Finally I Got You

Elena changed Fred before straightening up. Although his clothes had been changed, the whole room looked like it had just been smoked with wine, full of the smell of alcohol, and she was even a little dizzy.

Elena was tired and hungry after a long day of work, and remembered the bowl of noodles she had cooked earlier. Once she reached the living room, she froze when she saw the man sitting inside, and then remembered the friend who had sent Fred back earlier.

“Thank you for bringing Fred back, what can I get you to drink?” Elena walked towards Albert, it was late and she should actually ask someone to leave, but that seemed a bit unkind, so she awkwardly said.

“I’m Albert, Fred’s friend, and since you’re out, I can go back too.” Albert wanted to sit more, but it was really late, it was already early in the morning, and if he didn’t leave, he would disturb the beauty’s rest, but while he was talking, his stomach actually rumbled, which made him quite embarrassed, he rubbed his stomach and said, “Sorry, I lost my temper in front of the beauty.”

“If you don’t mind, I can go cook a bowl of noodles.” Elena was also quite embarrassed and looked at the cold bowl of noodles awkwardly in front of him.

Albert smiled and sat down, although he could find food everywhere outside, he wanted to see if he could help Fred, so he nodded his head and said, “Okay, then I’ll make myself at home.”

Bored to death, Albert turned on the TV, while Elena went into the kitchen, no matter what, can not just let people eat vegetarian noodles, the good thing is that there is everything in the refrigerator, a few minutes later, Elena made a bowl of fragrant assorted noodles.

“Sorry, I’ll have to ask you to make do with what you have.” Elena came out with the noodles and also brought over the bowl of cold noodles.

“Wow, it smells so good, Fred is so blessed, then I’ll be polite.” Albert said, picking up his chopsticks and bringing them to his mouth.

Elena reminded, “Slow down, it’s just cooked, it will be hot.”

“Wow, it smells so good, it’s delicious, it tastes like home and happiness ……” Albert slurred as he ate.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Looking at Albert eating with taste, Elena’s heart was actually a little sour, although Fred had eaten many meals at home, he would also say it was delicious, but never had this satisfied expression of the man in front of him.

It was a simple bowl of noodles, but the man in front of me, eating it, was like the most delicious food under the sky, making her, the cook, feel especially satisfied.

“Hello, my name is Albert, Fred’s long time friend, I’m really sorry for getting him drunk today.” Albert almost finished the whole bowl of noodles in one sitting, and was still a little as if he couldn’t get enough.

“It’s inevitable to get drunk when you’re out socializing, there’s still some in the pot, do you want to eat more?” Seeing that Albert had eaten the bowl clean, not even the soup left, Elena said again.

“Good, it’s been a long time since I’ve eaten such delicious noodles.” Albert said without mincing words.

“It’s hard for you guys to eat this kind of vegetarian noodles when you’re out socializing every day is true, right?” Maybe because Albert finished the whole bowl of noodles, Elena’s speech was not so rusty.

“Of course not, in fact, I rarely eat noodles, only when I was a child, I ate the noodles cooked by my grandmother, then occasionally eat, but also do not have that taste, so no longer eat, today you cooked the noodles, especially delicious, a little ……”

“Grandma’s taste.” Elena heard Albert say, took over, Albert froze, then laughed out loud, Elena also followed the laugh.

“Do you wait at home every day for Fred to come home? No matter how late?” After dinner, Albert didn’t say go, and Elena didn’t rush, even though it was late, but both Elena and Albert seemed to have something to say.

Elena wanted to know more about Fred from Albert, while Albert wanted to help Fred test Elena if she already knew about Fred and the little secretary.

“No, usually I’m asleep when Fred comes back, tonight I’ve only been drawing because I was feeling better, and after I finished, I felt a little hungry, so I made something to eat, and it just so happened that you sent him back.” Elena shook her head and looked a little indifferent.

Since moving here, on the surface, the two seemed to be closer, but in reality, they seemed to be rusty, and they had less time to communicate.

Albert smiled, “Such a dedicated employee, Fred has really earned his keep. Or are you used to taking your work home to do.”

Elena had a moment of disorientation, because of the children, over the years, she basically worked at home, but recently she was a little uncomfortable, the children were not around, Fred went to work, and her heart always felt empty.

Seeing that Elena seemed to be thinking about something, Albert was busy apologizing, “I’m sorry, I shouldn’t ask such a personal question.”

Elena then came back from missing her children, she had been away from them for almost half a year, it was time to go back and see them, in a few months, the child would be five years old, she couldn’t hesitate like that, “No, it’s just that I’m used to working at home these years, I guess, and I’ve quit.”

