Chapter 66: What the hell did I do?
“You ask also for nothing, ask Bess, you might as well call 10086. “Aaron took Fred’s phone and called 10086 directly.
“Forget it, it’s pointless to ask.” Fred sat on the couch and looked at the phone.
He didn’t expect a repeat of what happened five years ago, the difference being that five years ago Elena was carried away by Kevin, and now, most likely, it was his own self-righteousness that pissed Elena off.
Thinking of the reunion, Fred vowed to get Elena back no matter what, never to let the tragedy of five years ago happen again.
Fred plucked the phone number of The Costa family, before asking, Rebecca asked him if Elena had returned, Fred only had to say yes, afraid that Rebecca wanted Elena to listen to the phone, a few perfunctory words, then hung up the phone.
And at that moment, Aaron’s side also had the result.
“Fred, my sister-in-law did call your cell phone this afternoon, and the call lasted for more than a minute, so it seems that things couldn’t be more obvious.” Aaron handed the phone back to Fred and said with a look of I guessed it right.
“What’s the point of knowing, all I want to know right now is where Elena is at this moment?” Fred stood up and looked as if he was going out to find Elena.
“Wait, Fred, do you know where your sister-in-law has gone?” Aaron shouted from behind.
“I’ll find her.” Fred said without looking back.
Aaron chased all the way out and exclaimed, “What if she went back to Italy?”
“I’ll go to the airport.” Fred froze and said decisively.
“Wait for me, I’ll come with you.” Aaron hurriedly locked the door and quickly chased out, which would have started Fred’s car, Aaron couldn’t care less about his own car, pulled open the door and jumped into Fred’s car.
Fortunately, the rush hour traffic jam was over, and eighty minutes later, they finally arrived at the airport. The two of them split up, Fred to check the flight, and Aaron to check if Elena had left at the service desk.
From the point of view of Elena’s time, she was definitely not able to catch the flight to Florence, even if she arrived in other cities close by.
So would Elena still be here? If she was just angry, there was no need to return to Italy. Or had she checked into a hotel?
Fred looked at the time, it would be ten o’clock at night, should we continue to wait at the airport, or go back and wait?
Just as Fred was leaving or staying, Aaron came running out panting, “Fred, it’s not good, Elena is on the last flight to LA this afternoon.”
“What? She’s gone to LA, for real?” Fred’s brain exploded, like a bomb had exploded in his head.
So she really wasn’t going to come back? She just gave up on their relationship? Gave up on their marriage?
“Yeah, what’s going to happen now? Do you want to catch the first flight to LA tomorrow?” Aaron didn’t expect things to be this big, that Elena would leave without even saying hello.
“Let’s go back.” Fred grimaced and headed for the parking lot.
“Fred, aren’t you going after her? At the very least, you have to explain, you can not be so misunderstood, you can not, do you want to have to wait another five years?” Aaron trotted behind, persuading.
“No more waiting, since this is her decision, then I respect her.” Fred gambled.
“No, I don’t think it’s Elena’s fault, you’re responsible, and Bess of course, maybe if we ask Bess what she said on the phone this afternoon, we can find out why Elena left” Aaron tugged on the car door, refusing to let Fred get in.
Fred sat in the car, and if Aaron hadn’t yanked away the keys, they would have been on their way back. But sitting down, calmly to think, think Aaron is right, Elena went to Los Angeles, if he does not go to get Elena back, then the next time they meet again as a couple, he wouldn’t know when it will be, and if there will be love rivals.
He couldn’t help but ask in his mind, if Kevin knew that Elena had gone to America, would he be the first to fly there?
Thinking of all Kevin’s excesses, the answer was bound to be yes. He took a deep breath and said to Aaron, “I’ll go to Los Angeles and leave the company to you.” Fred said with a bit of fire in his voice and kicked the car door open.
“Fred, women are a little naughty, you need to coax them more.” Aaron said.
“This is no longer a matter of making a little nature, she is leaving home! It’s running away from home.” Fred yelled with fire in his voice, “What the hell did I do? She didn’t even give an explanation, she just left. Does she think I’m her husband or not?”
Fred was so angry that he roared, Aaron listened to him quietly before patting him on the shoulder and said, “Fred, it’s more than ten hours to Los Angeles, on the way, you can think about it, I think you can’t blame Elena for what happened this time. I don’t believe you can’t see that Bess is interested in you, isn’t that the reason you transferred her away in the first place?”
Aaron didn’t say much, he believed Fred must be clear in his heart, originally could be very happy, but he transferred Bess back, no matter what his reason, this is the trigger for Elena to leave.
