Chapter 38: My wife really forgot about me
Fred Garner didn’t stop her, he didn’t even say a word, such Elena, was his woman, he was looking forward to it more and more.
Today Fred Garner was in a very good mood, one person ate a meal for two, when he returned to the office, he did not bother Elena, he believed that Elena will definitely do not want to see him.
He decided to give Elena a few days until the end of the week, Fred Garner started to act again, he did not want to identify himself directly, he wanted Elena to fall in love with him first, and then confess his love, but now, it seems to be very difficult.
When he came to Elena’s house and knocked on the door, Elena didn’t even let him in.
When the knocking sounded, Elena hesitated slightly, and saw Fred Garner outside from the cat’s eye and stopped paying attention.
Elena took a look at the number and turned off the phone. Fred Garner sighed and put the roses and note on the door, he had a feeling that Elena would come out later.
Fred Garner didn’t wait any longer, he didn’t want Elena to resent him, but to let her grow to love him. Although they were married and even had a relationship as husband and wife, they had known each other for less than a hundred hours, and he didn’t dare to say that Elena would fall in love with him when he looked like that.
When he returned home, Fred Garner took out his wedding ring, perhaps hinting to Elena that this ring and the one on Elena’s hand were a pair, and I believe Elena would have remembered it.
He wants Elena to discover by herself a little, to make her fall in love with him a little.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
On Monday, when the new product launch meeting was held, Fred Garner purposely placed Elena at his side, and after not seeing her for a few days, Elena seemed to be more dazzling, challenging his endurance every second.
Since he knew that Elena was hais wife who disappeared five years ago, every time he saw her, his mind could not help but recall the three days of passionate lingering in the hotel.
“Elena designer, you come to my office in a moment.” At the meeting, Elena’s performance disappointed Fred Garner, he waved his hand with the ring in front of her eyes countless times, but she did not have any strange reaction.
Well, even if she didn’t think of it that wayv, at least, at least his name, should make her think a little, right? Or has she already forgotten his name?
“President, what can I do for you, please?” Elena reluctantly came to Fred Garner’s office, the president seemed to have a cramp in the meeting today, especially the hand that always waved past her eye blocked her view.
“Well, Elena, I have to admit that you are very tactful, you completely provoked my interest, I have been observing you for many days, and it turns out that you do not have a husband at all, every day to and from work, you are alone, moreover, you still live alone, moreover, you do not have any proof that you are married.” Fred Garner said with deliberate provocation.
“Fred Garner, I didn’t think you were a public-private person, it’s office hours and you called me in to say these boring questions.” Elena chilled a face, she hated people who did not distinguish between public and private, especially this kind of fake public and private.
“Ugh, did I? Elena, do you have a feeling of déjà vu, especially ……” Fred Garner sighed softly, he did not want to talk about this during work hours, but Elena is really difficult, after work, simply can not find The only way he could use this trick was to use it, not to mention that chasing his wife was also a big task.
Elena had a feeling of déjà vu, and to be honest, if he wasn’t as annoying as he is now, she would have a feeling of déjà vu, especially that kiss, just like ……
Elena looked at Fred Garner’s ‘deep’ eyes and sarcastically said, “President, don’t you think this trick of yours to pick up girls, has become outdated, do you want to add, we are former lovers ah.”
“That’s right, but to get rid of the word ‘past life’, we are lovers, and a couple.” Fred Garner stretched his arms and pulled Elena into his arms, he felt that Elena was really getting annoyed with him, it seemed that his plan would have to change a bit.
“Husband and wife? Lord President, I think you need to register for psychiatry, if the President feels embarrassed, you can ask Bess to help you register, I believe ……” Elena’s words stopped on her lips, only because Fred Garner took her hand, and their ringed fingers leaned together.
“Elena, don’t you think we have just the right pair of rings?” Fred said, he had said it all, if Elena did not understand, then he had to carry her to the bed and relive the old dream.
Elena was stunned for a moment, but quickly recovered and said in a tone of utter contempt, “President, is this the way you coax women? This ring, it’s very ordinary, you can buy it at any gold jewelry store.”
“Yeah, you’re right, I was going to buy a diamond ring, but that silly girl had to save me money.” Fred Garner said as he pulled out an invoice behind himself, and it was still five years old.
“What is this?” Elena’s hand trembled a little as she realized that maybe she had lost her way in the first place.
