The Innocent Wife of Scheming President -
Chapter 21: I Divorced (2)
After drinking too much wine, Chloe's eyes became blurred and sheleaned back on Olive’s shoulder. By this time, they have moved fromthe bar to the sofa booth, which was full of bottles and cans.
“Olive, I'm homeless. You must take me in, or I'll have to sleep on a parkbench."
Olive was surprised to hear this from her, but it's not out of herexpectation. Olive just hugged her lovingly, “you're so stupid.”Although their love was gone, but through a few years of youth, it wasok to ask for the break-up fee.
“He left me a house, a car, and million dollars, but I didn't take any ofthem. What do I need that money for without him? His parents andrelatives always think I am going for his family’s money. I will showthem that the poor also have the aspirations of the poor.”
“Aspiration can't change for food.” Olive mumbled, but she couldn'tspeak out loud. She said another words, “you fool.”
Chloe chuckled, “aren't you stupider than me? You born a child for aman, but you didn’t let him know. You also kept your mouth shut to us.I haven't seen you accept another man in these years. Are you stillmissing him in your heart?”
When Ivy heard this, his lazy body suddenly leaned forward slightly andhis eyes fell on Olive's face.
A mixture of emotions spreading over Olive's face, it was hard to seethrough.
Olive was silent for a moment. She picked up her glass and said, “let usdrink.”
When you were drunk, you didn't have to think about anything.
But she was not so easy to get drunk. With the good capacity foralcohol was not a good thing sometimes. The more drink, the moresober, how could she tell them? Annie's father showed up, but he didn'tknow her, and didn't know that he had a daughter. She even didn'tknow whether he remembered her or not.
She once asked him, “if one day I am missing, will you look for me?”He said, "yes."
“What if you never replace me?”
“You belong to me all the way, and you can't escape from me anyway.”But he didn't replace me for these five years. When we met again, we werestrangers. Olive thought these in her mind.
Chloe got drunk, and Ivy drove them home. Chloe was much quieterwhen she got drunk, and she curled up in Olive’s arms, like a woundedcat.
Ivy took a look at her in the rearview mirror, “it is hard for her.”
“It's only a matter of time before she gets through.” Olive looked at thewoman in her arms with pity. Chloe, whom she knew, was too strong tocollapse
Under residential buildings, Ivy helped her get Chloe out of the car, andput Chloe on his back. He walked toward the elevator with practicedefficiency.
Olive pressed the floor button.
At the beginning, her father didn't sell their old house even theycouldn't pay the urgent medical expenses of her father due to the caraccident. However, when Annie had a sudden illness and they had nomoney for medical treatment four months ago, her parents didnt tellher and sold their old house without hesitation.
Her father said to her, “as long as there is life, there is hope.”
At that moment, she swore that she would work hard and buy a bighouse to make her parents have a good life, after Annie regains herhealth
This dream finally came true last year. Although the house was not big,and the decoration was very simple with not much furniture, it was verywarm. There was an elevator that was convenient for his father.
Olive got Chloe settled and poured Ivy a cup of hot tea.
Ivy asked, “aren't aunt, uncle and Annie at home?”
“My mom's sick. She's at the hospital. My dad's with her. Thus, Anniealso stays at the hospital tonight. She has a separate bed at thehospital. I'll pick them up in the morning.”
“Why didn’t you tell us? How was she?”
“It's all right. She'll be out of the hospital in two days.” Actually, herheart was still fluttering with fear when she thought of it. God blessed.After tea, Ivy stood up to say goodbye and Olive planned to see himoff.
“It's cold outside, and I'm not the first time to come here. You shouldhave a rest early.” Ivy stopped her.
Olive said with a smile on her face, “I'll drop in and do some shopping.”lvy agreed.
They went downstairs together, and the street lamps elongated theirshadows on the neighborhood's bleak streets
“Olive, do you remember how we meet for the first time?” Ivy askedsuddenly.
Olive laughed, “of course, I remember. You drunkard.”
At that time, Ivy had not yet run the waittingbar.
She had just returned to Luo city, and she didn't know that she waspregnant. She happened to meet a homeless man who had slept on apark bench all night. The newspaper covered his upper body, revealinghis dirty jeans.
But as for a hobo, he shouldn't have had the money to buy a bunch ofbeer and put them under the park bench. There were twenty or thirtybeers in total, both drunk and undrunk.
Drinking beer like drinking water, a real alcoholic.
