Chapter 26: Let me out
“Elena, take it easy, let’s talk slowly, okay?” Kevin closed the door to the study, he didn’t guarantee this would keep Elena, he had to prevent her from running out to that Fred Garner.
Elena looked at her brother and watched as he expertly opened the bookcase and opened the drawers of her dad’s desk.
“Elena, see your mom right here?” Kevin found a picture of multiple people together and waved Elena over.
“Brother, when did you know I wasn’t Mom and Dad’s kid?” Elena looked at Kevin’s finger and saw that the photo was small because it was a group photo, but it was clear that the woman in the photo, who looked about the same age as Elena, had a few similar outlines.
“Elena these do not matter, if you want to find your Mom, I will help you find her, but you must divorce him, you can not ruin your life on impulse.” Kevin said seriously.
He had seen the marriage certificate, it was real, he didn’t want to think about it, whether Elena had a substantial relationship with that bastard as husband and wife, he only knew that he had to protect Elena, from now on, he wouldn’t let Elena get hurt in any way.
“Brother, Fred Garner is at least better than those three men, I trust him, he won’t lie to me.” Elena shook her head, although it was true that she was impulsive when she got married, now she was serious, and she believed Fred Garner was too.
“Believe, what makes you believe him? You don’t know anything and you trust a man like that? You’re not three years old anymore, five, you’re twenty-two, Elena, don’t be so naive, okay?” Kevin saw that Elena trusted a stranger so easily, and said angrily.
“Brother, as you said, I am twenty-two years old, I know what I am doing? Besides, it’s my marriage, I decide for myself.” Elena blushed and glared back at Kevin.
“Decide what? Elena, even if Mom hasn’t treated you very well all these years, you can’t just trash yourself like this. When you see Auntie, what are you going to say if she asks?” Kevin yelled, slapping the photo.
“She gave birth to me and then abandoned me, much less had the right to say anything about me, not to mention, I’m already weaned and long past the age of needing a mother.” Elena allowed herself to chill and harden, no matter what, she must not compromise now.
Mom could take her time to find her, but at this point she had to leave, she was going to Fred Garner, and with her sudden disappearance, Fred would be worried.
“So what do you want?” Kevin looked at Elena and realized that he had left the country for a few years and this seemingly soft sister had changed.
“Brother, I know you’re back for my wedding, I can’t let you make this trip for nothing, I need to see Fred first, and if you both don’t object, we’ll have the wedding.” Elena looked at her brother and backed up a little towards the door.
“No, there’s no need for that, Elena, I didn’t come back to attend your wedding, I came back to stop your wedding and take you away.”
Kevin saw Elena’s backward movement, but he didn’t move.
“Thank you brother, I knew you were the best brother in the world, if I wasn’t married today, I would be happy to leave with my brother, but now that I’m married, it’s different, even if I have to leave home, I’m going to Fred’s.” Elena tried to impress her brother with a smile, if he could have come back a day earlier, she would have been happy to leave the country with him, but not now.
“Even if I come back a day late, it won’t matter, none of us will recognize your marriage, I’ll pretend it’s just a family game you’re playing, this marriage, I’ll finish it for you.”
Kevin knew Elena wouldn’t compromise so easily and simply said.
“Not at all, even if you don’t recognize it, it doesn’t matter, as long as the law recognizes it, it’s enough for us to recognize it ourselves, brother, thank you so much for everything you’ve done for me, but I’m still going to find Fred,” Elena said turning around and running quickly to the door, but she couldn’t unscrew it.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Elena, want the key?” Kevin, sitting at his desk, tossed the key in his hand into the air and looked at Elena with a smile.
“Brother, how can you be so mean.” Elena’s hand froze and looked back to see the key thrown into the air by Kevin and hated it.
“Elena, you need to calm down, for the sake of a strange man, your always beloved brother, at this time, has become a despicable brother, do you know how much this hurts my heart, but I know you are too much stimulated, so I do not blame you.” Kevin stood up, he decided to use the fastest time to deal with Elena and Fred Garner marital relationship, after which he would take Elena away whether she wanted to or not.
As long as he left the place and changed the environment, I believe Elena would be able to adapt soon.
“Brother, you let go of me, I want to go out, you can not lock me in here ……” see brother open station, Elena wanted to rush out, but Kevin used one hand to drag Elena away, and force a push, Elena fell to the ground at the moment, he quickly got up and He left and locked the door outside.
Elena is once again locked in the house, but in the den instead of the bedroom.
In the living room, Gary Costa and Rebecca had released the knot in their hearts, and Rebecca’s face was glowing with a girlish glow.
