Chapter 47: Exhortation
When I first arrived in the U.S., it was Criss Tao who took care of me all the time. Food, clothing, shelter and transportation, everything is arranged by her, every day I can eat delicious meals, every day I can spend every day in her company, it was a good time.
Later, when I was suffering from stomach cancer, she still stayed with me, took care of me faithfully, and accompanied me through the most difficult years.
It was she who let me know that there is a feeling in this world that does not need any reason, it is she who makes me believe that there is still true love in this world, it is she who comforts me when I am most embarrassed, and gives me warmth when I am most unbearable, she is the woman I have the best relationship with me in this world, there is no one.
Every time she comes to give, every time she comes to love me, and now that she is pregnant, I have to take action, so that she can feel the warmth sent by her friends.
Because I have to work every day, so the time at home is very little, although Chris Tao moved to the house, but the time with her is only a few hours at night, and minus the time when Ouyang Ze and I are in bed, it will not be long.
Originally, Christao was staying at home to let her relax, but now she is even busier. When the other maids were busy during the day, she would quietly cook soup without saying a word or meddle in anything, but when they left, she began to get busy and became the overlord of the "housekeeping world".
Her body is getting bulky little by little, and the child in her belly is growing little by little, so that she can no longer bend over as freely as before, nor can she do some heavy work.
Every day when I came back, I could see her cleaning up the places they hadn't taken care of, and her head was shining with beads of sweat.
Even though she moved over, her mood still didn't improve, and her tone was a little depressed when she talked to me, and sometimes she didn't even know what to say, so she just quietly lowered her head and clasped her fingers. And the reason why she is busy is probably to distract herself from thinking about William.
Because of Christao's small stay, Xu Shaohui gradually knew a little about them, and also knew about the shameless things that William had done. But he didn't know Christao very well, so he wasn't too embarrassed to comfort her, so he could only complain to me occasionally.
But it didn't take long for Xu Shaohui to behave abnormally again. Looking at Christao's eyes, it was no longer the same pity as before, but more disdain and contempt.
When I asked him why, he remained silent, just deliberately changing the subject so that I couldn't continue talking about Cristao in front of him. His anomaly wasn't once or twice, so I wasn't surprised anymore, but continued to ignore his presence and his strange remarks as before.
Time was going back little by little, and before we knew it, Kris Tao had been in our house for a month. However, her mood did not improve because of this, but became more depressed, and the smile on her face disappeared little by little. What she does every day is nothing but those things, which is to quietly look out the window.
The weather is getting cooler a little bit, and the roadside scenery is covered with snow more and more often, so the bleak scenery is as miserable as the failed marriage between Cristao and her. She had already made a lot of small clothes, and although she didn't know the sex of the child yet, the clothes with men and women could still comfort her heart.
One day, when Christao sat on the sofa again, twisting the small clothes in her hands, and quietly looked at the snowflakes outside the window in a daze, I finally couldn't help but open my mouth.
"Christao, do you want to go back and see William, it's been so long, it's time to forgive him."
As I sat next to Christao, she was startled, apparently her wandering mind not noticing my arrival, not noticing that I was going to open my mouth to speak.
The whole sky was white through the glass, and the goose-featherlike snowflakes were floating in the air, falling to the ground after dancing again and again.
"I don't want to go back, let's talk about it later."
When William was mentioned, there was still no expression on Christao's face, and she was just two people who loved to laugh before. I was also surprised by such a stark contrast, as if it was winter that took away her smiling face.
Christmas is just around the corner, and it's the most beautiful holiday of the year in the United States. Everyone will be with their families on this day and will spend this happy time together, but this time, Cristao has no intention of going back, and still has to carry the cold war to the end.
"If you don't go back, you have to go and see him, you don't want the child in your belly to miss him."
A hint of dismay flashed across her face at the mention of the child, but she quickly regained her composure. Her hand began to shift to her stomach and began to gently caress the soon-to-be-formed child.
"No, he hasn't come to see me since I moved out for so long, why should I go back to see him."
Her tone was so resolute, it didn't sound like the love of the day, it was more like she was saying it to the enemy, and the cold tone was even more chilling than the temperature outside.
I forgot without her reminder that William really hasn't come to our house to see Christao since she moved out, and he hasn't cared about her, I don't know when I'm not at home, but her phone never rings when I'm at home.
William: What's wrong with this? Isn't he ready to end the Cold War? He didn't say anything, didn't he want to carry this battle to the end?
As long as he doesn't take the initiative, Chris Tao won't take the initiative. Although Chris Tao is usually weak, she is kind to everyone, and she doesn't seem to have any shelves. But she is absolutely cautious in love, and she will never be the first to bow her head, so how can I persuade her?
Who can guarantee that you will not go wrong on the road of love, even if you correct it when you make a mistake, you really can't be so angry, time is short, do you have to keep spending like this, until many years later, you regret not forgiving each other in time?
How can the child in Christao's belly grow up healthily in such a depressing environment, and how can a child who is sad and bleak every day be healthy.
But what can I do to shake Christao's heart?
