Chapter Sixty-Eight: Let's Break Up
Angeli was lying on her pink bed, the bedside light emitted a soft orange glow, but her heart was not as warm as the light, on the contrary, she felt a chill in the depths of her heart.
Thanks to today's developed network, when Descartes just walked out of the police station, Angeli already knew about his affair with Moriel.
The father next door kept coughing slightly, but Angeli's heart was no longer on her sick father at this time, and she wanted to fly to London at once, and ask him what was going on in front of Descartes.
It is almost an indisputable fact that Descartes and Moriel are having an affair, although the police have clarified his suspicion of rape, but the two of them have that kind of relationship, which is already clear to the whole world, so what should she do now, a legitimate girlfriend?
Thanks to Descartes' strict protection of her, Ann Jieli has not appeared in front of the media for the first time so far, and her private information, especially her phone number, is rarely known, but just tonight, a dozen calls came to her home, asking for an interview with her, and the tireless Ann Jieli simply unplugged the phone cord to return the family to peace.
After learning what happened to Descartes, Angel's father was very angry, and even insisted on going to Javier's house in person despite his illness, Ann Jieli's father and Descartes' father, Mr. Javier, were world friends, and the two were able to walk together thanks to the encouragement of both parents, but after knowing that his daughter had been let down, Ann Jieli's father certainly would not easily end the matter. His anger made his condition worse, and finally he lay back on the hospital bed under Ann Jieli's crying.
However, he was still concerned about the matter, and asked Ann Jieli to ask Descartes for an explanation.
What to say?
An Jieli's heart was in turmoil at this time.
Descartes's affair in London, she actually knew about it for a long time, the media always took the trouble to report on Descartes's life in London, if you only read those tabloids, you still think that Descartes went to London to enjoy the nightlife, not to play football.
Those "flowers" An Jieli didn't see that since the media did not directly accuse Descartes of promiscuity, An Jieli could secretly deceive herself in her heart. Going to a bar can also be done purely for the sake of drinking. Besides, he still has so many teammates, and he always needs to socialize, as long as the media does not name and claim that Descartes is having an affair with anyone, she can pretend that she doesn't hear anything. Nothing to see. Just believe in Descartes' love for yourself.
But Zhenma. The Atkinson incident was a big blow to Angel. Descartes had assured her that he and Janma were just "ordinary friends", and if it weren't for the media later breaking the news that Gemma had even lived in Descartes' apartment, the naΓ―ve Angelie would have always thought that they were really just "ordinary friends".
But thankfully, when this incident was exposed. Zhenma resolutely chose to let go, there was really no contact between her and Descartes again, and after worrying and wandering for a while, Angeli finally reluctantly gave up, and expressed her support and trust in Descartes on the phone.
But who knows how good her heart felt when she said those words?
After that, she asked her friend Fanny. Jane asks about how to lock a man's heart firmly, Fanny. Jane gave her a lot of advice, including handing over her body while on vacation, including becoming his agent in the future, all of which she learned from Fanny, and Angeli cherished this relationship very much, and she would love to live her life with Descartes until the end.
But Descartes' merry nature seems to be innate, and after a period of silence, he has a relationship with the Italian supermodel Fontana, although this time he is purely used by the other party, but if he is not the first to be blind, how can he fall into Fontana's trap?
Before Ann Jieli's disappointment subsided, he suddenly made another "rape door" in England, and this time, Ann Jieli was really heartbroken.
Looking at the small and delicate pale red mobile phone on the bedside, Ann Jieli bit her lip tightly, she didn't know whether she should call or not, she wanted to hear Descartes' explanation, but she was afraid, waiting for not an explanation, and it was over.
With such a contradictory mood, An Jieli tossed and turned on the bed, unable to sleep, her eyes would fall on the mobile phone from time to time, and she wanted to prop up and dial the number several times, but before her hand touched the mobile phone, she hesitated, retreated, and forced herself to lie back.
What Ann Jieli didn't know was that on the other side of London, Descartes was also staring at the mobile phone in her hand in a daze, and she was also stuck in a sleepless night.
Ann Jieli didn't dare to call, and Descartes didn't dare to call, Zhenma had already filled him with guilt, and now that such a thing happened, he really didn't know how to face Ann Jieli.
