Kevin saw it, rushed from the elevator to rush down, but the floor is not high, he rushed to the first floor when the elevator door just opened.NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.
Seeing Kevin in front of her, Elena put her bag on her shoulder and tried to get around him, “I’m going to school, please don’t follow me.”
“I’ll walk you there.”
Kevin looked at Elena’s expression and knew that it was useless to say anything at this time, so he had to bear with it. The baby was already in her belly anyway, so he could only wait until he got home in the evening or she calmed down a bit before discussing the matter.
From the time, the child is almost four months, he has to consult the doctor properly, this time to abort the child, I do not know whether it will have an impact on Elena’s body, in short, he feels that the child can not be wanted.
“No need, you go to work, I can go to school by myself.” The last person Elena wanted to see was Kevin, she was extremely afraid of him, his eyes looked like an executioner, revealing minute by minute the desire to kill her baby.
“Elena, don’t be so capricious, you are too unsafe now, brother will send you.” Kevin specially emphasized the word brother.
“Brother, before today, every day I went by myself, and there is nothing unsafe, so please rest assured brother, give me some time, if there is any problem, can we talk at home at night?” Elena was serious about talking to Kevin, her stomach was here and there was nothing to hide, not to mention that she was married and the birth of this child was perfectly legal.
Seeing that Elena was so insistent, Kevin just had to say, “Okay, you must be careful on your way.”
“Well, please don’t tell Dad and Mom for now, brother.”
Before leaving, Elena made a small request to Kevin.
Kevin nodded, called a cab for Elena, and sent her to the car before leaving.
As he watched Elena leave, the fire in Kevin’s heart was burning, that Fred Garner was such a jerk, he had gotten Elena pregnant, this was unforgivable, never forgivable.
The whole day, Kevin could not read any documents, and his mood seemed extremely restless, he kept looking at his watch, and he left an hour before the end of the day.
He didn’t go straight home, but went to school to pick up Elena. He knew that Elena had only two classes in the afternoon and was early, so he waited at the school gate.
Elena didn’t expect Kevin to come, so she walked out as usual, and just as she left the school, Kevin saw her and called out to Elena, “Elena, I’m here.”
When she heard Kevin’s voice Elena’s eyebrows immediately knitted up, today Kevin is not the usual abnormal, it seems that maybe she should move out.
Although it was said that they were brother and sister, it seemed like something was different since he knew her life, especially the way her brother looked at her, which made her very uneasy.
This time Elena didn’t refuse and got into Kevin’s car, only to get in and be silent. Even though Kevin wanted to say something, he saw Elena’s eyes always looking toward the car window, making him embarrassed, and gave up, intending to go home and communicate again.
“Elena, let’s order takeout tonight.” After parking the car properly, Kevin said to Elena.
“Whatever.” Elena looked a little lethargic, probably because of the heart time effect, and seemed to get tired especially easily after knowing her pregnancy.
“Elena, why don’t you have a glass of milk first and we’ll talk about the baby, okay?” When he got home, Kevin poured a glass of milk for Elena and said.
Elena took the milk and after taking a big sip, she squared up to Kevin and said, “Brother, this is my baby, and I will have it.”
Kevin squatted in front of Elena, looked at her abdomen and said with the same seriousness, “Elena, have you ever thought about your current situation, you are still studying, if you keep this child, it will delay your studies, and you don’t have a marriage certificate on you, how many different looks you will have to bear then, do you know?”
Hearing her brother’s words, Elena was disappointed, she thought her brother would support her, although Fred did not come to her, but she and Fred are already married, this is a fact, why should her brother make her feel that this child ‘comes from an unknown source’?
“Brother, I’m married, this child is a legitimate child, I don’t need to suffer any strange eyes, besides, even if others say anything, it’s no one else’s business, it’s mine, I’m living for myself, not for others.”
“That’s true, but we live in this world, we must bear the eyes of others, Elena, you have a hard time, picking up your textbooks again, giving birth to this child, have you ever thought about how long it will be delayed?” Seeing that Elena seemed to be a little angry, Kevin only had to come up with Elena’s ideals to convince her.
“But, I thought about it, I can take a year off from school, it’s not much, besides I’m not the first one, I’m confident that I won’t throw away my studies.”
“But Elena, have you ever thought about how hard it is to have and raise a child?” Kevin hesitated when he saw that there was no way to convince Elena to have an abortion.
