mr frank is faithful to love

(FR. Hilde Frank)

Charlotte seems to have become very idle recently. She called and said that a friend brought seafood from Qingdao and wanted to give me some.

This meeting was very hasty. It was the Saturday morning when I was resting at home. On a cloudy day, Charlotte saw a bottle of wine in my cabinet, so I helped her open the wine and find a suitable glass.

Nozawa came out of the study and went to the dining table to get coffee, he looked up at Charlotte, and Charlotte gave him a very shallow smile.

"Hello." The two words that came out of Nozawa's mouth were emotionless, and he kept fiddling with the coffee machine.

And Charlotte seemed to ignore the existence of Nozawa, she said: "Thank you for helping me get the tickets, I am very happy, I also talked to Ethan, and he sent me a signed T-shirt with his little head portrait on it."

Charlotte took a sip of her wine and suddenly remembered something. She unbuttoned her sweater and said a little excitedly: "Look, I almost forgot, I also wore a T-shirt with his cartoon image today, but it didn't have a signature the one."

I continued to pour wine for her, intending to order some food, and said, "You don't need to thank me for the ticket, it's just a matter of saying something."

"You can steam that prawn at night. It's best to eat it today, and it won't be fresh tomorrow." Charlotte was referring to the seafood she brought today.

I nodded and said yes, and asked her what kind of takeaway she would like to eat, and she said, "Don't you cook it yourself?"

"It's too late. If you said earlier, I would have prepared the dishes in advance."

Charlotte suddenly raised her slender fingers, pointed gracefully at Nozawa's back, and said, "Let him go, young man, it doesn't matter if you run a lot."

I was stunned for an instant, and turned around to look at Nozawa. Nozawa still had hair that was not short or long, and his eyes were crossed. He was also looking at me.

I said, "Forget it Charlotte, I'll go buy after lunch and we'll cook for ourselves in the evening—"

"It's okay. I'll go buy it. It's not far away." Nozawa interrupted me in a calm tone. He put down his cup and went to get his phone, and went to the door to change his clothes and shoes.

When Nozawa left, before Charlotte finished her sip of wine, she stroked her hair and said, "I'll just say it casually, who would have thought that...they would really go."

I said, "Don't keep making jokes."

"You two live together and get what you need, don't think I can't see it."

"That's not true. I'm quite happy now." I said.

Charlotte raised her glass and took another sip. While tasting the wine, she looked at me with eyes sharper than knives. Within a second, Charlotte splashed half of the glass of wine in my face.

"I think you need to sober up," she said in British English.

He also cursed a few bad words and said, "Please be happy, you are simply the happiest person in the world."

She stood up, so I stood up too, tearing a tissue to wipe my face myself, and for a moment, Charlotte lectured me sharper than my mother, and she stood there with a drink and said, "I'm really angry, yes Because I look at this matter from Ethan's point of view, sometimes, I even start to wonder why I loved you. It may be my prejudice, yes, it is indeed my prejudice."

Nozawa bought a lot of vegetables and came back, but Charlotte had already left downstairs. I cleaned up the mess at the dining table and said, "She's gone, she won't cook anymore, let's go out for lunch."

"Okay, I'm just in the mood for something light and warm."

I went back to the study to read. Nozawa lay on my back and said, "Can you go back to Japan with me? My parents are getting old, and I don't want them to worry."

I asked, "Have you told your family?"

"I dare not say it. They are still very traditional people. I am afraid that they will not be accepted, but don't worry, I will find a chance to talk about it. If we can go back once, I will have a chance."

I said: "It's still a bit hasty, after all, we haven't had a long time."

Nozawa took a deep breath.

Say, "How long do you want? One year? Two years?"

I really didn't expect that I would run into Ethan in front of Hema's beverage shelf a few days later.

I was still wearing a mask, and he was also wearing a mask. I held the cart in my hand, and Ethan was standing on the other side of the cart. I really couldn't figure it out. I thought Beijing was quite big.

Ethan went shopping with his assistant, and I came to buy drinks for the office by myself. I put a bottle of banana juice in the cart, thought about it, and took another bottle.

"Let's have a drink after shopping, the coffee shop at the door." This is the only sentence Ethan said to me in front of the shelf.

It was still overcast and the temperature was cooling down again. I put all my shopping in the car and went to find Ethan at a nearby coffee shop. When I entered the door, I saw him sitting in the corner, wearing a bucket hat, and his The assistant was far away from him, holding a cup of hot drink, following me with vigilant eyes.

As soon as he sat down, Ethan said, "I ordered for you, and I'm afraid it will delay your time."

"Thank you, I'm not busy today." I said.

"Nozawa won't come with you?"

"Oh...he's still at work and has no time to come."

"What I don't have, he has all of them. Think about it, people live in changes. I am different now, and you are also different." Ethan paused for a while, touched the tip of his nose, and said, "But we It all got better."

I said, "No, I didn't get better. Charlotte came to my house that day and yelled at me."

I cleared my throat and continued, "It's all for you."

Unexpectedly, the relationship between Ethan and I would become so estranged, like a person who has suffered an incurable injury, leaving traces that will follow for a lifetime.

As of now, there is absolutely no way to turn back.

"Do you know Li Zishuo?" Ethan asked.

I thought about it, and then I remembered who he mentioned, and I said, "I know, but I'm not very familiar with it."

"He likes me." Today's Ethan finally smiled. He slightly curled the corners of his mouth, showing a deja vu, somewhat naughty smile, as if demonstrating to me, or showing off.

I secretly took a deep breath, nodded, thought for a while, and chose to respond in silence.

Satisfied, Ethan took a sip of his coffee and said with a hidden smile, "He's much better than you."

I stared at him without saying a word, and touched the warm cup in my hand.

"Shouldn't you be happy for me? Why the look..." Ethan said.

At the moment, I probably look far less happy than Ethan.

When we were drinking, we didn't speak for a long time. We lowered our heads or looked at the head, and held the cup silently. After a while, Ethan's assistant came over, and she said, "Bo Yao, Yi Yi, call me Alright, we have to go to the airport an hour earlier, I'm afraid we won't be able to stay too long."

This rare meeting ended in such a hasty way. When I drove back to the company, I saw Nozawa standing downstairs looking at his mobile phone. Take half a day off."

My breathing seemed to be blocked somewhere in my body, I raised my arms around his waist, and didn't speak.

Today’s Pralinen is newly bought. I don’t usually eat much. Later, because Ethan likes chocolate, he often sells it. The boss is going back to Germany to visit relatives. He made the last batch before the Spring Festival. He called me early in the morning. After hesitating again and again, I went to the store to pick it up, and then stopped by Hema to buy drinks.

Then I met Ethan.

Before parting, Ethan's assistant picked up the gift box on the side of the road in embarrassment. She waved her hand and said "I can't have it" and said "I'm sorry".

"Then... well," she said, looking sideways at the closed car door, "I thought it was tea, thank you, thank you."

The assistant's expression was not very good, and I didn't say anything more.

What I think is that on the day I bought Pralinen, I met someone who loves to eat Pralinen, and this day seems to have become very complete.