Fred got on a flight to Los Angeles, at this time, more than ten hours before Elena left, Elena should have arrived in Los Angeles, I wonder if she changed planes to Florence?
The ten hours of flight, Fred is very conflicted, he knows the reason why, but Bess is the daughter of an enemy, he can not go without revenge, and starting from Bess, is the best and most effective way.
It is difficult to let Elena go to the United States to find the old woman? In a flash of lightning, Fred’s mind flashed to the phrase that Elena might not be going back to Italy, but to find her real mother.
Fred was happy about this possibility, if so, it would mean something completely different. He remembered that a few days ago, he promised Elena that he would accompany her to America to look for her real mother.
The ten-hour flight was a rush for Fred,
When the plane finally landed, Fred couldn’t wait to open his cell phone and call Elena immediately, and just as he thought, Elena’s phone was already on. So the phone was not turned off to avoid him, but was on the plane.
Elena arrived in Los Angeles and checked into a hotel, waiting for Kevin’s arrival. After a good night’s sleep, she was about to go out for dinner when her phone rings..
Looking at the phone number on it, she hesitated for a moment. It was Fred’s phone, she had called several times yesterday and he didn’t answer, what was he doing calling now?
Thinking of Bess’s condescending tone yesterday, Elena really didn’t want to answer the phone, but her reason couldn’t beat her emotion, so she pressed the answer button.Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.
“Honey, where are you? I’m sorry, I said I’d come with you to find Mom.” Without outsiders, Fred found that the words of apology weren’t so hard to say.
Elena held her tongue, but it was so hard to hold back. After Fred said sorry over and over again, Elena finally spoke, “I’m in Los Angeles, and I’m going to go find Mom.”
“Honey, I said I would be there with you, tell me, where are you now?” Hearing Elena’s voice, Fred’s heart finally fell silent.
Elena’s heart throbbed, she wanted to ask why Bess answered the phone yesterday, but she couldn’t say these jealous words, and she thought Fred should take the initiative to explain, so she endured the pain and said, “No, you get busy, I plan to go back to Italy after I find mom, I’ve sent my resignation letter to the company.”
“Honey, you’re just going to resign like that? Not even a word?” Fred held back his anger and said, “Even if you are sentenced to death, at least give a reason, right? If I have done something wrong, please also tell me, I will definitely correct it.”
“You’re not wrong, it’s me who’s not used to living with two people, I’m sorry, maybe we ……”
Fred ordered overbearingly into the phone, “You are not allowed to say anything about divorce or mistakes, tell me where you are now, I’m already in Los Angeles, for whatever reason, we’ll talk about it when we meet.”
Elena was silent and Fred had a hunch she was going to hang up, so he immediately blurted out, “Elena, if you hang up, I will chase you wherever you go.”
Elena raised her hand and retracted it. She was not afraid of Fred looking for it, but she was afraid of him grabbing the child.
When Elena didn’t answer, Fred yelled, “Elena, even if you really want a divorce, you have to meet and talk about it, otherwise don’t expect me to sign.”
“Okay, I’m in room 1526 at the Four Seasons.”
Fred was relieved and immediately had his driver head to the Four Seasons Hotel.
Knowing that Fred was coming over, Elena sat there in her room and didn’t dare to go. In fact, she was a little worried, she didn’t expect Fred to come so fast, even faster than Kevin.
She was worried that the two would run into each other again when the time came. A few hours ago, Kevin had called and said he was connecting in Tokyo, and now she just hoped it wouldn’t be such a coincidence that they would run into each other.
Elena took a deep breath and wanted to call back to Italy, but it seemed wrong to ask James about such emotional matters, so it seemed that she would have to wait until Fred arrived.
She admitted she was jealous, she never knew she was so jealous, even when the wedding was held and the groom ran off with another woman, and even when she watched them roll around with another woman, she could not change her face, but now, just because the secretary answered Fred’s phone, she wanted to have a heart attack and could not breathe.
Elena’s heart was in turmoil, but then Fred came and was knocking on the door, “Honey, it’s me, open the door.”
Breathing, breathing again, Elena patted her cheeks and opened the door again.
“Come on in.”
“Is that all? Elena, you left home, shouldn’t you give me, as a husband, an explanation?” Elena locked the door behind her and turned to Fred with a fake fierceness.
“I did call you, and I called you many times, but you didn’t answer at first, but then it was the secretary who answered, and I thought you didn’t want to see me, so I had the sense to leave ……” Elena bowed her head, aggrieved.
“That’s all? Just because I didn’t answer your phone, you left home? Elena, do you consider me your husband or not?” Fred finished yelling and took Elena into his arms, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.