Elena bowed her head and stroked her stomach, she thought the connection between her and Fred was just broken, now God gave her a child, this is to tell her that they will be reunited again, they are a couple, it is impossible to just scatter, “I know, no matter how hard it is, I will raise the child, I believe that one day, I will be reunited with Fred. ”
“Elena, did you really decide to have the baby?” Kevin looked a little bitter, this result he also thought about today, since it is impossible to convince Elena to abort the child, then only to support her to give birth to the child, just the child needs a father, now is not a good time for him to go to Elena to show his heart and present marriage.
Although to outsiders, it may seem a bit of taking advantage of the situation, but he believes that Elena will understand his heart one day.
“Yes, I’m going to have the baby no matter what, until I take a break from school next semester.” Elena nodded her head heavily again, she hoped that her brother would accept her decision instead of repeatedly persuading her to abort the baby.
“Okay, then brother marries you.” Kevin stood up and made up his mind.
“Ah… brother, what are you talking about? We are brother and sister, what are you …… you saying ……” Elena looked at her brother in shock, she was already married, did her brother still not believe it? But even so, they are brother and sister, how can …… brother what is wrong?
“Elena, if you insist on having the baby, I’ll marry you! I’m not your brother, in fact, I’ve been wanting to tell you, but I’m afraid you can’t accept it, I’ve been waiting for you, waiting for you to grow up, waiting for you to graduate, and now you know all about it, we’re not brother and sister at all, we’re not related by blood, it’s perfectly fine ……” Kevin knelt on one knee in front of Elena and proposed as if to say.
“Brother, I’m married, and you’re my brother, forever.” Elena took a deep breath of cold air and said again, “Brother, the baby will be born with the surname Garner.”
“Elena, Fred Garner has disappeared and you’re still thinking about him? You’ve only known each other for three days, what’s so attractive about him? Is your three-day relationship deeper than our twenty-year relationship?” Kevin was deeply hit, three days, twenty-two years of relationship was defeated by a man she had known for three days, how could he not be ashamed of this?
“Brother, you are my brother, we have a brother-sister relationship, but Fred is different, between us-”
“Are you trying to tell me that it’s love between you? Just three days and you’re in love with him? Or did he tell you that he loved you?” Kevin stood up in exasperation, jealous.
“Brother, maybe we don’t have that kind of heartfelt love between us, but he is different in my heart, and I believe that he feels the same way, not to mention that this child is what we have in a normal marriage, so why can’t we have it openly and honestly.” Indeed, Elena couldn’t say the word love, she didn’t know what real love was like? The company’s main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to its customers.
“The child needs a father, and you need a man to take care of you.” Kevin looked at Elena, he couldn’t argue with that, he had seen the marriage certificate, Elena was really married, and at this moment, that was all he could think of.
“Brother, the baby has a father, I believe that one day I will meet Fred again.” Elena was silent for a few seconds, she knew the child needed a father, but she would not betray her feelings, her marriage, because of this.
“Elena, why can’t you forget, can’t you treat those three days as a dream? You want to have the baby, I support you, but please let me be the baby’s father, I will treat him like my own child, I will be with you to take care of the baby and watch him grow.” Looking at the stubborn Elena, Kevin finally spoke up.
“Brother, I know you want to help me, but you’re my brother, you’re the child’s uncle.” This was not the first time Elena had heard this, before Elena could pretend that she had misheard, but now, she had to face up to it, her brother was no longer the same brother, he was now a mature man, a man who wanted to pursue her.
“Elena, you understand, I’m not your brother, we’re not related by blood, I can marry you.” Kevin saw that Elena wouldn’t accept it and bluntly said again.
“Brother, I’ve thought about it, I’ll look for a house in a few days, I’ll move out, we’re brother and sister but we’re adults after all, it’s more than inconvenient to live together.” Elena pushed Kevin away, she knew she had to be quick about it, in her heart, her brother would always be her brother.
“Elena, is it so hard to accept that I like you?” Kevin said sharply as soon as he heard that Elena was moving away.
“No, brother, we are no longer the little kids of ten years ago, we should have our own space, brother should also make a girlfriend and get married as soon as possible, it’s not very convenient to have me there as a light bulb, not to mention, I’m going to be a mother soon, I need to be stronger and more independent, I can’t always rely on brother to stay.” Elena shook her head, she had already decided, she would go look for a house tomorrow and would move out as soon as possible.
“I don’t agree!!!” Kevin got angry.
