Chapter 53: Aaron reports to Fred
Elena went to the study and waited for a while before Kevin came up.
“Elena do you hate your brother that much?” Kevin closed the door to the den, heartbroken.
“You’re my brother.” Elena didn’t answer, just said emphatically.
“Yes, I’m your brother, I’ve been your brother for twenty-two years, but we’re not related by blood, Elena, you never treated me like this until your life was revealed.” Kevin wanted to come closer, but Elena went to the other side, making it clear that she wanted to keep a safe distance.
“I’m sorry, I was wrong five years ago, please forgive me .” Elena said with her head bowed.
“Elena, you know that’s not what I want, Fred Garner, the president of The Cloud Group is the same Fred Garner right?” Kevin sat down and looked at Elena.
Aaron’s identity made him think and understand why this Aaron was there, and the more he knew the answer, the more unbalanced he became.
Their relationship of more than twenty years was no match for the relationship of three days, Fred Garner, that man and Elena had only spent three days together, did Elena really love him? Or is it because of the child, the one Elena carried five years ago was not born?
“Brother, he and I are a registered couple.” Elena couldn’t deny that although the world was big, the business circle was not. Since her brother said it, he was sure that there was neither a way to hide it nor a need to hide it.
“Have you been in touch in the past five years?” Kevin clenched his hand again, if this is really the case, in the first place he could not accept it emotionally.
“No, I haven’t been in contact with anyone in the past five years.”
Kevin yelled in grief, “But you looked for him as soon as you got back, you didn’t even contact your family before you went to him, is a man you spent three days with more important than your family?”
“If I said it was just a coincidence, would my brother believe me? When I returned home, I wanted to find a job first and settle down, but I didn’t expect to get into his company.” Knowing that her brother was angry, Elena didn’t try to hide it, but just told the truth.
“Is it really just a coincidence? Did you give birth to that child back then?” Kevin looked at Elena with love and hate. For the past five years, Elena’s pregnancy had been bothering him.
How many times in these five years, he had woken up with such nightmares, he always dreamed of Elena appearing in front of him with the baby.
Elena’s silence gave him the answer.
Kevin asked in a low voice, “Does he know?”
Elena was silent again for a moment before saying, “I haven’t thought about telling him yet.”
Kevin was stunned, and then laughed out loud, “Hahahahaha ……”
He could imagine what it would be like if Fred Garner found out one day, but …… suddenly he stepped forward and took Elena by the shoulders and said, “You’re back to find a father for your child?”
Elena did not deny, even now, she still think so, the children are still young, they need a sound family, no better man, than their own biological father, “the child needs a father.”
Kevin said eagerly, “I can too, Elena, I will be more competent than him, for so many years I have been worried about you mother and child, give me a chance, I will prove to you that I am better for you and better for the child than he is.”
When Elena didn’t answer, Kevin gripped his hands even tighter, pinching Elena’s arms painfully.
“Brother, you’re hurting me, I don’t want to talk about it yet, I’m coming back for a few days and I have to go back to work in a few days.” Elena tried to push Kevin away, but his grip on his hands was too tight.
Kevin heard Elena screaming in pain and immediately let go of his hands and kept apologizing, “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to do it, I was just too nervous, Elena, you can’t make one mistake after another.”
“Brother, please don’t be like this, okay? In my heart we will always be brother and sister, besides, what happened five years ago, I never consider it a mistake and I don’t regret it.” Once Elena got free, she hurried to a side sofa and sat down, saying seriously.
“Okay, Elena, if you really still think of me as a brother, listen to me, you can’t let Fred Garner know about the baby, even if you don’t think it was a mistake, but what about him? As far as I know, there are not many women who have had scandals with him in the past five years, does he have feelings for you? If he has another woman, and you let him know about the baby, he will snatch it away.” Kevin’s brain boomed, at this time, he could no longer force Elena to accept him, he must first solve Fred Garner, the love rival.
“He won’t.” Elena stubbornly said, in fact, this question has been bothering her since she returned home, especially recently, Fred Garner’s performance, which made her hesitate even more.
But in front of her brother, she couldn’t act hesitant, she had to be a little decisive and resolute to break her brother’s mind before she could. She can only accept the brother of five years ago, if he has been like this, she is afraid that she will have to avoid him until the ‘sister-in-law’ appears.
“Elena, let’s do a test, if Fred Garner is really a good man, your brother will help you and let you be together, but you also have to promise me that if he is not a good man, you will have to leave him and get the divorce out of the way.” Kevin took out the gesture of a brother at this time, and he deliberately emphasized the identity of a brother.