“Kevin, you lock Elena like this is not the way, how to say, she is your sister, or we find the boy bring him back to talk about it.” Rebecca, who was leaning in her husband’s arms, softly advised her son.
“Mom, that guy is very stubborn, this matter, you do not care, I will handle it.” Kevin said in an annoyed mood.
He regretted not bringing back the marriage certificate, but he was ashamed to go to Fred Garner like this.
“Kevin, have you seen that man?” Rebecca asked again.
“I saw a man at the door the day Elena came back, but with a beard, I couldn’t see his face at all, son, was that man?” Gary Costa asked his son with a wrinkled brow, and if it was the man, he disagreed.
“Hmm.” Kevin was stunned and responded vaguely.
He wasn’t about to tell Mom and Dad what Fred Garner looked like when he shaved off his beard, lest they come around to Elena’s side.
“But aren’t they already married? What are you going to do about it?” Gary Costa looked at his son suspiciously, even if they divorce, only if one of the parties concerned proposes it, looking at Elena’s appearance, I’m afraid it’s impossible for him to propose a divorce.
“Dad, are you admitting their marriage? Elena just wants to be angry with mom, after two days, when she calms down, she will regret it, instead of letting her face this embarrassment, let’s help her deal with it.” Kevin said and then picked up a glass of water in front of him and poured it in.
“Good, then let’s delegate Elena for a few days, you take care of things as soon as possible, I’ll try to contact Elena’s mom in the next few days and see if I can find her.” Gary Costa nodded, feeling unspeakably guilty about Elena, when Carole had left the child with her, and now she was in this mess.
“I know, then I’ll go out and talk to Fred Garner, Dad, Mom, keep an eye on Elena,” Kevin nodded, before the night got too long and he had to negotiate with the man as soon as possible.
Kevin let out a long breath as he left the house, asking him to bow down to that man, that was impossible, could the marriage certificate be a fake?
Kevin Stopped the car at the side of the road, lit a cigarette, he needs to think about it, one after another, half a pack of cigarettes finished, still no clue, irritable he drove to the Dragon Spring Hotel.
Looking at the people in the hotel, Kevin decided to find a middleman to negotiate with Fred Garner, he called his friends in China, but who will this be everyone is still at work, there is nothing but to wait for his friends to get off work.
Looking at the time, it was only an hour or so before his friend got off work, so he asked for his work location and went to a restaurant nearby.
About six o’clock, the friend finally appeared, the two greeted, Kevin then directly cut to the chase. Elena’s matter, the faster to solve the better, otherwise even if Elena will be taken abroad, he is not at ease, Elena must divorce with Fred Garner.
“Jay, there is something to trouble you, you know I have a sister, just graduated from college, in the relationship she has been many times frustrated, and recently had a little problem, you know, some things, I as a brother is not convenient to step in, especially the relationship.” Kevin toasted his friend and then said.
“Kevin, you’re not going to follow the example of people who stick their necks out, are you? Nowadays, if they really have feelings, I think it’s better not to stop them.” My friend laughed at this and said.
“If they really have feelings, really love each other, we do want the family members happy, and can not wait, but being afraid is not feelings, you know, a woman’s life, if married wrong, it will be ruined.” Kevin said awkwardly laughing.
“That’s right, then you talk about your sister, but I may not be able to help oh.” The friend also said the words in front, if it is other things okay to say, the feelings of the matter, any of your great ability, as long as the person will be firm, external forces are very difficult to stop.
“The thing is this, my mother is more traditional, think that girls study well, or to marry a good man, so in the little sister is still almost graduated, they keep arranging blind dates, and all are good family …… “Kevin explained Elena’s three weddings briefly, listening to the friend he is a stunned, and said.
“Your sister how so unlucky, how did all the ones she meet be not the best, she will not because of this, she can not think about it?”
“Is not it, just a week ago, the day of the third wedding, she was angry, ran to the street pulled a man to get married, the man’s appearance first, you say normal people, who will be in the promise.” Kevin immediately sighed.
“That’s right, normal people if they encounter this thing, ironically pull out their legs and run, and then ……” Jay said looking up at Kevin, and then his mouth opened wide.
“That’s what you think, there really is such ‘abnormal people’, he not only agreed to his sister’s proposal, the two even registered in the Civil Affairs Bureau to work the first time.” Kevin looked at his friend’s expression nodded his head and sighed.
“There is really such a man under the sky? Could it be that he knows your sister? Knowing that your family is good, you want to struggle less for decades?” Jay couldn’t help but smash his tongue upon hearing this.
“No…”
