Finally I Got You

Friday night, Fred Garner must spend the night here at Elena’s house, Elena can not do anything about him, but she can still control herself, and did not sleep with Fred.

Early Monday morning, Elena couldn’t stand it and decided to go back to her parents’ house. Fred Garner seemed to have expected this and called Aaron in early in the morning.

Aaron arrived at Elena’s place and was shocked to see Fred Garner in his pajamas: “Fred, you guys are already together?”

“Well, Aaron, there’s something I need to ask you to do for me.” Fred Garner said as he took the packet of milk and threw it to Aaron.

“What is it, just say the word.” Aaron was still in shock and his eyes looked around to see where the hostess was.

“Elena has to go back to her mother’s house, she is a little injured, and a little far, I do not feel at ease, you help me send her back.”

“Back to her mother’s house, Fred, when will you ……”

“I’m already well, Aaron, can we go?” As she was saying, Elena came out pulling her suitcase, directly interrupting Aaron’s words.

“Honey, haven’t you had breakfast yet? Let’s eat some together before we go.” Fred Garner still had some things to explain to Aaron, and of course, his wife’s breakfast was also important.

“No, I’ll just get some for the car. Aaron, let’s go.” Elena is afraid of Fred Garner nagging, directly dragged the suitcase, dragged down Aaron one first out of the door.

“Wait, wife, we can take the luggage.”

Hearing Fred Garner’s voice, Elena really put the luggage at the door, “I’ll go down first, don’t make me wait too long.”

“Fred, what’s wrong with you, your phone doesn’t turn on for the past two days, and when it does, you let me go on business trip?” Aaron looked at Fred Garner in disbelief, knowing him for so many years as a friend, it was the first time I had seen him so serious about a woman.

“Aaron, Elena is my wife, legal wife, so she is your sister-in-law, help me take care of her, never let her family bully to her, especially her brother.” Fearing that Elena was waiting and below, Fred Garner was too late to elaborate, but only to explain Elena’s identity to Aaron in an understandable manner.

“When did you get married, how do I ……” Aaron still wanted to ask, was Fred Garner pushed out the door.

“I’ll answer you one by one when you get back, but for now, get out and take care of Elena for me,” Fred Garner explained again before closing the door.

Aaron went downstairs with a belly full of questions, thinking, if Fred doesn’t say anything, he can ask Elena in the car later.

“Elena, do you mind if I call you that.” Aaron hummed a tune and got into the car.

“Okay, I’m going to trouble Mr. Aaron this time.” Elena nodded her head and said politely.

“This is not a company, and don’t call me Mr. Aaron, you are younger than me, but sister-in-law is sister-in-law, you can just call me Aaron.” Aaron looked at Elena with a sideways smile and started the engine.

“I’ll call you Aaron, then.” Elena froze, and since Fred Garner had said it, she had nothing to hide.

On the way to Elena’s house, Aaron asked several times, but Elena refused to say.

“Elena, a little disclosure, when did you and the boss meet?” Aaron was undeterred and continued.

“It’s high speed, don’t get distracted, I’ll just answer this one question, we met five years ago.” Elena said when really no longer answer any questions.

Three hours later, Elena finally arrived home, looking at the familiar home, Elena heart indescribably hard, before knowing their own life, Elena never thought that one day will be so long away from home. At that time just know her own life, plus Fred Garner’s disappearance, she had some acceptance, after five years of ‘healing’, she felt that she can face, only then dare to face, this five years, she really is very unfilial, even the phone is rarely played.

“Elena, this is your house?” Aaron a little can not believe his eyes, always thought Elena is just an ordinary girl, did not expect her to be a rich lady.

“Five years ago, I always thought it was my house ……” Once the words were out, Elena knew she had lost her temper and was busy turning her mouth, “I’ll go knock on the door.” As she spoke, she had gotten out of the car.

Elena knocked on the door and someone came out of the house, but before she reached the door, she shouted in surprise, “Miss, it’s Miss …… Miss is back, Miss is back-”

“Yes, it’s …… well at least you also open the door for me first.” Elena murmured, the words did not finish, the workers turned back to the house.

“Elena, what’s wrong?” Seeing Elena turn around, Aaron rolled down the window and asked in disbelief.

“Nothing, probably too surprised.” Elena spread her hands and laughed awkwardly, she didn’t expect that just not coming back for five years would scare Lily like this.

“So did you call before you came back?”

Elena was silent, she hadn’t called because she didn’t know what to say, and because she was afraid her mother would cry on the phone.

“Elena, is that Elena?” Elena had just taken out the phone when her mother’s voice came from behind her, and she immediately turned inside and said, “Mom, it’s me, I’m back.”

For some reason, as she said it, her voice got a little choked up.