“Is it because of your relationship as a couple? If it’s because of that, you could have changed companies, or ……”

Elena interrupted Albert in shock, if Fred had told Albert about their marriage, then their relationship was definitely extraordinary, “You knew?”

“You mean about your marriage.” Albert smiled as if to gain Elena’s trust, “Maybe I am the only outsider who has seen your marriage certificate, so when Fred talked about it and you showed up, I was curious and always wondered what kind of girl, would marry Fred?”

Elena froze at first, and then smiled coyly when she understood what Albert meant by big black bear.

“At that time I gambled with my mother, originally the day Fred and I registered, was my third wedding, but the night before, I went to see my new room, just in time to see him and his lover rolling around in the marriage bed, I went home and I had a big fight with my mother, but my mother still insisted that I marry, in a fit of anger, I left home, then closed my eyes and walked down the street, I told myself that as long as the first person I bumped into was a man and unmarried, I would marry him ……” Elena laughed when she thought of the impulse she felt at the time.

“My God, you’re so bold.” Albert had heard it all over again from Fred at first, but this still sounded particularly startling.

Elena said, eyes looking in the direction of the bedroom, all these years she did not regret, but now, she is extremely contradictory, lightly sighed and said: “later I thought about it, and indeed very bold, but, this may also be a kind of fate.”

Looking at Elena’s look, Albert was shocked and almost speechless, this look, there is only one explanation, that is，” you fell in love with Fred?”

Elena withdrew her eyes and said with emotion, “Love is sometimes very simple, maybe it’s just a look, a word of concern, or just an encounter.”

“You’re right, it’s getting late, I’m going back to rest too.” Albert heard a movement in the bedroom, so that the drunken man in the house would not see jealousy in a moment, got up and said.

“Good, thank you so much for tonight.” Elena thanked again.

“You’re very kind, Fred and I are friends, these are the right things to do, to say the least, it’s me who should thank you, it’s so late, I have to ask you to cook a snack, another day, I’ll treat you to dinner.” Albert said and headed for the door, but behind him came the unpleasant hum of someone.

“Honey, where are you?” It turned out that this would be Fred’s drink receded a little, and seeing that Elena was not around, he climbed up and staggered out.

“No need to send, you go take care of Fred, drunk people are more difficult to serve a little, you will be very hard tonight, no need to send.” Albert waved his hand to Elena, it would be really late, before he knew it an hour or so had passed.

“Bye.” Elena said goodbye and closed the door behind her, before running upstairs to Fred at a fast pace.

“Fred, are you feeling any better?” Elena asked with concern as she helped Fred up.

“Water, I need some water.” Fred was leaning against the wall, his head was heavy, but his consciousness hadn’t returned, except that just now he seemed to see someone else in the house, and it was a man.

“Go lie down on the bed, I’ll get the water.” Elena tried to help Fred up, but this time Fred was childlike and willful.

“No go – it’s not Kevin coming, is it?” Fred sat on the floor, tugging on Elena’s arm, and just wouldn’t get up.

“No, it was your friend Albert who brought you back, so get up and I’ll get you some water.” Elena didn’t know why Fred had brought up her brother, but she couldn’t let him get the wrong idea anyway.

“Albert?” Fred looked at Elena with a half-smile of confusion.

“Yes, he’s supposed to be your friend, it’s him ……”

“You’re lying to me, it’s Kevin isn’t it?” Fred, however, suddenly grabbed Elena’s arms and shouted furiously, “He came to tell you that I have a woman outside, right? What did he say? Did he tell you that I was out with another woman?”

Elena’s heart trembled, Fred was drunk, but a drunk person shouldn’t talk without any basis, and this time he himself said there was a woman out there? What was going on? Could it be that he wasn’t out socializing, but meeting women?

She didn’t want to doubt it, but Fred was grabbing her like a drunk.

Elena calmed Fred down, she had to take care of him first anyway, “Fred, it’s not true, I didn’t tell my family that I moved in with you, so don’t get your head in the sand.”

“You’re lying, you’re lying, hahaha …… you’re all liars, liars ……,” Fred giggled, pushing Elena away, which left Elena at her wits end, she had no experience in taking care of drunk people.

Fearing that he would go berserk again, Elena just had to go along with his words, “Okay, okay, we’re all liars, so can you go back to bed now.”

“No, wife, you have to believe me, I am not with another woman …… wife, you have to believe me ……” Fred said, tugging Elena again and pulling her towards himself.

“Yes, I believe you, I believe you, good boy, let’s go back to bed” Elena cried and laughed, this time she was not in the mood to think too much, but the drunken man, not cute at all.
