5,
It was a surprise to meet the family of three.
At the transfer airport, the VIP lounge was so small. She was flipping through a book and heard the laughter of a child. She subconsciously looked up and was stunned.
Fate was too cruel, making them inevitably meet in this space.
Jone was holding a child in one hand and a toy in the other hand. There was a woman next to him, probably Abby. She only saw the wedding invitation once, but she remembered the name.
Abby snuggled up to Jone, laughing and reaching out to tease the child.
A standard happy family of three.
Her mind was blank. When Jone looked over, he was obviously stunned. The woman next to him seemed very sensitive and looked between them suspiciously. Fortunately, both of them were decent people who were good at hiding their emotions. Janet reacted first and said with a smile: ‘What a coincidence, are Mr. Smith and his family going out for a trip?’ Jone nodded and put the child down. It was hard to tell what emotion he was feeling. Panic? Guilt? Embarrassment? She was tired and didn’t want to analyze it. She only heard him reply in a low voice: ‘Yes.’ The two of them were like strangers who only nodded to each other, and then they stopped talking. She lowered her head and pretended to read a book, but soon put the book down because her hands were shaking badly and she was afraid of being laughed at. It’s okay, Janet, it’s okay. She closed her eyes to comfort herself, it’s okay, it’s just a meeting, you can do it, calm down. Abby didn’t think so, or it was just a simple greeting, or maybe not, who cares? She asked Janet tentatively: ‘Do you know Jone? What’s your name?’
Then she smiled and said, ‘What a coincidence.’ Such a temptation was too stupid. Janet actually wanted to embarrass her. She wanted to smile and reply with malice: ‘My name is Janet.’ She believed that even if Abby didn’t know her face, she must be familiar with her name.
But her good upbringing stopped her, not to mention that this woman didn’t actually destroy her marriage. In fact, Abby and Jone knew each other earlier than she and Jone.
She moved her lips and replied gently with her good upbringing: ‘We just know each other.’ Then she stood up politely and said goodbye to them: ‘I’m going to the bathroom. I wish you all a good time.’ She didn’t look sideways and didn’t look at Jone the whole time.
Maintaining her last bit of decency and dignity, she left with her back straight.
It was not until the moment the plane took off, with the blindfold covering her eyes tightly, that she began to tremble. She took a quick glance in the VIP room and found that the child actually looked very much like Jone, with similar eyes and nose.
She had actually thought about it before, if she and Jone had a child, would it be a boy or a girl?
Would it look like her or him?
What kind of father would Jone be?
She used to think that she and Jone would definitely give the child the best education and love, because although she didn’t know whether Jone liked her or not, he would definitely be a good father with his sense of responsibility.
She had never thought that one day when she got pregnant, he would ask her to abort the child.
If, if the child was born, it would be one year old now. Would it be a boy or a girl?
Who would it look like?
What would its personality be like?
If, if… She actually understood Jone. She knew him too well. He lost his father at a young age and knew the importance of a father in a child’s growth. In addition, he was a person with such a strong sense of responsibility, so he would not abandon the mother and child.
Sometimes, she couldn’t help but think maliciously, if she had given birth to the child, who would John choose?
How should he balance it if she was more selfish.
But she also thought, if her child had to compete with other children for that little bit of fatherly love, wouldn’t it be too sad?
How could she let herself fall into such a situation of being a complaining woman.
Fortunately, fortunately, her marriage with John was only three years. She sometimes regretted why this marriage was so short. If it was longer, and John fell in love with her, would it be a little more difficult to make a choice?
But sometimes she was very fortunate that it was so short, and she didn’t have time to get too deep, and she still had the possibility of pulling out.
She had good looks, good knowledge, good personality, and the person she pursued was also good in everything. The most important thing was that there would be someone who loved her wholeheartedly.
She would eventually find someone who loved her wholeheartedly.
She leaned her head against the window. In fact, she could have held back. What could she not hold back? When she was a child, she was taught to hold back. Only by holding back her thoughts, manners and words could she be restrained, reserved and polite. But how could she not hate?
Her tears were raging under her eye mask. She cried silently. In this corner where no one could see her, no one knew her embarrassment, and no one saw her sadness.
Delphi was not the center of the world. The two pigeons had circled most of the earth and continued to move forward when they met. That was not the beginning of a beautiful story.
It was just a very ordinary, insignificant, and insignificant episode that no one cared about. Even the regret was as light as a sigh.
Life needs not only love, but also dignity and self-esteem.
The story from Abby side.
When I married Jone, everyone was laughing at me.
However, I gritted my teeth and endured it.
