His voice was like a match burning on this cold winter night.
I abruptly raised my head and subconsciously grabbed the doorknob.
But I froze before opening the door, wondering why he had returned.
Aaron said outside, “I know you’re still at the door! I saw the doorknob being turned”
What a hateful man! He had sharp eyes! I felt a little annoyed.
Since he had exposed me, I did not want to deny it.
I roughly wiped my tears off and hid my emotions behind a calm voice when asking, “Why are you back?”
Aaron seriously replied, “Because I have a thing to tell you.There seems to be a letter in your mailbox downstairs.Why don’t you go to have a look?”
I felt speechless.
“Thank you for telling me.Goodbye!” He asked in surprise, “Aren’t you going to check it?”
“I don’t feel like going downstairs now”
“You don’t want to open the door because you’re afraid I’ll take the opportunity to go in, right?”
After he exposed my thought again, I fell silent.
“I swear I won’t go in.I did see a letter in your mailbox when passing by.Go downstairs and take a look.I can’t do anything to you outside, right?”
“That’s hard to say”I retorted in a faint voice.
After all, he had a “criminal” record.
When he lost his mind, he would not care about what the occasion was.
Aaron was stunned to hear my words and loudly laughed, “Why do you still remember what happened that day?”
Finally, I opened the door.
I had not paid attention to my mailbox just now.
I would get in trouble if it was a letter about my work or from government agencies.
However, I had been working in Germany for half a year, and there should be no omissions in the formalities.
Even if the government had sent me letters, they should have mailed them to Germany.
Who would send a letter to this apartment? When I was thinking about these questions, I saw Aaron’s bright smile again.
Seeing him intend to approach me, I immediately took a step back and said, “Stop.
Please keep a distance from me: Aaron cooperatively raised his hands in a gesture of surrender and obediently stopped his steps.
Then, we went downstairs together.
There was indeed a letter.
“See? I didn’t lie.”
Aaron seemed to be able to read my mind.
After taking out the key and opening the mailbox, I saw a postcard quietly lying inside.
I instantly knew who had sent it to me.
And my bad mood became even worse.
I took out the postcard with an Adélie penguin on the back and saw a line of words.
“Dear Olive, congratulations on buying your first apartment in Manhattan.We’re fine here.Don’t worry about us.We miss you.”
I had told my parents about the apartment two years ago, but they had not replied until now.I rolled my eyes.I didn’t bother to take another look, so I turned around and left.
“What’s this? A postcard?”
Aaron followed me and asked, “Is it from your parents?”
I was too lazy to answer his questions but stopped to look at him, asking, “Why are you following me?”
“What’s written on it?”
Aaron pointed to the postcard in my hand.
“Are you curious?”
“Can I have a look?”
He did not regard himself as an outsider at all.
After handing the postcard to him, I walked straight into the elevator.
“Wait!”He nimbly squeezed in before the doors closed.
We were in the elevator alone.
He lowered his head and quickly read the words on the postcard.
Then, his smile froze on his face.
“When did you buy this apartment?”
