"Are you really going to spend Christmas alone?" Isabella looked at Caroline and asked, she only found out this morning that Caroline's sister and her family were not in Chicago for the past two days.Otherwise, I would have made an agreement with my uncle and Francis in advance to invite Caroline to our house as guests.

"Thank you for your concern, Isha. But I finally had a long vacation, and I'm planning to rest at home." Caroline stretched after a good night's sleep, and leaned against the door frame wiping her wet long hair.

When Caroline was sure that Isabella would go back to her parents' former residence and spend Christmas with her family, and that she would be the only one left in the apartment, she was actually a little excited.

This means that in the next few days, she can relax at home by herself.

Whether she is working in a mall, working as an assistant for Ms. Green, or in front of friends and sisters, she needs to always pay attention to maintaining some habits that belong to this era.Even when she gets home, because this is Isabella's apartment after all, she can only experience the feeling of relaxation when she is in the bedroom.

Probably because she was too tired from work recently, Caroline felt that she wanted a complete relaxation more than ever.So after watching Isabella leave the apartment in a carriage, she arranged all the Meisi information books, books, newspapers and magazines on the bookshelf, and put all the work aside, then came to the living room, and put the two The stoves were lit, and the happy life of staying at home began.

Because she knows her own cooking skills, the food Caroline bought yesterday was either various snacks, or semi-finished products such as roast chicken, bacon, and pies.

She turned on the gas stove and heated up pies and chicken, and arranged plates of cookies and cream cakes on the table.

Caroline felt very satisfied when she unpacked the product packaging box that she didn't open immediately after she bought it, put on her newly bought long skirt, and sat at the dining table looking at the food on the plate.

But for another moment, she felt a little lonely.

At that moment, she thought of many images in her mind, including the warm moments with Minnie, Han Sheng and little Tony last Christmas, the scene of going out to dinner and theater with Vivienne, Joanna, Annie, and the others. There are pictures of Isabella teaching her how to draw with her thin voice, Ms. Green's affirmative and encouraging smile, Francis' warm brown eyes bent into crescents, and even memories of being with her parents in her previous life.

Caroline wanted to play a movie or some music to make the room, which was finally hers for the time being, less quiet.Perhaps with a little sound, the room would not seem so empty.

She began to appreciate the unconcealable joy on Vivienne's face when she opened the door to see her when she was alone at home last year; she began to understand why Isabella obviously lived the life she chose, living in It belongs to my own apartment, but I still found myself this "negotiable roommate".

At that moment, it seemed that the achievements in work and writing became insignificant, and the deposits I saved, the land and clothing I bought began to be insignificant.

If someone was beside Caroline at this time, hugging her tenderly, Caroline felt that she would definitely hug her back.

But she was alone in the room at this time, and no one said "Merry Christmas" to her.

She stood up from the table involuntarily, walked to the window, and looked at the bare tree trunks and street lamps casting cold light outside.

The street outside is also empty, no one will stay alone on the street on Christmas Eve.

She just stood there quietly, and after about 5 minutes, maybe a quarter of an hour or more, Caroline's expression gradually softened, she laughed softly, and sang to herself Christmas carols.

"Wewish youamerryChristmas,

……

IwishyouamerryChristmasandahappynewyear... 1"

In fact, no matter in the previous life or in this life, there are many things that need to be borne by oneself.And how many people in the world are not like this?People's feelings will always change due to changes in the environment and atmosphere. At least every step I take now is my own choice, and the path I choose makes my life better and better, doesn't it?thought Caroline.

"I've done well," she said aloud to herself, and sat back at the table to enjoy her dinner.

Caroline's entertainment was really limited, so she continued to sing after dinner.The songs she knows are available in both Chinese and English. Now that she sings, she doesn't have to worry about being surprised by the Chinese lyrics being heard, and she doesn't have to worry about people asking about the source of these unfamiliar songs. It doesn't matter whether they are in the key or not.

When she got tired of singing, she went back to her room and lay down on the bed to write a diary.Write about her mood during this time, and write about the life she wants in the future.And whenever she writes something about "past life", just in case, she will add a dream hypothesis first.

The alarm clock had been turned off yesterday, and Caroline rolled up the quilt to sleep when she was sleepy.

Happiness is not that simple sometimes.

In a three-story brick and stone house near Lincoln Park, siblings Isabella and Frances and their uncle Andrew are gathered around a round table to play cards.

The only maid went home after preparing Christmas dinner for them.So there are only three of them in the house at the moment.

"Franz, if you can use your card counting ability to settle accounts, I will never have to worry about our factory's accounts in the future." Andrew grabbed the cards in his hand and put them on the table, watching his nephew hate Shaking his head ironically.

"Come on, Uncle Andrew, you clearly know that the two are not the same thing at all." Francis put the cards in his mouth and grabbed an apple with his free hand.

"I don't see how much you care about it in business and social life?" Andrew shook his head.

"Oh, then maybe I don't like socializing too much." Francis mumbled while chewing on an apple.After getting a blank stare from his uncle, he quickly answered, "Okay Andrew, we agreed not to discuss business matters at Christmas, and we will talk about it when we return to the company in two days."

"I have something to discuss with you." Isabella looked at the bickering family and said with a smile, "I want to invite my roommate Caroline to come here tomorrow, what do you think?"

"Won't she be with her family recently?" Andrew asked.

"Her sister's family went back to their hometown to visit relatives. She should be alone these few days."

"God, Isa, why didn't you say earlier that we should invite her to spend Christmas together. I said earlier that only the three of us are a bit boring. Why don't we go to your place early tomorrow morning." Francis heard it He opened his mouth immediately, his eyes flashed with eagerness, he even prepared a small gift for Caroline in advance, and he was worried that he would not find a chance to give it out.

Isabella looked at her younger brother who was more active than herself, and smiled helplessly.Andrew also seemed to have noticed something from Francis' attitude, but he didn't show it, but agreed with Isabella's proposal.