“Wouldn’t you know it if you looked at it?” Fred Garner coaxed.
Although he had a lot of ways to do it, or even just take out the marriage license, he felt that this was better than that, and if he took out the marriage license all at once, he was afraid that Elena would not be able to bear the blow.
“This is ……” Elena even her lips are trembling, this is the invoice five years ago, the address on it, the amount on it, repeatedly knocking the dusty memory.
But the man in front of me, the same man five years ago …… Yes, their names are the same, but the looks, more than a hundred thousand miles apart.
“Elena, didn’t you come back for me?” Fred Garner said.
“Five years ago, a girl in B City proposed to me on the street, and then dragged me to get a marriage license, I accompanied her home, but she rushed out in tears, after we honeymoon in the hotel, three days later, I went to shave a full beard, want to give her a surprise, did not expect …… “Fred Garner’s low voice, slowly recounting the story of the two five years ago.
Elena’s tears, like pearls with broken threads, blazed down.
“Impossible, impossible, at first Fred Garner is not like this, you can’t be him.” Elena could hardly accept that the man in front of her was the same man she had married five years ago.
But the truth is in front of her again, this face, no wonder it feels a little familiar, it turns out Jack and Jeffery are like him, it’s her fault for being stupid, at first she only felt that this face was a little familiar, how come she didn’t think of it.
“Elena, I’m really the same Fred Garner, five years ago, our marriage certificate is still there, Elena, I just shaved off the beard at the beginning.” Fred Garner explained repeatedly.
“Where have you been? I waited for you in the hotel for a week and then waited for you for a month after that, but I haven’t heard from you, where have you been?” The hurt that had been pressed into the bottom of her heart felt like a wound had suddenly been torn open.
Her family thought it was only three days, no big deal, even she herself didn’t know that the separation after those three days would be so traumatic.
For five years, she had been suppressing this pain in her heart, and now, looking at him, her chest felt like she had been punched in public. If,, if five years ago, such a man stood in front of her, she just wouldn’t have recognized him.
“Elena, I’m sorry, I had a little incident at home at the time, when I took care of things and came back to B City to look for you, you had already left, Elena, how have you been these years?” Fred Garner took Elena into his arms, seeing Elena’s tears, his heart was actually a little sour.
“You lied to me, it’s been five years, if you really had a heart, you would have found it long ago.” Elena, however, violently pushed Fred Garner away and accused with teary eyes.
Five years, he knew where her house was, even if she had left and asked Mom and Dad, he should have known where she was. Five years, if he had a heart, he would have found her a long time ago, why would he still wait for her to find her way back home.
“Elena, I searched, believe it or not you can ask your parents, they said you left to find your real parents, they don’t know where, Elena, although our marriage was a bit unbelievable at first, but in my heart, you are my wife, let’s start over?” Fred Garner looked at Elena with his heart in his hands, as if he was waiting to be pronounced.
“And what about now? When did you know that I was the Elena?” Elena’s eyes were teary, from the way things were going today, Fred Garner should have already known who she was? But all these days, he never made it clear, but instead ‘played’ her in different ways.
“Elena, listen to me explain, although at first I thought you were familiar, but I was not sure, then when I knew, I thought,, I wanted to pursue you again and make you accept me from your heart, so – Elena -” Fred Garner wanted to explain to Elena, but Elena Shaking his head, she stormed out of his office.
This was the first time Elena had skipped work in spite of everything, and it wasn’t that hard to accept, she should have been happy, but thinking about how she had been played like a fool by Fred Garner for the past few days, it was especially unpleasant.
Maybe in the past five years, Fred Garner has changed not only in appearance, but also in his heart, he is no longer the same homeless man from five years ago, or maybe she simply thought everything was too simple.
Elena couldn’t help but wonder if Fred Garner would have done what he did today five years ago.
She did not have the answer in her head, closed her eyes, the passion in her heart slowly faded, all these years, in fact, it was she who was deceiving herself, she and Fred Garner had only known each other for three days, and most of those three days were spent in bed, was there really a relationship between them?
There was some bitterness in her heart, they were perhaps better acquainted in the flesh than in the face. All day, Elena wandered the streets, all that came to her mind was Fred Garner, only it was two different faces, one from five years ago and one from now, and even though she knew it in her heart, she still couldn’t put the two faces together again.
