Finally I Got You

The elders were up and the two kids were up, but Kevin and Paul were still sleeping. They had no choice but to drag Fred and the three of them fought the landlord all night until dawn.

But today is the first day of the year, the elders have decided to go out, the important people today are the two children, the main take the children out to turn, and Kevin and Paul two ‘driver’ of course can not be missing.

“Grandpa, the two uncles are not getting up, what should we do? Are we still going out today?” Jeffery and Jack beamed their little mouths and said as if they were aggrieved.

For them, this is a good day to play, and with so many people to accompany and spoil, of course they want to play well.

“How about I call the two drivers to come.” The mayor, looked at his two grandsons and said happily.

“Dad, no, we’re up.” Just as he finished speaking here, he saw Paul and Kevin yawning and coming down from upstairs.

For children, it is never enough to play, just like all of us, always look forward to the New Year, but the New Year is only a few days, the third day of the year, Paul and Kevin began to be busy, and Mayor Warren because there are a lot of people to visit in the New Year, the second day will go back, leaving only the two elderly in The Garner family.

Fred wanted to spend a few more days with his wife and sons, but did not expect to be called out by Albert in a phone call.

If it were anyone else, Fred would not have gone out, but Albert is different, not only is he a good brother, after he and Elena reunited, he is a great help to them, this will be his business, Fred certainly can not ignore.

Wisky Bar is not closed for New Year’s Eve, not only that, there are more customers than usual, as one of the owners, Fred has not come for a long time.

“Albert, this New Year’s Eve, you’re not at home with the elders, why do you come here to drink?” When Fred came over, Albert was already eight parts drunk.

Fred hurriedly helped him to the sofa, he had known Albert for seven years, in these seven years, Albert never let himself get drunk, even if he drank, it was only in moderation, what had happened this New Year?

“Fred, she’s not dead, she’s not dead–” Albert suddenly grabbed Fred and screamed like he had lost his mind.

“Albert, who’s not dead?” Fred listened in confusion.

“Merry, she’s alive, she’s not dead, Fred, my Merry is alive–” Albert grabbed Fred and suddenly let go of him, and he rolled himself back onto the carpet.

“Merry, the girl you loved?” Fred, stunned, sat on the carpet and looked at Albert incredulously.

The name had been on his lips when he met Albert seven years ago. Later Albert told him the story of him and the girl named Merry, only he remembered Albert saying that she died, and it was because of Merry’s death that Albert became an alcoholic, now counting ten years.

A person who has been dead for ten years is alive again? But if this is true, then Albert should be happy, why is this look?

“No, she is my wife, my beloved wife.” Albert’s eyes were red and he seemed to have cried.

“Then where is she?” Fred asked, puzzled.. Albert’s reaction was too abnormal and unexplainable.

“I don’t know, I just got a letter and a photo.” Albert shook his head and suddenly laughed again. He was crying and laughing like this, which really worried Fred.

“When did you receive it?” Fred was a little worried, if it was really Albert’s Merry, ten years had passed, why did it appear now? And it’s still sending letters and photos, which is a bit unusual.

“A week ago, but I checked, the letter was surprisingly sent from the city, this week, I’ve been looking for it, but there is not a single clue.” Albert drank the sober drink brought by the waiter and said soberly.

“Since she sent the letter to you, wait, she will definitely appear.” Fred did not know what to say, at this time, all he could do was to support him.

“Fred, will it be her? Ten years ago, I watched her fall into the sea, no matter how I look for it, I can’t find it, is it possible ……” Albert held his head with both hands, for ten years, that scene was never forgotten, he watched Merry being swept away by the waves, is it possible? He had some disbelief.

“You are right, then Albert, how do you conclude that it is her based on a letter, a photo?” Fred looked at Albert suspiciously, only to see Albert took out a letter from his arms.

“This word, this photo are not wrong, I am very sure it is her.” Albert said, holding the photo to Fred to see.

But Fred look also in vain, ten years ago, he did not know Albert, let alone her Merry, he just wanted to tell Albert would not be a misreading.

After all, ten years, Fred looked back ten years ago, he can not remember what he did ten years ago, let alone a person, some font.

Even if he was asked to recall the names of his classmates ten years ago and what they looked like, he couldn’t remember, and he thought Albert might be worried sick.

“Albert, if this letter is not Merry remember, or over is someone deliberately impersonate Merry, you ……”

“No, it’s been ten years, no one would be that boring.” Albert did not wait for Fred to finish, namely denied.