Descartes had never scoffed at such soap operas when it was always entangled and complicated in the interpretation of a simple relationship on television, but when it was his turn, he realized how difficult it was to make a choice sometimes.
On the one hand, it is the love of childhood sweethearts, and on the other hand, it is the active pursuit, although the scale in his heart has been tilting towards Ann Jieli's side, but I don't know why, when he saw Moriel's tears, he couldn't say those words of refusal.
In this way, the two of them have been waiting for the dawn to come back and forth.
Ann Jieli didn't receive a call from Descartes, and deep down in her heart, she already felt a kind of despair, if the man didn't even call to explain, did that mean he had really changed his mind?
An Jieli didn't dare to continue to think about it, two lines of clear tears had unconsciously hung on her face, and when he turned around again, he found that the pillow had been soaked at some point, and the sleeping pillow stained with water in the air in December seemed so cold and piercing, just like her heart now, it had been surrounded by a huge heartache and cold.
Just as she was crying and was about to fall asleep. The phone rang suddenly, and An Jieli almost jumped out of bed in shock, but she quickly picked up the phone and glanced at the caller ID, and the big tears immediately slipped silently from her eyes.
"Hey." Angela herself was shocked, why did her voice become so hoarse in just one night?
"Ann Jieli......" Descartes' deep voice came from the other end of the phone, and his voice was also tinged with a hint of hoarseness, and it seemed that he had a bad night.
"I'm sorry." Descartes did not make superfluous excuses. This matter has been made known to the whole world by Moriel's father. If you deny it at this time, he will really be an idiot.
Angeli heard the guilt in his words, and she suddenly felt a pang of heartache, as if she had been held tightly in the heart. There was silence for a long time. She asked softly, "What are you going to do?" β
"I don't want to lose you. Angeli, I love you. Descartes' voice was full of emotion, and Angeli could hear the sincerity and affection in his words. However, she needs more than sincerity, but loyalty and commitment.
"Will you break up with her?" An Jieli suddenly felt so tired, she has been giving in, she has been patient, she just hopes that this man is single-minded to herself, but today, he seems to have become a little unrecognizable, he spends all day in the newspaper, he is in a foreign land, he is constantly scandalous in the news, he is always hurting himself again and again, it's ridiculous that he is still insisting, and still thinking that he can turn back, this, is it love?
Descartes fell silent for a moment on the other end of the line, but his reply was firm: "Give me a moment, Angeli, she's a good girl, and I don't want to hurt her......"
"What about me?" An Jieli only felt a surge of anger surging into her heart: "Why are you so ruthless to hurt me?" Am I a bad girl? Descartes, do you know what the hell you're doing, have you ever considered my feelings? β
The long-term depression and suspicion finally made Ann Jieli explode, although she is usually a gentle and demure girl, but every woman has a reverse scale in her heart, every woman defends her love like a lioness defends her territory, which is never allowed to be touched by others.
Descartes' statement has undoubtedly touched Ann Jieli's bottom line, and she has finally lost her cool.
Descartes also heard Ann Jieli's hysteria on the phone, this time, the guilt in his heart was even heavier, but he could only immediately comfort: "Ann Jieli, you listen to me, I promise you, I will definitely break up with her, bah, in fact, we have never been together, Ann Jieli, you believe me, we just drank too much last night, and I will always have you alone in my heart." β
"Huh." Ann Jieli's eerie laughter suddenly came from the other end of the phone, and then her voice suddenly became calm, so calm that it seemed that a storm was coming.
"Descartes, let's break up." There are no ups and downs in this voice, but as long as you put your heart into it, you can still feel the despair and sadness in it, and An Jieli's words are like a wounded sheep, which makes people smell sadness from calm.
The abrupt words interrupted all of Descartes' thoughts, and his head went blank for a moment as if it had been hammered by a giant hammer.
Parted? Parted!
No, this is absolutely not! Descartes roared in his heart, no matter what, no matter how much he enjoyed the affair outside, but deep down in his heart, he never had the idea of breaking up with Angeli, the little girl who had been by his side since he was a child, wearing a ponytail and timidly calling him "Brother Descartes", had already lived in his heart, how could he think of losing her and separating from her one day?
"No, Angeli, I will never agree to break up...... Descartes was still trying to save the day, but at this time, there was a sudden sound of busy tone on the phone, and the phone had hung up.
