Chapter 76: Fred’s phone love messages
“No, wife, you have to believe me” Fred hugged Elena, pressed her tightly to his chest, choked like a sob: “wife, don’t leave me, you have to believe me ……”
“Fred, I believe you, but you can’t just sleep outside, listen, get up.” Elena had a headache, she had experience in taking care of children, but this drunken man was even harder to take care of than children.
If a child is upset, at least you can pick him up and put him to bed, but Fred is such a big person, she can’t do anything about it, and she can’t just spend time with him here, she can only coax him.
“Did Kevin say something to you? honey, honey ……” Fred beamed, like a child having a tantrum.
Elena did not understand why he repeatedly mentioned her brother, in order to keep him from making a scene, only to say: “Yes, he called me and said he saw you with another woman.” Seeing Fred sitting up with an agitated look, Elena added: “But I do not believe him. So, be a good boy and sleep in peace.”
“Really? Honey, you ……” Fred said, suddenly stopped, Elena was shocked, anxiously said: “Fred, Fred ……”
Pulled away from his hand, see he did not move, Elena freaked out, thought he suddenly what happened, a closer look, only to know that he was asleep.This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.
Elena sighed and went back to her room to get a quilt to cover him up, and when she saw the phone on the bed, she froze and then picked it up.
Whether it was because of the alcohol or not, Fred was really out of sorts this evening.
Elena laid the quilt on the floor, and then helped him to lie down on it, not daring to make too much noise, for fear of waking him up and him making noise again.
After all this, Elena was sleepless, so she took out Fred’s cell phone. I wanted to see the call logs, but one by one there were many new text messages.
The number on the display was Secretary Bess, but the content of the text message was extremely ambiguous.
Fred, I’m sorry, I was wrong, I promise there will never be a next time, my mother that I will explain to her.”
”Fred, please forgive me, I will never say Elena again, I promise, this is the last time, can you not get angry again?”
”Fred, no matter how much you hate me, I still love you the same, I won’t give up on you ……”
‘I love you, love you, love you and will always love you ……’
‘I’m sorry, I know my mom went a little overboard tonight, but she cares about me too much, she’s taking you for a son-in-law and is afraid I won’t marry well ……’
Elena was dizzy, the phone in her hand fell to the floor, Elena’s whole body was like a statue, her mind was blank, it turned out that Fred’s drunken words were the truth.
The first thing that happened was that Fred and Bess, they were really together. So she wasn’t overthinking last time, they were really having an affair and had met their parents.
So what does that make her? What is she? Elena, who had always been strong and calm, cried out in disbelief.
“Wife …..” Suddenly sleeping on the floor Fred recited his wife, Elena freaked out and hurriedly wiped her tears.
After a few moments of silence, she found that Fred was not talking anymore and realized that he was just dreaming. But Elena didn’t dare to stay here anymore, she got up, went to the bedroom and closed the door behind her.
After reading the text messages, Elena couldn’t help but look at the call log again, and realized that every time Fred had a social call lately, it had been from Bess.
She wanted to tell herself that she couldn’t make wild guesses, that the most important thing between a couple is trust, but her heart couldn’t stop trembling. There is nothing wrong with a secretary calling to inform her boss of a social occasion, but why is she so uneasy.
Thinking about what Fred had been saying about his brother earlier, could it be that his brother knew he was with Bess?
Although it was four in the morning, Elena couldn’t control her restless heart and actually called Kevin at this hour.
“Brother.” Once the call came through, without waiting for Kevin to speak, Elena said.
“Are you Kevin’s sister?” The strange man on the phone asked.
“Yes, please ask my brother him.”
Elena was puzzled, how could a man answer her brother’s phone at this hour? But soon, Kevin’s voice interrupted her doubts, “Give me the phone.”
“Kevin’s sister, your brother has had a bit too much to drink at night, whatever he says, don’t take it seriously.” Before Kevin received the call, those friends of his went so far as to tell Elena on the phone in advance.
“My brother, he drank too?” Elena’s brain felt like it had been struck by lightning, connecting Kevin and Fred’s drinking inexplicably.
“Also, no way.”
“That’s enough, you guys give me back my phone.” Not waiting for the man to finish, Kevin growled and grabbed the phone back.
“Elena, where are you? It’s your brother.” Kevin seemed to be doing much better than Fred, and was able to speak clearly, though his tongue was a little fumbling.
