Do You Love Me (novel) Zhang Baotong 2016.8.9

7. Emotional rifts

Leon and Aikania soon became lovers. This is exactly the result of Leon www.biquge.info's boss Williams secretly matchmaking. Because he felt that Leon was a smart, capable, loyal and simple young man, and had a superb handiwork. Therefore, he persuaded Aikania to fall in love with Leon. In fact, Ekania had fallen in love with Leon ever since she heard the story he told him about Bazaar.

After a few years of dating, Leon proposed to Aikania and when he was 25 years old, the two got married. They bought a house on the outskirts of New York. The house is a small two-story building with ten rooms of various sizes on each floor. The house is next to a small river. In front of the house is a meadow that stretches to the river, which is lined with towering trees. The environment is very quiet. At that time, during the Great Depression in the United States, it was not easy for Leon to buy such a house.

Because the suburbs are far from where he works, Leon gets up early every morning and drives into the city to work. After work, I have to drive another hour to get home. But Akania is very capable, and always cleans the house neatly and neatly, so that he can have a delicious meal when he returns home. He thinks it's good to have a home. On Saturdays and Sundays, he would drive Ekania to the beach for a vacation, or to go to town for a movie. They love each other and live comfortably and happily.

After a few years of their marriage, Akania became pregnant. In order not to tire her, Leon hired a young nanny. The babysitter was a black girl named Jenny, who helped Ekania mop the floor, clean, cook and do laundry. But the lawn in front of the house and the flowers and plants in the garden had to be cleaned up by Leon himself. So, these things are usually done by Leon himself on Saturday or Sunday.

Perhaps because Aikania is pregnant and it is inconvenient to go out, Leon rarely drives her out to play. So, he fell in love with fishing. And it's also easy to fish, right on the edge of the creek in front of his house. There are a lot of fish in the small river, and sometimes you can catch more than ten kilograms in one morning. When he couldn't finish the fish, he asked the nanny named Jenny to cut them open, sprinkle them with salt, dry them, and fry them in oil.

And Ekania would come to the river and watch Leon fish. Sometimes, she would pick up a book and sit next to Leon and accompany Leon while reading the book. Because she loves Leon so much.

The following year, Akania gave birth to a boy named Peter. After having a child, Jenny had to do many things in the house, and Akania did her best to take care of the child. At this time, she felt that the relationship between her and Leon had begun to have some problems like the young couple in the movie "Sunrise". Although there was no instigation from the women from the city, the feeling of intimacy and love between husband and wife seemed to disappear unconsciously. Leon almost no longer drives her out for leisure vacations, rarely takes her into town to watch movies, and doesn't remember to give her gifts even for holidays and birthdays. Instead, they often sat by the river and did not return home until the dead of night. When he returned home, he didn't talk to her much, but sat alone in his room.

That night, when Ekania saw Leon return to the house from the river, she went into his house and said to Leon, "My dear, I don't understand why you are so cold to me, is it because I am at fault in some way that makes you unhappy?"

Leon shook his head and said, "Honey, you didn't do anything wrong, you did a good job, it's just that I'm a little upset and want to be quiet for a while. ”

"What the hell is going on?" you haven't kissed me in over a week, and you haven't looked for me. ”

Leon hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot." ”

Aikania said with some displeasure, "I hope you don't forget it tomorrow." So saying, he went back to his room. Originally, she thought that her reminder would get Leon's attention, and then she would come to her to apologize and coax her affectionately, so that she would leave him to make out and spend the night with him. Because they haven't been together in days. However, she waited until eleven o'clock in the evening, and did not see him coming. She was so angry that she wondered if Leon was like the man in "Sunrise" who fell in love with another woman. However, the man finally went through a struggle of ideas and came to his senses and fell in love with his wife again. So, she thought that Leon must have fallen into some confusion, and that there should be a way to bring him to his senses.

It's finally the day before Valentine's Day. Spring is the time when the grass is green, the flowers are in full bloom, the spring is full of joy, and the spring is rippling. Akania decides to leave the baby in the hands of the nanny Jenny and wants to invite Leon to go on a vacation to the seaside with her. She wanted to change the environment, and the feeling they would definitely be very different together. So, she went to Leon's house to discuss a relaxing vacation with him.

When she walked to Leon's room, the song "Good Old Times" was playing on the gramophone. She was all too familiar with this song, because she often heard Leon play this song, and played it several times at a time. Although she felt that the song was too sad and not good for the relationship between husband and wife, she never told him.

At this moment, Leon was writing intently under the lamp, as if he were writing to someone. So, she quietly walked behind him to see what he was writing. To her great surprise, Leon was writing the name "Bazaar Bazaar" on a piece of paper, almost filling a sheet of paper. No wonder he was so preoccupied all day long, it turned out that his whole heart was still pretending to be the princess named Bazaar.

So, she snatched the paper in front of him, and then, in annoyance, she shouted in a rage, "Leon, you liar, you hypocrite. ”

Leon did not notice his wife's surprise, he was startled, and when he saw that his writing had been snatched away by her, he felt that she was deliberately offending him, so he was very angry, and rushed over to retrieve the letter. But his wife wouldn't give it to him. If it was something else, he could not fight with her, but it would be a great humiliation for him to have his wife hold it in his hands. So, desperately, he threw his wife to the ground and snatched the paper out of her hand with all his might.

Aikania was even more furious, and he felt that Leon had been unfaithful to her and had deceived her feelings, so he cried out loudly, "Leon, you are a liar and a hypocrite. With that, he got up from the ground, grabbed the playing record from the gramophone, and threw it hard to the ground.

When Leon saw that Aikania had dropped his beloved record on the ground, he turned red and shouted, "You're crazy!" and hurriedly picked it up from the ground.

Aikania still didn't get rid of her hatred, and even went to drop the gramophone. Fortunately, Leon blocked it. As soon as Aikania saw that she couldn't fall, she gritted her teeth and shouted, "Leon, you are a liar and a hypocrite, and I want to divorce you." So saying, he ran out.

Leon thought that Aikania had run back to her room, so she didn't pay much attention to it, and just put the record on the gramophone to see if it was broken. Thankfully, the record was not damaged. Leon sat in his room, gasping for breath as he thought about what had just happened.