"Pound!" Descartes angrily threw the phone in his hand to the floor, and then he jumped up like a lion and walked around the room barefoot, and as he walked, he also angrily said, "No, we must not break up, Angeli, I must not lose your ......"
After walking several laps, Descartes suddenly came to his senses, rushed to the closet like crazy, took out his coat and passport, and ran out of the room in a puff of smoke.
His destination was the airport in London.
By this time, Descartes had long forgotten about it. Today is 26 December and the squad has resumed training as they prepare for tomorrow's Premier League trip to Aston Villa.
Descartes hurried back to Milan as fast as he could, and then hailed a car to Ann Jieli's house, he had already made a decision, even if Ann Jieli asked him to cut ties with Moriel immediately, he would not hesitate to do it, in his heart, no one would be more important than Angeli.
When he arrived at An Jieli's house, he found that it was the 26th today. Schools have resumed classes. He did not see Angel at home, but he saw Angeli's father who was sick, and after being angrily scolded by his future father-in-law, Descartes rushed to the high school in Pavia with his head full of saliva.
Pavia High School is an affiliated secondary school of the University of Pavia. Descartes also studied here for a short year. But as a professional footballer. He spends most of his time on leave, but instead he spends more time going back to school when he comes to visit Angeli.
He waited anxiously at the school gate until it was time for his lunch break. During this period, he accepted more than a dozen requests for autographs and group photos, but the local fans were old acquaintances of Descartes, and they didn't bother him when they saw his restless appearance, but simply exchanged a few words with him.
Seeing Ann Jieli with her head down and Fanny. Jane walked out slowly, and Descartes rushed up, grabbed her hand and shouted, "Angeli." β
Angelia was taken aback, and when she looked up and saw Descartes, her tears couldn't help but rise out of her eyes again, and Fanny next to her was also very knowledgeable, and when she saw Descartes appear, she had disappeared automatically.
The confrontation between the two attracted the attention of the students who were pouring out of the gate, and when they saw that it was Descartes, some of the students who liked football exclaimed, and many more students were used to it and walked away.
Descartes found that this was not a good place to talk, so he hurriedly took Angeli's hand and said, "Ann Jieli, let's go and talk somewhere else, I have come back to explain it to you." β
Angeli kept her face composed, and did not say yes or no, but followed Descartes to a quiet path.
"Angeli, I'm sorry." As soon as he escaped the gaze of the crowd around him, Descartes couldn't wait to apologize to Angeli.
However, his apology did not have a good effect, because An Jieli was really sad this time, her expression was still heavy, and tears were always rolling in her eyes, but she endured it and did not fall.
Her stubborn and sad appearance made Descartes really distressed, and hurriedly stepped forward to hug her and comforted: "Ann Jieli, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to, I just ...... I really just drank too much, and she kept saying that she liked me very much, but I didn't take the initiative and ...... that night."
"Alright, don't say it!" Angelie covered her ears, and the bean-sized tears finally slipped down: "It's not because of her, Deska, do you understand, I've had enough, I hear the news every day about which bar you went to, I see the newspaper saying that you slept with whom, I've had enough, how did you become like this?" Descartes, isn't it enough that you have me, why are you hurting me like this? Woowoowoo......"
Descartes' face instantly turned white, he thought that these things were just published in the English media tabloids, but he did not expect that the Italian media were so bored that they actually wrote these things.
He didn't know how to explain it now.
In fact, it is quite common for players to go to nightclubs or prostitutes, in England, these players are much more energetic than ordinary people, which is the result of long-term training, while on the contrary, their cultural level is not high, and they have received rigorous training since childhood, so their spare time is not rich, and they rarely have any elegant hobbies or interests.
With a lot of money, but the cultural level cannot keep up with the material strength, clubbing, playing with women, and even taking drugs have naturally become the main activities of their usual pastime.
Even those who are as self-disciplined as Ryan Giggs have been pulled back from sex parties by Lord Fergus, so this kind of thing is really a very common thing for the players.
Some addicts are bold, such as Rooney, who only dare to call prostitutes outside, and always be on guard against the grape trellis at home falling, and some addicts are also big and feel that it is not exciting enough, so they turn their attention to other areas, such as Terry.
And although Descartes often went out with Walket and others, he was still somewhat sane. It's all a deal that you and I want, and there have been no scandals like double flying and friends' wives.
