A cup of hot water was handed to him. Angela, who was sitting on the head of the bed with her legs in her arms, whispered thank you and reached out to take it. Although her eyes were red and her face was full of exhaustion. But it was much better than the previous crying.
Angela rubbed the cup for a while before asking softly, "Is Willie asleep?"
"Sleep." Sitting down on the chair beside the bed, Annie nodded.
"She..." Angela hesitated, and her voice became even lower. "Did you say anything?"
"No, Willie just asked what's wrong with you. I told her that you've been in a bad mood recently, and you're in a trance," Annie said comfortingly. "She asked me to tell you, and I hope you'll be happy as soon as possible."
Angela couldn't help choking and covering her face: "Damn, how could I do such a thing!"
This was the first time in her life that she cried without image, until her limbs became weak and could not stand up. The pain of losing everything and feeling sorry for everyone tormented her and made her unbearable. If it wasn't for Annie holding her tightly all the time, maybe she might have done some self-harm.
Even though she managed to stabilize herself in Annie's arms, she helped her out and met Willie who came to look for her, she hugged her sister and cried a lot again, repeatedly saying sorry for frightening the little girl.
"Okay, Angie. It's all right," Annie took her in her arms again. "At least you didn't go wrong."
"That's because... With you by my side..." Angela suddenly hugged Annie and leaned against her shoulder with her eyes closed, "I can't imagine what terrible things would have happened if you hadn't stopped me."
Annie did not speak. She just gently patted her back in comfort, and the room fell silent. After a long time, Angela finally left Annie's arms. She stared at the other person's face, and suddenly asked with a tentative voice, "That... what you said before... in that room... does it count now?"
"It still counts?" Annie blinked incomprehensibly, but she quickly woke up, and her face suddenly became strange. But after a few seconds, she will regain her composure, and she will answer with a chuckle.
Angela immediately raised her hand: "Okay, I'm just joking."
"Just kidding?" Annie raised her eyebrows in surprise, Angela nodded with a wry smile, and then sighed: "If I have done anything right in the past two years, it is... I haven't touched you, Annie."
Her eyes suddenly turned red again, and her voice became a little choked: "You are my best friend, Annie, I can't imagine. What would happen if I crossed that line with you too."
"I know, Angie," Annie looked into Angela's eyes and kissed her cheek, "I know you're in pain, I never blamed you. I've always believed that you'll cheer up. As long as you need me, I will I won't leave you, I swore it. Remember. I told you, I... I'm your shadow."
"Yes, I remember," Angela took her hand, with sadness and joy in her eyes. "sorry."
"It's getting late." Annie patted her arm lightly, "No matter how long the night is, dawn will always come, so let's put everything down and have a good rest."
Angela nodded obediently, drank the still warm hot water and lay down. Annie covered her with a blanket and kissed her forehead, then turned off the light and left.
Seeing Annie leave the bedroom, Angela sighed long and heartily, as if she had unloaded something. With a happy smile. She rolled over and closed her eyes.
After that chaotic night, everything seemed to be developing for the better. Angela didn't always have the decadent look like before, and she didn't care about everything and didn't know what to do. Although I still haven't returned to work, I am exercising and practicing musical instruments every day, instead of lying in bed watching the sunrise and sunset. Her smiles also increased, and she no longer lost her temper for no reason and came to apologize after a few hours.
Annie still presided over the daily affairs as usual, took care of the affairs of the villa, and smiled but did not answer the questions from the servants about "what happened to Miss Angela". Alizee also maintains the same indifferent expression day after day every day. It's just that I rarely meet Angela alone.
The sound of ding ding dong dong is flowing back and forth in the room, although it is very simple but very beautiful. However, the piano player didn't think so. Pressing the last key, Angela sighed a little depressedly: "Sure enough, if you don't practice for three days, you will be born with hands, and you haven't touched it for a few days, even simple etudes. wrong."
"But I think it sounds good." Annie asked puzzledly, who was packing up the books that had been thrown on the bed.