“Lily, come on, open the door.” Inside, Rebecca urged the workers to hurry up and open the door, unconsciously, Elena’s eyes were actually a little blurry.

“Mom, I’m home. Are you and Dad feeling well?” The door opened as we spoke, and mother and daughter hugged each other, trying to hold back, but mom was crying, and Elena followed suit.

This is the first time Aaron has seen a mother and daughter meet and cry, even if they haven’t seen each other for five years, it’s not so exaggerated, and as they cried, they went into the house together, Elena seemed to forget about him, and it was good that Lily saw the car and came over to ask him.

There is still a while before lunch, Elena only focus on talking with her mother, completely forget Aaron, good thing there are workers at home, otherwise Aaron really do not know what to do.

“Ma’am, do you want to eat at home at noon, or do you want to eat outside?” At 10:30, Lily came over and asked Rebecca.

“Eat outside, or eat at home Lily, wait, you call the gentleman and ask him to book a room, we’ll go straight there later.” Rebecca kept holding Elena’s hand and never let go.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Mom, I’m sorry.” Elena bowed her head with an indescribable guilt in her heart, although her mother was not her biological mother, the kindness of raising her was as important as the kindness of conceiving her in October.

“Silly child, it’s good to come back, it’s good to come back, it’s mommy’s fault, mommy treated you wrongly before.”

Mother and daughter were talking when the voice calling for mom came from outside, “Mom, mom, where is Elena, where is Elena ……”

The first time I heard this voice, Elena’s heart tightened, five years ago, she did not even say goodbye, she left from the United States, now that I think about it, some too much, no matter what the brother has done, is the brother ah.

“Brother,” Elena got up, and just as the word “brother” came out, Kevin ran in and took her into his arms.

“Elena, you’re finally back.” Kevin’s voice was hoarse, and Aaron on the other side was surprised.

This family was really quite strange. When mom saw women crying, she said they were emotional, but how could this brother be so exaggerated as well.

“Brother, I’m a little out of breath.” Elena was embarrassed, in the past, such a hug to didn’t feel anything, because she always thought Kevin was the real brother, they were one father and one mother, but now it was different. I should say it’s been different since five years ago.

Her brother was still her brother, but what happened five years ago in America was like a nightmare that would often wake her up.

“Elena, are you still blaming your brother?” Kevin let go slightly, those deep eyes focused on Elena, five years, it’s not that he didn’t go looking for it, but he couldn’t find it all along. He thought he could find Elena until she made her debut in the fashion industry, but he spent a lot of money and still couldn’t find out where Elena lived. The result that he got was that someone had been protecting Elena and couldn’t find out anything. Luckily, fortunately Elena finally came back.

“No, you will always be the best brother who loves Elena the most.” Elena’s body stiffened a bit, trying to break away but not being too obvious, especially with her mom and Aaron right here.

“Kevin, where’s your dad, why isn’t he back?” Rebecca asked as she got up.

“Dad has booked a private room and told me to come back and get you guys.” Kevin reluctantly let go of Elena.

For more than twenty years, his heart for Elena had never changed. Today Elena came back, did it mean she had let go of her feelings? He wanted to ask, but this would be really convenient.

“Cough, cough ……, Elena didn’t eat breakfast this morning.” Before only two women chat, but this will add into a man, said to come back to pick up people for dinner, but they seem to talk to get full, surprisingly did not mention the matter of dinner, did not eat breakfast Aaron, this will be really hungry.

If not in The Costa family, he would have gone alone to find food, but this time he was a guest, and not good enough to go alone to eat alone, so he had to say so.

“Yeah, yeah, let’s go eat, and we’ll talk about it later.” Rebecca listened and followed.

Although he had a ‘full-time driver’, Aaron really didn’t want to disturb their family reunion, so he decided to drive himself to the hotel and was about to leave, but he didn’t expect Rebecca to follow him into his car.

“Auntie, you”

“Sorry, I was too excited when Elena came back earlier and neglected the gentleman, may I ask your name? How do you address?” Rebecca sat on the passenger side and asked with a smile.

“Auntie, my name is Aaron, you can just call me Aaron.” Aaron said as he drove.

It’s really sad, how to say, he is also considered handsome, but Rebecca unexpectedly until now to notice him, this family is really rude, and the brother, into the door without looking at him, but for the sake of the boss, he ignored it all.

“Thank you for taking care of my Elena these past few years, how long have you been dating?” Rebecca will be like all mothers-in-law, full of glowing eyes looking at Aaron.

“Auntie, you must not misunderstand, Elena and I are just friends.” Aaron listened, his scalp tingled, being a mother’s mind, he understood, but he did not dare to present himself as a boyfriend, if the boss knew, 80% would cut off friendship with him.