“In that case, then you should not drink even more.” Fred advised, he was worried that Albert might have an empty joy.

If it was just an empty joy, he was worried, judging from Albert’s drinking tonight, about the consequences of this impersonation. If the letter and the photo were fake this time, then Albert would most likely become the same Albert he had just met seven years ago.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“Yeah, I’ll wait, it’s New Year’s Eve, maybe she’s busy.” Albert comforted himself with this, but suddenly, he was a little afraid, uneasy, because since the loss of Merry ten years ago, he exiled himself, drunk and dreaming, not to mention that women are also changed one after another. Is this kind of self still worthy of Merry?

“That’s right, Albert, if you really have nothing else to do, help me take care of my two children, okay?” Fred was afraid that Albert would be alone in his thoughts, so he decided to lend his two precious sons.

On the one hand, with the children accompanying Albert, he should not think about it, and on the other hand, when he and Elena make out, the two shining light bulbs do not exist, it is a twofold benefit.

“Don’t, your two genius sons, I can’t handle, maybe they will be whole.” When Albert heard that, he quickly waved his hand.

Fred’s two quirky sons, cute when very pleasing, but once the mischief, that is more than the devil is scary, he still want to live a few more years, still want to find Merry?

The two were talking when the waiter suddenly ran in with a panicked face and stammered, “Albert, it’s not good, a kid came in front and insisted that he was looking for you, even the security guard couldn’t ask him to leave.”

“Looking for me or Fred?” As soon as they heard it was a kid, Fred and Albert both thought of Jeffery and Jack, the only ones so bold as to come to such a high-class club were those two little kids.

“It’s not for Mr. Fred, it’s for you.” The waiter said back.

“Looking for me?” Albert suddenly felt a little dizzy, and I don’t know if it was because he had just drunk too much, he even spoke a little tongue out.

“You stay here, I’ll go check.” Fred held Albert down and told him to sit down and rest while he went out to see what was going on.

“It’s okay, since he’s here to see me, let him in.” Albert tugged Fred, a small child, nothing to worry about at all, just let him in.

“Just as well, go and call the boy in.” Fred nodded his head, this is a high-class club, in case the kid cries and fusses outside later, it’s not good to affect the guests.

The waiter ran out, but came back in a moment, and he hung his head and said, “Fred, he won’t come over, he wants you to go out and talk.”

“How old is the child?” Albert and Fred frowned at the same time, whose kid is this? Such a tug?

“It looks …… I can’t tell, it’s quite tall, like ……” suddenly the waiter stared at Albert.

“Like what?” Fred followed the waiter’s line of sight and also looked at Albert.

“He and Albert are a bit alike, especially the eyes, Albert, could it be your ……”

“Impossible, Albert is only twenty-nine this year, how could ……” Fred glared at the waiter and was about to say he was talking nonsense when he saw Albert get up and rush out, probably because he was dizzy, and when he went out, his head seemed to hit the The door.

The ‘bang’ sound, but he did not even scream in pain, followed by running out, Fred looked at the waiter, also hurried to follow out.

“Little friend, may I ask who you are?” Looking at the child, Albert shuddered a little, did he have the same luck as Fred?

“My name is Bruce Barrett, please pay me one million two hundred thousand dollars. Cash or transfer is fine.” The child said, took out a thick folder, and especially emphasized the word ‘dollars’.

Albert swept his eyes, the thick folder was all in English, and it said something about production costs, milk powder, diapers, clothing, school ……

“Do you really have to be my son?” Fred came out of it when he saw Albert crying like an idiot, though in tears, but his face was full of smiles.

“Maybe, but that doesn’t matter anymore, I’m past the age of needing a dad and just came to you so you wouldn’t feel guilty. Pay up, please, I have a plane to catch.” The half-grown kid standing in front of Fred hung back and said.

“Is your mother here, too?” Albert didn’t seem to hear the child and continued to ask.

“Sorry, my mommy and daddy went on their honeymoon.” The child shrugged his shoulders and smiled sweetly.

“Daddy? She’s married?” Albert looked like he had been struck by electricity, his body trembled, the folder in his hand fell to the ground, Fred took an arrow step forward and held the shaking Albert.

“You nagging, pay or not, if not, I’ll change my last name.” The kid standing in front of him was incomparably arrogant.