"That's because you haven't practiced," Angela shrugged, "I've been playing for 20 years since I was 4 years old. Even when I was so busy in the past few years, I still found time to practice. No matter how small mistakes are, I can detect them. arrive."
"It's just like if you forgot something in this villa, just ask me and you'll find it, because I'm much more familiar than you." Annie nodded understandingly, and after a pause she spoke again. Said: "Okay, don't feel sorry for yourself, just practice more and you can correct these mistakes. Also, if you don't want to do it, please tell me directly."
She said, raised the book in her hand, and put it among the neatly coded books. Angela patted her head embarrassedly when she remembered something. She quickly got up and closed the lid and walked to the front of the bookcase. She picked up a rag and rubbed it a few times in the water basin beside it, and then wiped it carefully.
"My God," Angela sighed a few minutes later, looking at the spot she had wiped, "the dresser is like this, and the bookcase is like this. If my mother knew that my housework was so bad, she would kill me. of."
After a pause, she added: "If she didn't know about that."
"Okay, Angie, let me do it." Annie snatched the rag from her hand angrily and funny, "It's better to leave this kind of thing to me. If you want to practice housework, you have time."
"Yes, yes, there is time." Angela said angrily, looking at Annie who was deftly cleaning up the bookcase.
"As for Mrs. Elena, don't worry too much. When Willie left, she told you to take a good rest. Even if... she guessed something. She knows what can be said and what can't be said." Annie said comfortingly. .
Angela was silent, and after a while, she said softly: "Actually, I somewhat hope that mom and dad know about this. They will definitely be disappointed. Their proudest daughter actually did this..."
"Don't say such silly things, Angie!" Annie interrupted her sternly, "Don't say anything like 'It would be better to be reprimanded by your parents', this is not a simple mistake, and you also control it in the end Live on your own. Sometimes it's better not to know than to know. You should know this!"
Angela stared blankly at Annie. After a while, she twitched the corners of her mouth pretending to be: "I'm really surprised, Annie, you can be my housekeeper. How can you say such a thing."
"Then what do you think I should say?" Anne asked, turning her head and staring at her angrily.
"Okay, okay, I see." Angela raised her hands for the first time, and after sighing a little funny, she suddenly got up and hugged him from behind.
"Thank you." Angela, who rested her head on her shoulder, murmured, "It's all like a nightmare. I struggled to get out, but I kept falling again and again. Just when I was most desperate, You woke me up, you pulled me up. Annie, thank you, you're my best friend, promise me, don't give up on me."
Annie stopped the movement in her hands, and after a few minutes of silence, she turned around and pressed against Angela's forehead: "You should understand, Angie, I'm just an external cause, if you really gave up on yourself long ago, then no matter what I do, you can't Wake you up. But I can promise you that I'll be by your side. As long as you need me, I swear."
The two stared at each other at such a close distance, and they both burst out laughing for a moment. They both saw the deep friendship in each other's eyes.
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, followed by Alizee pushing the door in: "Jack called just now, and there is an invitation that must be yours..."
The scene in front of her made her stunned for a while, but she picked it up immediately: "You have to make your own decision, remember to call him back."
Without waiting for Angela to answer, Alizee turned and left the room. Angela wanted to catch up, but when she saw Annie, she became hesitant again. Although she has recovered from the nightmare because of Annie, she has been much better, but there are still some difficult things that she still doesn't know how to do. After all, she didn't touch Annie, but it was a 100% fact that she had sex with Ai Xinjie, and Ailijie called herself and Annie...
Although the relationship with Annie has been very harmonious these days, Angela has never mentioned this in front of Annie. It is not that she has no courage but that she wants to find a suitable opportunity.
"What do you want to ask?" Annie asked first.
"Yes." Angela nodded depressedly, but she didn't expect Annie to take the lead.
"I think you should already know," Angela murmured, a little afraid to look at her again, "that day... because my head was dizzy, so... I slept with Lily, and after that, she said she and you... She and you are already a couple..."
Angela rubbed her nose and finally summoned up the courage to look up into Annie's eyes: "Is that so?"
Annie watched her quietly for a few minutes, then nodded: "Yes."
