When John Peter was hesitating, his mobile phone rang, he pressed the answer key, and heard Alan
Kevin’s anxious and flustered voice coming from the microphone, "John, god, it's lucky you haven’t
been found by Mr. Taylor. It took me a long time to fool him away! Really, I’m so tired. Now I can
understand the meaning of the sentence - to cover a lie, it takes countless lies."
"Thank you, Alan." John Peter just said such a sentence.
Alan Kevin on the opposite side of the phone paused, and then said with a smile, "Not at all. We are
brothers. Aren’t by birth, but by heart!"
John Peter, "…"
Alan Kevin waited for a while, then hesitatingly asked, "John, have you not forgotten Anna?"
This time, John Peter gave a definite answer in a second, "Yes. I have never forgotten her."
Now it was Alan Kevin’s turn to be stunned, and he looked at the front in daze. John Peter didn’t wait
for Alan Kevin to say anything and hung up the phone.
Alan Kevin was staring blankly at the hand of the mobile phone, and he said in a very emotional way,
"Why the love stories are too complicated? John Peter is like this, so am I! Why can’t we have a perfect
love story?"
On the other side, downstairs in Aiden Stark’s rented apartment, John Peter was hesitating whether to
go up or not. He was afraid to see Anna’s eyes with complaints, which will make his heart ache.
In this confusion, he spent his night alone, downstairs.
The next day, the sun was shining. Aiden Stark was going to take part in a competition today. So he got
up early in the morning. Seeing his sister vomiting by the toilet, he felt really distressed, "Sister, I will
stay at home to take care of you today. I am not at ease to leave you alone like this."
Anna struggled to get up from the ground, shook her head and said firmly, "no! you don’t have to.
Today is the first game of your professional league. If you are absent, then your efforts of one year will
be in vain. I’m really ok, I am just a little tired. Aiden, go quickly. It’s not good to be late!"
"But, sister..." Aiden Stark was still worried.
Finally, he was pushed out by his sister. "If you came back without a victory today, I won’t admit that
you are my brother!"
Aiden Stark helplessly shook his head and advised his sister, but his sister shut the door, "Sister, I’m
leaving! Take care of yourself at home and call me if you have something. Do you understand?"
"I know. Don't be so wordy. Go."
Then all was quiet in the room and nothing stirred. Anna leaned on the door, and a feeling of nausea
came over. She quickly covered her mouth and rushed to the toilet.
She vomited again. Before she cleaned herself up she got up in a hurry and headed for the kitchen.
She poured herself a cup of water and forced herself to drink it. The disgusting feeling was slightly
suppressed. She stroked her abdomen with a wry smile and said, "You naughty little scallywag, do you
know that your mother is very uncomfortable? Now I'd like to have some sour food. Let's go and see
what's in the fridge."
She opened the door of the refrigerator and found some food inside. Suddenly, she felt sick again. She
closed the refrigerator in a hurry. Then she sat on the sofa and felt her empty stomach. She stood up
abruptly and walked outside with her bag.
"Not only for my own sake, but also to give my baby enough nutrition, I’d better go to the supermarket
and buy some fresh fruits and vegetables."
As soon as she went out, a cold wind blew in her face, which made her shiver. The key bag in her hand
fell on the ground. She tried hard to pick it up, but somehow, the wind blew it aside.
So, she had to walk slowly and bend down to pick it up.
As soon as she bent, a pair of sports shoes appeared in front of her. Then the owner of the shoes
picked up the key for her. Anna held the key and said without looking up, "Thank you."
But when she raised her head, she was stunned.
John Peter didn't expect that they would meet again in such a situation. He greedily looked at Anna’s
face, and then his eyes moved down. When it moved to her abdomen, he stared for a longer time.
Anna’s first reaction was to cover her abdomen with her hands, and then she said in a cold voice,
"John Peter? Why did you come back home? Does your uncle know?"
John Peter stared at her in silence.
Perhaps his eyes were burning, or for some other reason, Anna felt very uncomfortable, so she said in
a deep voice, "I have something else to do. I have to go now..."
As soon as she said this, her arm was held by his hands. She raised her head in amazement and
looked into John Peter’s sad eyes.
Then, he said in grief, "is this the life you want? You chose my uncle, but he didn’t want you in the end.
Is that what you want?"
Anna was stunned, then she shook off his hand and said with a cold face, "this is my own business. It
has nothing to do with you!"
She said so and walked toward the gate.
However, John Peter didn't let go of her hand, but regardless of the fierce struggle of Anna, he forced
her to his arms, firmly hugged her and whispered, "Anna! I love you! I still love you! Try to understand,
now that you and uncle are divorced, we can be together! I’ll take care of you! I won’t let go of you
again..."
Anna’s struggle was of no use. She was forcefully held in John Peter’s arms and wriggled uneasily.
However, John Peter still held her tightly and didn't let her go.
He was hugging her and in the eyes of outsiders, they looked like a couple who was at odds with each
other.
After a long time, when Anna gave up struggle, John Peter said in a low voice with a smile on his face,
"where do you want to go? Can I accompany you?"
Anna said in a muffled voice, "going to the supermarket! Can you let me go now?"
Although he didn’t want to, still he slowly let go of her. As soon as Anna left him, his heart felt so empty,
he looked at her plaintively and said, "You are a thief!"
His unclear words made Anna shock, "What?"
John Peter looked at her silly appearance, and then said, "you are a thief because you stole my heart
unconsciously..."
When he was saying this, he noticed the redness in her eyes and immediately confessed with
satisfaction, "Anna! I love you."
Anna was startled, her first reaction was to look left and right for fear that someone who knew her
would hear it. As soon as she confirmed that there was no one, she said, "shut up!"
Then she walked towards the door of the community without looking back.
John Peter was shocked for a while, and then quickly followed up, "You seem to become too skinny.
Even when I hug you, you seem too fragile!"
Anna, "…"