Elena instinctively asked, “Brother, did you see Fred tonight.”
“Who are you listening to, brother just came back, how ……”
“Fred also drank tonight and was very drunk, he kept talking about you, brother, what do you know? Please don’t hide it from me.” Elena’s voice trembled a little, she was afraid to know the truth, yet she had to find out the truth.
“What did he say?” Kevin’s drink all of a sudden receded, he was now worried about Elena, if she really knew, would she be able to bear it?
“He’s with Bess isn’t he? And they’re on a date tonight?”
To tell that her husband had a woman outside and was dating that woman was great torture for Elena as a wife, as if the woman was plucking her heart with a knife.
“Elena, answer me first, have you still decided to stay with Fred? Do you still want to stay with him even if he has a woman outside? Aren’t you going to get a divorce?” Kevin asked seriously, as his close friends looked at him with bated breath one by one.
“Brother, I need to think about it, Jeffery and Jack can’t live without a daddy, I promised the kids ……” Elena tried to hold back her tears, but she couldn’t control herself when she thought of her two kids.
“What’s the difference between having a daddy like that and not having a daddy, Elena, at this point in time you don’t think about the kids, you think about yourself, are you going to put up with him having a woman out there, or even watching him marry another woman?” Kevin said angrily.
At this point, Kevin’s friend reminded next to him, “Bigamy is against the law in China.”
“You guys shut up, I’m talking to my sister.” Kevin glared at his friend and growled.
“Brother, can you tell me what you know?” Elena asked softly, suppressing her hurt.
“I’ll tell you tomorrow at noon when we have lunch together, but be prepared, remember, no one in this world can hurt you, don’t think nonsense, now listen to your brother and go get some sleep.” Kevin was very worried, afraid that Elena would do something stupid, but this will be, several of them drink too much can not drive not to mention, it is estimated that Elena will not leave Fred’s, so he just about tomorrow noon.
Elena hung up the phone, but how can not sleep, of course, not even bothered to see Fred sleeping outside the door, there are several times, she wanted to call Bess to ask her and Fred to develop to that stage.
Standing in front of the window, watching the sunlight eliminate the darkness, Elena could not feel a trace of warmth, and there was even a chill that spread throughout her body little by little.
She just stood there in front of the window, not even aware that her legs were numb, until the phone rang.
Elena wanted to answer the phone, but her numb legs couldn’t move, and the phone kept ringing. She was afraid of waking Fred outside, so she gritted her teeth and turned around, moved her feet, but stumbled and fell to the ground.
“The phone, my phone -” Fred, who was awakened by the sound of the phone, sat up, but this would be his head like someone with a small hammer incessantly hammering, painful as hell, he could not even figure out where he was or what was happening, his brain in addition to pain, or pain.
Elena fought the pain, limped to pick up the phone, hung up straight away, and sent a text asking her brother where to meet him.
Outside the room, sitting up Fred had an unbearable headache, which would be leaning against the wall rubbing his temples, the events of last night, slowly returning to his mind, holding the wall and standing up.
“Honey, how did I get back?” Fred held the wall, entered the room, saw Elena sitting there as if dazed, had a bad feeling, did he drink too much last night, said some bad words?
Elena slowly raised her head and looked at Fred’s for a while before saying, “It was a man named Albert who brought you back.”
“Sorry, I had a little too much to drink last night.” Fred rubbed his head and came to the bedside, trying to put his arm around Elena, trying to say something apologetic, but to his surprise Elena avoided it.
“Drink less later, I’ll put the bath on for you, a hot bath might be better.” Elena walked towards the bathroom, now, she didn’t know how to face Fred, never thought that one day, her husband, the man she loved, would cheat on her.
Even to the point of making up lie after lie for a woman, which reminded her of the photos.
“Baby, I’m sorry, did I hurt you last night?” Fred followed to the bathroom, although the alcohol had not passed, but Elena’s perversity he could see.
Elena, who was running the bath water, but suddenly looked back at Fred’s question with a smile and asked, “Do you mean physically, or mentally?”
“Ah – so serious -” Seeing the smile on Elena’s face, Fred followed it and came over and wrapped his arms around her and said, “Baby, then punish me, I’ll accept any punishment?”
“Do you really accept any punishment?” Elena looked at Fred and said seriously.
Fred smiled and said, “Of course, even if it’s kneeling on the keyboard, kneeling on the clothesline, or even kneeling on the stone, all are fine.”