It's just that this kind of thing, put it off the table, can be regarded as the past, put it on the table, that is, messing with the relationship between men and women, which is not allowed by social morality, of course, he can't justify himself, and he can't calm An Jieli's anger.
Perhaps Descartes didn't realize that his personality was more or less influenced by the local players after he went to England. For example, there is such a thing as going to a bar. He had never been to Italy, but when he came to England, he was unfamiliar with the place, and he often felt empty and lonely. Therefore, it is natural to go out with my teammates to "see". See and go. It's what it is now.
What impressed him the most was the words of his friend Diaby: "It is said that there are 10,000 people in the NBA who killed Chamberlain, and my goal is to surpass him!" Diaby shook his head and giggled when he said this. However, Descartes listened with envy, "Ten thousand beheaded", what kind of realm is that?
When such things are not only not spurned, but are still talked about, Descartes' moral outlook has actually changed, and in his heart, he vaguely thinks that it is enough for him to be sincere to Angeli, and as for being amorous outside, it is "a mistake that every man makes", and it is not a big deal to believe.
Unexpectedly, it was these things that he thought were no big deal that gradually precipitated in An Jieli's heart, and finally broke out, which made her completely heartbroken.
At this moment, Descartes really didn't know what to say, he could only hug Angeli tightly, and muttered the word "sorry" over and over again.
Angeli thrashed him desperately in Descartes' arms, as if trying to break away, as if she wanted to vent her sorrow and pain for many days, until she struggled no longer to have any strength, and then fell into Descartes's arms and began to cry bitterly.
The two of them embraced each other quietly, and the air was filled with various emotions such as guilt, sadness, apology, and emotion, until the bell rang again.
Anterius had obtained her understanding, and Descartes had no time to take her vows before he had to fly back to England again.
Descartes was unable to receive a call from the club due to a broken phone, unaware that an angry Arsene Wenger had already punished him with a ban during his unexcused absence from training, and given the extremely bad impact of the previous day's "rape gate" time for the club, Wenger simply kicked Descartes to the reserve team and asked him to reflect on his mistakes in the reserve team.
Descartes, who returned to the team, soon learned of the shocking news, but in the face of Wenger's anger, he did not dare to make any more excuses, so he could only go to the reserve team with his head down and silently accept the team's punishment.
But the media didn't intend to let him go, and even a few of his friends ignited a raging fire of gossip about the incident.
"Descartes, what the hell is that girl? I heard that she is not yet 16 years old, is it true? Diaby came over with a lewd look on his face after training, and when Descartes saw his face, he wanted to print a few spikes on it, and with a snort of interest, he shook his hand and walked away.
But after a few steps, Walcott rushed over again, and asked sneakily: "Deska, have you done it this time back to Italy, are you really going to step on two boats?" I really admire you......"
"Fuck off!" Descartes was furious and kicked Walcott in the ass, grinning in pain, but the curiosity in his eyes intensified.
Even Bella, who was sent to the reserve team because she secretly ran back to Mexico for a tryst with Descartes, came up: "Descartes, you are really amazing, you have one hidden at home, and there is such a beautiful chick outside, teach me a hand, and when my brother is developed in the future, I will not forget your ......"
Descartes' head was beating with green tendons, and Bella saw that the big thing was not good, so she hurriedly and quietly slipped away, this thing, if it is not good, it will kill someone!
Walking out of the Kearney base, the tide of media outside immediately made Descartes hold his temples, and the gate of the Kearney training base was even more lively than a press conference, and the media had already set up long guns and short guns, just waiting for Descartes, the male protagonist, to appear.
Sure enough, the moment Descartes appeared, hundreds of media reporters immediately flocked to him, blocking him in the center, and the microphone kept coming to his mouth, and even almost reached into his mouth.
"Descartes. Can you tell us about the whole process of this matter, we are all curious to see if you are really talking to Moriel. Golden Tap? β
"Deska, I heard that you flew back to Italy early in the morning, did you go to apologize to Miss Angeli? Can you and her continue? Or are you going to break up with her and be with Miss Molill? β
"Deska, are you going to announce your affair with Miss Moriel? It is said that there is an outside betting market that has opened up your relationship, and everyone is optimistic that you will break up soon, what do you think? β
β¦β¦
Descartes closed his lips tightly and said nothing. Just stand quietly in place. looked at the red-faced reporters, and he didn't blink even when the microphone stabbed him in the nose.
