy is bad, he won’t hit a woman, so you help Mommy have dinner with Uncle tonight, okay?” Elena really cried and laughed a little.

“It’s okay, leave it to me, I’ll take care of them.” Kevin immediately assured.

If it was someone else, he might have been a little worried, but Fred? He was happy, he wanted to see the look on Fred’s face when he saw James, better yet, let him drown in vinegar.

Only after Kevin had taken the two children away did James ask worriedly, “Elena, is there a conflict between you and Jack’s daddy?”

“James, don’t believe the children’s childish words, well, get ready, I’ll go check on them, he should get off work later, we can go straight to the restaurant later.” Elena didn’t want to talk to anyone about what happened between her and Fred, so she got up and said.

“OK. then I’ll rest for a while, when we leave, you call me.” James saw Elena’s evasive look and stopped asking questions, he was not an Oriental after all, in the West what they value most is personal privacy, unless Elena wanted to talk, he would not ask again and again.

In the hotel, Elena and James arrived first, this time Fred ordered Chinese food, but Elena did not order food, after all, this is Fred’s treat, so everything will wait for him to come and say, she just ordered tea, she and James sat drinking tea and chatting. But the conversation was all about work, and not about personal matters.

By the time Fred arrived, both of them were full from their tea.

“Sorry, I’m late with the traffic.” Fred said after coming in and looking at James and extending his hand.

“It’s okay, Elena already told me about the traffic situation in China, and besides, we haven’t seen each other for a long time, so it’s good to have tea and chat like this.” James said politely.

“James, this is Fred, Fred, James is my friend and moreover my teacher.” Elena got up to introduce the two.

Although Elena had already been introduced, Fred reintroduced himself all over again and added the identity of husband, “Hello, thank you so much for taking care of Elena these five years, I am her husband Fred.”

“Hello.” James didn’t seem to understand Fred’s meaning, just nodded politely.

While waiting for the food to be served, Fred talked to Elena and seemed to intentionally ignore James.

“Honey, are you uncomfortable today? You’re pregnant now, you can’t be too tired.”

“Ah! Elena, you’re having another baby?” James sniffed in shock.

Fred didn’t miss the word ‘another’ in James’ words, but he didn’t think much about it, just thought that foreigners, who didn’t understand Chinese, used improper words and said, “James, this is my first baby with Elena, please pay attention to your words.”

“James is not Chinese, the words used may be a little inappropriate, so you should not take it into account.” Elena was really scared out of her cold sweat and hurried to cover up.

“Sorry, I said it wrong, congratulations, congratulations!

James looked at Elena apologetically and hurriedly covered up his slip of the tongue with congratulations, good thing Fred really didn’t think of that.

But James’s apologetic eyes, in Fred’s eyes became a different matter. He could not help but be a little upset, and at that moment it was time to start serving food, so Fred asked the waiter to let two more bottles of white wine.

“James, we Chinese talk about entering the country and following the customs, since you are here in China today, you must understand our Chinese food habits, this wine is a cheerful thing, it is essential at the table of Chinese banquet guests.”

“Chinese white wine!!! No, no …… I can’t drink it.” James waved his hand as soon as he saw the wine brought out.

“Maotai is our national wine of China, must try, come, I toast you, although we meet for the first time today, but I heard Elena said early on, Mr. James is funny, warm, is a rare mentor, this cup you must drink.” No matter how James said ‘no’, Fred raised his glass, and seeing James’ repeated refusal, he even stood up.

“Fred, James is not used to drinking Chinese white wine, why don’t we order wine or brandy?” Elena saw Fred repeatedly persuaded to drink, and couldn’t help but worry a little, so she said.

“Do you want to follow the customs? Besides, he has taken care of you for five years, as a husband, you should toast him to show your appreciation.” Fred, however, did not give up and said.

“OK, one glass then, just one?” James picked up his glass and repeatedly emphasized.

Although James said only one glass, but when Fred persuaded one glass, one glass became two, three, four …… ten glasses, Elena looked at the two empty bottles, want to be angry, but can only be forced to hold back.

She knew Fred was intent on getting James drunk, but now the opposite seems to be true: James may look a little tipsy, but Fred himself is even talking a little tongue-tied, not to mention the red eyes.

But even so, Fred still had to say it, and he even got a little angry when Elena persuaded him to do so.

“Fred, that’s enough.” Elena angrily snatched down Fred’s glass.

“Honey, don’t spoil the fun, be a good girl and give me the glass.” Fred can’t even speak well anymore, yet he still wants to drink.

“Good. Since Mr. Fred is so hospitable, then I will accompany you to the end, tonight,, tonight without getting drunk.” James smiled, stood up, holding a glass of wine to Fred said.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.

In the end Elena could only watch the two drink on the table, but although Fred was drunk first, he got down after James. She had to call Albert to come and take Fred away.

When James was lying on the table, Fred laughed heatedly, “wife, or your husband I am more powerful, right–”

Elena was so amused and angry that she finally had to call Albert to come and take him back.

“Elena, is Fred okay?” Albert wondered on the way if Elena and Fred had had a fight, or else why they were drinking again.

“He’s fine as can be, he’ll be on the table by now. Tonight, I’ll ask you to take him back for me, I need to take James back to the hotel.” Elena said to Albert.

Fred would be drunk anyway, so she wasn’t going to go back, she was going to the hotel to be with her son.

“You’re not going home for the night?” Albert looked at the blond hair on the table and was worried.

“I can’t leave James alone in the hotel when he’s new to China and Fred is so drunk.” Elena made a face of helplessness.

“Elena, if you don’t come back tonight, I think Fred will wake up tomorrow and be furious, and it will be the end of the world.” Albert continued to advise.

“Let him be, let him have a good wake up call, he obviously can’t drink, but must be like this, he is drunk, even if you have to get James drunk, this makes people how to understand us Chinese.” Elena glared at the drunken and senseless Fred, vomiting as if she was angry.

“Well, then, do you have your ID on you? Do you need me to book a room for you?” Albert asked in a roundabout way.

“No, I’ll just get a room by myself later, Fred will trouble you.” Elena said moving to James picking up his head and patting it, “James, can you stand up?”

“Oh …… Elena, my head hurts, Chinese wine is really good ……,” James looked up with difficulty and raised his thumb to Elena.

“Can you walk out on your own?” Elena looked at James, the visitor was a guest, and chastising now was both unhelpful and unnecessary.

“Ofcourse, baby-go-” James said, standing up and shaking his station to walk out the door.

“OK, let’s go back then, you put your hand on my shoulder.” Elena said coming forward to help James.
