Chapter 12 A Good Cry
During the year when Eleonora had married into the Lance family, Anna was the one who met Eleonora the most.
Every time Anna saw her, there was a slight worry in her eyes. It made people know her heaviness in the heart without asking. In the past, Eleonora had been a cute girl who was lively, optimistic, and clever. Since she married into the Lance family and her mother went away with hatred, the former Eleonora disappeared.
Today, the moment she had signed the divorce agreement and left the Lance family, the former Eleonora seemed to come back again.
Anna was no longer angry when she saw happy Eleonora in front of her. Maybe Eleonora didn't want to have anything to do with the Lance family anymore. That was good, too!
"Well, then I'll reluctantly accept your invitation. It's your treat, and I'll pay. Tell me, what big meal?"
"Do you remember the home-cooked restaurant we always went to when we were in college? It's clean and the hostess is enthusiastic. I haven't been there for more than a year. I miss it so much!"
Anna shook her head with a smile and said, "Look at what you want. I thought we were going to have a big meal. It's just a little request."
"Anna, you know how happy we were at that time!"
"Yeah, we also have Yvonne. At that time, we got a scholarship or birthday celebration there. We were so happy. At that time, we often met the handsome senior. What a coincidence, he often rushed to pay the bill..." Anna excitedly recalled.
She didn't hear Eleonora's response for a long time. She turned around and saw that there was a faint sadness on Eleonora's former excited face.
Anna quickly shut up.
Yvonne and Henric Lance probably were the pains that Eleonora was unwilling to mention.
"Anna, I suddenly want to eat spicy hot pot. Let's go somewhere else!" Eleonora murmured.
Anna knew that she had made a blunder, so she pretended to be fine and said, "Uh-huh, let's go to have the Chongqing hot pot. I know you're so into it. It's so spicy that you can have a good cry!"
Eleonora glanced at Anna and said, "Sister, I'm very happy today. I just want to laugh and do not cry. I'm divorced and I'm free. How happy I am!"
She could tell that it was far-fetched from what Eleonora had said.
Anna stuck out her tongue. She felt that what she said today was wrong. She might as well pretend to be deaf!
Now, Eleonora was in a sensitive period, so it was better not to irritate her.
Anna took Eleonora to find a typical Chongqing hot pot shop.
Eleonora ordered a two-flavor pot, and asked the waiter to put super spicy peppers in it.
Anna was flabbergasted.
But she didn't dare to stop Eleonora.
Sure enough, when Eleonora ate the hot pot, she was crying and shouting.
Anna's chopsticks were always lingering on the clear soup pot. She did not dare to try that kind of extremely spicy taste, in case her mouth turned into a sausage and she still needed to go to work tomorrow.
Besides, Eleonora ordered some wine. Anna did not dare to drink because she needed to drive.
Eleonora ate the spicy hot pot, with white wine of more than 50 degrees. How bitter would this girl be? She was really torturing herself.
Anna's heart ached, but she did not know how to stop Eleonora.
After the meal, Eleonora was already drunk.
It was rare for her to lose her composure like this.
Anna almost entered her rented apartment with Eleonora on her back.
"Anna, I'm free. Oh, I'm free! I'm no longer tortured by that demon!"
This was what Eleonora had repeatedly said after she got drunk.