Fortunately, a group of Arsenal staff quickly poured out of the Kearney base, and they helped Descartes to separate the reporters, and Descartes was only then in the spotlight. Suppressing his anger, he strode away.
Descartes thought he would be fine if he remained silent. But he underestimated the imagination of the media. What does silence represent? Silence is a sign of acquiescence.
So the media is more topical, anyway, all the newspapers write according to their own imagination, they have "interviewed" Descartes! They asked so many questions at the time. At that time, people "acquiesced", and this still didn't give them a chance to play freely?
So for a while, about Descartes being banned from the team, about Descartes splitting his legs, about Descartes and Saturday Girls member Moliel. The news about the breakup of Descartes and his childhood sweetheart's girlfriend has been reported in the newspapers, which has become a topic that the whole of England is talking about after "Rape Gate", the media simply love Descartes, after Ronaldo, he deservedly carried the banner of England's "lace top card", so that the media will not have nothing to do after losing Ronaldo, he is really a friend of the media.
And Arsenal, who lost Descartes and Cesc Fabregas, also embarked on the journey to challenge Aston Villa away with a chaotic mood.
At the end of the 90 minutes, Arsene Wenger was grim-faced, and Aston Villa manager Martin Wing. O'Neill had a smile on his face as his side held a mighty Arsenal to a draw and picked up a precious point on the road to relegation.
And Arsenal, which has won consecutive victories against strong opponents, has just gained momentum, and lost two points because of the scandal incident of Descartes, the core of the team, Wenger is simply furious at this time, he really can't understand, what is wrong with this team?
Back in London, Arsenal are not getting a respite as they face Portsmouth in 24 hours due to the early Christmas fixtures.
The focus of the game was Arsenal's meritorious captain Tony. Adams led the team back to the Emirates Stadium for the first time, and there is no need to repeat Adams's achievements and the love he received at Arsenal, and his master-apprentice battle with Arsene Wenger became the final focus of attention after Christmas.
Portsmouth have played the Gunners 66 times before, with Arsenal holding the upper hand with 28 wins, 24 draws and 14 defeats, with Portsmouth's last win coming on 17 September 1955. Since Portsmouth returned to the Premier League in 2003, the two sides have met 11 times, and Arsenal has an absolute upper hand with a record of 5 wins and 6 draws, so the media is still more optimistic about this game.
However, the process of the game was not as easy as the media imagined before the game, Adams injected Portsmouth with a stubborn defense and tenacity, and the team held on to the door for 77 minutes before conceding, and in the end Arsenal only managed a narrow 1-0 victory.
The hard-fought victory also exposed a problem, after the loss of Cesc Fabregas and the internal suspension of Descartes, Arsenal's attacking strength has weakened to a considerable extent, Van Persie and Rosicky are good, but they are not yet capable of supporting Arsenal's attacking banner on their own, in short, they can make themselves better, but they can't make the team improve as a whole.
There is still a certain gap between their organizational ability and that of Descartes and Cesc Fabregas.
In this case, Wenger wavered from Descartes' ban, and he originally wanted to punish Descartes this time to make him realize his mistakes, but he didn't expect the team's performance to decline sharply after losing Descartes, and it turned out that Descartes had unknowingly become an indispensable member of the team.
Is that going to end Descartes' intra-team suspension early?
Arsene Wenger is caught in a rut.
On the other hand, Descartes is also in a contradiction, but his problem is different from that of Wenger, he is facing a crying little girl with pear blossoms and rain.
"Molly, I'm sorry, but I don't think I can accept you, I told you, I love my girlfriend very much......" Descartes looked at the crying Moliel in front of him, he really didn't know how to say the rest of the words, compared to his decision on the court, his indecision in the love field is really hateful.
"I don't want to break you up." Moriel cried heartbreakingly: "But Deska, I just want to ask for a chance, if one day you think that the two of us really can't be together, you can drive me away again, okay?" β
Descartes covered his head, and the words he had thought of could no longer be spoken. (To be continued......)
PS: I kept the festival, so I reached out to ask for candy, begged for tickets, tickets, movie tickets, and handed them all over to me!