I know that this is what I deserve. Jone divorced his ex-wife because of me. She is such a delicate person, and everyone in the Smith family likes her, so he looks at me more and more unpleasantly, cold and harsh, but I can endure it.
Life has slapped me in the face countless times over the years. If I had to explain every slap to others, I would have starved to death countless times with Tim over the years.
Later, many people spread the rumor that I had bad intentions and deliberately gave birth to a child so that I could find Jone and force him to divorce his original wife to take over the position when he grew up. In front of others, everyone greeted me politely with a smile, but when they turned their backs, they would say with disdain: Bah.
They bahed at me, and to be honest, I looked down on myself.
But I can swear that meeting Jone again was an accident that was not planned at all.
I don’t know how you would react when you meet your first love again after six years, but Jone and I were very calm. For me, it was just an ordinary workday. We hadn’t seen each other for six years. When we looked at each other, we were just slightly stunned for a moment, and then he asked with a little surprise: ‘Is it you?’ I greeted him with a smile unique to the service industry: ‘Hello, Mr. Smith, how can I help you?’ It’s been too long, love and hate have faded in the friction of life, we are just strangers who remember each other’s appearance and name. After he was stunned, he was also very generous and told me that he wanted to customize a ring for his wife. There are still seven months before their wedding anniversary, and he wants to book a gift in advance. He booked it seven months in advance, probably because he was afraid that the final product would not meet the expected effect. If it doesn’t look good, there is still time to prepare other gifts. He always likes to be foolproof when doing things. After so many years, it has not changed. I smiled and said, ‘You are so thoughtful. Your wife will be very happy when she receives the gift.’ Diamonds are the best love treasure. Gold may depreciate, but diamonds will never depreciate. They are always shining and dazzling. A star once said that diamonds below one carat are called broken diamonds and are worthless. It can be seen that love below one carat is also worthless. But I know that Jone is very rich, so the diamonds I recommend to him are all above five carats. It can definitely reflect true love. He lowered his head and carefully selected, with his eyebrows slightly frowned, very focused. I have been working at this counter for more than two years and met many people of all kinds, including couples who shyly choose wedding rings and wealthy people who bring their beautiful and tender lovers to choose rings. They spend a lot of money and only pick the most expensive ones. But he was the only one who was very focused, carefully selecting one by one. Finally, he chose a pink diamond. He looked up and smiled at me without any reservations. There was really no need for reservations between us. He said, ‘This is it. She has fair skin and it will look good on her.’ After choosing, he chose the cutting pattern, determined the style and paid the deposit. When he was about to leave, Wang Jie, who was on the same shift as me, took Tim into the store and ran into Jone. As she walked, she said to me, ‘Abby, I picked up the child for you on the way. You don’t have to run again later.’ It was over, I sighed in my heart. I couldn’t see Jone’s expression, I could only see his back. He froze for a long time, then turned his head to look at me. The bright and gorgeous crystal lights in the store were projected straight down, illuminating his face pale. He moved his lips and didn’t say anything, but I understood what he meant. He wanted to talk to me. Because Tim and he looked too similar. Sister Wang helped me take care of Tim. Jone and I sat in a coffee shop downstairs in the mall. After a long silence, he asked me directly, ‘Is it mine?’ There was no point in hiding it at this time, so I looked him in the eye, nodded and said, ‘Yes, it’s yours.’ His face became uglier and uglier, and finally turned pale. He just asked, ‘At that time, at that time…’ He stopped talking, and I looked at him with a smile without saying anything. To be honest, seeing him like this, I was actually very happy. I have suffered so much for him for so many years. Sometimes when I couldn’t hold on, I wondered, why, why did I suffer so much, but the initiator didn’t know anything, why? But I fought for my breath, and no matter how difficult it was, I never went to find him. Now seeing his absent-minded look, I finally felt happy. If it wasn’t for the wrong occasion, I really wanted to laugh and ask him, ‘Jone, you have come to this day too?’ He followed me back to the store to pick up Tim. Tim was very well behaved and didn’t ask this pale-faced uncle why he kept following us. Tim told me that the school was going to order the autumn uniforms, and everyone had to pay 370 yuan to the school. After that, he asked worriedly: ‘I asked the teacher, and the teacher said that school uniforms must be bought. Mom, do we have money?’ From childhood to adulthood, the sentence he said most often was: ‘Mom, do we have money?’ I held his little arm and said, ‘We have money.’ I don’t know what Jone felt when he heard this behind me. He could buy a diamond ring worth hundreds of thousands of yuan in one minute without blinking, but his son had to worry about a 370 yuan school uniform at such a young age. I don’t know what he thought, because I don’t know when he left quietly.