Elena sniffed, actually inexplicable heart trembling, shook her head imploringly said: “Brother, I do not need to do any test, no matter what, he is ……”
After more than 20 years of being brother and sister, Kevin sensed Elena’s uncertainty in her expression and tone of voice, so he provoked her by saying, “Elena, you’re afraid too, right? You’re afraid he’s going to let you down. Afraid that he won’t be a good father. Afraid that he already has a woman, or that he had a girlfriend five years ago and just didn’t tell you.”
Kevin’s words sent another shiver down Elena’s spine; she really hadn’t thought about it five years ago, and Fred Garner had never said that.
“Brother, don’t say anything, I know what to do, I won’t let him know about the baby until I’m sure.” Kevin’s words made Elena, who was already a little uncertain, waver and decide not to tell Fred Garner about the baby for now.
Kevin solemnly said, “Yes, you can’t repeat the mistake aunt made back then.”
“Auntie, you mean” Hearing Kevin’s words, Elena froze, not responding for a moment.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
“It’s your mother, Elena, in addition to looking for you in these five years, I found news from Dad and found your mother.” Kevin threw down the bait and said.
“My mom?” Elena looked at Kevin in a daze, five years ago, she wanted to go to her mom, and after having a child, she wanted to go to her even more, for no other reason than to know why she abandoned her in the first place, and who her dad was.
Elena and Kevin were talking in the study and lost track of time. Aaron, who had been excused, didn’t go to rest, he waited in the living room for Elena to come down, but an hour had passed and Elena hadn’t come out of the study, so he was a little worried.
He went upstairs to the study and saw that the door was closed, so he couldn’t knock on it. So thinking, he went downstairs, this daytime really sleep not touch, so he and Lily said, intend to go around the neighborhood.
He did not drive, just wanted to walk around the neighborhood, walking, walking, the more I thought about it, the more puzzled I felt. He wanted to call Elena and ask her, but on second thought, since it was about the boss and Elena, it would be the same to ask the boss, so he called Fred Garner’s number.
“Fred, not long ago, I heard Elena’s brother say that she got married five years ago, gossip, do you know? There are plenty of these women, and it’s good to have some control over your feelings, especially if you’re married.” Aaron called Fred Garner’s office, and to avoid being scolded, his first words were.
“What else did he say?” Fred Garner on the other end of the phone could not help but wrinkle his eyebrows, remembering that The Costa family did not like him, especially Elena’s brother.
“Other than that, he didn’t say anything, but he and Elena went to the study to talk, more than an hour ago, still haven’t come out, as far as I can see, Elena seems to be very afraid of this brother who has a sister complex, but it’s all about their brother and sister, honestly, do you know Elena is married or not?” Aaron saw Fred Garner did not answer again asked.
“Her husband is me.” Not waiting for Aaron on the other end to respond, Fred Garner added, “Aaron, go check on Elena and try not to leave them alone if you can.”
“Fred, seriously, when did you get married? You weren’t …… five years ago.”
“I’ll tell you about it when you get back, so hurry up and get Elena down here and tell her I’m looking for her.” Fred Garner said with impatience.
“But that’s not very nice, is it, they ……” Aaron was about to say, Fred Garner had hung up the phone straight away.
“Wow, it looks like there’s an adulterous affair between Fred and Elena, how come I didn’t know about it before? Married? Five years ago, is this true or not?” Aaron looked at his phone and muttered to himself.
This is now his curiosity is completely aroused, in order to know the truth, it seems that he has to watch Elena. right now, if he had known, he would have found a way to listen to Kevin and their siblings chatting what chatting for so long. But the boss will only say, want to listen to I’m afraid can not listen.
Aaron, who originally wanted to go out for a spin, rushed back as soon as he received the order from Fred Garner, but when he returned to The Costa family, Elena had already come downstairs and was sitting there eating fruit and watching TV, while Kevin, sitting next to her, was talking and laughing, and the gloomy expression before and after lunch was completely different.
“Elena, you siblings have a nice chat.” Aaron said as he sat down between the two siblings. If it were an hour ago, Kevin would have punched him in the face, but now, Aaron looked sideways and Kevin was calm and smiling as he handed Elena a snack.
“Yeah, Aaron, if you’re not tired, I’ll take you out for a spin.” Elena tapped Aaron on the shoulder and said in a cheerful mood.
“Good, you’ve been away for five years too, I’ll be the driver and guide today, you two can go there if you want.” Kevin followed and stood up, brother and sister, one hand on each other, on Aaron’s shoulder.
